Thaksin Rules Out Serving Jail Term

[SICHONSTEVE]

I don't think Thaksin wants to "run the show", or if he does, only to the extent that it allows him to do deals. Thaksin is the globalist's lapdog. When he was in the employ of ths Carlyle Group he said he saw his role as being "a matchmaker" for global business interests that wanted to exploit Thailand's resources and labor. Nothing's changed really with the new "Trade ambassador" role he sees for himself, except now he can work outside the box of the premeirship, while his hand chosen puppet works within. If anything he's expanded his sights to regional deals. He can frontrun every policy coming down the pike or craft legislation to favor corporate or other foreign interests that he can take a piece of. Top Of The World, Ma!

Expect to see more and more of this kind of thing:

A group of potential Saudi investors were taken to survey rice farming areas in Thailand's central Suphanburi province in May, led by deposed Thai premier Thaksin Shinawatra. The proposal involved renting, not selling, the land, which foreigners are barred from owning in Thailand, and the creation of a joint rice-exporting venture.

The surveyed land was apparently owned by a ruling coalition politician with the Chat Thai party. Nonetheless Agriculture Minister Somsak Prissnanantakul and the Thai Farmers Association came out strongly against the idea, accusing the plan's proponents of selling off the country to foreigners and jeopardizing Thai farmers' unique way of life.

"Thai Farmers Association came out strongly against the idea, accusing the plan's proponents of selling off the country to foreigners and jeopardizing Thai farmers' unique way of life".

I don't know when this was but it illustrates his sole aim in life and that is to do business where it can increase his burgeoning empire no matter who it affects or is detrimental to their livelihoods.

On the aspect of Thaksin giving money away as mentioned in some posts - don't suggest this to Thaksin as the shock of something so alien to him such as this would give him a heart attack and although I despise him and everything he stands for I wouldn't wish that on him!!!! "If there's nothing in it for him then there's nothing going". I thought that he was a friend of the poor Thai farmers - seems a bit wide of the mark in this case.

That is because they (especially BG) are philanthropists that realise that they cannot possibly spend all of the money in their lifetime's so they have kindly given away half of their fortunes to worthy causes and charities. If there was such a word as anti-philanthropists then Thaksin would be the best example of what it is!!! If he had earned it honestly instead of raping Thailand then I would'nt have any qualms about it, but it wasn't and so I do!!!!

Some of the ultra-wealthy choose to do philanthropy in order to gain respect, particularly in the case when their wealth were acquired by underhanded means. Examples may be the Rockefellers and Rothschilds.

However it seems that Thaksin does not feel the need to get into philanthropy as he probably believes that he is already respected by millions of people, so it wouldn't be good value for money for him.

For decades, the Rockefeller name was despised in America–associated with John D. Rockefeller Sr.’s feared monopoly, Standard Oil.

By the end of his life, Rockefeller had given away half his fortune–but even his vast philanthropy could not erase the memory of his predatory business practices.

His only son, John D. Rockefeller Jr., would dedicate his life to recasting the family image. In the quest for redemption and respectability, Junior would give away hundreds of millions of dollars, and would insist that his six children behave impeccably.

Their contributions transformed America. When he died at age 86, Junior left his six children and 22 grandchildren an invaluable inheritance: a name which stood not for corporate greed, but for the well-being of mankind.

There are claims that the red shirts and their protests have been funded by foreign corporations, as having Thaksin in power would benefit them greatly.

When he was Prime Minister, Thaksin tried to ram through a free trade agreement with the U.S.A. which would have benefited many corporations.

Cast your mind back & see if you can remember any politicians or public servants actually jailed for corruption here in Thailand as there are not many. There was the ex health minister who was sentenced to 15 years & served 5, a couple of public servants have just been sentenced to 10?? years but no doubt will remain on bail while they appeal, Chalor the policeman sentenced to death a long time ago in connection with the Saudi jewels but has not been executed yet. Feel free to add to the list.

The 2 years Mr T has been sentenced to is minor compared to what could await him if he were to stand trial on the many other outstanding charges against him & this is where the stakes become high. Perhaps he could wait them out until the statute of limitations runs out. The classic example of this was the Alpine saga where the case was conveniently filed away until it was too late as there were just too many high profile people involved.

