Ko Tee Admits Organising 'Red Riot' Forces
By Khaosod English


Police officers move in to defuse a homemade explosive device in front of Ratchapisek Criminal Court in Bangkok yesterday. A Redshirts activist has promised yet more round of violence if the military launches a coup against Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

BANGKOK: -- A prominent Redshirts activist has admitted that he has been preparing an armed "underground" force in the event of a military coup.

An audio clip with the purported voice of Mr. Wuttipong Kochthammakul has surfaced on the internet over the weekend. In the clip, Mr. Wuttipong could be heard discussing a plan to stage reprisal attacks against the military should the armed force launch a coup against Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

Today Mr. Wuttipong, who is widely known by his nickname "Ko Tee", acknowledged in an interview with our correspondent that the audio clip was genuine, and explained that he had been inspired to organise his own underground movements due to unfair treatment by the establishments toward Ms. Yingluck.

"All the so-called independent agencies are mobbing Ms. Yingluck. They want to deny her even a country to live in," Mr. Wuttipong complained.

He also threatened to unleash these "rioter squads" if Ms. Yingluck is ever ousted from her caretaker position, but admitted that the underground force he has been preparing is still low on resources and manpower.

According to Mr. Wuttipong, some members have to take loans from banks to help organise their local undergound groups, and he estimated the total number of members to be "several hundreds".

Nevertheless, the Redshirts activist is adamant that his small group is willing to "fight for democracy" should the need ever arises.

"On the day Ms. Yingluck is removed from her position, my group will immediately begin our operation," Mr. Wuttipong warned, "Gunshots will ring throughout Bangkok. I want the establishment to think carefully before causing any further chaos".

The Royal Thai Army has previously urged the Thai police to prosecute Mr. Wuttipong for his alleged role in the spate of political violence against anti-government protesters in recent months.

If the government doesn't deal with this loony, the army will. He can join Sae Daeng. Red apologists here will say he's only one man and what he says and does isn't the UDD stance. And yet, the UDD continues keeping quiet about this guy rather then condemning him or distancing themselves from him. If the red shirts are itching for a fight, I'll put my money on the army winning it.

[smutcakes]

You can never condone violence, and i presume this guy is a bit of Walter Mitty, but i don't know why anyone is surprised about this.

You continue to overthrow elected Governments of one particular voter base through non voting means, then deep hatred and crazy people will tend to surface.

[HonestQuietBob]

With any luck this guy is just "barking" so the Reds don't have to "bite".

[MunterHunter]

Hes the new Sae Deang and will be (rightly or wrongly) subjected to the same fate should he ever make good on his threats...

So how much smack talk does it actually take to get locked up around here?

Plenty of idiots in the red shirt movement who feel frustrated their poster girl is looking at a possible suspension for negligence. They're incapable of admitting she might well be guilty.Ask the farmers still waiting for their money.

Don't forget the policeman from Chonburi on stage who celebrated nthe death of the children in Trat to cheers from some red shirts, and then left in anger when Thida tried to tone it down.

Prayuth is right to come down hard on thugs like these ,

The red shirts are just going to have to get used to Somchai Wongsawat being the next PM.He's very boring but it serves them right for worshipping a dynasty. Try to elect your own leaders boys, decent

Folks who aren't corrupt or negligent, give up the Shinawat clan.

Suthep is still out and about running around so I guess it takes at least more than 4 months worth.

15 mins of fame for 15 years in jail. Not a good trade.

If the RTP can allow anyone to openly come out with confirmation of their proposed role in undermining the monarchy, and still allow him to walk free, then the most senior person at the top of the RTP should be dismissed, and they should keep going down the chain until they find someone prepared to actually carry out the role of a senior law enforcer...!

