Less than a day after police denied using the Israeli-made Pegasus spyware to track Thai democracy activists a government minister admitted Thailand does use surveillance to monitor individuals. Successive Thai governments have been accused by Human rights groups of using broad definitions of national security as a pretext to prosecute or suppress the activities of their main rivals. And on Monday, a joint investigation by Thai human rights group iLaw, southeast Asian Internet watchdog Digital Reach, and Toronto-based Citizen Lab revealed the Thai government had used Pegasus spyware on about 30 government critics between October 2020 and November 2021.

So as I take it some transfers of some public servants and officials will be taking place soon. But ofcourse with full pay and only the scapegoats who will probably be secretely highly compensated for getting thrown under the bus.

So the Thai government says it only does lawful things while at the same time admitting using the spyware which it says is unlawful.

Human rights violation on political opponents without a doubt

      Bets on whether Uncle Joe survives to run for President

      And from the great independent investigative journalist John Solomon's Just The News: "There'd be so much activity coming into his address, in this case, Hunter Biden's businesses, that he obviously would have to be aware," Johnson said of the president. "So, again, I just use the word obvious, It has been so obvious for so long, that Biden Inc. is a corrupt enterprise. And that this president is corrupt, that he is compromised. "And he fully was aware of this, that he fully benefited from it. The members of his family benefited from all these these millions dollars flowing in from countries that are adversarial to America," he added. Johnson's revelation came just a few hours before Special Counsel David Weiss unveiled a nine-count indictment against Hunter Biden in federal court in California alleging the first son engaged in a years-long tax evasion scheme in which he avoided paying $1.4 million in federal taxes on millions in foreign incomes from countries like China, Ukraine and Romania. @Marc26 "But where's da evidence?"

      Bets on whether Uncle Joe survives to run for President

      Senator Ron Johnson (WI) said Thursday evening that banks filed at least 6 suspicious activity reports (SARS) flagging Joe Biden’s home address. “There’d be so much activity coming into his address, in this case, Hunter Biden’s businesses, that he obviously would have to be aware,” Johnson said of Joe Biden. “So, again, I just use the word obvious, It has been so obvious for so long, that Biden Inc. is a corrupt enterprise. And that this president is corrupt, that he is compromised,” Senator Johnson said Thursday night on Just The News, No Noise show. According to Senate documents, SARS reported about $12 million in wires and transactions which used Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware address. Earlier this week House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) announced he plans to hold a vote next week on a formal impeachment inquiry of Joe Biden. REVEALED: Banks Filed 6 Suspicious Activity Reports Flagging Joe Biden’s Wilmington, Delaware Home Address Too many RINO/uni-party Republicans to allow that to happen, I think.

      Top 5 temples to visit in Thailand

      I never visit Temples. I find them over blown and irritating. The Temples hide billions of Baht, while the poor suffer. They did next to nothing during Covid and sponge off the local community each day for food and so called 'merit'. Each one I see disgusts me more than the last one.
