Suthep aims for 'endgame' this week

[moonao]

Everyone knows this "final endgame" nonsense every second day is just some tactics to pump a charge into an already demoralized, waning and flat battery protest group.

it might have been effective the first few times, now after the 100th time, some of the sheeple are starting to wise up

[taony]

its probably just the last endgame of February.

[EyesWideOpen]

The true and final end game push will not come from Suthep, but rather the court system.

When Yingluck realizes that she will be facing jail time for her part in the rice scam, as fast

as lightning she will be on a private jet to Dubai with boxes of money. Exactly the same as Thaksin...

Actually Thaksin was overthrown when he was at the UN General Assembly, but don't let facts get in the way of a good story.

Guess it was his wife that was loading up boxes of money at the airport...This was the end play for Thaksin, meaning leaving before you are thrown in jail. Which was my point.... The coup is of no relevance.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thaksin_Shinawatra

"Thaksin returned to Thailand on 28 February 2008, after the People's Power Party, which he supported, won the post-coup elections.^[48] But after visiting Beijing for the 2008 Summer Olympics, he did not return to hear the final supreme court sentence and applied for asylum in the United Kingdom.

Endgame by continuing to attack a company ( it's staff , shareholders and customers) that has nothing whatever to do with Shin...trying to manipulate profit for someone. Endgame.? No...scandalous and disgraceful certainly

It is not possible to say for certain that the Shinawatras do not still have shares in AIS, Thaicom etc.

Last year shares were sold by Temasek to unnamed individuals hiding behind a Thai NVDR company - the shareholders of which have not been disclosed.

If the SET would disclose these shareholders, as they do with other companies, then it would be possible to know

Why should the Shinawatra family trade in NVDR's ???? Thai NVDR Co. LTD operates as a subsidiary of The Stock Exchange of Thailand. It legally circumvents foreign ownership restrictions for foreign investors in Thailand. While NVDR's are non Voting Depository Receipts they are regarded as automatically listed securities by the SET.

If you want to know why this attack on AIS and other companies and banks are happening - just ask yourself a simple question - who close to Suthep profits from it??

Wake up people this is not about democracy or reforms - it is about the honey pot - and nothing else - has always been - on both sides!

The old connected "elite" can't stand that the Shinawatras and cronies had both hands in the honey pot over the last 10 years while they only got some drizzles - they want the pot back!

Remember when Thai Airways was run by the Air force and they paid 30 baht for a cucumber wholesale - each of us could have bought it for 3 Baht at any market - those where the days - when they ruled unchallenged and never had to account for anything - losses where covered with billions from "secret military budgets" - unaccountable for "national security reasons".

[ThailandNoob]

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.

Wouldn't an unelected People's Council be a textbook example of "certain dictatorship"? And whatever you think of PTP, I hardly think you can call them "certain dictatorship" if they rely on the people to get re-elected every 4 years.

This Suthep clown sounds like Hitler in his bunker (aka John Cleese) - " Right that's it! We are going to have total war now"

[taony]

there is no one in Thailand remotely like Hitler. Can we stop with the references already?

[tobf16]

what happen to 'no negotiations' ? now he wants to talk ?

Talk and talk into is not quite the same.

"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.

Anyway, he doses have a lot of last pushes.

[ShannonT]

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.

She was in Rayong today at a funeral for several hours. Press and everyone was there. Why wasn't Suthep?

[Cnxforever]

We can see already what Suthep's "endgame" looks like - violent attacks all over on his demonstrators - to provoke the coup he and his backers have been waiting for all along.

The government has nothing to gain by these violent attacks against protestors and now according to the navy Admiral "foreign" troops are involved again! Trying to play the national security card ???

If it would be so easy for "foreign" troops to enter Thailand ambush innocent people - then escape on pick up trucks and go back where they came from - haven't the Thai armed forces who are supposed to protect the countries borders from foreign enemies failed the Thai people again? Especially when it is according to the Admiral not the first time this has happened?

First time you might be surprised - second time you better be prepared.

We all know what this is about - the ultimate goal is to provoke a coup to bring down the government - time is running out - and the people behind the scenes do not care how many of their "own" they have to kill to achieve their goal.

With an interim caretaker government in place and an inconclusive election they can not play the same game they played last time - their are no political factions which could be coerced into a coalition.

In the past after every coup time was bought to rob the country and put all their cronies in place with writing a new constitution - since this constitution is still the one the military has written last time - they need a new excuse to buy time after they take over - they call it "reforms"!

One of the two puppet masters behind Suthep has made no secret out of wanting to become PM - of course he would never be elected by the Thai people having been heavily involved in the 2006 coup.

