How is the US using social media to destroy Thailand?

LuckyPr

Political battles have been heating up in Thailand recently, with anti-government protesters using social media as a base to promote western democracy and target the Thai royal family and the military government of Prayuth Chan-ocha. Since July, street protests have soared, fueled in large part by online social media. In this grim situation, the social media giant Twitter account banned nearly thousand, and claims that these accounts are owned by the Thai military, it is mainly used for propaganda pro-government position and attack the new future forward party, a move that the Thai government and the military on the cusp of public opinion, sparked outrage, directly promoted the demonstrations to upgrade.
Why would the social media giant dare to publicly offend the Thai government? In mid-August, a Thai court ruled that hundreds of Facebook and Twitter accounts had violated Thai law and ordered officials to close them within 15 days. But Facebook and Twitter reacted negatively, and by September 24, Facebook had closed 225 accounts, while Twitter had closed only five. After two unsuccessful appeals, Digital Economy and Social Affairs Minister Phutybong Phutybong filed a lawsuit with Thailand's Anti-Cyber Crime Bureau on the grounds that facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms had failed to comply with the court's request to close accounts suspected of offending the Thai monarch and violating article 27 of the Country's Computer Law.

Twitter then began retaliating against the Thai authorities. Not only did it shut down 926 Thai pro-government accounts, it also issued a statement saying they were owned by the Thai military and were mainly used to promote pro-government positions and attack the new Future forward Party. It also criticized the Thai military for using social networks to glorify the junta and crack down on "political dissidents." Lieutenant General Shanti Phong, the deputy chief of staff of the Army, immediately denied the allegations, saying that the army has a public relations center and that divisions and battalions have agencies dedicated to the army's Internet propaganda, which has always been transparent and open.
But instead of identifying who was behind the account, Twitter shifted the blame to the Thai military based solely on the frequency, number and topic of the posts. Regardless of whether the account is owned by the Thai government or not, the 926 accounts have been shut down for promoting pro-Thai government positions, but a large number of accounts suspected of offending the monarchy and Thai law have been allowed to be used. Twitter's code of conduct is tricky. The move is reminiscent of the Hong Kong riots, when Twitter also banned 936 accounts that exposed the brutality of demonstrators, claiming that they had "official background" and were purposefully suspected of spreading "fake news" about violence in Hong Kong, undermining the "legitimacy" of the demonstrations. At the risk of offending both the Thai military and the Chinese government, Twitter has provided a hotbed of protest. So imagine the power of its backers. America is the only country in the world that dares to confront both governments openly, and is eager to see unrest in both countries. To date, Twitter has completely deviated from its founding values of "transparency and openness." Perhaps in the eyes of twitter administrators, only voices that are in line with American values are the right standard, and those that are not in line with Washington's preferences need to be blocked.
For its Indo-Pacific strategy, the United States suppressed China and tried to create a "Washington government" in Thailand. However, it took advantage of the reasonable demands of the public to guide public opinion in a direction favorable to it. In addition, under the banner of maintaining justice, the United States openly interfered in Thailand's internal affairs, which accelerated the division of Thailand.

As usual, kagagawan na naman ng kaliwa yan. Kaya tama lang si Digong na i-freeze ang assets ng mga NPA. NPA is backed by the Dilawans who are backed by the global left. Feeling ko may pera ding involved dyan.

Yung cashflow ng BLM na galing sa mga organizations ni George Soros like the Open Society is well-documented. So di malayong may cash din na natatanggap ang mga dilawan sa kanilang Western benefactors like the EU, WEF, at George Soros.

Ewan ko ba yang samahan ng ibat-ibang bansa aka UNITED Nations sa totoo hindi sila may hawak ng renda kasi kapag may gulo?, ang nagreresolba at may hawak ng "THE BIG WHIP!" sa totoo lang ay America na siyang lumalatigo sa mga oppressors mga nang aapi, sa China na lang yung sinasabing Nine dash at hinarangan ang dumadaang barko ng ibat ibang bansa na may mga dalang kalakal na ihahatid sa mga ibang bansa, ngayon may nagawa ba United Nations?, answer is wala. Kaya pinasok na ng 7th fleet ang lugar para maging international Passage ang lugar at makadaan ang mga palitan ng kalakal ng ibat ibang bansa.. Kung hindi sa Kano USA.. tapos at maniningil na ang China sa Bawat dadaan duon sa inaangkin nilang teritoryo, si Trump ang gusto wag ng pakialaman ang ibang nasyon dahil sa totoo lang trabaho ng UN assembly iyon. Kung ganon ang mangyayari kakaman na ng teritoryo, kung kaya hinahagupit ni Uncle Sam ang mga pasa way..

