A Spanish’s words in anti-cnn about DemoCracy

A Spanish’s words in anti-cnn:

"I agree with everything you said. The problem is that Spanish people don’t have a real opinion about anything. They just sit in front of the TV and listen what they guy says, that’s how they “learn” about the world. If the guy says that China has killed 1 million Tibetans, they’ll believe it all. It is the same in most Western countries, but here it looks to be much worse. Western Democracy kills people’s brain.

We are supposed to live in absolute “freedom”. So… why should we doubt about our system? Isn’t it perfect freedom?? We are supposed to live in absolute “freedom of speech”. So… why should we doubt about what we read/watch on our “free media”? Etc, etc. Democracy has become a religion, and everybody must trust the democratic system, the tv and the newspapers. If you don’t… you hate freedom, lol. That’s why it is so easy to make the whole society to hate China. Fortunately, a very few of us love something out of the West too much, so that we can see that everything is a huge lie. In my case, I love China. Reading a lot about China and talking to Chinese friends made me seeing my Western world with another perspective. I realized tha the West isn’t better than China. The only difference is that we are economically developed. We are developed thanks to market economy, not thanks to democracy. Market economy makes countries rich, not democracy. After visiting China for study, I saw that people there has the same freedom as us. Maybe even more, as you can walk around at nights in China. In the West, you might be killed thanks to huge crime rates. Also, there is so few drugs in China. In the West, kills are offered all kind of drugs at school!! This is our Freedom!! In China you see so little violence on the TV. In the West, families (parents, kids, elders) enjoy their dinner while they watch terrible movies where people are raped, killed, etc with a lot of blood!! That’s why Westerners love wars and violence so much, because we are educated to accept all violence as normal on the TV every day. After China becomes a developed country, many, many Westerners will move to China, you’ll see… I’ll move to China as soon as I finish my studies if I can. After some years, I’m starting to feel something special. China is not only as good as the Western democracy, it might be even better. China is growing fast, developing fast, you have so many problems, I know. China has many huge problems, yea. But almost every big problem in China is caused by undevelopment, right? When you become a rich country almost every serious problem will be solved, true?.

Anyway, in almost every aspect China is far better than any “democratic” country with a similar level of development (India, Latin America,etc). I’m starting to believe that when China becomes a rich country it will be much better than the West in most aspects too. Listen to me, Chinese friends. Our “freedom” is a lie. In every Western country, most youngs take drugs and drink every weekend. Crime is huge. People don’t have any hope in the future. We know we are rich thanks to what we stole to the rest of the world in the last century. We know that after 50 years we will be nothing because China and other countries are growing a lot. Our system doesn’t work, it is a big lie, and nobody dares to speak and even to think about changing our beloved democracy. In Europe people don’t have kids, we wil be a continent of elders by 2050. Many foreigners are coming from everywhere, otherwise our countries would collapse. There is a lot of racism growing everywhere. When muslims want to build a temple, there are violent riots. Some European countries (including mine) want to BAN muslim clothes so that muslum girls can’t cover their hair. Is this freedom? In China nobody would ban this, never!"

Anti-CNN folks

This is the good one!

This Chinese website does not agree with everything CNN said. That's a good thing in this so-called democratic world.

http://www.anti-cnn.com for Chinese language

http://www.anti-cnn.com/forum/en/ for English language

Below is the picture that made CNN got caught red-handed with Thailand's Rohingya refugees issue right now.



The ship in the foreground was not Thai army's pal. And not even the right term was used - "Thai navy".

Later this picture was removed from CNN website. How cool is that?

Suvarnabhumi Airport Temporary Closed on July 16th 2007

You may wonder if Suvarnabhumi airport ever been closed before the incident at the end of year 2008? The answer is YES!

On July 16th 2007, the van gang who operated similar to airport taxi service blocked the road access to the airport and blocked the road in front of passenger building. The access to the airport has been disabled temporarily and the airport resumed it's operation after negotiation. The reason of the closing might came from the cleaning up of the airport corruptions after the coup took out the old power that shadowed over many many organization's management bodies.

Not many people remember that day or may not even know it happened.

So when yellow shirt PADs gathered at the airport and authorities were forced to close the airport, it was not the first time.

Suvarnabhumi Airport Temporary Closed on July 16th 2007
The following photographs were taken on that day just a minute before the time of closing.

