Report Israeli Tourist Busted for Selling Magic Mushrooms on Koh Samui
Sure. Apart from the small scale initial crimes as he was starting out such ase these: ""In 1992, Roman Abramovich was arrested and briefly imprisoned on charges of theft of government property. The case centered on the alleged theft of a trainload-specifically, 55 tankers-of diesel fuel from the Ukhta Oil Refinery. According to multiple investigative reports, Abramovich used forged documents to intercept the train in Moscow and redirect the shipment to a military base, where the diesel was then sold off. The value of the stolen fuel was estimated at 3.8 million rubles. Despite the seriousness of the charges, Abramovich was not ultimately prosecuted." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Abramovich Abramovich also committed a number of more substantial crimes after he managed to acquire his oil conglomerate. In Russia's wild east there was a particularly vicious criminal war, now known as the "Russian aluminium war". A considerable number of prior managers, accountants, lawyers and such were murdered. The person in charge of the main aluminium factor at the time testifies in that video how there were 5 attempts made to kill him. A company owned by Abramovich and Deripaska wanted him to sell his interests in the aluminium factory. Only when it was sold to Deripaska and Abramovich did the killings miraculously stop. Then there's the Runicom SA saga. After the fall of the USSR western European countries like Britain chipped in and f inanced the European Bank. This bank made loans to Russian companies. One of the Russian companies gave another loan as security, from Runicom S.A., a company controlled by Abramovich which sold Sibneft oil. One day miraculously all the assets of Runicom SA disappeared and were transferred to a Gibraltar company. Some money was used to finance 12000 USD in beauty treatments for Abramovich's wife. The European bank sued in Russia and won. But by that time Runicom SA's assets had all disappeared. Abramovich secured his money, at the expense of the British taxpayer who finances the European Bank. Abramovich was also close to Yeltsin and Putin. Putin sent Abramovich to Berezovsky, another jewish criminal oligarch residing in Britain at the time and they made Berezovsky an offer he couldn't refuse. He sold shares in a TV company to Abramovich at 20% of the actual price. Abramovich then passed on the interests to nominees of Putin. And on and on it goes. It is really quite remarkable how such a small, inter-connected clique of Jewish "entrepreneurs" managed to secure the wealth of the Russian people. Quite amazing and a fascinating read. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2008/apr/13/mining.russia1 -

Milwaukee Judge indicted for Aiding Immigrant's Escape from ICE Custody
undocumented immigrant Let me try so you understand. You have a sailboat and you're sailing the oceans. You dock somewhere in Thailand and decide this is a great place and you decide to start working and living here. And of course, why shouldn't you be allowed to live in Thailand - you're a "world citizen." Thai Immigration eventually discovers you and busts you for entering Thailand illegally without a visa, as well as living and working here. You are an "undocumented immigrant." So what the heck do you think your legal status is at that point? -

The Tariff Tosser Has Done It Again, Mates!
Trump lies when he says other nations will pay for them. He lies when he says companies will pay for them. Consumers will pay, so it becomes a tax. Be bold, big Don and for once be honest. It is a tax hike. And it could slow down the economy and result in a massive loss of jobs, and major inflation. Very dumb policy. Mr. Trump has contended that his tariffs would lower inflation, because they would increase manufacturing and the productive capacity of the United States. But most economists say that tariffs of the size he is proposing would increase consumer prices and add to inflation. What a lot of MAGA supporters don't seem to understand is that America became the great economy that it was because of the low tariffs, which create a vibrant economy. Duh! A wave of frustration over prolonged inflation helped power Trump to victory in November, and a majority of respondents -- 58% -- said inflation would be a major factor in deciding their vote in future elections. But just 32% approved of the job Trump was doing on inflation. Views of the economy by households deteriorated this month to the lowest level in over a year, according to a widely followed survey by the University of Michigan.- 1

The Art of Saudi Dementia
I remember the Al-Yamamah arms deal. In the end, BAE plea bargained and was fined $400 million. I know how corruption does in that world. I have the Wedgewood and Edinburgh Crystal as proof of corrupt practices impacting the British military. BAE's ban was lifted in 2020, and the then 45th President fired the then Inspector General, Steve Linock, after he declared an emergency to lift a ban on arms sales to the Kingdom, despite Congressional objections. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/us-official-tried-bully-fired-watchdog-looking-saudi-arms-sales Always the danger is that the Saudi government is quite unstable, as the King ages. Iran had acquired the latest kit just before the Shah was booted out, while away getting medical treatment.- 1
