That uneasy feeling people have about Donald Trump
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 16220

Coup d’état in Thailand 10 years on
It was perhaps the most real-time documented Coup d’état in history. Hundreds of ex-pats were posting on a popular internet forum what was going on outside there window, and the server was swamped.

Donald Trump’s campaign slogan “Make America great again” is simply showing it is not just words, it has substance. Continue reading Post ID 16220

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.

Layers of laws to stop Thaksin Part 1
There are not that many people in the world who can motivate the creation of laws. Each law that is considered has an underlying goal of stopping bad and promoting good, and the laws often deal with events that could be avoided or limited. But to have laws designed to stop a specific person’s self serving ambition at the expense of all others, says a lot about the person they are trying to stop. Continue reading Post ID 16220

Thaksin still has not learned the word ‘NO’
Despite Thaksin’s influence being removed twice with two separate Coups in Thailand, Thaksin still has not grasped the concept of the word ‘NO’, we won’t let you be a dictator. So with word of Thaksin looking to set up a Government in exile getting ready to give it yet another try, it is clear beyond any level of common sense that only a psychopath would not have learned to give up this quest.

Thaksin puppet Government struggling to find legitimacy
As it seems a temporary standoff has been reached, The Thai Government has been in a full on damage control drive to recover from their anger driven blunder of openly rejecting a court ruling, then moving to impeach the judges. However the best they seem to be able to do is cause people to roll their eyes when some Government official starts citing comments from other Governments that loosely offer support.

Thaksin not the same as Thais remember
The Thaksin Shinawatra most supporting Thais remember is that of a person who helped them when all others failed. However that was the Thaksin of 2001 to 2004. The Thaksin Shinawatra of today is not the same person, and the only way to get him to show it is to make him angry. So the failure of his let me off the hook Amnesty bill, and being shot down by the Thai Courts for wanting to change the makeup of the Senate has done just that. Continue reading Post ID 16220
