elgordo38 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Still, junta supporting westerners still astound me. Westerners who 'support' any side astound me - there are no 'good guys' in Asian politics, only competing elite patronage networks. If TV readers do not get what your talking about maybe we should start re-education camps. You can lay this as a template over the rest of the world and it fits. One size fits all. The GOP candidates are a perfect example. Its just more blatant in the west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckyman Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) I truly am lost words, as to where the assumption comes from that this park was built for the purpose of entertaining or educating the people. I mean to say, clearly this was a business project with huge donations from the biggest companies this country has, to give these companies a chance to pledge their allegiance to the Army, was it not ?

augustwest Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Maybe someone could arrange corruption trips,visit all the places around Thailand,that are know for corruption, the Park,Rice godowns,fields full of rotting Fire-engines the Water treatment plant,on and on. regards Worgeordie Don't forget the Air Craft Carrier, that has no planes or the 3 submarines 55555 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxe1200 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I thought Suthep went to Bangkok to fight against corruption and so did many of the Democrats party. They seem to be all very quiet now. They rather wait, until they get their hands in the sugar jar, instead of ending up in jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juehoe Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Who would visit a cement park?The park is important for Thai people. It was sad to see today, how many people «stranded» at the entry of the park and had to take the picture from outside, far away from the statues of the kings.I assume that there will be some angry Facebook posts from Thais why the chunta has closed the park on a holiday and without (clear) notice in advance.

TKDfella Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 Not sure I understand why 'they' shut the park. What did they think the 'activists' were going to do...pull the structures down?

smedly Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 closing the park was wrong stopping these thugs from getting there was right the investigation into the alleged corruption has not concluded so there is little to protest about at this point, if it turns out there is corruption involved then those responsible should be exposed arrested and prosecuted there are still divisive elements lurking ready to cause trouble in Thailand and we all know how that can end up so the tight rules on protests are understandable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same game the Chinese are playing in Ecuador and 60 billion in Africa. Bad deals all around. As W.C. Fields said they is one born every day. With the passage of time since that statement I am sure the numbers have increased. I am sure the cookie jar is empty. That is why money is only spent under extreme conditions here.

tuanku Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 I wonder if corruption in a park that is dedicated to the Thai royalty can be considered lese majeste. As his Majesty is the Commander in Chief of the armed forces, any law breaking by the armed forces under his command, including corruption, must be considered lese majeste.

What about the 3 lists of names drawn up over a year ago? Poof where did they go?. That is unsolved old corruption lets tackle that first. They had hoped this new corruption would fade away like so much other corruption but it has not and now it must be addressed as well. Give it a queue number behind the rest. Maybe they should have piles of corruption under the headings of urgent, serious, extremely serious and down right maddening. Yes there could be divisive elements lurking ready to make trouble but everyone these students included are not the bogey men they are peaceful protesters. Waving a red flag and calling it divisive elements is just a diversion tactic and nothing else. Unlike San Bernadino I do not hear daily gunfire on the streets.

They didn't look like "thugs" to me! No, thugs are those who question the junta in the perfect world of smedly. Is the Army investigating itself, and is that proper ? Is intimidating one of the protester's mother proper behavior for the military ? The divisive elements that you say are lurking are in the open. It is your beloved junta that lurks and bullies.

lavender19 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 The students apparently have no intrest in anything other than being a pain in the arse to anyone of authority, they probably display the same attitude in the daycare they attend on a non regular schedule. At least the grounds should stay as clean as they are presently, by keeping those who seem most interested in being diruptive in their free time. I never noted any group cleaning up after themselves after they finish their quest for whatever they are trying to accomplish. I might have let them go in but charge each '' farang price for entry to national parks '' just for being a pest on/ during renovation time If the above flapdoodle is really the best the junta defenders can come up with, I would call that 1-0 to the other team.

That's why the JuntaJanes keep trying to obfuscate and derail with their Thaksin Mantra: it's the irrelevant bleating of pigs before the butcher blade of modernity. Rather interesting how in this internet age the traditional Thai junta nemesis, namely students, can say "Jump!" and those steeped in paranoia respond with "How high?" The students barely did a thing to achieve this! Another public own goal for the integrity of a squirming regime. Removing the students' carriage from the train to prevent them from travelling is an absurdly stupid thing to have done, for everyone to see. The timing of closing the park is the junta hoisted on their own petard. Edited December 7, 2015 by Squeegee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champneys Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 "Maintenance" on a park that has only been opened for a month? Just how frigging stupid do the Junta think people are? The junta actually know how stupid the people are and use the stupidity against them. Hopefully one day the people will be able to open their eyes from the propaganda campaign. But not in my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
