Suthep writes to Obama, affirming non-violent campaign

[chooka]

P.S. My followers are peace-loving people as well. Just watch attached video - which is self explanatory - but might need some seriously edited sub-titling.

Hmmm... I saw passion in that clip, not violence.

And money can't buy passion.

What's your point?

Passion and violence...not a great mix

Lovely. She's screaming about corruption. Yay. Let's get on the Suthep anti corruption band wagon....

And these are the people that want to run the country with their unelected council of fruitloops and nutcases. Can make this woman the Minister of foreign affairs.

they have had their protest. It has failed, their numbers are falling and we just need more massive financial hits to the pockets of the backers.

This is simply untrue. The number of protesters at the sites varies throughout the day. In the evenings, the sites are packed.

It's also important to point out that unlike the Shins having to pay people to show up, protesters are inundating Suthep with donations.

Pretty telling, IMO.

Hundreds, not thousands. lots more at a sek loso concert

By writing letters like this Suthep and Noppadon are proving to the world that they are buffoons masquerading as politicians and really masquerading as leaders. It is astonishing how Thais are taken in with them.

Here for the fools who think there were more than 200-300 supporters today.

From the Nation as well - so even they know that PDRC have 2,000 paid staff at the rally.

PLEASE ALL YOU NON-BELIEVERS... THIS IT PDRC SAYING THEY HAVE 2,000 PAID GUARDS AND STAFF. now give it up

Truth really does hurt, but we are calling BS on this Coup and its lies about support. They have run out of steam and need rounding up.

the army have a detachment undercover to prevent attacks on the marchers, and add in sutheps bodyguards. Half the march is his people and the other 100-200 (during the week) were protesters. They had to head to office blocks at lunchtime to have anything resembling a crown. Then back home down Suk in the afternoon with 100-200 lost souls.

All captured on film and posted on Twitter and instagram.. but funnily enough glossed over on Bluesky

I heard he was selling land and had run out of money. I also heard his guards are down to 300 baht per day, making it 600k a day for his guards and they want time off, but no buses to take them back south.

I assume his backers will bail him out somehow?

Even funnier. The story down here is that the guy buying his land backed out as didn't want to be seen supporting the Coup....

The little weasle guy Akanant told the BP in interview that the markets and whistles were they because they needed the money as many backers not sure it will suceed and are bailing out.

Big as some of Sutheps backers are. .. Bigger... have fallen in history. I won't list them as don't want to be accused of education Sutheps falang fan club on a Retirement visa!!!

oh go on then. Some big empires that failed.

Biggest outpouring from them yesterday was on the bars closing. I even say a stream of posts about bar girls being affected by SEO. Pathetic, but thats free speach and it should, like democracy be defended.

Shit ..... He can write too ?

Actually no, his foreign friend from Silom road wrote the letter(drivel) because Mr. (democracy) Suthep always has both hands full of money. Edited January 26, 2014 by Hawk

Suppose if he wants Obama to know the situation he must have written 3 letters in the past 3 days. BBC picked up on this ey early today and are tweeting PRDC asking about it.

Dear Obama, we will not oppose elections or obstruct polling stationg.

Dear Obama, we cannot promise not to oppose elections and pollings stations may be obstructed.

Dear Obame, We will obstruct polling staions, violently in some cases, and try run the election of the rails.

PS. I know I'm only an ugly old fascist and have less morals and scuples even than Thaksin, but I know where you can get a good rendition base.!!

Your's hopefully. Brother Suthep

[Hawk]

Obama? Just another troubled American president who was/is a complete failure. All mouth and no power.

[jackr]

I wonder how the draft looked:

Hey Mr Barack,

Who are u? Hope u well. I fine. Want to tell u we come Bangko because we like democracy, nah. Jing jing, krap, krap, kop khun krap, sawat dii krap. Bye byeeeee.

Suthep

[EBlair48]

Don't all polls in Thailand on the subject of corruption show the majority actually approve of it, if of course, it benefits themselves?

I'd like to know Suthep's position on the Lese Majeste law. I'm sure he would support it fervently, thus actually enabling the status quo that he claims to be fighting aganst .

[englishoak]

After today I am pretty sure Obama will be updated just how democratic this pratt and co are. Nothing like proving your a liar on an international level in print, couldnt even go a week before showing its all baloney.

[RJF]

I imagine the reply goes as follows:

Hey Suthep,

Dude, that's quite a mess you got on your hands there brother! As Americans we're often accused of not being able to tell one country from another, but let me tell you, I know what's going on there in Thaiwan! We had the same shit here dude, with that evil Bush family. We didn't kick out the old Bush though, his term was up, but in the end he too just bought and manipulated the election victory for his son George W. At least Lingyuck is a hell of a lot better looking don't you say?

Anyway, here we just dealt with it for 8 years. I know y'all don't like foreigners telling you what to do and shit, but as you are the one that initiated contact, I take the liberty to give you a bit of advice. Bush and his cronies like Cheney and his Haliburton company were thieving and pillaging for 8 years my friend. When the country was basically bankrupt, it was the right moment to convince people to vote for me. 'Change' was my slogan.

If you really want democracy, as you say you do, you just deal with the shit buddy. Y'all can't just be for democracy only if you win. If the people get fed up, and I believe the rice farmers are already getting to that point, you just make a good programme, you tell 'm some lies of what you'll do when you're in power and people will start voting for you. It's not rocket science dude!

