Who really knows why and how many of the 100,000s number of expatriates in Thailand dislike the Red Shirts (picture above, Red Shirts protest blocks traffic in Bangkok business district at dusk).
But when a popular expatriate at a popular forum board for expatriates said he wished the Thai military would kill more Red Shirts, when another famous expatiate say that if the Red Shirts set up another stage, he would go and tear it down personally and also, and when a popular expatriate blogger start to compare a Red Shirts with Bin Ladden-all of that is more than insanity-but it is real attitudes.
Then a famous global class investor who calls Thailand home, says so many things that points to nothing but hated of the Red Shirts and Taksin-many expatriate here in Thailand and globally, listens to that icon of investor-and follow his reasoning-however insane it sounds.
Then Thai Intel ran into a Japanese expatriate on Twitter-and he blasted away at the Red Shirts-to which Thai Intel would add, that Japanese expatriate, knows very little of any facts about the Red Shirt, Pheu Thai Party, Taksin or Yingluck at all-meaning it is just hatred and prejudices based on some uttle belief that is not factual.
All of that insanity, while can be brushed off, more often than not, it can not-as all the insane opinions gets propagated globally-to even major news organizations.
Time Magazine recently had an article on the Red Shirts, blasting away by saying that the Thai Red Shirts are an insult to the Middle East up-rising-and for much of that article, the Time Magazine writer, dedicated space to how much the Red Shirts protest had disrupted the life of foreign expatriates in Bangkok.
There are many theory why expatriates, from advance open democratic society comes to be a part of the far extreme right in Thailand. Inconvienences, disruption of business and many other-are some of the theory.
The following is the theory from Francis Yee, a Singaporean analyst-that Thai Intel likes the most:
Thailand can only be ruled in peace and unity under democracy, that is the nature of Thailand and when they do that, it becomes very difficult for expatriates. But when the Nazi in Thailand starts killing the Jews, the winner is the Americans.”
What Francis mean is that the royalist, elite and military rulers in Thailand are the Nazi and the Jews are the people fighting for democracy, liberty and justice. And the Americans here, Francis means the expatriates.
Is there any doubt at all, that when Thailand is in crisis, it is fundamentally weak and easily exploited-as Thailand literally goes on sale for the deep pocketed foreign investors and business people, and the Thai people becomes blinded and dumb with all the censorship, and also down and out with repression?
Francis did not talk about how the royalist, elite and military rulers of Thailand feeds the expatriate community. But no doubt, the trail of money in Thailand leads to expatriates identifying themselves with those in control of money in Thailand.
Who controls the money in Thailand? The royalist, elite and military rulers of Thailand off course.
