I think he should be much more concerned about another kind of mob, that is much more prevalent in Thai society. But I guess he doesn't want to rock that boat.

He might be in the USA but this topic is about Thailand. Please try to stay on topic.

Well PM, best is to start the engines of your new tanks already. Just in case.

One has to wonder about the 150 new APVs supposedly positioned in Chachongsao. 

And the two divisions appointed to the direct control of his high ness.

 

Almost as if someone was getting ready for all this?

They all knew this day wasn't far off and have began to prepare for any uprising I think. Behind the scenes they are no doubt concerned. There is a real disdain towards not only the government, but much further up the pyramid now like never seen before.  

Truth hurts...

Agree, in regard to this current situation it would be very interesting to know, conclusively, whether there has been any 'incentive' paid to students.

 

My bet, given the comments I've had from my formed students is that FF have not given any incentives of any type.

It is spoken about softly in certain places. 

Well almost every village. 

Unpopularity is the other political party..lol

Actually, most issan people don't really care, or want to know about it. 

They are still trying to survive and live day to day.

Methinks its more to guard an accumulated combination of wealths suggested to be now around $60 billion usd.

Prayuth will be the sacrificial offering cast under the wheels of the chariot. 

If indeed the sh* t hits the fan.

Worried about things they can't control? Heaven's knows why.

Any South Africans in this thread?

History shows what the Bantu Education Acts of 1953 led to (the Soweto riots,the uprising of a generation in the late '80's, and the overthrow of an abhorrent system). 

Similarly, You can't give an entire generation open and unedited access to the wealth of information that's available (on demand), then expect them not question both inequality and lack of consistency in their own country (in comparison with others), and to suffer and accept a 'lower level of standards' because some guy who had an army at his back 5 years ago and has done little since says so (er, it's the status quo).  

For those days, my friend, the end is nigh.

Yes, and it means that the armed forces in the US are subservient to the office of the President (a civilian/non-military office). They are NOT involved in the operation of the government in any way.

Fair comment, when the majority of your time is taken just surviving each day, the last thing on your mind is who or which group is feeding from the trough - it makes no difference.

From an old Mary Hopkins song, the chorus goes like this

 

" Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way"

There is a far more dangerous chief in the army "NOT-TO-BE-NAMED" who will one day and maybe sooner or later and drastically REPLACE the current PM "NOT-TO-BE-NAMED"  as the COUNTRY CHIEF and SPARK FEAR into the young protesters without regards to human life very soon.........

That may well be his and one others plan, but it's a maybe and could cause a major clash between 2 opposing side with little input from the peasants. 

It is doubtful that all the armed force personal are keen to start shooting up their families and friends etc. irrespective of what's gone before.
