It is a bit of deja vu as you have seen this before in movies where something is just not right. It is a common theme in disaster movies and some action movies as well. The only difference is this is real and that gut feeling just does not go away when you step outside. Continue reading Post ID 16008

Internet censorship laws are all about protecting criminals in power
The title of this entry is completely self-explanatory and requires little deep thinking to see the dots. The arguments for internet censorship by corrupt governments are on par with excuses smokers make to keep smoking. Continue reading Post ID 16008

Thai Junta vs Human Nature
When the Thai military staged a Coup in 2014, they enjoyed nearly 70% support from Thais because they were doing something that was seen as positive for Thailand. But now it seems they may be expanding their agenda and based on what that agenda is, they risk having the entire population turning on them as well as giving Thaksin ammunition to stage a comeback.

China’s ongoing reaction to Tiananmen Square protest shows fear
1989 is a distant memory for most people. Trying to recall what we did during that year requires some deep thought for most people who were born in 1980 or before. However with China’s over the top reaction when the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest comes around, it tends to trigger an instant memory marker reminding people of exactly where they were in 1989 when they heard the news of the protest being violently put down by the Chinese Government.

Keeping up with the neighbors Chinese style
China’s one child policy has been around for a long time. The reasons for it were generally understood that there were simply too many people in China to feed. But now with India looking to soon overtake China as the most populous country in the world, there may be other reasons for ending the one child policy. Continue reading Post ID 16008

Climate change deniers
Listening to the die hard group of people who deny climate change is happening, is starting to sound like smokers trying to justify smoking. The absurdity of their logic and the extremes cited is worthy of mention, so we decided to have a go at it. Continue reading Post ID 16008

Global economic four year stall
Some may not notice the four year economic cycle that involves a lot of anxiety and breath holding. None the less it is there and when it comes around, wallets close and all eyes are on the future horizon waiting for the ten or so words that says it is over. Continue reading Post ID 16008

Super cyber crime laws
Unless you have been hiding in a box for the past 5 to 10 years, you would have noticed the gradual increase in laws that are meant to stop cyber crime. However the general wording of those laws also allows the suppression of free speech. It is this infringement on voices that has people up in arms. Continue reading Post ID 16008

Freedom of expression vs Islam
When you come right down to it cutting past all the concern about creating more Muslim riots, it seems the Muslim tabu of not talking about The Prophet Mohammad in any negative light or even depicting images of him has come head to head with other views and opinions taken straight out of the Koran. Being able to express those views and opinions is what this entry is all about. Continue reading Post ID 16008

The ill mind of a confessed pedophile on the run
For the most part it is a rare public display that a pedophile will announce in anyway that they prey on young people for sexual gratification. It is even more rare that a pedophile with an arrest warrant from Thailand and is presently on the run and hiding in China would not keep his head down and try to be out of sight. But apparently his mental illness is so severe another obsession seems to be overriding his survival instincts and he is doing his best to satisfy that obsession. Continue reading Post ID 16008

A pound of cure
With killer tornados falling from the sky in the US at record numbers, one can not help but wonder if this is not the result of climate change and the new norm of our now angry planet. With hundreds dead in this one outbreak alone, we are truly starting to see natures signature method of restoring balance to what we humans have set so far off. Continue reading Post ID 16008

The Internet: political power to fear
A lot has happened so far in 2011, and most of what is in the news was lit from a spark from the Internet. So to say an entirely new political landscape has been born seems to be the understatement of the century. Continue reading Post ID 16008
