BANGKOK (Reuters) - More than 10 tanks blocked roads around Thailand's government headquarters in Bangkok on Tuesday, Reuters witnesses said, and Army television broadcast images of the royal family and songs associated in the past with military coups.

Government officials said Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, in the middle of a political crisis fomented by a street campaign against him, planned to return from New York on Thursday, a day earlier than scheduled. They gave no reason

I think when the tanks roll up through the streets of the capital, then can stop calling it 'rumors' of a coup.

Sounds like they're taking pirate day a little too far if you ask me.

I love the fact that they have coup songs!

"An army-owned TV station is showing images of the royal family and songs linked in the past with military coups."

CNN is reporting that the state television station is broadcasting a message in Thai saying they are now in control of the government, and they have blocked the prime minister's office with tanks.

Well this is after all a land of hores and gun toting monks. The source of our greatest scourge Heroin and violent little men. People without a culture livig in an outdated Indian pantomime the meanings of which the know little of.

They kill their own regardless of religion (muslims) or gender, or politics. If Thailand does not have a coup every ten years or so they may become civilised. But their strategic location means that in order for their US military masters to benefit from their location they have to create instability.

The Muslim insurgency will now create the worst instability for the region and Singapore will export arms to one and all and make money from it.

The King is one of the last remaining fascists who like the Shah will be forced out and the country will be split. Myyanmar, Cambodia and Laos will all reclaim their bits of land back.

These are peaceful Buddhists who have learned coup d'etat frome their Muslim friends and neighbors. However, this coup is taking much longer than expected since they are using French tanks which only run in reverse

Hey Rabbi - Is the King a Buddhistic-Fascist?
