The Network of Volunteer Citizens to Protect the Monarchy on Facebook has met the DSI Director, and provided a video clip of Tom Dundee speaking at a red-shirt rally, which they say constitutes lèse majesté.

On 30 Aug, Boworn Yasintorn, President of the Network of Volunteer Citizens to Protect the Monarchy on Facebook met Tharit Pengdit, Director-General of the Department for Special Investigation (DSI), urging him to prosecute singer and actor Tom Dundee for his public speech at a red-shirt rally in Ratchaburi province on 8 Aug 2010.

Boworn said that Tom’s speech constituted lèse majesté and treason under Sections 112 and 116 of the Criminal Code.

The group submitted as evidence a clip of Tom Dundee’s speech which had been posted on the Youtube website.

They also asked the DSI to prosecute those who had disseminated the clip.

Tharit told them that the DSI would accept the case and investigate whether this can be construed as a conspiracy or not. 

The information will be added to the database of the DSI team investigating the plot to overthrow the monarchy, Tharit said.

The clip on Youtube has been removed.

Right wing putsches cover the same ground...

The Schutzstaffel (German pronunciation: [ˈʃʊtsʃtafəl] ( listen), Protection Squadron), abbreviated SS—or Runic SS with stylized "Armanen" Sig runes —was a major Nazi organization under Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party. Built upon the Nazi ideology, the SS, under Heinrich Himmler's command, was responsible for many of the crimes against humanity perpetrated by the Nazis during World War II, and most of the particularly egregious ones.

The SS was formed in 1925 as a personal guard unit for Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, ("Die Schutz-Staffel der NSDAP" [Shield Squadron of the NSDAP]). Under the leadership of Heinrich Himmler between 1929 and 1945, the SS grew from a small paramilitary formation to become one of the largest and most powerful organizations in Nazi Germany. It was composed of police, security, paramilitary and military branches.

The ironic point is Buddhism

The ironic point is Buddhism implores practitioners to speak the truth and the King is the sworn defender of Buddhism, in Thailand.
Why good hearted and good thinking Thais, who are trying to get rid of the political gangs that run the Kingdom, do not use the defense of 'freedom of religion' and sue for 'religious persecution' when falsely accused of lese majesty is beyond me.!!!???
Awhile back the Institution actually ordered people to stop falsely accusing people of lese majesty, but it shows how much these ANTIfree speechers, anti Buddhists, pro corruptionists care about the King when they won't even listen to His wishes.
They care more about bribery and insider trading than Anything else.
They use the King to stop the good Buddhists who want to TRANSform Thailand into a Kingdom the King would be proud of.
STOP religious persecution, allow TRUTH as taught by Buddha.
Stop jailing people in the name of the King!!!

There seems to be a new

There seems to be a new category of crime being invented by Suthep and co.

It's not actual lese majeste but "bordering on lese majeste", whatever that could mean.

Perhaps, having the wrong thoughts and giving some tiny hint as to what they might be.
