Behind the wheel
Re: "Road safety can't wait", (Editorial, Nov 19).
I have just read about the deaths on the roads in Thailand. An average of 48 fatalities per day is tragic -- however, it is not surprising.
I have been driving for over 50 years in the UK and 15 years in Thailand, and I have seen many accidents. I drive many kilometres here, mostly to the northeastern Isaan.
The roads are pretty good. Sadly, the people using them are not so.
I have endured numerous near misses being overtaken by speeding drivers who seem obsessed with tailgating me.
I see many people without crash helmets. Many times, I see three or more on a motorbike. Even underage riders totally disregard the law.
Those who are caught driving under the influence of alcohol must be arrested and suspended from driving for one year at least. Sadly, road deaths will happen until a complete overhaul of driving lessons and tests is carried out.
When trust crumbles
Re: "RFK Jr could destroy modern public health", (Opinion, Nov 19).
On the contrary. Trust in modern public health has already been destroyed by governments. Take, for example, their (still) deafening silence regarding excess deaths, turbo cancers and other health problems since the introduction of Covid mRNA vaccines.
And their refusal to debate and/or investigate these, the surrounding secrecy and lack of transparency. Findings by researchers that contradict governments' narratives are hardly, if at all, published by mainstream media.
Furthermore, a billionaire like Bill Gates and his ilk (without any medical background), now try to enforce to produce mRNA vaccines only for all diseases.
And to top it all off, the WHO is busy trying to force governments to follow their dictates only in case of a new pandemic.
Scrutinize the Fed
Re: "Blasting the Fed", (PostBag, Nov 19).
Regular contributor Songdej Praditsmanont should study the US Federal Reserve before writing about it.
I suggest he read Secrets of the Federal Reserve by Eustace Mullins and view the award-winning documentary film The Secret of Oz by former US presidential candidate Bill Still. Both are freely available on the internet.
Curiously enough, Khun Songdej also seems to suffer a serious case of Trump derangement syndrome.
It is always amazing to see the power of mainstream media to influence people.
The US is $35 trillion (1.2 quadrillion baht) in debt. Government spending of money borrowed with interest payable to the Fed is what caused this catastrophic situation. The only way to fix it is to eliminate the Fed and say goodbye to Jerome Powell. This is totally within the new government's purview.
It has happened before by the way, more than once. And praising the World Bank is another sign of ignorance.
Recent audits showed they lost $24 billion in climate change dough, consistent with being part of the totally corrupt United Nations cabal.
