  • Thaksin proxy Government trying to justify State of Emergency

    Posted on January 28, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    In what is looking more and more like a completely staged situation, Thaksin’s proxy Government is doing it’s best to convince people the peaceful Thai protesters are violent. Adding to that the strong evidence the violence was sanctioned by Thaksin to justify calling a State of Emergency, you begin to see another one of Thaksin’s signature moves of creating a condition to justify the means.

    Posted on May 22, 2012 6:01 am by Richard

    The title of this entry could either be both phrased as a question or a statement. But when you start to look at it more carefully, it looks more and more like a statement as certain behavior traits are repeating, and the last go around lead to a military coup that ousted Thaksin.

  • Thailand’s fear of 3

    Posted on April 26, 2011 12:01 am by Richard

    If you take a look at the assorted border conflicts between Cambodia and Thailand over the past few years, you will start to notice a pattern emerging. Thailand desperately wants to keep others out of the process of finding and answer, and Cambodia has made several attempts to get third parties involved. When you stop and think about that alone, it most certainly seems Cambodia feels they are right, and at the same time it seems Thailand feels that they are wrong. Continue reading → Post ID 14672

    Posted on February 3, 2011 12:01 am by Richard

    The dots are just too suggestive for this to be anything else. The long prison term in Cambodia for two of Thaksin’s major foes just does not make sense when you step back and look at the big picture. Continue reading → Post ID 14672

  • Thai yellow shirts lose strength on other agenda

    Posted on January 28, 2011 12:02 am by Richard

    The People’s Alliance for Democracy (PAD) had significant strength when going after Thaksin Shinawatra. They successfully achieved their goals with leverage to spare. But now it seems that when a new target is in their sights, the number of supporters dwindles. Continue reading → Post ID 14672

  • Crossing the line

    Posted on January 23, 2011 12:03 am by Richard

    It is all too often that we hear in the news that some person or persons accidentally crossed an unmarked border between two countries. This in many cases results in arrests and lots of unneeded political headaches on both sides of the border. So now that G.P.S. technology is so available and standard in many mobile phones, it seems to make sense that this technology be used to avoid problems in the future.

  • The climate change charity tipping point

    Posted on November 8, 2010 12:03 am by Richard

    Every time there is a disaster on the planet, people who have the means to help out find it in their hearts to help out in whatever way they can. When those occasional disasters like an earthquake or flood happen, their hearts simply say it is the right thing to do. What this entry talks about is what will happen when those occasional disasters become regular. Continue reading → Post ID 14672

  • Hunting for Red Shirts in October

    Posted on November 1, 2010 12:02 am by Richard

    For what it is worth, it is a bit difficult to assess the sincerity of Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen when it comes to hunting down Red Shirt fugitives in Cambodia. There clearly is a significant double edge sword in this, and no matter what way Hun Sen moves, they eyes of the world will be watching. Continue reading → Post ID 14672

  • The Thaksin quits Cambodia ruse

    Posted on October 14, 2010 12:00 am by Richard

    The more you read the news of recent days, the more you can not help but wonder if Thaksin’s parting of ways with Cambodia was just a tactical move. With suddenly growing tension between Thailand and Cambodia over the alleged training of Thai assassins on Cambodian soil, one can not help but sit back and ask if Thaksin pulled a fast one on Prime Minister Abhisit.

    Posted on August 14, 2010 12:01 am by Richard

    There have been enough dots created over the past year to provide some insight on the border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand around the Preah Vihear temple. Looking at what is being gestured and what is being said tends to reflect personality traits common in Thais and Cambodians. Those dots suggest one side already knows they are wrong.

  • Thaksin’s score Part 3

    Posted on July 23, 2010 12:02 am by Richard

    As the Thaksin on the run saga continues and he wears out his welcome country after country, his world is getting smaller and smaller. It would seem that countries that have a low number Thaksin is banned from entry. The ones he manages to sneak into quickly toss him out or encourage him to leave by not allowing him to launch political attacks from their soil. Sooner or later he may end up in Haiti as they could use his money big time. Continue reading → Post ID 14672

    So as Thaksin’s globe hopping continues, you begin to see some interesting patterns shaping up. He has no place he can call home, and where he stays he is constantly looking over his shoulder as well as having a huge negative cash flow to buy that stay out of jail insurance.

But no matter how you look at it, this is a fun read that cuts past his attempted self image. Continue reading → Post ID 14672

  • Will the Thai governments reverse their anti foreigner trend or not?

    Posted on June 14, 2010 12:01 am by Richard

    Over the past 4 years or so the Thai governments in power have made it progressively more difficult for non Thais to live in Thailand. Although they embrace tourists, they have hurt the parts of the general economy that are not tourist related. Viewing the state of the Thai economy that has been in general decline over the same period of time, the big question is will the Thai government undo some of the self inflicted wounds and make it easier for non Thais to call Thailand home.