[rubl]

If the DSI can block accounts from those who were suspected to finance anti-government protesters, I would assume k. Tarit will soon, very soon come with a list endorsed by Pol. Captain Chalerm of those people who support this self-confessed terrorist and block all their accounts. Furthermore banks will be asked to provided details on loans recently asked for with reasons like "helping Ms. Yingluck"

Gunshots will ring throughout Bangkok. I want the establishment to think carefully before causing any further chaos

Shortage of resources (money) and manpower, but no shortage of firepower.

[siampolee]

The comments and admission made by Ko-Tee confirm that he is openly admitting to running a terrorist organisation with its intended aims to kill injure and maim people, cause wanton destruction and damage to property, such property being both public and private. along with his total ignoring of the rule of law if his or his paymasters ideals are not conformed to.

There should now be no hesitation in arresting this creature along with his paymaster and their cronies, his (Ko-Tee) violent rhetoric and actions in the past and now currently confirm that this creature is a danger to political and civil peace and ultimately that which currently passes for democracy here in Thailand.

His (Ko-Tee) rhetoric proves beyond doubt that he is engaging in, nay engaged in treasonable actions designed to usurp power in the Kingdom of Thailand.

Nah, aint gunna happen... this government isnt going to arrest anyone who is aligned with their ideals.

Just another blatent show of the 'double standards' this governemnt and its supporters were dead against... until its their side displaying double standards then its totally ok.

One unique ability of the UDD is to mould terrorists with fanatical views. They are experts at it all the way down from the leaders down to the grass roots that cheer innocent lives lost. They thrive on misdeeds and love to flirt with the wrong side of the law. This is of no surprise though. Most terrorist organizations are born out of a hatred or through a shared contempt of something. In this case it is there hatred of the army and the courts not allowing abuse of power and corruption to flourish. The UDD, born out of this cancerous love for what's wrong with democracies are not of an ilk that will solicit sensible democratic discussions. One would be to worried about checking them for a lighter and a concealed weapon as opposed to being offered constructive dialogue.

This cancer even extends onto the party they defend whose inability to follow the constitution is second to none. Whose ability to disregard the majority voice and still purport to be democratic. Criminals defending criminals here. Now Ko Tee is saying that if the constitutional court find yingluck guilty and even if the evidence is irrofutable the bullets will be heard in Bangkok? So he will break the law and attempt to start a civil war because yingluck was negligent. Doesn't matter if she was or wasn't, it is because the UDD don't respect a principle of democracy called "rule of law". So really Ko Tee will go against the democratic principles to fight for democracy. That's PTP logic right there.

And where is yinglcuk during all this? No guiding speeches to steer the ship through the storm. No inspiration speeches to calm the waters. No denouncing this armed militia uprising threatening the national interest. No. She has no problem alluding to the courts being biased on national TV to stir further hatred and to promote violence yet she cannot denounce terrorist attacks on national TV, but hides behind Facebook.

Ko Tee, your a poster boy of the UDD and epitomize what they stand for. Time to accept the will of the people however even if you don't like it accept it.

Red shirt apologists will have a tough time with this one. Ko Tee's like Jatuporn on steroids. The problem is that we already know what these people are capable of. We remember the massive arson which devastated downtown Bangkok in 2010 and we remember the looting of the department stores. For those who do not remember ( or choose not to remember ), listen to Ko Tee words today ...

" According to Mr. Wuttipong, some members have to take loans from banks to help organize their local underground groups. "

Ko Tee's memory needs to be jolted. Two days ago, a tape of Ko Tee went viral. All the news agencies reported on it. It is the tape that started it all. It called for the looting of money from ATMs belonging to the Thai Military Bank, as well as other banks, including Bangkok Bank and Krungri Bank. Speaking to Khaosod today, Ko Tee refers to " bank loans ". He apparently realized that his celebrated tape ( which is now a part of historical fact, like the infamous UDD secession tape ) made it clear he was talking about bank heists. The army has the tape ( as does everyone else ). They should now take him to court on the basis of it. Today, note Ko Tee's comment about the independent agencies ...

