That would be illegal as its copywrite material , not only that Pirate bay is inaccessible for me . But I.ve heard enough about the documentary to know its one sided , where the poor palestians just want to quietly pick their olives for dinner and Jews keep killing them for no reason at all . Let me guess, its woman and children picking the olives ? -

Report Accusations of Extortion at Bangkok Airport: Chinese Nationals vs. Thai Customs
Photo by Borirak via Canva In a developing controversy, two Chinese nationals have accused Thai Customs officials of extorting cash and unlawfully seizing luxury watches at Suvarnabhumi International Airport, Bangkok, on August 4 of last year. This allegation surfaced after the story was posted by the Twitter account Red Skull on April 28, reportedly sourced from one of the Chinese men involved. The two men brought two Rolex watches from Macao intending to perform a religious ceremony at the Erawan Shrine in Bangkok. However, customs officials allegedly stopped them, claiming that the watches were not declared and required tax payments. The officials demanded a fine of 300,000 baht, allegedly paid in a bathroom, a detail that has raised suspicions of illegality. The watches were not returned to the men, who allege they were coerced into signing documents that transferred ownership to the Thai state. When they sought the watches' return, they were told to buy them back at prices set by Thai Customs. Attempts to file formal complaints were reportedly blocked at various levels. Screenshots of conversations shared on WeChat show a dialogue between one of the Chinese men and a person claiming to be a Thai official. This person allegedly requested cash payments and assured the men that compliance would lead to a resolution, despite the Chinese nationals preferring legal channels. In response, Thai Customs issued a statement on April 29 over Facebook, asserting that all actions were within legal bounds. The statement claims the Chinese travellers used the Nothing to Declare channel, implying an attempt to avoid tax payments. After further inspection, a man identifying himself as a government official reportedly intervened but was rebuffed by customs staff. Despite the claims, Thai Customs stated that the tourists voluntarily surrendered the watches to conclude proceedings, denying any threats or coercion. The identities of those interfering as government officials have not been investigated. The Administrative Court of Thailand has yet to issue a statement on the case. This incident highlights tensions and alleged misconduct at a major international airport, with both facts and reputations on the line. As the situation unfolds, it calls into question procedural transparency and accountability within Thai customs processes. Adapted by ASEAN Now from The Thaiger 2025-04-30 -

The in-your-face corruption of the Trump 2.0 administration
Trump’s Shady Crypto Business Partner Exposed in Shocking New Report https://newrepublic.com/post/194552/donald-trump-shady-crypto-partners-damning-report Donald Trump’s shady crypto business has a surprising partner: Zachary Witkoff, the son of the president’s special envoy to the Middle East, Steve Witkoff. But don’t worry, his dad is getting in on the action too. Trump serves as the company’s “Chief Crypto Advocate.” It’s a sort of ironic title because, while Trump can promote the brand itself, he can also shape policy to the benefit of cryptocurrencies and influence the very markets to which crypto value is tied. The president’s sons, Eric and Don Jr., are both Web 3 ambassadors, while Barron, a freshman at New York University, is a “DeFi Visionary.” -

Young Doctors Slam Supreme Court's Definition of Woman as "Biologically Nonsensical"
Nonsense! Learn to read. Better still, have a look at what biology is all about. Nobody cares about 'gays' They are what they are - why drag them into it? [why drag them (gays] into it?]... The answer lies in the depths of woke absurdity and a staggering lack of critical thinking... Trans men are not women – they never will be. Biological sex is a reality that cannot be altered by belief or identity. Gender identity is one thing, but biological facts remain constant, no matter the narrative. The vast majority of society doesn’t have an issue with trans men – the problem arises when their beliefs are forced onto others. When trans men demand access to women’s and girls restrooms, or push to compete in women’s sports, it becomes a point of contention. These demands clash with the concerns of a clear majority who see this as an unfair and unnecessary disruption to established norms. Yet, for an extremely vocal minority, there’s a strange sense of entitlement that fuels these actions, and the "woke" ideology provides fertile ground for such misguided beliefs to grow. In this environment, civility and respect have been misinterpreted as weakness. The "give an inch, take a mile" mentality prevails, where even the smallest concession is viewed as an invitation for further demands. It’s a dangerous path that threatens the very principles of fairness and mutual respect. I'm so frequently surprised how much oxygen this rubbish gets.
