Constitutional Court Judges: Stop Rushing Us!
Hello fellow students, today is Thursday, and the Covid Rules are never, ever going to stop, are they?
Good News Headline du jour Antifa Thug Shoots at Old Man, Kills Antifa Thug
KRABI: Three Grade 12 [in Thai: Mathayom Suksa 6] students, a boy and two girls, decided early Tuesday to go to visit a fourth friend. They climbed aboard a motorcycle.
Along the way, their 'cycle and a BMW collided head-on. All three of the students were thrown into the roadway, possibly unconscious, or worse.
The Beemer driver climbed out, grabbed his shotgun and fired at the prostrate students. He climbed back into his car and peeled away.
Police found him, put him behind bars, and he is helping authorities with their enquiries.
So far, the 41-year-old hopped-up Beemer driver is charged with murder, illegal possession of a weapon, carrying it in public without a permit and firing it in public, and taking illicit drugs. He has admitted to the charges, according to police, saying he was under the influence of methamphetamine [yaa ba] at the time.

But wait, that's just the half of it..
The accused killer-yaa ba user attacked another prisoner in his cell.
He banged the man's head on the cell-block floor and was rewarded with solitary confinement.
Management, teachers and students at Phanom Benja School [below] attended bathing rites for the three students at three local temples in Khao Phanom district on Tuesday.
Fellow students wrote poems for the deceased.

Constitutional Court Judges: Stop Rushing Us!
And the justices are annoyed at the leak of written testimony by  Meechai Ruchupan in the Prayut case.
In the submission, Meechai claims that Prayut has at least another three years as the junta's token 'prime minister' - and the justices want to know who leaked that testimony.
The nine justices are meeting today to discuss the Prayut case - i.e. when Prayut's term ends and he has to skedaddle.
But they have made it collectively clear that they will rule on that case... when they get around to it, and they won't be rushed.
Bangkok: Rain is overwhelming the klongs
It is still early in the rainy season, but many canals are already overflowing.
City governor Chadchart Sittipunt says there's a new and current problem: how and where to direct the floodwaters.
For example, one example:
Chadchart said the most-affected, flooded areas include the Bang Khen roundabout and areas surrounding the tracks of a new electric train route.
And that's a main reason for slow drainage.
Man On Bicycle
He thought he was on a sidewalk, but then he dropped into the klong. Nearby workmen fished him out.
THAILAND DEFENCE
Of interest to the 'caretaker prime minister' who is in charge of negotiating the purchase of F-35 Lightning fighter jets for Thailand. And to Thai taxpayers.

THAILAND CORONAVIRUS
Another terrible day in the saga of THAILAND v. SARS Cov 2
But the "medical experts" and the "scientists" claim they're on the case. For example,
The Ministry of Public Health is in the process of purchasing three (3) million doses of Pfizer vaccine to inoculate children under 5 years old.

But stand by for October 1
That's the date that the 'Thai government' will downgrade Covid-19 from
dangerous communicable disease
to
communicable under surveillance.
Free hospital treatment continues. But a speech yesterday by 'health minister' and 'prime minister wannabe' Anutin Charnvirakul indicated that it won't last forever.
Same for vaccines. The enormous Bang Sue Grand Station is still providing inoculations for walk-ins. But that is also going to end. Eventually.

Bangkok-Korat train schedule
The self-described 'government' of Thailand announced that you will be permitted aboard the first 'high-speed' train in Thai history - in five years, or so.
Quite fit government spokesperson Anucha Bura-pachaisri said, in brief:
- the train will run from Bangkok to Korat. And back, of course.
- plan the trip taking 90 minutes, through six stations and three miniature maintenance roundhouses.
- there will be a lot of land expropriation from today through August 27.
- the fare isn't set.
- Eventually, no time set, this will be part of the Thailand-China line.
Well, that's one good reason for a curfew on all of those darned kids today.
A county in Washington D.C. plans to start enforcing a curfew on teenagers because so many have been shooting each other.
GLOBAL WARMING CALIFORNIA
Rolling blackouts are back...
The governor, Gavin Newsom, is incapable of keeping the lights on in just one American state. He orders
You're Using too Much Electricity
"Do Your Part"
 "Step Up"
 Turn Your Thermostat Up to 78 and Stop Running Major Appliances
So no electric cars, right?
THAILAND ECONOMY
Prayut's junta never supported crypto currency. And now...
 Assets worth over B200m seized from crypto firm CEO
 The main company involved is P Miner Cryptocurrency Group Company.
Thailand's cybercrime police seized the assets of Kittikorn Inta and his girlfriend.
Then they issued arrest warrants for both - who are on the run from their homes in Chiang Mai. Most of the charges allege a Ponzi scheme by the two.
PHOTOS: Several vehicles including this Ferrari were seized in the raid, led by Police three-star general Kornchai Klayklueng, commissioner of the Cyber Crime Investigation Bureau (CCIB), left. Loot from the seizure also included a line of very nice big bikes.
Police briefed the media on the case. The two alleged crooks are in the briefing chart, with their eyes covered.

Hotel invasion
In very early 2020, when Thailand's junta declared a health emergency and lockdown, the owner of the attractive (and very affordable) Blue Lagoon Hotel at the Chaweng Beach of Koh Samui locked the doors and went home.
On Monday, in preparation to reopen - 348 rooms, 400 million baht investment - he found that a gang had stripped everything - everything - beds and tablecloths, wiring and showers, elevators and curtains...
Very early, seat-of-the-pants estimated loss: US$2 million...
Local police arrested six (6) people on initial charges of the break-in, and they are looking for more.
When the statistics roll in on Covid-19 effects, this won't count.

ROHINGYA HUMAN TRAFFICKING
 10 Rohingya rescued from sea, 41 others found on island
The horror of human trafficking is back, and once again the obvious victims are Rohingya, from Myanmar and Bangladesh's refugee camp.
Ten men were found floating in the Andaman Sea near Koh (island) Bulone of Satun province in the far south.
Then, another 41 Rohingya were later found on a nearby island.
The Langu district chief, said the Rohingya told officials they had travelled in a small, packed boat from the state of Rakhine in Myanmar and were heading to Indonesia.

Well, "exposed" and then burnt to the ground. It is dead certain (pun intended) that the FBI can never, ever be reformed.
 One man's experience demonstrates how the FBI needs to be exposed for what it has become and how it has betrayed the nation and its very own motto.

Netflix has done a three-episode documentary on Woodstock.
The astoundingly wonderful James Lileks watched it all and then wrote a factually accurate review that begins:
Oh, wait. It's not Woodstock. It's something ripoffable called "Woodstock 99".
Well, Netflix, right?

WEEKEND READING
Fascinating as all get-out and perhaps mind-changing.
The Idiocy of Econ 101 – Michael Lind [Compact]
The Econ 101 story about the "free labor market" is just as irrelevant in the factory and network sectors of an industrial economy. In the mythology of free-market village economics, any temporary monopoly will quickly be cut down to size by competition with numerous rivals..
Repeat - mythology
Mr. Lind likens the economic destruction wrought by Principled Free Tradersâ„¢ to pilots crashing into a mountain, because the ancient map that is used doesn't account for mountains.

Lab-Leak Amnesia
The whole question of Covid's origins has been sidelined and treated as irrelevant.
Media apathy about the rescinding of this [NIH i.e. Fauci] grant is astonishing, given the location and subject of the research in question - the Wuhan Institute of Virology.
Which is still receiving U.S. taxpayer funds.
... regardless of how plausible one finds the lab-leak hypothesis, the fact that the prime suspects have spent years turning down an opportunity to clear themselves should be a scandal.
