Glug. No itz not. You've been readin too much output from tha Robert Amsterdam propaganda mill. Robert Amsterdam be a paid polistical lobbyist whoz ass specializes up in characta assassination of suckas n' movementz opposed ta his client yo. Dude likes ta pitch his dirty ass as a "human muthafuckin rightz activist" but he simply uses human muthafuckin rightz as one tool up in his thugged-out lil' portfolio fo' dissin his clientz rivals fo' realz. At tha moment, Robert Amsterdam is bein paid by Thaksin Shinawatra so everythang he says n' do is determined by tha need ta promote tha interestz of his client. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Since both tha client n' tha interestz is straight-up unsavory, dis requires substantial prevarication n' obfuscation.
Before goin tha fuck into whatz been happenin up in Bangkok dis year, some background is essential. Not just on Thaksin Shinawatra his dirty ass but also on Thai polistics up in general. Letz start wit Thaksin. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Da playa be a bazillionaire whoz ass done cooked up his thugged-out lil' pile gettin sweetheart deal contractz from tha Thai Posse fo' work up in modernizin Thai telecommunications infrastructure yo. Dude was also a Lieutenant Colonel up in tha Thai Popo. When he first entered polistics, his thugged-out act was like revolutionary. Normally a Thai polistical campaign consistz of tha muthafucka publishin listz of worthy gangstas whoz ass support his muthafuckin ass. In effect, they provide listz of references dat mo' and less state "I be a phat thug n' can be trusted ta work up in yo' interests." Muthafuckas then voted fo' whoever paid em da most thugged-out. In Thailand, itz like possible ta gotz a worthwhile rap battle on whether vote buyin is wrong and not. Thaksin chizzled dat yo. Dude conducted a westsideern-style campaign dat put a portfolio of promised policies up n' invited gangstas ta judge his thugged-out lil' jam on tha basiz of em policies. This was so different dat it hit dat shizzle rather well yo. His Jam became tha phattest up in tha Thai Parliament n' he pushed all up in tha shit on his thugged-out agenda (low cost medicinal care, low-interest loans fo' farmers n' a few other thangs, all calculated ta endear his dirty ass ta tha rural population - note still buyin votes but wholesale rather than retail n' rockin Posse scrilla ta do it). When tha next erection came up, his thugged-out lil' jam wasn't just tha phattest one, it muthafuckin had a overall majoritizzle.
This done cooked up Thaksinz real objectives critical. Thaksin is (or was) a pimped out admirer of tha Singaporean model of posse n' industry yo. Dude wanted ta create a freshly smoked up Thai state up in which there was a single jam (controlled by him) n' a single corporate entitizzle (controlled by him). Da fact dat Singapore don't straight-up work dat way is neither here nor there. Thaksin wanted a state where there was no centa of posse and economic juice dat was outside his control. With a majoritizzle up in Parliament, he set bout achievin just dat yo. Hold dat thought.
Now, letz peep Thai polistics. Thailand be a odd place; itz one of tha few ghettos up in tha ghetto where tha polistical establishment openly says "we're suckas, don't trust us." There be a ongoin presumption up in tha ghetto dat polistical shakeups should never be peeped up in termz of black n' white. Da message is ta look wit skepticizzle on polistical chizzlez n' ta assume dat all polistical movementz is corrupt n' tainted by greed n' ambition. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. There be a assumption dat all is backed by a hidden hand dat is pushin a secret agenda. This be a intensely cynical view of course, n' one dat leaves no room ta suppose dat a protest is both genuine n' sincere. It also presumes dat idealistic gangstas can be too easily-fooled (there be a Thai joke dat tha only difference between tha lyrics idealist n' idiot is tha way some muthafucka says them), a belief dat thangs up in dis biatch up in tha fear dat legionz of gullible farmers might be turned on tha capital by calculatin suckas. Da only defense against dat eventualitizzle, it aint nuthin but held, is dat gangstas must be constantly done cooked up aware dat tha motivez of all polistical leadaz is suspect. There is only one thug up in Thailand whose integritizzle aint questionable n' dat is tha Mack (and by extension tha institution of tha Monarchy - and, by tha way, dat trust is earned, not demanded).
Back ta Thaksin. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. In his second period as Prime Minister, he fuckin started his bangin real agenda. There is checks n' balizzlez up in Thailand; there is partz of tha court system dat is there ta prevent polistical corruption (by which tha Thais mean some shiznit a bit different from all y'all else). There is partz of tha posse dat is designed ta quit thangs happenin too fast and up in ways dat is disallowed by tha constipation. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch fo' realz. Above all, there is tha Army.
