David Reich on how much ancient DNA evidence has overturned so much consensus thinking how ancient cultures spread.
"It wasn't peaceful, it wasn't friendly, it wasn't nice.
Some of our archaeologist co-authors were just really distressed."
From revisionist colonial master to postwar propagandising governing neighbour to brainwashing rat dynastic dictator.
One could only imagine the level of indoctrination. Not a propaganda-free moment for centuries nor an experience of democracy.
Why insist with the democracy label when using it like North Korea? The hermit kingdom didn't fear trade bans, why does the mafia state?
Leverages the lack of sanctions to process illicit funds on a scale North Korea could only dream of—easy mode for the mafia state where boundaries between government, business and organised crime are nonexistent.
@jacobincambodia The more the merrier. Anything of use becoms PR material when the bosses are at risk & sanctions are at the front door.
Gov leads the response cycle: denial(2022), deflect(2023), direct(2025); while the rest catch up with the path laid.

Chimpanzees fling feces as a form of communication—albeit a disgusting one—to provoke reactions from observers and keep visitors away. Researchers reveal the chimp is sending a clear message.
Cambodia's scam industry worth ~$12.5-29 billion annually or up to 60% of GDP, is a financial incentive that is "too big to fail" for the ruling elite, leading to selective & politically motivated performative enforcement.
As @amnesty & @UNODC pointed out before—chimps flinging feces at the international community is just an act—no accountability, no justice, mostly just to distract.
@CyberScamWatch Some are butthurt from their gov's deception. Official stance of denial(2022), defensive(2023) to performative(2025-) high vis. raids for show—gotta act like working or else the stick(sanctions).
While the gov. deceives—online presence is of the gov's stance 4 years back—denial.

Google’s $1B TalayLink subsea cable is confirmed: a direct, low-latency digital bridge connecting Thailand to Australia. It routes west via the Indian Ocean, bypassing Malacca/Sunda congestion and integrating Thailand to the global grid reaching as far as East Africa.
With Google Cloud Region now live, Thailand's digital sovereignty & infrastructure provides the resilience needed to anchor a new industrial smart hub. This digital foundation propagates the Land Bridge project forward, fundamentally reshaping Thailand's regional strategic importance & its geopolitical position on the world stage.
As each part aligns, they will revolutionise domestic industries, attracting capacity expansion & massive vertical integration. The synergy of these strategic pillars sets the scene for the next regional entrepôt—an indispensable gateway of the Indo-Pacific. 🇹🇭 #Thailand #TalayLink #Australia #GoogleCloud #IndoPacific #Logistics #SupplyChain #Geopolitics
NBTC clears landing for Google’s TalayLink cable project
The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) has approved a request to install a subsea cable landing for the TalayLink project, a regional digital infrastructure initiative backed by Google Cloud under Alphabet.
The project, developed in partnership with International Gateway, involves laying more than 300 kilometres of submarine cable conduit containing 11 fibre lines through Thai waters, with a landing point in Thailand and a connection to Christmas Island.
First announced in 2025, TalayLink is designed to create a new international data route between Thailand and Australia via the Indian Ocean, helping to reduce congestion on existing pathways and improve network resilience. Google says the system will enhance the speed, reliability and redundancy of digital connectivity across Asia-Pacific while directly linking Thailand’s future data centres to its global cloud infrastructure.
Officials said the approval marks a key regulatory step in advancing the project, as Thailand seeks to strengthen its international connectivity, which still relies heavily on land-based links routed through Singapore.
TalayLink is one of several new subsea cable systems expected to come online around 2026 and will support Google’s broader investment of about 30 billion baht to establish a cloud “region” in Thailand. The TalayLink cable itself does not have a separately disclosed value, but forms part of this wider investment package covering data centres, cloud infrastructure and regional connectivity.
The wider initiative also includes new connectivity hubs in Western Australia and southern Thailand, aimed at boosting regional network resilience and supporting growth in cloud computing, artificial intelligence and the digital economy.

@Globalstats11 Scambodia—scam-state where ~1% of the population are trafficked slaves and scams account for ~40% of GDP ($19B), of which ~$10B comes from the US.
Basically ~21% of GDP scammed from the US.
@TT_XRP@anna_nunaa Host temporary airbase ≠ helped the US bomb
Allies were formed in the Korean war. Hosting them later is only valid. Your chosen "allies" are communists so get bombed for them.
Victim mindset made you retarded, digging up unrelated past.
Today, Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned Cambodian senator Kok An—who controls a network of compounds in his country that target Americans with digital asset scams—along with 28 affiliated individuals and entities. https://t.co/1NbnOEyXVx
Reading strategic-level temporal shifts from the surface is like asking the blind for the way.
The rationale has always been clear—the paper trail of several hundred of formal protests spanning decades reveals a self-chosen path of violation and encroachment.
Accepting the consequences of karma is what Buddhists understand—yet such whining signals the loss of touch with dhamma.
If a year of claimed patience makes a Buddha, then Thailand's restraint amid such imbalance must be samsara itself.
When a report comes out against the accountability-deflected state-endorsed annual digital theft of billions from the US, it's their neighbour's sway.
Nothing of the hundreds of thousands(1%-population) from around the globe, tortured, raped, killed, forced to criminality slavery nor the citizenship/passports gifted to syndicate bosses.
The official response is Denial(2022) to Defensive(2023) to Performative Action(2025) and only sincere on the account of the stick(sanctions).
@ChannaSovann@WSJ A well-deserved exonym. Same whataboutism gov. used for half decade—denial, deflect, distract and shift blame—prolong the scam game.
The scale of abuse & theft on par with North Korea—billions of dollars globally by hundreds of thousands enslaved locally—yet others' blame here.
@ChannaSovann@WSJ That small group represents your country whether you like it or not—it has nothing to do with crime elsewhere.
Don't drag others down just because you refuse to accept the truth—that' is insulting, disrespectful and unfair.
Cybercrime syndicates operating in Cambodia have corrupted officials, enslaved workers, stolen billions and built scam compounds the size of small towns. No wonder it’s known as ”Scambodia.” https://t.co/y8taw9ZZYg
@ChannaSovann@WSJ Damn... 16 million with a trafficked/enslavement count of up to 1% of the population. Impressive stats.
Could only dream that victims receiving unfair treatment—ending up dead, tortured or traumatised for life while officials look away could ever get any justice or redemption.
To Khmers that say they were here first:
I applied a spatio-temporal Inverse Stratification Model—synthesising High-Coverage Whole-Genome Sequencing data with phased local ancestry inference, anchored to stratified archaeological horizons—the model reveals:
@FactPulseKH To be fair to archeological and genomic evidence while busting nationalist myth, please observe the truth derived directly from research data—"whose ancestors came first?"
Feel free to check it, it's only the reality.
