Unthinkable a few years ago. Just hope it all doesn't end in tears. A great number are attententiste, fear is still the prevailing emotion among the non committed. But, as they say, they've broke the seal, anybody's guess where it goes from here. I'm guessing a 1976 solution isn't really on the cards. I feel the same way. The 1976 solution worked back then as the government was able to control the flow of information plus there were no smart phones with cameras and no internet. Nowadays the government will have to shut down the internet and confiscate ALL smart phones with cameras. I suspect that it will be impossible to police mobiles, but possible to close the internet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Susco Posted October 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2020 (edited) I feel things may get ugly before year end. I'm sure most of you have read in the worldwide press what Germany's foreign ministry has made clear in the past week. The protest in Bangkok today is covered in the press in all prominent news sources in the west, and I have seen pictures of signs carried in the protest, which you would never have seen years ago.

They can shutdown the internet (they did a trial run before) but they can't stop people from taking pictures and videos.

Eric Loh Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Day to watch as the government has declared an emergency decree that banned gathering of 5 or more people and the yellow shirts are provoking the peaceful demonstrators. Doubt this will end nicely. May be the start of something huge. Let's hope this is not a repeat of 1973. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morch Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 17 hours ago, Orton Rd said: I see over on Andrew Marshall's face book page he claims many yellow shirts were army drafted in from the south. Looking at the film on there they certainly don't look like it. They look far more like poor people, so could well have been paid to turn up, they were trucked in as seen above. How anyone can be a yellow shirt voluntarily these days is beyond me, brainwashing can't be that good. It would be kinda hard to address that without breaching forum and country laws. Best I can offer is that if one follows USA politics, then he'd be aware voters sometimes support the party/side without being fully behind the candidate fielded. I think that's the case for many of the participants, on both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted October 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2020 The army desperados think this will stifle dissent. I doubt it will. They are so despised at this point, it will only make things worse. And in addition, this will stifle the little bit of foreign investment coming Thailand's way. And if anything, it will increase Chinese influence. The last thing they, or we need. This move was based on a great degree of fear, and greed. When will the majority finally see what is happening here? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
