Birds of a Feather?

The friendship links that exist between Spain's increasingly dictatorial royal family and Thailand's disgraced super rich Chakris, are not the only thing which bind these two archaic institutions together.

It seems Spain's King Juan Carlos has a lot more characteristics in common with Thailand's meddling monarch than people suspect. However, just as in Thailand, few Spaniards openly speak about King Juan Carlos' dirty secrets in public for fear of being slapped with a lese majeste charge.

In fact, the contents of this video may well herald the end of the period of self-censorship and intimidation in Spain, which has hung in the air like the smell of stale kippers since the bad old days of Dictator General Franco.

The reason? A song entitled "A Real (Royal) Story" which has just earned a Spanish punk rock band called Ardor Destómago a lese majeste charge, and as in Thailand, the issue of freedom of speech is now on everyone's lips.



Hardly any foreigners, even those in Spain or those married to Spaniards, ever get to hear about the royal Borbón scandals. This song could well change all that. Listen to the song and read the lyrics and you'll understand why:


A Real (Royal) History

Who is the one who killed his own brother with a hunting shotgun?
Who fired the shot in unclear circumstances?
Who was named successor by a disgusting dictator?
Who was the white elephant?
Who got on well with Franco?

The son of a bitch King Juan Carlos
The son of a bastard king
The son of a bitch Juan Carlos. The son of a bastard king

Who was given yachts by bankers and businessmen?
Who is above the law and pretends to be open?
Who censors thorny issues?
Who rubs shoulders with gangsters?
Who spoke badly of Adolfo Suárez in front of the army?

The son of a bitch King Juan Carlos
The son of a bastard king
The son of a bitch Juan Carlos. The son of a bastard king

Who encouraged Tejero and the armada to rise?
leaving them high and dry?
Who appeared later on television as the leader of the resistance?
Who has his back covered by State secrets?
Who has arse-lickers stuck to him like limpets?
Following him everywhere?


Thais reading the lyrics of this song would be forgiven for thinking that it referred to King Bhumibol, but amazingly the song refers to King Juan Carlos. Yes, the Spanish king also enjoys boating, and he killed his own brother.

Incidently, the final paragraph of the song is especially "thorny". It suggests that King Juan Carlos , not Coronel Tejero, organised the army coup in 1981 (see youtube for videos of this event). Adolfo Suárez was Spain's first ever democratically elected PM after Franco's 40 year dictatorship. The song suggests Adolfo was undermined by the king. Does any of this ring a bell?

Look at the record sleeve. It shows dictator Franco saluting the crowds from a balcony, with his chosen successor Juan Carlos standing alongside. Would it be too far fetched to say that King Juan Carlos and King Bhumibol are soul mates?

Certainly, the similarities between these too aging monarchs is frighteningly similar. But like his Thai "amigo", Juan Carlos should think twice before using Spain's lese majeste law (Article 490 of the criminal code) to silence his critics.

Bhumibol cockroach on 2 feet ภูมิพลอดุลยเดช

An extremely curious video that has already appeared in several Youtube channels, then promptly disappeared again. This particular version can be seen in Ramboisan4lek where you'll find a strange mix of videos that seem to have nothing in common.

Bhumibol Cockroach on 2 feet starts off as a music video in which the Thai king appears as a cockroach in thigh length pink boots dancing alongside Abhisit Vejjajiva, Thailand's former Prime Minister.

Funnily enough, just a few weeks ago Thais were being asked not to refer to Abhisit as a "cockroach" because it "de-humanised" the man who gave the Thai army the order to kill 90 unarmed Thai civilians in 2010. This video is the response to those calls.

Towards the end, the video turns into a strange "ad" for a cockroach pest killer with references to toilets and toilet sounds to match. Bhumibol Cockroach on 2 feet won't leave you indifferent. Well worth watching and bizarrely funny.

Srirasmi Push it

Without doubt the most viewed Srirasmi porn video on the internet, with more than 66,000 views already clocked up. And still as popular as ever with Srirasmi porn fans!

This little beauty is not technically a "video" as such, but rather what some would call a "slide show" made up of still photographs sequenced together with background music.

