Anti-government protesters retake NACC

[kimamey]

Just demonstrates the general knowledge that these so called Independent agencies are politically aligned...Why else would there be political stuff like this going on there.... If they were legitimately corruption oriented as their reason-for-being implies, it wouldn't generate political confrontation.

The Red Shirts here are miniscule and representative of millions behind them nation-wide, who know tools of Ammart coup-mongers when they see them.

In any event, from what I can see, the UDD/Red Shirts are ready...Prepared for which ever agency or judicial entity the Ammart coup intentioned forces will use, as their vehicle to pull the coup-trigger.

Right now it appears that the NACC is the chosen instrument, but we will see.....I am sure there is a master-plan with someone out there.

BTW, this has nothing to do with 'anti-govt.' or with 'protesters' as this article's title suggests........Coup-mongers are not anti-Govt, they are pro-coup....and those agitating for a coup are not 'protesters'. They are not protesting. They are coup-mongering...............However, they try to hide that.....pretending to be self-righteously indignant about this issue or that as cover for other intentions and pretending to be protesters.

And how exactly do you know they're all coup mongers. Or is it because you've learnt that phrase an you think you can impress people with it. Well your fancy long winded posts don't fool me I'm afraid. The first clue is that they're totally one sided and usually have 'coup mongers' in them. You can't possibly know what every anti government protester is thinking and there's no way every anti government protester is thinking the same. In the same way not every red shirt is pro Thaksin or violent.

You should try thinking a bit more and type a lot less.

Scamper, old son, they didn't clear an Army BARRACKS, they cleared a small Army POST - not at all the same thing. There IS a large barracks just around the corner from the NACC, about a mile from my house. I suspect the original soldiers came from there, but can't be sure.

Also Dr Bruce, where is your evidence that the monk has 'attacked and tortured' anyone at all, or even expects to?? Loose hyperbole like that just makes a mockery of your post.

Personally I think it's great that the NACC is now guarded by others than the red-shirt thugs. Let's just hope the UDD thugs don't come back in force ...

"Personally I think it's great that the NACC is now guarded by others than the red-shirt thugs. Let's just hope the UDD thugs don't come back in force"

I am pro-Democracy and proud of it. In favour of electoral and Parliamentary traditions.

Very good that you are pro democracy. That means you are against PTP and the antidemocratic government. Right?

You define democracy and I'll tell you if you're for it or if I'm for it.

Democracy contrasts with forms of government where power is either held by one person, as in amonarchy, or where power is held by a small number of individuals, as in an oligarchy. Nevertheless, these oppositions, inherited from Greek philosophy, are now ambiguous because contemporary governments have mixed democratic, oligarchic, and monarchic elements. democracy in contrast to dictatorship or tyranny, thus focusing on opportunities for the people to control their leaders and to oust them if they are corrupt^]

Never mind Friesland Boppe. Friesland is an Northern province of The Netherlands who actually want to separate from The Netherlands. So its easy to see where he's coming from.

Actually a part of Friesland belongs to Germany just to be correct.

Rubbish

yes pro red democracy, set up a protest site then fire grenades at the building and keep all your weapons locally so you can access them. We can see how democratic the reds are, do what we say or we will kill you and of course you and the rest of the red appologists just go along with them because ............

You complain about the prdc guards but the red guards were all armed with pistols, they had grenades, an AK 47, M79 and rounds, shotguns etc but they are not violent arent they, pity they were caught red handed and the M79 rounds and grenades match the numbers of those used in the feb attacks too. Even the pic posted by dr bruce was of a man that attacked the monk first and was dragged away, did you notice no one was punching or kickiing him like the reds did to the monk, but you lot try to claim he was being beaten for no reason, what a joke you lot have become, just lucky we are not allowed to call you what you really are.

Things might have been different if the police had not arrested 4 of Ko Tee's gunmen/grenadiers and seized a stash weapons near near the NACC beforehand. I wonder got into the police to take action against the red shirts. I guess the reds were too arrogant and tight fisted to pay protection money to the police.

The redshirts later decided to pull out after being heavily outnumbered but vowed to return to recapture the place with more men.

Please make haste, those cheap plastic chairs need to be secured - for the sake of the nation. Even an ignorant foreigner like myself can see the Herculean importance of this historic victory ahead of you, and the positive repercussions that will emanate throughout the land, as crowds of dancing joyous citizens celebrate another momentous leap forward in social enhancement - and all thanks to your men scrapping over this piece of tarmac. Delay not this glorious reclamation. I don't think I could bear the disappointment, if your triumphant return was not expeditious. I only wish I had more than ten fingers to cross.

