Suthep declares December 1 as "People's Victory Day"

It seems that it wasn't clear to you that I was exactly saying that.

What is St Andrews? is it the same as St Patrick's?

I may be wrong , but you have no idea just how true that statement is. There is an ISA in place in Bangkok and yet people are gathering in their thousands wherever they want. He could come back now but...........?

If I was Thaksin Shinawatra, I would fly to Thailand, land in Korat hijack a chopper, fly down to Bangkok and parachute into Rajamangal Stadium to tumultuous applause and the sight of the Red Sea and thousands of lovely Isaan ladies wetting their pants with sheer joy. And then tell Suthep to go and do the physically impossible with himself.

But thankfully I am not.;

The arrival of Khun Thaksin would be the final straw, and the streets would be running red (in more ways than one).

For the sake of Thailand and its people, I hope he never takes that step.

My first thought is the police should send a nice thankyou note.

Now. Have most of them prepare near govt house. Water cannon, teargas, the lot. After dispersing the crowd, hop a lot of them into trucks and beat them back to Chang wattana. Disperse and arrest there, then ready to face the others.

Have any readers noticed the striking resemblance between the speeches of Mr. Suthep and equally rousing (and worrying) speeches by the late Fuhrer: Adolf Hitler? I wonder if perchance, they are related?

You have a seriously warped idea of history if you can see a similarity between the two.

Adolf Hitler advocated mass murder and eradication of Jews, gypsies, homosexuals and Slavs among many others.

Suthep may sound a bit agitated but no one has died, *due to the demonstrations, in the whole time Bangkok has been watching these demonstrations, and hopefully no-one will be.

*edited to add

If you were to read my post again VERY SLOWLY, you might notice that I made a comparison between the SPEECHES of Mr Suthep and those of Adolf Hitler.

[Rob8891]

I fully agree with Suthep occupying Dusit zoo.

He is going to scare the other monkeys

No.

I did notice the penchant for reinforcing Godwin's law though ..... Suthep is a bit of a firebrand but he sounds nothing like Hitler.. It takes a very special kind of headgear to make two very different things anything close to the same.

MF, you never ever seemed to speak out against the reds even when they were burning BKK, Yet when faced by non violent protest (without the violent rhetoric) you get all squirmy .... I don't want to dig back in your posts to May 19th 2010, bu did you ever speak out against the violence of the reds? Before that did you ever make a single statement about the grenade attacks condemning the reds? I do not think you did.

Struggle is the father of all things. It is not by the principles of humanity that man lives or is able to preserve himself above the animal world, but solely by means of the most brutal struggle. If you do not fight, life will never be won. 1924

We are all proud that through God's powerful aid, we have become once more true Germans. 1933

May Day 1933 When an opponent declares, "I will not come over to your side," I calmly say, "Your child belongs to us already... What are you? You will pass on. Your descendants, however, now stand in the new camp. In a short time they will know nothing else but this new community."

No ----- Suthep sounds NOTHING like Hitler. (plus Suthep has better hair!

This idiot would like to be a new PM without any election.

No Loles -- Suthep said he would not accept the premiership. It would not be offered to him anyways.

It won't be offered to Abhisit, or Yingluck, or any of the rest that have been involved in this mess.

It probably would be offered to Anand and I for one would like to see it offered to Mechai V.

The Reds in 2010 were protesting about the fact that a government led by Abhisit which was not the elected choice of the Thai people, was in power due to the intervention of their friends in the judiciary. Almost simultaneously with the burning of central World, over 100 people were murdered by the army, allegedly under orders from indicted murderers, Mr Suthep and Mr Abhisit. This, a day or two after the assassination of Red leader Seh Daeng whilst in the middle of a TV interview by the type of high calibre weapon only held by the military. In the melee a fully insured rich peoples shopping mall was unfortunately burned, maybe by Red protesters, maybe by agents provocoteurs. we will probably never know.

I am listening to Suthep on TV behind me as I type this and his tone sounds very similar to Hitler at Nuremberg.

So.you totally accept the burning and violence ... the grenade attacks etc and have not spoken out against the violence of the reds. Thank you for being honest about that.

I won't bother correcting your dates, and numbers, and who had military weapons since that is common knowledge to 99.5% of the people only the .05% buy into those lies any more.

Let me leave you with one last quote from your buddy A. Hitler and please tell me who it calls to mind for you....

We will not capitulate - no, never! We may be destroyed, but if we are, we shall drag a world with us - a world in flames. March 1945

Because that sounds like the reds you admire so much. Nuttawut and Jatuporn said almost the same from the stage at the end .... just like that was Hitler at the end. It also reminds me of Arisaman before he arrived in BKK.

[OmegaRacer]

apropos "V for Vendetta"... a few months ago, I saw some pics of yellow shirt folks wearing the masks, which as we know are associated with Anonymous. I wonder if they knew what they were doing?

The masks are associated with Guy Fawkes in the first place, signifying rebellion against an oppressing government. Anonymous adopted that symbol later.

At that time a lot of people (not only yellow shirts) started protesting against the changes in the constitution. They (the mask wearing people) were mostly students and younger people. After that goal had been reached, I believe many of them have now retracted, leaving behind middle aged yellow shirts, who now have a much wider and I'd say selfish political agenda.

Don't quote me on this. Just my opinion.

Before I write my post let me first state my absolute dislike for Puea Thai and as someone who has lived in Bangkok for 6 years I will never forget the mayhem their hired thugs caused in 2010. I still feel hatred when I see the family across the street going out to a protest all dressed up in their red shirts.

BUT....

How in god's name can any foreigner even pretend to support this mob going around at the moment? Let's be very clear on this - they want to overthrow a democratically elected government and install a council of UNELECTED people of their own choosing to write a new constitution for the country. Can you imagine this happening in your own country and not being outraged?

Protest peacefully against the disgraceful amnesty bill? Brilliant

Protest against the corruption riddled rice scheme? Fantastic

Protest against the attempt to fiddle with the senate to consolidate power into fewer families? Superb

And you can even protest to put pressure on the government to dissolve the house and call a snap election, but when you refuse to even consider a snap election that is going against all of the ideals of democracy. All of the points that Suthep laid out in his six point plan can be achieved through a democratically elected parliament but the Democrats have never had the balls or the intelligence to get out there and win the working class vote.

Do people really want to see this country set back to zero by a bunch of old men with ideals more suited to 100 years ago? The government at the moment has many flaws but they were elected by the people. The thought of some council of old farts dictating a new constitution and acting like a bunch of feudal lords makes me sick to my stomach.

right, the Occupy movement is very popular among the yellow shirts (with whom I talked), on the other hand they are also ultra nationalistic, how can this be reconciled?

if you read my post you will see that I state that is brilliant that people would rise up and demonstrate against corruption, stealing or lying. I backed the protest against the amnesty bill 100%They should put pressure on the government as they did at the start to make them reverse decisions that are made in self interest. BUT Suthep isn't doing this any more, now he is trying to install this people's council of unelected people to come in and somehow set Thailand to zero by yet again rewriting the constitution - sounds awfully like a military coup except without the army doesn't it? I used to think Abhisit was the way forward for this country but this nonsense about a people'c council is really exposing the Democrats elitist streak that I thought they were trying to shake off.

This bull about not recognizing the decision of the constitutional court is just a stroke of good luck for Suthep and terrible judgement by the arrogant reds. Let's not forget the Democrats are perfectly fine with not accepting rulings made by the ICC but I suppose it's just a farang court that's a part of of the UN so it doesn't matter.
