Undercurrent’ grows stronger

A copy of the ‘undercurrent’ letter sent by supporters of the overthrown government to many government agencies in Khon Kaen.
The “political undercurrent” involving supporters of the ousted government is becoming stronger in Khon Kaen, with an anonymous open letter circulating in the province.

“Political undercurrent” is a term used by the coup makers to refer to Thai Rak Thai supporters who are feared to be preparing acts of rebellion against the new government.

The anonymous letter was sent to government agencies in Khon Kaen from Pak Chong post office in Nakhon Ratchasima. It consists of two pages with the pictures of 14 people, including Privy Council President Prem Tinsulanonda with the caption “A person who is rich in charisma … The Instructor”.

The photo of General Surayud Chulanont’s photo is captioned “nominee PM”, General Sonthi Boonyaratglin “the person who took orders”, Kaewsan Atibodhi “time to take revenge”, Sondhi Limthongkul “Chinese rebel” and Maj-General Chamlong Srimuang “skin head, the leader of the blood suckers”.

The letter also has a photograph of deposed prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra with the caption “PM Thaksin … The poor will never forget you. We will always wait for you.”

A Special Branch police officer said yesterday that several government agencies had confirmed that the “undercurrent” exists, even though it has not yet developed into a mass movement. It is being carried out secretly across the country and is being monitored by police. At one stage it involved former senators and MPs.

Khon Kaen University Assistant Professor Buapan Prompakping said the CNS must lift martial law so that opponents would be able to organise their activities openly and the government could deal with them more easily.

“If the government cannot stop the undercurrent, it will be hard to handle the political situation when Thaksin returns,” he said.

Third Army Region commander Lt-General Chiradet Kacharat said the military was prepared for acts of opposition against the government. “If the situation is serious, we can move our force within half an hour,” he said.

Att man nämner Privy Council President Prem Tinsulanonda som initiativtagaren (instruktören) känns lite olustigt, speciellt eftersom det ligger i linje med mina egna teorier. Att samtidigt CNS (Council for National Security) begär pengar, och får det beviljat, för att bygga en så kallad säkerhets brigad som skall kunna hålla politiska demonstrationer i schack gör inte situationen bättre.

Min favoritgeneral, Chavalit, NOT, deklarar fortsatta band med TRT. Han och Prem är inte bästa kompisar alltså.

Privy Council President Gen Prem Tinsulanonda vägrade kommentera förra veckans möte med Thaksin’s fru Pojaman.

Mina vänner, vad är det som händer?

Militären stärker greppet. In med specialstyrkor – Förvånar det? En grupp äldre, konservativa män som påstår sig vilja hjälpa demokratiprocesssen genom att störta en folkvald?!

De som vill protestera finns – och de skulle protestera – om de bara kunde…
