An ugly clampdown on Rajabhakti protests: Thai editorial

[Thai at Heart]

Firstly , lets take the main theme and premise to conclusion you try making.

That "" we lack insight , and in any case can't influence things , so therefore we are irrelevant .

Not so.

I have sent 400 plus articles directly to journalists in. 22 countries but mainly the US , UK , and Australia on issues as such.

Along with opinion here that pasted on social media and twitter.

The story of arrest for like is now being seen on Facebook news feed.

My home nation is altered by me and hundreds of others.

Public opinion stated not just by Envoy's but social media can and does create awareness.

How does that influence things?

Well say ISIS who think selling woman or raping them is ok .

The general western feeling is it isn't.

Eventually we are in conflict with all their crimes.

Thailand may feel locking up people and ruling by gun is ok in some quarters .

And your entitled to your opinion based on your beliefs and insights.

But like a rapist who may hold justifications for his actions .

The general consensus is regardless its wrong.

If you wish to sign agreements on international norms and appear at the UN.

Even trade ..you are answerable regardless of how you feel about it being an internal matter.

The elites wish to pretend its a misunderstanding on our behalf.

Just as ISIS will point to the Koran and twist it to justify its criminal behaviour.

If the envoy's express their nations viewpoint it is with clarity and careful consideration to human rights.

If you feel at 70 your prepared to trade human rights abuses for personal comforts that's selfish.

But in a bigger sense it impacts on your collective position.

Laws that are wrong should and will be called out.

Humans in this century demand standards.

If you wish to do commence with us .

Have us as tourists and avoid conflict with the west.

You need to understand you can't have your cake and eat it.

Silencing your populace by fear and or gun is in the international community minds a matter for them to decide what punishments you will be given.

And make no mistake there will be.

And the changes you say can't be made will be.

Opinions do change things.

When they are free to be voiced.

They have just locked a few guys up for burning down a town hall in Udon. I was privelidge to know when this was all going to happen and several up country town halls got burnt. I know for a fact that the army was fuelled and ready to move in Isaan and enter every major town in the north east to stop this arson. they didn't because they couldnt be sure that the majority of the population wouldnt fight them.

This is the very delicate balance people........as far away from reality as it seems today, the army hasn't marched yet in the north east and the north. and people talk about calm???

[Thai at Heart]

So after 19 coups not one administration changed the status quo according to you all who are indeed liberal with your advice concerning the current administration.

So are you really walking a neutral path politically and socially regarding your comments on this current administration. What are your sage remarks concerning all of the past administrations and their impact upon democracy?

Well shunter, after all your self proclaimed "years" in the English part of the UK (must have been very limiting if you did not visit any of the rest) even you should be able to recognise the expression "flogging a dead horse" and save the TV aministrators a lot of bother - just stop rabbiting on your interminable bs. It is clear that your English language comprehension is just "not up to scratch" if you keep posting stupid questions as per above. You probably arn't capable of recognising it, but answering these questions is exactly what a lot of other honest posters have done. They just did not answer by indefensible uncritical support of a gang of rich crooks who have overthown the peoples rights, grabbed power and intoduced unfettered repression in a naked attempt to avoid prosecution for their past heinous crimes.

What s your problem? Do you think Thai politics improved over the last 40 years

booring, not even worth a capital B.

Why aren't you locked up for colluding to burn down town halls, since you profess to know all about it?

Tells us that you are just another troll.

What real chance has democracy had to develop and grow with the Thai army intervening all the time, democracy needs to be left to grow and mature over time, live and learn that's the general idea.

The only ever present in all of this is constant military intervention..... That's what is boring about this. Believing that finally this time, their intervention will be for the last time.

Yawn

See you in coup style Thailand within a decade.

They have just (my italics) locked a few guys up for burning down a town hall in Udon and several up country town halls got burnt and you knew all this was going to happen?

So ......

1. Please (oh pretty please) please give us a link to even one news item that covered these momentous events.

2. Please explain why we are not reading about your arrest for sedition, sabotage, aiding and abetting arson and god knows what else.

Either you are dreaming, drunk, spaced-out, insane or simply yet another Walter, how can anybody take anything you say seriously?

But perhaps (if we are lucky) you will join the list of fortune tellers that don't survive in army custody for very long.

NB if you ever get back to reality, check out the number of military establishments in Issan, never heard of any of them suffering from fuel shortages, they are hopefully always ready to move, that's what armies should always be ready for. By the way, when was it they marched in the north west, south, mid levels, etc? Might have been worth a paragraph or two in the news.

Barmy as a coot.

Huh?

