The Western Propaganda War on Myanmar

March 1, 2021 (Brian Berletic – LD) – In this video I discuss the propaganda war being waged by the Western media on Myanmar – how much of the media cited is funded by the US government via the National Endowment for Democracy (NED). 

I also describe how even media in Thailand is heavily influenced by Western propaganda – repeating conspiracy theories spun by “institutes” funded by Western weapons manufacturers trying to implicate China as being behind the new government – while ignoring documented evidence of US government support for opposition groups opposed to the new government.
