ΣΧΟΛΙΟ ΙΣΤΟΛΟΓΙΟΥ : Ο τίτλος είναι κατά το ήμισυ σωστός, όταν αναφέρονται στις Η.Π.Α θα πρέπει να την διαχωρίζουν στην Αμερική των Χαζαροεβραίων τραπεζιτών που ελέγχουν την οικονομία της, και στους Αγγλοσάξονες που την ελέγχουν διοικητικά και στρατιωτικά. Στην αμερικάνικη ιστορία,
από ένα σημείο και μετά στην αγγλοσαξονική πραγματικότητα εισήλθαν οι
Χάζαροι τραπεζίτες. Είναι γνωστά τα λόγια του πρώην Αμερικάνου Προέδρου
Τ. Τζέφερσον (1743 – 1826) για τους τραπεζίτες. Ακόμα και ο Τζ. Κένεντι ήταν ένας από
αυτούς τους Προέδρους που αντιτάχθηκαν στους τραπεζίτες και πλήρωσε με
την ζωή του. ! Ταϊλάνδη και Ταιβάν είναι το μαλακό υπογάστριο της Κίνας, οι Δυτικοί εάν θέλουν να κυριαρχήσουν επί της Κίνας θα πρέπει να ελέγξουν αυτές τις δύο χώρες. Η Κίνα έχει δηλώσει για την Ταϊβάν.... «πρέπει να αναγνωρίσουν ότι η ανεξαρτησία της Ταϊβάν θα έφερνε μόνο
καταστροφή στην Ταϊβάν... Είμαστε διατεθειμένοι να αφήσουμε ευρύ
περιθώριο για την ειρηνική επανένωση, αλλά δεν θα αφήσουμε κανέναν χώρο
για αποσχιστικές δραστηριότητες οποιασδήποτε μορφής». Η Ταϊβάν, όμως δεν δείχνει διάθεση να υπαχθεί στην διακυβέρνηση του Πεκίνου, και έχει ήδη ζητήσει την βοήθεια της Δύσης . Η Κίνα επίσης παίζει
σημαντικό ρόλο στην ανάκαμψη των οικονομιών της Ταϊβάν και της
Ταϊλάνδης, που στηρίζονται σε μεγάλο βαθμό στις εξαγωγές. Ελέγχοντας τις οικονομίες τους, ελέγχει στην ουσία αυτά τα δύο κράτη. Θα πρέπει η Δύση να εφαρμόσει ένα ειδικό εμπορικό καθεστώς εξαγωγών προς την Δύση για αυτές τις δύο χώρες.
Western regime change efforts have
intensified ahead of upcoming elections in Thailand. Opposition groups
attempting to take power and remove Thailand’s powerful, independent
military from Thai politics have received extensive, well-documented
funding and political support from Washington, London, Brussels, and
Western corporate foundations, including the most notorious of all –
George Soros’ Open Society Foundation (OSF).
One such front – Human Rights Watch
(HRW) – has recently released a report condemning upcoming elections as
undermining the “right to vote.”
To understand Soros-funded propaganda
published by HRW, one must first understand why Thailand has been
targeted for regime change in the first place.
Why Thailand?
The Southeast Asian Kingdom of Thailand
serves as a pivotal regional hub economically and geopolitically. It has
the second largest economy in ASEAN and remains the only Southeast Asian state to have avoided Western colonization.
While some analysts still cling to Cold
War-era stereotypes regarding Thailand’s role in the US-led war against
Vietnam, the country has since dramatically pivoted away from
Washington.
Thailand’s military in particular has
begun replacing its aging American weapons with Chinese, Russian, and
European weapons. This includes everything from small arms to Russian
Mi-17 transport helicopters, European warplanes, Chinese main battle
tanks and armored personnel carriers (APCs), and even Chinese-built
ships and submarines.
Thailand has also become a key partner
in China’s One Belt, One Road (OBOR) initiative. High-speed rail lines
are already under construction with proposals for the construction of
more lines entering final negotiations.
While Thailand – by necessity – still maintains
ties with the West, and Western allies like Japan – it is clear that it
has balanced out these ties – with the momentum of Thai foreign policy
tilting decisively in favor of Eurasia at Washington’s expense.
For all of these reasons and more, the
US has been involved in long-term regime change efforts in Thailand,
starting at least as early as 2001 with billionaire and former Carlyle
Group adviser Thaksin Shinawatra’s ascent into political power.
By 2001 it was already clear that
China’s rise regionally and globally was imminent and that the process
of encircling and containing Beijing had become a priority for US
foreign policy. Placing proxies like Thaksin Shinawatra into power in
Thailand was aimed at creating a unified front of US client states along
China’s peripheries.
