NF1000 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Here comes the civil war that most red supporters have been craving. Then here comes the army to make sure it doesn't happen. Jatuporrn needs locked up for the safety of Thai people. I though Suthep was a loose cannon, but this guy? I knew jatuporn would not be able to resist a war. The guy is out on bail with conditions not to incite any public confrontation and here he is publicly leading an army intent on murder and destruction. Well, we will see how it pans out this time, if anything can bring 10 million anti- government protesters to BKK, this can. A bit one side are we or..... One out one bail, but u seem to forget the other one, the democracy master, he is charged with murder He isn't planning on leading an army to BKK for a violent confrontation. So yes, the actual situation by its very nature is one sided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red shirts try to protect their government elected on the back of 15 million votes, what should they do? It's caused by Mr Suthep trying to circumvent the democratic electoral process, nobody else. One thing we agree on is that it's going to get bad, to quote Enoch Powell, "rivers of blood" will be coming. Shame for the normal Thai citizens who had their say in the votes (from both parties not just PT voters). Worse still is that in the future people will think this is normal, don't like the party that's been elected? No problem we'll follow Suthep's example... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluespunk Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 "Red shirt leader Jatuporn Promphan on Thursday announced a new campaign to keep Bangkok open on January 13 to counter the campaign by the anti-government protesters to shut down the capital." If he can't keep Bangkok open he is however, prepared to arrange a fire damage sale. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post aguy30 Posted January 2, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2014 Huuummm, the TV regulars like to call Suthep a nutter. Jutaporn is back and he will show you what a real nutter is. Better increase security around Central World before be sets fire to it AGAIN? Amazing that Jutaporn is still a supporter after they used and abused him. Idiot comes to mind. Maybe not quite an idiot, just an IQ in the 80's like so many other red supporters. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also predict you're going to get battered here about YL being a pawn of Thaksin and it's all Thaksin and red shirts fault, yardy yardy etc Having been to beautiful Thailand 8 times I have decided to cancel my 3 months there. I was supposed to arrive in April and by then civil war will saturate the country. For God's sake, hand the reigns over to your glorious King and Royal Family and let then run the country for it seems they are the only ones that now care about it!!!! Wow, I'm sorry to hear that sheppo. Unless you were planning a stay in BKK or down south you probably wouldn't even know there was problems (except by visiting TV of course). It's impacted our business big time unfortunately so we feel it even though not in BKK but tourists will be okay and probably benefit from a weakened baht! Hope you enjoy wherever you're going to instead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webfact Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Redshirts Vow Counter-Rally On 13 JanBy Khaosod OnlineBANGKOK: -- Leaders of the Redshirts movement have vowed to organise massive rallies to counter the attempt to ′shutdown Bangkok′ by anti-government protesters."Since [some] people will shutdown Bangkok on 13 January, we will keep the country open on 13 January," said Mr. Jatupon Prompan, a leader of the United Front of Democracy Against Dictatorship (UDD).The move came after Mr. Suthep Thaugsuban, leader of the People′s Committee for Absolute Democracy With the King As Head of State (PCAD), announced his plan to "shutdown" the capital city on 13 January 2014 by holding mass rallies on major intersections and roads of Bangkok.Mr. Suthep billed the plan as the means to pressure Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra into resigning and paving the way for the establishment of an unelected ′People′s Council′, which would then implement series of "reforms" deemed desirable by the PCAD leaders.PCAD also demanded that the upcoming election on 2 February 2014 be postponed before the "reforms" are completed, but the government has insisted that the election must go ahead as planned.The Redshirts, the major support base of the government, have been mostly silent throughout the prolonged campaign by anti-government protesters; their last major rally in Bangkok on 1 December ended in bloodshed after three of their supporters and one anti-government protester were killed in street clashes near the rally site.However, it appears that the Redshirts have lost patience."The PCAD′s shutdown of Bangkok amounts to taking Thailand and Thai people hostages. It would lead to division and a civil war," Mr. Jatupon, the UDD leader, said in a press conference today at Imperial Ladprao shopping mall.Mr. Jatupon also accused the PCAD of attempting to create chaos which