Agent “C”

September 25, 2006

Revolutionary virus . . .

Yes, its spreading. From the Taiwan strait all the way to Bangkok, leadership change is coming into play. I call this, the AGENT "C" syndrome!

Governance in the new era has definitely evolved. No more elections. No more chances. Hostile takeover is now the pill of choice.

The events in Thailand was simply troubling. The military took over kicking out a leader the people perceived as corrupt. Just a thought, what happened to due process? In principle, is this the right way to go?

Activists will say, yes. Leftists will say, yes. Rightists will say, yes. Moderates might say, yes. But JP will say, NO!

Why? Well, this is the fire that will weaken the foundation of a nation. We all have to learn from history. Thailand has had 18 Military takeovers in 74 years. The stability of the nation is affected whenever the government is overthrown by the men in uniform. Take the Philippines for example. In 30 years, we have had alot of military adventurism with 2 coup having been successful. Just imagine the number ladies and gentlemen. People died, a nation struggled to get back. And up until now, we are all still haunted by our past.

Because of Agent "C" through the military, the condition of the state was placed in serious jeopardy. The future appears to be uncertain and insecurity comes along the way. This will lead to further instability and fear. Progress and development will stagnate resulting into an economic meltdown that will ruin the backbone that holds the nation together.

I do hope that the government institutions in Thailand be brought back up immediately. If not, it may bring serious consequences throughout the region. Let us all remember that the military doesn't have the capability to run a nation. People can argue with me on this one, but I would like to emphasize my point: SOLDIERS CANNOT LEAD CIVILIANS! They are not trained for this one.

AGENT "C", CATASTROPHE, the virus that can destroy us all . . .
