Freedom Against Censorship Thailand CENSORED!
26-04-09

If you can read this, YOU PROBABLY AREN'T IN THAILAND!

If you live in Thailand and are a FACT reader, you probably don't use TOT ADSL, Kasetsart University or Buddy Broadband as your ISP. All three of those ISPs have been blocking FACT since at least noon on April 25 and at least TOT was redirecting users via transparent proxy to a blank blockpage at Thailand's ICT ministry.

Will FACT readers please keep us informed if and when FACTsite http://facthai.wordpress.com is blocked by other ISPs. Please let us know by email: http://w3.mict.go.th, as is TOT.

The fact that THREE ISPs are now blocking FACTsite indicates that the blocking order did, in fact, come from MICT and is not just an ISP decision.

This means that probably more ISPs will start to block FACTsite as the MICT "request" is implemented by them. Some may be inefficient and not get around to blocking; others may simply ignore MICT's "request".

It is HIGHLY unlikely that MICT sought a court order to block FACTsite. Therefore, we have a good basis for a court case. FACT would like to become the second legal website in Thailand after Midnight University!

In any case, the first step is a letter of complaint to MICT and the three ISPs. We shall also get on the phone to all four on Monday.

Can some FACT readers please let us know if FACT's RSS feed is still sending to subscribers?

Thanks for your help and support. FACT readers should use proxies and VPN till we get a new, mirrored website up. (This is the same way we'll continue to post.)

Freedom Against Censorship Thailand (FACT) has prepared a formal letter of complaint to send to Ranongruk Suwanachee, ICT minister, and the CEOs of the three ISPs:

Thailand is NOTHING BUT A FACADE of a nation, and once anyone stays longer than a week or so in that lie of a nation, you see it for what it is:  A land of fake smiles and ulterior motives where the THAI PEOPLE can not even trust or believe in other THAI PEOPLE.  My informal fiancee who is "of aristocratic stock" in that her father was a Thai senator and personal friend of the King, was forced to admit to me all of the terrible realities of Thailand and the lies that the THAI PEOPLE are forced to keep perpetuating, especially among themselves.  I constantly want her to get the Hell out of there because of the coming violence associated with the orchestrated world-wide financial catastrophe, but the family tradition is just too strong in that country for her and her family to leave until it is probably too late.  I hold-out hope because she knows more truth than most of the Thai people and she is telling the others in the university school what she can, but their way of thinking and the control that the system of that country holds on the people is something that unless you have PERSONALLY SEEN AND EXPERIENCED IT, you can not possibly understand.

This is exactly what life will be like for ALL of us in the near future and I refuse to stand-by and see this happen to MY nation.

I agree Lindsey, Thailand is a country with a beautiful facade but under the surface it is a nation in slavery.
The population is generally mind controlled and conditioned to accept their plight with a "happy face" or "smile".

The logic behind the brainwashing is to accept ones lot in life and get on with it in happy mode, buddist style and not cause problems - "Life is suffering" according to Buddha.

For Thais its better to put on a mask of happiness everyday, than to show any true feelings of general disgust towards neo feudalistic state slavery. 1984

The gap between the rich and poor is immense.
The average monthly wage is around 10,000 - 12,000 batt around $350 per month if you are lucky. Cost of living is high as the system doesn't leave people with much to spare after each month.
Its nothing to see BMW and Mercedes cars all over bangkok. They cost around 2 million batt there. Way beyond the dreams of the average thai.

On TV every night they have the Royal news ( on at the same time on every channel so there is no missing it. ) which teaches the population to grovel before the Royal family in public and en masse.
This for me was an unnatrual thing to watch. In Ireland we are all equal No Kings, No Grovelling. We have our ancestors to thank for that, so lets make them proud and not forget it.  :twisted:

I asked as many Thais as i could there: what do they think of the King ?
They all said "King very good".
Maybe they know what happens to dissenters.
I never found a critic of the King. I didnt push too far either.
The news blackout is complete. If you question the system in a big way you will likely disappear.

The absolute worst thing I saw there was the wide spread use of MSG to dumb down the population. Its advertised on TV constantly as "taste good sauce".
Resturants are encouraged to use it to make people like their food and come back. Thus make loads of money.
I wish i had the ads saved from thai TV. They show a resturant owner up late at night laughing and smiling with his wife as they count the huge stacks of cash that they made from the customers who came to the resturant.
The secret ingredient is MSG from Ajinomoto, most kitchens in thailand have a bag of white crystals that the throw onto the food.

When ordering food say "Mai sai phong churot"" pronounced =  "Ma-i  sa-i  pom  churot" which means "no taste good sauce" . They will know what you mean. I heard some thais asking for this also so i hope knowledge is spreading over there. I told as many people as i could.

Other thing I noticed was on TV they promote the half thai - half caucasian celebrities more than the 100% thai actors / actresses (celebrities)
Its easier to be famous if you are half "Farrang"  foreign. Thais prefer to have whiter skin as dark skin is a sign of low class. I think its sad that the country allows prostitution on the scale it does, simply for $$$$ at the expense of the exploited women.
The elite are educated in the West at places like Eton or Harrow , Oxford etc.
Where is the national pride That is what i would like to see in Thailand.

The protests that take place in Thailand are IMO controlled opposition.
Like in the UK they have Labour and Tory. Reds vs Blues.
In Thailand they have Red (Thaksin) vs Yellow (the King).
No change will come from either of these groups.

At least this website and Daryls website were not blocked when i was there this year.

I am not working now in America, and I was offered a job back in Thailand, but I refused because I simply REFUSE to go back to that shitty country where the people are treated like shit and do NOTHING AT ALL to help themselves.  My informal fiancee is the ONLY reason that I would even consider to go back, but knowing everything that I know, I simply can't do it; as Daryl says--"Once you become a pickle, you can never go back to being a cucumber again."  He is absolutely right, and my experiences in Thailand have shown me EXACTLY what the world is going to be like if the Zionists truly get everything that they want--and it is only a matter of time if something is not done to stop this.

People who either have never BEEN to Thailand or have only been as tourists have NO FUCKING IDEA what it is like.  As I have said, I taught at a university school and one of the best in the entire country, and these kids had almost no ability to think outside-the-box because the system AND pollution have destroyed their ability to be free human beings.  My God, every time I think about what I saw, I get physically sick--GENUINELY.  People KNOW the truth about the Prince and that he is insane, frequents prostitutes, and may even be A MURDERER, and this came from someone who would know.  It is the most fucked-up country I have ever seen, and I went there thinking that it was one of the BEST countries in the world!!   :oops:  :roll:  EVERYTHING IS A FACADE BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY WAY THAT PEOPLE CAN MAKE IT...is THAT how you want to live?  I am REAL, and I would say it constantly hoping that the people around me would understand that it is OK TO BE REAL AND NOT FAKE, but sadly, it just made them that much more conscious of the lie that every one of them live and after a short while of trying to be real, they are FORCED to revert back to the only thing that they know.  I simply can not take being in that environment, even though the person I love more than any other, besides my mother, is trapped there with her aristocratic family.

People, if you ever want to know WHY we fight like we do, THIS IS WHY WE DO IT; if we let these psycho/sociopaths get what they want, then I SWEAR TO YOU, we will all end-up like the Thai people and if you don't believe me, THEN GO THERE AND I DON'T MEAN THE PLACES WHERE THE TOURISTS GO and you will see what is waiting for us in less than a decade...maybe MUCH less.
