Lite Beer Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 Suthep aims for 'endgame' this weekThe Sunday Nation BANGKOK: -- Suthep Thaugsuban, leader of the People's Democratic Reform Committee (PDRC), announced yesterday that it will renew its fight against the government and the Shinawatra business empire as part of its "endgame" to uproot the Thaksin regime in the week ahead.In a move to get people to boycott Shinawatra businesses, PDRC will tomorrow and on Tuesday get its supporters to "purchase" homes built by SC Assets Corp; rally at Voice TV, which is managed by Thaksin's son Panthongtae; as well as disrupt businesses run by Thaksin's daughters Pinthongta and Paethongtarn.The PDRC aims to upset Shinawatra-owned businesses in a manner similar to the one used last week by PDRC co-leader Phra Buddha Issara, who booked into SC Park Hotel, which announced that that it was closing at 1pm on Thursday.Other protesters would be sent to lay siege to state premises.In the announcement, Suthep urged caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck to not run away or go in hiding, saying he knew that she has been living in a condominium on Ploenchit Road since Friday."Don't be afraid that you will get assassinated or believe that I will hunt you down. Actually, I just want to talk you into stepping down to make way for reforms," he said.Suthep said the red shirts' decision to hold a rally today will only accelerate the "end of the game" and warned them against bullying PDRC protesters because they were"protected by popcorn traders". He was referring to men allegedly seen carrying military rifles hidden in a sack previously used for corn seed.Caretaker Deputy PM and Finance Minister Kittirat Na-Ranong, meanwhile, expressed concern that the political crisis might affect the economy. In a Facebook post, he said the upheaval in Ukraine had not just claimed lives but its credit rating had also been downgraded from CCC+ to CCC.He said Thailand's GDP has been revised down from 4 to 3 per cent because a new government has yet to be formed."It is likely that we are heading towards recession or lower growth than expected,'' he said.Meanwhile, PDRC co-leader Thaworn Senneam said the group would file lawsuits against Yingluck and Chalerm Yoobamrung in his capacity as chief of the Centre for Maintaining Peace and Order (CMPO) in connection with the crackdown near the Phan Fah Lilat Bridge on Tuesday.They will also sue national police chief Pol General Adul Saengsingkaew and Police Region 2 Commissioner Pol Lt-General Kawi Supanant.Chalerm, however, expressed confidence that the Appeals Court would rule against the Civil Court verdict that was in favour of the protesters. The CMPO would appeal against the verdict tomorrow, Department of Special Investigation chief Tarit Pengdith said. -- The Nation 2014-02-23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bobl Posted February 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2014 The very fact they refer to it as a game speaks volumes about how farked up the political system here is. While it's not unusual for "endgame" to be used outside of a reference to an actual game, it seems to fit perfectly in Thailand. Sadly ALL the participants in the "game" are the ones least affected by it, while the population they all claim to represent, suffers. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Patpending Posted February 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2014 yawn. The sick jokes he makes about popcorn gunmen already fallen flat with the attact in Trat. Nobody on anyside laughing now. There is nothing at all funny about people with guns on either side and he is going to find it harder to shed the crocodile tears on stage today after his crass remarks of the past few days. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post notmyself Posted February 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2014 I don't see the point of twisting the knife when the game is over anyway but then if Yingluck had any sense of decency she would knock over her king and walk away. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Yunla Posted February 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2014 He should scratch the endgame phrase and call it Game Over because that is what will happen if these two groups of pontificating scoundrels don't sit down at the discussion-table and start working for the benefit of the Thai nation, instead of just working for their own shadowy backers. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post notmyself Posted February 23, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted February 23, 2014 What a bunch of B/S, been hearing about his end game every week for months now! So have the rice farmers who have not been paid. Without a free election there will never be an end game! I agree but from what I have seen from your posts you have a certain take on democratically elections which is somewhat odd. I'm a farang just as you are (?) but if I were to be given the choice between certain dictatorship (PTP) and not quite certain dictatorship (Dem's) I know which I would choose. If you have a wonton desire to be a slave then go for it and be chuffed but please don't drag others into certain servitude with you. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

telecom Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 The final push rant was getting a little boring and repetitive. Good to see something fresh now it's the endgame but please don't abuse the term. What is actually really getting boring is people like you coming out with uuuugh not another 'final push' and 'endgame' comments. Did you even bother your arse to read the content.... If you did, you would have seen that the headline is twisted to make it look like a final push, when in fact Suthep not once declares this. His only reference to it was to warn the reds not to bother coming to fight because it would accelerate the endgame. Which it probably would should there be massive bloodshed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomacht8 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) Any other political solution is better than this murder and mayhem theatre. 1. YL with her brigades and Suthep with his brigades; both stop and must step down. 2. In the next state lottery 01.03. in addition 20 numbers are drawn.The 20 winners will be obligated as Caretaker Government for 4 month.That would be cost-effective and fair. 3. New Elections on the 01. July 2014 4. All members of the last Parliament are excluded from the new Elections. ALL !!!!! No exception. They can not work together. They have only caused damages. 5. Convicted criminals are prohibited on electoral lists and in parliament/government. 6. Each party must establish a written election program. With content and Budget proposals of use. The public must be able to view the programs. Edited February 23, 2014 by tomacht8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalansanitwong Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 The only thing that surprises me about Suthep is that he's still alive. How does he get away with all this ? I dont care how many body guards he has because even an elephant could pass unnoticed through that useless mob. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