Soros in Thailand
Geopolitical analyst Jean Perier’s article, “After Bleeding Thailand Dry, Soros is Going in for the Kill,”
provides a detailed history of the 1997 Southeast Asian financial
crisis and the role Soros’ financial speculation played in – first
precipitating it – then exploiting it. The crisis also created a vector
for Western political subversion.
Shinawatra’s rise to power in the wake
of the financial disaster was meant to rebuild Thailand according to
Washington’s designs. Shinawatra quickly consolidated political power,
attempting to built a one-party state under his and his Western
sponsors’ control.
He also took multiple steps toward transforming Thailand into a US client state – including committing Thai troops to the illegal US invasion of Iraq in 2003, inviting the US CIA to use Thai territory as part of its global “rendition program,” the privatization of Thailand’s national oil and gas conglomerate PTT, and an attempt to pass an unpopular US-Thai free trade agreement without parliamentary approval.
He also indulged deeply in a myriad of
human rights abuses and abuses of power, which eventually provided
Thailand’s institutions with a pretext to finally remove him from power
through a military coup in 2006.
While Shinawatra’s supporters –
including the Western media – claim charges of corruption against him
were politically motivated, Wikileaks in a published US diplomatic cable would
reveal the US Embassy itself as impressed at the scale of Shinawatra’s
corruption – especially in regards to his changing of foreign ownership
laws on the same day of his tax-free selling of stocks in his company to
Singaporean investors.
Despite the embassy’s admissions of
Shinawatra’s corruption, they still supported him and even noted that
the move would make it more likely foreign ownership laws could be
further liberalized, claiming:
The fact that the deal was structured to get around Thailand’s restrictions on foreign investment nevertheless raises serious questions about the investment climate in Thailand, and shows the limits of liberalization to date. The outcome to hope for going forward is that any domestic political debate about policy issues such as foreign ownership of telecom assets may put to rest some of the Thais fears of market liberalization, and by extension a Free Trade Agreement with the United States.
Since then, Shinawatra has been tried
and convicted of corruption and sentenced to 2 years in prison – a
sentence he has since evaded as a fugitive hiding abroad.
Shinawatra has tried to return to power
through various proxy regimes run openly by family members including his
brother-in-law Somchai Wongsawat who briefly served as prime minister
in 2008 before being removed by Thailand’s courts, and Shinawatra’s
sister – Yingluck Shinawatra – who served as prime minister from
2011-2014 until a second military coup removed her from power.
Soros and Company Seek Thaksin Shinawatra’s Return
Considering Shinawatra’s utility as a US
proxy and his enthusiastic attempt from 2001-2006 to transform Thailand
into a fully integrated US client state – it is obvious why the US and
its European and corporate partners seek to return him and his
associates to power.
It has, however, become an increasingly
uphill battle. While still able to swindle elections through overt
vote-buying upcountry and his regular use of organized terrorism,
Shinawatra himself through his serial political failures and upon asset
seizures by Thai courts – has gone from the 4th richest in Thailand to
19th. Impressive popular anti-Shinawatra protests in 2014 marked
unprecedented, nationwide opposition to his return to power – a
sentiment that will only likely to have grown since.
But even if he is unable to take power –
his ability to still divide and set Thailand back – including through
additional violence – likewise serves Washington and Wall Street’s
purpose of denying nations like China a viable partner.
Since Shinawatra’s ousting in 2006 – he
and an army of political opposition parties, supposed “rights” groups,
student “activists,” and media fronts have been openly backed by
Washington, London, and Brussels through direct political support and
lobbying, and through US-UK-European-funded NGOs (nongovernmental
organizations) – with virtually all of them at least partially funded by
George Soros’ Open Society Foundation.
Fronts regularly cited by the Western
media ahead of Thai elections funded by either Soros’ Open Society or
the US National Endowment for Democracy (NED) or both include media
fronts Prachatai, Isaan Record, and BenarNews.
Dubious “human rights” fronts include Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR) which both openly defends agitators protesting Thailand’s current government, as well as leads protests.
Other “human rights” fronts include Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International’s Thai branches, as well as the Thai Netizen Network, iLaw, and Fortify Rights (2017 annual report, PDF).
Future Forward: Shinawatra and Soros
There are also entire political parties
operating on behalf of Thaksin Shinawatra such as Future Forward which
include US and Soros-funded “activists” as “co-founders.”
Future Forward’s founder, nepotist
billionaire Thanathorn Jungrungreangkit, admitted to having supported
Thaksin Shinawatra’s political party in the past, as well as attending
his ultra-violent “red shirt” street mobs.
