US doesn't have free speech on some issues

Re: "Germans have no right to lecture on free speech", Letters, April 14.

 

Free-Speech Seeker in Bangkok could be applauded for presenting the facts about the Germar Rudolf and Ernst Zundel case, but there was naivete in this statement: “In the US there is free speech.”
In fact, Free-Speech Seeker proved that wrong by revealing that Zundal was extradited from the US in this case.
For the US government, there is free speech to insult the Thai monarchy – but insult the Jews and off to solitary in Canada you go.
There is freedom of speech until it comes to the Jews, and there it stops.
Thais, it could be that way here in Thailand some day, with schoolchildren required to learn all the revised details of the Holocaust, and regular doses of the Holocaust in Thai newspapers and on Thai TV news, daily and nightly, until the brainwashing finally takes hold: then, meet your new masters.
Who will own Thailand? Well, who owns Americans?
Why not simply put “In Jews We Trust” on any new, worthless US currency?
That way, at least the source of the problem would be identified.
