Popular Post moojar Posted March 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2019 I have actually much reduced my participation in Thailand forums since the last coup, and I certainly do not criticise anything that might come back to bite me. So I will not say anything worth saying here either. I just want a peaceful existence in rural Thailand while I live out my "golden years". Current policy: Thailand's politics is none of my business. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

korkenzieher Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Most governments are not subversive. But the more dictatorial and totalitarian they get, the more likely they are to believe that the general population is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smedly Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 The problem with Thailand is that actions rarely match claimed objectives, this makes them highly suspect and sinister or just blatant stupidity Take your pick 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GinBoy2 Posted March 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 1, 2019 Some you probably haven't been in Thailand long to remember when this all started to get hyped up as a way to suppress dissent.. The 'Call to Report' campaign was the real start of the excessive use of 112 and computer crime. I always wondered if I called ,,,,would Abbhist answer!

I reckon if you're using a free VPN then your VPN supplier is selling your browsing history, how else would they make money. If you're paying a monthly fee then it's more likely they're not, but, who knows. If you use a VPN then google or whoever, google or whoever still sees what you're googling and uses it for their reasons etc. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srikcir Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 6 hours ago, webfact said: the legislation allows the military-led National Security Council to override all procedures with its own law. Without NLA consent, how is that constitutional, ie., after an installed elected government such as might occur in 2019 and after the dissolution of the NCPO required by the constitution? By what right is the NSC military-led? Certainly at the present the NCPO has absolute power to override the constitution to command any government agency it desires and place its own officers as the leading government official. As the current PM is Chief of the NCPO, it can be said correctly that currently the NSC is military-led. So a military-led NSC is currently by default. In fact the Office of the National Security Council is an agency under the Office of the Prime Minister whose members include: the prime minister as chairman, a deputy prime minister selected by the prime minister as vice chairman, the ministers of Defence, Treasury, Foreign Affairs, Communications (physical, e.g.: roads), Technology and Communications (speech, print, or broadcast), the Interior, Justice, the director of Intelligence, the secretary of the National Economic and Social Development Bureau, the military’s Supreme Commander, and “three persons of eminence appointed by the Cabinet”, and a secretary who is also to be a member of the council. https://chalongbay.wordpress.com/2015/11/01/thailands-new-national-security-council-act-and-what-it-might-mean/ But what if the next elected PM is not Prayut or pro-military who might feel obligated to allow the military to subvert civilian leadership of the NSC? By virtue of the election of a civilian having no loyalty of oath to the military, it would seem that the military might lose its leadership over the NSC. Just as the military could lose current control of the Minister of Defense and control of its military budget. Obviously, the military can and has recently threatened what appears to be possible constitutional actions by an elected PM as threats to national security for which the military believes it has extra-constitutional powers to override (historically by force). That's a challenge to elected civilian control of government best left to another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupermarineS6B Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I sincerely hope that the country ( I'll be careful here) understands that the powers that be are rapidly jumping to the beat of a foreign (Not so free) power who've caused untold damage in the region for centuries..... I just hope that the ultimate power in the country realises and steps in before they as well as us will be taking a long holiday in the west....... It happened before in 1933........

Following the spirit of the new law, it would seem to be up to the authorities to decide. Pretty much anything can be construed as wrongdoing. Then again, I don't think porn consumers are specifically targeted, but such things could certainly be used to spice a case against, say, dissenters.

That's not because it has been detected in Thailand. It's because Amazon prime have made an educated guess that you are using a VPN in the source country. Try changing your VPN. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bizboi Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 The fall out from Thailand getting closer and closer to China. The elites, the junta, Taksin and the current placing as Thailand being the hub of crackdowns all comes from China as do most of the elites. I feel sorry for Thais they are being massively exploited by China!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
