It is that time of year again to take a look back at what happened and who was effected most by what. Unfortunately much of what happened in 2010 will be repeated in the future. Continue reading Post ID 11492

What Thaksin must be thinking about WikiLeaks
Being a bad guy and spending a lot of money everyday to look like a good guy can be a real drain on a wallet. But when WikiLeaks discloses what respected and influential people have to say about bad guys, it most certainly can throw a wrench into the works and make a lot of that make me look good money go to waste in the blink of an eye. Continue reading Post ID 11492

WikiLeaks good or bad Part 7
When looking at the general content of the leaked cables it would seem that various governments claims of transparency are in fact frosted windows. There is deception after deception being uncovered. Certainly some of the information being disclosed by WikiLeaks will have a variety of effects with some being good and some being bad. Continue reading Post ID 11492

What we meant was (WikiLeaks damage control)
If you have time to sit down and read the original WikiLeaks release, and then listen to others trying to tell you what you are reading, you may start to wonder about the reading comprehension skills of the person who is trying to give their opinion. So it is easy to see that losing the real information in dozens of twists and turns and stories that have little to do with the facts is the name of the game. Continue reading Post ID 11492

The Thaksin if then dots
Thanks to WikiLeaks, what was only assumed is now out in the open. That in turn provides a whole bunch of new not so far fetched predictions about what will happen if certain political makeups happen in Thailand. Continue reading Post ID 11492

WikiLeaks good or bad Part 6
When we hear about the US military blocking access to WikiLeaks so that military personnel can not read it, the first and most obvious question one would ask is why. These are the people in harms way and one would naturally think that the more you know the safer you are. Continue reading Post ID 11492

The WikiLeaks espionage legal dilemma
Unfortunately for the US finding some legal means to take out WikiLeaks is for the most part an impossible task. Attempting to use some sort of espionage legislation is likely to fall flat on its face for a variety of reasons. Continue reading Post ID 11492

WikiLeaks speaks about Anti Royal Thaksin
It seems sooner or later everyone that is anyone will be mentioned in the WikiLeaks releases. That list includes friend and foe alike. So when it comes to Thaksin cronies and particularly the more vocal ones like Samak Sundaravej in the capacity of puppet Prime Minister, it becomes very clear where Thaksin stood. It would seem that WikiLeaks has removed any lingering doubt about Thaksin’s Anti Monarchy stance by providing all the necessary dots all in one place. Continue reading Post ID 11492

Wikileaks good or bad Part 5
With just the smallest fraction of what WikiLeaks has to release out for public display, the fallout is enormous by all accounts. With government after government condemning the leaks, it is a bit amusing that they are not condemning the content. Continue reading Post ID 11492

Cyber call to arms
In yet more fallout from the WikiLeaks issue, apparently hackers have taken sides with WikiLeaks and ultimately the global media. Websites that have apparently caved in to political pressure to choke off WikiLeaks are now under cyber attack. Continue reading Post ID 11492

WikiLeaks good or bad Part 4
It seems to be coming down to morals, ethics, and a bunch of other basic core values about WikiLeaks. With the US doing its level best to make it not look like they are doing anything other than complain, this unfolding saga now qualifies for popcorn as the entire wired world watches. Continue reading Post ID 11492

Afghanistan – The unreachable goal
Thanks to WikiLeaks, the true colors of Afghanistan are now showing. What the leaked documents show is that very clearly US political ambitions of a military pullout are only paper dreams that will take a decade or more to be realized. Continue reading Post ID 11492

WikiLeaks good or bad Part 3
As the full frontal nudity of the US continues, the US government is trying hard to find some law that applies to charge WikiLeaks with. However even with the eyes of the average Joe, finding some law that applies is a difficult task. Continue reading Post ID 11492

WikiLeaks good or bad Part 2
As we continue to look at what can be defined as full frontal nudity of the US Government, it is difficult to keep from wondering what the eventual fallout will be. When there are candid conversations with the US government and government ‘x’ about government ‘y’ being exposed, the possibility of increased tension between ‘x’ and ‘y’ is a genuine reality. On the other hand it also may be seen as a call to get your head out of your ass for government ‘y’! Continue reading Post ID 11492
