Regarding comment 7 by Leah Holt, it is not surprising that Shawn Crispin sounds like he writes for the Nation, because he essentially does.

Soldiers wearing pink ribbons while they shoot thai citizens sends a very clear message to the Thais on where the militaries loyalty lies and the lengths the elitists are preparedn to go to in order to continue ruling the nation.
The heart of this crisis lies in the fact that the pink and yellow wearing loyalists/elites believe that they are of such superior culture and intelligence that under no circumstances can the future of thailand be determined by what they call ‘Lo-So’ Thais. In thailand Lo -So means people of lower social status and power ie: ‘The peasantry’
Its important to remember that the elites have a clear publicly stated agenda of removing the democratic rights of the masses. Creating a government where the bulk of parliamentary seats are ‘appointed’ rather than elected by the people has been a publicly stated core objective of the pad since their arrival on the scene, and the pad more than any other Group exemplify what the reds are fighting against.
Wearing pink when killing protesters sends a clear message to all
thais who are not willing to role over and accept the elitists agenda. . The message reads: ‘We are the elite, we own the military, we play for keeps’

The Announcement of Dang Sayam (Red Siam) No. 4
“Our Path Towards True Democracy”
Dang Sayam has been following the situation during the months of April and May of 2010, which ended in a brutal government suppression on all democracy advocates with the military forces and “the legal system”. We have followed the announcement to end a rally for democracy at Rajprasong on May 19 to save lives. And we have been witnessing the people’ discontent over Thailand’s aristocracy and its ancient regime.
Here are our stance:
1. We commend all individuals who gathered together for democracy, both in Thailand and overseas, in expressing the true courage and progressive political thoughts all along these years of uprising. They are clearly ready to overcome any immediate obstacles in order to achieve true democracy in the near future. We wish to insist that their devotion does not end in vain, but become a major continuation of the next stages.
2. We admire all UDD leaders in doing their very best to save precious lives of the people. Their contribution to our course is duly noted, despite a few differences in ways and means at times.
3. We declare that any attempt of “democratic reform” has now ended. From today, we begin the journey of democratic revolution of Thailand until we achieve one.
This is announced on Wednesday, May 19 of 2010.
This website http://www.voicetv.co.th/ where Khun Pleum has a regular evening program is now blocked. All of you outside Thailand may still be able to access it, but not here.
This shows the fascist and dictatorial military regime with its puppet Abhisit is afraid to face truth. K. Pleum is correct: the nationwide rebellion just started today the 19th of May.
Dear political scientists
A lack of measurement has occurred in the political science. In order to understanding this argument, it is necessary to answer these questions.
1. Data is goods, isn’t it?
2. How does the mechanism of the data market work?
3. Is there the relationship among the stability, the development and the mechanism of the data market?
4. Does the social phenomenon like the recently Thailand crisis involve the mechanism of the data market?
A lack of measurement is the condition that there are some variables and propositions out of the area of measurement. Re-framing is required.
Sincerely,
Re-framer Siripetia
Just a note, the letter is not genuine. The Official letter of Thailand is not like that. I question the source of this letter. Not to mentioned that the copy present here is unsigned.
For the fascist Thai government, its king and the berserk gone queen as well all their lackeys, Thaksin has become their “jew”. He is also responsible for Islands volcano outbreaks and the AirFrance crash Rio-Paris of last year.
Thanks for the reminder of Jatuporn’s democratic record.
If there is real interest in pursuing a democratic political agenda then we will also need to take a long hard critical look at how the Reds have performed. From huge popular support – and a lot of sympathy among Bangkokians during the peaceful phase, through to a complete failure to encourage political debate within the protest site, refusal to condemn violence and embracing the rhetoric of war.
Does anyone believe that this – and the looting now taking place – furthers democracy.
We could have had a process of negotiation on political reform. Even if it were flawed surely it would be better than this. And elections in November.
Now what will we get? Well, we’re starting off with a curfew…….not encouraging
@Jay: Hasn’t the past week already look like a coup? I agreed with you that there are a chance that it will happen sometime soon, but will people take it so easily?
Remember though normally a coup only happen in Bangkok, but this is 22 provinces and I do not think they will have enough militery persons to control in every province. It will be a difficult one.
The things Mr. Ambassador asks us to believe are impossible for anyone of sound mind and any background info to accept. His writing is transparently insincere, utterly without shame. He lies badly and baldly, like the pigs of Animal Farm. It’s laughable, but the text is a jarring echo of Bunjob Jaronchon-wanit who does a perfect caricature of the ugly Thai in this Aljazeera interview. Worthwhile if you have 24min to kill.
Jay is correct: there will likely be a coup tonight; Abhisit has decalred a curfew in Bangkok. If it happens it will be led by the “butcher” in Prem’s line, General Prayot Chanocha…[Anupong was seen as too soft] As I mentioned in an earlier blog: for the time being Reds are out, but it has be army against army first….The Nor Por Chor core leaders knew what was likely to come

This is what happens when a government dissolves the people in order to elect another in its place.
Bangkok: This is a massacre
Jit, you offer your views on Thaksin & the reds, and how lowly they are on your humanity scale.
So how is the Abhisit government doing in any way a correct path for the country to take?
May be you should run for office, you certainly seem sure that you know enough of Thai politics.

Why would they stage a coup when they have all the power they need already? Do they need more enemies?
Generals would need all the support they can get if they want to subdue arson and looting, a coup against Abhisit is not going to help in any way.
