Thaksin Shinawatra, bibliography, more facts than wikipedia

• Thaksin Shinawatra got rich by briberies of military junta, led by Gen.Sunthorn Kongsompong back in 1990. By winning the only single national satellite concession, Thaksin got monopoly on the national telecommunication business. He then bought corrupt politicians who are good at vote-buying to consolidate into a single TRT party which committed extensive electoral frauds to win the house. With near absolute majority, Thaksin went on to be a full blown civilian dictator.
  
  
• Between 2001 to 2006, Thaksin abused his power to corrupt even more. Media were repressed. Unaccountable deaths went up to three thousands. Muslims were violated and massacred. Thaksin abused power, trading off the national benefits for his own wealth. He stealthily hid money outside Thailand. Later, in self-made exile he bought Manchester city football club worth of 200 million USD out of his hidden dirty money.
  
  
• During his reign of repression and corruption, Hitler-like-demagogic Thaksin, on the one hand bribed the rural poors with populism, just like Peron of Argentina, while on the other hand made a lot of tricks to bribe, tip and threat on the media, the police, the Electoral Committee and the Senate House to cripple the check and balance mechanisms.

• To damp the rise-up of the yellow PAD, PM Thaksin then secretly organized rural support as armed and violent red mobs to crush PAD, the yellow-shirts. In prevention of bloodshed on streets, Gen.Sondhi Boonyaratklin, army chief then, staged a successful bloodless coup, while Thaksin was in New York. It toppled Thaksin on September 19, 2006 and started fair trials of Thaksin in the long-existing Court of Laws. A new strict 2007 constitution passed the national referendum and the general election was held at the end of 2007. Thaksin stepped aside on his self-made exile to U.K. but still masterminded disturbances and vote-buying in Thailand.
  
  
  
• He decided to come back to Thailand in February 2008 when his puppet House Speaker, Chai Chidchob and his puppet government of People's Power Party won the house and he was so sure that he could manipulate the justice to pardon him. However, after his three lawyers were jailed of guilty of bribing in the Supreme Court and his wife-then, Potjaman, in the criminal court of the first instance, was sentenced to jail for two years, because of huge tax frauds, the Shinawatras, alarmingly jumped bail and fled to U.K. in August 2008. Later Britiain revoked Thaksin's visa to enter U.K. as he becomes a fugitive criminal.
  
  
• During 2008, PPP led by (the late) PM Samak Sundravej was trying to amend the constitution to pardon Thaksin. PAD rallied for 193 days against the unjust moves. Samak was found guilty of committing conflicts of interests in the Constitutional Court and dismissed. Thaksin ordered another puppet Somchai Wongsawat, his brother-in-law to lead PPP.
  
  
  
• In November 2008, PPP under PM Somchai then, was disbanded after guilty of major electoral frauds. PPP then transformed into a new puppet Pua Thai party but lost coalition majority to the opponent Democrat party under Abhisit Vejjajiva who became the current PM against Thaksin. Thaksin and his hired red-shirt army shamelessly lies that PM Abhisit is undemocratic, despite of having originated under the same laws, the same election, and the same House as his own two puppet governments. Thaksin is now conspiring both in the parliament, on the streets and internationally, with propaganda, sabotages and terrorisms, to overturn the democratically elected PM Abhisit government.
  
  
• Being very coward fugitive criminal, Thaksin is living on a private jet ready to take off, in hiding from interpol with illegal passports in UAE, Fiji, Montenegro, Nicaragua, Uganda, Liberia, Cambodia or some other undemocratic nations. His present wicked wishes, as he still has his billions dollars on off-shore islands, are to hire proxy troublemakers to cause havocs to his homeland, to undermine the Monarchy in order to force amnesty and to unfreeze the assets worth of 2 billion USD back in Thailand.
