2 Responses to “Thai protesters storm the military headquarters asking the military to remove a corrupt prime minister. Maybe, that what will finally happen in the U.S., where people will demonstrate in front of the army bases, asking the military to remove from office an Indonesian-Kenyan thief, who got in the WH by fraud and asserting his identity based on a stolen Social Security number and laughable idiotic forgeries for IDs”

   The situation in Thailand is a very good example of things you have to watch out for in manipulated civil protests. Yes, there is a very large turnout of people in the streets protesting. But who are they and what are they protesting about? It is basically a conflict between populist beliefs and the entrenched elites who have ruled the country for centuries.

   The current protestors support the old status-quo, the rule of the elite. They supported the previous government which was put in place by a military coup which overthrew Taskin, who is the older brother of the current prime minister whose government’s support comes from its populists based policies. The populists comprise a majority of the voters in the country which is why they have won all the national elections for the past several years. While the current government may be crooks to the extent that all politicians are basically crooked they have not mobilized the military and ordered them to shoot defenseless civilians nor sent out military snipers into the high rises to assassinate reporters and others, which is what happened during the post-coup populist protests a few years ago. Although the elitists backed government put down those populist demonstrations with a heavy handed military response, the long term reaction finally forced the elections that threw out the illegal government the military installed, the one the current protestors support.

   There is nothing new going on here, Roman history gives a good example of how street demonstrations are used by different factions for political gain. Western news reports are typically slanted against the current Thai government and their supporters since the western elitists support their kindred spirits the Thai elitists. The Thai elite despise and fear Taskin because he is smarter than they are, and is a much more formidable crook than they are. Which is why they had the military overthrow him when he was on a trip outside the country. The current storm of protests are over a bill the current pro-Taskin government submitted to give amnesty to basically political prisoners which would have probably been stretched to include Taskin. Taskin was tried in absentia for various crimes and has not been allowed to return since the coup that overthrew him. It is probably best that he doesn’t return as he might declare himself a dictator and is capable enough he might even pull it off. But there are others still in jail who certainly weren’t guilty of anything, except for vocalizing their political beliefs to begin with and they should be freed; and those in the former government responsible for the numerous killings and injuries should be brought to justice. None of which will happen if the current protestors and their elitist masters have their way.

   Taskin could be at his trial, but he chose to flee with his billions of dollars to Dubai. He put his young sister in power as a puppet, as a proxy to keep the chair warm for him. He instructed he to push through amnesty, so he can return and that is when people revolted.
