Asia's Meth Wars: Speed and brutality in Myanmar’s borderlands
 

(Find the full investigative series here: globalpost.com/asias-meth-wars)

Methamphetamine has become Asia's drug of choice. From Bangkok to Manila, these little pink pills are destroying countless lives across the region.

Most of it is produced in the lawless borderlands of Myanmar.

GlobalPost traveled to the heart of the meth trade, Myanmar's northern frontier, where narco-militias crank out speed pills with impunity. Our investigation there uncovered a startling truth: The government of Myanmar, recently emerging from decades of global isolation, supports and profits from this billion-dollar business.

In the borderlands, meth is so cheap and pervasive that the region suffers from one of the highest addiction rates in the world. The situation is so bleak that churchgoers fight a vigilante war their government won't.

Even anti-drug units in neighboring Thailand, armed and trained by the United States, struggle to fend off Myanmar's narco-armies.

In this jungle frontier, the flood of drugs is unstoppable. GlobalPost's short documentary takes you to the front lines of Asia's meth wars.

medetation is very powerful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VaMjhwFE1Zw&feature=youtu.be&app=desktop

 

I have read his book on this technique called the "Wim Hof method". I am trying this technique, a slight modification of the "Tummo meditation" technique from Tibet. 

 

So far I have seen great results, great tolerance to cold and don't need a thick jacket anymore. Another thing to add to this regimen is to start taking very cold showers first thing in the morning. More energizing than any cup of coffee. Cold showers improve texture of the skin and hair as well.

The Power of Nightmares, subtitled The Rise of the Politics of Fear, is a BBC documentary film series, written and produced by Adam Curtis. Its three one-hour parts consist mostly of a montage of archive footage with Curtis's narration. The series was first broadcast in the United Kingdom in late 2004 and has subsequently been broadcast in multiple countries and shown in several film festivals, including the 2005 Cannes Film Festival. 

The films compare the rise of the Neo-Conservative movement in the United States and the radical Islamist movement, making comparisons on their origins and claiming similarities between the two. More controversially, it argues that the threat of radical Islamism as a massive, sinister organised force of destruction, specifically in the form of al-Qaeda, is a myth perpetrated by politicians in many countries—and particularly American Neo-Conservatives—in an attempt to unite and inspire their people following the failure of earlier, more utopian ideologies. 

The Power of Nightmares has been praised by film critics in both Britain and the United States. Its message and content have also been the subject of various critiques and criticisms from conservatives and progressives.
