This is a good example of the Red Shirt publications of Somyot Prueksakasemsuk who was arrested at the Cambodian border on April 30.
Reporters Without Borders’ take on this: Lèse-majesté charge used to crackdown on opposition media
From Red Power, April, 2011
The headline reads: Purachai: the ruler for aristocrat – The strategy of switching legs to kick Thaksin
[Purachai was once Interior Minister and a key member of the Thaksin government at the time. His "social order" campaigns proved extremely popular with the public and had pundits speculating he might be a successor to Thaksin. However, like anyone who grew as popular as Thaksin, Purachai found himself forced into political retirement. This article also shows that the pro-Thaksin forces are well aware of the many options appearing that could mean the Peau Thai is excluded from the next government.]

The caption reads: King Tsar of Russia allowed the Russian soldiers to help neighbors suppress the people who called for freedom. A few years later, the King and his family was murdered after the Russian revolution. [This is typical of the threatening allusions of the Red Shirts.]

The caption reads: The multimillionaire King of Saudi Arabia said that the event that happened in Egypt was backed by the ill-willed troops of foreign countries, aimed at wreaking chaos in the Middle East. Recently, he dispatched the troops to Bahrain to help the King of Bahrain suppress the people who come out to call for freedom.

The headline reads: Nerawen, the Chief of Ghosts
["Nerawen" is a mocking of the name of Bhum Jai Thai Party leader Newin Chidchob. Again, this is typical of the increasing Red Shirt threats towards those who oppose Thaksin.]
From Red Power, April, 2011
The quote reads: I warn again if the election follows the rules, Thailand can move further, but if the coup takes place, beware of the destruction of the whole board.
[This is an idiom that means, like upsetting a chess board, complete destruction will occur.]
