December 30, 2013  (Tony Cartalucci) – Singapore’s "The Straits Times" reports in their article, " Thai protests: ‘Red shirts’ plan to hit back Leader warns of retaliation if Yingluck government is forced to cede power ," that: ANGRY "red shirts" in northern Thailand are preparing to hit back as anti-government protests in Bangkok are set to enter their third month. Having stayed largely in the background, the red shirts, who propelled the Puea Thai party to power in 2011, are upset by what they see as a weak government response to the protesters’ attempts to paralyse the capital and disrupt the Feb 2 election. And they are quietly making plans to retaliate if Ms Yingluck Shinawatra’s caretaker government is forced, by a military coup or other means, to cede power to an unelected administration. The Times would also report: In the current protests, Thai police have shown relative restraint for fear that any sign of brutality would give legitimacy to protesters and provoke a military intervention

Thailand: Regime Police Fire Rubber Bullets at Protesters’ Heads Regime violence will only increase number, resolve of protesters  – sham elections being disrupted. December 26, 2013  (Tony Cartalucci) – Several protesters have been sent to the hospital as police began firing tear gas, rubber bullets, and using chemical laden water fired from water canons at the Thai-Japanese Stadium in Din Daeng, Bangkok. Reports and images from the clashes indicate that police have been firing rubber bullets at the heads of protesters, an illegal method that will only escalate tensions and attract more protesters – as was seen early December when protesters began overwhelming police barricades at one government building after another, including police stations, ministry buildings and Government House. Images : (Top) Protesters clashing outside the Thai-Japanese Stadium – Din Daeng, Bangkok
Since the 2006 coup that toppled his regime, Thaksin has been represented by US corporate-financier elites via their lobbying firms including, Kenneth Adelman  of the Edelman PR firm  ( Freedom House , International Crisis Group , PNAC ), James Baker of Baker Botts  ( CFR , Carlyle Group ), Robert Blackwill  ( CFR ) of Barbour Griffith & Rogers (BGR) , Kobre & Kim , Bell Pottinger  ( and here ) and currently Robert Amsterdam  of Amsterdam & Partners  ( Chatham House ). The protesters then, see the privatization and selling off of Thailand’s natural resources and infrastructure, the pending FTA’s the regime has been attempting to pass, the chaos in the nation’s south, the atrocious "war on drugs," and the use of Thailand to serve the strategic interests of the West, in particular the United States, as intolerable.
