Time for Change: Campaign for an Independent Green Thanet MP and Ramsgate Mayor

  UNMAS & Geneva/New York Contacts Agnes Marcaillou – Former Director, UNMAS Email : marcaillou@un.org François-Xavier De Cloedt – Programme Officer, UNMAS Geneva Email : decloedt@un.org Mohammed Qazilbash – Chief of Programme, UNMAS Email : qazilbash@un.org Camille Gosselin – Public Information Officer, UNMAS Email : gosselin@un.org To: United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS)     Subject: Clarification and Escalation on Explosive Weapon Casualty Reporting, Treaty Enforcement, and Regional Accountability Dear Agnes and UNMAS team, I write to express concern regarding the framing and statistical aggregation in the Secretary-General’s 2025 report on mine action , particularly the cited figure of 48,384 conflict-related deaths attributed to “explosive weapons.” This figure, while alarming, appears to conflate landmines , UXO , cluster munitions , IEDs , artillery , and air-dropped ordnance — without disaggregating by weapon type, treaty coverage, or operation...

  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 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...

  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 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 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 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 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...

  Donald Trump wants the Nobel Peace Prize . Again. This time, he’s not just claiming credit for Gaza’s ceasefire or Venezuela’s de-escalation —he’s demanding a photo-op peace deal between Thailand and Cambodia at the ASEAN Summit in Kuala Lumpur  on Oct 26-28.  But beneath the choreography and theatrics lies a terrain of unresolved violence, symbolic overreach, and institutional fragility. Gaza: Peace by Proxy or Power Play? Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan promises hostages returned, Hamas disarmed, and Gaza rebuilt under a technocratic committee chaired by Trump himself. Arab states, the EU, and even China have endorsed it. But Hamas wasn’t at the table. Palestinian voices were sidelined. Israel continues air raids. Bibi is on the run from ICC . And the plan’s architecture—led by a “Board of Peace” outside UN frameworks— lacks authority. But after 2 years and 65-250,000 deaths, once the rubble is cleared, a Trump deal is better than none. Venezuela: Surveillance, Not ...

 Time for global ban on white phosphorous and cluster munitions - the global community must urgently enforce a universal ban on white phosphorus and cluster munitions—two indiscriminate weapons whose use continues to devastate civilian populations and violate international humanitarian law. Their use in Gaza is drawing to a close leaving much smaller use in Ukraine and Myanmar and briefly in the Thai-Cambodia War. While air raids in general look increasingly a de facto war crime with mainly civilian deaths and increased drone use. Cluster munitions, which disperse dozens or hundreds of submunitions over wide areas, have been used by both Russian and Ukrainian forces in 2024–2025, despite the Convention on Cluster Munitions prohibiting their use, production, and transfer. These weapons fail to distinguish between combatants and civilians, and unexploded bomblets remain lethal for years. In 2023 alone, civilians accounted for 93% of global casualties from cluster munitions, with chil...

  In a region where biometric scans promise digital salvation and scam centres bankroll political dynasties, Southeast Asia’s corruption isn’t just endemic—it’s engineered. From Bangkok’s parliament floor to Cambodian call centres, the machinery of impunity runs on crypto, casino bills, and compromised identities. Parliament as Firewall: Rangsiman Rome’s Exposés Thai MP Rangsiman Rome has become the country’s most persistent firewall against elite impunity. In a blistering Section 152 debate, he accused a sitting senator—linked to the ruling Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party—of owning land used for party headquarters while allegedly being wanted for drug trafficking and money laundering. The senator responded with a ฿100 million defamation suit despite parliamentary privilege of free speech. Rome’s revelations didn’t stop there. He exposed electricity deals with Myanmar drug lords, police aviation units laundering funds, and the systemic rot within the Royal Thai Police. His disclosures t...

  In the shadow of collapsed tunnels and crumbling promises, Southeast Asia’s infrastructure tells a story not of progress—but of elite impunity, buried accountability, and seismic corruption. Thailand: When the Ground Gives Way Bangkok Sinkhole (Sept 2025): A 50m-deep crater opened near Vajira Hospital, swallowing police vehicles and rupturing public trust. The culprit? Soil subsidence linked to the Purple Line subway tunnel—contracted to Sino-Thai Engineering, whose ties to Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul are no secret. Khao Kradong Land Encroachment: Over 5,000 rai of railway land in Buriram, ruled by Supreme Court as state-owned, remains occupied by 900+ private entities—including the Chidchob family. Decades of delay, ministry interference, and vote-rigging allegations have stalled restitution. Golf Club Runway Encroachment: Rancho Charnvee Resort, owned by Anutin’s family, built a private airstrip overlapping 450m of public road. DSI investigations revealed no valid per...
