BIG ELECTION IN THAILAND

Thai Girl -Website for this image

After Tunisia comes Thailand.

In 2010, the Thai army put down violent protests in Bangkok.

The 'Red Shirts', said to be supported by the CIA, were temporarily defeated.

The 'Red Shirts' are supporters of the billionaire Thaksin Shinawatra, who is said to be the candidate of 'the Globalists'.

Thaksin was prime minister of Thailand until ousted in an army coup in 2006.

Thaksin helped the poor, killed off certain drugs dealers, but was accused of involvement in corruption and 'extra-judicial killings'.

Thailand means smiling Buddhist people, various mafias running sex tourism and a struggle between the US and China for influence.

Thaksin and Abhisit

On 3 July 2011, Thailand holds elections.

The current prime minister, Abhisit Vejjajiva, is facing Thaksin's sister, Yingluck Shinawatra.

Thaksin currently lives in a luxury villa in Dubai.

His political party, led by his sister, is called and Pheu Thai.

It is expected to win a majority, (Thaksin's last stand ) but the result could be close (Thailand's "red shirt villages").

Yingluck, Thaksin's sister.

Reportedly, Thaksin was behind the violent demonstrations and arson attacks in Bangkok in 2010.

Mysterious black-clad gunmen were said to be linked to the 'red shirts'.

Thaksin is opposed by much of the Thai military, by 'old money and by the traditionalist, nationalist 'yellow shirts'.

Thaksin made his fortune in telecommunications.

His main support comes from the rural poor.

While prime minister, Thaksin's policies included virtually free healthcare and low-interest loans to villages.

"The policies proved so popular the current government is extending them."

Abhisit is promising a 25% increase in the minimum wage, diesel and cooking gas subsidies, and free electricity for the poor.

Thaksin's party is promising an increase in the minimum wage well above 25%.

In Bangkok and in Pattaya in Thailand, 'Al Qaeda' operatives often meet with their CIA and MI6 'liaisons'.

(Reported CIA and MI6 links to al Qaeda.)

Bangkok was the site of one of the CIA’s secret rendition prisons.

For many tourists, Thailand means prostitution.

The "Mai Travel" hotel in Pattaya, in Thailand, accommodates almost exclusively Israeli sex tourists.

Bangkok

Has the CIA turned against the 'establishment' in Thailand, partly because the Thai government is seen as being too friendly with China, and not sufficiently 'globalist'?

The globalists are backing Thailand's "red" color revolutions and its leader Thaksin Shinawatra.


IS THAILAND NEXT?

Are the folks at the CIA (the Globalists) planning to put Mr Thaksin back into power?

From landestroyer.blogspot (Warning Signs Over Old Siam):

"Thaksin ... after a promising first term in office, began criminally consolidating power and wealth...

"Throughout the red shirts' publications ... themes include insinuated threats aimed at the monarchy and more recently, calls to emulate uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, and perhaps most alarmingly, comparisons made between ousting Qaddafi in Libya and Thailand's current prime minster.


"Considering that each one of these nations amongst the 'Arab Spring' are textbook examples of foreign funded subversion, it is telling and troubling indeed that Thailand's red shirts are standing in open solidarity with them.

"Red shirt propaganda can be found online as well, including on the National Endowment for Democracy funded Prachatai website...


"Regarding Thailand's strategic importance to China, it possesses the narrow Kra Isthmus that China would like to develop into a Suez/Panama Canal-like project to shorten trips for its oil laden, China-bound tankers.

"Thailand also serves as an overland conduit, running north and south with a developed rail system connecting Singapore's shipping yards to Laos' capital of Vientiane.

"China has begun the development of a rail system through Laos and the joint upgrading of Thailand's rail system.

"Thailand also is one of the world's largest rice exporters, which makes the nation vital to China's future growth and food security."

THAILAND HEATS UP

The Thai King

In Bangkok and in Pattaya in Thailand, 'Al Qaeda' operatives often meet with their CIA and MI6 'liaisons'.

(Reported CIA and MI6 links to al Qaeda.)

