In what is looking more and more like a completely staged situation, Thaksin’s proxy Government is doing it’s best to convince people the peaceful Thai protesters are violent.

Thailand desperately wants to keep others out of the process of finding and answer, and Cambodia has made several attempts to get third parties involved. When you stop and think about that alone, it most certainly seems Cambodia feels they are right, and at the same time it seems Thailand feels that they are wrong. Continue reading Post ID 14672

Thaksin’s revenge
The dots are just too suggestive for this to be anything else. The long prison term in Cambodia for two of Thaksin’s major foes just does not make sense when you step back and look at the big picture. Continue reading Post ID 14672

Thaksin’s score Part 3
As the Thaksin on the run saga continues and he wears out his welcome country after country, his world is getting smaller and smaller. It would seem that countries that have a low number Thaksin is banned from entry. The ones he manages to sneak into quickly toss him out or encourage him to leave by not allowing him to launch political attacks from their soil. Sooner or later he may end up in Haiti as they could use his money big time. Continue reading Post ID 14672

Dancing with the devil Hun Sen style
Connecting the Dots has for a long time coined the phrase ‘Dance with the devil’ when we make reference to people interacting with Thaksin Shinawatra. So far we have never seen an instance where the person dancing with the devil was undamaged. With that observation we are already seeing damage to Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, and the dance is just starting. The one thing that differs with this dance is when Hun Sen dances with the devil, so does all of Cambodia. Continue reading Post ID 14672
