Network Of Reformists To Tell Government People To Stop Telling Lies

[Flashermac]

Everyday’s lies by politicians are the main subject of the second open letter to be submitted to caretaker Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and the presidents of the Supreme Court and the Parliament by network of people working on national reform led by Thirayuth Boonmee.

 

The open letter, the second by the network, contains a list of lies made by politicians of the government camp and senior bureaucrats, starting from the infamous “white†lies by Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Kittirat Na-Ranong.

 

The lies include:

 

- the fabrication of government-to-government rice deals between Thailand and China;

 

- the unfounded accusation that the protesting farmers are fake;

 

- the lie that the “men in black†seen on the top of the Labour Ministry during clashes between police and protesters in front of Thai-Japan stadium on January 26 are not policemen;

 

- the DSI’s lie that the video clip about policemen raiding the house of a protest leader Sonthiyan Chuenruthainaitham was doctored.

Note: Thirauth Boonmee is well known for leading the student protests against the military "Gang of Three" in October 1973, as well as for taking part in the October 1976 protests that led to the Thammasat Massacre of 6 October '76. He fled to the jungle for safety with the communists, but when amnesty was offered he returned and went to study in the USA. I think he is retired now from teaching at Thammasat.

 

Ironic that such an historical figure as Thirayuth is so outspoken against this "populist" government.