Whatever you're doing now is going nowhere dude. You're just screwing up big time with this. Much better to let Lingyuck and her brother screw up and you can reap the benefits at the next election. That's how it works buddy. Stay cool dude.

Barack

Dear Mr. President, I better write to you because I lie even when I blow a whistle. I sense we are soul mates and therefor it is good to communicate for often. I am the Mastermind behind shutting down the city with enormous amounts of my followers. Do you have that phenomenon in your country too? It is a great success and I recommend other people in other countries to perform the same when they suffer like us under a totalitarian cruel regime making life impossible. Apart from ruining the economy we obstruct the elections today. It is all great. I hope for your sympathy and enclosed a box of Unilever whitening cream for when you visit when I am PM. Apart from lack of democracy we as a country suffer from some other hot potatoes like racism / judgement skin color. I respect you, yours sincerely Sissy Uthep

[unanimosity]

Anyway.......Suthep could never make him smile like that

Don't be too sure about that, it might depend on what S would wear to the occasion. Have you not Googled the gay American president?

[Alwyn]

Dear Mr Suthep

Who are you?

Kind regards

Mr President

[jackrich]

Dear Obama,

we confirm we are non-violent protesters.

Kind regards,

Suthep

[unanimosity]

why write to this guy ...hes doing the same to the US population ...its all about power, money and greed >?

Can you be specific? How has Mr. Obama enriched himself or sought to position himself in a position of ongoing personal power?

In the US the Constitution prohibits a president from seeking a consecutive third term and all presidents since Mr. Roosevelt have honored this law.

The US certainly has problems but I do not feel that the political situations are even remotely comparable.

But hey, YMMV

My goodness, have you never watched a news source other than CNN or MSNBC? Pay attention and you will see more specifics than you can shake a stick at.

[DGIE]

Just can't see Suthep having the same effect on the Pres.

I think its the opposite?

[Gweiloman]

they have had their protest. It has failed, their numbers are falling and we just need more massive financial hits to the pockets of the backers.

This is simply untrue.

Just over a month ago we were talking about the validity of claims 6 million were in the streets, now we are debating whether they exceed 1000.

Its over. The Dems forced the government to call an election then fuc_ked up by not taking part in the said election. The anti government protestors have been badly led beyond belief and sadly the real motives of those funding it have become clear.

Six million or five million; I won't quibble. But just compare that to *any* of the Shins' "Million Man Marches."

There is no debate whether current crowds exceed 1000. There are some people telling the truth, and others attempting to mislead by prevarication. Anyone can Google Blue Sky Online and have a look for themselves.

While it's true that the present daily numbers are less than five or six million that showed up for the kick-off, my observation that the day-to-day numbers remain fairly constant. Except for immediately after the Victory Monument when the numbers actually swelled.

Happy to meet Gweiloman on Tuesday, and we can document the sites together. Can't get more fair and balanced than that.

Gweiloman, send me a PM, and let's do this!

Thanks for the offer but I think I will pass. Like I said, I live on top of the protests in Asok so I know very well the numbers there almost on a minute by minute basis except when I go out for meals of course.

In the beginning, the numbers were huge, to the point that I can hardly leave my apartment even. Since then the numbers have dwindled, to less than a hundred during the day, to a few hundred in the evenings when it get cooler to maybe a couple of thousand at night when the music's playing. Looking out of my balcony now, there's maybe a hundred or so protestors resting under the tents.

Of course, other sites may have more or less. Do feel free to post pictures that you take so that we can see for ourselves. Cheers

[DGIE]

Is the letter an open letter or did Suthep mail it?

It's nice to see the reply from Pres. Obama

[DGIE]

Shit ..... He can write too ?

you are funny mates Patje and Hawk!

I am like an idiot laughing alone here!

Why write a letter to the US President? This has nothing to do with the US and we certainly don't want them here. Better to keep them on their own soil and as far away from the Kingdom of Thailand as possible.

[DGIE]

Just can't see Suthep having the same effect on the Pres.

There was surely a dialog here and maybe...

"Ohh you're so beautiful!"

"really? Think you!"

"how I wished I would be single"

"you can be single, right?"

[jackrich]

Because Obama must care!

Let's remember that in May 2011, Suthep said "I don't respect farangs", in an interview with the AFP.

[diehard60]

This is the best joke of the day and I am sure the US president is laughing his head off. Suthep is really and completely out of touch with reality.

[diehard60]

Dear Obama,

we confirm we are non-violent protesters.

Kind regards,

Suthep

I love this. This is so great I think I will send it in a personal letter to Mr Obama. hahahahahahha

[diehard60]

At the same time suthep should write to the dictator of NK, Iran, Sirya and maybe a few more.

[AloisAmrein]

I am very tired to hear the word DEMOCRACY from Suthep and his followers. They do all to destroy democracy, not respecting new elections and instead wanting to install a so-called People's council", of course under the leadership of Mr.Criminal Suthep.

[tragickingdom]

What does Suthep think that Obama do not have tv in the whitehouse. That Obama forgot where he came from and support the rich over the poor? It is unlikely too Obama do not know about the killing zones from 2010.

[realenglish1]

Suthep wants to block the most fundamentals of democracy THE VOTE.

How can he say he represents democracy when he does not want to allow the most basic of principals of Democracy THE VOTE

He wants to lead by a council that is not elected

This man is a Marxist. Call it what it is

It is a wolf in sheep's clothing
