REVOLUTION THAILAND
The Redshirt leadership are about to set a date for withdrawal at Ratchaprasong and from their rallies elsewhere in Bangkok but a final decision is expected sometime very soon and authorized to be made public.
On Saturday morning, two policemen were killed with many others wounded in more M-79 grenade attacks and shootings in the business district of Bangkok. Blame is being apportioned to the militant wing of the Redshirts, who want total victory, now. Not all sections of the redshirts are happy with the compromise, particularly after losing so many comrades, to the Governments attack on April the 10th, in which which 26 people are believed to have lost their lives, including many Government soldiers. This is one of the primary factors that has delayed a date to end the rallies, so far.
A general election will be held on Nov 14. with a House dissolution in September. That is the compromise on the table in Thailand's political crisis, most parties favour it but there is a considerable section of the Redshirts reluctant to accept. The Royalists want martial law and the Redshirts suppressed ruthlessly, immediately.
One spokesperson has said there may be a hidden agenda within the compromise proposal and further attempts at dispersing the protesters, along with further intimidation by the corporate media mafia. The Royalist PAD are also suspected of being possibly behind the recent attack on the police to provoke a crackdown on the Redhirts. Like the conflict in occupied Ireland the politics are both complex and ugly with many provocateurs, sub-plots and departmental agendas. There are several players in the equation besides the Redshirts and the royalists.
Elite corporate interests, army, police factions, securocrats and feudal warlords are just some.Sondhi Limthongkul the leader of the royalist yellow-shirt PAD and New Politics Party is extremely unhappy with the compromise reached. The reason they are against an early house dissolution and an election in November, is that there is no way they can win, its too soon. If the Prime Minister finished his term, which ends in January 2012, the two years would give the yellows time to organize properly. They might then have a possible chance but six months is too soon.
If the Democrats win, it is a four year wait for the corporate/royalist party. The Prime minister and the new party, share primarily the same middle class base, so if the Prime minister triumphs in November, they will have effectively pushed the new royalist/corporate party into obscurity. If on the other hand the Redshirts win, the new party will be obliterated to oblivion. The corporate mafia media's role is critical in all of this.
The new party demands the prime minister resign for his failure to annihilate the Redshirts. Maj Gen Chamlong has recommended military commanders declare martial law, without seeking permission from the government. Fighting talk and highly reactionary words, hence a suspicion for possible responsibility for the attacks on the police Saturday morning. However to directly connect the attack without proof would be irresponsible. However even if the Government and Redshirts are able to compromise and the Redshirts vacate Bangkok along with parliamentary dissolution and the election, it does not automatically mean there will be peace. What it could mean, is that there will be reactionary elements and new havoc created, similar to formerly Franco Spain.
At the end of the day, this is all about strategy, in a deadly power game. There may be a compromise called but a the peace road map, cuts through a jungle of lions, tigers, bears and hunters in black. For now it is colour coded Reds, Yellows, Multi-colours along with the greens of the army with a new chief in September.Then there is Newin Chidchob's blues who have been quiet and yet to make their play. This mix is what Hillary Clinton referred to as "Thai spicy politics" on her most visit last year.
Thailand abolished slavery less that a century ago, fifty years after the British realized it was more expensive to support a slave rather than an employee and abolished it 50 years previously. Society in Thailand today is still feudal in many respects, hence the importance of Buddhism and the Monarchy for its traditional form of stability. Further discussion of this matter is not permitted under penalty of lengthy prison sentence and of course with rampant censorship along with the British corporate media mafia in occupied Ireland and the UK, it is not possible to report the matter objectively presently there either.
The attack on Saturday involved assassins on a motorcycle opening fire on a group of policemen guarding a bank. They hit three policemen and two civilians. One of the police died later at a hospital. In the other attack killing another policeman, spokesperson Pol Lt Gen Pongsatat Pongcharoen said police believe the grenades were again M79. He said the two attacks were by the same group.
Handling buttless homemade copies of M79 grenade launchers on motorbikes, with only one hand, demonstrating quite a degree of versatility and cool 3 warheads being launched from motorbikes, is reminiscent once again, of the latter stages of the present troubles, on the border in occupied Ireland. There have also been plenty of heavy weapons seized from army depots in the troubled south of Thailand, with cross border smuggling and captures made in confrontation with fighters trained by Al Qaeda.
"Things may get more tense in the coming days," a source has confided.

FRIENDLY SHOOT TO KILL THAILAND ORDERED BY RIFLE OF ETON
The Thai army yesterday shot one of its own on the streets of Bangkok. They have been ordered by the British born, Eton educated, unelected Prime Minister Abhisit, to shoot to kill unarmed civilians protesting in Thailand. The following is a link to a discussion in the pro-government media in Thailand, about what is happening in the background currently, between Eton Abhisit and the Army Chief of Staff General Anupong. All of the independent media sites numbering several thousand have been shut down with many sent to prison with long jail sentences. So remember its a pro-government and try to read between the lines.
To carry out such a policy of heartless murder on civilians, Eton teaches a culture of supremacy, of seeing poor and native people as sub-human and then demonizing them with their media mafia, before the many slaughters and massacres ordered by the Eton Rifles. It is heartless and merciless.
LINK FROM THE BARRACKS
Remember Sharpeville
bullet-in-the-back day
Because it epitomized oppression
and the nature of society
more clearly than anything else;
it was the classic event
Nowhere is racial dominance
more clearly defined
nowhere the will to oppress
more clearly demonstrated
what the world whispers
apartheid with snarling guns
the blood lust after
South Africa spills in the dust
Remember Sharpeville
Remember bullet-in-the-back day
And remember the unquenchable will for freedom
Remember the dead
and be glad.
- Dennis Brutus
From Ireland their first colony to India to Pakistan, to the Middle-East, to the war ravaged continent of Africa, the Eton legacy continues with centuries of a policy to foster division and then conquer the people of no property, the peasants. Whether to antagonize racial or religious division for conquest, the Rifles of Eton educated on this supremacist basis, the British imperialists still cause mayhem on a daily basis while their educated and their heirs the Americans, carry on the tradition of the Butchers Apron, under a flag of the same colour and design. Now we have another Eton educated and British Abhisit, directing another Bloody Sunday and the creation of another civil war in Thailand.

CORRUPT BRITISH OCCUPIED NORTHERN IRELAND ELECTION
Word on the street is that a secret deal has been done between the Unionist and the SDLP who's candidate is simply a spoiler against Sinn Fein in Fermanagh/South Tyrone in return for sweet deals and media contracts awarded by the local council to SDLP businessmen.
If true I can see both Unionist and SDLP candidate up on fraud charges. I am surprised the local media haven't followed up on it but perhaps they are untouchables too. It will interesting to see if the God fearing Unionist people will vote for this fraudulent SDLP/Unionist alliance.
What is it about Ireland, that so many crooks and gombeens are elected by the people. and its not just a Catholic mafia thing in Fermanagh /South Tyrone. Have the Conservative party organized this fraud ??
Is it surprising that revolution is still the choice of THINKING traditional republicans, with so much corrupt gombeen politicians chasing the Queen's shilling ???
This is an utter disgrace and the media silence is deafening in Ireland.
