RE: Bangkok Post article on African Drug Dealer Gangs in Thailand
Editorial by David Barkdull, Bangkok
Many will recognized this press release in Bangkok Post for what it is. The typical tripe spun periodically by a figure head when it is his or her turn to say something, anything at all to seem responsible and relevant on the topic of the day.
The poor Thai General guy has the thing prepared at his direction by an underling that may sound pretty good to the Thai people but when released to the world press in English is subject to many interpretations. Thailand’s former ONCB Chief is now Thailand’s current ONCB Chief and he admits his target rich environment has existed for years but now he is going to do something about it.
He begins by singling out the Africans. Then he drags his country’s rural women into this mess and is working to educated the ‘weaker’ sex into the dangers of marrying them and other foreigners. It is actually pretty funny but this yearly ritual to thin the Thai drug trade is anything but funny. The Thai Interior Ministry is going to hand out anti-African information along with condoms?
Can the good Thai General tell us why now the African drug dealers who have been operating ‘for years’ are now on his radar? He was the head guy for years while all this was going on right under his nose. What is new about watching entry points for drugs entering the Thailand? A few “perp walks” and we will move onto the next big thing. That simply may be that Christmas decorations will not be put up before October to save energy. TIT
