Prayut promises to exercise absolute power 'constructively'

Recommended Posts

I am having a difficult time assessing whether to believe this or not as it is too close to the 1st of April.

Believe me. It's true. Prayuth doesn't do humour.

Oh! Wait.... after he goofs and goofs yet again... he declares it was only a joke.

"ABSOLUTE POWER CORRUPTS ABSOLUTELY" This has always been the case So why is this situation any different. Altruism ?

This will be the first time in history this has worked but then Thais need to be told what to do or they run amok.

In America, it was education. In Taiwan and Japan, it was education that lead to functioning representative government. Education is the missing component not an unchecked iron fist.

Prayut promises to exercise absolute power

Costas will be absolutely thrilled no doubt...................in a constructive manner.

'constructively'

Give the Greek a break. It was probably his influence (via phone in?) that convinced the dear leader to make a 180 degree turn away from his former strategy.

article 44, end of thaivisa ?

or only report, no input from members anymore, you know, just to be safe and let the google dollars come this way

someone should do a poll if someone actually clicks on one of the many many many ads this site show for every single comment, sometimes inbedded in the commets of user posts

...but...but...but...85% of all Thais think he is great and the Junta is doing excellent work and all are dingdonghappyhappy...

So...why the need for "absolute power"...constructively or not?

Costas? Robby? ...anyone?

Well...considering that almost 30% of the population are too young to vote, 85% of the 47,000,000 who can isn't very convincing, and totally unable to prove they're full of adulation either.

Take away the 7% that was always anti Junta, and that's without factoring in the Anti Government factions in the South, another 8% added to this, by the end of the year he's going to struggle to remain as popular as his polls are.

Almost a year down the line, nothing has been reformed, I do wonder how things would have gone, had Suthep and his cohorts got their way, and the PTP stepped down without the need for a coup.. ?

This was never about reforms, these are mere smoke and mirrors for the "bigger picture" gearing up for the event.

Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely ... this mantra has invariably proved accurate and is the most insidious and dangerous pursuit any person can seek.

It's beginning to look like he'll do anything to suppress the people's right to freely express themselves, demonstrate and indeed criticize and yet Prayut remains convinced this is a form of democracy.

Let him do what he wants and we'll see how long an oppressive regime is allow to operate that violates basic human rights before sanctions start getting piling on.

I fail to see how any of this can be for the good of the Thai people.

Does that mean he won't start a crackdown on mini skirts.

Constructive for whom ?

Not whom but what.

The country of course!!

There, you've had your lesson now - time to get off of his back and let him make the further necessary improvements without your pesky prattling on about Prayuth this and Prayuth that. The way he is going lately you will be running out of ammunition to criticise him thumbsup.gif.

Unlikely, he supplies more almost everyday.

Dear General scares me a little bit more every day...

I am real close to run to the bank and transfer money back to the old lands... just in case..

Don't be scared. It's just a nightmare.

Sounds like last drinks for any opposition in Thailand.

But what is the cause to invoking this clause? The General needs to explain. Once he has got it will be hard to take back.

You wouldn't be a investigative jurno in Thailand for quids at the moment.

Pity those two young men accused of the murders down south. A good lynching always give a rise in the polls.

No point in asking Robby. If you get a reply back from the expert, and you reply back, your posts get removed for unknown reasons! It's a strange but live phenomenon.

Chris, come on; do you really think the General has the capacity to explain anything that is outside the remit of personal gain?

"When asked why he did not opt for the state of emergency law or the Internal Security Act, the PM said those legal measures were used by two previous governments and had failed to prevent severe political conflict."

Just for the record:

- when PM Yingluck requested the army's support for a legal state of emergency decree after the court refused the police to use nonlethal force against protesters, the army REFUSED. The army cabal NSC (now the NCPO) felt such support would be interpretated as political support for the PTP and the army considered itself nonpolitical.

- when PM Abhisit requested the army's support for a legal state of emergency to stop anti-government protesters , the army ACCEPTED. And subsequently, Deputy PM Suthep DIRECTED the army to use live munitions against the protesters and the army did fire upon protesters indiscriminantly with DEADLY FORCE.

But admittedly one could say the army failed to avert conflict in both administrations.

... and the army considered itself nonpolitical.

you are right that the Army claims this when they think that it serves their purpose.

But it is a complete joke.

General Clown reassures the Thai people with yet more of his double-speak,

You should not be afraid of Article 44. In fact, martial law is tougher than Article 44, as it controls everything," he said.

ML is tougher? Really, General?

Where does it state in Martial Law that anything you decide to do and any action you take shall be considered as legal?

The fool thinks that Thai people are fools. coffee1.gif

Well he comes up with some good ideas,but can he see the required action through ? If he can get things done , then for now he gets my vote .

What say you Costas ? Many Greeks would like the GENERALS back.
