"special cabinet meeting of 9 ministers"
And all 9 minsters are the best friends of the boss in Dubai.
What has this to do with democracy ? Right, nothing.
It is a dictatorship.

Wow, the gov is sure scared crazy about this rally.
It will be a very interesting and hopefully peaceful weekend.
At least, government can't claim anything to be 'A Third Hand' since they've prepared everything so well.
Would severely backfire imho.

Chalerm believes that the Pitak Siam are like the red shirts. By the way, the ISA did not prevent the red shirts to raid the hospital. Chalerm can rest assured that the Pitak Siam will not burn buildings in Bangkok.
