Bangkok policeman jailed for taking a bribe!
Hi kids, settle down now, stop making a racket. It's nearly the Ides of June, Sunday the 12th.
Question to ponder: Is Sunday the first day of the week or the last?
Still unbearably cold with a wind chill of darned chilly and foggy and attractive at the top of Thailand's highest 'mountain', in Chiang Mai province. The wind chill up there is 11 Canadian degrees, a temperature that some Husky dogs can supposedly tolerate.
CORONAVIRUS ORIGIN CHINA

 It sneezed and gave me Covid.
Scientists and doctors have confirmed "the first known cat-to-human transmission" of Covid-19.
 The cat sneezed directly in the face of a Songghla veterinarian, who then contracted Covid. Her infection was identical to that of the cat's owners, and totally different from all other patients at the hospital of Prince of Songkla University in Hat Yai.
 The case has been peer-reviewed and published in Emerging Infectious Diseases of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
 Timeline: "Patient A" is the female Thai veterinarian of Songkhla who contracted Covid-19 when sneezed on by the cat.
 "Patients A and B" are the father-son Covid-infected owners of the cat, from Bangkok.
 The incident is not a total 100% proof that the Chinese government, Communist Party and faithful are lying and covering up facts about the origin of SARS Cov 2 novel virus (see next report). But it's pretty close.
An excellent description and timeline of the event is at the U.S. C.D.C. website, here:

China frustrates search for Covid-19 origin
A large team of scientists searching for the origin of the SARS-Cov2 novel coronavirus reports it probably same out of a Chinese lab - but the Chinese government and Communist Party won't show them the complete data.
The full text of the latest report of the Scientific Advisory Group for the Origins of Novel Pathogens (SAGO) is here:
https://cdn.who.int/media/docs/default-source/scientific-advisory-group-on-the-origins-of-novel-pathogens/sago-report-09062022.pdf?sfvrsn=42b55bbc_1&download=true
That's not the full story by any means.
China denies all things scientific as "a political attack... a lie concocted by anti-China forces for political purposes."
 So the large team of international scientists is a fraudulent front. Right but that's not the big story.
The buried lede and Big Story is that the Communist Party and government of China were unable to prevent WHO, China's owned-and-operated front, from releasing this story and the SOGA report.

THAILAND DRUGS CANNABIS
Thailand's top medical experts and drug regulators and child-psychologists have officially gone totally ape-s**t over the junta's insistence to semi-regulate cannabis and hemp.
They are frantic because now, pretty well every child and teen-ager in Thailand will become addicted to Mary Janes, which experts believe is a gateway drug.
A leading Sunday newspaper reported under a banner headline of concern:
 Concerns over the recreational use of cannabis have been raised following the plant's decriminalisation, with doctors citing problems surrounding a lack of proper regulations.
 Chanchai Sittipunt, dean of Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Medicine, said he is concerned about youths having easy access to cannabis as there is currently no law prohibiting under-age use.
Next, a hearing by the weird United Nations International Narcotics Control Board, a Vienna-based group without power.
This INCB will 'ask' Thailand's junta just how and why it delisted cannabis and hemp from its narcotics list and 'decides the bill violates the 1961 Convention on narcotic drugs. If they think it does, then Thailand will be 'required to take corrective steps and report back'.
The INCB has no enforcement power, and Thailand isn't even a member, so one must wait and see.

Graphics like this are all over Thai media, including TV broadcasts. They are meant to explain the vast new bureaucracy that has been set up for the new industry of cannabis and hemp.
THAILAND JUNTA MONARCHY
Protesters take over Din Daeng
Demonstrators showed their feelings about the ruling junta, specifically Prayut, and the monarchy on Saturday evening.
Over the course of four hours they roved the northern Bangkok area, and blocked the main road to Don Mueang airport.
They set several fires, and burned at least two police vehicles and a police booth.
No casualties have been reported. The protesters broke up and went home around midnight.
[Police were as helpful and efficient as usual.]

THAILAND POLITICS PROTESTS
Anti-junta, anti-Prayut, anti-royalty protesters hit the central Bangkok streets again on Sunday.
For well over 30 years, every passenger on every flight into Malaysia has got the warning that, "If you're packing any kind of drugs, the death penalty is mandatory."
 Now, Malaysian authorties are ready to forget all about that. (Again)
 They're going to get together and discuss just how to replace the mandatory capital punishment with something else.
 Mind, you won't die after a few years is a Malaysian prison for peddling dope; you'll just wish you had.

THAILAND POLICE CORRUPTION

THAILAND RAPPER
After the success, quite joyfully popular, of Milli's 'mangoes and sticky rice' hour-long rap in California, it's disconcerting to learn that the junta feels it necessary to dish out a pickup bed full of cash for an imported rapper from China.
EDITOR'S NOTE: 'Hong Kong' is a colony and large city in China.

A Nevada woman has lost her bid in a U.S. court to force international soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo to pay millions of dollars more than the $375,000 in hush money she received after she claimed he raped her in Las Vegas in 2009. A judge in Las Vegas kicked the case out of court late Friday to punish the woman’s attorney for bad-faith conduct and the use of stolen confidential documents.

MYANMAR GENOCIDE
It seems unfair that China is getting so much credit for its slow genocide and slavery of Uighur people in Xinjiang. Myanmar aka Burma also deserves a mention.
 Tatmadaw using IDs as tools of genocide against Rohingya
 Myanmar's Tatmadaw junta is using identity documents to carry out and increase the genocide campaign of ethnic Rohingya started by ex-leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
 Investigators want the Tatmadaw perps taken before the International Criminal Court. Their campaign to wipe out Rohingya is similar to those of the Holocaust and Rwandan genocide.

These are actually the larva of the darkling beetle, which if anything is even cooler than "superworm".
