Thai Politics: Analysis: “The Life Cycle of Thailand’s “Radical Reactionary” Yellow Shirts”

Abhisit supplying protesters to the radical Sondhi

About two months ago, suddenly, without warning, the satellite service that the Yellow Shirts ASTV of the Manager Media Group, was cut by the satellite service because ASTV did not pay the bills.

Sondhi, of the Yellow Shirts of Manager Media Group, immediately blasted away at his viewers, saying, quote: “The people who support me and watch my television, does not support me financially anymore.”

About two months later, ASTV, went back on air, bills paid.

  • It is a mystery, where did Sondhi came up with the money to pay ASTV bills, as his overall financial situation, can be seen by the Manager, being kicked out of the Thai stock market.

Now the Yellow Shirts of Sondhi, plans to hold a mass rally next Monday, to protest against Yingluck’s exploration into granting amnesty to Taksin, her brother.

Sondhi, was a bitter man for a very long time.

  • During the height of his power, 30,000 to 50,000 Thais protested with him. But then there was a break up with the Democrat Party, as some of Sondhi’s request to Abhisit was rejected by Abhisit. And after that, when ever he made calls for mass rally, like against Abhisit, only about 500 to a 1,000 Thais showed up.
  • Sondhi is bitter, because, one of his lieutenant, went on Spring News and spilled his guts, saying that Sondhi, has always had only a small core group of followers, but most of the rest, was actually supplied by the Democrat Party, to destabilized the many close to Taksin government out of power-by using Sondhi.

“I will never do Abhisit’s workings again,” said Sondhi, some six months ago.

Now the Democrat Party is hotly against Yingluck for the Taksin situation, and Sondhi is also hotly against Yingluck for the Taksin situation also.

Have the wounds between the Democrat Party of Abhisit and Sondhi healed?

Would Abhisit be busing in Democrat Party supporters to support Sondhi, as Abhisit had done in the past-but this time to destabilize Yingluck’s government?

One thing is for sure, mysterious money is now backing Sondhi again.
