Buffalohair: Burma’s UNconstitution
Buffalohair: Burma’s UNconstitution
Burma’s UNconstitution
Posted in Asia with tags 2010 Election, Burma, Burmanization, Constitutional Referendum, Than Shwe on October 19, 2009 by buffalohair
Constitution of MyanmarReading Than Shwe’s latest literary disaster, *The Constitution of 2008, you must ask yourself, how far beyond stupid is that? Filled with double speak and thinly veiled power points where the junta retains power it’s as worthless as the new money Than Shwe has begun printing. There is no constitution since it simply gives ultimate power to the junta, pardons or gives amnesty to murders, rapist and criminals against humanity. It’s a get out of jail free card for the most reprehensibly criminally corrupt group of people in Burma’s history. It also whitewashes the industries who’ve continued to violate the international sanctions that were imposed.
The fact he chose to push the ballot initiative at the peak of disaster, Cyclone Nargis, while using extortion and threats of death should have been an eye opener for the world. Forced to reveal who they were and how they voted, the citizens of Burma had few choices. The Constitutional Referendum was gun barrel politics at its best. It was the launch pad for the bogus 2010 Election and it bought worthless dialogue that gleaned no results other than buying Than Shwe the critical time he needed. Like the greatest show on earth, Than Shwe set the stage for yet another academy award winning performance.
Ah but not all is well in Camelot and like a train wreck in slow motion Than Shwe is loosing his magic as generals wait for his ultimate demise. Word is out that Papa Than is going to hand the scepter of power to his kid to the chagrin of his generals. Sadly once Than Shwe dies his reign and spell is finished. With factions at serious odds with one another the issue of his son taking power becomes a non issue with a single gun shot to the head. None of his generals will go for a punk kid dictator, democracy or no democracy. It would not be surprising another constitution suddenly sprang up the day after Than died. It would also become open season on his family and they would be sitting ducks. The names of people who flaunted their association with Than Shwe adorn many hit lists and that’s an understatement. The ones with the longest knives will win the day when vendetta echoes through the ranks. Major divisions between the officer and soldier are terminal at best. With desertions at an all time high it is clear loyalty has become a novelty.
Its open season on NLD members, opposition and monk these days as the junta’s kangaroo courts dole out prison terms equal to death sentences underneath the worlds noses. Rape and genocide continue unabated throughout the ethnic regions. The mass exodus of refugees to centers along the Bangladesh, Thai and Chinese borders should be an indicator. Camps are filling beyond capacity in many regions and shortages of food and medication are rampant. But its business as usual as the world panders to empty gestures, fruitless words and jumps through hoops while Than Shwe quietly commits genocide. The new constitution does not address “Burmanization”. That’s the systematic process by soldiers of raping ethnic woman under Than Shwe’s Moto, “Leave Your Blood”. The constitution does not include ethnic groups. The 2010 Election is nothing more than a stage act and the constitution is just a pointless script filled with rhetoric and contradictions. Generals have the final say lock, stock and tomahawk.

Buffalohair: The Two Faces of Burma and Globalization
Posted: Wed Sep 23, 2009 6:05 am Post subject:
The Two Faces of Burma and Globalization
The release of over 7,000 prisoners within Burma’s Gulag system was welcome news. The release of over 200 political prisoners was also welcome news. If only Than Shwe would have released the rest of the political prisoners, if only he released Daw Aung Suu Kyi. Then this would have truly been a humanitarian gesture. But sadly his actions are just a façade or smoke screen as his regime continues to rape and murder their way into the hearts of millions. The fact a U.S. citizen has been severely tortured for weeks while in captivity is proof that it’s business as usual in Burma. In recent years the regime has released thousands of prisoners with great fanfare while covertly increasing the political prisoner population. But for the few families whose loved ones were released this was an unexpected joy.
While politicians make the case for lifting sanctions in Burma and the presses goes wild with speculation and feel good prospects, a 14-year-old girl Ngwa Ma-le was raped and murdered by the Burmese police. Other girls escaped with their lives as Than Shwe’s thugs raped and murdered this *Lisu tribal girl. According to family members she was summons by phone by police who then raped and killed her. In classic Burmese Junta style innocent men were arrested and tortured to the point of death in an apparent smoke screen. Their objective was to cover up the actions of SGT. U Thein Myint and 7 other officers of the Mongkoe territorial police, the culprits in this barbaric and senseless murder.
