We didn’t do anything…
Even in the weird world of politics inhabited by the military-backed Abhisit Vejjajiva regime, some things are weirder than others. PPT was taken aback by Deputy Prime Minister Suthep Thaugsuban’s recent statement that “rumours and allegations were being circulated about the government using force against the protesters. He claimed the allegations were part of a plot to land the government in hot water.”
The claim – no, let’s call a spade a spade – the lie is that the government used no violence. Hang the body count (that was presumably red shirts killing red shirts), hang the video and other images of the crackdown (presumably faked by terrorists). And yes, forget the military’s own claims that they were prepared to accept mammoth casualties, including up to 500 deaths, in their crackdown.
Really, how stupid does Suthep think the world outside the military barracks of CRES is?
