US “Pivot” Stumbles in Thailand

Tony Cartalucci

Months after the May 22, 2014 military coup that ousted the regime of Thaksin Shinawatra, the military-led government has been working in earnest to uproot the Shinawatra political machine as well as realign the Kingdom’s foreign policy to represent a better balance between China’s rising power and the West’s waning but meddlesome influence. 

Uprooting the West’s Unwarranted Influence

The regime of Thaksin Shinawatra, led by nepotist proxy via his own sister, Yingluck Shinawatra, represented an inequity between this balance.

Hypocrisy: Syria Burns While Mass Murdering Dictator Roams Freely in USA

US coddles fugitive mass-murdering Thai dictator while berating Syria in its desperate fight against Al Qaeda.

Starting in February 2003, and over the course of 3 months, some 2,800 people (approximately 30 a day) would be extra-judicially murdered in the cities and countrysides of Southeast Asia's Thailand. Accused of being "drug dealers," they were systematically exterminated based on "hit lists" compiled by police given carte blanche by then Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra (a former police bureaucrat himself). It would later be determined by official investigations that over half of those killed had nothing to do with the drug trade in any way. Human Rights Watch (HRW) would confirm this in their 2008 report titled, "Thailand’s 'war on drugs'," a follow up to the much more extensive 2004 report, "Not Enough Graves."

Image: "The Thai Gov'ts War on Drugs: Dead Wrong. Stop the Murder of Thai Drug Users." During Thaksin Shinwatra's 2003 "War on Drugs" it wasn't only drug users who were brutually, extra-judicially murdered in the streets, but over 50% of the 2,800 killed during the course of 3 months, were completely innocent, involved in no way with either drug use or trade. Thaksin Shinwatra, with the blood of 2,800 people on his hands, is now traveling freely throughout the United States with a US visa in hand.

In essence a vast, nationwide campaign of mass murder was carried out, and to this day the man responsible, Thaksin Shinawatra, has never been charged by either Thai officials or international bodies.

The Economist Issues Warning

Thailand warned to keep hands off its own elections.

Bangkok, Thailand July 1, 2011 - While many may believe the Economist is a reputable news publication, it is in reality a clearinghouse for the global corporatacracy and their illegitimate agenda. The Economist itself admitted to consorting with the global-elite at various venues including the annual, illegal Bilderberg meeting. And while many may rush to their defense, claiming such consorting is innocuous, the constant litany of self-serving, agenda peddling articles it turns out suggests differently. No piece better exemplifies this than their latest article, "Hands off the result." Describing Thailand's upcoming July 3 elections, the Economist considers the country as good as in the hands of the foreign-backed opposition party, and instructs the current Thai government to "behave as a loyal opposition."

What the Economist conveniently omits is the fact that the opposition party in Thailand, Peua Thai, is led by convicted criminal, Dubai-based fugitive, and globalist-stooge Thaksin Shinawatra. While the Economist claims that Thaksin's sister, who is running in his place, "is running a slick and brilliant campaign," the reality is she is simply a place holder with the campaign slogan reduced literally to, "Thaksin thinks, Peua Thai does."

Photo: While many try to suggest that Thailand's opposition, Peua Thai, is removed from Thaksin, his own sister is running the party in his place and their 2011 campaign slogan literally is, "Thaksin thinks, Peua Thai does." The Economist then suggests that the Thai government should keep its "hands off the results," and allow a convicted criminal, who is currently evading 2 years of jail time to simply seize back the nation through an obvious proxy party.

Globalists Fueling Unrest in Thailand

Same organizations, same rhetoric, same globalist agenda, different country.

Bangkok, Thailand May 17, 2011 - In Egypt before the January 2011 globalist-funded mobs took to the streets destabilizing the country and making way forMohamed ElBaradei to worm his way into power, he spent the preceding year building up his street mobsand his political front, while his globalist sponsorsbegan setting the rhetorical stage. Under the radar of most of the world, ElBaradei and his "National Front for Change" had all the ingredients of a festering foreign-backed color revolution. His membership upon the globalist International Crisis Group should have been a warning to all geopolitical analysts, and was a feature overlooked by many even after the color revolution was well underway from January onward. What if the alternative media noticed and began reporting on this nefarious gambit a year, or even months before the "Arab Spring" unfolded?

Perhaps Egypt was a missed opportunity to expose and thus balk the globalist agenda. However, highly contested elections are preceding the next phase of yet another globalist-fueled gambit, this time in Southeast Asia's Thailand. It bears all the hallmarks of ElBaradei's disingenuous campaign and run-up to the color revolution in Egypt. With the facts in hand, there is a possibility to raise awareness, get ahead of and balk yet another wave of globalist-sponsored geopolitical destabilization.

Self-Aggrandizing: Globalist-funded Prachatai the Recipient of Globalist-funded Prize

Bangkok, Thailand May 14, 2011 - As true evidence that the power and legitimacy behind the global corporate-financier oligarchy is nothing but absolute theater, Thailand's "Prachatai," a National Endowment for Democracy funded propaganda outlet serving the agenda of globalist Thaksin Shinawatra and his "red" color revolution, has just been "bestowed" the International Women's Media Foundation "Courage in Journalism Award."

