Thailand

Protesters are fighting against a loud, violent, and well connected minority led by Thaksin Shinawatra and backed by Wall Street. January 14, 2014 (ATN) - Even at face value, Eric Sommer's (under the pen name David Marx) op-ed on Russia's RT is full of factual errors that call into question both his premise and his conclusion.

Regime threatens protesters daily, attacks them nightly - with their notorious "men in black" force. January 11, 2014 (ATN) - There have been several troubling warnings by the regime and its backers that they plan to deploy covert violence against protesters and their own police in order to disrupt growing dissent against the embattled regime of dictator Thaksin Shinawatra.

Thailand has those who support the regime, others who boldly oppose it, and there is another group - those who believe appeasement, idealism, and denial will solve everything. History disagrees.  January 9, 2014 (ATN) - Bangkok Post's column writer Voranai Vanijaka is sharp. He is well informed and a skillful writer.

However, like all of us, Voranai is also human.
