"She should have died hereafter. There would have been a time for such a word. Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, creeps in this petty pace to the last syllable of recorded time. And all our yesterdays have lighted fools ways to their dustry death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets . . . . It's a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing!" “The Queen, My Lord, is dead.”‘

With the combinations and permutations of the Queen, the Crown Prince, and the various Princesses, only Shakespeare could do the this Palace's intrigues justice.

(You don't have to believe it, just explain it). As far as I can see, it doesn't even rise to the level of circumstantial. If there was such a plot, why didn't we see blood flow in the streets of Bangkok on the day of the Red Shirt's rioting, which surely would have be the best way to create chaos and discredit the government? Can anyone here make, or at least explain the argument?
