  • 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.

  • Thailand’s evolved Red Shirts Part 5

    Posted on March 18, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    Once the Government’s rice pledging scheme started to fall apart, the Red Shirts showed yet another side of themselves. That new side was to attack rice farmers that were once Red Shirt and Government supporters that had switched sides and became untrusting and anti Government. The reason for the switch was because they were not paid by the Government and now were flat broke and destitute. The Red Shirts did not care that the rice farmers were victims of the Government’s corruption, they simply victimized them again for abandoning support for the Government.

  • Yingluck next victim of Thaksin

    Posted on February 27, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    With Thaksin Shinawatra, people regularly take a fall for him while he manages to stay clear and free of direct involvement. It does not matter who it is as Thaksin just uses them for his own personal gain. Once they are used up, he simply finds someone new and it does not matter if it is a sibling or not.

  • Glutton Thai Government concerned about snap election repeat

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

    Glutton GovernmentThaksin’s proxy Government is showing increasing signs of concern about getting reelected if the February 2, 2014 elections are nullified. The situation and their popularity is deteriorating so quickly in their voter base, the chances of winning a majority are increasingly unlikely. Continue reading → Post ID 14901

  • Thaksin proxy Government risks biting the hand that feeds

    Posted on February 10, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    It seems that when a populist policy goes bad, the damage to the Government is in direct per portion to the money involved. So in the case where 130 Billion Baht (4.3 Billion USD) is involved, it stings a lot. In this case the demographic population of Thailand that elected the Pro-Thaksin government is now a major victim of Thaksin sponsored corruption, and because of that their eyes have been opened by their empty wallets and their empty stomachs.

  • Thaksin bleeding Red Shirt support

    Posted on January 17, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    When the Red Shirt leaders called a Red Shirt rally in the past, pulling together numbers was not an issue. They flocked by the thousands to the rally site and did not show any wavering in support of Thaksin. But now it seems those days are gone and by Thaksin’s own hand. Continue reading → Post ID 14901

    Posted on December 21, 2012 12:02 am by Richard

    There is little doubt the rice pledging scheme hatch by Thaksin is now starting to become a nightmare for him. No matter how you cook this rice, for Thaksin it has become a catch 22. Continue reading → Post ID 14901
