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 15032

Thaksin’s proxy governments are slow learners
The behavior of Pheu Thai Party (PTP) and the People Power Party (PPP) are similar in a lot of ways. Both are/were focused on helping Thaksin Shinawatra. Also both are/were arrogant. But perhaps the most important and most similar is their same disrespect or inability to stay within the law and to respect the authority given to others in the separation of powers built into the Constitution.

Thailand’s evolved Red Shirts Part 2
As the Red Shirts continued to evolve they became more bold and violent. They changed from simply protecting their own turf to actively attacking others who were trying to show their political views that were against corruption. Their first targets were the Yellow Shirt Protests that started mid 2008. For lack of a better general description, the Red Shirts became enforcers of corruption. Continue reading Post ID 15032

Seeds planted for new political violence in Thailand
As much as the Thai government officials would like to put political violence behind them, that is only a dream. That dream was shattered Sunday October 29 when an anti Thaksin / Pro Monarchy rally was over 400% of the size expected. Needless to say, as long as the convicted fugitive Thaksin Shinawatra still is influencing Thailand, the problems will happen again and again. Simply for a tire not to continually go flat, the nail must be removed and the hole must be patched. Continue reading Post ID 15032

Thaksin’s party glued by greed
It does not take much to see the motivation behind the Pheu Thai Party (PTP) in Thailand. Just read their comments and statements in the news and it is clear they do not serve the Thai people, they only serve Thaksin. Continue reading Post ID 15032

Destroyed by Thaksin
It is a very big list of people who have had their lives destroyed by Thaksin. In fact just sitting down and coming up with a number, roughly it has been about 1 person per month.