If you are what you say you are and in favor of electoral and parliamentary traditions then you should be against and ashamed of how this gov abused their positions in parliament (secret passing of bills in the middle of the night) and how they bought or threatened people into voting for them and how they condoned and spoke out about secession.

Just like this case in point with the Reds blocking a agency that is there to keep the leaders from taking advantage of their positions in power.

Having the Reds blocking the NACC and burning shiiit and used tampons at their door (which is a terrible curse in thai culture) and doing all this to end an investigation into the gov you seem to support. Make up your mind because these traditions in democracy and parliament dont include all the bad things this gov have been doing.

I think there was even talk about ID confiscation to keep them there. ( Not sure if that part is true)

It is. Hundreds, if not thousands, of ID cards were found stuffed into the sewers after the 2010 protest was broken up.

[tobf16]

Good also to see the police reportedly being willing to interpose themselves, between the two groups, rather than doing a disappearing-act.

They probably did it to protect the red shirts, since they were severely out numbered.

Anyway, good they did it so a probably bigger confrontation was avoided.

Since when are monks permitted to undertake political activities in Thailand? Is this action not against the vinaya? This monk should be de-frocked as politics is outside the purview of monastic activity.

Frysian boppe,

You are pro-corruption and proud of it. You are trying to defend a "democracy" which has become degenerated over many decades of misuse and corruption from all sides of the political spectrum. The Thai democratic system has failed, all the independent oversight institutions have failed, The Thai police is despised and scorned, nothing has any credibility left and the Thai people have exactly zero confidence in anything related to government. Yet, you are one of the staunchest supporters of a system that hides behind a "democratic" label, which is anything but truly democratic. "Democracy" means many different things for many people, starting from the ancient Greeks, who conceived it, to North Korea, who twisted and murdered it. It's just a moniker used to give an appearance of legitimacy and a "we belong" membership card to the international community.

Now comes along Suthep, who promises systemic reform on a grand scale...Do I trust this guy? Hell, no! From the first time I saw him on TV, maybe 12 years ago, everything in me screamed "Used Car Salesman". But there is no other. So, we are stuck with him. But, frankly, I prefer Suthep's uncertainty to the perpetuation and intensifying corruption of this government you are so proud to defend. How much worse could it be?

You are applying your own labels to the sides in this struggle for power.

You think that PTP are pro-democracy? A party dictated to by a criminal fugitive who is running from even more serious charges. A party that has tried to avoid democracy through cheating in parliament to deprive the opposition of the right of debate and even the right to vote. A party that tried to use its "cyber police" to stop anyone posting, or even liking, critical comments on social media. A party that refuses transparency, accountability and explanations especially regarding money. A party that refuses to answer questions about its illegal acts. A party that fails to condemn violence, murder of its opponents whilst some of its officers openly call tor treason rebellion.

You may will consider yourself a democrat, but applying that label to PTP is like applying it to Stalin, Mao, Hun Set, Mugabe. Their regimes have many similarities but democracy certainly isn't one of them.

Well to be fair, the red shirts evicted the anti-government protestors here first, and destroyed their stage - then there was the military post. So it looks like the NACC

will be the site to go back and forth. Perhaps they should just have the government erect a permanent protest stage and they could reserve alternate days. Maybe include a joint police/army bunker for security.

Or perhaps he's just saying that it's preferable for an agency/office to be guarded by someone who isn't out to destroy that same agency? Rational. Perhaps a little strong, they are only saying that they will do citizen arrests if they can see any of the NACC.

[MadDog2020]

In 2010 the protest leaders were paying the protesters to protest. I think there was even talk about ID confiscation to keep them there. ( Not sure if that part is true) In 2013/2014 the protesters themselves were funding the protests. Giving cash to Suthep. IMO that speaks volumes.

Sorry to burst your bubble here. My GF was at the protests many days over the last 3 month, even got tear gassed once. Each day she was given 500-1000 baht included inside the "free food". I don't know where it came from, it just magically appeared. Of course she had to be careful, the "lettuce" wasn't always what she expected.

I only say this to keep the details accurate. No intention of supporting or not supporting the practice.

But strange that all these millions keep staying at home. The last "mass" demonstrations of the UDD were a complete disaster.....And the Ammart is Thaksin and his cronies...hardly the Bangkok middle class, southern rubber farmers and increasingly the cheated rice farmer.

