BANGKOK POST BREAKING NEWS – Thai Troops Arrest Red Mob In Khon Kaen

BANGKOK EMERGENCY SITUATION – The ‘State Of Emergency’ gives the Thai security forces more power to act and that is designed for the safety of the general public.  The imposed curfew is strict and people should not wander out onto the streets in Bangkok and the other designated provinces from 9:00pm until 5:00am.  In an extreme case you might be arrested.  For your own safety and to enable the Thai authorities to maintain security, it is advisable to follow the Thai governments regulations.  Go out shopping during the day.  Stock up on food and household supplies in the daytime and stay home at night.  The same as I am doing as I report to you from Bangkok.  (Dave The Rave)

BREAKING NEWS 4:15 PM – Thai TV Channel 9  was just showing an arsenal of automatic weapons and bombs, which are safely kept by the Thai authorities.  This is damning evidence against the anti-government terrorists and makes CNN reporter Dan Rivers look very stupid indeed.  On the CNN website a survey conducted showed that over 60% of voters think Thailand is heading for a civil war.  There is anger and outrage at CNN reporter Dan Rivers, who is strongly accused of being a red shirt sympathizer.  You would think that a huge media company like CNN would at least have a sense of responsibility, if not accountability.
