8 Jan 2005 a letter from thailand |
It's been a few weeks after the
tsunami. Who knows how many dead in Thailand. This is one of the most
corrupt countries in the world, so the same as when the sars epidemy,
or the bird flu, they will hide until they can. Sure, tourism it's the
main income. More sadly, they will rebuild exactly at the same place,
with illegal land titles, with illegal permits to build. Fuck nature.
It's election time here in Thailand. Many people have written worrying
about me. I thank them. And the whole world has been worrying about the
disaster. I believe that this disaster is big in the whole world only
because western people have been affected. How many times the same thing
has happened, year after year? We made a big fuss about september the
11th. Why? Because it was the west, the defenders of a so called democracy
and the free world. What a joke!! The world endures, in different places,
the same problems. Which ones make the front pages? The ones that affect
us, the rich. Now, everyday, in the "Bangkok Post", they publish
the photos of the ones that haven't been found, only foreigners, an exact
copy of the "New York Times" after the planes crashed against
those buildings. But no thais. Only us. Why? Because it sells. The same
tragedy happens every year in some part of the world....yes, it's in the
news, for how long? Maybe a day, or two. But shit!!! This big wave fucked
up our holidays, and the little blonde boy is searching for his parents.....and
what about the sri lankan boy that lost everything? Who sent an e-mail
worrying about him? Stop this. International cooperation. The United Nations.
The problems are more deep that this. Until when we take advantage of
nature. Until when the western people spend their money to turn the third
world into our paradise for the christmas season, or haad rin for our
party time, same as the big companies outsource their jobs to cheaper
places. Yes....tough luck, you died while you sitted at your five star
hotel, while the thais made 4000 bath ( 100 dollars ) a month, working
16 hours a day to provide you with..... If no westerners had been affected....it would have been in the news for two days. Like always. But we own the media, we own the world. And a swedish, an american, a french, a chilean, a whatever, shit, how sad. But who cares about the one that has nothing in the north of thailand that has to come to the south and work endless hours to support a family? Not Thaksin Shinawatra ( the prime minister and richest man of Thailand ). Shit, it's election time, not " Le Monde", not any newspaper. Sorry to say this. But the west sucks!!!! Carlos |
