Vicky Bowman locked up in Myanmar
The entire Internet in my area, the part that does graphics, has partially crashed, so I'm going to give you a Fishwrap without pictures.
Gidday to all olla ya, it's another last day before the weekend, Friday, August 26, and you have plenty of time to hit the mosque
Just a quick recap to bring you up to date:
Prayut suspended

Business shrugs off PM's suspension

Suspension won't affect Apec summit, says Thai foreign minister Don
https://bangkokpost.com/business/2376278/suspension-wont-affect-apec-summit-says-don
According to the Limey news agency Reuters, Prayut is the brave victim.
He has survived a hotly disputed election, mass street protests and four no-confidence votes.
(And he hasn't cried once. But he will.)
Good comment and probably accurate prediction, in the once respected Singapore newspaper, the Straits Times.
https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/thailands-new-acting-leader-is-another-royalist-military-man
Glaring error: Prawit is not "Mister". He is "General" or even "General (ret)" a honorific for life:
Thailand's new acting leader aka caretaker, Mr. Prawit Wongsuwan (left, in photo), represents little substantial change from suspended Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha (right) for opposition forces seeking to end what they decry as military dominance of politics.
https://www.straitstimes.com/asia/se-asia/thailands-new-acting-leader-is-another-royalist-military-man
Ousted and Bowed. Not Forgotten.
Prayut and friends blustered that the 2014 coup maker intends to work at home for a while, even though he remains the junta's chosen 'minister of defence'.
And in the long tradition of Thailand's bloodless coups, the current Royal Thai Army commander promised to stand by him.
For now.

Caretaker Prawit's first order, likely to be repeated incessantly:
Arrest That Woman!
She shaved her hair in protest for political prisoners' right to bail and now they are detaining her for allegedly defaming the court.
(With, note, no bail, no visitors, no lawyer)
She managed to keep protesters near Government House to stay peaceful but they still want to lock her up.
GLOBAL WARMING BANGKOK (ONLY)
Net zero goal draws help from Japan
The promise by new-ish Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt for a 'net zero gfreenhouse gas emissions everywhere in the city' by 2050 won some help from Japan.
On Thursday Chadchart chaired a seminar at the Bangkok Climate and Energy Action Conference for Net Zero Greenhouse Gas Emission, which is quite a long title.
Watching carefully were Takuro Tasaka, minister and chief of the economic division of the embassy of Japan in Thailand, and Jica representative Ryoichi Kawabe.

MYANMAR DIPLOMACY
The ruling Tatmadaw dictators showed Thursday they aren't fooling around.
They grabbed and jailed Vicky Bowman, the former (2002-2006) UK ambassador who had the nerve to open a centre to help (repeat "help") people with business and human-rights problems.
And her husband, prominent artist Htein Lin.
They were whisked off without a word to the rat-infested hell-hole Insein prison in Yangon.

RUSSIA UKRAINE WAR ECONOMY
Bloomberg's alert Nancy Qian
The food crisis is much bigger than Ukraine
Russia's blockade of Ukrainian food shipments and the potential loss of Ukrainian harvests due to disruptions from the war have dominated headlines in recent months. Between February and June, global wheat prices surged by more than 60%, fuelling humanitarian concerns and warnings from international development agencies about food insecurity in African and Asian countries.

U.S.A. CHINA DRUGS TRAFFICKING SMUGGLING
Fact: Fentanyl and ketamine have overtaken heroin as the most-smuggled drugs in East Asia.
Drug Trafficking Organisations (DTOs) purchase illicit fentanyl, fentanyl analogues, and other synthetic opioids, primarily from Chinese fentanyl suppliers.
The average sentence for fentanyl trafficking offenders in the U.S.A. is 74 months in prison, before release to resume trafficking.

So Exactly Like Coronavirus, right?
Americans are highly vaccinated against polio. Here's why it could still spread.
Health experts and Medical Insructors and Scientists will explain it for you.
https://www.cnn.com/2022/08/23/health/polio-spread-vaccine-explainer/index.html
After years of peddling Covid fear, the media is starting to admit fentanyl is actually the leading cause of death for those between 18 and 45.
Fear peddlers, 'Medical Experts', 'Scientists', Lockdowns...
Two YEARS of the above, ruining the lives of people who were in the prime of life with almost no chance of Covid mortality obscured and denied the actual presence of the actual cause of preventible death among healthy Americans between 18 and 45.
The leading cause of death in this age group is not, and never was and never will be Covid. Or heart disease or fatal car crashes or murder by guns.
During the entire time of the coronavirus pandemic, lockdowns, business failure and family tragedy more young people were, and are killed in the prime of life by overdoses of the anti-pain man-made opioid drug fentanyl.
For more than two years, mass media has peddled the ridiculous story of how masks, vaccines and total, complete, uninterrupterted solitary isolation would save the world, although it didn't.
U.S.A. immigration policies encourage smuggling and trafficking of fentanyl to feed (and kill) the locked-in.
During the entire Covid lockdown, China was and China is today the world's top supplier of the murderous killer-drug fentanyl.

CONSIDER THIS
Let's Put It This Way:
U.S.A. CSpan reporter asks James O'Keefe if using 'deception' during an investigation is OK, and his response is...
"O'Keefe quoted ethicist Lous Hodges who argues that journalists have a moral imperative to deceive their subjects if they intend to do investigative reporting.
"He added that it is a worse deception to claim to do investigative reporting when the journalist wants to read off of a teleprompter and believe everything the subject says."
