"Red-shirt leaders had their blood pulled out Tuesday morning in the campaign for protesters to pool their blood for pouring in front of the Government House. Veera Musigapong was the first red-shirt leader to give his blood at 8:25 am. He was followed by Jatuporn Promphan, and then Natthawut Saikua. They were followed by Weng Tojitrakarn, Adisorn Piengket, and Karun Hosakul.

Their bloods were emptied from syringes into a bin, which was by half with a solution. The red-shirt leaders said the solution was chemical for preventing the blood from hardening.

Jatuporn said the pooled blood of the red-shirt people would be poured onto the ground in front of Government House before dusk."

The whole thing sounds rather bizarre to me, not to mention the public health considerations of spreading blood around that might be contaminated with all sorts of parasites and/or viruses. This is a very superstitious society and I'm guessing that may be what this is really about: Thai voodoo.

[attachmentid=730]"Red-shirt protesters splashed blood in front of the entrance to Government House late Tuesday afternoon, in a brahman-like ritual aimed at toppling the government.The UDD leaders negotiated with Metropolitan Police chief Wichai Sangprapai after authorities refused to allow them through.

After talks, 100 red-shirts led by opposition Puea Thai Party MP Jatuporn and a white-robed priest were allowed through the police cordon. The man dressed as a Hindu priest, who carried a Buddhist statue with him, performed a ritual before protesters poured the donated blood around the front gate.

Medical and Bangkok Metropolitan Administration personnel immediately cleansed the area and used chlorox to disinfect the blood stained road after the ritual was performed.There was no trouble and the red-shirts later returned to the main protest venue at Phan Fa bridge."

quote from a moderator from another gay forum:

I don't give a dam what ever happens with the Thai people or with Thailand.
The only thing I hope is a higher exchange rate for the dollar ( versus Thai bath)

Hard to believe. WHO and where ?

Sorry Kirkland, I am not going to give you the name of the mod and I do not like to give you a link to this quote.
But as I understand there are some posters on some other gay forums who really do not care if there is blood on the streets.
They just care about themselves and do hope that the Thai society collapse/ go into war so they get more for their dollar so that gives them more fuck for a less amount of dollars.
Is this a typical American way of thinking ?

No. It's not.

I think this is the post that Lasalle is talking about. It was made by GayButton in his running commentaries on the "Bullshit" he's been calling the Red Shirt demonstrations:

"I'd like nothing better than to see some major happenings on Saturday and Sunday. You know why? Selfish as this may seem, my sole interest in any of this nonsense is how it might affect the exchange rates."

I think G.B.is nuts. I wouldn't like to be friends with somebody who makes statements like that.
Can you imagine having somebody like that as a MOD..poor Mister Gay-Thailand.

Hopefully cival war will come soon.
The exchange rate could be 100 baht for one dollar.
Would that be nice.
The Thai's killing each other ,but we can afford to drink water at "The Monto-Christo"

No matter how I feel about Thaksin personally, which isn't much, I have come to see the Red Shirt movement as a genuine grass-roots support for democratic reform to a very corrupt power structure. These people are simply demanding new elections, which is the ultimate test of any government's legitimacy. All they see is a prime minister who was put into power by a coup and back-room political deals that followed with with unelected power brokers and generals twisting arms along the way. How can anyone with any honest sense of democracy oppose elections under these circumstances ? Abhisit won't allow elections because he knows he will lose. That's democracy ???
