It's just Tarit trying to score brownie points for his retirement.

He said there were three factors behind the idea of setting up a "Republic of Lanna". Firstly, people in the North were looked down upon by others, with the PDRC often referring to red shirts as "red water buffaloes". Secondly, the opposing group did not respect the law and there were double standards in the judicial system. The third reason, he said, was the undemocratic aspirations of the PDRC.

I just love that first reason: because of name calling and lack of respect they want to set up a republic...well, respect is earned, not given...

The letter got Wiki=Leaked:

Dear Pi-Ban,

Please come quick.

You can have all the rice you can eat, 1-2 ladyboys, and a real Rolex from Patpong Market, if you help us.

Your friend Surapong

I tried googleing "Thai Police Commission" but didn't find anything. Anybody knows: composition, mandate, appointed by?

Greed is the reason for collapse of rice pledging scheme, says klauskunkel

The government used the rice, which they did not own, to drive up the market price with a plan to skim from the top. This was done because there is no oversight, transparency or accountability and also because being unethical and greedy is a requirement for a cabinet position.

Driving up the price didn't work, simply because traders bought cheaper rice from other rice producing countries with a click of the mouse. This was unanticipated by the government because as a rule they do not anticipate the future, they do not understand how mouse clicks work and because they never listen to anybody who knows better and also because being inept and unqualified is a requirement for a cabinet position.

Now, after having gambled away the livelihood of Thailand's rice farmers, the government is left with a rotting stockpile of rice, no money, protests and carnage in the streets, no credibility and Chalerm. So, what's a government got to do? Blame, distort, lie, obfuscate, delay, deny, forget, point, smile, threat, confuse and above all continue being a government.

...and that's the reason for collapse of rice pledging scheme

Surapong, the Poker Player:

I see your one bully (Suthep), and I raise you two (Chalerm and Jatuporn)

the pot is Yingluck

They could talk on Facebook, from "fiend" to "friend" in one click...

That article makes no sense as, they talk about "Corruption", the PDRC has been yelling Corruption but the NACC, only charge Yingluck with "Negligence".

Simple reason no Corruption could be found in Their investigation!

Cheers

Look here:

There is no "corruption charge" per se, it is broken down into several offenses, like graft, abuse of power, malfeasance, negligence, nepotism etc., some can be broken down further. The rule of thumb is that if you use the power of office for anything else but for the benefit of the nation, then you are corrupt.

To make things even clearer, let's look at "stupidity", this can be broken down as well: commenting without thinking, never looking at the big picture, extreme bias, emotion overruling reason etc., I'm sure you get my drift.

You mean stupidity like in believing anything Suthep says? And believing the NACC, CC, courts and any other government institution (including RTP and RTA) are objective in this fight?

No...I mean stupidity like in being so narrow-minded in your views that everything in your mindset is red vs. yellow, Suthep vs. Yingluck, to the exclusivity of everything else and extrapolating this mentality onto everyone you encounter (I am generalizing)

Suthep Thaugsuban strongly blasted special security center’s head Chalerm Yoobamrung

Now everything starts to make sense...Chalerm never had his head cut off end of last year, he had his body cut off instead. How else would Suthep be able to blast Chalerm's head? Leave it to Chalerm to screw up even his own beheading.

Heroic brimming with tears.

yes, I fear another flood coming...

as for being heroic - it would be heroic for her to actually show up for the hearing, maybe not in her best interest, but heroic...

IMO this guy is the only decent member of Yingluck's cabinet. All others are either criminals, oafs, unqualified - or a combination.

Actually, I think this is a wonderful idea!

Have the UN chief experience Thainess, inept government, oafish ministers, the PM married to Facebook and Chalerm first hand. I will give him 3 days before he strategically retreats home, all the way shaking his head in utter disbelief.

Let's all give him a warm welcome.

But if the prime minister does not want to acknowledge the charge, the NACC will notify her about the charge by mail, said Mr Vicha.

That's no good, you have to use Facebook.

But the PM accused the NACC of discrimination, saying that the agency had not made any progress with a corruption case against the Abhisit government, whereas it took only 21 days to investigate and press charges against her.

Apples and oranges kiddo, you just have been waaayy too blatant and made the NACC's job much easier...you lack multitasking skills: when you are exercising your daily corruption you have to hide it at the same time...

Let me see if I got this straight:

...no I haven't...

The NSC chief said former communists leaders were embedded within the PDRC corps

Maybe they are, maybe they aren't, I don't know.

I do know, however, that former communist leaders are definitely embedded within the Red Shirts/UDD...and very highly embedded, too...so highly embedded actually, I'm talking silk sheets and feather down...sleep on that Mr. NSC chief!

let's welcome these convicts back into society with open arms...they have been rehabilitated by Thainess

The Department of Special Investigation has asked the Siam Commercial Bank to unfreeze the bank accounts of protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban and 37 other leading figures of the protest movement.

It's a trap. Chalerm's idea. He wants to pounce on them when they go shopping.

police seeing him walking funny:

"Look at him walk, that's not right!"

"Maybe they walk like that in Africa?"

"He is in Thailand now and he can't walk like this...we'll teach him the Thai way...rubber gloves"

"oh, look what I found!"

"No, don't eat it...!"

Chineseness vs. Thainess

Llllllet's get rrready to rrrrumble!

"Leadership", "Coordination", "Selflessness" ?

...but they never offered these courses at Kentucky State...

I refused to buy a flower from a flower vendor. She called me a "Cheap Charlie". I called her a "Dirty Diana". It went straight over her head.

Police want independence

You may get your independence, but first you should be dissolved...