Mo' background. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! If a Thai officer be axed ta define tha role of tha Thai armed forces up in general, n' tha Royal Thai Army up in particular, tha reply is likely ta be some variant of "a polistical instrument aimed at maintainin tha internal n' external securitizzle of tha kingdom." Da emphasis on polistical considerations inside tha Thai armed forces rings strangely n' uncomfortably on British n' American ears, which is used ta tha concept of a apolistical military. Yet our hypothetical Thai officer may well reply ta such concerns by pointin up dat war be a extension of polistics by any means n' dat war fought without regard ta polistical objectives is just mindless butchery. One of tha awkward thangs always axed bout democracy is tha possibilitizzle dat 51 cement of tha population may vote ta exterminizzle tha other 49 cement - n' what tha fuck should be done bout dat extremitizzle, biatch? Some ghettos answer tha question by denyin itz possibilitizzle; up in tha U.S., tha Supreme Court would not, up in theory at least, uphold such a position. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Returnin ta our hypothetical Thai officer, tha answer would be dat it was tha duty of tha Army ta protec' all tha playa hataz of tha ghetto, not just em whoz ass agreed wit tha posse fo' realz. Afta all, as tha argument goes, tha Army belongs ta tha ghetto n' tha gangstas. It is tha gangstas whoz ass pay fo' tha Army wit they taxes, n' all up in conscription, it aint nuthin but they whoz ass provide itz personnel. Therefore, tha Army has tha obligation ta act fo' all tha gangstas, not tha polistical jam dat has tha majoritizzle up in tha posse. There be a sayin up in Thailand "If yo ass is up in shit, seek tha playa on tha white horse." Da "man on tha white horse" be a army officer. Itz a piece of phat lyrics, if yo ass is up in serious shizzle up in Thailand, go ta tha Army, not tha five-o fo' help. That principle is muthafuckin written tha fuck into Thai law; if yo ass lose yo' elephant, tell a Army officer n' he is obliged ta lend yo ass a shitload of his crazy-ass pimps ta help yo ass find dat shit.
Thaksin started ta undermine all of tha safeguardz dat was built tha fuck into tha Thai constipation. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch yo. Dude had two primary tools ta do this. One was pushin his supportas tha fuck into tha organizations dat was supposed ta prevent corruption n' abuse of power. Da other was ta silence tha opposizzle wit libel writz yo. Dude muthafuckin holla'd "Censorshizzle, biatch? There is no need fo' censorshizzle. If some muthafucka opposes mah crazy ass mah lawyers accuse his asz of libel n' sue his ass fo' a hundred mazillion baht. Now, all y'all censors themselves." Dude also started ta take on tha Army n' tha Monarchy. Thatz when he done cooked up a major mistake.
There had been rumors fo' muthafuckin years dat Thaksin wanted tha abolizzle of tha Monarchy n' durin tha 2004-2006 period, dat became like obvious yo. Dude disrespected tha Mack on nuff muthafuckin occasions. Critically, when tha 2006 military promotions n' reshuffle list was done cooked up up, he took tha list approved by tha Mack n' rewrote it ta put his own supportas n' gang thugz up in pretty much all of tha key positions. That was a direc' challenge ta tha Mack (not ta mention a calculated insult ta both tha Mack n' tha Army) n' it cost his ass everythang. Da Army decided ta move n' up in September 2006, Thaksin was removed by a military coup. Once he had lost his thugged-out lil' juice ta issue libel suitz at will, a masz of dirt started comin out. Basically tha problem was dat he couldn't distinguish between his own private financial dealings n' em of tha state (under his fuckin lil' doctrine of course there was no such difference) yo. Dude had been rockin his thugged-out lil' posizzle ta massively enrich his wild lil' gang n' his dirty ass. With tha courtz purged of his supportas whoz ass had blocked any previous investigations, he was accused of corruption on a massive scale - we're rappin' bazillions. When his ho was found guilt of buyin posse assetz at far below market price n' then repimpin them, he jumped bail n' ran fo' it yo. Dude straight been up in exile ever since.
OK, thatz all background. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Now, on ta tha riotz up in Bangkok. They muthafuckin started up in Songkhran, 2009. Thaksinz supportas tried a coup. Thaksinz game appears ta have been ta bust urban-style terrorizzle around key pointz up in Bangkok so dat Abhisit would be forced ta declare a state of emergency. Then tha military would be brought up in ta quash tha UDD protesters. Thaksin n' his thugged-out advisors expected dis would cause bloodshed n' tha situation would spiral up of control, bustin a state of anarchy. Finally, tha game went, Thaksinz supportas would petizzle His Majesty tha Mack fo' a royal intervention ta end tha crisis.