Before Bangkok Election 2009


The pictures speak for itself. M.L. Nuttagone once said Bangkokians were stupid to vote for Rosana as Bkk's MP. Now it fires back to him.

นพ.เกรียง ตั้งสง่า
31 October 2008


Dear Sir,

In response to your article in October 16 AWSJ which was brought to
my attention recently, I would like to clarify a few points and
explain to you some facts pertinent to the present Thai political
turmoil. I am a 70 year old doctor with no political connections or
positions but with an absolute loyalty to the King. Proper
understanding and support from friends abroad will help Thailand
through these difficult times. Your opinion and assessment reflected
in that article deserve to be modified in the lights of the
following information I am privileged to share with you. I have always
held your publication in high regards and hope this information will
help the AWSJ maintain its unbiased position.

1. The King is indeed revered by Thai people. He has now recovered
from his illness and regained his former health. The photograph in
your article was taken the day he left hospital over a year ago and
I regret that it may be misleading. He has appeared in public on
numerous occasions since then..
For a more recent photograph, you may consider accessing the
archives of many local newspapers including the Bangkok Post. I am
sure that will better reflect his true state of health.

2. The law against offending the monarchy has been in our
constitution for over 75 years since the era of constitutional
monarchy began. Our King rules or exercises his power through
parliament, government, and the courts of law. These three
institutions have provided check and balance necessary to run the
country for 'the benefits of all Thai people' as proclaimed by the
King on his coronation over 60 years ago that ' I shall rule with
righteousness for the benefit of Thai people '.

3. In all these years, there was hardly any incidence of lese
majeste.. Those found guilty had received royal pardons, some after a
short time in jail. One of those is now a prominent member of the
now ; dissolved party headed by a former prime minister, Dr.Thaksin
Shinawatra. Banned from being involved in any political activities,
this man still runs a nightly television program on a government
channel attacking political opponents and organizing political
rallies that might escalate into widespread unrest in many parts of
the country.

4. Since Dr. Thaksin first became prime minister over 6 years ago,
there have been noticeably more cases of lese majeste. Most recent
ones were quoted in your article involving a former minister in a
Thaksin cabinet who took an oath of allegiance to the King before
taking office. Another one> was a female political activist who
committed the offence during a rally organized by Dr.Thaksin's
supporters. The last one was a man who refused to stand up while the
Royal Anthem was being played in a cinema, claiming human rights. All
three are being investigated before prosecution.

5. You will agree that we all have our rights but those rights
must be exercised within the boundaries of the laws. Foreign
visitors have always respected our laws as I expect you will do
should you visit our country. We Thais respect the laws of the
countries we visit without any exception or pay the price of not
doing so.

6. For your information, Thailand 's parliamentary democracy is
only 76 years of age and a lot of people do not understand its true
meaning nor do they understand their rights and responsibility
according to the constitution. A deliberate misunderstandi ng seems
to prevail among most politicians that being elected means a
privilege to positions of power and financial gains through corrupt
practices.

7. Mr. Thaksin's rise to power opened up an era of corruption the
magnitude of which has never been seen before. Populist policies,
conflict of interests in businesses, tax evasion, undisclosed share
holdings, money laundering and sacrificing national interests for>
business gains have all destroyed Thai society's moral values.

8. This slippery slope towards "absolute oligarchy" was slowed
down in September 2006 when Dr. Thaksin was ousted from power before
he could continue to undermine the monarchy by parliamentary
dictatorship.

9. Throughout all this, Thailand 's fragile democracy (according to
you) has been held together by the King's infinite tolerance, wisdom,
and forgiveness. The cash rich populists you mentioned has seized the
present turmoil to completely polarize Thai society, destabilize our>
economy, and undermine the monarchy.

Your article may have misled a lot of people both at home and
abroad. Genuine concerns may lead to violent confrontations and
anarchy. Then will be the time that the so called cash rich populists
will claim legitimacy in taking over the country for their own gains.
Those promises to our honest, peaceable and hard working farmers and
industrial workers will soon be forgotten. Financial credibility,
business sector's integrity and the professionali sm of our civil
servants will rapidly decline. All because of the complete disregard
for moral values and responsibility of most politicians presently in
power and backed by money from abroad.

I hope my opinion as outlined above will receive due attention and
past on to the public in a responsible way that is expected of a
respectable publication such as AWSJ. I look forward to receiving
your early response.

Yours sincerely,

Prasit Futrakul
