Cricketnut Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Rally leader Suthep Thaugsuban has told the military that the widespread corruption of the Thaksin regime and parliamentary dictatorship are the main reasons he and his fellow protesters are organising mass rallies. In other words, counter corruption with your own set of corruption,... so it's still corruption here here....Sent from my i-mobile i-STYLE 8.2 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cricketnut Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Can't read much into this conversation, General Apichart is in charge of Defence Industry and Energy Centre, unless Suthep was negotiating to buy some fire power, also if the General has as much energy as I have, nothing much will happen , except at the officers mess tonight, when the message will be passed on Hic. Maybe Suthep just needs a charge of Energy he has after all been quite chatty of late.

steven100 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I just came back from Chaeng Wattana. The military all around talking with Suthep, I believe they will force the government to go. Also back at Sukhumvit military moving down. I seen a truck shifting troops on the highway. This seems to be getting closer to the end so hopefully this won't go on much longer and end without violence... About 60+ minutes ago saw about 100 or more police trucks/minivans in convoy heading to CW from Pahon Yothin Road. Military are getting involved now. Chaeng Wattana and thousands of protesters converge and other sites. Yingluck has not been seen so ho knows what will happen in the coming hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View looking down on protesters at Office of Permanent Secretary for Defence on Chaeng Wattana Rd (Pic @) http://t.co/uM79Tejx7U A few old ladies in wheel-chairs, according to Moonao, Prbkk, Dave and clan. wonder just how many of them are actually protesters and how many are police and army????? <deleted> does it matter how many were police, how many were army, how many were illegal immigrants? The fact is that the Shin dynasty is in its dying throes. Yingluck still doesn't know how to say "Hey folks, we made a big error here and are really sorry. We had the good intentions towards the rice farmers, but somehow it all went wrong" Not going to happen Shinawats are never wrong. By Songkran we will either be getting soaked and having fun or we will be in a civil war because in the eyes of the red shirts Thaksin can do no wrong. Tomorrow more farmers arrive with a convoy of tractors and farm equipment. Enjoy the show.. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PDRC/PAD protesters have been declining as there is no new galvanising issue, but the ineptitude of the PTP led administration has created a new set of protesters - apparently today about 10,000 farmers. The main protesters came out on to the streets because of the arrogance of the amnesty bill manipulation - and the protesters were not just Bangkok elites or southern agitators, there was a broad cross section of business people, health workers, civil servants and working people. The farmers are now on the streets because of lies about subsidy payments - and they have woken up to the fact that this is purely down to administrative incompetence, and are growing even more angry at the arrogance of branding them "fake" farmers I confidently expect that the government will screw up again in the near future adding more disaffected constituents when they run out of money to support their other schemes, but what it will be yet nobody knows, they continue to surprise with the inventiveness of their f*** ups, nationalising the banks to get their loan monies perhaps.

Valentine Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) When is suthep ever going to come and tell who would be acting PM and who would be in the cabinate of his PEOPLE"S COUNCIL???????? The reason he has not is because he can not and why because there would be no one in it as there would be a dictatorship with suthep as dictator.

benden25 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I think he should drop the word "mass " maybe the word miniscule is more appropriate now . There were at least 10,000 surrounding the building, where the mentioned meeting was being held, today. I wouldn't say that was "miniscule". Okay, beaten to it. Compared to the "millions" Suthep keeps going on about, 10,000 is very miniscule. Have you seen the other protest sites? There might be 100 people left at Asoke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rickirs Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Stupid question, I know... But, Suthep was not arrested at the meeting? The military has no jurisdiction to perform a civilian arrest. That is the responsibility of the police. If the protesters were viewed as enemy combatants, the military would have the authority to arrest them. Either the military did not tip off the police of their meeting with Suthep, or did but the police didn't come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All government offices are built from tax-payer money, in any country. If he doesn't want her to go to work, fine. But get the accuracy correct, if you please.

nonthaburial Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Stupid question, I know... But, Suthep was not arrested at the meeting?i dont think would dare,gerry adams,and martin mcguiness strolled about n.ireland pretty freely if you recall,presuming your english ofcourse,if not i apologise. Totally different tactics in NI and well thought out. You can take the likes of Adams and Mcguiness off the streets very easily, but that does not ease the issue, it compounds it, as their supporters rally to protect. The way it was done in NI was to use undercover SAS working with the Royal Marines who were the blockbusters, to eat away at the roots of the tree that was Adams snd Mcguiness. In other words take out the roots and the tree will surely die. And notice, the roots were nearly almost in "bandit country such as Armagh, crossmaglen, Londonderry and the likes" where they thought they were safe" they weren't and I know, as I was there. Now please tell me how the hugely inferior Thai military can even dream of doing such things without embarrassing themselves ?? Then we have the next issue can anyone tell me who the Thai Army answers to ? If it's the government who are their bosses, then it's not sensible to bite the hand that in this case over feeds you, if it's to the royal family, the that's another open question.

Fair elections, Thailand needs to bar from office the corrupt and filtering them out is going to be difficult as they have accused their accusers of being corrupt the person in the street does not know who to believe. I can see only one answer to this and that is their should be a royal commission to see over all things constitutional and "proper" that has the power to bar or remove persons who have misused public office from public office, the head of state (with guidance of his privy council) should be responsible for upholding the constitution, therefore holding office over all other offices within the Kingdom.

unanimosity Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 This is not about corruption and it is not about reform. Suthep and Abhisit had two years to institue reforms and clean up corruption with zero resistance from anybody. The question you have to ask is why is it so important to implement reforms now when they had every opportunity and all the necessary power a couple of years ago? What you have, like it or not, are a smattering of Democrat bimbos that are not smart enough to win an election whining and sniveling like car park attendants with their whistles insisting that the elections they can't win be stopped and their place in government be mandated. Well, now that seems fair.....NOT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
