I agree with OnlyThaksinCanSaveThailandNOw. For me, I am not certain whether Thaksin corrupted or not. But the PAD has gone too much. Since the PAD started, I have not seen any improvement of the country in any way. Besides the economics go down.

In fact, most of the protesters in Bangkok are people from other provinces. They are either unemployed or employed with low salaries. They are hired by the PAD to join the mobs. Before the payments, the head of PAD keep the newcomers’ ID cards. The PAD recruits people at schools, Univ, and organizations. Some succeeds and a lot do not.

Can anyone who follow the head of PAD tell me what has got better? Y’all who wear yellow shirt are just donkey stupidly retarded. You say you love your king and the country. but that’s absolutely full of it.

Peace!

This is an SMS I got in the middle of the night from our reporter at the Airport. I think it says it all.

“the situation is very bad, things change every hour. This has the potential to really go to shit.”

It all started with the military coup in 2006, then the military sided with PAD and the elites who saw Thaksin as a blocking stone to their money-making opportunities. They thought that with Thaksin removed, they could make Thailand their own kingdom. Now they knew the coup did not help at all. The military knew it was a mistake but just continued to let this mistake become bigger. I believe if Thaksin is allowed back to govern, he can solve Thailand’s present problem. There will be bloodshed, but it is inevitable. Unless Thailand wants these lawless, military-backed terrorist-like PAD protesters to call the shots whenever they do not like a particular government, it is now time for the King and the ordinary people of Thailand to step in and assist Thaksin to come in and help resolve this growing issue.
May God bless the King and the people of Thailand.
