Pattaya Incidence: "Blue Shirts" Must be Responsible for their Violent Attacks on Reds
Posted by Ginola , Reader : 723 , 18:26:36

I have found the vdo evidence that suggests that Mr.Newin (and perhaps Deputy PM Suthep too) was behind the "blue shirts" attacks on the red shirts in Pattaya. Here is the story:The red shirts went to Pattaya peacefully to submit a letter to ASEAN that Abhisit's goverment is not democratically elected. That event went well.However, when the red shirts retreated, they were attacked by the bl....

Abhisit's Good Move

Finally, a move that I and many others have been waiting for...PM Abhisit made two very important announcements that will be the basis for national reconcialition.1. Constitutional amendment. All political parties are to submit amendment proposals by two weeks.2. Amnesty for political crime is a possibility. This means that the 220 ex-TRT, PPP, Chart Thai and so on executives who have been banned fro....

During the tense confrontation between the red shirt protesters, who took control of a gas truck, and the military at Din Daeng flat, an unlikely hero emerged. His appearance significantly lowered the tension and even the red shirt protesters laughed. In the end, the officials succeeded in retrieving the gas truck, thanks to Batman! :DSee for yourself: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEZA_gRkRw0....

My Take on Thai Politics in the Aftermath of the Black Songkran
Posted by Ginola , Reader : 619 , 08:33:38  
Print


The Abhisit government, with the help of the army operating under the State of Emergency law, has successfully restored order to Bangkok after the protesters have dispersed. The government has won the media battle and recevied a lot of praises from most of the Thai media and anti-Thaksin groups.Yet, if we look deeply enough, this conflict is far from over. In fact, because of the crackdown on protest....

Finally, a Quality Analytical Piece of Journalism on Thai Politics
Posted by Ginola , Reader : 694 , 00:38:23

After being tortured by the quality of Thai media in reporting political events in recent years, I am glad that the BBC's Jonathan Head has produced what I deem a rather fair and reasonable assessment of Thai politics. This kind of high-quality analytical work has been lacking in the Thai media for so long.One important thing that sets this piece apart from other opinion pieces usually found in the T....

In Need of Extraordinary Courage and Leadership
Posted by Ginola , Reader : 738 , 05:52:24

Let me first start by condenming the action of the red-shirt protesters who broke into the ASEAN Summit venue and who attacked PM and senior government officials' cars. These actions are violent, illegal and unacceptable. Better democracy cannot be achieved through violent and illegitimate means like this.It should become obvious by now that Thaksin is willing to do anything and pay any price that wi....
