The Battle for Thailand as translated by Lance Wilson on behalf of Ace Preston...

Due to the tragic events of 10 Apr 10 Ace Preston refuses to release disturbing photos to the general public from the actual Battle for Bangkok in respect to all killed and their family members..

He will instead release these wonderful pictures taken of the Songkran Festival for the Thai New Year.

These photos display the kind and gentle people of Thailand and their neighbors from Laos and their beautiful children celebrating their New Year with water guns, buckets, and pails of water instead of bullets and grenades..

These photos were taken by Ace Preston @ Chunburi 13 Apr 10, Udon Thani 14 Apr 10, and Nong Kai & Vientiene Laos 15 Apr 10...

With sectors such as Chiang Mai, Udon Thani etc..secured by the Red Shirts as well as Vientiene Laos support for Red Shirts, AP returns to Bangkok and bids farewell to all his friends and comrades as the final "Battle for Thailand" is about to conclude..government forces this time will no longer hold back and tolerate civil disobedience..tomorrow is the last day for the Songkron Festival.. the final celebration of the Thai New Year..

AP will be there again..standing front and center with the red shirts..one last time

For AP this will his final photo documentation of the battle by man against machine...

I don't believe anybody will win..

A Poem by Ace Preston... "THe BaTTle 4 THaiLanD"

In the "Battle for Bangkok" Ace Preston was there and everywhere.. "Killer Angels" was required reading at I.O.B.C..

Fight the american wars yourself.. liberal couch potatoes...communist/democratic points of view as freedoms are taken away one by one.

145 years slowly but now rapidly disappears off the face of the earth.. since 1865..then 1945..

Mr. Japanese Cameraman recording others misfortunes..the elite secret sector Black Shirt members of the Red Shirts makes sure he selfishly pays for it..

AP would never record such documents to the public.. he is so limited.. the coward he is.. respect the living.. their family members.. Mr. Japanese Camera Guy.. Bushido? typical wanna-be.. some type of artist/crusader? Neither... errand boy sent by the grocery store to collect the check just like Burma. These people never learn.

Don't fight the insurrection..transform.. you get the best results as a photographer..

If you want a social revolution do not stand with robotic mindless army.. members dress the same.. follow orders simultaneously.

their actions are so predictable.. there is nothing to explore.. neat weapons. Just remember you are never safe.

You want the truth.. stand at the opposite end but you must be willing to face the brave rifles yourself with the common people. This is not America anymore. Not England.. Not Germany.. Not France..

"A P is not to leave the country alive with camera!" Haa.. I've heard that before.. like Photographer Alfred Eisenstadt photographing Joseph Goebbels at the League of Nations in Geneva 1933 Eisenstadt replied when Goebbels scowled for the photograph when he learned that Eisenstaedt was Jewish that "When I have a camera in my hand, I know no fear."

Thai/Cambodian border in time.. safety in jungle with khmer rouge comrades as AP only foreigner permitted within the inner circle of mankind's greatest tragedy. AP only wears black shirts.

While in Cambodia pay respect to "Brother One" in Anlong Veng.. make pilgrimage to Center of Universe.. Angkor Wat...

On the 3rd day rise again in praise of mortal men.. enlightened once more by the Holy Ghost.. return to Thailand.. second assault known as the "Battle for Thailand" on the holiest day of the year..April 13 known as Black 13 (The Return of the Knights Templars) start of Thai New Year when it ends.

Ace Preston photographs.. Lance Parkertip incognito fulfills the scriptures.

Bucker Head was there also.. and Red Ruby Rover Rangers, Groovy Turn Side Floozies, agnostics running to the front, remnants from the Viet Nam War, and the Ghost of Che Guevara rose once more like always.

Simple people want simple lives..their minds aren't set like the Oxford establishment... leave nature alone..Harvard, Yale, Columbia, NYU are all the same..

..good people deserve a good government.. April 10, 2010 some had to die to do it.

There is no such thing as a foreigner..every man's death demises those who are a part of mankind..

I am the Red Right Hand..my left is Black..

no one here gets out alive..the black hand can reach anywhere..anytime.. you better learn this fast.. after this I am coming back for you..

My real name is Charlie Chan but my friends call me Clink Clank... I drive a chinese tank..

Buddhist Monk to AP as translated by Captain Camera on 13 Apr 10 Anlong Veng Cambodia

Monk to AP: "I will ask you only one time..the enemy approaches you.. You come across a mine field you need to cross by foot to escape..

Would you prefer a detailed map which shows exactly where each of the 100 mines are located or would you prefer no map and a mine field which contains only one mine."

AP "I prefer 100 mines and no map. I don't trust the map. I flank the enemy. Ambush."