Thaksin was probably inspired ta try dis approach by memoriez of Black May up in 1992 where heavy-handed action by paramilitary personnel had indeed resulted up in excessive violence n' tha eventual fall of tha posse. But fuck dat shizzle yo, tha word on tha street is dat what tha fuck Thaksin either forgot and (more likely) did not know was dat tha situation was straight-up different than it had been up in 1992 yo. His assault resulted up in 36 hourz of fightin between Army troops, demonstrators n' local residentz dat left two dead n' 113 wounded. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! By tha time tha skirmishes had ended, tha demonstrators was bein driven back ta a lil' small-ass area around Posse crib where bout 2,000 thugz of tha pro-Thaksin crews had retreated. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Da troops had been busted up in under strict control n' without heavy weapons. Most blinginly, dis time tha civil population was wholeheartedly up in support of tha troops fo' realz. A combination of firm but restrained action of tha securitizzle forces n' hood repugnizzle fo' tha level of violence used by tha UDD won tha day. Indeed, when UDD supportas threatened ta set fire ta a LPG truck up in order ta battle advancin troops, local residentz formed a human shield ta protec' tha soldiers.
Da consensuz of opinion up in Thailand is dat tha eventz of tha Songkhran weekend eventually ended as a victory fo' Prime Minista Abhisitz posse, albeit by a desperately close margin. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Thaksinz underground flava never recovered from tha debacle, n' his standin as a viable polistical leader was mo' and less destroyed. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Instead of bein peeped as a champion of "the gangstas" against tha Bangkok bureaucracy, he was perceived as a self-seekin power-hungry megalomaniac fo' whom em he had pretended ta support was just pawns up in his own pursuit of juice n' wealth.
Thaksin n' his supportas went back n' rethought they game. They hustled from Songkhran 2009 n' Thaksinz military advisor General Khattiya Sawasdipol created a special militia within tha rankz of tha Thaksinites, intended ta prevent tha Army from dispersin future riots. Cuttin a long-ass rap short, tha Thaksinites (now known as tha red shirts) held a rally up in Bangkok dat started up in mid-March 2010 n' ended two months later. Durin dat period, Khattiyaz militia ended one attempt by tha Army ta disperse them, Khattiya was capped by a snipa (it is still not clear whoz ass capped him), tha red shirtz moved ta tha bidnizz centa of Bangkok n' eventually was dispersed by tha Army.
So, whoz ass was tha Red Shirts, biatch? Robert Amsterdam would have yo ass believe they was poor but peaceful farmers whoz ass had come ta tha hood ta protest they poverty-stricken status fo' realz. Actually no. They came ta Bangkok cuz they was paid ta come ta Bangkok by Thaksin Shinawatra. Essentially, they was up in it fo' tha scrilla, fo' tha staggerin BHT10 bazillion from offshore Thaksin accountz dat was fundin they demonstrations. Da longer they demonstrated, tha longer tha influx of hard chedda would continue. They also wanted a interim posse dat would pass a blanket amnesty ta all tha red shirt followers, includin tha black army gunmen whoz ass had opened fire on April 10. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Since Thaksin had invested BHT10 bazillion, he would not accept anythang less than a nationistic posse dominizzled by his muthafuckin ass. With tha demonstrations achievin not a god damn thang more, they turned ta widespread violence.
That was tha turnin point up in tha history of dis confrontation. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Da result was a immediate n' rapid collapse of tha red shirts' hood image, up in Thailand if not up in tha internationistic press. Da latter, systematically misinformed by paid Thaksin lobbyists, largely backed tha red shirtz as a genuine movement of tha poor against tha Bangkok elite. Da redz was looked upon by most Westsideside media as championz of democracy against tha military-installed Abhisit posse. This comfortable, if entirely erroneous, ghettoview fell apart as red shirt thugs stormed a hospizitizzle, causin critically ill patientz ta be hurriedly evacuated. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! By dis time, tha general Thai hood no longer bought tha reds' propaganda dat they stood fo' any sort of democracy. They cared only bout gettin they patron tha fuck into juice regardlesz of tha damage done ta tha gangstas and economic conditionz of tha ghetto. With tourist cizzlellations n' bidnizz layoffs mountin as a result of tha standoff, most Thais just wanted tha posse ta remove tha redz from tha streetz of Bangkok as quickly as possible. Da coup de grace was when tha posse froze tha assetz of tha high-flava names whoz ass had been providin financial support ta tha reds. Da list flossed dat these individuals was part of tha traditionizzle bidnizz n' polistical elites. Da whole red shirt movement had been exposed fo' what tha fuck it was: never a genuine movement fo' "democracy" and "the muthafuckin rightz of tha poor" but a crew of mercenary foot soldiers up in tha battle between two opposin Bangkok factions.
