A woman has been charged with extortion in Thailand after allegedly recording herself having sex with Buddhist monks and then demanding money to support her lifestyle.
Wilawan Emsawat, 35, known as Sika Golf, is accused of blackmailing senior monks at popular temples in several provinces, as well as money laundering and receiving stolen goods, the Bangkok Post reports.
Police said they had uncovered a cache of some 80,000 sexually explicit pictures and videos involving multiple senior monks at various temples across the country after sweeping devices found at her home.
One video shared by police shows a monk reclining on Emsawat on a sofa before she slaps him on the head.
Five mobile devices were said to contain clips and stills of her engaged in sexual acts with several monks, some of whom were still wearing their traditional orange robes, according to the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB).
Emsawat was arrested on Tuesday at her home in Nonthaburi province.
The case has rocked Thailand and brought into focus perceived corruption within the temples.
Prayut Prathetsena, vice-president of the Dharma Army Lawyers Foundation, told Thai PBS that many temples are rich in cash and assets, managed by senior monks.
Monks earn money for leading private Buddhist ceremonies, she explained, and do not pay taxes on their earnings, ‘so their wealth simply accumulates’. Temples receive state funding, and some monks earn fortunes from selling temple amulets.
She explained that ‘it is not unusual for a senior monk to have 50 million baht (£1,147,958) in his personal account’ – in a country where the average wage is around 16,000 baht (£367.35) per month.
‘Neither the donors nor the monks are really at fault. The blame mostly lies with the system,’ Prathetsena told the outlet.
…Consider the following regarding the absurdity and cruelty of Holocaust Denial laws. At the post-WWII Nuremberg Trials, the Soviet delegation was led by Andrey Vyshinsky, the same judge who oversaw Stalin’s bogus ‘Show Trials’ (1936-1938) where defendants, including Lenin’s close friends (Kamenev, Zinoviev, Bukharin and more), were tortured into confessing their guilt, and were then executed.
At the Nuremberg Trials, Vyshinsky’s legal team introduced “evidence” blaming the Germans for the massacre of 20,000+ leading Poles near Katyn and elsewhere, which many at the time, including Churchill, knew had been done by Stalin.
Vyshinsky’s legal team introduced obviously fabricated “evidence,” which can be easily verified in the official trial documentation, and has been gathered by Carlos Porter in his book Made In Russia: The Holocaust.
During that trial, the Soviets claimed that the evil non-homo sapiens maniacal Hitler-Nazis killed people via steam chambers, electrical chambers, atomic bomb-like device, having people climb trees and then cutting them down, a pedal-driven brain bashing machine, and a bone-grinding machine among other absurd-fabricated methods.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990s, the total number of people estimated by the “official” coerced-competition-immune narrative to have been killed in Auschwitz was revised from 4 million to 1.5 million, and soon after to 1.1 million.
All alleged extermination camps have experienced similar large downward revisions. Given the above, and prior to these massive “revisions,” someone doing their moral duty of speaking the truth as they saw it, saying that the 4 million figure was a gross exaggeration, or error, or Soviet-Communist fabrication by Stalin’s legal team at the post-World-War-Two Nuremberg Trials to punish the Germans, would have been erroneously, unjustly vilified, sent to prison, or killed for resisting arrest.
President Donald Trump’s FBI head Kash Patel and deputy Dan Bongino are both ready to call it quits if Attorney General Pam Bondi keeps her job after the debacle over releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files.
Bongino, the agency’s deputy director, made the ultimatum after an epic clash with Bondi on Wednesday over the Justice Department’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, the Daily Mail can reveal.
The rift was so bad that Bongino took the day off work on Friday, leading some to think that he had already left his post, Axios first reported.
And now, an insider at the DOJ tells the Daily Mail that Bongino will quit if Bondi doesn’t step down or get fired.
‘I don’t see a scenario where Dan stays if Bondi remains,’ the insider said.
It all stems from an unsigned memo released on Sunday with DOJ and FBI seals that concluded a review of the files resulted in confirmation that Epstein did not get murdered in prison and that none of the available evidence included a so-called ‘client list.’
When tragedy struck Kerrville, Texas, swift water rescue teams could have made the difference between life and death. But thanks to Austin’s DEI-obsessed Fire Chief, they never got the chance.
Austin Fire Chief Joel Baker, celebrated by city leaders as the capital’s first Black fire chief and praised for pushing “diversity, equity, and inclusion” in hiring, is now facing a vote of no confidence from his own firefighters. And the reason is both infuriating and heartbreaking.
According to the Austin Firefighters Association, Chief Baker refused to pre-deploy rescue teams to Kerrville in the days leading up to the historic flooding—despite official state deployment orders arriving as early as July 2. The excuse? He wanted to “save money.”
But here’s the kicker: Texas fully reimburses departments for these emergency deployments. There would’ve been no cost to Austin taxpayers.
“I explained the reimbursement process to Chief Baker last week,” the union said, “and he failed to understand this very simple concept.”
Vero Beach, Fla. – Utah plastic surgeon Dr. Kirk Moore is facing thirty five years in federal prison for destroying thousands of vials of COVID-19 vaccine, giving his patients vaccine cards without taking the shots, and injecting saline into children whose parents wanted them to believe they got vaccinated without risking the deadly side effects.
