Thailand: Thaksin Shinawatra’s fake academic front “Nitirat” held its first meeting in an auditorium filled literally with Thaksin’s “red shirts.” Among a sea of red shirts, in the front row, sat Thaksin Shinawatra’s paid lobbyist Robert Amsterdam (pictures and links in the comment section).
Nitirat is a fraud. It is sellouts and traitors hiding behind academia and abusing the principles of human rights and democracy to undermine Shinawatra’s enemies including the Thai Monarchy, and support Thaksin Shinawatra’s bid to seize back power.
Now, Nitirat member Sawatree Suksri was arrested upon her return to Thailand. Where was she? Get this.. a US Embassy-funded “study trip” about “human rights.” And who is defending Sawatree? Prachatai, also funded by the US government. Add that to the dishonest Chiang Mai professor Pinkaew Laungaramsri who is ALSO funded by the US government.
If you have a problem with something in your country you have the right to speak out against it. If you are taking foreign cash to attack your country that is TREASON.
