Links Thai Crisis: Alternative Thai News Round Up December 18, 2013 (Tony Cartalucci) – With the ongoing counter-color revolution unfolding in Thailand against the Wall Street-backed regime of Thaksin Shinawatra, here are some stories published on Alternative Thai News that weren’t yet posted on Land Destroyer.

From demanding participants of a legally sanctioned parade get their approval before proceeding (after violently dispersing a previous parade), to claiming "self-defense" when butchering an old man outside of his own home with knives and guns, to referring to convicted criminal, fugitive, and mass murderer, billionaire Thaksin Shinawatra, as the "embodiment of democracy," we are given a roller coaster ride through the twisted minds of Thailand’s electorate which continues to return a dangerous criminal to power, whether or not he is on the ballot, or even in the country.
