US Will Seek to Meddle in Thai Constitutional Referendum

March 13, 2021 (Brian Berletic - LD) - US government meddling around the globe isn't aimed only at elections and regime change, but also at the legal processes within any given targeted nation - including referendums for things up to and including constitutional changes. 

Thailand’s constitution will require 2 public referendums before being amended. This process is a matter of Thailand’s internal political affairs - but as in previous elections and regarding petitions to have the constitution rewritten in the first place - the US government and other Western special interests seek to influence and interfere in this strictly internal matter.

US government-funded fronts - through the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) - need to be watched carefully as Thailand prepares for these referendums while raising public awareness of this interference is essential in giving the Thai government the leverage it will need to effectively deal with it.

Breaking 112 is NOT a “Word Crime”

March 10, 2021 (Brian Berletic - LD) - Thailand’s article 112 is an anti-defamation law that protects Thailand’s head of state - the Thai King - from criminal defamation. Thailand, in fact, has anti-defamation laws that protect all Thais from criminal defamation - not just the Thai King.

The opposition claims that breaking 112 is merely a “word crime” and should not carry such a heavy sentence. I explain how the opposition’s violation of 112 through baseless accusations aimed at the Thai King is aimed at inciting anger, street mobs, and even violence - and like yelling “fire” in a crowded theater when there is no fire - is not free speech and is not a “word crime,” but a very serious, real crime that is demonstrably causing division and damage in the streets.

How Bad Does the Western Media Lie?

March 10, 2021 (Brian Berletic - LD) - The Thai Prime Minister recently joked with journalists - but through creative editing - the Western media was able to portray it as an "attack" all as part of a "bid to dodge some tough questions."

I show the original clip, the edited version the West presented to the public, and the danger of nations like Thailand not having English-language media to present their side of stories to international audiences to check and balance Western disinformation.

The Secret Behind Thailand’s Anti-112 Protests

March 6, 2021 (Brian Berletic - LD) - Thai protesters and their Western backers claim their opposition to Thailand’s Article 112 - an anti-defamation law that protects the Thai head of state - is based on “free speech” and “human rights” concerns. 

In reality this opposition to article 112 is rooted in the West’s desire to remove Thailand’s source of unity and sovereignty as part of a wider regime change agenda against Thailand, and a region-wide reordering aimed at isolating China.

How & Why the Western Media Lies about Thai Protests

March 6, 2021 (Brian Berletic - LD) - Reuters regularly distorts the events surrounding US-backed opposition protests in Thailand. 

Far from simply being because Reuters is “Western media,” it is now confirmed that Reuters has recently worked with Western governments to carry out intelligence operations to interfere in the political affairs of nations abroad under the guise of “journalism.”

Violent US-backed Hong Kong-Style Mobs in Thailand Continue

March 1, 2021 (Brian Berletic - LD) - US-backed anti-government protesters in Thailand have once again "rebranded" to shake off the image of an unpopular, violent mob only to stage a poorly attended, extremely violent protest as their first "rally." 

I explain how this is part of a wider US plan to create a  regional crisis to deny China Southeast Asia as a viable economic, military, and political partner and how US-funded Thai opposition groups are working with US-funded protesters in Myanmar.

US NED 2021 - Thailand: More Money, More Sedition

February 28, 2021 (Brian Berletic - LD) - The US National Endowment for Democracy (NED) has updated its list for programs, organizations, and companies that it is funding in Thailand to interfere in Thailand's internal political affairs. This includes US government funding for companies that interfered in Thailand's 2019 general election. 

I explain how the NED's board of directors is made up of people who promote wars and regime change merely behind the smokescreen of "promoting democracy" and "freedom." I show which fronts the US has increased funding for as well as new fronts the US is now funding inside of Thailand. 

I also show how the US NED through programs and companies that it funded interfered in Thailand's 2019 general election on behalf of the US-backed billionaire opposition leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit and his "Future Forward Party."

Thailand to Regulate Abusive Foreign-Funded NGOs

February 28, 2021 (Brian Berletic - LD) - US government-funded fronts posing as NGOs in Thailand have long undermined the image and role of legitimate nongovernmental organizations.   

New legislation has been proposed in Thailand to create more transparency regarding the foreign funding of NGOs in Thailand and to regulate their activities to ensure they fall within the real of non-profit organizations working for the public benefit rather than abusive fronts merely posing as such.

