Oh my goodness, Honduras is turning into a military dictatorship. The world rushes to the United Nations crying and sniveling to Ban Ki-moon. Oh boy, that will get a response. The world condemns the Honduras military with a “scathing letter of rebuke and condemnation”. To top it off the UN sends Ibrahim Gambari, that will show them. Yup, it will show them that the impotent response from the free world and the UN are spineless and nothing more than words. This is just like a broken record but is anyone paying attention? I truly doubt it.

Yup, talk is cheap and tin horn generals from around the world can’t extort money from the world without a hostage. Learning lessons taught by N. Korea’s Kim Jong II, Burma’s General Than Shwe an a multitude of leaders in Africa is just the ammunition they need to wage war on their own citizens. Kim Jong boldly threatened the US with a thermal nuclear strike and joined hands with the criminal regime of Burma. Now there is a very real fear that Burma will soon have weapons of mass destruction and there is no doubt Honduras will gain access to this technology as well. Why, because we let it happen.

Maybe if N. Korea and Burma had more oil and gas we would have responded to the cries of their people. Why wasn’t the clear victory in Burma’s election in 1990 truly supported? Kim Jong made a fortune off the US by saber rattling while blasting bombs and popping off bottle rockets. In turn Than Shwe has accelerated they war on its own citizens knowing nothing would happen. African citizens are already under siege and we, the free world, actually do nothing but offer lip service. And of course Honduras has joined the ranks of budding military dictatorships. There is an old saying, “Money talks and B.S. walks” and as far as I can see the world over is doing a lot of walking. Don’t think for one second that Honduras will be the last upstart military dictatorship for it’s only the beginning for we’ve planted seeds of tyranny all over South America. And soon we will reap what we’ve sown.

Barrick Gold’s poster boys, George Bush senior and Billy Clinton’s policy of “Let’s just ignore them and maybe they will go away” spawned a new generation of dictators in Africa and South America. So did their corporate backed legislation I might add. The US and the free world has partnered themselves with China who continues to violate the basics of human rights and continues to jail and murder it’s citizen. And politicians sold their souls to the devil because of greed. In all actuality they sold the citizens of their respective countries to the spineless New World Order all for the sake of the corporate bottom line. Tony Blair has been touring China promoting Chinese interests in Great Britain. He left Gordon Brown holding the bag as industries sail out of the UK bound for China. China’s ambassador and WalMarts matriarch Hillary Clinton all but stated that human rights would not stand in the way of economics when she was in China. After all we slave labor is not that bad. And the World Trade Organization has continued to give it’s blessings for the wholesale murder of African’s as international corporations continue to rob the continent of its natural resources. Now the cancer has spread in epic proportions.

Sadly the only tough stance Barrack Obama has taken was against the population of the United States while showing his soft underbelly to the rest of the world. Once in power he has turned his back on the very constituents who got him there. Only now are people waking up to this true agenda, Globalization and the One World Order. Industries continue to move to China and other third world nations whose competitive edge is the lack of labor laws and environmental restrictions. And it is sickening to learn that GM, after receiving all our tax payer dollars is building facilities in China while closing plants in Canada and the US. It’s even more outrageous they plan to sell cars manufactured in China back to the US in a few years. Detroit and the other gutted industrial states lay in ruin. Now Barrack plans to mow down our rusting industrial sites further crippling our ability to be a self sufficient nation.

Representative John Boehner was quoted as saying about our first US bail out as nothing more than a “Crap Sandwich”. Now with the help of all our politicians we are being fed a banquet of crappola to suite the needs of international corporations who hunger for natural resources around the world. Corporation’s members of the house and congress are heavily invested in by the way, remember AIG? Has anyone actually read any of these free trade agreements? I doubt it for if you did you would realize the fact we like other conscript nations have already lost our sovereignty. The World Trade Organization is the new world capital you know. Corporate thugs under the direction of the WTO continue to rob third world nations at the expense of the indigenous populations. Companies such as Barrick Gold continue to buy off politicians to steal land from their citizens and it’s called globalization. Corporatism at it’s best and we are asleep at the wheel.

