In what is becoming a joke of an emergency management body, the Center of Administration for Peace and Order (CAPO) has clearly become an attack tool of a Government that has lost it’s legitimacy to govern Thailand. The list of eye rolling announcements from CAPO has removed nearly all the respect it had when it was first formed. Coupled with ego driven temper tantrums from CAPO upper management, it clearly calls for a bag of popcorn to watch the antics unfold. Continue reading Post ID 14988

Red Shirts attack on Monk despicable

Thailand’s evolved Red Shirts Part 5
Once the Government’s rice pledging scheme started to fall apart, the Red Shirts showed yet another side of themselves. That new side was to attack rice farmers that were once Red Shirt and Government supporters that had switched sides and became untrusting and anti Government. The reason for the switch was because they were not paid by the Government and now were flat broke and destitute.

Thaksin’s self serving arrogance in full display
Typically people will respond to more subtle signs that they have crossed the line, but that is not the case with Thaksin.