BBC, Reuters Caught Running Secret IO

February 23, 2021 (Brian Berletic - LD) - Leaked documents reveal the BBC and Reuters received secret British government contracts to interfere politically both inside Russia and in nations along Russia’s borders. It is a documented case in reality of everything (and worse) the West has accused Russia of doing in unfounded fiction.

I explain how media organizations like the BBC and Reuters serve more as extensions of Western intelligence services - using journalism as a cover and how they constitute a national security threat to every nation they operate in around the globe.

How China Dealt with Clubhouse

February 23, 2021 (Brian Berletic - LD) - Clubhouse is yet another Western social media platform being adopted by Western-backed opposition groups around the globe to help spread lies and destabilize their respective nations.

China has swiftly removed it from their information space. I explain why other nations should think about following suit.

Thai Billionaire-led Opposition Behind “Student” Mob

February 21, 2021 (Brian Berletic - LD) - The US-backed billionaire-led opposition party Future Forward (now known as Move Forward and Progressive Movement parties) has always been behind the supposedly “student-led” anti-government protests. 

They had been hiding behind them - but today they’ve come out openly to support them. 

I explain how whatever escalation the opposition has planned is ultimately the work of this opposition party and their foreign sponsors - particularly the US government and the US-funded fronts operating in Thailand (Prachatai, Thai Lawyers for Human Rights, iLaw, Human Rights Lawyers Association, and more).

The Royal Thai Police: What They’re Protecting Thailand From

February 17, 2021 (Brian Berletic - LD) - I explain the very real danger the Royal Thai Police are protecting the Kingdom of Thailand from, and why I appreciate the work they do on a daily basis - standing between the country and the chaos foreign-backed mobs seek to drown it in.

The Danger of Political "Medics"

February 15, 2021 (Brian Berletic - LD) - A common feature of US-backed regime change is the creation and use of "medical" organizations that augment violent protesters and use their uniforms, vehicles, and facilities as a form of cover for subversion and sedition. 

This is of course a breach of the principle of medical neutrality and a crime under the Geneva Conventions. 

In the video above, I introduce the Thai-based "Doctors and Nurse Associate" which claims to be  a medical volunteer organization and is frequently spotted at US-backed anti-government protests in Thailand. One of their medics was allegedly chased down, subdued, and arrested by Thai police. 

A visit to their social media accounts reveals a very overt political agenda - often retweeting US government funded-fronts like iLaw, Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR), Prachatai, as well as fake human rights groups like Human Rights Watch.

They are using their work as medics as a means to both promote anti-government protests in Thailand, and as a means to augment and provide cover for anti-government activities. 

This should be particularly troubling for those who remember the use and abuse of medical uniforms during other US-backed regime change operations including recently in Hong Kong and during the proxy war in Syria where the notorious "White Helmets" were all but Al Qaeda terrorists dressed as medics and rescue workers and carrying out war propaganda.

Thailand: Move Forward's Hypocrisy

February 15, 2021 (Brian Berletic - LD) - I explain how the US-backed billionaire-led opposition Move Forward Party in Thailand is trying to rewrite Thai laws not to make society fair - but to make it legal to attack and destroy Thailand’s existing institutions. 

I also show how - at the same time - they use defamation laws to intimidate and threaten their own critics and how this “anti-dictatorship” movement is itself a dictatorship in the making.

Why the US Will Continue to Meddle in Thailand...

January 31, 2021 (Brian Berletic - LD) - I explain why US foreign policy never changes regardless of who is in the White House - how corporate-funded think tanks actually produce US foreign policy and how Washington merely rubber-stamps it.

I also explain steps nations like Thailand can take to protect themselves from constant US interference in their internal political affairs.

Reuters vs. Thailand: Why Does the Western Media Always Lie?

January 29, 2021 (Brian Berletic - LD) - Why does Reuters and other Western media corporations consistently attack Thailand and repeat easily debunked lies while deliberately leaving out essential context? 

I explain how Reuters is simply a media organization owed by special interests interested in manipulating public perception to suit their own business interests around the globe.

Thai Protests Aimed at Thai-Chinese Relations

January 29, 2021 (Brian Berletic - NEO) - Thailand has for months faced anti-government protests. While portrayed by the Western media as organic, self-organized, and "pro-democratic," US government-funding and the protest leaders themselves openly aligning with US-funded opposition groups in Hong Kong and Taiwan have revealed the ongoing unrest as aimed at China.

