Nate Thayer on go fund me
One would think he would have been better prepared but>>>
https://www.gofundme.com/f/dqbmr5-nate- ... pport-fundSome of you may know Nate Thayer, the legendary daredevil journalist of the renowned “Far Eastern Economic Review.” Nate’s 1997 interview of Pol Pot gave the Cambodia Khmer Rouge butcher his deserved death knell — it was journalism at its best, and at its most dangerous, while serving humanity at large. With characteristic courage, Nate has interviewed other dangerous villains over the years, exposing them to public scrutiny.
Now Nate Thayer, who is facing critical health issues and possible homelessness, is in a bad way.
“My health is not so good these days. I can't walk anymore. My argument with that Chinese anti-tank mine has come back to bite me in the butt. I had major surgery on my foot early this year and sepsis infection spread throughout my body. I've two heart attacks and two strokes and the Dr's say I will never walk again, at least as I defined walking.”
“It is OK. I am fond of my feet. They have tolerated a lot over the last 62 years, but they want to lop off the right one.”
He has had Covid twice. He is about to be homeless in about a week. He knows he isn’t long for this world, but he has absolutely no self pity — some of the old Nate…
The least we could do is not let him die on the streets…
In a nation run by swine, all pigs are upward-mobile and the rest of us are fucked until we can put our acts together: not necessarily to win, but mainly to keep from losing completely. HST

All:
One of Nate's friends who has been taking care of his dog reached out and gave me an update. Nate has been in the hospital since late Sunday, which is the second time in a week. He is okay for the moment, but very sedated. Please keep him in your thoughts.
Warmest,
James

Got a great update about Nate this morning. He has used your generous donations to pay all of his back rent and bills, and even pay his rent forward through the end of the calendar year. Now that is stabilized and he can focus on his health. He has a long overdue medical appointment this afternoon. If I get any more releasable info I will pass it along. He wants everyone to know that he deeply appreciates your generosity in his time of need.

Nate has successfully added his bank info to the site and over $26K has been successfully transferred to help him avoid eviction and cover his expenses. Thanks to everyone who has donated! Warmest, James

Despite what angsta states, it’s clear from reading through his posts that angsta supports the free FreePalestine movement.

It's just some sort of fan art he was sent. Pretty funny.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Pol Pot looks like Kim Jong Ill from Team America.

Re: Nate Thayer on go fund me
You're exactly the same on Facebook as well. Doesn't matter if someone has had something stolen from them, someone has died, someone asking for a tip etc, you have to chime in with some bitchy, snarky, snide comment every time.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Wed Sep 14, 2022 7:18 pm One would think he would have been better prepared but>>
If you enjoy noise pollution and obnoxious driving practices, Phnom Penh is the place for you!

It's from a photo by Elizabeth Becker. They don't look all that alike except for the Zhongshan - style suits.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I prefer that to the Beijing bikini.
