  • Narcissism influenced Presidential behavior Part 5

    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 16207

  • 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.

  • Mention Thaksin and anxiety spikes

    Posted on January 4, 2016 12:02 am by Richard

    Despite all the efforts to bring calm to Thailand’s political conflict, just the mention of Thaksin Shinawatra and anxiety levels spike. Unfortunately that means that despite all the efforts to bring a lasting political calm, this anxiety reaction means that whatever calm is being seen is not genuine, and political unrest is only being repressed.

  • 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 16207

    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 16207

    Posted on January 30, 2015 12:02 am by Richard

    The USA sees Thailand’s martial law as stepping on freedom and democracy, and to some extent it is. But when you understand that Martial law is keeping want to be dictators and other trouble makers in check, it is suddenly viewed in a different light. Continue reading → Post ID 16207

  • Fractures in pro-Thaksin camp showing

    Posted on January 27, 2015 12:02 am by Richard

    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 16207

  • Yingluck’s dance with the devil

    Posted on January 14, 2015 12:02 am by Richard

    When you do things for Thaksin Shinawatra being his kin or not, you almost always find yourself getting the short and nasty end of the stick while he is untouched. Add to that he is also unconcerned about your well being and sees you is a tool for his own agenda. This is a classic signature of Thaksin to use people for his own benefit and discard them when they are no longer useful. Now Yingluck must face the music for failing to stop a rice pledging scheme that was so corrupt, it nearly caused Thailand to go bankrupt. Continue reading → Post ID 16207

  • Thailand’s undoable amnesty bomb

    Posted on January 2, 2015 12:02 am by Richard

    If there is any one topic that will quickly bring the masses of angry people back into the streets, it is the proposed amnesty for people caught up in Thailand’s political turmoil. It clearly is a topic as controversial as Thaksin Shinawatra simply because the root cause of Thailand’s political turmoil is Thaksin Shinawatra himself. Continue reading → Post ID 16207

  • 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 16207

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

    When Thailand’s Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha said no more news coverage of Thaksin Shinawatra, it was a huge blow for Thaksin. Thaksin was finding his way into Thai news for the most trivial of things and on the front page no less. But now there is just a trickle from media outside of Thailand, so Thaksin has upped his game.

    Posted on October 15, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    Subtle hints of Thaksin working behind the scenes to resume where he left off are finding their way into the news. The reports are increasing in frequency and gradually taking on a more political tone. The only thing that is keeping Thaksin’s volume down is Martial Law, and that is entirely the reason Martial law is being kept in place. Continue reading → Post ID 16207

  • Thailand’s Martial law keeps Thaksin in check

    Posted on September 23, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    More than 4 months after the May 2014 coup, you may expect some easing of military muscle as Thailand trends back towards democracy. But to many Thais, they recognize that Martial law for now is the best option to let Thailand heal simply because corrupt Thais don’t want to see the end of the status quo. To let the anti-corruption laws and procedures come into effect without sabotage is the quickest and best road for Thailand.
