Thailand: Regime Cites Own Terror Campaign as Pretext for "Emergency Decree"

Just the day before the first deadly grenade attack, TIME Magazine would report in its article, " Bangkok Shutdown: Yingluck Supporters Prepare to Fight for Democracy ," that:  As Thailand’s anti-government protests enter their fourth day, observers say prospects for violent confrontation are increasing,  with reports of government supporters stockpiling weapons in case of Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra’s ouster.  According to the Bangkok Post, radical members of the Red Shirts — diehard champions of Yingluck and her notorious brother Thaksin Shinawatra —  are readying a cache of arms  in case the 46-year-old premier is forced from office by either military or judicial intervention.  The paper quoted a Red Shirt source as saying  “There are strong anti-coup and anti-court sentiments among the red-shirt mavericks who are familiar and experienced with weapon use.†Police loyal to the regime have also made overt threats,  claiming they were preparing an armed campaign against protesters  if elections were delayed in a systematic pattern of violence that have become the notorious hallmarks of Thaksin Shianwatra’s regime – leaving no doubt as to who is behind recent attacks.  Astonishingly, after conducting a concerted campaign of terror against Occupy Bangkok protesters, the regime is now issuing an "emergency decree" prohibiting gatherings and inviting in draconian tactics to deal with those who defy the decree. Thailand’s English paper The Nation would report in their article, " State of emergency announced ," that: The caretaker Cabinet announced the state of emergency for Bangkok and some parts of nearby provinces, which will last 60 days.  The state of emergency was announced on TV by caretaker Deputy Prime Minister Chalerm Yoobamrung