The hatred being spawned against the free world is not because who we are as a nation but for the indifferent international corporate terrorists who’ve laid siege on these indigenous populations. They glean a handsome profit while silently murdering tribal chiefs who oppose these powerful corporations. The corporations count their chips while leaving their host nations holding the bag for crimes against humanity and it is our kids who must die in the wars that ensue. Now we’ve set the stage for an unexpected international show down and obviously this will put a kink in the plans to globalize the free world into a New World Order.

Now third world dictators will be popping up all over the place and they will soon have a bomb to play the extortion game with. If only we snuffed out the vermin in Burma when there was a clear majority vote against the military dictatorship of Burma. If only we were true to our word. Soon the America’s will enjoy the tyranny they spawned. But that’s OK; after all it’s all about the corporate bottom line. Yup, it’s all about the money paisan, it’s all about the money. So enjoy your crap sandwich since there is no turning back the clock now. After all this is destiny as prophesized by dogmas from around the world. And it’s a full meal deal, lock stock and tomahawk. Now could you please pass the tobasco sauce?

North Koreas alliance with the criminal dictator of Burma, Than Shwe, has been known in circles in Burma for years. Only now is it becoming apparent to the rest of the world. Than Shwe’s alliances go much deeper as people begin to follow the money as China, Russia and other “secret allies” begin to surface. By all rights Russia and China should have recused themselves from voting on UN Sanctions pertaining to Burma because of their blatant conflict of interest. They are deeply involved financially and have everything to gain by the criminality perpetrated by Than Shwe’s criminal regime. The scuttlebutt over North Korea’s acts of stupidity by both Russia and China is nothing more the lip service and nothing more.

It was only obvious North Korea offered Burma the critical distraction they needed. The A-Bomb/bottle rocket scare was deliberate to mask the Aung San Suu Kyi disaster that back fired on Than Shwe. It also hid the fact the military regime has launched a new offensive on the ethnic minorities throughout the region, the Karen being one of them. His offensive has also targeted ceasefire groups who opposed the liquidation of their sovereignties and converting them into nothing more than border guards. Now Kachin State is being fortified by *Burmese troops in preparation for war. Ironically Burma and the Kachin were still trying to hammer out a deal. Apparently the junta already made their decision while using the negotiations as a smoke screen to build its troop strength in the region.

Also masked by Kim Jongs nonsense is the fact the Burmese military has increased its recruitment drive of **child soldiers throughout the region. And the United Nations response is to send the corrupt Ibrahim Gambari back to Burma after his disastrous self serving visitations in the past. Likened to a vacation Gambari will most likely enjoy the company of another Burmese starlet to pass the time with while recieving another priceless ruby, according to sources who’ve witnessed this in the past.

While these calculated distractions take hold, left in obscurity is the trial of Daw Aung Suu Kyi and all the criminality that goes with this sham of a trial. The reality is the UN as well as the well intended nations of the world have become partners with Than Shwe as they inadvertently condone the illegal sham election in 2010. The notion that there could be reconciliation or even a fair election is preposterous to say the least. The fact Than Shwe’s Union Solidarity and Development Association (USDA) has already begun the process of buying ***votes should be an indicator the election will be rigged at the very least.

Arrests of Daw Aung San Suu Kui and celebrants of her birthday continue under the smoke screen of Korea’s distract-a-news. Paranoid Than Shwe has further disrupted his upper echelon by shifting his generals around in a feeble attempt to have the most loyal next to him when he dies. Ironically his attempts will be futile since destiny can not be altered and he is on course to meet his fate for he only alienated some of his staunchest supporters. Soon Burma will have their “Night of the Long Knives” a befitting demise of Than Shwe if cancer does not take him out first.

Like they say, “Three strikes and you’re out”. With three Pagodas mired in unprecedented loss of life and the collapse of one, Than Shwe secured his fate. He will be the talk of the town during Taungbyone Nat or Spirit Festival in August. Taungbyone is a paranormal event where soothsayers and mediums come together. If only his astrologer would have told him of the price one pays for petitioning forces of the spirit world to retain power for payment is due. Adolf Hitler as well as Pol Pot learned the hard way. Soon Than Shwe will join their ranks as they enjoy the fruits of their genocide as revenge from their victims reigns for an eternity.