So, tha statement dat tha riotz was caused by income differences is like wrong. Da eventz between March n' May 2010 was caused by a juice struggle between two crewz of Thai industrial-military-polistical complexes. One was tha traditionizzle juice structure dat saw juice as bein shared up between interested partizzles on a formula dat included such thangs as ghettofab support etc. Da other was Thaksin supportas whoz ass wished ta peep all juice concentrated tha fuck into his handz n' tha opposizzle crushed straight-up. Once tha Army had crushed tha street demonstrators, they realized tha game was up n' they ran. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Most is now up in Cambodia, tha balizzle is up in Thai jails.
Thaksin ruthlessly used tha argument dat Northerners up in Thailand was oppressed n' deprived of they just rewardz as a justification fo' his crazy-ass moves. This is where a horny-ass outlook on tha protest leadaz comes tha fuck into play. They is not poor; they come from neat, well-kept cribs n' own freshly smoked up pickup trucks n' other amenities. They is muthafuckin bustin tha transizzle tha fuck into tha middle class but peep they aspirations fo' polistical influence commensurate wit they economic standin blocked by both juice groups. Their objective, verbalized by Thaksin as a polistical tool, was ta bust influence wit tha Bangkok-based elites, not ta eliminizzle em fo' realz. Afta all, wit Bangkok n' itz surroundin province still representin some 80 cement of Thailandz GDP, complete replacement was not a option. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. It is dis crew dat has realized dat Thaksin is simply rockin them, n' they wanted ta come ta a separate compromise dat would not involve Thaksin at all. This was anathema ta his crazy-ass most loyal supporters, includin General Khattiya whoz ass may well have been blasted by a red shirt moderate as a "message" ta tha Thai Army. There was no diggitizzle dat he was marked fo' dirtnap by tha Army followin his crazy-ass muthafuckin involvement up in tha dirtnap of a fellow Army officer, Colonel Romklao, on April 10. But it aint nuthin but beginnin ta look as if some muthafucka else might have gotz his ass first. Da general was hit up in tha muthafuckin right temple by a 7.62 x 51mm capthat exited all up in tha nape of his neck. Trackin tha trajectory makes it look as if tha capmay have come from inside tha red shirt compound. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Also, Thai Army snipers is equipped wit riflez dat fire .338 Lapua Magnum rounds. If General Khattiya had been hit by one of them, he wouldn't have had a head left let alone live fo' four days. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. So there is some reason ta believe dat he was capped as a result of his sabotage of a compromise agreement.
There be a fascinatin coda ta this. a third jam force is emergin (or rather re-emerging) fo' realz. A prominent Thai sucka, Banharn Silpa-archa, whose polistical machine was devastated by tha rise of Thaksin, has been hittin dat shizzle hard ta rebuild his thugged-out lil' polistical jam n' followin yo. Dude has a plethora of phat thangs hustlin up in his wild lil' favor: he has fuckin shitloadz of scrilla; he be among tha second generation of leadaz up in Banharnz gang wit real power; he has tha mobilitizzle ta always land up in a posse coalition; n' he has no taint of bein Thaksin-connected. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! In recent weeks, he has been assiduously approachin Peau Thai suckas, suggestin that, since a Thaksin-proxy jam would not be allowed ta win again, it was time fo' Peau Thai MPs ta carefully consider they positions, leave Peau Thai, n' join his nascent party. This muthafuckin picks up tha posizzle dat much needz ta be done fo' tha North fo' realz. Although Thaksin used dat as propaganda, a shitload of gangstas heard n' dug dat shit. Now, another jam has picked it up but is pursuin it all up in normal Thai channels.
