American academic faces years in jail after being charged with insulting Thai monarchy | CNN
“The charges against Chambers represent a ‘tightening chokehold on free speech and academic freedom in Thailand,’ said Sunai Phasuk, senior Thailand researcher for Human Rights Watch. ‘Paul is considered a major target by ultra-royalist groups, which have launched multiple attacks against him for years — ranging from online disinformation and hate campaigns to pressing authorities to revoke his visa and get him expulsed from the university,’ Sunai told CNN.”

“It all amounted to a dramatic move that, if it holds, could reorient the global trading system. It also represents the climax of Trump’s decades-long focus on tariffs and unfair trading relationship that he says led to America being ripped off.”

Criticize Thai Government
Criticizing the government in Thailand can be risky, especially if it involves the monarchy. Thailand has strict lèse-majesté laws (Article 112 of the Criminal Code), which criminalize any perceived insult, defamation, or threat toward the king, queen, heir-apparent, or regent. Violators can face up to 15 years in prison per offense.
Beyond lèse-majesté, other laws, such as the Computer Crimes Act and sedition laws under Section 116 of the Criminal Code, have been used to prosecute individuals for criticizing the government, military, or judiciary. People, including activists, journalists, and ordinary citizens, have been arrested, fined, or jailed for expressing dissent, particularly online.
While some forms of criticism are tolerated, open and direct opposition, especially regarding the monarchy, can lead to severe legal consequences.

Project Blue Beam
Project Blue Beam is a conspiracy theory that claims NASA and the United Nations are planning to create a new world order through a staged, technologically simulated second coming of Christ or an alien invasion. The theory suggests that advanced holographic projections and low-frequency electromagnetic waves will be used to manipulate people’s thoughts and create a global crisis, leading to a totalitarian world government.
The idea was popularized in the 1990s by Serge Monast, a Canadian journalist and conspiracy theorist. However, there is no evidence to support these claims, and mainstream experts dismiss them as baseless speculation.

Europeans, escaping living under the rule of a King, to establish a New World governed by the people.
Currently we have a president who calls Himself.
Our King