The US seeks to complicate Thai-Chinese relations and either replace the current government with one willing to pivot the nation toward Washington, or sufficiently destabilize the nation and deprive China of a constructive regional partner. 

Thailand Today is not the Thailand of Cold War Past 

Despite persistent Cold War rhetoric about Thailand's "major non-NATO ally" status with the US - Thailand today has shifted (with much of the world) eastward with its major economic, political, and even military ties now residing squarely in Asia. 

Today's Thailand counts China as its largest trading partner with 12.29% of its exports going to China versus 10.75% to the US. The rest of Thailand's major export partners all reside in Asia. 

20.16% of Thailand's imports come from China versus 5.82% from the US. Again - the vast majority of Thailand's other major import partners reside in Asia. 

China is also Thailand's largest foreign investor providing over 13 times more direct foreign investment than the United States. 

Thailand's tourism industry has expanded drastically owed to the huge influx of visitors from China pre-COVID-19. In fact, annually, more tourists arrive from China in Thailand than from all Western nations combined. 

There are also major infrastructure projects China and Thailand are currently involved in including the rollout of Thailand's 5G networks and a high-speed railway that will ultimately connect Thailand to China via Laos. The completion of this project will allow the movement of people and goods more directly to and from China not only into Laos and Thailand but into the rest of Southeast Asia and will fuel further growth for the region. 

Then there are Thailand and China's military relationship. Thailand has begun replacing its aging US military hardware with newer Chinese defense systems ranging from main battle tanks and armored personnel carriers to naval vessels including Thailand's first modern diesel electric submarines. There are also joint-weapon programs including the DTI-1 guided missile system. 

US-Funded Destabilization Targets Thai-Chinese Relations 

Considering these economic, financial, and military ties there is little mystery as to why Washington would seek to reverse them. 

US-backed Billionaire Hides Behind Class Warfare Rhetoric

January 26, 2021 (Brian Berletic - LD) - I have been often asked what's behind the logo of the US-backed billionaire opposition party Future Forward's orange upside-down triangle logo. While some have tried to link it to the "Illuminati" the truth is actually much more interesting and revealing. 

The upside triangle is meant to represent the upending of social hierarchy and in particular - the removal of Thailand's constitutional monarchy.  

But as I explain - the US-backed opposition party and its leader's family business - Thai Summit - are themselves organized as a pyramidal hierarchy - serving as their own source of wealth and power as well as their own means to lure in and exploit ordinary people below them. In essence they hiding behind class warfare rhetoric to lure ordinary people in to do their bidding with no real intention of creating the social equality they claim doesn't exist in Thailand and that they promise followers at protests and at the polls.

VIDEOS: US-backed Opposition Opposes Cheap Drugs for Thais

Is it just a coincidence that Thailand's political opposition receives funding and backing from the US and just so happens to be promoting an agenda eagerly pursued by US-based pharmaceutical giants against Thailand for years? 

January 26, 2021 (Brian Berletic - LD) - US-backed opposition leader and billionaire Thanathorn has attacked the Thai government's response to COVID-19 and its hesitation to rush into a vaccine campaign.

He also attacked Siam Bioscience - a Thai pharmaceutical production enterprise set up by Thailand's Royal Family and in cooperation with Cuba's Center of Molecular Immunology - for not being profitable - despite its mission statement being to make affordable medication available to the Thai people - not to make huge profits. I explain how despite the Western media claiming Thanathorn is the "Billionaire Commoner," he is actually an out-of-touch billionaire trying to rush Thailand into buying up untested and potentially dangerous vaccines from Western pharmaceutical giants like Pfizer and Moderna.

The US-backed opposition is also pressuring the government to rush into a vaccination program and lying about the costs of AstraZeneca’s vaccines and about the nature of the deal made with the Thai government for vaccines, technology transfers, and the manufacturing of vaccines in Thailand.

And while Thanathorn attempts to distance himself from (or hide behind) the increasingly violent and unpopular anti-government mobs in the streets - these same mobs are helping carry out his attack on Siam Bioscience.

I explain why the opposition's US government funding is directly related to its attempts to attack and undermine Thailand's attempts to establish pharmaceutical self-sufficiency.
