The Open Stockpile: Noise Psyops, Torture Tech, and the Hillsboro law

  The Open Stockpile: Noise Psyops, Torture Tech, and the Hillsboro law The cupboard is open. From white phosphorus to water cannons, from cluster munitions to long-range acoustic devices (LRADs), the global stockpile of “non-lethal” and “compliance” weapons is no longer hidden. It’s deployed—on streets, in prisons, at borders, and in black sites. And the legal frameworks that should constrain them? Often vague, complicit, or absent. Noise as Weapon: Psyops and Torture Noise isn’t neutral. From Guantánamo to Gaza, sound has been weaponised to break bodies and minds. The U.S. military’s use of Metallica, Eminem, and Barney the Dinosaur in 24-hour loops wasn’t entertainment—it was psychological warfare. LRADs, marketed as “crowd control,” emit piercing tones that induce nausea, disorientation, and long-term hearing damage. These are not anomalies—they’re doctrine. The UN Convention Against Torture prohibits methods that cause severe physical or mental suffering. Yet “no-touch” tortur...

Khaki Mission Creep: The Army, the Princess, and the Border Wall Nobody Asked For

Khaki Mission Creep: The Army, the Princess, and the Border Wall Nobody Asked For The Thai-Cambodian border is being fortified—but not by parliamentary mandate, not by civilian request, and not even by the original royal instruction.  What began as a Royal call for citizen emergency bunkers has morphed into a full-blown wall project, steered by the First Army Region under the banner of royal duty.  The mission has crept. The oversight has vanished. From Bunkers to Border Wall: A Manufactured Mandate On Tuesday, the Bangkok Post reports, Her Royal Highness Princess Chulabhorn Krom Phra Srisavangavadhana granted an audience to army chief Gen Pana Klaoplodthuk. The army reported on safety projects under the Hataitip Fund , a royal initiative housed within her Chulabhorn Foundation. The princess expressed concern for soldiers and civilians in border zones and requested the acceleration of defensive bunkers and emergency shelters . Nowhere in that request was a border wall mentio...

A very Amerikkkan coup

  Amerikkka Coup Stimulation: Trump’s Domestic War Theatre In the shadow of Kristallnacht’s shattered glass and the Gleiwitz radio hoax that birthed WWII, the United States now rehearses its own mnemonic coup—one not declared by tanks, but by National Guard deployments , ICE raids , and digital and Fox News propaganda loops .  The terrain is not foreign. It’s Chicago , DC , Memphis , California , New Orleans , and Portland —each reframed as a “war zone” with other Democrat Blue Cities by Trump’s administration to justify federal militarisation. A naked casus belli against USA's own citizens by their President and inner circle of Noem, Miller and Kash. JD, Rubio and Hegseth notable by their uneasy silence. National Guard as Symbolic Occupation Trump’s second term has seen National Guard troops deployed across Democratic cities , often against the will of governors. In Portland and Chicago, federal judges blocked these deployments, citing lack of rebellion or invasion—conditions...

Thailand’s Psyops Terrain: Noise Stops, Amulets, and Ultra-nationalist Drift

  Thailand’s Psyops Terrain: Noise Stops, Amulets, and Ultra-nationalist Drift In the shadow of Myanmar’s October air raids and Scam syndicate logistics, Thailand’s internal terrain is shifting—no longer just a battleground of policy, but of symbolic rupture and psyops fatigue. The noise campaigns—once deployed to harass dissent and drown out protest—are faltering.  The army and Youtuber Gun instructed to shut it all down amidst Senate and UN concerns. Rural and urban communities alike are reporting a tactical silence: the sonic harassment that once masked surveillance and intimidation has stopped. Whether this signals a recalibration or exhaustion of state psyops remains unclear, but the silence is strategic and positive. Mary Lawlor’s continued pressure from the UN Special Rapporteur axis underscores the international spotlight on Thailand’s rights terrain. Her calls to end lèse-majesté prosecutions and protect civic space echo Angkhana Neelapaijit’s 2004 rupture and Gun noi...

The Silent Breach: Thai CARE Pensions Cyber Raids, and UK and the Architecture of Democratic Erosion

The Silent Breach: Thai CARE Pensions Cyber Raids, and UK and the Architecture of Democratic Erosion At 4:03am, while most of Britain slept, a coordinated cyber alert was triggered. Earlier in the day the new NCS Cyber Report, the UK civilian equivalent of GCHQ, listed18 major incursions into UK infrastructure but with questions over whether by state-linked actors from China, Russia, Iran, and criminal proxies or merely criminal hackers.  But while the UK’s cyber terrain lit up with warnings, a quieter sabotage was unfolding in Thailand: the CARE pension consultation. CARE isn’t British. It’s Thai. But the logic of democratic erosion by Cyber is transnational. Thai parliament only alerted to the shenanigans and jiggerypokery by feisty MP Rukchanok Srinork of PP Orange Party @nanaicez appealing to the public in an impromptu press conference on the steps of parliament. In Thailand, the CARE pension scheme—presented as a technical recalibration of a surge of votes in the public consul...

Shadows Over Siam: SBS and RAF Raids and Forgotten Thai Deaths

  Shadows Over Siam: SBS and RAF Raids and Forgotten Thai Deaths In the twilight of World War II, Thailand became a covert battleground—its beaches, railways, and harbours targeted by British Special Boat Service (SBS) and Combined Operations Pilotage Parties (COPP) - both units key to the success of the DDay landings.  The most daring missions unfolded in Phuket , where Operation Baboon and Operation Copyright (March 1945) sought to reconnoitre beaches for a possible Allied landing. Both missions ended in blood: three of seven SBS men killed in the first raid , all six presumed dead in the 2nd raid, and Operation Roger —the planned invasion—abandoned. But Phuket was not alone.  British and American forces also targeted Bangkok , Kanchanaburi , and Songkhla , striking Japanese command centres and rail infrastructure. The RAF and USAAF lost an estimated 50–70 aircraft over Thai territory in over 100 raids between 1942–1945, including Blenheims , Liberators , Mustangs ,...

Sonic Sovereignty and Sleep as Sabotage: Thailand’s Border Psyops and UN Dissonance

  Sonic Sovereignty and Sleep as Sabotage: Thailand’s Border Psyops and UN Dissonance By Tim Garbutt The Thai–Cambodian border is no longer just a cartographic dispute—it’s a stage for militarised theatre, where sound cannons scream white noise and ghostly screams into the night, and sleep deprivation is weaponised as psychological warfare. And Torture plain and simple.  In Sa Kaeo province, Thai forces deployed Long-Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs) against Cambodian civilians earlier this Autumn (after the ceasefire) and soldiers were attempting to dismantle and re-fix concertina wire fencing at Ban Nong Chan.  The sonic blasts—piercing, disorienting, and relentless—on innocent civilians mirror tactics once reserved for riot control, now repurposed for border psyops. This isn’t crowd dispersal. It’s symbolic domination of disputed land from 1904 or 1941 or 1979 . The sound cannon doesn’t just repel—it erodes cognition , disrupts sleep , and fractures community resilience...
