Popular Post Scamper Posted March 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2014 " Mr. Surapong reassured that the Premier would keep on fighting for democracy, saying without it, the international community would not recognize Thailand as a stabilized nation. " With the release of the interview with the U.S. ambassador to Thailand, this is clearly nonsense. Thaksin's cousin is creating his own narrative concerning the international community that has no basis on fact. The U.S. ambassador's statement couldn't be more contrasting to Surapong's. The U.S. is not taking sides. But they see the protests as peaceful, whereas Surapong does not. The U.S. ambassador also takes the time to emphasize what John Kerry has said - that democracy is not only dependent on elections, but the rule of law, strong institutions, and an independent judiciary. You won't ever find Surapong saying that. In fact, he has just written to the U.N. asking it to admonish the Constitutional Court and the independent agencies ! There could not possibly be more distance between what Surapong says and the U.S. recognition of the right to peaceful protest and the need to strengthen - not diminish - the rule of law. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post djjamie Posted March 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Surapong reminds me of Stalin. In so much as he hides the truth by rewriting it. In no case should people see the truth or at least when they have deny it and rewrite how you interpret it. Stalin rewrote Russian history. His henchmen went into libraries and cut pages out of books, and replaced them with other pages that said what Stalin wanted the people to read. With the internet as a free flow of information one could say Surapong is mirroring Stalin today. When the PTP supporters tend to swallow anything the PTP and UDD say disguised as a fact when it is a down right lie or a "belief" then they become brazen and push the boundaries. This is a case of pushing those boundaries for the gullible to swallow. No facts presented by Surapong. Every word goes against the grain of the majority driven sway yet he says it without a second thought. Hogwash I say as would most people that hold facts and truth high on their agenda (not a political agenda) would agree. Lying is a politicians trait and just like a tennis player going to Novak Djokovic to perfect their game a politician can come to Surapong to perfect theirs.

Popular Post thesetat2013 Posted March 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2014 YL doing no wrong?? Protecting democracy?? 2 years of outstanding performance?? A stabilized nation?? If YL did no wrong then why are their so many investigations happening with her now and so many seeking legal actions against her. YL doesn't have a clue what democracy means. If by stating outstanding performances doesn't that mean she showed up to meetings she chaired and contributing knowledge and being impartial and actually doing her job as PM. Does surapong actually believe the sh££t he is spouting or is he just kissing a--?

Popular Post Baerboxer Posted March 26, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) It's nice that that he supports his cousin in her hour of need . Guess the more important cousin told him to say this. Do you remember that during the floods of 2011, Hilary Clinton, supported the Yingluck administration? Hilary announced US aid would be available and one of the important things was to rebuild police stations so that the rule of law could be upheld. This was seen as US support for PTP and an implicit warning not to use the floods and accusations of corruption and mismanagement as a cause for a coup. Now the US is much more careful in supporting the ideas of democracy, rule of law, justice, peaceful protest etc. Secretary Kerry and Ambassador Kerry are careful to articulate this without any implicit or explicit support for PTP, Yingluck or her administration, Events between then and now seem to have altered their view, Maybe Thaksin's cousin should reflect on this, "Not done anything wrong" - that's for the courts to decide not a close family member and possible future defendant. Perhaps he will take the wrap for the illegal passport issued to his criminal fugitive cousin? Should they ever bother to answer the ombudsman of course. "Outstanding performance" - well she did help the family increase its wealth 450% since taking office, and pay her criminal fugitive brother 1 billion baht back. All whilst avoiding parliament, lying, cheating and presiding over a massive fraud that has impoverished thousand's of farmers. That's pretty outstanding. Or is he referring to her acting performance? Now that is really outstanding. She lost her credibility in politics very quickly after taking office. She would never be able, or capable, of getting it back, Edited March 26, 2014 by Baerboxer 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siampolee Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) The classic example of an addictive habit by Surapong who yet again demonstrates what passes his own minds as the truth. However the reality is that Surapong is controlled by Thaksins multiple mindsets and the addiction to distorted truths, lies and corrupt practices. The greatest fear that the Shinwatra clan have is that of the affects of ''cold turkey'' due to the cessation of the regular injections of finance from the state coffers of Thailand coupled with the prospect of a dose of the truth and its resultant affects upon them. Incarceration and the exposing of the truth. Of course Yingluck must stay the course the alternative of facing the truth and paying the penalty is indeed too worrying for an elite person of the Shinwatra clan who is all but imprisoned by her brother in the position of caretaker Prime minister whilst he (Thaksin) is as free as a bird.
