Hahaha!

If he did he would ask where to collect his $200!

When is the big man coming to (Thaitown) LA? Maybe it would be fun for some people there to organize some kind of satiric FLASH MOB to perform some kind of silly mass performance near the place he's going to be? Any good ideas for what the theme should be? Not talking a protest per se, more like performance art in the spirit of flash mobs. Sing a song, wear some funny clothes, do some weird thing en masse. It might add something to the circus environment of his visit to America. Make him feel noticed, you know?

The little guy in the Red Shirt is scheduled for a one-night-only performance this Sunday at the worn-out and drab Thailand Plaza restaurant/karaoke shop/entertainment center that sits atop a grim supermarket on crime-ridden Hollywood Boulevard.

His five-hour appearance at the dingy Thailand Plaza restaurant is now being billed as:

So he don´t trust Thais?

The way Thai perform in Olympic Tae Kwan Do, I will pick a Korean.

listen, if you're gonna hold thaksin up to blame for the war on drugs, you may as well hold the whole country up for it.

and that's not me supporting it, it's just the truth.

he gets scolded for that and i agree that he should do, but to put it all on his shoulders is very naive... at best.

What a daft suggestion.

not at all.

see, your reply is in the usual 'saying something without actually saying anything' style, that is to be expected.

it's just plain disagreement without a point to back it up with... standard stuff.

@nurofiend Are you suggesting Thaksin didn't have executive ownership for the war on drugs policy in Thailand? A quote from Thaksin “Because drug traders are ruthless to our children. So being ruthless back to them is not a big thing…. It may be necessary to have casualties… If there are deaths among traders, it’s normal…”.

see this is where the bias line makes people's vision blurry.

i'm saying i DO blame thaksin, it's just i blame a hell of a lot of other people too.

I'll draw a picture if it helps. Maybe a Venn diagram will assist.

Thaksin initiated the war on drugs and its policies. He's on record on many occasions promoting death. His lieutenants such as Yongyut are also heavily implicated as are many police chiefs and prison guards (more than 100 died in custody).

Several investigations also pointed the finger. Around half the people killed had nothing to do with drugs and were killed for rivalry.

A report implicating several PPP members had the names removed.

Thaksin had many opportunities to call a halt. He did the opposite.

So from someone like you to say that the whole country is guilty is just a sad and pathetic attempt to dilute his guilt. The same mentality that wants to hold Abhisit to account for the 2010 deaths because he was in charge.

Hang your head in shame

So trying to read between the lines of your post are you pointing out that quite a few law enforcement people were also complicit in the extrajudicial killings? If this is correct you are obviously right, but as I said Thaksin should still be held accountable. Whether this will ever happen is highly unlikely due to the need for evidence. If someone in the hierarchy would be brave enough to step up & give evidence you would assume they would need to seek asylum, given the police killers who recently received bail, even though they were given life sentences.

Church of Scientology? Has Thaksin begun worshiping Zoboo from the planet whatchamacallit? It all makes perfect sense now.

I wonder if Tom Cruise attended the dear leaders meeting ?

US immigration officer who did not arrest Thaksin should be charged for neglating their duty, for not arresting a know fugitive, high on Thailand and Interpol most wanted list.

The American dare to call themselves Police of the World?

Actually he is not on an interpol wanted list and they would only arrest him at the request of the Thai authorities, technically he has committed no crime in the US

That's because they spared no expense with his belated happy birthday cake.

Just like the Elite Card fiasco. Why blame Thaksin? You may as well blame those one million fellow elitists who failed to shell out a million baht each to join his club.

Hmmm notice the third hand scratching Thaksins butt!

Sometimes the Carlyle Group go too far

The Carlyle Group is an American-based global asset management firm, specializing in private equity, based in Washington, D.C. http://en.wikipedia....i/Carlyle_Group

Thaksin had been overtly working for foreign corporate-financier interests, most notably the notorious Carlyle Group, long before even taking office in 2001..........In all, Thaksin was an autocratic, mass-murdering tyrant who effectively eliminated judicial measures designed to reel in such abuses of power. On September 18, 2006, on the eve of the military coup that unseated him from power, Thaksin was before the corporate-financier Council on Foreign Relations in New York City, providing the council with a progress report and reaffirming his ties to Wall Street and London. http://thearrowsoftr.../carlyle-group/

What's wrong is a system completely controlled by a corporate-financier oligarchy with financial, media, and industrial empires that span the globe.........

International Crisis Group,

Background: While the International Crisis Group (ICG) claims to be "committed to preventing and resolving deadly conflict," the reality is that they are committed to offering solutions crafted well in advance to problems they themselves have created in order to perpetuate their own corporate agenda.........

Nowhere can this be better illustrated than in Thailand and more recently in Egypt. ICG member Kenneth Adelman had been backing Thailand's Prime Minster Thaksin Shinwatra, a former Carlyle Group adviser who was was literally standing in front of the CFR in NYC on the eve of his ousting from power in a 2006 military coup. Since 2006, Thaksin's meddling in Thailand has been propped up by fellow Carlyle man James Baker and his Baker Botts law firm...... and now Robert Amsterdam's Amsterdam & Peroff, a major corporate member of the globalist Chatham House. http://www.thomhartm...s-institute-cfr

You absolutely correct! Finally someone posting the truth about Thaskin/Us connection. Thanks!

When I thought the man couldn't stoop any lower...

The Scientology facility rents out its meeting room as do other organizations. Dr. Thaksin's presence is in no way linked to the Church. When I was a student, the Legion Hall in our university town was often rented out to punk and ska bands. It didn't make the Legion supporters of the bands, nor did it make the musicians supporters of the Legion. The local group that invited Dr. Thaksin to speak to the patriotic Thais assembled selected a secure venue that was affordable. Nothing wrong with that. In any case, the Church is a legal organization and has just as much right to exist as any other religious organization that rents out its facilities.