Bangkok was the site of one of the CIA’s secret rendition prisons.

For many tourists, Thailand means prostitution.

Bangkok

But, the CIA seems to have turned against the 'establishment' in Thailand, partly because the Thai government is seen as being too friendly with China, and not sufficiently 'globalist'.

The globalists are backing Thailand's "red" color revolutions and its leader Thaksin Shinawatra.

A13 draws our attention to the news on 25 April 2011 that: Thai border clashes are sparking coup fears

Thailand has been involved in border clashes with Cambodia.

At the same time there are rumours of a military coup in Thailand.

Thailand is expected to hold elections in July 2011.

The military appear to be keen to prevent a victory by Thaksin and his 'reds'.

Bangkok

In February 2011, 10 people died in clashes between Thailand and Cambodia, near the 11th-century Hindu temple of Preah Vihear.

At least 11 people have been killed in the latest (April 2011) fighting 150km west of Preah Vihear at the site of two temples claimed by both Thailand and cambodia.

Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has backed the Thai army in 'defending Thai territory.'

Thailand's yellow shirts, the pro-government People's Alliance of Democracy have denounced Cambodia.

Thailand's red-shirt leaders, the rebel United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship, have accused the military of meddling in politics.

Bangkok

In 2010, the Thai security forces dispersed thousands of red-shirt protesters, who were holding weeks-long protests in Bangkok.

As many as 91 people were killed in the clashes.

Some suspect 'mysterious forces' of being behind the killings.

Thaksin, in exile, has recently used a video link to address thousands of members of his Puea Thai party.

THAI DEMONSTRATORS ARE 'PAWNS IN A BIGGER GAME.'

The recent 'people power' protests by the 'reds' in Thailand may have been deliberately manipulated in such a way as to weaken the highly popular former Thai prime minister Thaksin.

According to the New York Times:

"Mr. Thaksin’s position now appears weakened by the collapse of the protests...

"He was popular for lifting rural incomes, cracking down on drugs and paying off the country’s debts to the International Monetary Fund." - As Protesters Pause in Thailand, Their Grievances Against Elite Simmer

Thai Prime Minister Abhisit represents 'Old Money'

According to The Times (London)

"At least for the time being, Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, an Oxford-educated politician whom many regarded as too soft to handle crises, appears to have gained in stature while many Thais are denouncing Mr Thaksin for inciting his followers to lawlessless by calls for a 'revolution'." - Arrest warrants issued for Thai protest leaders

An Asian publication comments:

"Thaksin, who bet all his political fortune on April 13, has failed miserably...

"Now Abhisit has emerged as a strong leader. He has almost transformed overnight from a lame-duck PM... - Thaksin has been found out, and out-manoeuvred

ASEAN

Was the disruption of the Asean Summit in April 2009 a false flag operation?

"We did not see Army chief General Anupong Paochinda or police boss Patcharawat Wongsuwan show up while the red shirts were ambushing the Asean Summit..." - Thaksin has been found out, and out-manoeuvred

Heroin Flows

What does the US government think of Thaksin?

On the one hand, Thaksin could be seen as being a friend of the US elite, because he has favoured the idea of globalisation.

According to the Wall Street Journal:

"For decades, power-brokers in the military, parliament and boardroom used the government to enrich themselves. The populist Mr. Thaksin threatened their interests by obtaining a strong democratic mandate to start expensive government programs to benefit the rural poor, and also to open the door wider to the forces of globalization and competition."

On the other hand, Thaksin reportedly upset the US elite by:

1. withdrawing troops from Iraq

2. flirting with China

3. cracking down on drugs.

The US government may not be keen on any Thai government, whether under Thaksin or Abhisit, making certain deals with China.

China View reports on the ASEAN summit which prime minister Abhisit saw being disrupted by the 'reds'. (Political turmoil glooms Thailand's outlook):

"The three-day 14th ASEAN summit and related summits, which was scheduled to kick off on April 10, is particularly of importance.

"China and ASEAN had initially planned to ink an investment agreement at their summit.