With all the discussion over the Iranian election and the voice of the people by the world over you’d think this would offer focus on Burma. After all it was a clear majority that voted for Daw Aung Suu Kyi. With the Muslim clerics fully supporting President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from the very beginning it was clear he won. When you consider the fact Iran is a radical Muslim state followers vote accordingly and Mir Hossein Mousavi was out of the loop, plain and simple. So I question if this is yet another distraction of some kind so the world does not have to deal with Burma and its flagrant acts of criminality. It would appear the world is full of words and is easily misguided. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon should take a stand and not cower behind the sofa or is the UN part of the money laundering operation of Burma as well?

Burma’s junta continues to rape and murder in their blatant acts of genocide as Daw Aung Suu Kyi faces trial for winning the hearts of a nation. On the bright since, international corporations continue to invest in Asia while divesting in the parent nations they once resided. Soon Than Shwe will be sporting a Humvee, GM will be selling cars from China and Daewoo will continue to fill shelves with electronic goodies we don’t need. After all, it’s all about the money and the corporate bottom line. By our ambivalence to the cries of the Burmese people we will in essence seal out fate as we empower financial concerns over humanity.

Finding allies who would support his cowardly acts of rape and genocide is becoming a very real issue for Than Shwe of Burma. Now that his regime of death is under the microscope from all quarters of the world population he and his minions are more of a pariah than world figures. Like a beggar he is pandering for support and funding to combat the will of his people in a desperate attempt to maintain control. His spin doctors are polluting the government controlled press with lies and rhetoric in an effort to stem the tide of truth about his sham trial of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi.

Any street kid can see that Than Shwe is on the run, so to speak. He dishonored his allies with his bold attack on Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and he grossly underestimated the response from the world at large. The only positive response he received was from Kim Jong II with Jong’s nuclear threat scam. So Jong popped off a few bottle rockets and plans to detonate another impotent bomb. It’s all a convenient distraction and frankly Jong showed himself to be a nuisance. Fact is, Than Shwe managed to place North Korea under the microscope like never before and this is bad for commerce. N. Korea was vying for world power status. Now they share the limelight with Than Shwe and his merry band of criminals. His feeble pandering of China had the same negative effect. Now the world marketplace has China under the microscope for their horrific torture, rape and murder of the Falun Gong sect as well as the on going atrocities in Tibet. Dare I mention the conflicts in South America and Africa spawned by Chinese industries and the indigenous people?

China has a lot to hide from the consumer world as US and European industries relocate to Chinese soil. I’m still amazed that General Motors closed shop in the US and Canada only to build new plants in China. Are they going to capitalize on the 80 million slaves in China’s secretive Gulag System? Maybe it’s just the fact China has no labor or environmental regulations. Laughable they plan to build and send cars to the US and Canadian markets. Oh well, to bad, so sad after all its all about the corporate bottom line. I would not have noticed this tidbit if it were not for Than Shwe’s pandering. Thanks Than Shwe for the focus on China.

Than Shwe would find it impossible to find allies in Somalia. Even the warlords would not want the heat Than Shwe would give them. On the streets people would say that Than Shwe and his thugs are “Jonesing” for allies but the word is out on his regime now. Clearly he is not using the best judgment, even for a military dictator. Strategically speaking he has managed to alienate himself on all fronts and placed his regime in the crosshairs of worldwide public opinion.

It was said in many visions that Burma’s criminal regime would be toppled from within his own ranks. Little did we know this would happen by Than Shwe’s very hand and you got to love the irony of it all. Like a Greek tragedy Than Shwe shot himself in the foot with his over zealous attempt to silence the voice of democracy. Now he will take down everyone who sided with him including corporations who’ve financed genocide.

A sane person would not continue acts of barbarism while pandering for support. On the contrary, and true to form, Than Shwe has escalated his campaign of death and murder on the *ethnic populations within Burma. How far beyond stupid has he become or is cancer eating at his brain? Now like never before data is streaming out of Burma as rape and murder takes center stage in the press around the world. It is heartening to note that web sites are getting more queries about Than Shwe’s legacy of death and people are totally shocked at what they are discovering.

