A Quick Fix - Thailand

Dec 2003
Thousands of innocent people are being murdered in 'Silent Killings' as the Thai authorities continue their hard-line war on drugs

The Prime Minister's promise to the King to eradicate drug use was a promise he needed to keep. In order to crackdown on the 3 million amphetamine users in Thailand, the authorities have resorted to ruthless strategies. Thousands of 'blacklisted' people have been killed and any evidence implicating the police destroyed. General Sant stands by the bodies of three dead people found with a stash of drugs. It is a wonderful photo opportunity. "This is war! We won't shoot at people until they shoot at us." he claims. Yet people are beginning to think differently. Scientific investigations are hindered as innocents die daily.

Thaksin reacted like the megalomaniac he is. His promise to the King to rid Thailand of drugs in 3 months was the promise of a madman. Just like he promised to rid Bangkok of traffic jams in 6 months. None of the big fish were caught in those days, just poor drug peddlers and users.

hahahahaha. I'm guess the king didn't get his birthday present!

All the drugs in the country. that is a joke. Even if you did collect all the drugs, within 12 hours they would be seeping back into every part of the country again.

@Freeskies This video was about interesting subject and good to see a pro report about the grazyness going on in Thailand.

On your comment: She can do whatever she wants with her body in Thailand and I am happy your attitude cannot deny her this. She may not be the sexy beast, but there is this classy beauty in her.

I am happy to listen&look at her clear speech, which makes her a good reporter in my mind.

lol'd

You sound like an illuminati conspiracy theorist. Nothing against it, but the us is obviously corrupt and much more powerful than the UK. You're just restating the obvious is a more arrogant and obnoxious manner.

Thanks for nothing, don't take this too personally.