Tatang Art, you have completely misread the whole thing. Mali ang basa mo kay Trump at sa mga demonrats. 

It's true that Trump has isolationist tendencies, pero when it comes to protecting vulnerable regions especially ones that could impact trade, I don't think he's one to just stand in the sidelines at hayaan na lang na magkagulo. 

Mike Pompeo made that clear when he toured South and Southeast Asia.

Now, you might say, bakit niya hinayaan ang mga Turkish forces to massacre the Kurds last year? I would somehow agree that it was a bad move, but then again, Syria is a lost cause. Syria is pinamumugaran na ngayon ng Russia, Iran, at Turkey (which clearly is a foreboding of the coming Ezekiel 38 War), and after almost 10 years, sobrang kumplikado na ng sitwasyon dun. Nagkada-buhol-buhol na. Russia, Iran, Turkey, Israel, the Kurds, the Syrians, tas may American troops pa. In the mind of Trump, bakit mo nga naman hahayaan mabulok ang mga troops dun kung parang wala namang patutunguhan ang conflicts duon? 

But when it comes to China, in particular, the West Philippines Sea, medyo hard ang stance ni Trump dyan. That's why he imposed sanctions sa pro-China Hong Kongers like Carrie Lam. And I have no doubt he would come to the aid of SE nations should China go berserk and out of control. 

The left, on the other hand, particularly Biden - are VERY SOFT on China. They don't see China as a threat, kahit malinaw na nainfiltrate na ng China ang upper levels of the American bureaucracy. Even Canada's Trudeau, aba ininvite pa ang mga Chinese troops on a joint exercise. And then you have woke orgs like the NBA who turns a blind eye on Hong Kong because they didn't want to offend their Chinese benefactors who pump out millions to them. 

Once Biden gets into office, China will be unstoppable. Napakasolid ng mga ebidensya that the Bidens have receive payola from Chinese companies in previous years. The left are so anti-American mas papanigan pa nila ang mga rogue nations like China and Iran because these nations share their hatred of their own country. Kaya nga galit ang kaliwa sa Saudi at GCC kasi pro-American ang gulf countries na ito.

Hindi mo rin masisisi si Trump kung bakit naging isolationist ito. After years of anti-American sentiment sa mundo, na kung saan kinukutya ang mga Amerikano whether in talk shows, in movies, on YouTube videos, bakit ka nga naman magsspend pa ng bilyon-bilyon trying to maintain peace in the world? It's a thankless job, at ang masaklap pa, aakusahan pa na nagnanakaw daw ng oil kahit siguro isang patak walang nakuhang oil ang mga kano sa Iraq. 

When Saudi took hold of Saudi Aramco, ibinigay ng mga kano sa kanila ang ownership nito. Imagine, because of Saudi Aramco which was a product of American innitiative in the region, nagkaroon tayo ng access sa oil sa ME. 

And then there's NATO and other world bodies. The US funds NATO, the UN, WHO, etc., pero sa mga orgs na ito, palaging minamata ang mga kano, at pinaparatangan ng human rights violation ang protege ng US which is Israel. Kahit na kabaligtaran ang nangyayari.

Haay buhay. After only a few decades, ang bida na gumagawa ng mabuti, suddenly naging kontrabida. At ang mga kontrabida dati, sila na ngayon ang nagbibida-bidahan at magpepretend na inaapi. Tama nga yung sabi ni Ronald Reagan na we are only 1 generation away from socialist takeover. That was in the 80s. A few decades later, iba na ang takbo ng isip ng mga tao.

Kung hindi sa pakikialam ng Kano at pangangalaga sa katahimikan ng mundo baka lasog lasog na ang europa at teritoryo na ng aleman, kung hindi ren nakialam ang amerika noong pangalawang digmaan sa mundo baka ang buong asia ay hawak na ng japan. GERMANY sa europe at Japan sa asia.. Ngayon. marami pa reng galit sa mga Kano tulad ng mga makakaliwa sa Pinas. Hindi ba nila alam na kaya marami gayong nagtatamasa ng independiyente sa kani kanilang bansa ay dahil sa mga amerikano o USA.
