I wonder why A Johnsen, whose last name suggests he/she is from a Scandinavian country – which are among the freest in the world – appears to love dictatorship so much. First I thought Johnsen might be suffering Stockholm Syndrome, a condition whereby victims sympathise with their persecutors, help them get away, join them, and refuse to testify against them. Sometimes it is called Patty Hearst Syndrome after the kidnapped US heiress who joined her kidnappers. But when Johnsen recommended the blog landdestroyer.blogspot.com as a valuable source of news I could see immediately why thisperson’s brain has been completelywashed. And, yes, this one-sided blog full of rubbish does indeed have a Thailand section (it should be renamed the Shinawatra section, though).
