  • All the pre-election warnings about Trump coming true

    Posted on March 1, 2017 12:02 am by Richard

    This is not meant to be an ‘I told you so’ entry about if Donald Trump is elected President. It is more about what do we do now seeing we did elect him President. Continue reading → Post ID 16220

    Posted on February 21, 2017 12:02 am by Richard

    Having a narcissist leading the country is a new experience for Americans. But in the case of Connecting the Dots we have had years of experience outside of the United States. What that means is we know what to expect and what will likely come next. Continue reading → Post ID 16220

  • That uneasy feeling people have about Donald Trump

    Posted on December 12, 2016 12:02 am by Richard

    It is a bit of deja vu as you have seen this before in movies where something is just not right. It is a common theme in disaster movies and some action movies as well. The only difference is this is real and that gut feeling just does not go away when you step outside. Continue reading → Post ID 16220

  • Coup d’état in Thailand 10 years on

    Posted on September 19, 2016 12:02 am by Richard

    2006 coup

    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.

  • Donald Trump slayer of political correctness Part 10

    Posted on February 29, 2016 12:02 am by Richard

    The ease that Donald Trump eliminated the pack of Republican Presidential contenders is in your face proof that political correctness makes people weak. Each and every one of them fell prey to the piranhas of political correctness and were not able to recover without tossing political correctness to the trash. Donald Trump’s campaign slogan “Make America great again” is simply showing it is not just words, it has substance. Continue reading → Post ID 16220

  • China’s ongoing reaction to Tiananmen Square protest shows fear

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

    1989 is a distant memory for most people. Trying to recall what we did during that year requires some deep thought for most people who were born in 1980 or before. However with China’s over the top reaction when the anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protest comes around, it tends to trigger an instant memory marker reminding people of exactly where they were in 1989 when they heard the news of the protest being violently put down by the Chinese Government.

  • Layers of laws to stop Thaksin Part 1

    Posted on June 2, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    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 16220

  • Thaksin still has not learned the word ‘NO’

    Posted on May 28, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    Despite Thaksin’s influence being removed twice with two separate Coups in Thailand, Thaksin still has not grasped the concept of the word ‘NO’, we won’t let you be a dictator. So with word of Thaksin looking to set up a Government in exile getting ready to give it yet another try, it is clear beyond any level of common sense that only a psychopath would not have learned to give up this quest.

  • 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 16220

  • Thaksin proxy Government criminalizing peaceful fight against corruption

    Posted on January 30, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    The title of this entry says it all loud and clear. Thaksin’s proxy government has set up the conditions to make it a crime to peacefully fight corruption. This type of behavior by a Government is not the signature of democracy, but it is the signature of a dictator. Continue reading → Post ID 16220

  • Thaksin puppet Government struggling to find legitimacy

    Posted on December 16, 2013 12:02 am by Richard

    As it seems a temporary standoff has been reached, The Thai Government has been in a full on damage control drive to recover from their anger driven blunder of openly rejecting a court ruling, then moving to impeach the judges. However the best they seem to be able to do is cause people to roll their eyes when some Government official starts citing comments from other Governments that loosely offer support.

    They march in huge mobs citing Democracy and take a sense of pride in doing so. But they have no problems to attack people who have different political views sending them home bloody and bruised. To them that is what they call democracy, but to most everyone else, it is anything but. Continue reading → Post ID 16220

  • Thaksin not the same as Thais remember

    Posted on December 9, 2013 12:02 am by Richard

    The Thaksin Shinawatra most supporting Thais remember is that of a person who helped them when all others failed. However that was the Thaksin of 2001 to 2004. The Thaksin Shinawatra of today is not the same person, and the only way to get him to show it is to make him angry. So the failure of his let me off the hook Amnesty bill, and being shot down by the Thai Courts for wanting to change the makeup of the Senate has done just that. Continue reading → Post ID 16220
