Thaksin’s [BUSINESS] GOALs:
Thaksin is now using money to order the “red shirt” protesters aiming to topple the current Thai government in order to dissolve the parliament and negotiating to free him so that he could go back and gain the power in Thailand again. Then, with the power of money and media, Thaksin and his staff plan to change the laws and policies influencing some Thai people and preparing to take control of the country.
They have tried to mislead people and bring Thai king to a subject in the media. They want Thai king to step down so that Thaksin can be the owner of Thailand as a founder of a new business – new Thailand as they claimed. That is his core purpose. In fact, Thai king doesn’t have a power in Thai politics and he is not like a god. King Bhumibol, unlike Thaksin, is a real good person working tirelessly to help Thai people since he was crowned in 1950. There are many evidences here. Thus, almost all 100% of people in Thailand love him though some might be red-shirt supporters.

Giving money to the red-shirt supporters up to 2,000 Thai Baht per person, heading to Bangkok. Now, there is a rally in Bangkok, Thailand.

She said, “I’m here because I’m poor…that is why I support the red shirt.”<<< Some red-shirt supporters are innocence people who just follow the community to fight for the “red cash” – not really a democracy as they claim. Most are bought to fight and many believe in a false logic that Thaksin can help fix the financial problem. Thaksin and red-shirt leaders are like a mastermind. They have been using communication, such as the social media and print, as a tool to mislead many people in the rural areas for years.
POLICY CORRUPTION
In fact, many of the local policies used in Thaksin’s government are termed as “policy corruption” implemented based on this model:
- Step1: Creating new policies (for corruption, and not practical), using a simple logic (unreal) to promote and build a good credit to the government. At this point, many people were excited to hear about the new projects and thought that the government had worked very hard for them. Some people received this information as in the news without analyzing or searching for the details. With a dream concept of modernization, they have had some young supporters here. Thaksin is a hero for them.
- Step2: Now, the existing systems were temporarily changed to favor some, and here was where poor people really fell into the trap. Since most people here are low-income and blue-collar workers, they can simply see a short-term benefit or cash as a great benefit for today living. These innocence people seemed to enjoy a very short-term benefit which is, in fact, not really good for them and the country in a long run. Many analysts have mentioned. However, Thaksin’s government could get many votes from the poor people because of this.
- Step3: Later, Thaksin’s government had changed the dream policies back and changed some other policies, such as tax policies to protect their illegal activities and yet to gain a lot of profits in businesses. Then they claimed that the anti-government in yellow shirts forced them to change, and so on.
SUPREME COURT
In fact, their policies are not practical and illegal as the Supreme Court has recently ruled that Thaksin concealed his assets while in office and abused his power for personal gain. Once again, he doesn’t want to accept the truth and blame the court, convincing red-shirt people to protest fighting for the justice.

THE RALLY in BANGKOK
Then the red-shirt leaders have created a momentum from this event trying to do something more violence. Now, the red-shirt people are all over in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, for anti-government rally. From the investigation, the current Thai government knows that Thaksin and his team have planned to create violence. The plan, controlled directly by Mr. Thaksin, has 3 main steps of command:
1.) Marching peacefully first (March 12-13, 2010).
2.) If the Thai government disagrees to step down, they will be more aggressive (March 14-15, 2010).
3.) Finally, they are going to do some violence, burning the city and destroying the country next week.
VIOLENCE?
Today (March 13, 2010), we found hundred homemade M79 grenade launchers at an auto parts maker in Ayutthaya’s Wang Noi district, Thailand. This is still under investigation which many believe that it’s related to the plan step 2 and 3 because it’s located on the way that red-shirt people have passed heading to the capital.

DUBAI and THAKSIN
Since there are many evidences like this, Dubai are now officially forcing Mr.Thaksin out of the country. They don’t want him to use their country as his headquarter though they may need his investment to help recover the financial problem in Dubai. [Foreign reporters should update this.]
Right now, people are still not 100% sure where he is heading to after leaving Dubai. Anyway, Panich Vikitsreth, Vice Minister for Foreign Affairs said that Thaksin has left Dubai and is expected to join his daughters in Switzerland. (Their family members knew about the plan and had left Thailand a few days before the rally.)

SECURITY & THE REACTION OF THE GOVERNMENT
Is this what they call a peace?
Therefore, this is a very critical issue and the government of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has to increase the security in Thailand to ensuring the public safety. However, the Thai government is also trying to use some media, such as Facebook, Twitter, website and television as a method to prevent the violence in a peaceful way too. It’s a good Psychology. Many Thais are also posting to update the situation in real time there.

In Vejajiva’s Facebook page, he always states that everyone has a right to think differently, but in a peaceful way. Most of Thai people on many pages in Facebook mention in the comments that they are not red or yellow shirt, and all they want to see is the love of Thai people and the peace, not violence.

THE THAI GOVERNMENT
Without any bias, many international analysts have recently agreed that the government of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has done a really great job in recovering the economics. For example, Thai Finance Minister Korn Chatikavanij has been awarded “Finance Minister of the Year 2010″ for both global and Asia Pacific regions by the Banker magazine of the Financial Times.

THE FUTURE
We must also accept the truth that this Thai government has to face many other problems in Thai politics, such as the rally today. Thaksin has been trying to discredit the government too. Once he mentioned that “those two kids” (PM and the finance minister) would not be able to recover the economy. In fact, as shown in the evidences, Thaksin is wrong.
Now, the outside investors may feel unsecured doing businesses with Thailand because of the current situation. The rate of tourists may decrease. However, if the government can control the situation in Bangkok today and next week, the author strongly believes that, with a genius team and a great leadership of Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, Thailand will be able to gain the trust back. More people are supporting the government right now.
