    Thai red-shirt leaders to hold meeting on Jan. 15

    Thai red-shirt leaders to hold meeting on Jan. 15
    Editor: Bi Mingxin

    BANGKOK, Jan. 2 (Xinhua) -- The Thai anti-government group, Red-shirt leaders will hold a meeting on Jan. 15 to discuss strategies for campaigning to topple the Democrat Party-led government, Natthawut Saikua, a red-shirt leader, said Saturday.

    Natthawut said leaders of the red-shirt movement would discuss strategies for holding a mass rally with the goal to bring down the government.
    The meeting would decide the venue and form of the rally.

    Natthawut said the campaigns would be peaceful.

    "It will be the biggest ever rally of the red-shirt people," Natthawut said.

    Since assuming power in December, 2008, the Democrat-led alliance and Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva have been facing frequent rallies by the red-shirt movement.

    You can imagine the meeting....

    "Right, riot, violence, a few deaths, guns, maybe explosives, block some roads, hijack a fuel tanker or bus or 2. Coolio, any other business, no? Job done, who brought the Lao Khao?"

    Are you talking about the PAD? Cause it looks pretty much like what they did. You probably believe the Sondhi incident was a real assasination attempt too, don't you? And -- tear gas cannisters don't blow people's legs off - just for the record. And the car bomb driven by a PAD member seems to disappear..or two reds floating in the reiver with hands tied behind their backs..

    No only the Reds were "violent".. because they ran riot in the streets (violent?) and beat on Abhisit's car.
    My mind is not for rent to any God or Government, There's no hope for your discontent - the changes are permanent!

    isn't that illegal ? to declare officially the topple of a perfectly democratically elected government might be illegal. If they were calling for election, like the PAD did, that would be something else.

    You must be forgetting the small incidents with the burning bus and the gunning down of local residents, and the attacks on the army. Short attention span ? so typically American

    It's a bit silly posting only propaganda against the reds.

    The yellows are just as bad.

    The problem is who controls the press, which is where we get most of our information.


    Both the Peuh Thai party and the Uk conservative party want to " bring down the government" in their respective parties.

    Nothing wrong with that they are both opposition parties. Part of the democratic process.

    Didn't you know that butterhole is in the know about all Thai politics? He can tell you for certain that the yellows were never paid to protest. He has been deep, deep, deep undercover and therefore knows the yellows want to do whats best for the country and would never have any personal gains in mind. He is French and knows everything about everything.

    No, do you recall the Victory Monument siege last year?

    I do.

    I live there. I watched it all.

    All of the above list of things happened. I saw them. The red shirts even attacked and killed 1 person who lived in an apartment block near the Din Daeng junction. Their crime? Wanting the red shirts to fuck off.

    The red shirts burnt buses and at one point hijacked a fuel tanker. They had guns. They used them.

    As someone who had to walk through the red shirts barricades everyday to get home, I had first hand experience of all of this crap and got up close to the types of people involved in these protests. They certainly weren't people I'd like to get friendly with.

    A reminder of events

    Thailand 13 April 2009 Afternoon Roundup (in Photos/Videos) The Red Shirt Report
    "Slavery is the daughter of darkness; an ignorant people is the blind instrument of its own destruction; ambition and intrigue take advantage of the credulity and inexperience of men who have no political, economic or civil knowledge. They mistake pure illusion for reality, license for freedom, treason for patriotism, vengeance for justice."-Simón Bolívar
