26th suspect of 'Khon Kaen Model' terror group arrested

[Morch]

Amnesty over so throw the book at him. Show them you're not joking about cleaning up this rabble.

The amnesty thing never covered these guys, as they didn't hand the weapons in. At least that's the way I understand how

it works.

Some interesting wording in this article:-

'The police claim.....'

"discovered" in quotes

'prompting many Redshirt sympathisers to live under fear of political persecution'

No doubt we are in line for a procession of these grotesque charades, where things get miraculously "discovered" so people can get subsequently "disappeared".

But hey, at least 22 of the Junta's toughest warriors got a nice picture, looking menacing, for the family album. "What did you do under the military dictatorship daddy?"

It's what military juntas do; it's how they justify silencing the voice of the under-privileged.

It's a shame that so many here, who were brought up to enjoy all the benefits of a fair and democratic society, seem to revel in it.

the "sounds" of guns, grenades and bombs have no part in fair and "sound" democracy.

The red rouge has shown it's real face.

I guess more to be found soon.

Thank you Gen Prayuth for handling all this in transparent and responsible manners.

What was the military coup other than using guns, grenades, bombs etc. to overthrow a democratically elected government?

[aussieinthailand]

All paid for by that psychopath in Dubai.

And your ice-cream is to cold, it's the Psychopath in Dubai's fault he did it, and anything that is not to your liking he did also...

Do you think people can do stuff or pay for what ever themselves? and That Mr. T/S is the worlds biggest cheque book and buy's everything and every one?

wake up.

Not all red's are rabble, most are normal working people, and there are some extremist's also just as there is with the yellow's normal working people and extremist's

Unfortunately each time there is an election and the Dem's lose they spit the dummy and here we are again.

Thailand has enough laws' just not willing to have them enforced with unbiased and transparency.

for the record, I'm happy for any terrorist to be caught.

If indeed there are multiple Red terrorist cells....the bad guy in the chair may not know a thing about other cells!

[farangbanok]

Nothing at all like Texas in Khon Kaen. Thank God!

from OP

"The suspect, Noppadol Petchmadan, 42, was arrested at his residence in Nakhon Ratchasima province"

You should spend some time in the Provinces and learn about the geography and the people.

FYI Nakhon Ratchsima (Korat) is about 200 km to the south of Khon Kaen.

[klauskunkel]

Scores of activists and local politicians have been summoned and detained for several days at military camps, prompting many Redshirt sympathisers to live under fear of political persecution.

However, also prompting many more Thai citizens to experience a bullying-free environment and a first glimpse of what maybe a peaceful and law-abiding future.

How many guns did the military actually fire? How many grenades and bombs were thrown?

Now, how many were fired or thrown by red militia / mercenaries as part of the intimidation of anti Thaksin protesters?

A democratically elected government that was acting illegally, lying, cheating, refusing to obey the law, inciting violence and rebellion. Being democratically elected doesn't mean you are above the law and legitimize your corruption. Nor does it allow you to grant a free pardon do your criminal relatives.

Did you read the reports about this cell when first arrested? About the org charts found and who was on them? About some cell members being pissed off because a certain person had stopped calling them?

Of course, in your world view, all propaganda. Thaksin would never do anything bad like that would he? (Tip - research some of his video speeches from 2010 and you might get a more balanced view),

I would suggest personal money is rarely used - that's what slush funds are created for.

[Nickymaster]

Not surprised.

Remember these guys?

In his complaint, Wiratana alleged that Yingluck had committed malfeasance and dereliction of duty by failing to stop caretaker Interior Minister Charupong Ruangsuwan and caretaker deputy Commerce Minister Nuttawut Saikuar from inciting red-shirt supporters to commit the unconstitutional offence of trying to divide the country. Both ministers took to the stage at a red-shirt rally in Nakhon Ratchasima on February 23 and allegedly called on the red shirts to take up an armed struggle to intimidate independent agencies.

[tingtongteesood]

Good work gentleman, keep them coming and get the jail cells ready...

[inutil]

I really cant abide this ya-boo bullshit on these forums.

Did you know, supporting and promoting democratic processes isnt the same thing as supporting violence. Pointing out that fostering resentment from political detentions in the provinces isnt the same thing as endorsing armed resistance? As violence begats violence, so to will terror give birth to terror. But Its always a case of flashpoints or tipping points. And right now theres nothing remotely close to a tipping point which means that in the general red supporting community at large (the mainstream PTP support), actions promoting violence or uprising are marginalised and entirely unrepresentative of their interests as a community. So impossibly weird that youd ask farang on a message board to somehow justify it as if they somehow supported it.

Red supporters will be quiet right now in the country at large because they also want reform believe it or not (amazing to think that poor people actually like social mobility, isnt it!), and they realise that this has been generally and on the whole peaceful and non-targeted at them as individuals (and they possibly understand that rooting out hard line UDD fanatics will obviously draw the ire of the military (and may themselves wish to see it because on the whole most people dont like shit being dragged into their doorstep). Theyll also be looking forward to the Generals OBVIOUS plan for social regeneration in poorer areas. This will come, its no doubt on the cards. If you want to bring Thailand into the twenty first century you cant have half the population living in dire poverty. Finally, they also realise that assuming a fair crack of the whip, they will be back in a year or two through a general election. Lots of reasons then why no one needs to come in and defend violence and violent groups. But still, lots of room to raise concerns about extra-legal detentions without trial.

If the Army can actually get this "group" and it's "masterminds" banged to rights in a transparent way I'm all for it.

But

It's the organisation charts that amuse me I'm afraid. Are people not curious about these "finds"? Of course, every self respecting terrorist cell keeps an organisation chart handy. Especially if they can't remember that the man with the question mark on his head is supposed to be Thaksin.

In the press conference today at the Third Infantry Regiment of the Eighth Infantry Division at Siharat Dechochai camp in Khon Kaen, the deputy commander of the Second Army Region Maj-Gen Thawat Sukplang showed a diagram of the Khon Kaen Model to reporters with the man living overseas on top as a mastermind.

He did not identify the mastermind but just said he lives abroad.

http://englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/second-army-says-man-living-abroad-masterminding-khon-kaen-model

Or was it one the Army have put together using information from army intelligence sources?

Last time that happened we ended up with this supposed anti-monarchy conspiracy mind-map, which they eventually had to admit was based on rumours and that the names on the "map" were not involved in a conspiracy, it was just to show the relationships (who knew who in other words).

[robblok]

I don't often agree with fab4 but having an organisation card handy is a bit strange. Of course there are some real stupid red shirts but I doubt they are all dumb. If this is legit it must be one of the most foolish things ever. I mean one of the bases of terrorism (and yes those reds are terrorists) is to keep it in cells that don't know too much about other cells so if they do get arrested the rest of the network stays safe.

However they do love to be top dog in Thailand and they love to be in charge maybe they just do things different.. but it would be real stupid.

[siampolee]

As per usual fab4 you are trying to divert attentionfrom the thread topic concerning a terrorist cell by publishing a large image of a schematic style plan plainly to help your reading skills. Noticable too that schematic plan that has nothing to do with this topic.