When Thailand stops modeling itself on the feudal system then there might be some hope for a fair & equitable system. There must be many red shirt serfs wondering just why they are still in jail without access to the legal resources that their leaders enjoy. Double standards?

[slapout]

It would appear that those writing the laws and enforcing same are those who will be breaking directly or in collusion with others those laws. This has been flagrantly demonstrated several times in the past and will probably happen again in the near future.

The only semblance of justice I have seen or read about has been that handed out at the village level against offenders. No government official were involved (except the headman, elected locally)but justice was served quickly and law applied, " this is not acceptable behavior in our village" made a lasting impression on the offender and the audience.

More likely his obsession with gaining more face than all others,

means he CAN'T be respected enough to satisfy.

The world is filled with robber barons and their off spring who obsessively fo charity work partly to dispel the nature of the family nest egg, But they are old money, new money most often is obsessed with getting respect via cash on hand from OLD MONEY, and rarely if ever get it, and makes then try all the harder.

Despised is putting it far to harshly.

He was a damned good businessman and created a monopoly that eventually was broken. But he also created great opportunity for millions world wide and furthered knowledge by his endowments.. Many of the larger figures of his time benefited from understanding the Industrial Revolution, and what it would need to support it and transport it's production. The 2nd generation of Industrial Revolution industrialists also have fertile fields to work with and increased the family funds beyond individual ability to run out, no matter how many children they made. So many of those also used Tax Code Incentives to endow many great projects, from hospitals to institutions of learning and pure science.

interesting read ...

http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/search/label/Thailand

leading to this

Now, Thailand again stands at a precipice. And, if a coup or other intervention pushes it ever closer to the edge, Washington must respond. The U.S. would have several concrete ways to deliver its message that democracy must stand. Most important, the Pentagon could cancel Cobra Gold, the massive joint U.S.-Thai military exercises held annually, which bring Thailand enormous prestige. The Obama administration could also apply sanctions that would cut off military transfers, for example. Congress, meanwhile, could start applying the type of scrutiny to Thailand that it applies to other countries in Asia, subjecting it to a real investigation and public hearing about its actions after the election. http://www.cfr.org/thailand/thailand-headed-another-coup-should-united-states-do-/p25458

For my 2 bahts worth even Hitler was a better person than Thaksin..At least Hitler topped himself.

[elcent]

Coming soon to Thailands with warmest greetings from the globallist elites. Thais have chosen and are accepting corruption by a majotrity.

Replace Gates with T.. T. may be joining the next Bilderbergers meeting soon.

PS: It's rumoured that some enforced vaccines are containing different things than described.

Gates Foundation Partner in Malawi Vaccinates 131 Children At Gunpoint

The Gates Foundation has long been in an aggressive effort to vaccinate the world and often targets poor Africans. The Gates’ web site showcases Melinda Gates applauding Malawi for enforcing vaccine programs with its helpful “health surveillance assistants.” She calls Malawi one of the few countries “on track to reach the UN Millennium Development Goal.” And who are those assistants meeting the goal? Hyper-vigilant medics with help from police.

While Thailand is not the largest producer of rice in the world I do believe it still remains the largest exporter of rice. Thais consume only about 1/3 of the rice they produce. what would getting into Thailand be worth to Monsanto? Billions.

If Thaksin still has no respect for the rulings for the kingdom's appointed judges then why come back at all? Better off staying where he is otherwise he will set a bad example to all his fellow Thais. And a clever touch in choosing his mistreatment of muslims as his one regret as he continues to enjoy a life of luxury courtesy of the rulers of Dubai!

Rockefeller led to anti-trust legislation in America which changed EVERYTHING. America certainly could have gone the way of all other oligarchal nations if not for that legislation. Let's not go into how things stand now in America.

Anyhow, even in this small country it's pretty clear that a couple of dozen or less enterprises account for the lion's share of commerce. CP a good candidate for anti-trust. Probably legislation will be passed allowing foreign ownership of thai businesses before THAT ever comes to pass.

