September 1, 2020 (Tony Cartalucci - ATN) - Bangkok Post's headline - echoing those of the Western media and US government-funded fronts like Prachatai - would proclaim, "Student leader Jutatip arrested over protest."
The article reveals that Jutatip is a member of the Student Union of Thailand (SUT).
SUT is co-founded by a collection of diehard fans of Thailand's billionaire-led opposition - particularly billionaire fugitive Thaksin Shinawatra and his Pheu Thai Party and union-busting billionaire Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit and his Move Forward Party (previously named Future Forward).
They also coordinate with and promote the activities of each and every US government-funded front involved in organizing protests including Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR), iLaw, and Prachatai.
Co-leaders including Parit "Penguin" Chiwarak and Tanawat Wongchai have for years openly supported both Thaksin Shinawatra, his political parties, and have attended street mobs organized by his violent "red shirts." They are also both regularly seen with Thanathorn and senior members of his political party.
Jutatip is no exception. While her social media presence is somewhat less than that of her fellow SUT leaders - she openly bragged about communicating with one of Thaksin Shinawatra's chief propagandists, Pavin Chachavalpongpun - who currently serves as a quasi-academic stand-in for Thaksin Shinawatra - literally "Skyping" in to "student" protests just as Thaksin Shinawatra himself used to Skype call his red shirt followers during violent protests in 2009-2010.
Once again - the media is deliberately misleading the public by omitting mention of these "student leaders'" ties to their billionaire-led opposition sponsors and their foreign supporters - intentionally attempting to claim there are no ties.
Worse still, they publish articles portraying agitators working for foreign interests and criminal billionaires as "victims" of a "repressive" government when in reality nothing these "students" are doing would be tolerated should they be doing it in the West they admire so much - say in the US or Europe with backing from - say - Russia or China or domestic criminals hiding abroad as fugitives. They would be arrested, charged, tried, and promptly jailed while social media giants like Twitter and Facebook would immediately delete their accounts.
The fact that this double standard exists - and especially because it is deliberately not discussed by supporters of Thailand's opposition - further illustrates how toxic and dangerous it truly is and the need of the opposition itself to conceal this truth for as long as possible.