The army was tipped off that that was what was going to happen. I was told by a friend in the army to stay well away from the town hall and provincial administration areas of town.

They were prepared and ready to intervene, but we're told to back off for fear that it would get very much out of hand, very quickly.

They don't just randomly have full tanks sitting out in the sun all day. They were ready to go into all these provincial towns where the arson was ongoing and "quell" the problem. It would have been carnage. The order didn't come.

I was viewing the protests and reporting on them to my company and others. If the army had come out then, it would have been a very big mess.

You keep avoiding the essence, where are the links to these non-existent recent arsonings?

When did the army march and where?

Last time I heard the Thai army marched anywhere serious it was up Phu Hin Rong Kla - and they did a pretty good job there.

A small number were forced to turn out by certain crooked politicians in 2010 but made a right <deleted> of that. Huge dissention within the ranks.

If you have enough savvy to make these stupid posts, for god sake get your tenses right, they are basic English, past, present and future................got it ?

NB I was told by my friend in the army that if you arse about posting lies and trying to stir up trouble, you will certainly find some.

What are you going on about? You did notice the town halls getting burnt down in various cities in Issan at the height of the problems? You did notice that whilst the army was cracking down in Bangkok these arson attacks weren't stopped and the army didn't intervene despite having bases in all the major towns.

You did notice the sentences being handed down this week.

There is relative silence today, but it is false. The issues are still there.. Nothing has been really put to bed despite all the apparent attempts at reconciliation.

This is the very delicate balance people........as far away from reality as it seems today, the army hasn't marched yet in the north east and the north. and people talk about calm???

They have just (my italics) locked a few guys up for burning down a town hall in Udon and several up country town halls got burnt and you knew all this was going to happen?

So ......

1. Please (oh pretty please) please give us a link to even one news item that covered these momentous events.

2. Please explain why we are not reading about your arrest for sedition, sabotage, aiding and abetting arson and god knows what else.

Either you are dreaming, drunk, spaced-out, insane or simply yet another Walter, how can anybody take anything you say seriously?

But perhaps (if we are lucky) you will join the list of fortune tellers that don't survive in army custody for very long.

NB if you ever get back to reality, check out the number of military establishments in Issan, never heard of any of them suffering from fuel shortages, they are hopefully always ready to move, that's what armies should always be ready for. By the way, when was it they marched in the north west, south, mid levels, etc? Might have been worth a paragraph or two in the news.

Barmy as a coot.

Huh?

The army was tipped off that that was what was going to happen. I was told by a friend in the army to stay well away from the town hall and provincial administration areas of town.

They were prepared and ready to intervene, but we're told to back off for fear that it would get very much out of hand, very quickly.

They don't just randomly have full tanks sitting out in the sun all day. They were ready to go into all these provincial towns where the arson was ongoing and "quell" the problem. It would have been carnage. The order didn't come.

I was viewing the protests and reporting on them to my company and others. If the army had come out then, it would have been a very big mess.

You keep avoiding the essence, where are the links to these non-existent recent arsonings?

When did the army march and where?

Last time I heard the Thai army marched anywhere serious it was up Phu Hin Rong Kla - and they did a pretty good job there.

A small number were forced to turn out by certain crooked politicians in 2010 but made a right <deleted> of that. Huge dissention within the ranks.

If you have enough savvy to make these stupid posts, for god sake get your tenses right, they are basic English, past, present and future................got it ?

NB I was told by my friend in the army that if you arse about posting lies and trying to stir up trouble, you will certainly find some.

What are you going on about? You did notice the town halls getting burnt down in various cities in Issan at the height of the problems? You did notice that whilst the army was cracking down in Bangkok these arson attacks weren't stopped and the army didn't intervene despite having bases in all the major towns.

You did notice the sentences being handed down this week.

There is relative silence today, but it is false. The issues are still there.. Nothing has been really put to bed despite all the apparent attempts at reconciliation.

No I did not notice anything more than one of any note. Stop shilly-shallying post links. What I know is that there was a lot of dissention in the army about being forced to shoot at civilians only a few of whom had real weapons, so I dont think many of them would have been up to invading Issan, even with the armies policies of posting mainly Muslim troops from the south into the mainly Buddhist north and east.
Check out the Bloody Sunday inquiries and you will see why the criminals had to conspire to take over the country to avoid prosecution for murder.
NB look up the word "reconciliation" in a good dictionary and you won't find anything that this Jaunta has done that matches the meaning of the word.
NBB check out how many "cities" there are in Issan while you are on Wikki.
Finally please try to get a sense of cronology into your posts.
