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.
