Academic thumbs his nose at junta council

[The stuttering parrot]

Amazing how the yellows brush aside the prdc members who are charged with insurrection and terrorism charges!

Oh that's right never happened !

Unfortunately, they can only see black and white: those ugly reds and those lovely yellows (blues).

[Piichai]

Everyone has a choice; they don't have to report.

But if they don't, they are subject to arrest, having their pasport revoked, and assets frozen.

Up to them.

you mean like sutheps arrest warrent

What are you talking about?

Suthep was at the AG's office bright and early this morning. He's dealing with it.

NCPO, you are not their mothers and you staged a coup to take their freedom away. Summon the yellow protesters who are sitting out for over 6 months.

Stickyrice, you are always good for a laugh... are you posting on behalf of your wife..? tell us, "you are not their mothers" but you did not tell us their mothers WHAT..? could be their mothers handbag ? their mothers panties ? Maybe you should have said.... "You are not their mother..!" that may have made sense ! Go back to skool...

Actually, Stickyrice's English is fine...

mothers = plural of mother. The NCPO has multiple members, so they would be multiple mothers.

mother's = possessive for mother. For example, a mother's handbag.

mothers' = possessive for mothers (plural). For example, all of the mothers' handbags.

Anyway, carry on....

And you are sure you government is corrupt free?

Well mine isn't and any who is caught out is dealt with by the courts .

Not an army coup!

By the way it's being condemned worldwide but the yellow gang on here know better than anyone else!

Western democracies will always condemn coups as they aren't democratic but I don't remember any saying they thought a government controlled by a convicted criminal was a good idea either. Whether the problems could have been dealt without either a coup or martial law is difficult to say without knowing everything going on behind the scenes. It didn't look like another election was going to work without action from the police and army. It's not good but it's now down to the general to show how sincere he is.

If things got this bad in my country we might have a coup but then that's not likely to happen.

It's just all soooo going to plan isn't it.

Don't think they expected protests against them in Bangkok.

Lets all go to bed now so we don't startle folk and hey.. lets be careful with our bedtime reading.

All the hi-so's loving the closures. and the owners simply dancing on the table at the lost revenue and empty hotels rooms and flights.

Wonder if the new constitution will be as brilliant and long lasting as the last one. Same people poised with the pens again by the look of it, and the people locked out of negotiontions and debate.

OP:
Red-shirt leader Suporn Atthawong and a number of other red-shirt leaders in the Northeast yesterday reported to the military in Nakhon Ratchasima.


Impressive results after just a few days. Even self-styled, tough guy Rambo is giving up:

Posted by webfact on Today, 08:02 in Thailand News

"Rambo Isaan" says goodbye to politics

BANGKOK: -- A United Front of Democracy against Dictatorship leader Suporn Atthapong announced his retirement from politics after being released from detention on Thursday's night.

Better known as Rambo Isaan, Suporn has been in detention for a week at Suranaree Military Camp.

The 50-year-old militant red-shirt leader said in tears he would now focus on living a peaceful life with his family.

"...but I don't remember any saying they thought a government controlled by a convicted criminal was a good idea either."

But maybe 'Western Democracies' knew that the conviction was 'arranged' by the people who opposed him at the time, the very people who were behind the recent protests and what we have now. Maybe 'Western Democracies' trust a guy who was set up more than they trust coups.

[robblok]

What country is that my friend. Utopia? If it's so great why not identify it? There is no government in the world that does not abuse it's power.

Netherlands.. have fun looking for examples.

Stupid reaction too.. schoolground stuff.. they did it too so its not bad

Are we Dutch such a trusting people?

“According to research by the European Commission, we have quite a lot of faith in the Dutch government. Although not as high as in Sweden and Denmark, where 37 percent and 22 percent feel that corruption is a big problem in their country. Only 51 percent of the Dutch consider corruption to be a problem.”

I guess if "only" 51% the population is worried about corruption then they must be wrong and the 49% that don't care or aren't worried must be right.

Wow to be worried about corruption is not the same as it being a large problem. Just read some Dutch newspapers.. oh i forgot you lack language skills like most native English speakers. Come back when you can Speak at least 3 languages.

[robblok]

Hot air from redshirts with high blood pressure now their game is done.

In my home country the government is not corrupt.. does not abuse its power and is a bit competent. There are loads of checks and balances and if they had done what YL had one they would have been in jail a long time ago. This is not a real democracy. If this were a real democracy id support your views.

How about LOCKHEED?

How about something recent I was not even born at that time, not everyone is an OAP.

