Transcript of the above video: 

As the title of this video suggests, we are discussing yet again this proposed six Nation Visa system. I thought of making this video after reading a recent article from the Pattaya Mail, that is pattayamail.com, the article is titled: Visa-free travel across Southeast Asia has detail devils to resolve. Quoting directly: "Professor Thitinan Pongsudhirak, based at Chulalongkorn University, said that several security concerns still had to be resolved as member states had very diverse Immigration related policies. For example, Thailand will next year introduce a prior, automated entry requirement for all Visa-free travel." Is this going to be in connection with the so-called Electronic Travel Authorization because if so, I think that's a terrible idea. As I've discussed in other videos, the Electronic Travel Authorization I think is going to be bad thing for Thailand. I think it's going to discourage tourism; I think it's unnecessary. We already have systems in place including biometric screening, as well as the Advanced Passenger Processing System so-called APPS, as well as PIBICS, p-i-b-i-c-s - again I can't remember what that acronym stands for but it's one of their enforcement mechanisms. We have the ability to monitor folks. Now if they want to create some methodology by which you can just sort of scan your passport and pass through an electronic kiosk, okay, but as I have said in other videos, I kind of like the idea of having live Immigration Officers put some eyeballs on these people. We have plenty of staff. Again, this is one of these things - I've especially seen It in America - where the bureaucracy is just bloated but nobody seems to do anything. You have to interact through digital things and it's all automated, and this, that and the other thing. Meanwhile we're spending more, at least in an American context, on the US Government than we have ever spent before and yet I can't see anybody actually doing anything. I love that line from Office Space where he says "what would you say it is you do here?" I have to pose that question when looking at this scenario that seems to be sort of percolating up that we are going to have all this digitization. We have hired all of these officers. The officers are just going to be doing whatever they are doing sitting around like the Maytag repairman, I'm not sure what they are going to be doing. Meanwhile, this digital system is going to just automate everything, and nobody will have to do anything, so what's the point of having the Officers? Again, I go back to my original point. I would rather have Officers looking at people in real life because there are little things that Immigration can see, that can shoot up red flags and I'm sorry, there's no computer and there's definitely no automated sort of walk-through kiosk that's ever going to be able to perform that function to the same extent as a well-trained Immigration Officer, there just isn't. 

That said, quoting further: "But the authorization is specific to Thailand. What happens under the proposed policy if a tourist first enters Cambodia but then crosses to Thailand?" Well I'm sure the WEF globalist faction of the world will love to swoop in with some supra-national, again Supra – s-u-p-r-a - national, get ready to hear that term a lot, especially in the context of the BRICS. By the way I'm not one of these people who thinks the BRICS is some kind of saviour out there. I know - especially in the alt media - there's many who think "oh BRICS is going to save the world". No, it's another supra-national organization. They keep talking about the same stuff we have ever heard about from any of these sort of supra-national organizations: "sustainability" and "green" and all of this other stuff. Again, I just fail to see how a supra-national bureaucratic body is going to be well suited to sort of administering Immigration Law across all these different countries. Meanwhile, I don't want that. I want Thai Immigration exclusively, to deal with Thai Immigration Policy. I don't want anybody else; I definitely don't want any outsiders. They don't know what's best for Thailand; they don't know what's in Thailand's best interest. Why are we having them involved at all, and why do we need this six-nations scheme? It's not exactly hard to get into Cambodia; it's not exactly hard to get into Laos; it's not exactly hard to get into Vietnam; it's not exactly hard to get into Malaysia. It's not exactly hard to get into Thailand right now.

I know they want to add this ETA and all this bureaucracy, but it looks to me like all this talk of a pan-ASEAN visa and all of this, it's like window dressing for that bureaucracy. It's "oh, you're getting something out of this so we can create a supra-national panel that's going to administer all these countries' Immigration Laws and at the same time really provide no significant service to the people actually going through the channels. Meanwhile, it seems to me to be a substandard enforcement device for Immigration Law enforcement at checkpoints at least here in the Kingdom of Thailand, that's the way it looks to me. That said, quoting further: "The Thai Foreign Ministry believes that all related concerns can be sorted..." Well I'm sure they do, "...but that the initial "6 countries, 1 destination" policy will likely be a bi-lateral agreement with Vietnam or Cambodia." Then why are we talking about this? If it's going to end up bi-lateral, why all of this? It's just nonsense. Quoting further: "A quick resolution across the region is unlikely." Yeah, because all these Immigration apparatuses are probably not going to disagree, not going to agree. Quoting further: "Thus, agreement will need to be reached on the database identification of criminal elements who would be quick to exploit ambiguities in specific countries. Better to make haste slowly." 

Again, that is what worries me is they create a supra-national body that begins administering National Immigration policy out of some need to "thwart foreign criminals". All of this looks to me like something that just simply is not in Thailand's best interest and I fail to see where there's any major benefits that are even going to accrue to the public because one) it is pretty clear to me this system is not going to come online anytime soon, and even if it does, it's not going to come online in the way that they're claiming it does under this rubric of "6 countries, 1 destination."
