False claims suggesting that Hurricane Milton was “engineered” and that the weather in Florida is being “manipulated” have been spreading on social media.

There is no technology that allows humans to create and control hurricanes.

But on platforms like X and TikTok, posts alleging - without evidence - that the US government is secretly controlling the weather have been viewed millions of times.

Many were published by accounts known for spreading conspiracy theories, as well as misinformation about Covid-19 or vaccines.

On Wednesday, US President Joe Biden described the claims as "beyond ridiculous", adding "it's so stupid, it's got to stop". 

He was responding to Republican congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, who in recent days suggested on her social media accounts that the US government "can control the weather".

Posts seen by BBC Verify mainly suggest Hurricane Milton, one of the strongest storms in recent US history, was purposefully created by shadowy forces at the heart of US politics.

But the accounts making that claim proposed several different explanations for how that was supposedly done.

Christian Troy, circa 2006/7 era whenever it was when he was going on about opening a bar in Pattaya, I introduced to a few names in the bar scene one night, everyone of them saw right through him  and told him so, I thought he was going to cry.

Didn’t he do the dirty on piggy (Moo Noi) promising manager job or something to him and piggy went as far as quitting his current job in Bangkok 

That’s my mate P’127 you are talking about 🤣

The name is the baby pigmy hippo, it’s also the new nickname of a certain Thai politician

Trump and his supporters still believe that tariffs are paid by the exporter and not the importer and that an increase in tariffs would lead to an increase in cost to the American consumer.

This mani is running for President and people support him 

Next time they ask to go to the toilet point to the litter box placed in the corner of the room

And that is the type of crap that Theists come up with and actually believe it

Ultimately it's a question of belief, e.g. I've never seen magnetism, or hydrogen...

These type of arguments along with can’t sea air, radio waves and a multitude of other things that can’t be seen exist, therefore god who can’t be seen also exists drive me mad.

No, but the presence or effects of can been measures or seen by methods developed by science, and then (this is the best bit) “Well scientists refuse to look for / invent things for god”

Inferno bus owner ‘tried to hide illegal gas cylinders 
 

The owner of the bus that caught fire and killed 23 students and teachers in Pathum Thani tried to hide some gas cylinders on other buses in the same fleet, according to the Department of Land Transport.

After the company failed to send five buses for inspection on Thursday as ordered, officials found them via GPS at a garage in Nakhon Ratchasima and seized them while their gas cylinders were being removed, said Jirut Wisanjit, director-general of the department.

And the irony is that legalized election interference exists in the USA by means of the Three-fifths rule and the electoral college which is very much in republicans favour. 
if Republicans did get rid of electoral interference they wouldn’t be in power for another 20 years

It’s like in the states, where would your 2.2 kids, a dog called Rover, white picket fence  nuclear family make purchases, they’d just head to Best Buy (is it still open?) or it’s equivalent 

MBK / Fortune etc were fun in the past but there comes a time in your life when you just can’t be arsed with the hassle, am I getting old, maybe, but I like the simple things now. The Power Buy where we live is less than 1KM from home, when we had to replace the TV a couple of months back just went online  and ordered it and it was delivered and installed within three hours all for the list price. Can’t beat that.

I am beginning to start to doing just like my Dad did 

I took my wife to be tested for Tourette’s Syndrome, but the test came back negative.
Turns out I am a cunt and she does want me to fuck off.

Yes, handed himself in now.

What is it with Thai Drivers and “ Fleeing the Scene”? This never seems to happen anywhere else

Personally I wouldn’t fuck about with MBK / Fortune / Future Park etc and just head to the nearest Power Buy, reasonable prices, genuine items and a warranty which is worth the paper it is written on.

Over the years I have purchased TV’s, Printers, Air Conditioning Unit etc from them

Power Buy is part of the Central Group so their outlets are located in Central Stores

Questions are now being asked should NGV be used for school buses 

Ten kindergarten students tragically lost their lives, and many others were injured,after a fire broke out on a coach during a school field trip outside Zeer Rangsit mall on Vibhavadi Rangsit Road in Pathum Thani province, near Bangkok.

The blaze, which erupted on the coach at around 12.20pm today, October 1, was reported by the Facebook page Fire & Rescue Thailand. The ill-fated bus was carrying enthusiastic students from Wat Khao Phraya Sangkharam School in the central province of Uthai Thani, aged between four and five years old.

The group was en route to a highly anticipated field trip when disaster struck. Of the 42 teachers and pupils on board, only 19 managed to escape the inferno in time.

Firefighters from the Hongskul Khlong Luang 21 Rescue Foundation swiftly closed the road and battled the fierce flames. Although the blaze has now been brought under control, rescuers have yet to inspect the interior of the bus for safety reasons.

Full Story

For certain German readers I would like to point out that this was a regular coach and not a luxury coach since I realise basic English is difficult for him to comprehend. I would also wish to point out that Wat Khao Phraya Sangkharam School is a regular school and that Hongskul Khlong Luang 21 Rescue Foundation is a regular rescue foundation

And if having imaginary friends isn’t bad enough, some countries go to war over it.

Oddly, Jesus never wrote anything down himself, nowhere is there a “gospel according to Jesus” only the gospel “according to

Well, to write something down you do have to exist . I am not saying that Jesus or Yeshua didn’t exist it was a very common name at the time in the area, or that he wasn’t crucified, since crucifixion was a common form of execution at the time.

So a man with a common name executed by a common method I can accept, what I can’t accept is all the unverifiable bullshit surround this character such as Virgin Birth, Son of God, Resurrection and you know the score.

The reason why some bloke called Jesus who was crucified by the Roman’s didn’t write anything down since he couldn’t read and write and he wasn’t important.

If he was the son of God, you would have at least expected that god would have given his the ability to read and write, and told him “Son, keep a Diary to stop arguments in 2,000 years time”

A quick google gives this “… Balthasar is often represented as a king of Arabia or sometimes Ethiopia, Melchior as a king of Persia, and Gaspar as a king of India…”  So 3…I read the Bible in high school…didn’t like it I hear the faithful readers have been waiting a long time for the sequel .

But that is only a suggestion, someone making more shit up about made up Shit, The Goat Herders Guide to the Galaxy does not specify the number of wise men, it’s just self important assholes adding their 2 Cents worth

3 wise men from the east did and showed

Another misdemeanor, the Bible makes no mention of Three wise men, only wise men from the East. Who is to say that there were only two, one bringing Gold and the other the fragrances Frankincense and Myrrh, or maybe there were 12 of them and only three brought gifts and the others were cheap Charlie’s.

Matthew 12 if you want to look it up, no I am not Theist, I have actually read the Bible cover to cover 

Trumps parents weren’t immigrants, neither was his wife, immigrants are only brown in the eyes of the Fascist Republicans 

Also Melania was an illegal immigrant. Working as a model on a tourist visa, but the orange one never mentions that, who was somehow fast tracked for an “Einstein Visa” The EB-1A Visa is an employment-based immigrant visa category that serves top-performing experts. Historically, it has been an immigration pathway for luminaries in the sciences, arts, education, business, and athletics, Christ knows what Melania’s skill set was, but I don’t see blowing the future president on that list.
