August 28, 2020 (Tony Cartalucci - ATN) - Protesters scuffled today at Samran Rat police station in Bangkok where mob leaders were being held. The mobs dismantled barricades, pushed police, and threw objects at officers.
It should be recalled that many of the media organizations now downplaying this violence, had previously called merely vocally protesting their own staff "harassment" and insinuated that it promoted violence.
Consider the protests are ultimately backed by not only billionaire fugitive Thaksin Shinawatra who while in power from 2001-2006 killed thousands - and since fleeing the country has attempted to burn Bangkok down twice, once in 2009 and again in 2010 which also featured militants wielding war weapons - but also the United States who has destroyed nation after nation around the globe. That the current protests will resort to violence is only a matter of time.
Another billionaire sponsor of the protests - union-buster Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit - regularly salivates at the prospect of recreating the 1976 Thammasat incident in which students and soldiers fought, leaving 46 dead and many more injured.
In December 2019 he had vowed to put protesters into the streets - the very protesters now regularly rallying despite claims by the Western media and their local partners that the protests are "self-organized" and "organic."
With the US fully involved - funding virtually every aspect of the protests from its leader Anon Nampa and his "Thai Lawyers for Human Rights," to organizations like iLaw attempting to rewrite Thailand's constitution, to propaganda networks promoting the protests like Prachatai, to even organizations filling rallies with bodies like Assembly of the Poor - violence is all but guaranteed.
Similarly US-funded protests in Hong Kong led to violence, arson, and several deaths. US-backed protests in Venezuela and Ukraine were many times more vicious with the latter leading to internal war.
In 2011, when the US funded protests across North Africa and the Middle East in what is called the "Arab Spring," the nation of Libya was eventually completely destroyed, Syria nearly destroyed, and Yemen left amid a conflict the UN now calls "the world's worst humanitarian crisis."
The goal - of course - is to keep momentum building for the protests while hiding their sponsors and true agenda for as long as possible so that when violence finally breaks out few in the public both in Thailand and internationally will understand the context of the violence - giving the Western media the ability to shift all blame on government security forces - just as was done in 2009-2010 in Thailand and everywhere else the US has used this tactic.
In addition to the protesters themselves and violence they will inevitably carry out - the US and its proxies' use of "mystery gunmen" should be kept in mind.
In Thailand in 2010, these gunmen fired into riot troops and their own protesters on April 10 killing many including soldiers, protesters, and at least one journalist. The purpose of this violence was to prevent riot troops from peacefully dispersing crowds and ending the protests, and instead, escalate the conflict and maximize pressure on the government whom the violence would be blamed on with the help of a complicit Western media.
