Thaksin is SHIT. He is Thailand’s Hitler.

He’ll burn in eternal hell …. and suffer for the rest of his life.

Thaksin is a liar. He never keeps what he said. He used money to buy the votes in the election. He also bought politicians to join his party. He bought senators, judges and used his influence as a prime mister to ask the government offericers to corrupt and acted for his own benefits including his closed relatives and friends. He is a debit to Thailand and to the country in the long run. Many thinks he promised, he was not able to achieve.

I’m pro him because he did manything for rural thais. It’s joke if he became the tyrant. I’m think that thai people being confront with really tyrant now. They’ll knowing about real propaganda that what is it. It’s being influence thai people now, everyday when I’m wake till I’m sleep the medias’ll shoots about the suff-eco campaign all day long. It’s good…….

the interview was nonsense. How on earth Rivers had thught about asking this clown those questions. It’s like asking the liar of his involvement in a very serious crime. No one with a clear mind would say yes to this kind of question.

I have one question to ask the CNN, Did former PM. Thaksin Shinnawatra hire you to interview and broadcast worldwide? How much he paid for such the short and stupid interview?

Thaksin once said that if the King whispered to him and told him to leave, he would leave. Well, the coup was more than a whisper – it was a thunderclap.

As long as the current King reigns, Thaksin has no chance in politics. His retirement from politics is wise and realistic.

I have to agree with Vichai on this.
What ever happened to “keep your friends close and your enemies even closer”?

I wonder if CNN knows that its website and signal in Thailand have been blocked, (apparently the website is back up now). That would be an interesting news story in itself.

Who knows what else the royalist regime might want to block its Thai subjects from knowing – bad economic news, international criticism of the regime, unwanted results from the English premier league; the list could be endless. But such censorship is entirely in keeping with nature of royalist hegemony over the Thai polity: it can only survive by controlling what its subjects see and hear. Hence the central importance of lese majeste to the survival of the ratchakan state. Without lese majeste the entire edifice of royalist power in Thailand would collapse. Even the UNDP would find it difficult to save them.

Thaksin is a real “people’s hero”, doing everything for the people and the country. Well, at least he did well for some people, such as in the Shin Corp sale that triggered the protests when Sonthi Limthongkul was about to leave the scene, and eventually led to the coup. But, surely, Thaksin would never do anything “stupid”!

“Rivers: Will you go back to, back to politics?

Shinawatra: No. No. (DR: Go back as a private … ) Enough is enough. Six years you serve the countries. You been working hard. You sacrifice your time even your life. And, even your family life. So it’s, it’s time for me to go back as a private citizen. And contribute to the Thai society outside political arena.”

Can we believe him (this time) ?

I’m more worried about him being vindictive, and using his wealth to cause trouble.
