Thai government seeks to regain control of media

Whoever controls a country's media controls its population: the Thai government is seeking to reduce American influence over its media.

The Thai government has prepared a new law to counter American influence on its media , a good opportunity to ask who controls the media in France (the answer below).

Thai journalists' associations protest

The journalists' associations oppose the legislation, which would allow the government to censor the press , but the government refuses to change the text, which is to be debated by a parliament this week.

This bill in Thailand aims, according to the government, to introduce ethical criteria for evaluating the work of journalists and to maintain social order.

The government believes that self-control by professional media organizations has failed and that the government must exercise this control itself.

The bill therefore establishes a supervisory board composed of media representatives as well as senior civil servants.

The most controversial provision is that the council will issue work permits to all journalists and may revoke them if it considers that certain journalists have lacked professional ethics or have disturbed public order.

A free press, a utopia?

A truly free international press would be a good thing for the world, unfortunately the news agencies that provide information to the vast majority of countries are under the control of powerful financial groups that manipulate information according to their political and economic interests.

This means that countries that want to remain independent are obliged to control the foreign press , especially in Thailand, where the opposition is linked to the Carlyle group , which controls a large part of the world press .

Is the press free in France?

More and more French people are complaining about the media , and the fashionable term to describe them is Mérdia !

But are our media actually independent?

If you are one of those people who are convinced that the answer is yes, you absolutely must read the article below and watch the documentary.

Are the French media independent?

Here is an excerpt from an article by Mad Sheep:

"Let's first take a look at the Lagardère Group. This group controls "Europe 1" via Lagardère Active, "Le Monde" to the tune of 17%, and Le Journal du Dimanche via Hachette Filipacchi Médias.

Arnaud Lagardère is one of the two chairmen of the EADS board of directors. On December 3, 2008, EADS signed a €208 million contract with the U.S. Army ...

EADS is the main supporter of the French American Foundation (Fondation Franco-Américaine). For the past thirty years, this foundation has been recruiting young leaders to hold leadership positions and training them to support Atlanticist and globalist policies within the framework of the transatlantic rapprochement between the European Union and the future North American Union.

Among the French Young Leaders of the foundation, we find: Alain Juppé, Valérie Pécresse, François Hollande, Arnaud Montebourg, Pierre Moscovici, or Christine Ockrent (Christine Ockrent who was at the head of the Saint Simon Foundation , a foundation controlled by the CIA and which had to close when its activities were exposed and has since been replaced by "le Siècle" *).

EADS co-president Thomas Enders is the chairman of the Atlantic-Brücke think tank, which aims to strengthen transatlantic ties.

The Eric M. Warburg Prize has been awarded to Henry Kissinger (1992), former Chancellor Helmut Kohl (1996), Klaus Naumann (2000, former Chairman of the NATO Military Committee and member of the Atlantic Bridge until 2007), and George H.W. Bush Sr. (2002).

Continuing with the French American Foundation , Denis Olivennes, the publication director of the "Nouvel Observateur" is the Young Leader of the foundation for the year 1996.

The editorial director of the newspaper "Libération", Laurent Joffrin is also a Young Leader of the French American Foundation and is part of the globalist think tank " Le Siècle ".

The majority shareholder of Libération is Edouard de Rothschild and is a managing partner of Rothschild & Cie, a bank that is one of the supporters of the French American Foundation . Edouard de Rothschild is also part of the Atlanticist influence group " Le Siècle ".

The newspaper "Le Figaro" is controlled by Socpresse, which belongs to Serge Dassault. Its editorial editor, Alexandre Adler, is also part of the " Le Siècle " group and attended the Bilderberg Group in Versailles in 2003.

He also co-authored a report for the French American Foundation titled "The Democratic Congress and American Policy on Iraq and the Middle East."

As for the Bolloré Group, it owns "Direct Matin" (which broadcasts half the time on the Direct 8 channel), "France Soir", and it has controlled the CSA polling institute since July 2008.

Within the strategic committee of the Bolloré Group, we find Alain Minc who is also a Young Leader of the French American Foundation for the year 1981, he is also a member of the " Siècle ".

As for France Monde (owner of France 24, RFI, and 49% of TV5), the director Christine Ockrent was at the 2008 meeting of the Bilderberg Group in Chantilly in the USA, and she is a Young Leader of the French American Foundation for the year 1981.

David Pujadas, who presents the France 2 news, is also part of the " Le Siècle " group.

The media outlets RTL and M6 are wholly owned by the Bertelsman Foundation . The foundation holds a 5.1% stake in Canal+.

The Bertelsman Foundation is a globalist think tank that is behind the European Treaty Relaunch Project, behind the Mediterranean Union, and is working towards a transatlantic union.

Its members include Henry Kissinger, Joschka Fischer and Jean Claude Trichet (President of the European Central Bank) and it has close ties to the German government and Brussels.

Finally, let's take a look at the newspaper Marianne, known for its left-wing and anti-establishment stance. The newspaper is 25% owned by Yves de Chaisemartin, who has been an advisor to Carlyle Europe since July 2005.

The Carlyle Group is an American investment fund based, among other things, in the arms industry.

This group counts among its advisors George HW Bush, Franck Carlucci (former director of the CIA), in the leadership Olivier Sarkozy (Nicolas Sarkozy's half-brother) and among the financiers George Soros.

Thaksin Shinawatra, the fugitive former prime minister who leads the opposition, is also in the Carlyle group and is in Thailand the great promoter of the ultra-liberal ideas of the banker George Soros on the Open Society (see: this article on the forum ).

Let us add to this list the Bouygues group, owner of TF1 and LCI, co-shareholder of Canal+ (10%) and France 24 (50%).

As for the France Télévisions group (France 2, 3, 4 and 5 as well as France O), it belongs entirely to the state and its president is directly appointed or dismissed by the president of the republic.

All of this information is verifiable, it is not secret, and it should encourage you not to rely solely on information from the mainstream media.

There are many independent sources of information and sites that allow information to be shared and debated, and where propaganda is quickly denounced, such as on this site: www.agoravox.fr

* " Le Siècle " is an Atlanticist "think tank" that brings together the most powerful and influential members of the French ruling class. It includes politicians from both the right and the left, the bosses of the largest French companies, leading journalists in the media who "form opinion," and a few academics.

The entire French press (let's say 99%) - paper, TV, radio - is under their control!

The New Watchdogs, a disturbing documentary

Description: The French media proclaim themselves a "counter-power ." However, the vast majority of newspapers, radio stations, and television channels belong to industrial or financial groups closely linked to the government.

Within a tiny ideological perimeter, pre-chewed information, permanent speakers, undue notoriety, artificial confrontations and backhanders multiply.
