...So you pick up a history book to figure out US's angle

From Peter Dale Scotts: American War Machine-Deep Politics, The Cia and the Global Drug Connection, and the Road to Afghanistan

p.78

p.79

p.80

p.81

TL:DR the US turned Burma-Laos and Thailand into a heroin growing triangle (The Golden Triangle) much like they did with the Mafia in Sicily and Marseilles.

The Drug traffickers and drug money became a huge way of CIA to implant bourgeois ideology and suppress communists and the growing popularity of the PRC. They even used ex-Nazis as agents for drug smuggling. It also gave US unfettered access to Myanmars tungsten reserves.

This enitre coalition was directed at China of course.

              The “Thai Poor Act” is not the fucking “Assembly of the Poor”

              So In Land Destroyers article he says it's not the same name but he found a youtube channel with a similar name. So he puts a question mark over that one.

              So you've "debunked" 1 out of the 3 organistations 2 of which are on NED/CIAs website

              you disengenous right wing shit

                  And iLAW gets most of its money from outside the NED.

                  Well I'm glad to hear ILAW is only partially funded by :cia: lol

                    According to an article by The Nation, iLAW was "established on May 24, 2014 and funded by foreign organisations." [1] This article was purged from The Nation's website between March 2020 and now.

                    Also, iLAW was founded by Sirikan Charoensiri. Charoensiri was awarded the US State Department's International Women of Courage Award. The award was given to her by Melania Trump lmao [2]

                    @JoeySteel, it's very "Right-wing" of you to oppose Melania's favorite activist.

                    According to Tony Cartalucci, iLAW was organized out of the US Embassy in Bangkok during the 2014 coup. [3] He claims their funding was previously listed on the NED's website, but it has since been purged. That would match the pattern I saw with The Nation, but I don't have the time to dig through Archive.org more right now.

                    I did not know Tony Cartalucci before today. His record shows that he was correctly identifying US regime change tactics in Syria, Hong Kong & Libya at a time where the US "Left" was tacitly supporting regime change. [4]

                    @ButtBidet if you actually have connections to communists in Thailand, you should agitate that US State Department infiltration in the protest movement must be addressed first and foremost.

                    Hong Kong, Ukraine, Libya, and countless others prove that there is no progressive move forward so long as it serves the interests of US imperialism. And right now, it seems the US State Department is the biggest mover.
