WE URGE SOLDIERS TO CEASE USING WEAPON AND SET INNOCENT PEOPLE FRAMED.

During nighttime, the street is even more bustle as the nightlife begins. Its neighboring districts Patpong and Surawong are notorious with what they have to offer: shopping for fake merchandises, drinking, dancing and even sex—a perfect place to go hang out all night long—in other word, burn your money.

It has never been a place where a broke wandered. Until come the Reds.

Being despised as poor, rural, and uneducated people, the ‘Red-Shirted’ demonstrators seized an intersection neighboring to Silom as their stronghold for a rally against the government whose they accused come to power unlawfully. The mob has been expanded and threatened to spread out through Silom district as they seek equally treatment in political right as a Thai citizen as those who wear suit working in the district.

The demonstration carries out for a month and likely to be beyond even though a threat from the government that poises to exercise forces on a crackdown and even life shot of war weapons if, they say, necessary.

The established mob braced themselves up for the threat with barricade of car tires and sharpened poles covered with plastic netting.

A mob is believed to be well prepared even against soldiers deployed to control the area, ever since the military crack down on April 10, which left 25 people dead and almost 800 injured. Despite a threat, they remain received continuing support from the rural people.

Boasted themselves as more educated and willing-hearted mob, a group of local people of Silom district gathered up in a variety color of shirt, of course, except one, and move their front line to encounter the ‘Reds’.

Bad languages have been exchanged between two sides, including stone throws and melee fight.

23.30 hours of Thursday, April 22, five grenades had been launched from an M79 grenade launcher into a mob of the Silom crowd, leaving one dead and 87 injured.

Police captured five suspects immediately.

As expected, the government accused the ‘Reds’ as wrongdoers.

No one will win the battle, but politics standoff has brought in something the country never heard of—terrorists.

Mr. Somboon said the current Prime Minister, Mr. Abhisit Vejjajiva, will no way help the poor people. He enjoys an unexpected power derived unexpectedly by the help of civil people and the soldiers. Most farmers believe Mr. Abhisit will think of the people who give him the power before anything else.

Unlike ex-PM Thaksin, he always helps the poor, according to Mr. Somboon. If he were returned to power, he will help released all the debts from the poor in six months.

Mr. Somboon gets the ‘Red Shirt’ people ID card on the day. It is guaranteed that he will get the benefits if Mr. Thaksin-tied party becomes a ruling party. He joined a group of villagers afterwards to go perform demonstration in Bangkok.

The love of Mr. Thaksin has been deepened in the heart of the poor villagers. They said he thought of them as no one did before. For many poor people, Mr. Thaksin is Robin Hood — a hero who comes to help relieved them from debts, and gives them opportunities. Some villages even set up donation pools of foods and sustenance stuffs to support villagers to go for demonstration in Bangkok, which Mr. Abhisit administration reiteratedly accused them as hired mobsters.

A loan from non-financial institution is brutally charged 20% in monthly interest. If failed to repay, the interest will be rolled up as capital. It is popular among the poor who cannot afford loan from the financial institutions.

Without the ability to pay debts, most poor villagers lost their lands to these outlaw lenders.

At the government house, a coalition government declares that they are strongly united in grab of power and no force will shake them off.

Backed by the military, the people in charge of exercising the power try to bring a pure demonstration into a mobster against Thailand’s most revered institution—the monarch. Every move is accused set against the monarch, and with this, the government draws huge support from civil people and the military.

There is email forward with million of recipients in the list accusing the ‘Reds’ moving is against the monarch.

With their back against the wall, the Reds declare a caste war between the rulers and the rural poor, and they stay fight despite without a hope of win.

Thailand’s political turmoil is seemed reaching a deadlock as Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej faces confrontations from all the frontlines calling for his resignation as government leader or put dissolution to the House of Representatives.

Street protests led by the People Alliance for Democracy vowed that they will not end campaign unless Mr. Samak withdraws and completely banned from political activities. State-run enterprises’ unions threatened to mount a strike nationwide pressing him to sacrifice the premier position.