I have it on good authority that the background track "Push it" was a huge hit in the British charts for a female duo called "Salt `n´ Pepper, and it's certainly spicy!

The naked girl who appears in the video in provocative sexual poses is of course Srirasmi, the future queen of Thailand. And that the photographs are genuine is beyond doubt.

This particular set of sexy snaps are rumoured to come from a German magazine, though they also popped up at one point on another slide show in a website called NorporchorUSA.

Srirasmi is officially married to Thailand's Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, a gigolo playboy prince who is known to live in Germany with one of his many Thai girlfriends.

Is it just coincidence that both the pervert prince and his steamy photographs are linked to Germany? Or it confirmation that the Crown Prince himself released the photographs on the internet.

Certainly, some would say it's odd that so many photographs of Vajiralongkorn's ex-wives and girlfriends have found their way onto the net, without the prince's involvement.

Conor Purcell and Jeff Savage Beaten and Humiliated

This is perhaps the one video Thai authorities least want foreigners to watch. It shows just how cruel Abhisit Vejjajiva's military backed regime can be towards prisoners from other nations.

So what "crimes" did these men commit? One, Conor David Purcell, made a speech in which he criticised the Thai army and the illegitimate regime which it controls. No hate speech, just strong words which were applauded by Red shirts.

The other so-called "terrorist", Jeff Savage, made a stupid comment in a Youtube video in which he said it was his intention to "burn down" king Bhumibol's Centre World shopping centre. Something which is completely impossible for one man with a box of matches to do. Ask any incendiary expert.

Knowing these facts, and the brutal treament these men are being subjected to, one wonders if the illegitimate government of Thailand has ever heard of "human rights". Certainly, British man Jeff Savage was showing clear signs of shell shock at the time he made his threat.

Both Conor Purcell and Jeff Savage were under terrible stress during the Red Shirt protests and subsequent military crackdown, in which army snipers deliberately targeted foreign journalists. They are not criminals. Thai authorities have no right to beat and humiliate these men.

Eric Campbell "Long Live the King!"

Recently an ABC documentary called "Long Live the King" caused a serious political rift between the Thai government and Australia. And it's no wonder! Watch this video by pantarman4ever and listen to what Eric Campbell says.

It seems it's not Thailand's "Reds" who are undermining the Thai Crown Prince, Maha Vajiralongkorn, but the Royalists themselves! According to Eric Campbell Thai royalists see little chance of holding on to their power base with the Crown Prince as king.

And it makes sense. Why for example, hasn't Bhumibol Adulyadej named a successor? King Bhumibol's son Prince Vajiralongkorn, is only "the heir apparent" and not "the heir" to the Thai crown. The reality is that no-one really wants this peculiar man and his ex-porn star wife to be king and queen.

Unfortunately, with Thailand's lese majeste law still strictly enforced, an open debate in Thai society on the matter is highly unlikely, even if it tears the country apart as it seems to be doing.

Akbar Khan: King of Lese Majeste

Meet Akbar Khan, the DSI's useful idiot who is fast becoming the biggest joke in Thailand. Not content with bringing lese majeste charges against the entire board of the Foreign Correspondents Club of Thailand (FCCT), Akbar now wants to bring charges against Frank Anderson, editor of the Korat Post.

So what is it with this chi chi snitch? Well, it seems that Akbar has an identity crisis brought on by his "love" of Thailand's ape king: Bhumibol Adulyadej. To the point where this wannabe Thai forgets that he is in fact, of Pakistani origin.

And just to prove that he loves old whiskey breath more than any "other" Thai, Akbar spends his sad little life on Youtube, posting rude messages in defence of the Thai king. Such is his obssession with defending Lek, that he was even sacked from his job at the Phuket Gazette for his lack of productivity.

Ever since then, Akbar has been a man on a mission. His obssession with being rejected by fellow journalists has developed into a huge personal grudge against foreign journalists living in Thailand, whom Akbar believes are all republicans riddled with unpure lese majeste thoughts.

We sincerely hope Akbar gets over his present emotional difficulties. Meanwhile, if you would like to find out more about this effeminate sounding loser, check out this website: http://www.whoisakbarkhaninbangkok.blogspot.com/