Myo Thein, Director of Burma Democratic Concern, calls it “People Power” and now the people of the world are becoming aware of the power they truly possess. It is called the all mighty dollar or purchasing power. More and more people are paying attention to labels and are beginning to exclude items from corporations who have allied themselves with criminals such as Than Shwe. Though India’s media has been artificially silent about Daw Anug San Suu Kyi’s bogus trial word has gotten out. A multitude of the members of parliament are urging their leadership to take a stand and soon questions will be asked by the people why India has sided with tyranny.

Its people power at its best and it is the people of the world who are influencing their leadership with demands that something be done in Burma. And if politicians want to keep their high paying job they will act on the will of their constituents. Corporations beware for your Achilles tendon has been reveled. One day corporate goons will also face the microscope of public opinion. This will directly influence their corporate bottom line and depending on the extent of corporate involvement they will stand trial along side Than Shwe’s generals.

And then there is United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon who seems to have difficulty finding airfare. He should use Ibrahim Gambari’s frequent flyer miles, less the million dollar ruby of course. Eventually people power will force him out from under the sofa and onto an airplane for Burma. He is starting to sound like a broken record with all his lame excuses. Maybe it is time for a new Secretary General that does more than fire off useless sanctions. Small wonder Burma and North Korea thumbs their noses at the UN.

A Crisis of Constitution

Posted in Asia with tags Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma, Trial on May 29, 2009 by buffalohair

Though Daw Aung Suu Kyi is imprisoned she stands defiant and strong willed. According to her attorney she proclaimed;

“We are facing a crisis of constitution, not a constitutional crises”

In layman’s terms the judicial process she is going through is no where close to being constitutional or legal. It is a crisis since Gen. Than Shwe has gone beyond his own laws and restrictions to have Aung San Suu Kyi vilified and condemned to more jail time. Than Shwe has proven that he has no honor with this circus of a trial while violating his own cryptic constitution. Small wonder the *Association of Southeast Asian Nations is pondering the expulsion of Burma from their ranks. This is a dynamic turn of events since the ASEAN rarely says anything at all about their members.

There is nothing honorable about the trial of Aung San Suu Kyi and there is nothing legal about the case according to Than Shwe’s constitution. Yet he keeps on moving forward with this sham with a vengeance. He has gone beyond the tenets of sanity clearly showing his inability to lead a nation with good conscience and sound dictum. The trial was filled with lies and fabrication as it was, then **John William Yettaw threw a monkey wrench into the trial with his rendition that contradicts the junta’s fabrication. I’m more prone to believe the ***taxi drivers story about dropping John off at the gates of Aung San Suu Kyi’s home. It’s logical and makes sense unlike the junta’s version.

The junta is stunned by what they thought was going to be an open and shut case. They postponed the trial till June 5th so they can collectively find another solution to the Aung San Suu Kyi debacle. But with the eyes of the world on Burma at this point in time anything the junta does will be under close scrutiny. The case against Aung San Suu Kyi has managed to enter all facets of society on every country of the world. India tried to mask the trial from their people only to discover that word has spread across the country. There is no question India’s population will want to know why India is so heavily invested in Burma. It is sure to be a political nightmare to those who are associated with Burma’s junta in the near future.

There is an old saying; “every dog has his day” and the bulldog of Burma, Than Shwe, managed to open up a Pandora’s Box that he will find impossible to close. His day of reckoning is close at hand and ironically by his own doing. From his inner circle of generals to the common foot soldier there is a quandary that is eating at the very fabric of Than Shwe’s regime and it is going to be his undoing, there is no question.

With Generals and soldiers veering close to revolt Than Shwe has shot himself in the foot with his latest fiasco. Now the issue is if he is actually competent or sane enough to be at the helm of this impoverished nation. Predictably it will be one of his own that puts an end to Gen. Than Shwe’s madness. For the general who accomplishes this task will come a hero’s welcome and history will remember him as the liberator of Burma. Than Shwe will be remembered for the atrocities he committed while his generals distance themselves from his madness to avoid prosecution. It has been envisioned that Burma would be freed from bondage by someone possibly from within Than Shwe’s circle and I welcome the prospect. Than Shwe better rush to his fortune teller and find out what the stars say. If the soothsayer is truthful they will tell him that the end is near.

