The Nation with the headline "Shopping malls beef up security in face of red menace". Last time, there was a red menace or red scare was as Wikipedia reports:

The Second Red Scare occurred after World War II (1939–45), coinciding with increased popular fear of communist espionage consequent to a Soviet Eastern Europe, the Berlin Blockade (1948–49), the Chinese Civil War, and the Korean War. The fear was provoked with red-baiting and blacklisting.

BP: Yes, McCarthyism in the US.

btw, any yellow menance headlines even after the PAD seized Government House and the airports?

Actually today's paper has a giant "Plea for peace" headline with text fitted inside a giant white dove and they turned the "o" in Nation into a pacifist sign.

Brilliant!!! And the (yellow) elitists who staged the biggest ever law-breaking actions in the country are still walking around free, down-the-nose-talking to "the serfdom", and driving through the city with their police escorts..... Tear down the wall!!!

BP,

Great parallelism McCarthy....

And yes, there are still ALL the yellow elitists walking around, getting their police escorts through BKK traffic, and generally "talking-down-the-nose" to the serfdom without a care in the world...

this is a great point, especially since the 'red zones' of combatting the 'external' communist threat of the 1970s generation have been reassigned to the 'internal' threat to the 'internal' core of Bangkok. The appearance of maps over the past few days, and the surrounding of the city by red dots, is astounding.

Was surprised BP missed the PAD claims of Red insurrection.

I nearly fell off my chair laughing...do they really think the average Thai can't remember what happened 18 months ago, and don't they realize that every time they say something they reinforce the double standard in the Legal system....I mean surely they can't be that dumb...surely?
