For the next 20 years, public administrations will be directed largely by the national strategy put forward by the National Council for Peace and Order. Governments failing to comply with the plan will face impeachment.

Ahhh!

 

The Politburo.

 

The more things change, the more they remain the same...

[RotMahKid]

They can use this graphic in a few years for the "most wanted" list.

[PatOngo]

Well, isn't this something to look forward to! 

[gunderhill]

I see they  have the "men in  black " there  too,  ready with guns loaded no doubt.

Enviornment second to last ,below equity on this agenda...Harder and harder to squeeze any cash from this worn out old work horse called Thailand,but when a beach rejuvenation (@600 billion bt) consists of sand bags buried beneath  6 inches of dredged mud/sand...their standards are obviously low....Which way to the beach dude!!

Indeed..

Yet, I believe this gang might make The Politburo look like child's play.

Coups by 'legal' means. Don't even have to roll the tanks through the streets. 80 years to come up with the final solution to coups that fail. Plus it nullifies the next 5 elections, no point having them.

Not a single woman on the committee at the moment. Is this 2018 or 1918?

A twenty-year strategy from a group that has difficulty thinking twenty days ahead.

Nor a single non Sino Thai, I might add

[Reigntax]

How many coups have they allowed for in the 20 years?

3 or 4 ?

Not surprising really. In the World Classification of Women in Parliaments ranking macho Thailand comes in at #184 out of 190 with a rating of 4.8% being women.

The Politburo

Since the beginning of the NCPO:

The Nation 2014-08-29

Prayuth as PM bears huge burden of expectations :

• "Realising that he faces a formidable task ahead, Prayuth has reportedly decided to upgrade his advisory team into a body similar to the central politburo of China's Communist Party."
• "This begs the question: will this committee be as powerful as China's politburo?"
• "Also, as a supreme leader of sorts - prime minister, NCPO boss and Army chief - Prayuth should realise that everything he does and every decision he makes has to be done with "a good conscience, wisdom, compassion and justice".

Lilliputians making a Gulliver out of Thailand.

Has anybody read the 20 National Year Strategic Plan? It's worth a read if you enjoy a good laugh.

Go to this website and download the pdf file.

https://www.hiso.or.th/hiso5/report/download.php?name=eng2017_16

It is nothing more than a document of platitudinous, jingoistic, patriotic, ideological fluff.  It is a long winded summarisation of one man's dreams plus the outpourings of unintelligible verbiage people have suffered over the past 4+ years.

It is non-specific and thus should hold no fear for future democratic governments. It can be disposed of somewhere in a dark corner.

It's real value is for entertainment only.

Remembering why Mr. Swift had to pen through metaphors.

As it still holds today.

What a total joke that document is. Perhaps they had an undergraduate university student draft it. Terrible and embarrassing 

[thesetat2013]

with the average age of 63 this should be a 5 year national strategy. One thing seems clear. Even if P does not run or win any election allowed.. He has secured a position that keeps him in control of the countries future.. 

Why bother to have elections now?

Unfortunately its real value (as many have noted) is a tool (as in a "trap") to grant the military authority to forcibly change elected governments in a manner that is not otherwise consistent with the Constitution.

In essence however, the 2017 Constitution violates its very own articles that allows the Constitutional Court the means to sustain military "options."

Oh, don't be like that, FB. The 20-yr Plan, now printable and pasteable on the balcony wall, will give me stacks to MULL OVER as I quaff my Sunday beer.

No, madmitch . . . it's just 21st Century Thailand . . . just the odd step or two, behind.

Politbüros were usually presumptuous enough to do 5 year plans.

But the megalomaniacs in stars and stripes do a 20 year plan.

Stunning.

"impeach", nice word for next coup.

No bright future in sight for this country.

Why does everything have to be lose/lose here?

Could all change in February 2019 when a supposedly "democratic" election takes place and the new Parliament throws out the plan.

Need not be so dramatic. Just change the chairman of the Steering Committee in charge of selecting the 6 teams who will be writing the detail strategy. Plus change the strategy approval body from NCPO to Parliament and shortened the plan to 5 years. Maybe, just maybe that wheel in motion as we speak as I have yet to hear anything on the make-up of the 6 groups that will be tasked.

Man, those images in the OP look like a who's who of a fascist organization.