Though the U.S. State Department is tight lipped about the U.S. Citizen held captive for three weeks. It has already been confirmed Kyaw Zaw Lwin, (a card carrying American Citizen) had been severely beaten and tortured by the junta. Where is Senator Jim Webb or Bill Clinton now? It is obvious the corporate controlled media has been mum about Burma’s atrocitous realities. After all if we follow the money we would discover they are invested in Burma through their parent companies and some point.
There is no mention of the on going campaign of Burmanization and the ethnic wars that have broken out along Burma’s borders. China has failed to show face in dealing with the junta. Their words were just as hollow as the impotent threats from both the UN and the West. The siege of the Karen, Kokang, Kachin and a host of other ethnic minorities has gone unabated as world leaders scramble to find a lucrative solution.
The United Nations has proven to be nothing more than an extension of the international corporate agenda. Focusing on disarming and stripping the free world of industry and sovereignty, the UN has ignored environmental and human rights issues in Asia. The United Nations has become an extension of the World Trade Organization and they purport the cause of globalization. As we all should know by now, globalization is colonization on a grand scale. It’s the international take over of all nations by corporations and forming the “One World Order”. Like it or not, or believe it or not, the one world order has landed and Than Shwe’s regime of Burma is only a microcosm of what is in store for the rest of the globe when globalization has been completed. Soon tyranny will not only be “way over there in Asia”, it will be in Yonkers, Los Angeles and London and you will be asleep at the wheel.
It’s all about the money Paisan, it’s all about the money. With Hillary Clinton, “China’s Premier Ambassador”, making key economical decisions behind closed doors with the axiom of “Economics over Humanity”, Gulags and slave labor will be an excepted practice. Healthy political prisoners will be prized for hard labor and organ harvest like in the case of China where **Falun Gong and other free thinkers are used like cattle. Small wonder Wal-Mart and other U.S. based corporations have capitalized on China’s lack of labor and environmental mandates. Burma will be the next “acceptable” gulag system as the trend towards material and natural resource lusting continues. This trend will undoubtedly plunge Asia into a new era of global colonization and it is all for the corporate bottom line.
Its history repeating itself since this is not a new trend, just ask a Cheyenne or Sioux. Killing and conquest for monetary gain has been here for several millennia only proving one thing, mankind got it all wrong. The line was drawn in the sand, materialism on one side and humanity on the other. The line was then obscured by the use of religion, race and economical concerns. Fortunately, natural events will soon crush the cause of corporate greed, not only in Asia but around the fetid corporate world. And if humanity is plunged back into the Stone Age it will be a good thing since there is nothing “civil” about a society that placed corporate needs before humanity.

Buffalohair: Cyber Attacks and Globalization
Buffalohair: Cyber Attacks and Globalization
Cyber Attacks and Globalization
Posted in America’s with tags China, Cyber Attacks, globalization on July 9, 2009 by buffalohair
hILLARY ON lIBERTY
For us who work in the pro democracy movement cyber attacks have been old news since at least last September or 08’. Spam bombs as I call it have hit us many times in the past and for the most part we’ve learned how to deal with cyber garbage as a whole. The technology is quite primitive but if one is not vigilant even the most archaic assaults can be devastating. It’s almost laughable government sites were so vulnerable though.
I found it quite interesting to note that the media mentioned the latest internet assaults came from North Korean sympathizers. Well the one real sympathizer I know who already launches these types of attacks is the government of Burma. With the help of their Russian technicians they’ve been launching spam bombs for months now. So it is a safe bet that Than Shwe and his band of thugs were involved in the latest assault.
Just with our technology we’ve identified the perpetrators and their locations. The samplings of the spam all had .ru addresses but launched from Burma, India and China in general. There were a few from the good ole USA as well and hopefully they will be dispatched shortly. But for the most part these parasitic spam assaults come from Asia. It’s quite ironic that the US president is making nice with Putin while Putin’s technicians are assisting Burma and China in launching these assaults. Ah but no one pays attention.
With US computer software companies located in Silicon Valley selling computer and firewall technology to China it’s only a matter of time before the cyber assaults gets more complex and more virulent. It’s only a matter of time. But it’s all about the money and these firms would sell their souls to the Devil if it made the corporate bottom line more lucrative. Maybe they already have. It’s almost laughable that we are empowering those who wish to do us harm while padding their pockets as well. Ah but China is our favored nation thanks to Bill and Hillary Clinton. You remember; the ones who sold American jobs to China.
Our cyber enemies have already tested the waters and soon more assaults will be launched. Guess everyone forgot the headline where it was discovered that China had already infiltrated our power grid with their invasive software. We’ve allowed for their obviously bugged electronics to enter every facet of our cyber world because of the cheaper prices of their goods.
