Thailand's DSI chief says five key PDRC leaders are foreigners

[pipkins]

This just gets funnier ..... Foriegners !! BUT ... but he can't name them .... Well Zip it Fred !! ....Wait till you got some concrete evidence before rambling on ... That goes for all the finger pointers .....

Posted a pic on here of 2 ex French Forces in ballaclavas at the stage helping out with strategy.

Can't find it now, but he was a big dude with long hair. They'll get him.

Also yesteday there were 2-3 falangs on the PDRC mob that shut Chumport post office. Again, pics on here.

[Scamper]

Yet another bizarre statement by Tarrit. As always the charge is maddeningly unspecific. Why is that the case time after time ? The accusations are made, and then they become a point of mystery. So it's clearly intended as a talking point for the international media - the PDRC has been infiltrated by foreign powers ! But at this point, it seems he's grasping at straws as the petition to apprehend the sixteen leaders was turned down by the Criminal Court. The issue of the emergency decree is likely to end up in the hands of the Constitutional Court. It was never invoked to maintain security on the streets, in any event, as that was the intent of the Internal Security Act, that has been in place since August - for those that even noticed. The emergency decree was clearly invoked for only one reason - to clamp down on the media. The media are now " asked " to refrain from covering the protests - and one presumes that would inevitably include the attacks against them. The power of the media is a powerful thing. Until it is controlled. And then it becomes impotent.

Exclusive. The 5 foreigners leader is a man known as Dave Clarke.

The Department of Special Investigation (DSI) says five foreigners are among the leaders of the People’s Democratic Reform Committee (DPRC) now protesting the caretaker government and February 2 election.

The DSI chief Tarrit Pengdit, however, did not elaborate the nationals of the five foreigners he claimed are among the PDRC leaders but said he would like the PDRC for clarification.

This doesn't make any sense:

The Department of Special Investigation, which I "assume" is suppose to have a team of the best criminal investigators in Thailand, needs clarification from the PDRC?

Aren't the public suppose to get the clarification from the DSI?

Another point though is, why even talk about this in media if you don't provide some evidence to back it up. It's not even news worthy, as you don't tell us which nations the "five foreigners" are from. Just drunk talk.

Mr. Pengdit, get a grip. You're insulting peoples intelligence.

[Thai at Heart]

But I thought foreigners can't understand thainess?

[LomSak27]

Who gave him the info, Robert Amsterdam

Likely the same guys who discovered the hundred odd Cambodian mercs who infiltrated and are set to instigate mayhem on the good PDRC Protestors

[HOAX]

But I thought foreigners can't understand thainess?

Sometimes I'm just glad I don't understand

[geriatrickid]

I just wish that before making these grandiose announcements, they actually arrested someone and then held the news conference.

More like David Ike...

If they are suppoed to be British it could be these twe.

[Dogmatix]

Come to think of it the Bkk Post the other day profiled an Indian guy who is a leader of protests in Silom. At 70 or so, he has been in Thailand most of his life but for some reason never applied for nationality. He is well connected with influential retired police generals though, so I doubt they can do anything to him. Nevertheless I was surprised that he agreed to be interviewed and don't understand why he never became Thai.

[FalangBaa]

Farang him no good!

Come come GK.

You've been here long enough to know that the world of fantasy is alive and well in what passes for the mind of the average Thai bureaucrat.

[Why ask]

Far From the madding crowd's ignoble strife

Their sober wishes never learn'd to stray;

Along the cool sequester'd vale of life

They kept the noiseless tenor of their way.

The madding crowd is, of course, not the protestors........ who continue quietly.. with nobility and calm! .. wait, I forgot 'soberly'.. Hum.. where's Chalerm now?? .. beheading himself again, because his 72 Hrs is up???

WWWWWWTTTTTFFFFFF?????????!!!!!!!! So suddenly it's the FALANG's fault from out of the blue...

.... okay arrest every foreigner in Thailand without evidence, because your master Thaksin says so.

[FalangBaa]

Have some important info for Tarrit.

Even the leader from this country is a foreigner, he has a Montenegro passport.

Ya, AV still has his British passport and that also make him a British subject.

Abhisit claims he doesn't and has never had a British passport, as does Korn. While I think it unlikely they never had them, given their long years of study there they would have been foolish not to apply, they are British citizens whether or not they have passports, until they have formally renounced citizenship, paid a chunky fee, and it has been approved by the Home Secretary. British citizens who don't want to apply for passports can also claim right of abode in the UK and (for another fat fee) obtain a certificate of entitlement in their foreign passports. This will also entitle them to visa free travel some other countries, including Gibraltar, and easier visas to others. I can believe that AV hasn't had a British passport since he became party leader but he may well have a CoE nestling in his Thai passport and can apply for a British passport at any time. His daughters are also British by descent. Thaksin's son was born American but apparently renounced US citizenship about the time his father transferred SHIN shares to him which would have caused complications due to the US policy of global taxation.

Abhisit is a Geordie. He was born in Wallsend. The true colour of his shirt is actually black and white, which explains well enough why his hatred of red shirts is instilled since birth. Buddha help the other side if he decides to enlist the Toon Army to do his dirty work. Fuelled by enough cans of Brown Ale, the coup will be over in less than a day, the first Thai coup orchestrated by the Toon Army and then a thousand-year reign of peace and political stability will spread across the land. All he needs to do is arrange free or cheap flights from NCL to BKK and that would be his strategic master stroke.

for once i ACTUALLY agree with you.

[whybother]

He can't "still have" something that he never had.

[Lingba]

Do they have work permits?

[takkatan in the land]

I don't think many foreigner would like to be involved in such as thing, but by the way I think it would not be worse than now and never a negative thing.

I'm telling you more, without foreigners contribution Bangkok would seems like Rayong or Chiang Rai but with no beach or mountain

[scorecard]

OMG now this one is at it .... so whats the bet this time ? Chinese or North Korean ..... kinda makes sense but...... naaaaa just more xenophonic thainess bs

PS if the court revokes the SOE after Suthep has confirmed they will do everything they can to stop the election process then the Civil court are paid off and bought .... no question.

What rubbish. Ever heard of the law.

Almost correct still makes it incorrect, or maybe an attempt to twist the truth a wee bit.

Abhisit may still have the British passport his parents got when he was born, maybe even one or two from later. What he doesn't have is a 'current, valid' British passport. None of this makes him a British subject though, it's just having been born there when both his (Thai) parents were working there.

To be fair even with Thaksin having a Montenegran passport he remains Thai, not a foreigner. Thaksin even has a brand new passport, delivered October 2011 from flooded offices, with the compliments of the MoFA Surapong who just happened to be related to the criminal fugitive.

Anyway, neither Abhisit nor Thaksin are PDRC leaders

OK! I've already found the other two! They are definitively not from this earth.

But I'm wondering if Chalerm will have the balls to catch them

I guess Michael Yon is one of them. Wonder who the other four are?

Is this the fella you mentioned? If so, been reading about him..nutjob or what!

Did his parents get him a British passport when he was born?