Once they achieve their objective then the heist on the 100's of billions can begin - to recover their "investment' and loot the country again.

Suthep is like a dog chasing a car. If he actually caught it (Gov't) he wouldn't be capable of doing anything with it.

"Caretaker Deputy PM and Finance Minister Kittirat Na-Ranong, meanwhile, expressed concern that the political crisis might affect the economy."

Mr Kittirat, the economy has already been affected, almost fatally, by the billions of baht that have vanished out of treasury and State run organizations. Your government is technically bankrupt right now, without even considering the protests.

I would like any yellow to document the "What" billions of baht that disappeared for paying farmer's for their Rice,.

On September 7, 2013 130 billion baht was earmarked for the rice payments to the Farmers and approved by the cabinet. The Democrats called for a budget review that held up rice payment, then the Democrats resigned from the government in mass . PM Yingluck dissolved the house and called an election., as a caretaker government they do not have authority to pay the farmers with those earmarked funds.

As a result that money is still in the Thai budget "untouched". so kindly document your statement by Baht amounts, that disappeared to where?

Cheers

A nice attempt at spin,but that explains nothing about the Farmers money, due and unpaid well before the present demonstrations. And not forgetting the Mutitude of Banks that wouldn't loan the Government 20 Bhats,or touch them with a Barge pole,which you don't have to be a Mathematician to work out the money is not there,and long gone.

Basic fact is: if the Government had the money they would have produced it a long while back! And please no BS about Sethep and the Demonstraters are responsible for the Farmers plight,for having to wait for their money.what a huge embaressment,a Government in charge of the peoples money can't find a Bank that believes or trusts them to make a relatively modest loan by Government spending budgets,if it wasn't so serious for the Farmers livelihood, it would almost be laughable.I doubt very much you can prove the money is still in the Budget "untouched" as you claim!

So if it makes you happy,then do carry on spinning your nonsense!

Will this be the, this is the very last final and I really mean it, endgame?

Its only when you see a mosquito landing on your testicles that you realize that there is always a way to solve problems without using violence

poster or likers, i am a little bit slow for thinking, please explain, since i do not understand.

[Bkkbound]

One thing is clear, 6 months ago the Shins had a clear run, no threats other than the looming rice scandal, the self inflicted disasterous amnesty bill has left the Shins in power with no authority, they have a declining national base, an inept police force led by a man who is most hated by his own people.

They have a military who have fingers on triggers waiting for the wrong move to justify the taking down of the Shins.

The election has all but proven to have been a complete distraction that achieved nothing.

Internationally its widely reported that the protests are about corruption and Taksins attempt to usurp power.

Suthep has achieved what everyone predicted was impossible and unlawful, he has brought the gov to its knees, the courts will decapitate them.

The PDP are unlikely to find a leader capable of holding the party together and consequently are likely to fragment into their respective demographic power bases rathe than be held together by bribery and corruption. Such is true democracy..

Thailands future will be great once the likes of the Shin and Chalerms are of the scene.. Before anyone states it, Suthep has never sought personal power, he has done Thailand a great service.

"Suthep aims for 'endgame' this week"

Well the weekend is almost upon us, so what's it to be, Suthep?

One, final, this is it, now or never, final push for the endgame of, just what, exactly ?????

Sorry, what was his plan again?

Suthep Thaugsuban (20.55)

As a token of our appreciation, the PDRC leaders have unanimously agreed to return all traffic junctions that we have shut down to Bangkokians - Silom/Asoke/ Ratchaprasong/Pathumwan. This is not because CMPO or Chalerm is demanding us to do this, but because we care about Bangkok and would like to return it to its owners.

actually its because he is losing supporters left right and center, now down to only a few grandmas in wheelchairs, he has decided to stop embarassing himself.

must be very embarassing for him. anyhow when is this <deleted> going to be arrested and jailed ? the champagne is been sitting in the fridge for too long, i want to drink it

That's my reading too. He must have got the tap on the shoulder already. How the retreat and surrender unfolds will be fascinating. What are the courts going to do? Will they dare try to continue with a judicial coup? Will Suthep be protected or hung out to dry (I imagine there's plenty of people that wouldn't like him revealing too much of what he knows). Surely another full election this year, I wonder whether PTP support will rise or fall after all that has occurred? Will the Dems drop Abhisit for Korn (or Anand)?

[brewsterbudgen]

Finally Suthep does something halfway decent. I wonder what he's up to?

All these guys are somebodys sons.

Time to go home to mummy in the south now. Lets get back to shopping again.

Hubby been happy to see me locked out of Siam this year. Suthep out... shoppers in. yay!
