He said Thaksin did not support the use of violence and would never commit violence.

He said Thaksin has been monitoring the situation in Thailand with concern ad would like to call all sides to respect the people's voice made via an election.

Does anybody know where this "accusation" came from, is it another PDRC facebook wonder fact - or was it another attempt to regain interest on the Lumpini stage? I must say it does smack of desperation.

A lot of international expert had agreed with the fact that Taksin in 2010 has recruited with help of Khattiya 300 mercenaries.........

Why he doesn't make it this time ?

What pictures do you require? Pictures of the MiB?

"He said Thaksin did not support the use of violence" ... unless it's from the UDD in which case he's all for it.

The only desperation i see is the fact that Thaksin's true involvement over the past few years might be coming closer to seeing the light of day vis a vis the Abhisit/Suthep case and he's worried no one will love him anymore.

prostitution in thailand...??

Nope.

Gambling?

....Nope

Corruption?

Nope

Thaksin....

Who?

Tourists (for a short stay!???

YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

This annoncement sounds like a preemtive PR measure, against impending revelations about the Dear Leader's involvment in violence against protesters and bystanders.

Indeed PTP are so busy blaming others for their own problems, well spotted!

1st time round the men in black were shooting reds so doesn't make sense now ,god knows where their allegiance lies

The simple question should be Why would he do that? There need to be a motive, and for the election winners there is none.

WOW , trying to rewrite history , why then were the U.N. investigating Thaskin for human rights abuse and where did that human rights lawyer disappear why was over four thousand plus murdered in the north under the disguise as drug control , the massacre in the temple in the South and here is this freak trying to tell me that Thaskin he not like violence , give me a break. As for the men in Black , anything's possible, I am sure that DSI T is investigating and is just about to lay charges , just like the luxury imported car parts.

It's hard to know which election Thaksin is referring to when respecting the people's voice - the one that was a work in progress that showed 68 % of Thais either not showing up or voting " no ", and where the Pheu Thai support dropped from 16 to 8 million - or the new one proposed by the EC which Pheu Thai seems to have no interest in at all.

A very true word. Especially the "Thaksin did not support the use of violence and would never commit violence." "I'll stand behind you, far, very far behind you" while shopping in Paris with his daughter.

For your information, Thaksin is not involved in the elections, he's not participating, he doesn't control either sister Yingluck or her government, he has nothing to do with the orders Pheu Thai follows. He's just a golf caddy, suggesting which clubs to use.

How about hopping over to the thread about the red-shirt hero's beating up the monk - the red brigade need some input to justify the attack - seems there is an urgent need for some desperate comment.

The anti-monarchy/PDRC "reporter" Andrew MacGregor Marshall has it in one of his history writings, you need to Google it. It wasn't Saeh Deng, he was seen as a clown. I don't want to repeat the name of the real military general behind Thaksin's war room.

It is common knowledge that Thaksin ordered many deaths but when paid enough money of course his attorney will deny anything. What a joke. Some people prefer to keep their head in the sand, oh well.......

"He said Thaksin did not support the use of violence and would never commit violence."

I recall when Thaksin had better times and was proud of his war against drugs (3000 dead, 1500 officially not drug related....real numbers might be worse)

Or Tak Bai with 76 deads and Thaksin made cynical comments that they only died because they were weakened because of the Ramadan....

He said Thaksin did not support the use of violence and would never commit violence.

Even an accomplished prevaricator like Noppadon must have had a hard time getting that out. By the way, does anyone know why he isn't in jail yet.

rubl, you do talk crap nonsense at times. Where do get all these "sayings" from. What is their relevance? Go back to defending the army.

Isn't this supposed to be a contemporary complaint or are we regurgitating 2010 again?

I am very surprised to read that. (irony off)

Just look in whose interest is / was it to intimidate the anti Thaksin (-government) protesters?

Translation.

Thaksin via family members and/or associates did hire men in black to attack protesters from high-rise buildings and from other locations.

The allegation made by the People's Democratic Reform Committee that Thaksin hired men in black to be stationed on rooftops at 40 spots around Bangkok was well founded and that was only a small part of their brief.

Thaksin enthusiastically supports the use of violence in order to get what he wants, to punish those who cross him or his family members (past and present) and close associates and to teach alleged drug dealers and pesky Southern Muslims lessons they'll never forget.

Thaksin has been monitoring the situation in Thailand with concern ad would like to call all sides to respect the people's voice made via an unconstitutional election, so that he and his family may resume the hollowing out of Thailand's public finances, extract vengeance on all political foes and rivals and, most importantly, pass the Amnesty Bill suspended by the Senate to absolve 25,000 corruption cases including his own.

He said Thaksin did not support the use of violence and would never commit violence.

Even an accomplished prevaricator like Noppadon must have had a hard time getting that out. By the way, does anyone know why he isn't in jail yet.

Are you confusing this man, on the left of Hun Sen the Meek (Noppadon Pattama) with this colorful outspokenman of PTP (Prompong Nopparit)?

Understandable, because there are two Noppas, one of whom, Nopparit, should, apparently be warming his bum in a jail cell. Along with many others of course.

Yeah, right, believe ya ... Must be true cos he's a lawyer ...

and who to use them on

and be quick about it. rich teacher is turning himself into a joke trying to defend it. Also two others need your valuable insight into how to turn it around so the headline will read Monk attacks 30 peaceful red shirts as they are building stands for the PDRC to hold a rally on.

Your just the man for the job.

Who is this guy, Thaksin? Somebody important?

Maybe not this time... but do u think he didn't use the so called Men in Black in 2010?