Surely Monsanto is in here big time already & I am guessing there is huge corruption & profits being made on fertilizer. I wonder how many people are dying from applying fertilizer without using PPE (personal protective equipment).

[letitbe]

With regards Thatcher, i find it quite revealing that a number of Thaksin's main defenders on here have expressed their high opinion of that particular baroness. I think it shows that contrary to the motivations behind their red support that they declare - wanting a better life for the downtrodden poorer classes - this is actually not what it is about at all. Were it, they would have all been expressing outrage and disgust at PT's manipulation of the poor with their sudden backpeddling earlier this week on the 300 baht minimum wage pledge. All i saw from them however was excuses and justifications. Speaks volumes.

If what you say is true about the red shirt supporting farangs admiring that "old witch" then I don't feel quite so alienated in my support for the "Thai" Tory equivalent Democrats.

I just abhor what Thaksin has done in the past with his blatant exploitation of the poor for self-purpose motives. I don't know whether (in fact I very much doubt) that Yingluck would operate quite in the same abominable way as her older brother but time will tell. She has undoubtedly made things difficult for herself with those unwise pledges, but done them she has, and she must find a way of implementing them without bankrupting the country - interesting, considering her total lack of experience, to see how she goes about it as I think she must inevitably dissapoint and upset her devotee's at some point of time when they realise that she was telling porkies and just spouting out all her policies with one thing in mind only and that was to get elected.

do you really believe Yingluck has any say at all in what will be done are you knew or just naive

I've been saying for quite a while now that Thaksin's role will be limited partly on account of his exile (which will continue) and partly because he is banned from politics. I'm afraid that you are the naive one my friend and relying on all of those emoticons implies to me that you struggle to get your message over with words alone!!!!

Do you seriously believe that the workings of government can be controlled by someone living abroad - unless Yingluck sets up a permanent video conference facility with him (which she is not allowed to do, nor would it be wise to) or keeps in touch by phone during parliament time then she has got to do the job herself.

Clearly you have jumped on the bandwaggon "of the majority" in believing that Thaksin is in control, when he is not, and more pertinently, despite your belief that he is, he never will be.

What is going to happen when she is asked questions in parliament??? is she going to say "hang on a minute I don't know the answer to that question can I just ring my brother" - well think about it!!! Yingluck will have to think for herself I'm afraid and she will have to learn fast as those experienced in politics will "eat her alive" in debates and exploit her short-comings at the merest opportunity offered up to them. Is she going to mail all of those important documents she must sign on the future of Thailand for him to sign???

Don't you think, also, that he might just be a little bit busy maintaining his own empire and will only be able to spare a little bit of his valuable time talking to little sis??

The Pheu Thai party (Thaksin) have pulled a master stroke in putting Yingluck as their number 1 on the party list but now she is there they must back this up with results and her inept performance in initially back tracking on literally all of her policies (inevitable she would have to do this really) and now saying OK I'll implement them all at once to appease the people is a bigger and more serious mistake as it will be disastrous for SME and the tourist industry as well as being damaging for employment.

I was going to finish with an emoticon but I don't want to drop to your level of intelligence so I resisted!!

just wait within 3 months of PTP actually forming the new government their will be a retrial of Taksins case. He will be found not guilty on some technical or other grounds and then will return within 1 year. That is for sure. In meantime Yinglik will be controlled as her party will be by good brother. And then rest of Taksins plan will be enacted with Yinglik being nothing more ever than she is now a figurehead and puppet. I guess you just dont know anything about how things work here and if you even live here cant possibly have been here for long or last time dear brother was in charge of everything.

[bf2002]

hahahaahaha

Only in Thailand.

First, that Thaksin makes the choice.

Second, that sadly (like most of his red supporters, i.e. the majority of Thais), he is saying this because the whole case was political bunk (guilty or not his "trial" was clearly a mockery of real justice).

Third, that again, only in this twisted plot and place can he be totally logical that his serving the term would be a total mockery of justice.

Well, to play the devils advocate here: Atleast Hitler did his actions with the seemed notion that it was for the better of the people. The opposite as to why Thaksin aspire to rule.
