Jai yen: Thailand and Cambodia War of Dissolution

Thailand MUST NOT Fall for this. Implications are Final. Jai yen.

Quick post, sans edit:

Open combat is unfolding between Cambodia and Thailand.

A vast majority of so-called “analysts” are focused on the Preah Vihear Temple dispute.

To repeat, a vast majority of so-called “analysts” are focused on the Preah Vihear Temple dispute.

But this is not about Preah Vihear Temple.

This is about routes and resources. China practically owns Cambodia and Myanmar already. Routes and resources.

I first started writing about this more than ten years ago while my office was still in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I’ve spent significant time in every country on this map. Looking at these situations. Just last year, Masako Ganaha and I were with Al Johnson back on the Kra Isthmus of Thailand looking at the route China wishes to build to connect Gulf of Thailand with Andaman Sea.

This route will allow China to bypass Straits of Malacca.

For centuries, people have imagined a path over the Kra Isthmus of Thailand to bypass Malacca.

Likewise, four centuries of dreams and progress occurred before America opened the Panama Canal in 1914.

For Panama, many routes were examined in minute detail. Colombia, Panama, Nicaragua, Mexico. You may count those four countries and imagine four routes were examined. In reality, the entirety of Southern Mexico to North Colombia were examined. And finally many major candidate routes were examined in major detail.

After weeding through thousands of potential routes…it was down to this massive set to examine. And finally the current Panama Canal was decided and created.

I have an entire library with hundreds of old maps and many dozens of books including original final reconnaissance reports for Panama Canal. Massive amounts of work. The intense studies took generations to complete. Far longer than actually building the Canal.

Keep in mind…and this is very important…while America was making recons through the American Isthmus…our Navy was sailing around the world helping to map other routes and resources that would be part of the matrix. Example — we mapped Japan in great detail. Not so much about people but about resources such as gold and coal. Just near where I write these words is the major coal mine of Ikeshima. Now used in information war against Japan. Information war is everywhere.

Routes and resources.

Suez was open for business in 1869.

Back in 1853, 1854, Commodore Matthew Perry was mapping routes and resources in places like China, Japan, and Formosa. Stacks of detailed maps over the next several decades were mostly about routes and resources in places like Japan. But the Japanese were in the way.

These are Commodore Perry’s final reports to Congress in 1856. I bought this set in an antique bookstore in Japan. I spend much time in these pages.

You must spend great time inside these old books to understand what is happening today. “Analysis” unrooted to routes, resources, and history, are just feathers in the wind.

When Commodore Perry was steaming and sailing to Asia, he was reading old books he ordered translated from other languages such as Dutch and Portuguese. I write these words from Nagasaki. Where Dutch and Portuguese made much history long before Commodore Perry arrived.

Yesterday, Masako and I were at the Glover Garden here in Nagasaki. The Scotsman who would play massively in Japan’s future.

Routes. And resources.

The Scotsman Thomas Blake Glover came to Japan in 1859, just five years after Commodore Perry opened Japan through gunboat diplomacy.

Routes and resources.

Remember — Scotland went broke trying to make a path between the seas in Darien, Panama. Scotland joined England in 1707 in large part because Scotland was broke due to the Darien Scheme. Debt. Trapped. Scotland.

Panama is the Afghanistan of Central America. Countries go there to get rich. Most go broke. A few hit jackpot.

And thus, thanks to Scotland trying their hand at Panama, the Kingdom of Great Britain was formed. Later to be called United Kingdom. Globalism is a circle of life.

Thailand is the hyphen in Indo-Pacific security. Cambodia is caught in debt. Thailand still has economic legs. Thais and Thailand save in gold. And that’s no coincidence.

Back to SEA — Southeast Asia.

A war is being whipped up to destroy Thailand, and eventually Vietnam. China wants it all. American and British oligarchs are openly helping. I first wrote about American and British involvement in about 2014, though it has been going on far longer. There is also open angst being ginned up between Zionists and Thais.

In Thailand, I was deeply involved in covering the serious fighting in 2010 and 2014. Thousands of casualties. Those conflicts were designed to split Thailand but did not work. Thailand is extremely tough and resilient.