Actually no one want a coup.....everyone want the Shinawatras leave, not a coup. A coup is just one way to achieve that if they don't want to leave. But a very problematic way.

It's worth a smile.. that comment about disaster.. The only way the anti-government groups can get to power is a coup, I guess you joke!

If there is no help from the hidden masters in the back controling even Courts there will be NOTHING to win for the "middle class"! It is not the middle class it is the elites, that ones who got billions of the money should go to the country and the people... and there is some crumbs over to give to the "middle class", to brave follow the commands and wishes of the invisible in the back ..

Right now it appears that the NACC is the chosen instrument, but we will see.....I am sure there is a master-plan with someone out there.

BTW, this has nothing to do with 'anti-govt.' or with 'protesters' as this article's title suggests........Coup-mongers are not anti-Govt, they are pro-coup....and those agitating for a coup are not 'protesters'. They are not protesting. They are coup-mongering...............However, they try to hide that.....pretending to be self-righteously indignant about this issue or that as cover for other intentions and pretending to be protesters.

Coup count= 6 a personal best. Well done!! Mongers...well I'll leave that to others to comment.

Just demonstrates the general knowledge that these so called Independent agencies are politically aligned...Why else would there be political stuff like this going on there.... If they were legitimately corruption oriented as their reason-for-being implies, it wouldn't generate political confrontation.

But strange that all these millions keep staying at home. The last "mass" demonstrations of the UDD were a complete disaster.....And the Ammart is Thaksin and his cronies...hardly the Bangkok middle class, southern rubber farmers and increasingly the cheated rice farmer.

Actually no one want a coup.....everyone want the Shinawatras leave, not a coup. A coup is just one way to achieve that if they don't want to leave. But a very problematic way.

The only people constantly going on about a coup are the reds and their cheerleaders, no one ese talks about or wants one

And how exactly do you know they're all coup mongers. Or is it because you've learnt that phrase an you think you can impress people with it. Well your fancy long winded posts don't fool me I'm afraid. The first clue is that they're totally one sided and usually have 'coup mongers' in them. You can't possibly know what every anti government protester is thinking and there's no way every anti government protester is thinking the same. In the same way not every red shirt is pro Thaksin or violent.

You should try thinking a bit more and type a lot less.

Last I heard, the anti-government protest movement's goal was the replacement of the elected government with an unelected People's Council. Just how is this meant about without a coup of some sort?

You're just listening to a few leaders which doesn't necessarily represent the majority. I know many Thais here in Isaan who are anti government but don't regard a military coup as the answer. In my view it might not be such a bad idea if it were to allow the functioning of the administration of the country whilst providing time for all sides to reform the electoral and judicial procedures so they worked in a fair and non biased way and then have an election. I do realise however that that's something that's unlikely to be possible.

Of course there could be a legal threat to the government which whatever it's merits will be considered a judicial coup.

The other way is through 'agreement'. There is obviously concern about the electoral process which needs to be addressed and then there's the judiciary and the independent bodies. There are many claims of bias on both sides regarding those so it might be in everyone's interest to to deal with these issues.

Don't forget the people's council or whatever happens will need to be representative of all sides if it's to achieve anything.

Scamper, old son, they didn't clear an Army BARRACKS, they cleared a small Army POST - not at all the same thing. There IS a large barracks just around the corner from the NACC, about a mile from my house. I suspect the original soldiers came from there, but can't be sure.

Also Dr Bruce, where is your evidence that the monk has 'attacked and tortured' anyone at all, or even expects to?? Loose hyperbole like that just makes a mockery of your post.

Personally I think it's great that the NACC is now guarded by others than the red-shirt thugs. Let's just hope the UDD thugs don't come back in force ...

"Personally I think it's great that the NACC is now guarded by others than the red-shirt thugs. Let's just hope the UDD thugs don't come back in force"

In other words, this quote is one of anti-democracy and pro-coup....The pro-coup forces are the righteous ones, and pro-democracy are the 'forces of evil'.

I am pro-Democracy and proud of it. In favour of electoral and Parliamentary traditions.

Shame the Boppe-ing one is far beyond being too brainwashed to realize that Taksin, Yingluck, UDD etc. have no idea of the true meaning of the word 'democracy' and merely want to do what is good for themselves at the expense of the rest off the country, and he fails to comprehend that those who are anti government actually want real democracy and all that carries with it to come here for the good of the country. Glad that there are many of you that can understand these simple truths and a shame there are so many who refuse to accept the truth...
