And by extension, so is Cornell.
And therefore, so is Benedict Anderson.
And therefore, too, his brother, Perry Anderson.
And therefore the New Left Review.

It was first slow tracked, then later, when convenient, was fast tracked.
This is a typical tactic to use the power of the courts in politics. Leave these cases hanging over people to try to get them to do what you want. And if they don’t then bring the cases to trial.

Half true. there is now appreciable abysmal schism between people who simply want to lead a normal HUMAN live as described here who are majority but misled and manipulated by the others united to sell out the communal properties- land, mountains, trees, water (one of the richest in the world, irreplaceable resource), treasures in and around land, waters, end even air itself as well as human labor- for what they perceived to be the greatest one to have, like 4G and iPAD Air each and this and that game and ship, and planes, buildings rails, etc., etc., and killing implements. Incidentally the monumental increase in arms buying from a country with children dying everyday of starvation and young healthy women are counts as lucky to be Chinese slaves escape any mention or deserved condemnation.

Census taking is indeed a monumental and of course most fundamental and willful and calculated breach if human rights.
This Burmese one is stock taking by the new owners of their last conquest. So easy to sell in Burma which is led (in print, media and internet)by opinion makers who have been thoroughly brainwashed by fully paid trips and scholarships to all sorts of indoctrination courses around the world with suitable dinners and ceremonies,and are proud of it.
How does Ma Mya benefit simply because someone who wants to sell her stuff collects her intimate detail and use it among their own chums to exploit her?
Who is going to own the data? How does anyone know who is doing what with? Who indeed cares? Who owns it is the one who funds it. It is funded by indeed international business communities via their surrogate joints like UN or UYHRTHNKFG.
Troubles is for the Burmese, anything written in Pali is religious letter even if it is pornography, any one speaking English is highly educated, white people are rich and wise and any American / UK/ Australian education is to die for, and any thing done the name of UN or any of its gangs or ASEAN or any big and famous one is gospel.
It has long been assumed – following 2006 – that the next coup will be launched by the top brass, i.e. a straight top-down coup. I have my doubts about this. If you look closely at the pre-2006 history of Thai coups, they are much more like the stereotype military coup – i.e. launched primarily by lower-ranking officers, especially colonels (think Nasser, Gaddafi, etc.). Indeed, prior to 2006, Thailand’s Chulachomklao Military Academy was notorious as the “coup academy”, where rising younger officers learned how to overthrow their superiors at an opportune moment – to win promotion, just as their superiors had done. We may be about to see Thailand revert to this. I’m not ruling out a pro-Thaksin, pro-Crown Prince coup by younger officers – to hold the Nation together.
I wonder if anyone has been trying to find out what, if any, actions, other governments ( especially those which place particular stress on the importance of elected governments) have been quietly preparing to take now that so many elected governments in Thailand have been overthrown by one means or another? Or do they all follow the Chinese line of non-interference?
Pooket,
Probably more accurate to say that Yingluck tried to push the Amnesty Bill through and gave Suthep and friends an excuse to go after her.
I agree with your basic point that the slow timing for a fast track is another proof of the political nature of the decision.
What you’re missing is that similar charges have pending against Abhisit and his government since before 2011 and they are stuck on a back shelf. Also, this charge against Yingluck was not initiated until THIS year, after Thawil was reinstated to his NSC position.
That’s what’s meant by the charges against Yingluck being fast-tracked.
In the video, Blaxland says that they fast-tracked proceedings to have her removed. What does he mean by fast-tracked? These “egregious offenses” happened back in 2011. That’s roughly 3 years! Where’s the fast-tracking?
The fact that it took so long to bring this to trial shows that it was politically motivated. It’s like it wasn’t a problem until Yingluck tried to push the Amnesty Bill through and pissed off Suthep and friends.
Am I missing something or not understanding something?
Those behind this decision have two sources of power. One is oligarchic wealth. They are dragging the other source of their power into the mud.
The details may be different, but in using up trust and respect, leaving only the raw power of money, the Thai oligarchs and elite are not so different from their counterparts in the US or the EU.
This is a terrific and timely article mas Usman. Learning as much as possible about Jokowi’s association with military figures past and present is really important as we approach the presidential poll. If anyone else is researching this issue, please write about it, because Prabowo is banking on the fact that for many young Indonesian voters, Munir, East Timor and 1998 are already ancient history.

A coup by any other name…
The primeministership of Yingluck was terminated already, when parliament was dissolved.
A coup by any other name…
Bill Clinton was impeached. There were also strong political motivations in pushing the case forward.
Would you consider that an attempted coup?
A coup by any other name…

Thanks David. You are absolutely right and I am now in contact with some fellow 98 activists who are trying to write about this issue. Best, UH.
