"I've received the report of a coup from an army official who took part in the military crackdown on red-shirt protesters in April 2010, and it matches with another report from US intelligence," Mr Jatuporn said on Thursday.

Why so many people oppose Mr JP's claim, What if in april there is a coup and people die again. I am certain khun Yingluck will no servive a full term so be prepared because anything could happen.

englishbob - it doesn't work that way. When there's no coup in April Jatuporn will come out saying how great he is for stopping a coup from hapenning.

Jatuporns comments and planned actions are poison for any reconciliation and may create panic and mistrust amoung the population, especially the red shirts . Jataporn represents the PT party as an MP and is PT party member, therefore his actions are connected with the PT party. General Prayuth does not have to make any puplic statements as requested by Jatuporn.

If there is no coup in April, I want Jatuporn on TV making a public apology for this ridiculous farcical prediction.

My first impression was only a little mustache is missing. This guy is plain dangerous, he belongs in an asylum.
