***Breaking News*** Martial Law Declared

Gen. Sondhi Boonyaratkalin has been declared as head of the coup. Though we stick to our previous post saying it is Prem. Prem is behind this.

On television we were all greeted by a spokesman who explained to us that the coup was required because Thailand has never had this level of uncertainty, and that this is why the country needs the military to take control. We are reminded that we still have a King.

Also a bit shockingly, on national TV a spokesman declared that all military personnel are required to report their movements and report to their heads. Then Marshal Law was declared across all of Thailand.

***12:45am***
A new announcement has said that the 1997 Constitution will be terminated. This means that all of the senators, cabinet, and constitutional court will be terminated. Nevertheless, the Privy Council will still have its powers (wow, what a coincidence, thats where Prem is!)