In the meantime the world prays for the release of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the liberation of her nation Burma.

Burmese Junta Thugs Threaten

U Win Tin’s Life

Posted in Asia with tags Assasination, Burma, Than Shwe, U Win Tin, USDA on May 21, 2009 by buffalohair

U Win Tin National League for Democracy Senior Officer, better known as “The Man of Steel” has been at the gates of Insein Prison since Daw Aung Suu Kyi’s arrival. Released from prison after spending 19 years, almost entirely in solitary confinement and left to die from illnesses, has held his ground. With his spirit unbroken and still very much alive this warrior of democracy once stated, “I will keep fighting until the emergence of democracy in this country”. *U Win Tin is defiant even with threats to his life by junta thugs.

It is known the Union Solidarity and Development Association (USDA) and the paramilitary group Swan Arr Shin have made threats to U Win Tin’s life. Undaunted, U Win Tin refuses bodyguards and stands defiant. Man of Steel and full of love for his country U Win Tin has become a beacon of courage and principle for the people of Burma and refuses to compromise his ethics in spite of his age and medical condition. He is a role for all Burmese people to emulate and this has made him a target for assassination by Gen. Than Shwe and his band of international criminals.

It is at this critical time in Burma’s history that the world must be vigilant and know that if this champion of democracy and morality is killed the criminal regime of Than Shwe’s Burma was wholly responsible for his murder. With the noose tightening around Than Shwe’s neck every day it is only a matter of time before the junta makes a move and begins another round of assassinations and secret kidnappings. This is junta justice better known as crimes against humanity at its best. The only problem is now like never before the whole world is watching.

Like the warlords of Somalia, Than Shwe and his band of cut throats and thieves are nothing more than thugs and do not deserve a place in the world arena. He is not a leader he is an extortionist who uses rape and murder to keep a country in bondage. He and his regime have violated every international law which places him in a category of criminal and undeserving of any consideration a leader of a nation. He was never elected by the people and only used force to gain control of this beleaguered nation. All Than Shwe and his generals deserve is to be arrested and tried in court for egregious crimes against humanity. His legacy will be nothing more than that of a mass murderer and all the corporations who’ve financed his escapades show be tried as co-conspirators.

Truly U Win Tin is one of Burma’s courageous patriots and deserves the worlds attention at this critical time.

3 Year Sentence for Aung San Suu Kyi?

Posted in

Asia with tags Aung San Suu Kyi, John Yethaw,

Than Shwe on May 12, 2009 by buffalohair

In a spirited turn of events the military junta is seeking 3 additional years of confinement for Daw Aung San Suu Kyi for accepting John Yethaw (Rangoon Swimmer) into her home last week. This reeks of set up and a total denial of Aung San Suu Kyi’s rights even as prescribed by Than Shwe. As usual Than Shwe is penciling in laws to suite his political needs in defiance of even his bogus laws. Apparently he does not realize he is only furthering the resolve of pro democracy groups and now, the general public.

Another turn of events from reliable intelligence sources within Burma is news John Yethaw may be forced to admit to lies the junta has prepared for him. Either by torture or by administering drugs it is expected John Yethaw will admit to untrue statements with regard to the intrusion of Aung San Suu Kyi’s home last week. This will raise another issue since John is an American citizen and maybe subject to cruel and unusual punishment. The military junta has shown total disregard for international laws as well as their own and will stoop to any level to obtain their objectives. Extortion and torture are standard operating procedure as well as crimes against humanity.

There is no question John Yethaw will admit to some of the most vile allegations the junta can muster. Ironically it was an unnamed member of the security force who verified that Aung San Suu Kui was not at all amused by the intrusion early in the investigation. It was the same individual who clearly noted that Aung San Suu Kyi stayed in the second floor while John was relegated to the first floor. The rumor mill from the junta has already spawned myths that this was not John’s first visitation. But by saying so makes the security force guarding Aung San Suu Kyi’s home look inept and bungling at best.
