Thailand Rice-Pledging Scheme Headed For Disaster: Academic

[SomTumTiger]

Scheme headed for disaster: academic, #1^

Meanwhile, Somporn Isvilanonda, an economist at the Knowledge Network Institute of Thailand, said the rice-subsidy scheme had proved a failure

What the hell is "The Knowledge Network Institute of Thailand"?

Stated as if everyone should know this. But noticeable for its' absence is any reference to its source.

Red Flags pop up all over the place when I see this.

Red Flag #1 - It is acknowledged that with the exception of Nitirat, the vast majority of academics are sympathetic to the Opposition.

Red Flag #2 - Universities are also dominated by Oppositional sympathizers

Red Flag #3 - The Opposition has a penchant for laundering its' agenda through others.

Red Flag #4 - The Opposition fabricates organizational entities they like to call networks, as additional agenda laundering outlets.

So here we have reference to an academic, presumably in a University and a so-called Network dumping on the Government.

Wot duz that tell ya!

Your "red flags" are personal opinions dressed up as "facts" - you are entitled to your opinion, but don't state them as if they are factual.
