[P2P-F] Self-Sufficiency: a universal solution to the globalistproblem.

[michael gurstein]

Would it be reasonable to say that these views are highly exploitative when
they are imposed top down (the Juiche position of Kim Il sung seems somewhat
similar) but non-exploitive, in fact a very desireable goal when it is
bottom up.

I sent this to my mail list and asked for comment from two members fluent in
thai who have been living there a long time.  I asked there opinion.  They
both replied that if they gave their opinion they would wind up jailed.  One
is economically well to do the other is not..... i have met both in person
in thailand.  The one who is not well to do i married to a thai and lives in
a thai village a LONG way away from bangkok. 

There is no freedom of speech whatsoever in Thailand.  My perception is that
there  are two sets of elites.... one tied to the monarchy the other to
thaksin and that neither likes this program.  Michele lives there of course
so he would know, but again remember that there are big risks in talking
about Thai politics.  even on mail lists.  My perception is and i spent  10
days there in march of 2010 is that thais outside of bangkok and  perhaps
many within.... would say that  you very much we are self sufficient and
don't need any help from the higher ups.  and further that they view this as
exploitative.

Self-Sufficiency: a universal solution to the globalist problem. 
For an extreme in-depth look at Thailand's "Sufficiency Economy" and "New
Theory" economics, please see, "Wisdom
<http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2011/07/wisdom-from-orient-self-sufficien
cy.html> from the Orient: Self-Sufficiency."

y.html

excerpts :

Thailand's Answer to the Globalization


The foundation of the self-sufficiency economy is simply growing your own
garden and providing yourself with your own food. This is portrayed on the
back right-hand side of every 1,000 baht Thai banknote as a picture of a
woman tending her garden. The next step is producing surplus that can be
traded for income, which in turn can be used to purchase technology to
further enhance your ability to sustain yourself and improve your
life-style.

...

Under the "New Theory," demonstration stations all across Thailand have been
created promoting education in matters of agriculture and self-sufficient
living. The program is competing against the contemporary globalist system,
which as of now, is mired in many parts of the world with economic meltdown.
The relatively self-sufficient nature of Thais in general has weathered this
economic chaos fairly well. In 10 years, a plate of food still costs the
same amount of money, as do many everyday commodities. This only further
vindicates the value of being self-sufficient and now more than ever, in
both Thailand, and abroad, it is a good time to get involved and get
self-sufficient.
