Brave man. Lese Majeste is an affront to peaceful freedom of expression. It directly contradicts Article 18 on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. As long as Thailand retains this disgraceful law, it will not be a democracy.
Those who push for Lese Majeste remind me of the fanatical Red Guards in Maoist China
GILES...YOU ARE A BRAVE MAN...Don't worry about the dogs that are barging at you ...they are a royal cloning dogs...you may called them cock sucker dogs!!!!
Giles, you're coward, why you run-away from Thailand? Don't you known you're not worthly using your THAI NAME. Your criminal charge would be sentenced at least 20 years serving in jail, then you hit and run!!!!!! same as 'thugsin'
Khun Giles, what you see and what I see is same thing about Thailand. You are a great person, brave heart, I salute you. You are my hero. I believe that thais all over the world will support and help you, because you did the right thing for mankind. I assure you that thais will help you where you want to go. I live and work in New York, USA.You can come here too.
This half-breed asshole giles is was paid by the ThugSin(aka -square face or SpongeBob).What we are hearing are dictated and provided by the Thug.This ass is trying very hard to get us to accept his moronic ideas.F8CK off and Don't ever come back. again.
Fuck real news (just for the moment) for giving the people that image to anarchists. Actually for letting that image appear on tv as if anarchists were fascists. The viet didn't even spelled "fasscist" correctly.
at 6:32 the lady on the left is holding a banner that says Stop=Anarcho=Fassicists. WHAT!!! Anarchists oppose fascism, state, church and coprorate power!!WHat the fuck is that all about. That will distort all of what anarchists have been fighting for!! Damn communists! Now I am pissed at fucking socialist democrats who are trying to gain power and at the same time distort realities. I bet they will turn out to be just like capitalist or soviet russia! Fuck the red vietnamese. I hope they loose.
If the thais king locked harry up for 15 years,he too shall face 15 years of humiliation and defamation,it's for bhumibol best interest to release harry as soon as possible.
What this man says is true, but it isn't the complete picture of the conflict in Thailand, which is multifaceted and doesn't really correspond to a Western left/right frame of reference.
The populist former PM, Thaksin, was involved in very shady business dealings, including manipulating the main media conglomerate, in which his family held a substantial share of stock, into representing him more favourably than an independent media would have done.
Another aspect of the conflict is ethnic/cultural, between Thais of Chinese origin who comprise the mercantile class of Bangkok and the other main cities, and the ethnic Thais of the countryside who live according to a very different rhythm.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Once again RNN is showing SOCIALIST perspectives on another country. I don't like neo-liberal economic policies I like economic freedom!!! None of RNN's so-called experts represent ideologies of economic freedom.
this was quite interesting background information. the only version i heard about the current thai crisis was about thaksin's alleged corruption. no further analysis. nothing about the apparent class conflict. it was the first time i heard about his general health care plan too. so thanks a lot for this piece of good journalism and keep up your good work!
If I had money I would donate however I am the shrinking middle class, and I just have enough money for food and shelter. Yet I have two masters degrees, education with no jobs in the US = 2 class system
The only reason real news exists is to keep people distracted and to give us the illusion that this is a credible alternative to the msm, wake up real news zombies, the severity of the problem is being papered over by these crap fluff pieces that rn , and every other sold out propaganda machine is spewing. The left /right paradigm is a lie to keep us from taking our freedoms and rights back!!!!!
I challenge you to find a credible threat to American freedom that The Real News hasn't covered. They've covered neoliberal policies, the military industrial complex, the facade of right-left politics, the impact of privatization on working families...
I guess that that is a problem when people like myself make overarching blanket statements like that, but if these topics have been covered then I have not seen it .I stand by my earlier statement/s that I have made re: real vague news.Peace
He says it because he's a libertarian: a Ron Paul supporting Stateless-Neocon. The worst of the rightists, it is common for them to misrepresent and misintrept concepts. He talks about the right/left paragigm, but libertarians don't even know their right from their left; they try to insist Hitler was a leftist, totally disreguarding reality. To them everything is about the market, that's their idea of freedom; and too bad for those who can't afford to be free. I find them despicable.
English is not my first language and I dont understand some of your meaning. I still dont see how he is being vague. What do you mean by libertarian and left/right? I am not very familiar with Ron Paul and I didnt notice where he was mentioned. In this video about Thailand how is he misrepresenting and misinterpreting concepts? The reason I am asking is because our English teacher wants us to communicate with people whose first language is English. Thanks for your help.
Thank You for your kind reply, your English is very good. Libertarians are a Political party and philosophy here that advocate for an extreme form of capitalism. They believe that only market forces can bring freedom. It might sound nice at first, but they would destroy the labor unions and remove all regulations on business, amongst other things. They think that capitalists will find it in their kind heart not to pollute just because it's good business. It's not really realistic.
Ron Paul is, at present, one of their heroes. He ran to be the Republican candidate in the last election here, but McCain beat him out. Their Economic philosophy comes from people like Hayek, von Mises and more recently Milton Friedman, and what is referred to as the "Chicago" school of economics. Their policies have caused much pain in the world; Pinochet's Chile is one of the best examples.
When I mentioned right/left I am referring to the political spectrum or political divide. The place that one takes on the spectrum is determined by the position that one takes as to the ownership and distribution of property, capital and the means of production. To put it simply Communism/Socialism are on the left end, while fascism is on the extreme right end. In the American sphere, the democrats are to the left of the republicans, but only slightly.
I don't believe that there is any misrepresentation in the video; my warning was to beware of Sailfished's expected response to your comment. I'm sorry, your English is so good that I assumed too much, also in some way my comment was meant to warn all away from what is a very damaging and greedy philosophy.
You are doing very well in your English language skills.
yeah true, but what marketing has established as "news" is not really actual news anyway, and its a marketing bubble anyway, nobody really needs this 24 hours news ticker bullshit, you end up with 4 hours coverage on a vacated suitcase on the airport
i dont think you could make these segments any better with big corporate money, you dont get this much substance and actual insight from anything in the "big news", i dont really miss the magic touch-screen wall ^^
Hey Real News! Why aren't you tyalking about the disaster in Zimbabwe? How about S. Africa's crime problem? The Congo's mass killings?! Are "African" Countries off limits?
Oh I almost forgot Darfar...oh wait they're Muslims..it's ok if they kill christians?!
well its normal. People always forget about Africa. Hell African history is left out of the American highschool curriculum altogether, and so many Americans believe that Africa has never had anything and has never contributed to anything. Despite the contrary to this belief that many Americans hold. The truth is the exact opposite of what many Americans believe about Africa.
or haiti it seems the only news they do about black nations is about misery and there lack of cultural undertanding always seems to make the situation look worse than it is
The real news has done many pieces on Africa.Jeez people give them a chance,They are trying to catch up on decades of neglected media.You just cant do that in a few months.They have to investigate,be 100% factual.Theres tons and tons of information to be sorted through.
No...better yet....come to the u.s....yeah ill give you a freedom of speech bitch.

If the core source of finance for The Real News are people who like what they are doing enough to fund them.
Wouldn't their presentation be such to gain more funds from these same sources?
And I can't help but notice that the majority of posts are communists or pseudo-communists.
The best place to get information on what is going on is to read from a source that exists SOLEY to provide information on what is really going on.
Possibly the same place that the "puppetmasters" have to get theirs

You're right in the sense that interviews with "pundits" (of a sort) is not actual "real news."
But I would say that the interviews are quite the best that can be done without a large news organization (with large money behind it).
In any case the interviewees seem well-spoken and non-dogmatic, and the questions seem intended to expose unbiased truths as much as possible.
