  • Thai Government nearing Checkmate

    Posted on May 21, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    The pro-Thaksin Thai Government is nearing checkmate as it struggles to survive. They have taken some serious political blows as a result of their Thaksin serving behavior. But now it all seems to come down to answering one question. If the answer is ‘YES’ the game goes on. If the answer is ‘NO’, then it is checkmate and this particular game is over.

  • Unbalanced stand-off with Thaksin Shinawatra

    Posted on May 13, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    As Thailand’s political unrest continues, the financial pain continues to grow as Thailand’s economy moves from the plus to the minus column. This unfortunately plays into Thaksin’s hands as shortly after the 2006 coup, Thaksin announced he would squeeze Thailand into submissiveness by using this exact same method.

  • Pheu Thai Party starts blame game

    Posted on March 26, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    When someone gives you advise and you don’t take it, and an ‘I told you so’ situation is created, blaming the person who gave you the advise is totally absurd. But apparently the Pheu Thai Party (PTP) does not see it that way, and they look to place the full blame for failure on the very people that advised against proceeding.

  • Thai Government selectively ignoring Constitution

    Posted on February 25, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    In order to force their way back into office with a potentially fatally wounded election, Thaksin’s proxy Government is selectively ignoring and selectively enforcing constitutional laws to make that happen. However this is nothing new as that simply is another one of Thaksin’s signatures. Continue reading → Post ID 14997

  • Thaksin proxy Government crumbling

    Posted on February 11, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    It is fairly clear to any casual onlooker that the Thai Government is in trouble. The behaviors seen are consistent with other Governments just before they collapsed. The behaviors include blatant and obvious lies and what appears to be fighting over scraps in an effort to hold on to it’s last bit of dignity. Continue reading → Post ID 14997

  • Thai Election Commission withholding elections

    Posted on February 6, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    Thailand’s Election Commission (EC) has made it loud and clear that the elections will not continue until disputes between the Thaksin proxy Government and the Anti-Thaksin protesters are resolved. This new twist may force Thaksin out of power as it looks to become a test of wills. Continue reading → Post ID 14997

  • Thaksin’s two hit approach on elections

    Posted on January 23, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    With the numbers simply not there to create a new Thai Government in the potential February 2 elections, one has to think like Thaksin to understand his logic. He is simply thinking that many times if not always it takes more than one hit of a hammer to drive a nail. It is clear Thaksin is hoping for a second election to top off Parliament’s head count.

  • US Presidential election common sense prevailed

    Posted on November 9, 2012 12:03 am by Richard

    In the 2012 US general election that selected the next President for the next four years, the real winner was never named at any point along the way. The winner was not selected by popularity or policy, the winner was simply selected by common sense. Continue reading → Post ID 14997
