Thailand protests stir up inflammatory anti-Cambodian sentiments
By Bangkok Pundit / Asian Correspondent | Dec 31, 2013
On December 26, after clashes between police and
protesters, when an ASTV reporter is interviewing a protester who has
been injured (after she asks him about his injuries and what happened,
and what did the police do to him), she asks him “Were there any
Cambodians? Cambodian police?” (“แล้วๆ มีเขมรด้วยไม๊คะ ตำรวจเขมร
มีไม๊”). From around 1:20 minute mark:
BP: The reporter doesn’t really get a positive answer to her questions, but there is a reason she is asking these questions….
On December 26, on the Ratchadomnern protest stage in the evening is one of the regular speakers, (บุญส่ง ชเลธร/Boonsong Chaletorn).* He is relaying to the crowd the events of that day as he experienced them. He says there are some truths that he wants to tell the crowd which is that half of the police in black were Cambodians; they are Cambodian soldiers. He says they paid Cambodian money to Cambodian fighters. They brought Cambodians to shoot us. Cambodian soldiers to kill the people. From around the 19:30 minute mark for around 40 seconds and again (the kill us reference) at 21:55:
BP: The clear implication from this inflammatory rhetoric is that it makes it easier for the protesters** to feel justified in physically attacking the police because the police are not Thais; they are just Cambodian mercenaries (no doubt paid personally by the evil one, and of course, paid in Cambodian money because that is the only type of money that Cambodian mercenaries would accept). Expect to see a continuation of this rhetoric as the protesters up the ante…

Blame on Cambodians? They are Queen Sirikit's scret army. She is the secret most powerful woman in Thailand. Her army are in Black, her army also prepares to block her playboy son, from taking the Throne. Because if he takes the thrond his former porn star wife will be Queen. Sirikit is not just Queen, but she is powerful and a worlc richest Queen. Her husband the King is impotent and locked himselc in the Hospital for his aging and illness.
ReplyDeleteIf the Black army are Cambodians, they are Yuon. Yuon population in Thailand is more than 10 millions since 1700's.
