  • 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.

  • 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 15871

  • 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 15871

  • Thai Junta reminding Red Shirts what they want to forget

    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.

  • Layers of laws to stop Thaksin Part 2

    Posted on June 3, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    After Thaksin and his supporters got a good taste of the new laws designed to stop them from being corrupt and self serving, they made the decision people who are not willing to change make. That decision was to do their best to remove or get around the laws that are in their way. The thought of complying with the law obviously never entered their mind. Continue reading → Post ID 15871

  • Unbalanced stand-off with Thaksin Shinawatra

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

    As Thailand’s political unrest continues, the financial pain continues to grow as Thailand’s economy moves from the plus to the minus column. This unfortunately plays into Thaksin’s hands as shortly after the 2006 coup, Thaksin announced he would squeeze Thailand into submissiveness by using this exact same method.

  • Law breaking Red Shirts supporting law breaking Government

    Posted on May 7, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    When you read in the news about the pro-Thaksin Red Shirts citing justice as a ‘Judicial Coup’, it does cause you to think about the level of mentality the Red Shirts actually have. No politician is above the law and if the law is broken they must pay the price, but the Red Shirts would have you believe otherwise. Continue reading → Post ID 15871

  • Red Shirt’s confused logic

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

    The Red Shirts plan another rally to show displeasure in the behavior of independent bodies who sided against the Government. But looking at it closer, the protests may just be a way for Red Shirt leaders to maintain some sort of political power in the changing winds of Thailand politics as both their popularity and numbers are in decline.

    Thai FarmerIt was not that long ago that the people of rural northeast Thailand felt that the political happenings in Bangkok were worlds away and really made no difference in their simple but poor lifestyle. That was then, but now those simple but poor Thai people have learned the hard way of what happens when you embrace highly corrupt politicians as saviors. Continue reading → Post ID 15871

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

    It seems both the present Thai Government and the previous Thai Government are facing nearly identical murder charges for deaths during protest dispersal. There is one significant difference and that is one action was court endorsed, and the other went against a court ruling. Continue reading → Post ID 15871

  • Yingluck next victim of Thaksin

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

    With Thaksin Shinawatra, people regularly take a fall for him while he manages to stay clear and free of direct involvement. It does not matter who it is as Thaksin just uses them for his own personal gain. Once they are used up, he simply finds someone new and it does not matter if it is a sibling or not.

    Posted on February 4, 2014 12:02 am by Richard

    There is a new player in the game against Thaksin and his massively corrupt regime, and it is clearly not on Thaksin’s side. The new player is the clock, and when it runs out, it most likely will signal the end of this round. We say this round because Thaksin will continue to try again and again until he draws his last breath. Continue reading → Post ID 15871

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

    As attacks on anti Government protesters become more organized with the use of military weapons, the list gets very short as to who would have access to such weapons. When you figure in who would most benefit from disrupting the protests, the list is quickly reduced to a list of one. Continue reading → Post ID 15871

  • Yingluck Shinawatra’s pending red card

    Posted on December 26, 2013 12:02 am by Richard

    In Thailand there are certain election laws that say when a politician can start their campaign for election. The reason for this law is to provide an equal chance for all politicians and balance the election playing field. But when you look at the behavior of Yingluck, you see a politician in full campaign mode running through her voter base way before the Election Commission (EC) has given the word ‘GO!’.
