The dots leading to Donald Trump becoming President started long before he announced he was running for the office in June 2015. In fact we could say his actual journey started in Late August 2008, although he had no idea at the time as he was not directly involved. Continue reading Post ID 15991

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. The one thing that was noticed was the Thai People were all for the military intervention, and fear was replaced with sighs of relief and celebration in the coming days.

Republican Party establishment’s behavior fueling Donald Trump
Arrogant, self-serving and out of touch are all things that accurately describe the elite of the Republican Party. It is the same behavior that caused congress to stall, and it is the same behavior that is fueling the desire to find a presidential candidate from outside of the Republican establishment’s box.

Fractures in pro-Thaksin camp showing
Leading up to and after former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s impeachment, signs of fractures were becoming very obvious. To the trained eye, Thaksin Shinawatra either can not or will not keep his supporters on the same page and singing the same song. If the fractures are this obvious to the media, what is really going on behind close doors must be Thai drama at it’s finest. Continue reading Post ID 15991

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 15991

The political educating of rural Thailand
It was not that long ago that the people of rural northeast Thailand felt that the political happenings in Bangkok were worlds away and really made no difference in their simple but poor lifestyle. That was then, but now those simple but poor Thai people have learned the hard way of what happens when you embrace highly corrupt politicians as saviors. Continue reading Post ID 15991

Thaksin proxy Government risks biting the hand that feeds
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.

Angry Thaksin seeks Democrats
It has been a bad few days for Thaksin Shinawatra no doubt. After grossly misreading the Thai people who unlike him still feel the law is something to be obeyed and punishment needs to be properly handed out, Thaksin experienced a reality check that he does not like. Even trying a bait and switch tactic with an amnesty bill was shot down wholesale by the Thai Senate. So there is little doubt the Thaksin favoring Department of Special Investigation(DSI) is looking to target the leaders of the rally that united the Thai people overnight against the amnesty bill.
