Pay To Read in Vientianetimes.org.la
Permalink   



Why? Why?...Vientianetimes.org.la continues to ask you to be a subscriber (to pay) to be able to read some old and new articles or news (that you have missed)...They won't give us statistic how many subscriber they have..Not many on line news website around the world require you to pay to read...The government needs money for its workers, I know that...But, they need to focus on that income from advertise...Too bad, I feel sorry for many and excellent (English) writers that they have...Not many ordinary reader (like myself) can read your articles...I hope that they'll change this policy very soon...Just my two cents

It's just like you buy a newspaper each time, if you think the news in vientianetimes are not as fast as you believe it should then, you need to support lao media so it could have enough money to upgrade its services. Only criticise not helping anything but also shown you are an Avare or sticky person.

In Communist country, the government controls everything. There is no private news organization, and they still want people to subsribe to read the news.
Who want to reads all the government propaganda? Let alone have to pay for it? I am not that dumb either to pay to read something like this...

One said that vientianetimes.com from Laos, just communists propaganda, but don't you think USA did that as well, have you seen ' The Fantasy of Nightmares ' produced by BBC and american, running time maybe 3 hours last week I saw the second part, it tells us USA invented many stories about Soviet Union, and most of them are purely lies, accordingly to this Document, if you do not agree then complaint with BBC.....channel 4 or Sbs australia always shows this sort of documents, in 1961 USA had nuclear to destroy this planet 10 times over, Soviet union only had 2...but through the fantasy of nighmares american neo-con made up lies saying that USA were threaten by Soviet union...a kind of propaganda, this document also said they made the american people to believe it may happen that soviet union going to attack usa, so there you are....all sides have of course propaganda to protect their regime....in turn defense their own interests and country. Not only communists, and so what, as long as not big lies. Have a copy of K19 made by Hollywood and listen to the quote of the movies and find out who has more mass destruction weapons for yourself.

This is not only paying for reading but there is a hidden agenda, it's good to discuss about it. Communists propaganda, what the slogans said, 'Love your Motherland, love your people, serve your country, prepare to defend your country....etc, it did not say, this country is our enemy that country is evil, always wars and enemies....if you remember back there, 1968....Indochina war, Usa sent 500 000 troops plus troops from Australia, New zealand, South Korea...( South Korea, now admit that's a mistake ) fight for freedom, but document from USA about Dr. King the black man fight for his people, black african in Usa did not even allow to eat in White restaurants, Cafes, only worked there, servants...so lies again from this Documents, no black allowed to have business or vote, but they loved the meo or hmong in Lao, because hmong in Lao is CIA private army, so even now, hmong in Usa still did not like Lao, but reality is they can say things about Lao, but not much they can do.
If people argue, because of communism that's why they support the war in Indochina, then why Whashington fought British Empire, Democratic system, we colonise people for freedom, justice and progress, then why Washington Put up a fight, it's strange isn't it, and Abraham Lincohn.....liberate the black slaves....only to face racism, and still slaves in a sense. Untill now you see black candidate for presidensy, he already got attack from John Howards Australia, because he is black. Have a look at american Jim the News hour report us war equipment damaged....and the bill to support war that's why many american likes this black man.

I am not Republican, and I don't support the war in Iraq. But I am worried about the morale of the troops there.
Here is, when you are in the war, you don't tell or set the date when you're going to quit or withdraw. Sen. Obama and others gave the wrong signal to our enemy...period..

So if you want to support the newspaper fine if you not also okay, but some may still argue because written english in vientianetimes is poor, or other reasons...propaganda and else, or maybe socialist government in Lao made many lao left the country. But if we look at all documents about World war 1 and 2 there were many refugees from that time as well, and Psychologists stated that in any war, the after match always created Depression, Confusion, among people for many reasons, country like Australia received many refugees from Europe, at that time when they came to Australia they were directed where to live and given a job, means you have to work no matter what kind of job, so you earn your living, you are not allow to speak your own language but english....' Tales from the Suitcase' Document telling difficult and hard experiences of european refugees in Australia those days, but people keep coming because of works. So Indochina is the same after all don't you think Cambodians, Lao, Viets are just human being like any other in this world, you saw at that time socialist government in Lao is strict in everyway because that only way they can avoiding things like in Iraq you see now. Long ago during World war 2 USA government also had extreme measure with japaneses born in USA, they simply put japaneses in concentration camps because National Security ( japaneses are enemies ) at that time. But now things change so Lao's government, but even in Western countries you think you are free, but accordingly to its rules, as you walk down the streets to shopping centres, you are being watched by all sort of video camera installed around the buildings and streets. Don't you think western countries no watching and monitoring the extreme islam people, they do, for the security and peace of the country itself.

There's two VientianeTimes...I believe one's .org and the other .com or .net.  The free one's run by Hmong-Lao in America. I only read a little bit, because most of the time they like to attack Laos w/ words and issue. No big difference from Hmong Time or Hmong Today...always dissing Pathet Lao, always assume we treat them like animal, hunting them down...get over it my hmong buddies, play by the rule and u'll be safe. it's not like I like the commie, but when u aim at a nation, i'm laos too...

What we discuss about here is Vientianetimes.org.la (from Laos) run by Laos government. It's ridiculous that they try to make some money this way.

You can read only 2 or 3 stories from the top, but in "Current" you can't read.

How much money they made from this?