"The agreement, if signed, together with a 2004 goods agreement and a 2007 services agreement, will formally complete the China-ASEAN free trade area negotiation process.

"Besides, the ASEAN-India Free Trade Agreement was to be signed on April 11.

"Now the plans, as well as other crucial discussions, have to be deferred."

China's President Hu meeting Thaksin in Thailand in 2003

According to Swedish journalist Bertil Lintner, in the Wall Street Journal, on 15 April 2009 (The Real Thai Crisis):

"It is doubtful whether the demonstrators, who may genuinely believe they are fighting for democracy, realize that they are little more than pawns in a bigger game...

"Mr. Thaksin is a multibillionaire who primarily represents Sino-Thai business interests, not poor farmers.

"While in power, he cleverly marketed his rural development policies including cheap health care, generous monetary support to rural communities and other populist schemes...

"The present crisis is thus more correctly understood as a clash between two elites: 'old money' in the hands of Thailand's traditional plutocracy, and 'new money' which has risen to prominence since the country's economy began to surge in the 1960s...

"Last year, people dressed in yellow shirts fought battles for the old elite, who now support Mr. Abhisit. This time, those in red shirts are fighting for the new elite, represented by Mr. Thaksin..."

The US government may want to promote a Thai leader who favours neither 'old money' nor 'new money'.



American educated Jakrapob.

People Power is usually organised by the security services of one country or another.

So, what about the demonstrations in Thailand in April 2009?

Have the usual spooky people infiltrated the Thaksin 'red' protest movement?

At this site: (แสดงความคิดเห็น) « www.prachatai.com เวบหนังสือพิมพ์ออนไลน์, we read that a Thai academic and politician, Chakrapob Phenkae (Jakrapob Penkair), has claimed that one of the people close to former Thai Prime Chuan Leekpai is an agent of the CIA.

"PRIME Minister Chuan Leekpai Monday urged an academic who claimed that one of Chuan's close aides was being paid by a CIA secret agent to name the person.

"Chakrapop Phenkae (Jakrapob Penkair), an academic and a television anchorman, Monday claimed that an MP from the Central region who is one of Chuan's close aides acts as a spy for the US.

"Chuan said he had no idea who Chakrapop (Jakrapob) was referring to or what Chakrapop's intention or motive might be. 'I do not know if the purpose is just to discredit someone. [Chakrapop] should reveal the name so that we can order a probe,' Chuan said."

"Chuan or Chakrapob
(Jakrapob) - who do you think is the CIA agent supporting Thaksin in a bid to distabilise the monarchy?"

On 15 April 2009, at Asia Times (Hong Kong), Shawn W Crispin wrote about the political situation in Thailand. (A battle won in Thailand's 'war')

Among the points made:

1. Former Thai prime minister Thaksin is now allied to US-educated Jakrapob Penkair, leader of the United Front for Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD).

Reportedly, Jakrapob was the brains behind the recent 'brinksmanship' by the 'red' protesters.



2. UDD supporters broke up an Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) meeting in Pattaya in April 2009 (where China had been planning to make important announcements about economic aid)

3. UDD claims there were "a lot of dead people" after the April 2009 Bangkok protests.

4. The military, under army commander General Anupong Paochinda, might decide to take power.

5. Thaksin surprised many by supporting the recent brinkmanship by the 'reds'.

Thaksin criticised members of King Bhumibol's advisory Privy Council, including Privy Council President Prem Tinsulanonda.

Reportedly, Jakrapob pushed Thaksin to take a tough line.

6. Thaksin alleged that Prem and his associate General Surayud Chulanont were among the masterminds of the 2006 coup.

7. Thaksin now seems to have joined Jakrapob in speaking out against the 'aristocracy'.

8.Thaksin called for a national uprising.

9. There could be trouble in the provinces.

10. Allegedly, Thaksin supporters, with the help of former communists, have been secretly transporting small arms through Cambodia to the northeastern provinces.

11. However, there are no indications that Thaksin would support an armed revolution.
