More flack from Sec. Russel's comments. NLA wants U.S. envoy to explain.

Remember the rice scheme and Yingluck's impeachment, now we have the rubber scheme. Of course, the rubber tappers are from the south and were marching in support of Suthep.

from the headline of the linked article "the government is to consider...", from the body of the article some public servants "will ask the government to consider...", but according to you "now we have..." a rubber scheme - why don't we wait for an actual scheme to be implemented before we start dropping non-subtle hints about where rubber is grown in ThailandQuote:

did you post this link because you seriously thought it would help others understand the situation in Thailand? or because you thought it may challenge some people to think about and to see through such shallow manipulative reporting? or the whole thing was just a joke and it is my sarcasm and chain-jerking filter that needs replacing?

The article pointed out the parallels between the two schemes, one of course led to the impeachment of the PM Yingluck. This report is based on the linked report within the article from the government's news website which you may wish to read so I provided the link. The rubber growers plan to converge on the Government House if their requests are not met.Quote:

I won't waste my time asking again why you make such postsQuote:

I make such posts to keep others informed on the latest political situation in Thailand. As you know I usually provide just links without editorializing and let people make up their minds. The Bangkok coconuts article caught my eye since it illustrates in my mind the lack of fair play and double standards. They took the official government news story and suggested the politics at work behind the scenes. I know you like only reputable news sources so here's one for you from the WSJ. The junta is fooling no one except perhaps you.Quote:

As a gay man I have always been accused of jerking my own chain. Thanks for reminding me.Quote:
