this story about Benjamin Mauerberger, a south african #crypto bro and card carrying member of the chinese #mafia who made so much money via #pigbutchering and other crypto scams that he managed to co-opt a large part of #Thailand's government (to say nothing of #Cambodia and #Myanmar) is nuts.

if you’re wondering about the dark forces driving the current war between thailand and cambodia, this is one of those forces.

Talk about burying the lead. Boring political beauty contest mentions in passing that new SA Lib leader wants to repeal state's Voice to Parliament, then skips on.

SA Liberals set to get CRUSHED...

SA Museum Aboriginal heritage and repatriation manager Anna Russo said the Wangayarta site was the result of "30 years of advocacy from the Kaurna leaders, some of whom have now sadly passed".
...
"What we did as a museum, as an institution, created a lot of trauma, not just at the time in disrupting those graves and bringing them to the Adelaide museum, which I think was quite a heartless thing to do," she said.

Ongoing, and very worrying, trend in Australia.

Increasingly authorities and governments are dropping the requirements and qualifications needed for its enforcement staff to carry lethal weapons.

Shorter training in Victoria, decreasing literacy and numeracy levels in SA, and arming staff outside usual police ranks in the NT.

We have seen the current ‘highly trained’ police misuse their lethal powers. Dropping the standards even further isn’t going to provide better outcomes.

Look, I think it’s about time the entire parklands was handed over to private developers for high rise, fast food franchises, mini golf, data centres, petrol stations and the like.

I'm sure the big fossil fuel companies, which profit off the pollution that causes global warming of oceans, which leads to toxic algal outbreaks, will now fully compensate the affected communities in South Australia.

Does South Africa NEED to bend the knee to the US and what can be done about that if that's the case.

The world needs to 'divest' from Gilead as much as possible. Do not be suckered into the scam that is the United States.

SA officials calmly and rationally explained the purpose of our Expropriation Act and why the US shouldn't be going all batshit crazy over it. But if you ask me, Trump's just looking for excuses to browbeat any country he can right now, so I don't really think he's going to care... :(
