Hi Nicholas,

I just discovered your Creed Speech substack and absolutely love and endorse the 3 postings I have read so far. Allow me a couple of days to read them all, and for sure I will post links to some of them on our GAB Group 'Thai Expats and Friends' < https://gab.com/groups/59814 >.

Zool and myself that started the Group were kicked off the ThaiVisa Forum and ThaigerTalk for our postings that went against the common Vax narrative. The Group name does not do justice to its content as we are mostly posting about the same subjects as on your Creed Speech substack with an emphesis on providing information about the covid-jab horrors and related subjects like the WEF, vax-mandates, masks, SCC and digital currencies. And this with an occasional Thai touch, as the majority of our members are living in Thailand (or have strong ties with Thailand). Currently our Gab Group only has 23 members, but our posts get also quite a number of re-posts and likes from other GAB members. Many small ripples help in making a huge wave.

You wrote that you enlisted Mrs. Creed’s help a while back to translate a few documents into Thai script. You are a journalist and are most probably well aware that it is very simple to create a 'machine-translation' in Thai from any other language. You simply upload a PDF or Word-file with the text you want to translate in Thai on GoogleTranslate, and within seconds you will get the translation in Thai and in the same lay-out format as the uploaded text-document. I neither read or speak Thai so of course I cannot say anything about the accuracy of the translation, and judging from translations from dutch (my mother tongue, as I am from Flanders in Belgium) into english, the translation can sometimes be widely off-the-mark. But it is a very good starting point when you have a native Thai speaker that can compare the original english text with the Thai machine translation and correct it were needed. That way they do not have to start from scratch.

Cheers and I look forward reading your previous postings!

Welcome to Creed Speech. Thank you for the positive feedback. It is good to know that there are more people out there in Thailand that do not have the blinkers on. I have posted things to ThaiVisa before and been socially murdered, censored out of existence within 10 minutes. AseanNow deleted my profile after 20 mins. Moderators are pretty ruthless here eh.

That's uplifting to hear about your Gab group. Whilst I no longer retain any social media presence (except for Substack, which I suppose has elements of 'social media'), I will have a gander at the posts in your group, surely makes for interesting reading.

As for the Thai translation, a lot of the nuance and idiosyncracies of what I convey in English, gets lost in translation (even if Mrs. Creed translates word for word as closely as possible). Therefore, the Thai script section here will only have shorter pieces that are more to the point. I don't think many Thais like to read long articles either. The auto-translate tools you mentioned are effective at deciphering the key content or 'buzz words' of any given message, yet they do lack accuracy.

I posted a link to your hilarious A Day in the Life of Normie McNarrative on our GAB Group chat.

It will hopefully generate some well-deserved traffic to your substack.

God bless you for that. My husband is already onboard but my experience is most Thais have no idea what I am talking about. They are naive and trusting and it has been an uphill battle. One of the saddest things about theCovidBlog shutting down theCovidWorld, regardless of the merit of Brian Wilkins case, is that theCovidWorld regularly reported vaccine injuries and deaths in Thailand which means they guaranteed had a few Thai writers onboard to pick up those stories and do the translation. Who were they and what happened to them? You'll have to reach out to mothers on jabbing the kids. I also believe Thai religious beliefs play a role in their reluctance as they have no problem with talismans of all sorts...

Thanks Amy. The first post for the Thai script newsletter, called นักคิดอิสระ (Independent Thinker), has been published. I have embedded the link in this post here.