But Mr. Samak, who claimed he entered politics ever since many protest leaders were still young and even the opposition party leader still in his teenager, is a naturally stubborn veteran politician who is expected to fight until his very last stand, which brought him more criticisms from the media.

In his battle to remain in power, Mr. Samak has used all the methods he can think of, even begging and force, to ward off the ongoing protests.

The enemies at the gate are also imminent, utilizing the most powerful weapon of all time: propaganda to instigate the public fury and join them in the mood. Illegal activities committed by anti-government protesters and leaders are being protected by courts under the current charter.

For the last blow, the Election Committees unanimously voted that the ruling People Power Party be dissolved for committing election fraud.

Although the latest opposition attempt is to put end on crisis, as well as put grim to the People Power Party, it is definitely upon Mr. Samak to make decision on the country’s future, which he is expected to save his face and step down with grace instead of give up.

On another side of the coin, maybe it is time that Mr. Samak learns the new political approaches and ditches the old style the other former leaders used to such as issuing law and such to suppress the mob, which cannot be apply to the current situation.

It is also upon Mr. Samak, a conservative politician, to open up his mind and listen to complains from all sides, which are formerly ignored by the previous governments.

It’s the 21st century and the mass media crept into every territory. Censoring is no longer applicable.

Maybe it’s time to change.

Mr. Somchai almost ignored it, but the title caught his interest. He spent quite a minute weighting whether he would believe it.

The mail was written by someone who tries to convince people to believe that Mr. Samak administration is going to revise the constitution in favor of Mr. Thaksin.

Mr. Thaksin is forced in a defense position with graft charge. He has been accused of abused of power during his tenure as the prime minister.

The content message encourages as many Thai people who love democracy and the monarch to go join the PAD rally and stop the revision of the constitution.

Mr. Somchai was confused. As an office worker, he heard co-workers chat everyday about Mr. Thaksin corruption. They said albeit the economy will be recovered with Mr. Thaksin return, the country will go from bad to worst with even more corruptions, because people are brainwashed to abandon the good social morale and shift focus to materially selfishness.

The email is quite right. Mr. Thaksin has been accused of taxes avoiding. The case will be a life-long story. Weighting the situation, he decided to go stalking at the PAD rally.

With his peer and age, Mr. Somchai managed to get himself closed to one of the PAD influential speakers.

He told him that the PAD allies have a thousand boxes of evident document to explain what Mr. Thaksin had done the bad things during his tenure in the office.

As a common people, they don’t have the power to wash away Mr. Thaksin’s nominee government. The only way is borrowing the power of the military.

Talking with him, Mr. Somchai’s doubt was crystal cleared. He then became a supporter of the rally.

Mr. Somchai thought he would pass the message to as many people as he can.
He happened to meet with one of his closest friend who gave him another thought, Mr. Chatri.

Mr. Chatri is the exporter of prawn who dislikes the rally. He told Mr. Somchai that the EU members and the U.S. will stop importing goods from Thailand if the coup were happening again.

He said he would lose business and the bank will no more issue him a loan.

Mr. Chatri also tried to convince Mr. Somchai to agree with him why the poor should support Mr. Thaksin, because he is the man that thinks differently and does what he thinks.

Mr. Chatri said there isn’t the former government takes care of the poor like Mr. Thaksin did. The current government policy is only Mr. Thaksin copycat.

Mr. Somchai argued that everybody knows that Mr. Thaksin is corrupted except for the poor.

As a more educated people, he insisted he would stand on his stance and not take side with them.

Mr. Somchai is proud of his explanation. The meeting ended with an agreement that the either parties would go on their own ways.

To win the challenge, Mr. Somchai decided to take the opportunity to join the rally as much as he can.

Agenda was purposed by the Saturday Voice Against Dictatorship, an anti-coup group, in calling for an investigation of spending oddities.

The Prime Minister Office responded at once by sending a copy of the complaint to Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej for his consideration.

A souce said Mr. Samak, also a Defense Minister, has options both to take action or turning a blind eye.

The coup makers, led by Gen Sonthi Boonyaratkalin, who retired September last year, were accused of seeking financial gain during in power.
