Popular Post robblok Posted October 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2020 Sickening and ridiculous, its a loan written down as a loan. How else can you start a new party. I understand that they don't want single people to control a party. But this is just a farce to keep him away.

You should know that if you want to go against the flow that you should be as clean as possible as everything you say and do will be used against you. It is not fair but he should have been better prepared before attacking the ruling power. Look at Singapore, they are the masters in silencing the opposition legally but nobody over there and the rest of the world seems to notice it.

The excuse for ignoring their transactions? The loans were "small" (obviously excused for self preservation). It didn't matter how careful the FFP were. The establishment were always going to find something. There is no winning when the powers that be rule by law. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post connda Posted October 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2020 The brainiacs in BKK can't draw the parallel between suppressing an opposition of the youth and disfranchised of Thailand of which this guy is the figurehead and leader, and the flood of people on the streets calling for drastic and immediate reform of the a system that came to power at the end of a gun and which retains power through unelected appointments and commissions whose purpose are the maintain the status quo by any means necessary. Forecast? Double-down. The top knows they can always send guns to the streets to take care of the commoner riff-raff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just another nail in the coffin. Hopefully, it will encourage the older folks to shake off their inertia, and get involved, finally. The army must go.

Popular Post Flying Saucage Posted October 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2020 Maybe the powers that be want an escalation, in order to achieve that some of the peaceful protesters lose their patience and become violent. Guys in yellow shirts will reply with more violence and escalate the situation furthermore, and then this all will be used as an excuse for a though crackdown. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mr Meeseeks Posted October 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2020 3 hours ago, SomchaiCNX said: Yes but Mr Taksin was Clean, right? He just forgot about 600 million and he had the luck he could appoint the last judge just before they reached a verdict ???? He is the root course of all this political instability for the lats 20 + years. Wrong. The root cause is as I described earlier, that the elite are simply not interested in reconciliation, reform or the wants and needs of the Thai people. They never have been. Thaksin was the catalyst for change because he was the first to recognise the importance of populist policy in winning over the electorate. Thus the poorest in the country were actually receiving something from the government for a change. Of course the whole campaign against Thaksin started not because there was any conclusive evidence against him, but rather because Sondhi was irked that the CEO of KTB had been removed from his post, due to non-performing loans to his mates and having been instrumental in forgiving Sondhi's personal and business debt of over a billion Baht. The politicisation of the Deleted and the misinformation campaign came soon after, culminating in a border conflict with Cambodia where people were killed and a takeover of the country's international airports that cost Thailand billions. Now Sondhi is saying much the same things, but he's regarded as a conspiracy theorist and a bit of a sad joke. He's also a convicted criminal. You keep on going though, it might dawn on you eventually. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Flying Saucage Posted October 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2020 (edited) Currently the country is in a deadlock with the daily demonstrations and the stubbern government not moving anywhere. And - most importantly - this government will do everything to protect the political systems as it is. The generals MUST do this in their very personal interest, to protect their wealth and safety. Think about this: Any compromise which brings the country closer to democracy and a rule of law is a big no-no for them, given how criminal and corrupt they are. It simply is much too dangerous for them to risk that one day a fair court in a Thai democracy prosecutes them for all their crimes. Therefore, to avoid any reform towards democracy and rule of law and to get rid of the deadlock, they need an escalation now. They need a decisive battle. That might be a reason why they want an escalation now by prosecuting Thanathorn, to ingnite violence and real riots, and to have an excuse for a tough crackdown then. Yellow thugs will be ordered to support this well engineered agenda of escalation. As I pointed out before already, after such a provoced crackdown, I predict that the army will give the power to some civil friends (I guess Anutin will appointed as the next PM), in order to appease the people and the international community, and to create a "government of national unity", whose duty only will be to protect the system for another decade, till the circle will start again.
