Economy Thailand Plans 10-Year Tourist Visa and 99-Year Land Lease to Boost Economy
And every time you approach the border with such a visa, the whole crowd of male workers perceives it as a challenge. They think that you have come for their women and they are obliged to do everything to prevent this. Therefore, the number of requirements has been constantly increasing over the last 10 years and in 10 years you will need to pass through a much larger obstacle course. -

Report Hồ Chí Minh: A Legacy of Humility and Leadership
Picture courtesy of Vietnam News In Hà Nội, the memory of President Hồ Chí Minh endures, celebrated for his pivotal role in securing Việt Nam's independence and prosperity, as well as for his humility and considerate demeanor. On the 135th anniversary of his birth, Hoàng Phát Hiền, a former member of the Office of the Party Central Committee and the president’s barber, shares his cherished recollections of working closely with the late leader. At 99, with 78 years of Party membership, Hiền vividly recalls his interactions with ‘Uncle Hồ’. He recalls the first meeting, where Hồ Chí Minh inquired about Hiền's origins and age, noting they shared the Year of the Tiger—remarking on the symbolic nature of the Tiger of Bính Dần (1926) as "one in a cage". He encouraged Hiền always to remain healthy, study diligently, and maintain confidentiality. Hiền’s journey as the president's barber began with a summon to ‘Zone 4’, Hồ Chí Minh's residence, during the country’s revolutionary period. Despite being untrained compared to the seasoned barbers before him, Hiền was chosen for his steady hand, trusted by respected officials like Lê Văn Lương and Trường Chinh. During his service, Hiền found himself at ease under Hồ Chí Minh’s calming guidance—“just trim it short to keep it cooler” was the simple request during their conversations. The simplicity in Hồ Chí Minh's daily life resonated with Hiền, especially evident when preparing the president's quarters post-revolution. Disfavoring opulence, Hồ Chí Minh dismissed the extravagant house prepared for him, advocating for simplicity and economics. Instead, he opted for a modest three-room house near a fish pond, once part of the former Government General of Indochina's facilities, favoring its airy and practical nature over luxury. For Hiền, serving President Hồ was not merely a duty but a profound journey shaped by witnessing Hồ Chí Minh's dedication to a "strong and beautiful Việt Nam". Hiền treasures these memories, using them as motivation and affirming his belief in the nation's chosen path. He reflects on witnessing a peaceful, independent Việt Nam as a testament to Hồ Chí Minh's enduring spirit and ideology, which continues to guide modern leaders and earn global admiration.

Slowing Ocean Currents Drive Flood Surge Along US Northeast Coast, Scientists Warn
For Joe Average, this will not be "heart-stopping, stunning news". For the geniuses... well... they are unpacking the stuff needed for the last "CLIMATE EMERGENCY", and repacking for this new , incoming "CLIMATE EMERGENCY". When it comes to things like...welll anything ( heat, rain, marriage, wars.... ad infinitum....ad nauseum...) It will go one way , or the other way...or stay the same. Couple million years ago up to now we have had ice miles thick in ... the Great Lakes. Then, this ice just flipping DISAPPEARED!!! And THEN ( this is TRUE!) it got real warm. As anyone who has experienced both extreme heat and extreme cold, I believe we can all agree that humanity functions much better in a warm clime. Here is the odd thing; during these hot/cold/hot/cold switcherooskis... there was not a single diesel engine... no ICE anywhere. Hell, there weren't even PEOPLE around!!! And yet, doggone if we didn't have these "glacial periods...and inter-glacial periods." Fast forward a few million years, and we look back and readily see humanity grows more food during warm inter-glacial periods. So kids, what have we learned today? The climate WILL change.And there aint one damn thing we can do about the climate changing. We CAN however, prepare for the consequences of our climate changing. Here is a sample of a plan; drill baby drill. Hunt for, find and then save the oil . Have SEVERAL Strategic Oil Reserves across the nation, as well as continuing to drill for what we have. This activity, if pursued with diligence, could do enough to roll us through 10-20 years of cold weather. Have greenhouses all over the USof A. Teach people how to grow food at home. Yes yes..we will need to address many dumbass regulations regarding chickens, goats, gardens and such. Hell, If it is me in the midwest ...or anywhere I could create a basement... I would have myself one helluva basement ...starting today. News Flash (For the brilliant people out there.... Joe Average already knows and is already prepping)... you will need a water supply... a SECURE water supply. Guns and ammo you will need. Make friends with a few neighbors...and do some group planning. A little gold and silver is always a good idea. Practice protecting yourself, your family and your <deleted>. Meds is often overlooked, but Ivermectin, aspirin, antibiotics...essential. A gennie and a sewing machine. A HUGE gasoline, diesel, propane supply hidden and secure! As I said earlier...make a few friends....GOOD friends...dependable friends. If they have a wife and kids... those are the type you probably can depend upon. So, you could do all this for less than $10,000, and be secure. Keep yer yap shut about it except for your friend. My brother is a ham operator. HE CAN TALK TO PEOPLE 12,000 miles away!!!!! A CB radio. batteries. Learn to can. Rotate your stock. And there you have it. How to survive the apocalypse. Don't forget to teach your loved ones how to operate weapons. Shooting, maintaining, and so on. I am too old, but left instructions. I dont think i have more than 2 or 3 years left. NEVER EVER forget.... the Good Lord helps those that help themselves. You can forget the government. If things take a massive dump, those in gov't will be looking for people prepared so they can steal all their <deleted>. THAT'S why you keep yer yap shut, nobody should know what you are about. Much love to you all. I sincerely hope that all of this preperation, and working to have what you need will just be an exercise. I love people. -

The Governments Lied about the Origin of the Covid Pandemic
Making a 'list of facts' is not stringing together 'cherry picked information' and suppling my own interpretation, its simply listing facts outlined in verified documentation which support that the Lab Leak theory cannot be discounted. I agree - there is no unequivocal proof either way - and I agree both scenarios remain a possibility - though I personally, 'believe' the Lab Leak Theory more plausible based on the sources that present both sides of the theory. Additionally, I did not mention the CIA, you did, thats gaslighting by the way, you add a flaw, then argue it as if to strengthen your position - its a flawed and transparent technique of debate. here is my quote: In 2021, U.S. intelligence agencies reported moderate confidence in the lab leak theory https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-58361211?utm_source=chatgpt.com In 2021, the U.S. intelligence community released a declassified report assessing the origins of COVID-19. The report concluded that the intelligence community was divided on the most likely origin of the virus, with both natural exposure to an infected animal and a laboratory-associated incident considered plausible hypotheses. Specifically, one intelligence agency assessed with moderate confidence that the first human infection was most likely the result of a laboratory-associated incident, probably involving experimentation, animal handling, or sampling by the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Four other agencies and the National Intelligence Council assessed with low confidence that the initial infection was most likely caused by natural exposure to an animal infected with the virus or a close progenitor virus. Three agencies remained unable to coalesce around either explanation without additional information. The report emphasised that China's cooperation would likely be needed to reach a more definitive conclusion. Why is China not cooperating ???? So, on one hand you are arguing with the 'facts' that I've presented which support the LabLeak theory, then with the other you argue that both the Lab-leak and Natural Outbreak theories remain unproven... Thus, by your own omission - the Lab-leak theory, remains plausible. Still want to argue from the fence ???
