I am trying to recall when was the last time
another government resorted to ridiculous lying to its own people, why,
and what as the consequences.
The situation would be
much worse if such a government had to hope to rely on their repeated or
amended lies, one after another, following the needs to retreat in the
face of evidences contradicting to their lies. But the lies keep
on coming out of the sitting high authorities, through the state media.
If that wasn't Thailand, nor the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution era China, where else could that be. why?
Just to illustrate a few, here they are:
1)
Regarding the existence and roles of the "black clothed men"
during the December 26 incidents at Thai-Japanese Stadium in Ding Daeng
Reports
from the field by the media first indicated a cop and a protester were
fatally shot by live-bullets along with 171 injured, many of them,
including many policemen, by live bullets.
The issue: Where did those live bullets come from, whose guns?
The
police: None of the 1800-2000 policemen dispatched to the site carried
any guns or live bullets. This is lie number one.
This
lie by police chief and the police spokesman was cracked almost
instantly when international journalists and people at the site showed
hundreds of photographs of police firing various types of guns and
tossing grenades at protesters.
2. "Black clothed men" brought in to instigate angers and worsen violence
The
issue: Did the black clothed men exist? Were they Thai
policemen? Why were they there? Why did they had to attire in
black rather than their regular police uniform?
Thai police: Nobody saw any black clothed men
Thai
police had to concede to the existence of the black clothed men on the
rooftop only after the photographs taken by some foreign photographers
were shared in the facebook and in the world media.
Thai police: If black clothed men existed, they were part of the protesters, brought in to kill the police.
The
Government's security adviser, Chalerm Yoobamlung: The black
clothed men were the protesters brought up to the Labor's Ministry's
rooftop by helicopters.
Later, Thai police
chief: Yes, the black clothed men existed at the site, there were
only 10 of them, they were there to observe the situation and to fire
tear gas, they were unarmed otherwise.
Late,
Thai police spokesman, showing mis-scaled 3-dimension maps: The
police attired in black on the rooftop were had no angles to fire at the
killed persons. (But he shrunken his illustration to conceal the
actual distance of over 100 m between the buildings.
Most
of the hundreds of journalists and photographers in the areas were
positioned on the side of the protesters as they were not allow accesses
on the police's side. However, there had been absolutely no
reports of the sighting of any protesters carrying or using any kind of
guns at all.
From all evidence collected,
considering the motivation, capacity and opportunities to commit the
crime of shooting the policemen and the protesters with live ammunition,
I can only conclude that, since there has been no reports or proofs
from any sources whatsoever that any protesters carried or used any guns
on that day at that site while ample evidence showed Thai policemen and
the black clothed men carried and used guns and had live ammunition
delivered and stored at the site, it is only reasonable to say that only
the policemen and the black clothed men can be the persons who fired at
both the policemen and the protesters.
Since
the black clothed men did exist and were positioned in the vantage point
on the rooftop and were mixed in among the policemen when brutal
assaults were carried out against the people. And, along with the
later admission by police spokesman and police chief, it proves that the
black clothed men was brought in by the police with the intention to
gain advantages for their campaigns against the protesters. There
had, thus far been no reasonable explanation as to the reason that the
black clothed men should attire in black, if they were regular Thai
policemen carrying out normal police duties. It goes to the weight
of proving the ill intents of the police or Thai government in bringing
in these black clothed men.
Considering Thai
police leadership's past records, it is very convincing that they have
brought in the black clothed killers to fire at Thai police to create
angers among Thai police, while at the same time force the police, who
might fear of being shot by the black clothed men, to do as the police
boss and the government ordered, that is to terrorize the protesters
with deaths and injuries.
In my brief review of
history, only the very damned corrupted, sinister government could have
come up with such dirty tricks and still trying to depend on such
terrrible lies.
