COVID Was the "Deep Structural Crack" for Thailand?

Transcript of the above video: 

As the title of this video suggests, we are discussing COVID, unfortunately. I hate COVID. Everything about COVID, I look back on, and I just despise how it came about. Now that said, I don't think everybody that in the time and even later, knew exactly what was happening with it so I am not casting aspersions at individuals directly. 

But that said, it was used to roll out all kinds of neo-communistic and Neo-totalitarian types of initiatives and it resulted in no net good for anyone. And what we now know is at best it was a massive over-exaggeration of something that really was not as bad as it was proclaimed to be and it resulted in people having to undertake what was only later described as "vaccination" but would have theretofore been described as "gene therapy", "experimental gene therapy" to be very precise. And in the aftermath of that, we are now seeing serious problems for people. And you can go out and look at, I mean there is data abounding of real problems that have been caused in the aftermath of the whole COVID fiasco. And I am really tired of it being especially branded by the press establishment, whatever you want to call it, as "oh this was an event that just happened". No, it was a concerted event that was rolled out by policy making. Event 201 for example gamed the whole thing out and then they perpetrated it on the world, okay. And by the way, the Head of the WHO, Tedros, a devout Communist. Xi who was pushing it along with him, a Communist. And I am not talking about that like some hyperbolic nonsense; that is what they are literally. And this stuff has the effect, COVID the initiative, has had the effect of rolling out totalitarianism basically. 

That said, I thought of making this video after reading a recent article from the Thai Examiner, that is thaiexaminer.com, the article is titled: Thumbs up from Economic Gurus for 2027 Negative Income Tax Plan. It's a game-changer for progress. As I have said in other videos all of this, it is not a Negative Income Tax, it is wealth redistribution. They are trying to massively, broadly expand tax collection, tax scrutiny in a totalitarian manner against the lowest echelons of the Thai socioeconomic strata and then redistribute that wealth however they see fit, and they are saying, "oh you are going to get free money." That is not what is happening here. It is very similar to the Digital Wallet where they would go into national debt for it and then give you "free money", but then the result was it would be in digital money that would be tracked, traced; they could tell you where you could spend it, what you could spend it on, how long you could spend it and the perimeter in which you could spend it. This stuff is terribly totalitarian. I just hate seeing Thailand being the victim of this stuff. 

That said, quoting directly: "The pandemic made one thing clear. The current system is broken. Covid-19 didn't just cause economic pain - it exposed deep structural cracks." No, the Government imposed all of this. The economic pain was caused by the Government's response at best to COVID, which we now know was very, very over-exaggerated. There was a narrative and that narrative resulted in this totalitarianism being rolled out across the world. Quoting further: "Vulnerable groups were left behind. Informal workers had no safety net. Income inequality surged. Although economic activity has resumed, poverty is once again on the rise." 

And look more Government intervention in the form of totalitarianism and tracking and tracing everyone's money and making everyone have to file for taxes, is not going to help, not in any way shape or form. If anything, it's going to hurt okay. COVID came about because the Government imposed it on people by Fiat, okay. It was not some outside force; it was not like weather, or a hurricane, or a tornado okay. This was people oppressing people using the pretext of Public Health. That's all it was, and they rolled out totalitarianism as a result of it. That's the structural crack. Not people, not free enterprise, not economic activity, okay. 

And we don't need a broader tax system to track and trace everybody to go ahead and “fix” this so-called problem. What we need is the Government to get the hell out of everyone's way and everyone's lives and let us go about earning our own living and living our own lives as free people, which is what Thai means; it means to be free.
