  • Mention Thaksin and anxiety spikes

    Posted on January 4, 2016 12:02 am by Richard

    Despite all the efforts to bring calm to Thailand’s political conflict, just the mention of Thaksin Shinawatra and anxiety levels spike. Unfortunately that means that despite all the efforts to bring a lasting political calm, this anxiety reaction means that whatever calm is being seen is not genuine, and political unrest is only being repressed.

  • Thailand’s undoable amnesty bomb

    Posted on January 2, 2015 12:02 am by Richard

    If there is any one topic that will quickly bring the masses of angry people back into the streets, it is the proposed amnesty for people caught up in Thailand’s political turmoil. It clearly is a topic as controversial as Thaksin Shinawatra simply because the root cause of Thailand’s political turmoil is Thaksin Shinawatra himself. Continue reading → Post ID 15488

  • Thaksin spin doctors at work

    Posted on December 29, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    It does not take much to spot the work of Thaksin’s spin doctors. The easiest way to spot them is what they say goes opposite of what the public opinion polls are showing. With about 80% of all Thais in support of the efforts of the interim Government, seeing someone bad mouth them is like finding a lemon in a box of chocolates. Continue reading → Post ID 15488

  • Thailand’s Martial law keeps Thaksin in check

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

    More than 4 months after the May 2014 coup, you may expect some easing of military muscle as Thailand trends back towards democracy. But to many Thais, they recognize that Martial law for now is the best option to let Thailand heal simply because corrupt Thais don’t want to see the end of the status quo. To let the anti-corruption laws and procedures come into effect without sabotage is the quickest and best road for Thailand.

  • Thailand greatly improved with Junta rule

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

    The title of this entry can be a bit deceiving and easily seen as being pro-Junta. However the fact of the matter is the Government the Junta unseated was doing such a bad job, that most anyone who has a good level of competence and basic common sense could have done better than the pro-Thaksin Government they unseated.

    Posted on May 15, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    Once again the confused wisdom of the Red Shirts is worth making mention of. Not so much because of its total absurdity, but more about that it seems to be they have hit their intellectual limit. Continue reading → Post ID 15488

  • 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.

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

    After the pro Thaksin Pheu Thai Party (PTP) came to power, some Red Shirt leaders were rewarded with positions of power in the Government. It did not take long to see that the original political ideology the Red Shirts had at their beginning had completely morphed into cronyism. Continue reading → Post ID 15488

  • Thai Red Shirt frenzy overstepping

    Posted on March 5, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    In Thailand the Red Shirts have a fairly bad record when it comes to staying inside the law as well as ethical behavior. From time to time the mob mentality gets the best of them and they end up breaking major laws. Some of the laws that they break even come with the death penalty, and that seems to be the case once again. Continue reading → Post ID 15488

  • 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 15488

  • Linking Anti-Government rally attacks to Thaksin

    Posted on February 24, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    The psychology of the behavior of the attacks on Anti-Thaksin protesters is all too predictable to anyone that has the most basic understanding of psychology. Because the level of attacks is directly related to Government attack through the State of Emergency, it simply says the attack orders are coming from the same source.

    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 15488