Prachatai's webmaster, Chiranuch Premchaiporn, along with Adela Navarro Bello of Mexico, and Parisa Hafezi of Iran are described as having "shown extraordinary dedication covering violence, corruption and social unrest in their countries."

Color Revolution's Mystery Gunmen

Bangkok, Thailand April 24, 2011 - Imagine you are an embattled regime fighting against a rising tide of foreign-funded protesters. The entire world is watching, one nation is already under creeping foreign invasionfor "waging war against his own people," your nationhas been warned that it is next and has been on a 20 year waiting list for regime change, and your opposition is gathering to bury dead protesters from a recent clash with security forces. What do you do?

Stage concealed snipers in multiple buildings and randomly shoot at mourners ensuring a very public, internationally sensationalized bloodbath that will unequivocally escalate both the protests and international pressure? Bashar al-Assad's regime hasn't ruled Syria for so long because they were careless or foolish. And while regimes could stay in power decades ago through unyielding brutality, often sanctioned by tacitly complicit western partners, regimes today realize the value of finesse and accountability in a new age of humanitarian-justified imperialism.

AlJazeera's article, "'Nine killed' at Syria funeral processions," once again relies solely on eyewitness accounts, many of which are claimed to be "anonymous," to tell the story of a brutal Syrian government crackdown. After AlJazeera's blatant lies and exaggerations during the Egyptian protests, rivaled only by BBC's intellectual dishonesty, these reports must be taken with a grain of salt. However, as with the recent massacres in Yemen and previous funeral processions in Syria, protesters cited mysterious snipers, assumed to be government forces, on rooftops randomly shooting at mourners gathered around the country. The government maintains that "an unknown "armed group" on rooftops shot at protesters and security forces."

Warning Signs Over Old Siam

Wall Street Journal article signaling uptick in Thai-globalist agenda.

Thailand's army has recently been flexing its military might, but
to what end? The globalists make their predictable suggestions.

Bangkok, Thailand April 22, 2011 - The Thai armed forces have this week been carrying out a series of military exercises across the country in a show of strength. With one particular exercise taking place in Thailand's capital of Bangkok, one must wonder what sort of security threat requires a mechanized army in the heart of the nation, far from any of its borders?


The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) offers up one possible answer in an article written by Pavin Chachavalpongpun of the globalist funded Institute of Southeast Asian Studies* titled "Thailand's Military on the Offensive."

Over The Target . . . And Catching Flak

If you aren't catching flak, you aren't over the target. Wear
your enemy's attacks like a badge of honor.

Bangkok, Thailand April 20, 2011 - You know you're message is getting out there when National Endowment for Democracy funded "independent media" outlets are writing hit pieces on you. The article titled, "Just a Lousy Journalist?," featured on Thailand's NED funded Prachatai propaganda clearinghouse makes numerous claims about Land Destroyer's journalistic integrity and in particular, states that globalist connections within the current Thai government are never mentioned.

Screenshot from NED's official website listing Prachatai as a recipient
of 1.5 million baht, or 50,000 USD as of 2009. (Click to enlarge.)

Prachatai nominated in 2011 for a Bobs Award by Freedom House, 
chaired by Kenneth Adelman, a former lobbyist for Thaksin Shinwatra.

Of course this, like the entire hit piece, and most of the articles featured on "Prachatai," strays woefully far from the truth. The proof is irrefutable. In an August 25, 2010 Land Destroyer article titled, "Asian Economic Community by 2015," nearly every "glaring omission" Gerrard Winstanley's article accuses Land Destroyer of skipping past can be found there within:

Soros and Brzezinski Talking Thai: International Crisis Group shines spotlight on Thailand

Bangkok, Thailand April 12, 2011 - As International Crisis Group (ICG) member Mohamed ElBaradei wrestles with 80 million Egyptians for control of their country, stooping as low as to threaten war with Israel in a feeble attempt to score political points - his fellow trustees are expressing their ambitions elsewhere, including helping IMF operative Alassane Ouattara butcher his way into office via international armed intervention in the Ivory Coast. They are also fixated on the power struggle disguised as a "democracy movement" in Thailand.

To understand why it is important to consider what the ICG is saying it is important to note that within the ICG, globalist banker George Soros sits as a trustee along with Wesley Clark and Kenneth Adelman, while geopolitical manipulator Zbiginiew Brzezinski and Neo-Conservative Richard Armitage sit in as advisers among many others.

Behind this unsavory convergence of ambition are equally unsavory corporate and foundation sponsors including the Carnegie Corporation of New York, Open Society Institute, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank Group, Soros Fund Management LLC, Chevron, and Royal Dutch Shell. In Thailand's case in particular the political upheaval centers around one multinational corporate-backed billionaire, Thaksin Shinwatra who tried and failed to ramrod through a US-Thai FTA before being ushered out of power in 2006. Many of the corporations that stood to gain from the US-Thai FTA (listed here on page 8) are also well involved in the many groups not only still supporting Thaksin's bid for power, but an entire global agenda of military and economic hegemony.
