Probably a bag of feces with a little gift card from Arisman.

Channel 3 News is reporting that the mysterious bag earlier reported to be found at the 11th Infantry Regiment was merely a rumor. Although authorities have increased security at the National Peacekeeping Command headquarters, nothing out of the ordinary has occured.

Yeah, I expect a lot more rumours.

As for fiasco, are you referring to the planning or lack of, by the Reds?

Or, the potential for unrest?

Or, perhaps, both.

Certainly looks weak at the moment but don't draw your conclusions yet.
A couple of months back I met one of the retired generals who is a Redshirt supporter.
He was convinced that they could win.

They have not revealed their tactics yet.

Better hurry, time is of the essence.....thus far it is all a bit crap...

Security is really getting tight now. I put a rolled up sock in my underwear and went to a go go last week. I was arrested for having a suspicious package in a public place.

Explosions 'related to UDD disunity'

Red-shirt female protesters will be sent to check whether soldiers overseeing the anti-government rally in Bangkok are armed, United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) co-leader Weng Tojirakarn announced at the main protest venue near Phan Fa bridge on Monday morning.

"About 1,000 women red-shirts will be sent to check the military tents around the rally site.

"If the soldiers stop them from checking their tents the red-shirts will conclude that they carry weapons and have an intention to harm people," Mr Weng said.