But that resilience itself is under attack. Intoxicants are a primary weapon. Example— suddenly over the past few years, thousands of licenses were handed out to sell cannabis across Thailand. Cannabis is an ultimate dumbing agent. Israelis are known for smoking mad amounts of cannabis. And it did not leave them peaceful. I say with much experience seeing this across India, Nepal, Thailand. The idea that cannabis makes people peaceful simply is false. Though it surely dumbs down the mind and makes the mind more influenceable. Thailand is being flooded with dopes such as cannabis. As is Argentina.

Bangkok 2024:

Thailand has been under drug attack for generations. But this time…the government itself is so captured that it issued licenses.

From 1879 — Grant’s papers on opium in Siam (Thailand):

Very few people study anthropological warfare. But those few who do realize how powerful drugs, music, and anthropology can be in the larger menus of weapons. The normal faux-analysts are now comparing Thailand’s military against Cambodia.

Thai’s military clearly is far stronger than Cambodia’s. But fire and steel are only a tiny piece of the larger weapons-set in this Great Game. To the point that I do not even consider the kinetic aspects of force-on-force between Cambodia and Thailand as major components of what is unfolding. Cambodia cannot beat Thailand militarily. But Cambodia can be used to bait and ambush Thailand in a far, far larger conflict that can ultimately leave Thailand shredded.

Thailand, like America, is increasingly less resilient against internal information attack. The intoxicants tsunami is a major weapon. And clue.

Cambodia is a proxy. Cambodians and Thais are being riled up.

Flash back over the Israel. Israel only exists in that location because of Suez Canal and other vital reasons. The Jews in Israel are mostly useful idiots on a much larger game. Pawns encouraged to move to Israel and to think they are Kings and Queens. Free land. A sort of new Dawes Roll.

The 07 October attack was a clear information operation. Hostages are key components for the ongoing genocide. The Zionists do not want the hostages back. The Zionists need the hostages as casus belli.

Atrocity porn is a major component of information war.


Information warfare is the highest form of warfare. Israeli dramas in Thailand are famous. Nobody smokes more dope than Israelis. Well, probably someone, but I don’t know who that would be. I’ve witnessed all these things with my own eyes:

Thailand is under attack from myriad avenues. I say again…atrocity porn is a major component of information war. Holocaust museums everywhere. And for years now someone has been riling a fight between Israelis and Thais. With Thais always seen as the bad guys.

Cambodia is a proxy for China. And major enemies are trying to turn the world against Thailand.

China is building the Funan-Techo Canal through Cambodia. The Canal reaches from Mekong River to Gulf of Thailand. This will make serious effects on Vietnam and others.

Meanwhile, China wants a route through Thailand’s Kra Isthmus. This allows China to bypass key bottlenecks such as Strait of Malacca and shorten routes. China and some Americans have enable Thaksin of Thailand to help divide Thailand.

Importantly — this is all the same war. Panama. Suez. Hormuz. Israel. Iran. Ukraine. Caspian. Nord Stream. Screw Worms. Fertilizer prices. Attacks on Japanese rice. COVID. Jabs. Colony Ridge near Houston, Texas…this is ALL THE SAME WAR. And much more.

No analyst can possibly get this right without looking at the globe, and through thousands of pages of history and old maps.

The information war to rile Cambodia and Thailand is intense. But much of this is clearly coming from OUTSIDE Thailand and Cambodia. I first wrote about this in about 2014.

Thailand must be destroyed for China and others to scurry over the bones. And for those who study war at much higher levels than mere F-16s and guns…and who are familiar with the human terrain…those few will realize that destruction of Thailand is possible. China wants all of Southeast Asia. Thailand and Vietnam are primary targets. This target-set eventually expands to Malaysia, Singapore, and obviously Indonesia. Not to mention Bangladesh. I’ve been to all these places looking.

Thailand MUST treat this with jai yen. Cool heart. To be drawn into this war while counting upon military prowess can spell the end of a beautiful Thailand. A country loved and respected by many people across the world.

Thailand must stay STRONG. Stay strong. Like Bamboo.

Now is a time for Jai Yen.


Be Thai. Be strong. Jai yen.
