Big Brother is watching you.

Big Brother? More like "Who's your Daddy?"

China or the US. US or China.

At the moment the LOS has slid up to China as it's Papa, after having shot down the TPP. But the US tends to have most of the smaller countries by the proverbial 'balls' in one way, shape, or form. At some point in time, they decide it's time to give a little squeeze, and suddenly the US has a new friend.

Give it time, and we'll see which Daddy Thailand likes the best.

Hey Hey Hey - Today we definitely know who Thailand's Big Daddy is - The government must have got a little loving 'squeeze' from Big Daddy USA cause today we find that they are going to sign on to the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). A wonderful piece of work constructed by corporations and governments in total secrecy, that essentially allows corporations to essentially over-ride the laws and judicial systems of sovereign signees and ride rough-shod over each state and its populace. One more step closer to global governance controlled by corporate entities. No joke.

Nice first step toward global corporatism. Mussolini has a more accurate word for it, but I'll leave that history lesson up to the reader to research.

Next step forward: building more prisons and squeezing blood from a rock money from the poor and middle class to further enrich the elite.

Next stop: Neo-feudalism

The chinese took over Thailand decades ago, all of Thai gov and cooperation here are Thai Chinese as are the ruling elite. However, as much as they like Chinese temples and traditions they regard themselves as better than the Chinese and wont allow them to take over the country. Likewise the Chinese probably think the same and will want to expand their empire of which all they have to do is wave some money around at their long lost brothers and bobs your uncle:

Chailand - The land of upside down smiles

Space Technology eh. Well; who will we nominate to be the first Thai Man into outer space ? I'm sure the majority of them are already 'spaced out' for most of the time already...at least it seems that way from what comes out of their mouths !

"the first Thai Man into outer space ?"

She's already been nominated, and is in-training, "30-year oldspace engineer Phirada Techavichit" ... "was selected as one of 23 persons from 62 countries to travel with the Lynx Mark II spacecraft under the AXE Apollo project in December."
