ChrisY1 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 The purge of the Shinawatras has begun...........

EyesWideOpen Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Time to bring in the "Big Guns". The stage is set for (drum-roll)Yaowapa Shinawatra. She Who Must Be Obeyed , Yaowapa, will be keeping very quiet at this point. The ultimate final battle for control of Thailand will be occurring in a few years. So she needs to sit quietly, wait, and keep her powder dry. Then she can become the latest Thaksin clone to assume power when elections finally occur. On a side note, having Yingluck talk about democracy makes me want to throw up in my mouth a little bit.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mosha Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 'Democracy has died in Thailand today': Thai ex-PM Yingluck that was actually May 22... NCPO tells Yingluck not to hold press conference and basic rights like freedom of speech went with it. What freedom of speech would that be? You can be sued for telling the truth in Thailand.

Robby nz Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Thaksin could well be at this moment be engaging a sculptor to design a statue to the heroine of democracy and martyr to the poor to be erected in Chaing Mai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But there was a very large crowed of Thai and foreign reporters waiting at the SC (Thaksin owned) hotel waiting for her to arrive. There's a photo of the of waiting crowd of reporters and video/still cameramen on another site. These clowns have no hesitation to lie and spin anything. Different point, wonder who wrote what she put on her facebook page. Certainly not her. Edited January 23, 2015 by scorecard 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tezzainoz Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Only the junta can hold a press conference. Her freedom of speech has been denied. Shame on this junta for being so one sided with one voice. And not the voice of the people. Freedom of speech shoo;d always take 2nd place when the reason for the speech is to cause problem and split the nation in 2 As [er her comments 1/2 the population in the BKK Hilton say and feel the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on those unelected 'appointees' and shame on some TVF 'pundits' for supporting a military junta and be careful what you wish for The only thing I wish for is better days for this country we live in. For 7 years now I've been hearing and witnessing social unrest, killings, corruption disrespect for any law, disrespect for the Thai citizens. For the past 6 months tranquility and enforcement of the law is taking place. You, Sir, better take the blinkers you are wearing off and Thank the current government for what they are achieving. Rhetorics is a cheap way to express yourself. any disrespect for Thai citizens comes straight from YOU and your disrespect for the millions who voted, since 2001, for the government THEY wanted tranquility by the gun? unelected appointees impeaching the ex-PM? you, Sir, are mad or bad and I can't decide which sounds to me like your a poor looser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomross46 Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 The overthrow of the monarchy during the first coup did not bring democracy. All we have had is one corrupt government after the other.

Popular Post Gunna Posted January 23, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Yingluck's version of democracy: 'we win the election, we get to do as we please with no censure until someone else wins the election. The end'. How this women ever got this far in life amazes me, luckily her brother gave her a job. At least she won an election,I don't remember Prayuth won an election Democracy in Thailand died the day PTP announced it was bribing all the rice farmers by paying them double the going price of rice and then using Thailand's money to pay for it. If Taksin and PTP had funded the rice scam at least Thailand wouldn't be paying for it for the next 10 years. Or was it when they were giving a rebate on the tax for 1st car buyers if they voted for PTP. Or was it when they announce every child would get a tablet if they voted for PTP Or was it when they gave a convicted criminal a new passport Or was it when they tried to illegally change the Constitution Or was it when they tried to give a blanket amnesty to convicted criminals Or was it when they let gunmen shoot and fire grenades at peaceful protestors Edited January 23, 2015 by Gunna 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangrak Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 But she was elected PM ... by her absent brother ... the only person whose vote counted ! Or, as he memorably put it several years ago, "Democracy is not our Aim !" in fact Thaskin's vote was never counted, the over 15 million of Thais that voted PT and the 13 million that voted for a PT MP are. Democracy died last year, and this charade only reinforces this simple fact. Everybody should have the right to express an opinion. Though anyone saying or writing there has, ever, been a 'democracy', or even anything seriously aiming to start up a 'democracy' in Thailand, I will call a fool or a liar! Forget about red, yellow or blue, about the DP, the TRT/PPP/PT, they are all just vehicles of parts of the same old and new elites, whose parasitic activities can only go on thriving as long as 'the system', their system, is not destroyed, and till then it will be de facto impossible for 'democracy' to get born and grow in Thailand. Where are the proud and brave Thais able and willing to achieve that? Exactly: nowhere, as the masses are kept uneducated, to be easily usable by... 'the system', they fear too, being 'the authority' they are hammered in to respect always and in all circumstances, also today. The present 'team' have, or should I already write: had, the unique opportunity to quickstart a 'rapid evolution' towards successfully planting the seeds of 'democracy', but it seems to become just the same wine in other vessels, set at maintaining 'the system' in place, blind to the growing probability of a future revolution, when they don't succeed in making their promises true in a fast motion, with all the shocks, excesses, and bloodshed, it would bring to a country which is sadly becoming more and more 'the hub' of tardiness, even among other ASEAN countries it was far ahead of less than 50years ago... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit though that for Thailand it was extreme bad luck to have an Yingluck as its first female PM, as she is, IMO, the perfect illustration for the caricatures retarded macho-men spread about women in general, all the flaws of a dumb bimbo (as women also call persons of the kind!), none of the qualities making a human being, male or female, a great personality, even a too-nice-but-fake face she made maximum use of. Tell me one single thing, except her sex, she has in common with the growing number of female persons climbing to, or having reached, high functions/positions, one, please. Does it justify sexism? IMO, only when she was mis-using, abusing of, her 'femininity' and when she asked, expected to be handled in a different way as a man would have been. Anyways not more than when Thaksin repeatedly called her in public: my puppet, my clone, while making a PM out of her! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