" They want to deny her even a country to live in," Mr. Wuttipong complained. "

He of course knows that the independent agencies never said any such thing. Suthep did, and for that he should be held to account. But the independent agencies have never ever made such a statement. But that doesn't suit Ko Tee's purposes, does it ? He needs to find a reason - any reason - outside of Bonnie and Clyde, presumably - to justify bank heists to a public who remember all too well how stolen designer clothes and jewels advanced the cause of democracy in 2010.

[robblok]

Just shows the true collors of reds and reshirt supportors. Totally different kind of anti government protestors.

[edwinchester]

Wifey just said something that got me thinking.

She is not alone in thinking that the reds are trying to provoke a coup.

Reason being that PT have so effed up that they are willing for the military to step in, wait a few years for new elections and emerge, reborn and untarnished.

[seajae]

this just confirms everything that we have been saying about the reds, if they do not get their own way they will start killing everyone. This is not about what is legal and democratic it is the reds declaring that they have to be given whatever they want, the fact that the ptp/yl have committed/ been involved in corruption doesnt even come into it, if yl is charged and removed they are going to start shooting. Where in the hell are the police/tarit in all this, this man has openly declared himself and his red shirt followers as terrorists and he is still walking around, why isnt he in jail. Anyone now supporting these crettins is declaring their support for terrorism, this is totally pathetic but I bet the red squad will try to paper over it..

I think the army don't really want police help, they know they won't get it anyway.

I think the military have their own plan in mind to silence this buffalo and his calves. A method that will ensure he won't be making any more speeches, and that also goes for Jatuporn and a few others.

Time for them to be discretely removed.

[siampolee]

"All the so-called independent agencies are mobbing Ms. Yingluck. They want to deny her even a country to live in," Mr. Wuttipong complained.

The truth of the matter is that it's her brother Thaksin Shinwtra along now with Ko-Tee who have caused and are causing and even now compounding the denial of Yingluck to be able to carry on living in Thailand

A Redshirts activist has promised yet more round of violence if the military launches a coup against Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra.

Now can you red supporters see why Thaksin so desperately wanted a coup ?

So he could bring out idiots like Ko Tee with his private army to start a war.

The army brass were on to him from the start and could see what he was up to so wouldn't have any of it.

Now he knows for sure there will be no coup things have changed :

He also threatened to unleash these "rioter squads" if Ms. Yingluck is ever ousted from her caretaker position

It seems he must have his war and as much death and destruction as possible, if he can not be in power in this country nobody can.

[marcusd]

From a MILLION FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY to several hundred still looking to be equipped.

OK BOYS time to take your pills and go to bed.

I said before, I live in Chiang Mai, red to the core a few years ago but RED now maybe but not RED SHIRT UDD or Yingluck.

[PepperMe]

The real problem is that the PTP/YL fools actually support these people and their threats. If they didn't they would have come out already, but have they come out to denounce any of these threats yet?...... NO.

That means they support them.

If the student network came out with things that the UDD and Ko Tee do.... they would have all been condemned the same day by just about every member of the government and screams would rise to have the lot of them rounded up at any cost.

That is the glaring difference.

Ko Tee is clearly trying ro extract cash from Thaksin with these threats, and I would not be surprised if he did a runner with it once he got his hands on it.

The best way is to neutralize Kotee quickly and send him to jail.........

He make a lot of provocation and It was behind the clask in Laksi (Sorry Kotee but you are spotted a lot in Laski this day....)

I think (his my own opinion) he perhaps behind the attack in Bangkok and Trat.

but suthep isnt telling people to arm themselcves and rob banks etc as well as start killing people if he doesnt get his way, he is doing it legally not forming a terrorist organization for the current govt.

"....my group will immediately begin our operation," Mr. Wuttipong warned, "Gunshots will ring throughout Bangkok."

This person should be locked up for the good of society. We don't need his contribution at all.