would persuade the military to intervene. He warned that should a military coup take place, it would be met with widespread resistance by the people.He encouraged the Redshirts to "follow and listen to signal from the leaders, but let me stress that we will proceed everything with peaceful means".Ms. Thida Thawornseth, chairwoman of the UDD, also condemned the "Bangkok shutdown" plan by PCAD as a "dictatorship of the minority" to disrupt the upcoming general election.She called on the Election Commission (EC) to reflect on its alleged reluctance to facilitate the election registration. "I would like to inform EC that the entire country knows what EC is doing, what is EC′s stance, who is claiming to be neutral but committing actions that are clearly biased," Ms. Thida said."At this minute, we have reached an important point," Ms. Thida told reporters, "We are prepared".Later in the day Mr. Pichit Tamool, coordinator of the UDD in Chiang Mai welcomed Mr. Jatupon′s call for a counter rally on 13 January. He said he would discuss with other UDD leaders in the 17 northern provinces - the stronghold of the Redshirts - about plans to stage rallies in Bangkok.He estimated that "500,000" Redshirts in the northern region would arrive in Bangkok to join the mass protest organised by the UDD and campaign against "the PCAD and all forms of extrajudicial powers".However, Mr. Pichit said the local activists of PCAD are free to organise their planned rally in Chiang Mai in solidarity with the PCAD protesters in Bangkok on 13 January, but expressed his wish that the PCAD protesters in the northern province would refrain from occupying roads or storming governmental buildings."Don′t cause troubles to the people, otherwise the waves of the mass will surely go out and counter them," Mr. Pichit said.Source: http://www.khaosod.co.th/en/view_newsonline.php?newsid=TVRNNE9EWTFOVFkzTnc9PQ== -- Khaosod English 2014-01-02 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are protesting to get rid of Yingluck and the Shin family, the corruption. You wear 'free Thailand' shirts. You feel that you are doing the right thing. Have you ever wonder why you are wealthy? Your parents are civil servants, working in the government in the 60's, 70's, salary is about 200 dollars a month? How can they afford to send you to England, US, Australia, etc. How can they buy and own so much land in Bangkok and the country?

Popular Post GazR Posted January 2, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Jatuporn quote: "We will fight by peaceful means." Not only does this statement not make sense, it is also basically what he said in 2010 - before going on to urge his Red Shirt army to burn down the hospital where the king was living along with the rest of Bangkok. Just obeying orders from Dubai: Thaksin may be a psychopath (as some have suggested), but Jatuporn is "evil" - at least according to the veteran Asian Journalist from Australia who I spoke to after he interviewed Jatuporn back in 2010. In fact, the Red Shirt leadership remind me of a quote from Adolf Hitler: " Make no mistake. We are about murder." Not to mention stupidity.

Popular Post TVGerry Posted January 2, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2014 Suthep wants to shut down Bangkok. Jatuporn will burn it down. It's that simple. We've seen the 'peaceful' red shirts protest in 2010. For all you red supporters out there calling Suthep and his supporters all kinds of names, you can now witness a side by side comparison of a relatively peaceful anti government protest and a red shirt 'peaceful' protest. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post domu Posted January 2, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 2, 2014 I tried to read Jatuporn announcement "between the lines". I'm not shure I'm right, but I have the feeling that: 1: The red want a coup as well. They think that they will still win the elections even after reforms. 2: They expect that a lot of southern demonstrators will go back home if it becomes too dangerous to be in BKK. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GazR Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Reality Check: I can't see any way out of avoiding another coup unless the government, the opposition and representatives of civil society are able to come together and negotiate a binding tri-partite agreement in good faith as the TDRI has suggested. Ideally, there would be only two representatives from each side (six in all) with an agreement by any two parties considered binding and two soldiers outside the door to keep them locked in until they reach a comprehensive agreement. However, as we have seen before, in practical terms there would also need to be phone links for the politicians to contact their own leaders who would not show themselves while (again) holding veto power. Of course, you can multiply those numbers by however much you like, but any workable solution would require the same or similar calculus. Fortunately, to paraphrase JFK, "The things that unite us as Thais are greater than the things that divide us." Of course this shouldn't really include the nominally Thai of Malay descent, unless there is a radical revision to the monolithic state ethos of 'Thai'.
