Treason and Madness

The treasonous party-politicians are talking, shouting, as to convince each other the 'Republic' is a done thing! Can't help it, going back to my elephantine memory, but there was time in Nepal when such expressions (bah - foaming at the mouth sounds better!) were qualified as TREASON and Lese Majesty (from the Latin Laesa maiestatis, injury to the Majesty).

But since that Ratna Park Intifada, (the one-two thousand of old-faithful, obstructing traffic and burning effigies of what the press "tactfuly" called "regression"), both MK Nepal and his buddy the O3 talked each other into courage to see who can say more stupid, injurious thing about Monarchy! And I say Monarchy, not King, for that is the target, that is the one thing they in their stewardship of the country past 16 years (OK OK, they've been out of power for like 3 years, but they still bear respopnsibility for the stalemate!) didn't taint or destroy...

Now that the RNA has quadrupled it's strength, and the Maobadi are loath of another 10 years in the Siliguri's fine Guest Houses (oops! I mean jungle...) and getting their butts kicked by the villagers and their "fine" command structure disintegrates into dacoits bands:
So the 7 dwarfs in their last desperate, DISHONEST lounge for power ... they allied themselves with the DEVIL.
It seems they (MKN & O3) didn't study the history of United Fronts in Eastern Europe after the WWII ! In every case, from Czechoslovakia down to Bulgaria, the "real" communists went for the power and won in few months TOTAL POWER. For four decades!
And if the Maobadis, Shiva forbid!, succeed here, they will be among the first on scaffolds and in reeducation camps: No one was more persecuted by Lenin then the poor, misguided "ESSER's" [Social Revolutionaries] - a decade after the 1917 revolution hardly one of them was still alive! - that was Lenin/Stalin's gratitude towards the party who helped them to TOTAL POWER!
Yes, study history, comrades!
So back to my main question - why are these guys and the assorted "Human Rights activists" not charged wtih Lese Majesty.?
After the student uprising in Bangkok in 1991 I personally witnessed different respect for the Monarchy... and it cost around 400 dead and there was no foreign crying about Human Rights: No, you injure the King, you die!
