The tall, shiny buildings which rise out of the cornfields on the Myanmar side of the Moei river are a sight so jarring you find yourself blinking to be sure you haven't imagined it. Eight years ago there was nothing over there in Karen State. Just trees, a few roughly built cement buildings, and a long-running civil war which has left this area of Myanmar one of the poorest places on earth. But today, on this spot along the border with Thailand, a small city has emerged like a mirage. It is called Shwe Kokko, or Golden Raintree. It is accused of being a city built on scams, home to a lucrative yet deadly nexus of fraud, money-laundering and human trafficking. The man behind it, She Zhijiang, is languishing in a Bangkok jail, awaiting extradition to China. But Yatai, She Zhijiang's company which built the city, paints a very different vision of Shwe Kokko in its promotional videos – as a resort city, a safe holiday destination for Chinese tourists and haven for the super-rich. The story of Shwe Kokko is also one of the unbridled ambition which has rippled out of China in the last two decades. She Zhijiang dreamed of building this glittering city as his ticket out of the shadowy world of scams and gambling which he inhabited. But by aiming so high he has drawn the attention of Beijing, which is now keen to stamp out the fraud operations along the Thai-Myanmar border which are increasingly targeting Chinese people.

It’s a childish word such as pee pee and plop etc the first word a child learns as a “Bad Word” to mean pass wind. So whenever “Trump” is mentioned, those of us who haven’t grown up are reduced to fits of giggles like a 6 year old. I could imagine a Beavis and Butthead take on this

You mean corporate America couldn’t turn a profit on it, so instead of doing something to assist they are quite happy to take the dividends on big pharmaceutical shares whilst big pharmaceutical continues to Bribe, oops sorry I meant Lobby politicians to keep their products on the market

Bashing Mexico and Canada for the Fentanyl problem but who caused it in the first place? Corporate America. Doctors dishing out opioids such as Hydrocodone (Vicodin, Norco) and Oxycodone (OxyContin, Percocet) like candy to all and sundry. Doctors were happy, getting their backhanders off drug companies, investors were happy as share prices in drug companies were skyrocketing, but it was creating an opioid time bomb. Once the problem was recognised the Doctors stooped prescribing the opioids and basically forced the consumers to go cold turkey. Black market Vicodin pills are $5.00 each compared to Fentanyl at 50 cents, even with prescription Vicodin is $142 per 100 or $1.42 a pop so obviously an addict is going to go for the cheapest option. Rather than flooding the USA with illicit drugs as claimed, foreign countries are helping the USA keep the cost of addiction down, rather than imposing tariffs on other countries wouldn’t the USA be better off insetting up proper detox clinics for the problem which it has caused itself

It was the previous Trump administration which employed People with dwarfism at Air Traffic Control FAA Disabilities