We seem to forget the numerous recalls of China’s defective and unsafe goods in recent years. I’m still blown away by the sex drug baby toy disaster as well as the poisoned dog food. Computer related items will undoubtedly share in this constant rash of bogus goods and the totality of this will be astronomical at the very least.
Globalization and free trade are nothing more than a Trojan Horse. As we sell off our assets and technology to other nations it will be corporations that glean the profits at the taxpayer’s expense. The trade deficit has continued to be in the red consistently since its inception to the detriment to US, Canadian and European workers. But our so called leadership continues to boast of its profitability. How far beyond stupid is that eh? Sadly the only ones who see a clear profit are politicians who are heavily invested with no loyalty to the nations they were spawned from.
Oh well, to bad so sad. If people are dumb enough to buy into corporatism then they deserve what they get, feel good speeches that mask bold faced lies and a second class nation. Mark my word, after America is run into the ground financially we will be offered a Global solution to save our butts and everybody will think it’s a miraculous solution.
Who need sovereignty or self sufficiency anyway? The only question I have is; will we still celebrate July 4th Independence Day whence we sell our liberty to the scrap collectors? Or is it already sold but we missed the sale?

Buffalohair: Than Shwe Runs to China
Than Shwe Runs to China
Posted in Asia with tags China, Corporatism, GM, Kim Jong II, Than Shwe, UN on June 9, 2009 by buffalohair
Kim and Than
Desperate for allies, the criminal regime of Burma lead by Gen. Than Shwe turned to *China in an attempt to garner more support for their on going acts of genocide. Also on the list of concerns is the sham trial of the elected leader of Burma Daw Aung San Suu Kyi fore it has truly backfired on him causing unprecedented international exposure.
Weeks earlier, the regime turned to North Korea for support and was rewarded with a distraction as Kim Jong II launched his impotent nuclear scare. Jong offered his nuclear distraction before when Burma came under the international microscope. The arrest and sham trial of two journalists was frosting on the cake as attention was diverted with Kim Jong’s saber rattling. But just like the sham trial of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi this only opened the door to questions about North Korea’s criminality and blatant human rights violations fore there are many.
Now Than Shwe is pandering for China’s support this is sure to open the door to questions about China’s continued human rights violations. Slave labor, corruption and the wholesale disregard for human life decorate China’s political landscape. And now that GM is going bankrupt in the US it is reveled that GM is also building plants in China with plans to sell cars in the US within a few years. Wal-Marts shelves are filled with Chinese goods. Yes, timing is everything and this was not what China wanted since it has many US industries moving there. Humvee was sold part and parcel to China in recent weeks as well and the list goes on.
With in excess of 80 million slaves in China’s Gulag system it’s a small wonder US and UK industries are cashing out and moving to China. Bail-Out money is being used to build new plants where there are no environmental or labor issues. The US and other nations are left struggle with economic issues caused by the shift to “cheaper pastures” such as China’s lucrative restriction free environment. The continued sham arrests of Falun Gong members as well as anyone who would dare to think outside of the box plague China’s storefront. Tiananmen Square still haunts China as this act of genocide is reviewed anew in the public’s eye. It will only be a matter of time before the world comes to realize the harsh reality of China’s slave labor camps and the US industries who are capitalizing on them.
The United Nations stands impotent as usual with more plans for sanctions while the Security Council sits idle. China has become the great stumbling block for Burma as they continue to oppose stiffer measures to quell the cancer that has infected Burma, Gen. Than Shwe. In all reality China should disqualify them self from any UN Security Council vote since they are profiteering from the corrupt government they are supposed to vote on. Truly their vote on any issue pertaining to Burma is a conflict of interests since they’ve sold billions of dollars in military hardware to assist Gen. Than Shwe’s campaign of ethnic cleansing. As time marches on China will come under the scrutiny of the world as whole and it will become all too apparent that China is equally as guilty of crimes against humanity.
What is becoming apparent is the fact the general public is becoming educated about the atrocious activities of Gen. Than Shwe and not just politicians, like before. It is the people of the world who are coming to realize the horrific realities of Than Shwe’s regime. They are coming to realize the power they have as “consumers” as well. China does not need this kind of exposure since they’ve become addicted to the axiom of International Corporatism or Globalization. They have become ensnared in the greatest Ponzi Scheme in world history and inadvertently became co-dependant on the consumers of the world and change purse. China has embraced fascism unwittingly in the greedy race for corporate gold.
