Thai Protests: Dangerous “Arab Spring” Redux

We’re told that the US government is not funding or supporting anti-government protests in Thailand, but have already seen that this is a lie. The US Embassy also denied supporting any specific party – also a lie. In the case of US-funded Prachatai – the US government is doing both.

One thought on “Thai Protests: Dangerous “Arab Spring” Redux

  • Christopher Stegman

    How about the Monarchy’s debauchery with his 20 consorts (mistresses)? And the Military’s appointed senate and rigged elections favoring the dictators? And the murders and disapperances of protest leaders? But it’s ‘wrong’ for the student/youth led protests to accept help from outside supporters. Certainly Trump is not supporting the protesters. Nor is the NED unless independently from the Trump admins repressive and dictatorial policies that favor the rich and powerful over the average citizen (despite the false propaganda spewed by this narcissist in chief to fool his followers)
