Truth and Justice Before Reconciliation


It was an atrocity that 92 people died and thousands were injured in bloody incidents during Thailand’s pro-democracy demonstration in 2010.
And it is another atrocity that justice has not been delivered yet and so far, not a single government official has been prosecuted for those deaths and injuries.  What's worse is that there are signs that amnesty will be granted to those involved.
It will be a true betrayal of the victims if their right to truth and justice is sacrificed for the sake of reconciliation.  No amnesty should be granted before the truth comes out and before those responsible for the deaths and injuries are prosecuted.

The Thai Democrat Party: Porn Loving Nazi Murderers



In the past few months some Democrat Party Ministers of Parliament in Thailand have shown the true colors of their political organization and have demonstrated why they haven’t won a national election in over 20 years. 

Just last month during a session in Parliament, an image of a naked woman in a provocative pose flashed across the giant monitors.

According to a Bangkok Post report on 24 April, speculation is that a mobile or portable device transmitted the image via the WiFi system from within building.

And who was caught watching pornography in Parliament that day on his iPhone?  None other than Democrat Party MP Nat Bantadtan, son of Democrat party-list MP and executive Banyat Bantadtan.

Then, if that type of behavior wasn’t bad enough, on May 2nd during another session in Parliament debate Democrat Party MP Boonyod Sukthinthai gave the Nazi salute screamed “Heil Hitler” at the top of his lungs on the House floor. 



Ironically, Greece just elected 21 members of the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party to their parliament. Golden Dawn activists often salute like Hitler and want landmines planted on the Greek borders to fend off illegal immigrants. They, like their Democrat Party counterparts in Thailand often deny their neo-Nazi label.  

Then there is the ongoing saga of Democrat Party MP Khanchit Thapsuwan.

The Samut Sakhon Court on Dec 26 last year issued a warrant for the arrest of Mr Khanchit in connection with the murder of Provincial Administration Organization chairman Udon Kraiwatnussorn, who was shot dead at a petrol station in Muang district of Samut Sakhon on Dec 25.

Porn Loving Nazi Murderers indeed! I can’t think of a more appropriate leader of the Democrat Party than someone like Abhisit Vejjajiva, who had innocent people killed in cold blood so that he could stay as Prime Minister for a few months longer.

And I can’t think of a more appropriate deputy spokeswoman for the Thai Democrat Party than Mallika Boonmeetrakul, who wants the government to totally close down all social networking sites, including Facebook, YouTube and Twitter.

Parliament Porn Picture Scandal Explained

A porn image aired three times on a plasma screen in the middle of a crucial constitutional amendment debate in the Thai Parliament on Wednesday.  

According to reports, a provocative photo of a young Asian girl wearing only a white shirt and sitting with her legs spread with her hand covering her genitals suddenly appeared on four 55-inch plasma screens about 3 pm local time.

The photograph lasted about five seconds each time it appeared, replacing pictures of the chamber at a time when the House of Representatives were debating on a charter amendment.  Democrat Party list MP Pirapan Saleerathavibhagha was speaking at the time.

The shocked and embarrassed parliament officials eventually turned off all the screens.

A photographer of a local medium could capture the girl's picture and soon it went viral among Thai internet users.

Khamphi Ditthakorn, Deputy Secretary-General of the house who supervises parliament's AV system, said that the four, 55-inch plasma displays in the debating chamber are Wi-Fi enabled, adding that any of the numerous visitors to parliament could have hacked into the system.

The speaker has ordered an investigation into the incident.

I, too, have started an investigation and have a theory.

It’s rather simple really – a case of miscommunication possibly due to a lack of proper education in the English language by those in control of the Parliament video screens. The real intention was to put up a sports picture of prominent Democrat and former Finance Minister Korn Chatikavanij.  Korn enjoys soccer as does his longtime friend and fellow British citizen, Abhisit Vejjajiva.  

Somehow the order to “display KORN with a PUNT” became “display PORN with a CU..”! Well, you get the picture… and so did everybody else.

Finger Lickin’ Not So Good

While people in coastal areas rushed to reach higher ground in the wake of a huge earthquake in Indonesia on Wednesday, the Kentucky Fried Chicken Thailand fan page told followers to order a takeaway.

"People should hurry home this evening to monitor the earthquake situation and don't forget to order the KFC menu, which will be delivered direct to your hands," it said.


The post, which was later removed, generated a storm of outrage on Thai web pages.

"The person behind this advertisement should be fired for their lack of common sense and responsibility," said one of the dozens of posters on the subject on the Pantip web board.

A new message on the KFC Facebook page on Thursday apologized for the "mistake".

Personally, I’m not so sure KFC Thailand needs to apologize for urging tsunami evacuees to "hurry home and follow the earthquake news. And don't forget to order your favorite KFC menu." After all, the fast food chain just saw a "disaster advertising opportunity," or "disadvertunity." At least KFC was trying to get important information to people which was more than can be said for Thai television stations who wouldn’t breakaway from a funeral ceremony. 


Besides, KFC is the perfect disaster food because after you finish the family size bucket you can row it to safety.


I’m much more critical of KFC Thailand’s decision to use Yellow Shirt PAD terrorist Somsak Kosiasuuk as their mascot to sell fried chicken.

Why Channel 7 Reporter Somjit Nawakruasunthorn Doesn’t Celebrate Songkran

Somjit Navakruasunthorn calls herself political “reporter” for the army's Channel 7 television station based at the parliament. 

Somjit Navakruasunthorn

Last August during a press conference with Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra, Somjit posed some insulting questions. One question the PM rightly refused to answer was: "Do you ever think of doing something for the country or the people sometimes or not?" That question was preceded by this one: "Do you think the cabinet is uglier than the PM?"

Clearly, Ms. Somjit was not acting as a reporter trying to interview the Prime Minister.  She was trying to embarrass Yingluck while the cameras were rolling.  Her obvious hostility to the country's Prime Minister is not surprising, since she has written two books practically worshipping former PM Abhisit, the most recent one which Abhisit helped promote with personal appearances at book signings. She has even admitted that she participated in the PAD’s terrorist takeover of Suvarnabhumi International Airport in 2008.  

And this was not the only incident where Ms. Somjit has demonstrated her lack of journalistic ethics by asking intimidating questions. I’ve unearthed a rare interview by Ms. Somjit which started with her intimidating her subjects. Then all hell starts to break loose and things get out of hand.

See for yourself…


Evidently, Somjit Navakruasunthorn is both a bitch and a witch!  And that is why Ms. Somjit doesn't celebrate Songkran. 

"Oh, what a world! What a world!"
