Cops hunting down 'counter-coup' rumormongers

[Reigntax]

If there was a counter-coup and the original coup makers plotted a counter-coup of their own, oh I am all confused now...............

You would need to be qualified in counter-coup counting to work that one out!

[Reigntax]

I cant understand why the TAT aren't all over this for a new Thainess campaign.

"Visit Thailand, see the birth of the new North Korea" or

"See a Thai Coup in full action. No coup, get your money back."

"Pay to see one coup, get a counter coup for free"

[djjamie]

We witnessed the violence and "North Korea style leadership" before the coup from the likes of Chalerm, Boonsong, yingluck (I do what my brother says not what the majority want) shinawatra and the marry band of anti democrats and that was an dark time in Thai history that required the first coup with majority backing (unless you refer to elections pre rice scheme and 4 years ago to gauge the PTP popularity now!)

Now imagine the radical 7% minority vocal terrorists that pushed the envelope for 7 months allowing the first coup to go off without any violence or a single bullet fired. Imagine if they staged a counter coup. A 7% minority trying to take over the country. When there is majority backing it is always peaceful. When it is only a 7% minority that have no qualms using violence to achieve their objectives then it will get very very messy. As messy as the usual red shirt protests in front of court houses. As violent as the red shirt terrorist uprising in 2010. As bloody as the red shirts reaction to peaceful protestors in Bangkok in 2013/14.

The last thing we need is Jatuporns 7%'ers killing innocents again. The last thing we need is for democracy and reform to be side tracked. That is what scares Jatuporn the accused terrorist. Under a democratic society where the law is upheld he will become obsolete and even worse he will be in jail.

People see the vioelnt tendencies of the red terrorists when a court decision goes against them. That is nothing.

Prayut needs to squash this rumour very quickly. The last thing Thailand needs is 7% minority red shirts let loose again.

"Thai police say they are tracking down whoever is behind a rumor about an impending counter-coup against the military junta that seized power from an elected government one year ago."

Let me guess who was behind an attempted coup against the junta......Does his name start with T? Mr. T?

[tbthailand]

because rumour mongering is such a serious crime...

Like some other posters, I don't give much credibility to the rumours - as pointed out, they have circulated for a year now...

The army is a big organization and it may not be marching in lock-step and it is certain that not all generals are fawning before the 'PM', but it also seems to me that the serious resistance from inside the army was dealt with in 2010.

How about letting us know where you get these percentages from - because some of us are beginning to think 93% of your claims are bullshit, and the other 7% are invented.

So go on, prove us wrong...

Hunting down those who start rumors is a fools errand. Luckily there is no shortage of manpower that fits that job description.

If only 7% back Taksin/reds, why not have an election?

If the coup really had a majority backing, why didn't that majority go to the polls and vote in the first place rather than sabotage the election and make a coup necessary?

Moot point anyway as this article is about rumors of another faction within the military staging a counter-coup... nothing to do with Taksin.

[Squeegee]

I've seen at least three examples today of people asking this djjamie character to back up his propaganda spam, or even answer (twice today) to his claim of 93% 'happiness' yet no election in sight.

It would seem like all other spammers his only interest is to leave a warm, moist, brown present for everyone else to enjoy the stench of. If his content wasn't made of such stuff he'd be man enough to put up or shut up.

[JOC]

[petedk]

Why don't they talk to the prime-minister? He knows who it is.

From another thread :

Prime Minister Prayut Chan-ocha has brushed aside a coup rumour insisting that it was spread by ill-intent elements to cause public confusion.

He said he knew who the rumour monger was and threatened legal actions against him.

[ratcatcher]

Not that i put much faith in the rumours but i doubt it is beyond the realms of possibility that there are arms of the armed forces who are disenfranchised with all that goes on.

Specifically i expect some units are annoyed that the head of the army, important posts etc just seems to pass from one mate to another in the same class like an old boys club.

".........important posts etc just seems to pass from one mate to another in the same class like an old boys club."

Same shit, different old boys club, that's all.

The first coup was for good reason : a bunch of dirty cronies had obeyed their master by passing a law 310:0 giving him amnesty back to 2004 and were going to take the country to civil war rather than give in to mass protests.

A second coup can only be for the benefit of a power-crazy individual. Decent people in Thailand would not stand for that.

Luckily for Thailand these people are prepared to go out (without being paid) and die rather than watch their country get plundered to the extreme by corrupt politicians. And none of them wear red-shirts.

Just like djjamie, your posts are psychedelic ramblings. They're impossible to respond to except to say use the little bit of sense that you were born with and see the true situation. It's blatant. A country has been stolen from under the noses of the electorate and you eejits are endorsing it.

[billphillips]

It must be that pesky 3% acting up again (97% happy with PM).

If their is another ............... I wonder what will happen to the existing participants. 5555

You're always good for a laugh mate. So the elected people who lost their country by way of a coup are now terrorists? I would say that they are people trying to retrieve something that is rightfully theirs.

Here we go. Everyone join in now. But but but Thaksin......

[Fat Haggis]

Rumours of counter coups, are deflection tactics, and I wouldn't be surprised that it's an orchestrated release, it was the DPM several weeks ago who mentioned it.

If Prayuth knows who it is, why are they not already in custody?

djjamie is the head spin doctor of the PM's propaganda department. He is so much into the PM that every time he sticks his head out to breath, he appears covered with 93% sh@t and 7% fluff. He doesn't count the 7% because he knows it is just hot air.

djjamie is just the product of the director generals buffalo breeding program aimed at spreading vast amounts of bullshit around the country.

[arrowsdawdle]

Let's hope it just a rumor, because if a counter coup is really in the works, it will get very ugly here.

It is not a counter-coup if the people take back their country from a coupspiracy, it is a revolution and legality does not apply because the courts and government have been hijacked illegally, regardless of any document called a coupstitution being rammed down the throats of citizen subjects.

The present PM must be doing things right to get rid of the corruption.

If there are rumours of a counter coup, there must be quite a few people

who are running scared today. It is likely that the old guard that was being supported

by the past PM and brother is not happy at all, hence the rumour. I wonder how many more of them

have to get cleaned up or cleaned out before the past corrupt practices disappear?

Hundreds, or Thousands! It is most interesting!

Very Chalerm like " I know who's involved but I'm not saying just now " which usually decodes as 'don't have a clue '.

With all his care and concern for the security and well being of the country it's hard to believe if he really knew no action would have been taken. After all he's got more than enough power and 'lack of evidence'would have nothing to do with it.

Your skills in story telling are amazing,,,,,,,, Don't worry LIL FELLA the sky's not falling,

"A second coup can only be for the benefit of a power-crazy individual. Decent people in Thailand would not stand for that."

So if a person that stages a coup is ok n all good if they of your political persuasion er? and any and all others are "power-crazy individuals"??? and any whom may oppose it are not "decent people in Thailand"???

Question for ya mate? How many coup's has Thailand had in last 80 or so years??? I'll give ya a hint,, around 18 or so, ok Popit.

If the rumor mongers actually do exist, and the PM claims he knows who they are, and the RTP are hunting them down............................then I would say they are pretty safe.
