NEW Thai Generation V.S. NEW Imperialism

GOOD AFTERNOON TO ALL FROM BANGKOK.

AS YOU KNOW, THAI PEOPLE ARE ENTERING OURSELVES INTO THE NEXT STAGE OF "HIGHLY CRITICAL" POLITICAL-ECONOMIC SITUATION...AND IT WOULD BE A MATTER OF TIME & SPACE THAT MOST OF US WOULD LEARN AGAIN SOME HARD LESSONS..THAT IT MIGHT BE ALL TOO LATE.

MY CONCERN IS ON THE NEW THAI GENERATION, WHOSE AGE ARE BETWEEN 15-35 YEARS OLD.

THE IMMEDIATE QUESTION THAT COMES TO MY MIND IS...

"ARE THEY AWARE OF THE NEW IMPERIALISM, THAT IS CREEPING INTO THEIR LIVES W/O REALIZING?"

THIS IMPERIALISM IS REAL, AND UNCLE THAK WOULD LIKELY TO INTRODUCE THE NEW PHRASE OF IT.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have spent my 2-3 days of arrival, at various places...and catching up with Uncle Thak's movements through the news- but my great concern is not on Uncle Thak, especially why should I worry on the multi-billion dollar ex-premier, with all the security guards around- and his time spent at one grand five-star hotel in Bangkok.

Though I must admit that the hype of "the public emotion" on Uncle Thak had been overwhelemed- that it seemed like some kind of disease, that the media had bred to our youth and the young generation.

Let's forget on the mature older adults, who might fall for the trap- for whatever reasons that the ex-premier had prayed the ground, after exiting the VIP lounge...and the cry, cry...sob, sob...in front of hundreds of waiting media cameras.

MUST I SAY, THE YOUNG THAIS OF TODAY ARE ALREADY LOST IN THE JUNGLE! HOWEVER- I HAVE WITNESSED SEVERAL NEWS REPORTED IN FAVOR, OF UNCLE THAK AND HIS ARRIVAL...ESPECIALLY.

DID THESE REPORTERS REALIZE THAT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THEIR JOB TO MAKE REPORT OBJECTIVELY, AND WITH ALL THE DETAILS PAST-PRESENT-AND FUTURE- THAN TO BE CATCHY ON THE 5-10 SECOND SEEMINGLY EMOTIONAL SCENE.

ANY HOW, BLESS BE THE THAI YOUTH...THEY MIGHT NOT KNOW WHAT IS COMING UP IN THE NEXT 3-5 YEARS!

"THE BIG BROTHER" IS ALREADY HERE- ESPECIALLY AT THE TIME WHEN MOST OF OUR YOUTH IS LOST, WHEN THEIR PARENTS TOO ARE LOST.

I HAVE BEEN BACK FROM THE STATES FOR 3 DAYS, AND I AM FEELING THAT OUR THAI YOUTH ARE MORE AND MORE LOSING TOUCH WITH MOST REALITY.

I have the feelings  from the people and friends that I have met that presently most Thais DO NOT WANT TO KNOW...WHAT IS REAL!

ECONOMICALLY & POLITICALLY...somehow, it might be all too painful for them- while the VIRTUAL AND ENTERTAINMENT WORLD SEEMS MORE APPEALING!

BUT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK MOST THE THAIS..."NOT TO GIVE UP!!", FOR THE SAKE OF OUR NEW THAI GENERATION.

"THE BIG BROTHER" IS HERE! HE IS WILLING TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU ALL, AS THE THAI NATIONALS...

HIS ULTIMATE CRAVE...IS THE SMELL OF MONEY- AND HE WOULD LEAVE ALL THAIS ASTRAYED WITH HIS POLITICAL ALLIANCES WORLDWIDE..."LONDON", WOULD STILL BE ANOTHER HOME TOWN FOR HIM & HIS FAMILY.

IN THE END, THE NEW THAI GENERATION WOULD SUFFER...SEVERELY.

IT ALSO DOESN'T MATTER HOW WELL, THESE NEW GENERATION HAVE BEEN EDUCATED, OR WHAT SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS THEY ARE...ALL WOULD HAVE TO PUT UP WITH THE SHARE OF YET ANOTHER SHAMEFUL THAI, "BIZ-POLITICAL" HISTORY.

PS- AS THE YOUTH IS ONLY OUR HOPE FOR THE FUTURE>>>WHAT HOPE DO WE HAVE WITH ANOTHER PHRASE OF IMPERIALISM TAKING OVER?

Peace.
