The distorted rhetoric coming from Thaksin’s Red Shirts is becoming troublesome as there is a consistent push towards civil war. All the pieces of play are coming into place including threats from the Pheu Thai Party (PTP) that there will be unrest if the wheels of justice are allowed to turn. Collectively this all fits the thinking of a man obsessed and who will stop at nothing to meet his goals. Continue reading Post ID 14922

Thaksin bleeding Red Shirt support
When the Red Shirt leaders called a Red Shirt rally in the past, pulling together numbers was not an issue. They flocked by the thousands to the rally site and did not show any wavering in support of Thaksin. But now it seems those days are gone and by Thaksin’s own hand. Continue reading Post ID 14922

Signs of Thaksin’s anger
For some the thought of Thaksin Shinawatra smashing his way through a room filled from floor to ceiling with breakable objects brings a smile to their face. For others knowing the depths he will go to get things his way give grave concern knowing bullets will be flying at named targets.

Thailand blanket Amnesty bill not dead
When dealing with Thaksin Shinawatra, one of the first things people learn is never to trust what he says. Often what he says is complete opposite of what he wants and means. So after the bait and switch tactic by the Phu Thai Party (PTP) that put the pro Thaksin blanket amnesty bill in the works to begin with so it could be rammed through, hearing them say they will not resurrect it falls back on the same rule of thumb not to trust what Thaksin says.

Angry Thaksin seeks Democrats
It has been a bad few days for Thaksin Shinawatra no doubt. After grossly misreading the Thai people who unlike him still feel the law is something to be obeyed and punishment needs to be properly handed out, Thaksin experienced a reality check that he does not like. Even trying a bait and switch tactic with an amnesty bill was shot down wholesale by the Thai Senate. So there is little doubt the Thaksin favoring Department of Special Investigation(DSI) is looking to target the leaders of the rally that united the Thai people overnight against the amnesty bill.

Thai Government endorsing lawlessness
To say the classic bait and switch tactic was not expected with the amnesty Bill would be an out and out lie. It is a signature move of Thaksin Shinawatra, and anyone that is familiar with his tactics simply knew it was coming. After all, Thaksin would never endorse anything that did not benefit him in one way or another. Continue reading Post ID 14922

Thailand’s Red Shirts bullying behavior
Sometimes you can’t help but roll your eyes when The pro-Thaksin Red Shirts don’t get their way.
