Suthep vows to 'eradicate Thaksin regime'

Suthep calls on followers to overthrow 'Thaksin regime'
The Nation

BANGKOK: -- Protest leader Suthep Thaugsuban Friday night announced from the Rajdamnoen rally stage that he intended to increase the intensity of the protest against the government and added that he now intended to overthrow the Thaksin regime.

He said at 7pm that the blanket amnesty bill was just the tip of the iceberg of a bigger problem for the country and identified that problem as the Thaksin regime.

Suthep opened the so-called "the people’s court" for a second time. The first was three days earlier when he called on people to join the civil disobedience movement.

He then asked the people for a resolution on whether to bring down the Thaksin regime. The protesters replied in the affirmative, applauding and cheering loudly as well as shouting "Thaksin get out".

Suthep called for people to sign their name to a petition for the impeachment of 310 MPs who voted for the blanket amnesty bill, saying they are Thaksin’s slaves.

He said people should sign their names by November 19.

He urged the people not to talk to Thaksin’s slaves and to blow whistles to show their disapproval, especially of DSI director-general Tarit Pengdith, Senate Speaker Nikom Wairatpanich, and House Speaker Somsak Kiatsuranont.

He also called for people to ban the Thaksin business network. This measure will begin on Saturday.

"As a last measure we will call for government officers to stop working if we have a million protesters here," he said.

And so it continues.

[soi41]

Whatever popularity this antigovernment movement had gained, is slowly fading away every time this moron opens his mouth!!

No I am not a PTP fan, but if guys like Suthep is the alternative, then it is just going to be another ruling party, with just as stupid and corrupt politicians.

Old wine in new bottles.

And as corrupt as the Shinawatra family is, Mr Suthep is not exactly squirky clean!!

Senator joins rally to 'eradicate Shinawatra govt'

Senator Paiboon Nititawan joined the Democrat-led protest at the Democracy Monument and urged the people to join the fight to topple the "Shinwatra government".

He told the rally that he was very proud to speak on the rally stage because the number of audience was much bigger than in any Senate meeting or joint House-Senate meeting.

He asked the protesters whether they would resolve to fight against the Shinawatra government and the people erupted in "Yes".

He said Yingluck Shinawatra government had committed grave mistakes in four policies - the rice-pledging scheme, the Bt350-billion water-management, the plan to borrow Bt2 trillion for transport deveopments, and Constitutional amendments.

"The people will fight together to bring Shinawatra government down," he told the rally.

Poor old Suthep must be playing with less than a full deck. Impeach 310 MPs?? And how is the average person (of any nationality going to able to decide what is Shin-made?

No Suthep is not squirky clean. But look at the democrat government: made a few good things, was not very efficient and may had some minor corruption.

Than look at this government: wasting a 100 time more money and tries to establish a ruling dynasty.

I prefer to have Sutheps on the TV for the next 10 years than having the Shinawatras take over Thailand.

[lemonjelly]

All very well, apart from the fact that a majority of the Thai population voted for the Taxin family.........

They did not actually.

48.41% voted for

51.59 % voted against

Suthep has nothing to lose if the situation turns into chaos.

He is old. He has zero chance to get elected to any government post during his left lifetime. He has plenty of court cases fight. And he looks like someone getting totally insane.

How can anyone listen, and believe this strange human being is a mystery

Under the cover of his "peaceful protest" to bring down an elected government, I am pretty sure he would welcome more confrontation. Hopefully this time he cannot count on the army to achieve his despicable goals.

He seems to be getting the publicity. He's firing up the crowds. He's pressing a few buttons. And few give a damn about his history. Add the group-frenzy mentality to the fiery rhetoric and there could be the makings of something we are reluctant to predict. I don't like this at all. We may not like this character, but if he strikes a chord ... well, I hate to think. Whether we like it or not, Suthep is prepared to push things as far as he can. It's heady stuff, despite our cynicism about him personally. Suthep is clearly trying to manoeuvre this situation into a new level. and that's what worries me.

Has Abhsit been to any of Suthtep's shows on the roads?

First one party shoots iteslf in the foot - then the only alternative takes aim at its own nose...

And then a senator (sober second thought and all that) shows up in front of a mob--- (needless to ask whether he was appointed or elected)...

Does anybody in this mess have a mental process beyond-- hate and greed?

Every suspicion about an appointed senate now is confirmed- and the estabilshement parties - both of them- have proved to rely on the streets- this is not West Wing- it is West Side Story.

Yes, Abhisit has indeed been to Suthep's great show.

There is evidence that Abhisit was on the stage.

PT is already seeking the dissolution of the democrat party for that reason.

Everything is on track

Nobody knows which track, of course

Well we have seen how they have voted,first it was to pass the pro amnesty Bill,and when the people complained,they promptly cancelled their Votes. So no there wasn't an impartial one,out of the whole 310 members.

and hitler was voted in as were many evil dictators If Thaksin was just a normal corrupt politician then i would not like it but hes a total megalomanic who wont stop until he totally destroys Thailand or rules absolutely over its burnt ashes. Like all dictators or would be dictators he cares little for people and those poor brainwashed people who worship him will in end loose big time just like people of North Korea. I and my family have an exit which most dont and while wed suffer seriously financially wed survive without having to live in a Thaksin version of North Korea

Ahum, that was the lower house, -from who every one is a member of a political party, while senators are not related to any political party

sorry anything to get rid of the Thaksin clan will be welcome to me and if others are to nice to play dirty well then it needs someone like him even with his obvious dark side to stop Thailand descending slowly into a one party state. Also if it comes to it I hope the army will again stop the megalomaniac

turning Thailand into his own north Korea. Pol pot was also elected. I doubt sheep will ever agree but its only way if people here are happy to sell their votes and so naive as to believe Thaksin will do them any good. Ive lived here through many coups and bad governments but this lot is worst of any ive seen.

No argument from me. I'm only concerned about another round of violence - I just don't want to see any more deaths, especially if the alternatives have not been exhausted (although I have no idea what they might be). I saw friends and colleagues turned into cripples and alcoholics after both 1992 and 2010. Please, no more.

Calling for the violent overthrow of an elected government is called sedition, and should be treated by the courts as a treasonous offense.