Dr. Michael Kirk Moore Jr., 58, who operates his practice Plastic Surgery Institute of Utah, Inc. in Salt Lake County, Utah, begins his trial on Monday, July 7, 2025, at the Orrin G. Hatch U.S. Courthouse, located at 351 S. West Temple, Salt Lake City, Utah.
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has not formally intervened, despite his agency’s Inspector General’s involvement, but did publicly expressed his support in April of this year, saying on his government verified X account, “Dr. Moore deserves a medal for his courage and commitment to healing.”
I cannot find who the speaker is but this is the best short summary of gender dysphoria madness you will hear.
This issue reveals how important uncrossed or uncrossable lines can be in all societies.
The speaker focuses on gay marriage as the line that was crossed at the top of the slippery slope we are still sliding down today.
To be clear, no one especially likes having clear societal lines that cannot be crossed. Those lines are always philosophically and morally weak in many contexts, but removing them makes things even worse.
I personally believe we would be better off if gay marriage had never happened. It is a good example of a line that should not have been crossed.
I am aware of all the reasons in support of gay marriage. But it is also true that by erasing that line we came to allow many thousands of young people to be harmed by extremely deluded if not mentally ill adults.
Gender-affirming care is a truly Orwellian term; evil in its message and even more evil in its preemptive denial of there even being any other possible message. The term is a psycholinguistic torture chamber nightmare.
I hope readers of this site are aware that all psychology, value, philosophy and belief can always be analyzed at the linguistic level because all of it comes from words or ends up with words.
Take anything that bothers you and analyze it at the linguistic level of its psycholinguistic descriptors. Analyze the words. Change the words. Think about them with both psychological and linguistic feeling and you will see what I mean.
Deeply satisfying and beautiful mysteries can be discovered through that method. ABN
The Department of Education announced that the University of Pennsylvania has agreed to resolve Title IX violations related to allowing transgender swimmer Lia Thomas to compete on the women’s team during the 2021-22 season.
As part of the resolution deal, Penn will adopt definitions for male and female consistent with biological sex; restore stolen records and titles to female athletes; and, issue personal apologies to each impacted female swimmer.
One of those swimmers is Paula Scanlan, a teammate of Thomas who has previously expressed the emotional distress she suffered from being forced to change with a biological male in the women’s locker room for an entire season.
Paula Scanlan, former University of Pennsylvania swimmer and teammate of Lia Thomas, testifies during the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Constitution and Limited Government hearing on gender-affirming care for children.
“I am deeply grateful to the Trump administration for standing firm in protecting women and girls and restoring our rightful accolades,” Scanlan told OutKick. “It is because of their strong leadership that my alma mater now knows it has no choice but to begin the process of reforming its policies to uphold women’s rights. Today marks a momentous step toward repairing the past mistreatment of female athletes and forging a future where sex discrimination no longer limits girls’ potential.”
The recent surprise attack by Israel on Iran has created a tumultuous geopolitical landscape, causing significant casualties among Iran’s military and nuclear leadership. This unprecedented strike, which has led to a retaliatory wave of missile attacks from Iran, has also involved the United States, raising alarms about a broader conflict. The nature of this attack—targeting high-profile figures in their own homes—has raised serious questions about international law and the norms governing warfare. The overwhelming media coverage, heavily skewed in favor of Israel, has obscured the violent and illegal nature of these actions, suggesting a troubling narrative control by pro-Israel factions within Western media. Historical parallels are drawn to past incidents, such as the 1967 attack on the USS Liberty, highlighting how media manipulation can alter public perception and political consequences.
The text contends that Israel has positioned itself as a dominant force in state-sponsored assassinations, surpassing historical precedents set by groups like the Order of Assassins. This shift in the practice of political assassinations marks a departure from traditional Western values that have largely deemed such actions as immoral and illegal. The article references past leaders who opposed assassination tactics, such as Adolf Hitler during World War II, emphasizing how the post-9/11 era has seen a significant transformation in the acceptability of targeted killings, especially under the guise of counter-terrorism. The author argues that the normalization of such methods, particularly by Israel and its intelligence agency, Mossad, has led to a dangerous precedent in global politics.
The narrative also examines the complexities of Iran’s foreign relations, specifically its hesitance to align too closely with powers like Russia and China, which may have contributed to its current predicament. The Iranian leadership’s desire for self-reliance and independence has left it vulnerable in the face of Israeli aggression. The sudden political shifts following the suspicious death of Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi further complicate the situation, with his successor, Masoud Pezeshkian, taking a more moderate approach and attempting to mend ties with the West.
Lastly, the article reflects on the implications of Israel’s actions and the potential for increased aggression toward other nations, including hostile rhetoric aimed at Pakistan and Turkey. The author warns that despite Israel’s current military prowess, its reliance on U.S. support could lead to severe consequences for both its own stability and that of the broader Middle Eastern region. The overarching theme suggests that if the dynamics of power shift, particularly regarding public perception and geopolitical alliances, it could lead to a significant backlash against Israel, potentially altering its standing and influence in global affairs. The article concludes with a cautionary note about the fragility of Israel’s power and the potential for historical cycles of change in international relations.
