PM Yingluck to chair CAPO meeting to ponder state of emergency

[Prbkk]

just announced...60 days from tomorrow

[marcusd]

The Yingluck administration - now that these atrocious acts against the protest movement have taken place - now proceeds to their Plan B where that becomes the rationale for what they have really wanted to do all along - to involve the military, to suspend human rights, and most importantly of all - to crush the resistance to their Thaksin-inspired administration. The question is - will the army get in ? Those who have been keeping an eye on the statements of the army, as well as their actions - know that they do not wish to. They are highly suspicious of the administration for much the same reasons everyone else is. Of all the decisions that Prayuth has to make, the decision he makes today will be the most important of his career. If he has the sense I think he has, he will resist this naked and transparent call by the Yingluck administration to in effect squash the resistance to her administration. Two weeks ago, in an interview that did not get much coverage, Prayuth referred to a Thai analogy. This is the gist of what he said - when a cow has a wound on its back, the crows come to rest on it. When there is no wound, the crows stay away. This analogy has even more meaning now that it did then. This administration has been wounded. Everyone knows that. Prayuth knows that. He is - if anything - a very prudent and shrewd man. He is not given to be coerced into anything against his better judgement. Two weeks from now the election will have taken place. It will spark a constitutional crisis, as it will fail to achieve a parliamentary quorum. There will be no legislative recourse for this unprecedented situation. Because of that, the time to quietly step in would be then. There would be no alternative. Yingluck's administration would be truly frozen. Reform talks between the parties could then take place, peacefully, productively. A referendum could ensure, and a new national election after that. It would cool the temperature, and bring the country back from the brink. To act now would be a calamitous decision - and given the inevitable results of the election - the army would in effect be propping up an administration that has no legislative future. It would be a state of paralysis.

the government needs the military to take over s the government can blame the army for a coup that stopped their "Democratic" phoney election

Here's an idea - GO Yingluck, stopping the protestors from anarchy and blockading Bangkok will stabilize Bangkok and we'll bring some sand for you to pound from Dubai. Eh?

State of emergency is now declared (Blue Sky quote).

It is due to come into force from Wednesday (tomorrow) and will last for 60 days.

Details are not yet available.

Strange co-incidence, right after the State of Emergency was announced TVF website became unavailable here for maybe half an hour.

A good beginning?