Perhaps if the western democracies had said at that time that his conviction was arranged or if after his coup, they had said he should immediately be restored to power... your premise might have some weight.

In the reality of the complete absence of that, it's weightless.

So you are aware of the Lockheed scandal - thanks to the freedom of press in your country.

Something more recent? Bouwschandaal - Hoge School schandaal.

Or read this, from The Dutch World Service: www.rnw.nl/english/article/netherlands-​too-soft-corruption

And from National TV: http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2010/10/few_corruption_cases_investiga.php

Admittedly, nothing compared to Thailand, but you did claim to be corruption free.

PS. Have you recently taken a train ride with the Fyra?

[The Deerhunter]

The list!

Sounds like the blacklist!

Not everyone is going to roll over to this dictatorship and nor they should.

Suppress suppress suppress! Take away any freedom of speech take away democracy and deny a generation of young people of a life of freedom to express any criticism of the junta?

And people on here support this!

You wouldn't cop it in your own country!

And they also try to make sure both sides aren't corrupt at all, instead of leaving it to one corrupt side to point out the other sides greater corrupt nature.

Supporting Suthep to overthrow corruption in general is an absolute absurdity.

Still a few of the hard core red apologists singing the same tired old song in harmony. Boring and, well, just boring!!!!! Why not enjoy the peace? No "third-hand" grenade attacks (well we know the nice red people didn't do them and it is too silly to believe Suthep eas bombing is own people,) Speaking of Suthep, no Suthep or Jatuporn on the telly every damn night and good news every day about corrupt & violent people getting their cum-uppance. You are wasting a lot of good Buddhist karma by not participating in the joy the farmers are experiencing by being paid and the sound of teeth gnashing from the Middle East. Wake up and smell the coffee, or roses. The undemocraticly elected and undemocraticly acting puppet government of the fugitive crook is all over & gone. Hopefully to never return. The only real question was why you ever became an apologist for them in the first place. You can't all have been paid for it.

Well it is not as if Thaksin didn't have enough money to pay them all. Here we are two weeks into a better government and just at the beginning of it and they still are to blind to see the freedom the people are enjoying.

People who say there is no freedom of press should look at the Bangkok Post their is lots there that will never come on Thai Visa. It doesn't fit in with the excepted propaganda that the Thai Visa OK sources print.

You're hilarious. Why the hell would anyone learn to speak Dutch. A hell of a lot of good THAT'S gonna do anybody. FYI I'm a native English speaker, who happens to also speak fluent French and Cantonese. I'm currently working on my Mandarin FWIW. A large chunk of MY native English speaking country, also happen to be bilingual, so I don't know where your retarded comment comes from. We also liberated your asses 70 years ago (and we didn't have to speak Dutch back then, either).

Get over yourself. There's a reason why you're here, and not back home in your clodhoppin' Utopia...

"In my home country the government is not corrupt.. dose not abuse its power" So I guess your home country is Shangri-La?

Dream on mate, not a single country or government that ever was, is corruption free, or it's ministers do not abuse their powers.

Please tell us here just what country your from as it sounds utopian and a great place to live.

Yes we do, we live here.

Because of the nepotism and corruption its real hard to convict them. The best we can hope for is a audit of the books now the civil servants don't have to fear for their jobs (and lives) and can give the information about corruption. Now we can clean up and make sure the Shins never take power again. Remember they slashed the budget of the NACC by 60% so they could not fight the corruption of the government.

Make some better checks and balances and make sure things are transparent then politicians cant steal (as much) and as a result of that vote buying and inciting violence and paid for protests will be gone as it is a bad investment.

So IF we get real good reforms I am for it, but IF the general stays in power I would join your side against him. I just see this as a temporary phase to strengthen the checks and balances the previous government tried to remove.

I want anyone who is corrupt to do time.. Suthep included. Now its much easier to prove as now this government can't stop investigations. For the future new strict laws that are enforced would help it not to happen again.

I'm with you on this one Rob, all corrupt pollies and administrators should be convicted, including your beloved Generalismo. Should the NACC investigate the department of defence, the most corrupt institution in Thailand? should they also be brought to account? You would be SHOCKED if you knew how rich these top generals are. They have their own bank for Christ sake (TMB), originally set up to clean their money! The Shins are chicken feed compared to these guys.

There lies the crux. You believe it, many others don't. Is it too much to ask that you drop the intellectual dishonesty that every skeptic is a redshirt supporter? Go read some of the writings during previous coups and the similarity in rationale is striking.
