Thaksin attacks justice

For Thaksin to go after people who get in his way is nothing new. He has been up to this for as long as anyone can remember. But to openly go after the nine judges that handed down his most recent guilty verdict has the distinct echo of how drug Cartels intimidate to stay in power. [Read more →]

For the convicted fugitive Thaksin Shinawatra, judgment day has come and gone. In the wake of the court ruling Thaksin has concluded the court robbed him of the money he stole, and he now looks to get it back.

Thaksin attacks with laws he ignores

In more classic Thaksin style, the basis of the latest rounds of Red Shirt rallies have been to scrutinize the law to the letter for all of Thaksin’s enemies. However for Thaksin as far has he is concerned the laws simply do not apply to a person of his stature. [Read more →]

Thaksin’s asset case a layman view Part 2

Continued from part 1; As Joe continued to observe Thaksin making decisions that seemed to not make sense, he started to note a clear resentment towards Thaksin. If you were not one of Thaksin’s cronies, your worth was simply less than dirt as Thaksin could care less about you.

Pre verdict actions by Red Shirts suggest Thaksin’s guilt

For people to make threats against others suggests they know they are in the wrong. For people to make threats against someone else for a third person suggests they will have something to loose from that third person, and money is the most likely thing to be lost. [Read more →]

Thai hot potatoes

It can be amusing to watch how hot potatoes are handled in Thailand. When someone who is influential gets called onto the carpet, things tend to go fast. But when the time comes to render judgment be it penalty or getting cut loose, things come to a crawl and it is like being in a hurry while walking behind a fat woman who is shopping. [Read more →]

Dancing with the devil Hun Sen style

Connecting the Dots has for a long time coined the phrase ‘Dance with the devil’ when we make reference to people interacting with Thaksin Shinawatra. So far we have never seen an instance where the person dancing with the devil was undamaged. With that observation we are already seeing damage to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, and the dance is just starting. The one thing that differs with this dance is when Hun Sen dances with the devil, so does all of Cambodia. [Read more →]

Thaksin plans battle posture

After seeing the news reports that matched Connecting the Dots earlier predictions, it is now obvious the intent of the Red shirt rallies is to cause violence and chaos and not to protest. This has nothing at all to do with democracy or politics and everything to do with treason. [Read more →]