Communism has become an ideology in the past tense as greed becomes the axiom of the future.
It is inevitable war will finally break out across the globe, or has it already? It’s only a matter of time before someone connects the dots and revels the fact the world is AT war and it’s all about the money and economics as usual. China is poised for revolution whence China’s attention is focused on external enemies. Regardless of China’s secret blockade of hard news it will soon become clear that all is not well in China fore there is a sleeping dragon about to awaken. International Corporatism better known as Globalization will also be exposed for what it really is and world leaders will also come under scrutiny for selling out their nations for the corporate bottom line.
It’s called the domino effects and leave it to a criminals like Gen. Than Shwe and his crony Kim Jong II to cause a spontaneous chain reaction that will soon lead to a world war. The Two Stooges of Asia, Than and Kim opened a Pandora’s Box and there is no closing it now. In visions it is said “Empires will fall and material wealth will be meaningless” during the time of change. It is also said “The meek shall inherit the Earth”. I say, “What comes around goes around”.

Buffalohair: Tension on all Fronts’, Burma
Buffalohair: Tension on all Fronts’, Burma
Tension on all Fronts’, Burma
Posted in Asia with tags ASEAN, Aung San Suu Kyi, KIA, Shan Army, Wa Army on May 27, 2009 by buffalohair
May 30th
With tensions mounting between the Burmese Military and the Kachin Independence Army, news of Anti-Naypyitaw-Shan State Army, (SSA ) ‘South’ successful ambush of Mongzern Militia was not well received. Trucks and equipment were destroyed with 15 casualties. 2 Burmese Army Military Affairs Security (MAS officers were among the dead. *One report noted SAA defector Col, Mongzern was also in the body count. The United Wa State Army tossed the junta’s offer to be border cops in the fire and is quietly sharpening their knives. The general public, though reserved and unassuming, is livid and filled with anger over the sham trial of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. This anger has permeated all quarters of Burmese society with unprecedented ferocity. This is quite a roadmap to democracy.
Fearful, the junta has turned its guns on their own ranks looking for potential sympathizers. The generals have declared war on their own soldiers. Its ironic soldiers do the junta’s dirty work while the generals reap all the bounty. It’s laughable that better than 80% of the military including Than Shwe’s circle of friends favor change. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations **(Asean) made a rare public condemnation of Burma and its trial of Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. Asean also warned that Burma’s honor and credibility were at stake at this juncture. Than Shwe’s zeal to slander and imprison Aung San Suu Kyi ahead of the 2010 Election was all too obvious. But in reality the junta’s conduct had not really changed with all this attention though. Its business as usual only this time we get a bird’s eye view.

Than Shwe Awakens the Fighting Peacock
Posted in Asia with tags Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma, Than Shwe on May 16, 2009 by buffalohair
suukyi5
Its business as usual for the corrupt government of Burma as Gen. Than Shwe prepares for another jury-rigged trial. The target of his wrath will undoubtedly be charged with a specially prepared criminal offence to guarantee an expedient conviction. The victim of Burma’s kangaroo system will be whisked away to a desolate jungle prison and tortured weekly as usual. The attorney’s who represented their client would face criminal charges for defending a criminal and spend some time in the clink for their efforts.
For Than Shwe the clock was ticking as the proposed 2010 election moved closer. With thousands of people safely in jungle prisons & jails or dead the junta was hopeful they will win, this time. The only obstacle that stood in their way was a woman (Daw Aung San Suu Kyi) who won the last election before being placed under house arrest for the crime of winning a land slide victory. Running out of excuses, the junta was seeking a more legitimate looking reason to keep her incarcerated. They realized that if Aung San Suu Kyi were released before the election the junta would surely loose. Then along came John William Yettaw, the notorious Suu Kyi Swimmer.
Ecstatic, the junta fired up its propaganda machine and began a multi media smear campaign to tarnish the reputation of the jailed leader of Burma. Two prominent attorneys’, Aung Thein and Khin Maung Shein, applied to represent Aung San Suu Kyi in the pending case. They were promptly dismissed from Burma’s Bar and their licenses to practice law were revoked. There is no question they soon will be in jail for volunteering their services to Aung San Suu Kyi. The duo served time for defending other political activists in the past. Than Shwe’s roadmap to democracy, an elaborate charade.
