Transcript of the above video: 

As the title of this video suggests, we are asking the question is Anutin the guy who does his job. What are we talking about here? Well as you can see for from the thumbnail, I am taking a piece from the movie The Departed - which has a heck of a cast including Jack Nicholson - but there's a great scene in there, and I'll get to why I thought of using that thumbnail here in a minute where Mark Wahlberg says, "I'm the guy who does his job. You must be the other guy." and let me just get into it here. 

I thought of making this video after reading a recent article from the Bangkok Post, bangkokpost.com, the article is titled: Pheu Thai takes aim at BJT (they mean Bhumjaithai, the now Coalition party, the governing Coalition party if you will, along with People Power Party insofar as they voted in favour of this Cabinet), title of the video, again: Pheu Thai takes aim at BJT Policy Statement, cabinet. And this is kind of what you have in a robust Parliamentarian System where they have come out with their policy statement, this government, which to my understanding now the mechanism has been triggered pursuant to the Memorandum of Agreement between People Power and Bhumjaithai wherein this now effectively starts the clock if you will toward dissolution in roughly 120 days and then subsequent elections thereafter; so dissolution of the House and subsequent elections thereafter. 

That said, as Pheu Thai has sort of been moved aside in terms of actually governing the country they don't seem real happy about this although, and I urge those who are watching this video, go check out that article in detail, you can make your own decisions, you can render your own opinions based on the facts in there, but it doesn't look to me a lot like they are taking this very well but it also doesn't look to me a lot like they have a ton of substantive arguments here. That said, quoting directly, and this is where I thought of making this video because of the clip from The Departed and I'll put a link in the description below for the clip. Quoting directly: “The former Pheu Thai leader claimed that they are more likely to spend the next four months in office trying to secure their grip on power." So this is first of all espoused by somebody saying, oh they are only coming in for 120 days, they're only going to use this time to further, as they say, 'secure their grip on power'. Well yeah, I mean that's politics, yeah, they're going to play to their own book. Meanwhile I find it a little bit disingenuous coming from the Party who recently had an acting PM that was a Communist who attempted to basically pack the Interior Ministry, specifically it looked to me like the apparatus for counting the actual votes and then tried to ram through a dissolution of Parliament when he didn't have the legal authority to do so. So secure their grip on power! Like maybe it 'takes want to know one' kind of thing.

That said, quoting further: "Dr. Cholnan blasted the appointment of these Ministers as "window dressing" saying they were mainly tasked with boosting the Party's popularity, in an effort to influence the outcome of the election that is scheduled to take place sometime in March next year." Yeah, that is politics. Of course they are in there to win the next election; that's the point of all of this. Bring up another movie, it is like Office Space, if that wasn't what they were doing, you have to ask, "what would you say it is you do here?" It's just kind of ridiculous. That said, quoting further: "Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul defended the Government, saying the government's policies are achievable because he knows how to execute them." The minute I read that, I just immediately thought of that scene from The Departed, "I'm a guy who does his job, you must be the other guy." That just seems like, I mean I may be, I don't want to put words in people's mouths, but the gist of that comment back, "yeah I know how to execute stuff; I can get things done." "I'm the guy that does his job. You must be the other guy." 

That said, quoting directly from Mr. Anutin: "This Government will lay the foundation for good governance and bright democracy. At least no one can pull strings behind this Prime Minister, and decisions will be made in consultation with Cabinet members and Members of Parliament to protect public interests, Mr. Anutin said." Yet again it just kept coming back to, "I'm the guy that does his job, you must be the other guy." I am here to come in and actually do this, not be puppets for some kind of World Economic Forum thing or the OECD. And if you read that article, and I urge those who are watching this video to do so, they actually get into Anutin, somebody brought up the fact, I think it came up that, "what about casinos and what about the Digital Wallet?" It was like yeah, we are not pursuing that particularly because there really wasn't a great mandate in the last election for totalitarian tokens to track and trace all of our transactions here in Thailand, along with the casino complex that seemed to be entirely based on the premise that it was going to be sold out to foreigners. So yeah, maybe we're not going to pursue those things and maybe I'm going to try to do some things so we can get on to another election. And yeah, we all want to look good, and our own Political Parties want to look good in the next election. 

But when I just read through that, again I urge those who are watching this video check out that article in detail, but just ringing through my head when I saw that, well I actually know how to execute things, "I'm the guy that does his job, you must be the other guy."
