Jesus came out of his bomb shelter today, took one look about, and went back in. Disciples said he would not be coming out for a long time.
Jesus went into the shelter during the Cuban missile crisis and only came out because he heard that there was finally going to be detente between the USA and Russia. “Obviously I got that wrong” he said. He went on to advise all his followers (not just those on Twitter) to seek shelter immediately. They should stay undercover until man-children, who get confused between Iraq and Syria, are no longer allowed to play with nuclear weapons.

Trump’s outstanding achievement, during his time in office, has been to bring the world closer to global thermo-nuclear war. Trump expects a boost in his sagging popularity from this. Sad thing is he might get it.
When Syrians are killing Syrians it makes sense for Americans to kill some more Syrians so that the Syrians will stop killing Syrians. Even if this does means that all Americans and everybody else might get killed as a result. The photo appears to show scared looking soldiers, hiding behind barbed wire, being faced by masked monks. It is the latest chapter in the increasingly bizarre Dhammakaya story. What the military are doing there is an unanswered question. It is supposed to be the police arresting a monk for fraud.
Another theory has just been put forward and that is that some of these monks are skinheads from Glasgow. They have been "putting the nut" on the police who have soft hats. The soldiers were called in because they have helmets. Police in Lampang’s Thoen district seized about three million methamphetamine tablets from a pickup truck after the driver crashed the vehicle through a road barricade and was forced to a stop after its tires were punctured with police gunshots.
A confused looking Yingluk Shinawatra finds herself surrounded by ordinary people who do not even acknowledge her existence. Normally Yingluk is surrounded by a huge crowd of well orchestrated, adoring, supporters dressed as farmers.
The photograph turned up on the social media without much explanation. Its not clear whether this was a publicity stunt gone horribly wrong or not. However, Bangkok roads are permanently gridlocked due to the incompetence and corruption of successive governments going back as far as anybody can remember. It is, therefore, quite possible that mass transit is now Yingluk’s only way to get to the hairdressers/spa/shopping mall. Isn’t it supposed to be the other way round? People are supposed to flee Military Dictatorships to go to a Democracy. We live in confusing times.
Clearly a wall is needed. But should it be a Trump style wall, built by the Thais to keep the Burmese out. Or should it be Berlin Wall style, built by the Burmese to keep their workers in? |
