Popular Post Classic Ray Posted July 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2020 Without protests, the US would never have pulled out of Vietnam, Civil Rights for black people would never have advanced, SouthAfrica would still have Apartheid, Germany would still be separated, and hundreds of other wrongs would never have been righted. Protests are the sign of a healthy democracy. All very well the Thai government saying protestors must comply with the law, but if that law suppresses freedom of speech, the people will not obey it. 10 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SomchaiCNX Posted July 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2020 The military allone does not worry me as much. It are mainly the politicians that are de cause of all evil. The general did not bad, he cleaned up a lot until he had to call general elections ( ???? ). Now he has to share powers with (corrupt) politicians again. Now he has to listen to them or the government will fall. Look at those in Parliament, same people, same families for example the Chidchob's. Chai (dead), Newin (BBC bankruptcy, the gang of 16, FC Buriram etc etc), another brother is still hiding in Cambodia after murdering a fellow MP (do TV members know), after Newin was not allowed his wife Karuna took over, daughter of Chiang Mai Construction (remember problems with MHS airport and the road from CNX to CEI (Chiang Rai). Now we have another Chidchob that has transportation (influence in THAI and CAAT +++) This is just 1 family. Asawahim (hiding in Cambodia) , Archa silpa, the sons of Kamnam Pho (who is hiding in Cambodia himself), the Chinawatra's (difficult to follow where they are all hiding) the list is endless. Please check all those (previous student protesters) who used to protest in the 70,80,90 ties and later on. You would surprised how many serve in the government and high public service places. It all start at kindergarten level where they prepare them to obey the elite. Corruption at every single level in society and they don't mind and except it (as been told from the start). ???? The boys in Blue own the sky and airports, they make a lot of money and are happy. The boys in brown own the streets and make a lot of money. The navy keeps quit because they get aircraft carriers and submarines if they don't annoy the others so the only thing left for the boys in green are the coups ???? It is not complicated as you can see. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Student Union of Thailand and the "Yaowashon Plod Ak -- Free Youth" group are jointly holding a street protest at Democracy Monument on Saturday evening to express their opposition to what they call Thailand's "deep-rooted dictatorial system". Why repeat only 1 paragraph twice? Better repeat the complete post twice. It will be stronger.... as for the youths - yeah, I'm also against all the covid related restrictions and bad economic situation that it all caused, but guys, read about other places in the world - we are ALL in the same boat. ALL government around the world (well, except for Sweden) did pretty much the same. It doesn't matter who would have been in power at the beginning of the pandemic - we'd still be in the same situation. As for freedom of speech - do a little history search of about 25-30 years ago and see the difference...... and also to the Taksin era, from 2001 to 2006. There is a lot more freedom now than in both periods. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEKPHUKET Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Interesting to see some opposition movement waking up. The event was reported by the Bangkok post but you could not post any comment this shows how the media is controlled by the puppets in bkk.

Students protesting is just a thing a student is supposed to do, The forget about it once they have a decent job or can eat a part of the cake. Who is protesting for the boeren who are killed on a daily base now in South Africa? Oh right they are white only BLM. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post toenail Posted July 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2020 The government and business elite want to keep the youth in public schools uneducated and not think independently. Sadly only the better educated youth know what’s going on.

Thaksin and his thieving, lying, drug dealer murdering cohorts Is Thaksin the only other option? The current mob have had over six years to draw up a constitution with proper checks and balances so people put in power could be held accountable for their actions. This mob didn’t do that because they don’t want to be held accountable for their actions. The momentum for them to leave is only to gain more and more. But you keep up with the tired old line of, “But Thaksin.....”. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rtco Posted July 19, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2020 And so it begins. It is the youth of this country that can see through the charade of a dictatorial government who don't give two hoots about the Thai people they are supposed to be governing. Lining their own pockets is all that matters to them. It's time for these pseudo military men to step down and let democracy (in whatever shape or form that might be) return to the grass-routes of this country. Thanathorn was the man to do that but the "corrupt democratic killing machine" put paid to that. However if there is enough of a fire storm from the people and as a result this sham of a government is ousted then repeal his ban and let's get some sanity back into this place. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
