  • Thai Junta vs Human Nature

    Posted on October 29, 2015 12:02 am by Richard

    When the Thai military staged a Coup in 2014, they enjoyed nearly 70% support from Thais because they were doing something that was seen as positive for Thailand. But now it seems they may be expanding their agenda and based on what that agenda is, they risk having the entire population turning on them as well as giving Thaksin ammunition to stage a comeback.

  • Thaksin wants in but Prayut says no

    Posted on February 24, 2015 12:02 am by Richard

    It is starting to come right down to digging in against Thaksin’s insistence that he is still a player in Thailand’s politics. But the fact of the matter is that is unlikely that will happen. There are a series of dots that spell that out very clearly. Continue reading → Post ID 15391

    Posted on February 17, 2015 12:02 am by Richard

    As Thaksin and his team have been silenced by Thailand’s martial law, they have once again employed others to do their work for them. By seeking out reputable people to speak for them they have succeeded in getting past the junta’s mute button. Continue reading → Post ID 15391

  • 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 15391

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

    The title of this entry should have a ? or an ! after it. The problem is we don’t know just yet witch one is the right one to use. In either case there is significant major activity by the Junta with a full on attack against corruption and graft because things are all coming to a head and Thailand’s face is at stake.

  • Thaksin’s cronies bruised egos on display

    Posted on June 27, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    Seeing the more or less official launch of an Anti Thai Junta organization by Thaksin cronies, it leaves you wondering as to why this may happen seeing the present behavior of the Thai people is supportive of the Junta. The Thai people are clearly happier now after the Coup because of ending the ongoing damage being caused by the freshly ousted Pro-Thaksin Government. However if you understand the personalities of these cronies, you can understand the motivation behind this so called anti-Junta organization. Continue reading → Post ID 15391

  • 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.

  • Majority of Thais disapprove of Thaksin

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

    After watching the behavior of the pro-Thaksin Pheu Thai Party (PTP) since they were elected into power, it has become increasingly obvious that serving Thaksin means dis-serving the Thai people. Although no specific pole was conducted addressing this question, other polls are collectively implying that Thaksin’s self serving behavior has cut too deep into the lives of the people of Thailand.

    Posted on June 20, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    Since Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s Government came to power in 2011, the Red Shirts have been doing their best to bury their violent past. But because the Junta is not playing politics and they too were victims of Red Shirt violence, the Junta is mincing no words when it comes to talk about the Red Shirt’s behavior and the upcoming trials in criminal court related to the 2010 Red Shirt riots.

    Posted on June 13, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    No ThaksinAlthough the word Junta is a bad word to many, Thailand’s new Junta is not acting like a Junta at all. Their immediate goal of closing the gap caused by Thaksin seems to be admired by all, and secretly admired by the people who don’t like the word Junta. So perhaps a new word or description needs to be invented to accurately described what those Thai Generals really are. Continue reading → Post ID 15391

    Posted on December 18, 2010 12:02 am by Richard

    There is mounting and significant evidence that inaction by ASEAN to sort Burma out has allowed a monster to hatch. Being nice to bad countries is worse than doing something about them, and such a situation is emerging in Southeast Asia. Continue reading → Post ID 15391

    Some place very far down the list of countries, way past nice, way past acceptable, and in the middle of unstable and dangerous you will find North Korea. Some place else on that list you will find Burma listed as well. But with a recently discovered nuclear connection between the two countries, there are some map changing ramifications in the making.

    Posted on November 15, 2010 12:00 am by Richard

    In what clearly looks to be throwing a bone at the dogs of democracy, Burma’s junta has released Aung San Suu Kyi from house arrest that was keeping her from taking office. But after looking at the first 24 hours of her release, it is starting to look like it was only a delay and the people of Burma are already falling in line behind her.

    There are few people in the world that think the up coming November elections in Burma will be elections. For the most part it is an exercise to simply take some of the heat off the junta by mimicking something that resembles an election. Continue reading → Post ID 15391