His co-founder, Piyabutr Saengkanokkul,
previously served as a lobbyist for Thaksin Shinawatra, holding “red
shirt” rallies at Thammasat University with Shinawatra’s paid lobbyist
Robert Amsterdam attending several events.
Future Forward’s other co-founders
include Nalutporn Krairiksh – concurrently working for US NED and
Soros-funded media front Prachatai. Chamnan Chanruang – also a Future
Forward co-founder – was previously “chairperson” of Soros-funded
Amnesty International, according to his own biography on Future Forward’s website.
Rangsiman Rome has also joined the ranks
of Future Forward. Rome was co-founder of the “Democracy Restoration
Group” and regularly organized protests with US NED and Soros-funded
TLHR member Anon Nampa, as well as Nuttaa ‘Bow’ Mahattana who was literally caught in bed with a senior member of Thaksin Shinawatra’s Pheu Thai Party.
Future Forward also includes former Shinawatra loyalists including ex-army general Pongskorn Rodchompoo – who was promoted during the Yingluck Shinawatra administration in a bid to gain leverage within the military.
The Bangkok Post in a 2015 article titled, “NSC deputy chief shunted to PM’s Office,” would report:
Lt Gen Pongsakorn was appointed to the NSC by then-prime minister Yingluck Shinawatra, moving from the Supreme Command, two years ago.
He followed the same route as Paradorn Pattanatabut, who was earlier removed from the NSC secretary general’s job by Gen Prayut to a similar position as adviser to the prime minister.
Pongsakorn Rodchompoo – a former Thai general – entering the ranks of Future Forward as “deputy leader” is particularly ironic considering Future Forward’s supposed opposition to military influence in Thai politics.
Future Forward’s Pannika Wanich previously worked for Voice TV – a media channel “owned” by Thaksin Shinawatra’s son, Panthongtae Shinawatra.
And Future Forward itself is ceaselessly
promoted by the myriad of US NED and Soros-funded fronts operating in
Thailand and abroad as well as by the Western media. The Foreign
Correspondents’ Club of Thailand (FCCT) – a conglomeration of the
largest Western media organizations operating in Thailand – organized an
event featuring various candidates including Future Forward’s leader,
Thanathorn J.
While other candidates were invited,
Thanathorn J. was singled out and promoted, particularly by the BBC’s
Jonathan Head who fielded softball questions that even when fumbled by
Thanathorn J., were in no way challenged or followed up. It is a pattern
that is reflected throughout the entirety of not only the BBC’s
coverage of Thailand’s upcoming elections, but across the entirety of
the Western media.
Regime Change
Future Forward is only one of several
proxy parties being promoted by the West as vectors of returning Thaksin
Shinawatra – and the interests he represents – back into power.
But Future Forward’s internal and
external factors fully illustrate how the US government through the
National Endowment for Democracy and private financiers like George
Soros and his Open Society Foundation are not only interfering in
Thailand’s internal political affairs and upcoming elections – they are
collectively creating and attempting to install into power an entire
political party.
Understanding the full geopolitical
context Thailand’s elections are unfolding within, it is possible to
return to Human Rights Watch’s recent report on Thailand’s elections
titled, “Thailand: Structural Flaws Subvert Election.”
In it, only a single mention is made of
Thaksin Shinawatra. His current role in running multiple parties to
return himself to power is entirely omitted. The fact that HRW
and the Thai opposition it is supporting are both funded by Soros via
Open Society is also conveniently omitted.
HRW’s accusations of Thailand’s military “subverting elections” is akin to accusing police arresting a convicted murderer of “kidnapping” by never mentioning the “kidnapped” is a convicted murderer.
In the same sense, HRW is citing
allegedly repressive measures amid Thai elections without mentioning
those targeted by such measures are working for Thaksin Shinawatra – a
convicted criminal and fugitive – and his foreign sponsors. His
participation in elections is both illegal and undemocratic, a fact
unmentioned by HRW and the army of foreign-funded agitators it serves in
the ranks of.
It is only through dishonest but
deliberate omissions of these facts that the West is able to meddle in
yet another election abroad and attempt to once again topple a
government impeding its own self-serving agenda in a nation thousands of
miles for its own shores.
Whether Western-backed regime change is
successful or not – Thailand’s political crisis will likely continue –
including another round of protests and counter-protests, deadly “color
revolution-style” violence, and possibly another intervention by
Thailand’s courts or military. Either way, it will at the very least
impede Thailand’s continued pivot from West to East and divert resources
away from the nation’s future development.