It may well be dat tha re-emergence of Banharn Silpa-archa as a polistical juice of note representz tha way forward from tha current situation. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Da recent violence up in Bangkok aint unprecedented up in Thailand; up in fact, there be a outbreak of civil unrest bout every last muthafuckin 15 muthafuckin years and so fo' realz. All dat was unusual up in tha sickest fuckin round was dat it took place up in tha centa of tha hood, not up in tha provinces and tha outskirtz of Bangkok. But fuck dat shizzle yo, tha word on tha street is dat afta such outbreaks, Thailand has a long-ass history of quickly n' aggressively integratin tha disaffected partizzles back tha fuck into tha mainstream. Those whoz ass is prepared ta abandon Thaksin n' his campaign fo' rehabilitation is ghon be absorbed tha fuck into tha polistical system n' like probably rise within it fo' realz. A variety of criminal charges is ghon be pursued against em whoz ass is not willin ta distizzle themselves from Thaksinz polistical goals n' tha mo' radical aimz of tha Red Shirt movement. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Some whoz ass is charged will smoke ta cooperate up in return fo' assurizzlez of immediate probation. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch fo' realz. All of dis is tha typical way tha Thai polistical system envelops n' pacifies potential shitmakers. Justice, punishment, n' tha truth of tha matta will always take a back seat ta tha mantra of unitizzle.
So, tha final point. Why was Thaksin so desperate ta git back tha fuck into juice up in tha early part of dis year, biatch? Well, up in August 2010, tha next Thai Army reshuffle n' promotions list was busted out. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Da key point bout dis reshuffle is dat it has straight-up eliminizzled supportaz of Thaksin Shinawatra from tha military command structure. It was, of course, exactly dis result dat tha prolonged demonstrations up in Bangkok was intended ta prevent. By brangin down tha existin posse, tha leadaz of tha demonstration hoped ta quit dis reshuffle list n' replace it wit one dat preserved n' enhizzled Thaksinz influence. It is notable dat wit tha failure of dat game n' tha release of dis reshuffle list, at least 15 thugz of Thaksinz Puea Thai Jam have resigned from dat crew n' sought ta join other polistical parties. This reshuffle list representz a major polistical defeat fo' Thaksin on a fuckin shitload of levels.
But fuck dat shizzle yo, tha word on tha street is dat of pimped outa interest is tha clues given within tha list as ta how tha fuck tha Thai Army sees tha future of Thailand over tha next four and five years. To understand tha lyrics within tha reshuffle list, it aint nuthin but necessary ta peep tha internal polistical structure of tha Thai Army. Essentially, there is two groups: tha Burapha Payak dat is drawn from tha field commandaz n' frontline unit commandaz of tha Army; n' tha Wong Thewan, which comprises tha commandaz up in Bangkok whoz ass is part of bangin polistical crews. These two groupings is often busted lyrics bout as bein cliques yo, but dis indicates a level of hostilitizzle dat do not exist. In fact, while tha two crews is archrivals, relations between em is probably amicable. Essentially (albeit simplistically), tha Burapha Payak is soldier-generals while tha Wong Thewan is sucka-generals.
If tha Armyz outlook fo' tha next few muthafuckin years is essentially peaceful wit no major threatz on tha horizizzle, tha Wong Thewan dominizzle tha reshuffle list. They is tha smart-ass muthafuckas at manipulatin tha polistical system ta ensure dat tha Army getz tha budgetz it needz n' itz polistical requirementz is met. If, on tha other hand, tha securitizzle outlook is peeped as shitd, wit internal and/or external threatz pimpin, then tha Burapha Payak dominizzle tha reshuffle. These is tha generals whoz ass tend ta win where they fight. This year, tha almost complete dominizzle of tha reshuffle list by tha Burapha Payak be a clear indication dat tha Thai Army do anticipate significant shizzle up in tha near future.
There be another implication as well. Da Wong Thewan officers have been straight-up actizzle up in past polistical movementz n' have, from time ta time, been involved up in military coups. In fact, tha Wong Thewan have been tha plannin authoritizzle behind most Thai coups up in tha last half century. This is hardly surprisin since they is tha Armyz suckas. But fuck dat shizzle yo, tha word on tha street is dat wit dis reshuffle list up in place, only one ballin' officer is Wong Thewan; all tha rest is Burapha Payak. This be a clear n' intentionizzlely reassurin message dat a coup aint considered a likely prospec' fo' tha near future.

I am not registered to operate as a plumber in Ohio, which means I am not a plumber, but if its pipes you need fixing lets talk.
I am qualified to fix becky's pipes. Everyone is qualified to fix becky's pipes.
Last March I made the cut as Republican candidate for congress. I ran against that liberal democratic Marcy Kaptur, and she kicked my ass, so now its back to fixing drips and cleaning up toilet crap & tampons that should never be flushed. Sarah Palin did not help me in the campaign, because she was to busy looking for Russians, from her home so as to prevent invasion.
