BANGKOK, Thailand -- When Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen received
his AstraZeneca vaccination shot, he suddenly felt invulnerable and

Hun Sen is already one of the world's longest ruling prime ministers,

"I will rule until a point that I feel I no longer want to rule."

The U.S. perceives Hun Sen as dangerously pro-China because he allows
major Chinese investment and infrastructure projects, enabling Beijing
to extend its reach into Southeast Asia.

Cambodia is simultaneously embroiled in a harsh crackdown against Hun
Sen's political opponents, enforced by prison sentences and fueled by

BANGKOK, Thailand -- U.S. Homeland Security helped Thailand confiscate
"numerous infants," including Caucasian and Chinese, and arrest an
American woman and others who allegedly paid Thai females to be
artificially inseminated for customers in foreign countries.

At least one baby, born premature in Thailand four months ago, was
suffering a brain hemorrhage requiring hospitalization in Bangkok,
officials said.

"An investigative lead on an American citizen, with numerous infants
in her care, turned into a large-scale transnational organized crime
investigation," the U.S. Embassy in Thailand's Homeland Security
Investigations Country Attache Leonard Mancuso said on February 26,
responding to a request for details.

"In a coordinated effort between Homeland Security Investigations
(HSI), the Thailand Department of Special Investigation (DSI), the

Is it possible that the country is truly rebuilding itself . . . from the soul up?

Deb Haaland has been confirmed as head of the Department of the Interior. A Native American congresswoman and, as she describes herself, 35th-generation New Mexican, has been given the reins of the department that has essentially been at war, not simply with her people but with the planet itself and, therefore, all of us, pretty much since its inception. That is to say, the department’s values are those the European colonialists brought with them to the new continent: steal the land from those who live there, then proceed to exploit it.