Though the charges against Suu Kyi were weak the junta was comfortable with the merits of the case since they’ve convicted thousands of other people with impunity in the past. All the junta needed was an excuse and unwittingly John William Yattaw provided the perfect ruse. Than Shwe’s roadmap to democracy has become a superhighway of deceit, death and debauchery. Smugly the military junta awaits Aung Suu Kyi’s trial since it will show the people of Burma and the world that the military regime still is in absolute control. But unlike all the other incidents this one will not go as planned.
Never before has there been so much attention focused on the criminal activities of Than Shwe. Unlike past events that occurred with little fanfare Than Shwe inadvertently rallied more attention than ever before. Now it’s not just a few politicians and a couple activists who are aware of his crimes against humanity. People from all walks of life people are talking about Burma, Aung San Suu Kyi and Than Shwe. People who only a week ago did not have a clue where Burma was are learning more and more about this country and its merry band of murderers. They are also more inquisitive about the outside investors who’ve profiteered on the blood of this hapless nation. People also want to know why their politicians have not done anything to stop Burma’s holocaust. It would appear this event has sparked a wildfire of concern that will not be easily extinguished in the foreseeable future since it’s getting hotter.
The more Than Shwe maneuvers the more he exposes his absolute fear and paranoia. Like a person struggling to get out of quick sand, Than Shwe is finding himself getting deeper and deeper in a quagmire of his own design. His inner circle keeps changing as he shifts from one suspicion to another further alienating his original core. His plan to demote and turn army’s of the ceasefire groups into border guards is not going well. These states do not want to be infiltrated, divided up then neutralized like his plan calls for. Ceasefire groups who’ve already accepted their demotion to border guard are suffering mass desertions because the Burmese Army uses them as slaves. The Burmese Army is in turmoil as well since the generals live lavishly on Nargis and other humanitarian aid leaving the foot soldier in poverty. So if they treat their own like this, ceasefire groups will fare much less whence they lay down their arms.
The Fighting Peacock has awakened within Burma and people on the streets feel it. On the outside Burma Democratic Concern as well as 71 other democracy groups from around the world are organizing a world wide response to Than Shwe’s latest assault on Aung San Suu Kyi and democracy on Monday the 18th. With awareness at an all time high this is the time for the voice of the people to be heard loud and clear. Its not just about the politicians anymore its about humanity and the cry for freedom that was once ignored. The Global Day of Action for Burma will further raise awareness as well as send a message from the voting public from around the world.
But you must give Than Shwe credit since he was the one who tipped his hand exposing the desperation and futility that is haunting his regime. Forever paranoid and forever fearful of retribution that awaits him Than Shwe knows his days are numbered. Everything has a price; no one rides for free and now is the time for Than Shwe to pay his bill. Destiny awaits those who dare to embrace it rather than run from it. This is the time of great change and Burma is a good place to start.

Posted: 15 May 2009 11:08 AM PDT
On 6th of May, an American citizen was detained by Burmese military regime after secretly swimming across Inya Lake, Rangoon to gain access to the Nobel Laureate’s House. According to the official Burmese media, he was identified as 53-year old former military serviceman John William Yettaw of Falcon, Missouri, USA. On 13th of May, American diplomat was allowed to meet with him. Although his motives for the alleged lake exploits remain unclear, it caused the Nobel Peace Prize winner, Aung San Suu Kyi to serve jail terms under the anti-subversion laws.
Aung San Suu Kyi has spent most of the past 19 years detained in virtual isolation in her crumbing compound since the junta refused to recognize her party’s landslide victory in the country’s last election in 1990. Her last period of detention at her home expires at the end of May. This expiration of six years of house arrest, without trail or charge or even figleaf of legal respectability, was to have yanked away from the generals.
Now, due to the uninvited access to her compound by American citizen, the military generals no longer need to trouble themselves with legal niceties and it has given them a ready-made reason to imprison the most prominent political prisoner up for at least another five years. It would perfectly play into the hands of the junta if the United States of America and international community do not stand up with the People of Burma who have been oppressed by the junta for several years.
Therefore, we call upon the international community and overseas Burmese people around the world to the global action for Free Aung San Suu Kyi. Demonstrations and a number of activities will take place in different countries. We would like to encourage everyone to join with us to show solidarity and unity.

Buffalohair: Insein’s Newest Guest
Insein’s Newest Guest
Posted in Asia with tags Aung San Suu Kyi, Insein Prison, Than Shwe on May 14, 2009 by buffalohair
Aung San Suu Kyi
Aung San Suu Kyi was lead away from her home by government security forces. *Her destination, Burma’s chamber of horrors, Insein Prison. She will await trial then into a cell to serve out her sentence in Burma’s corrupt kangaroo court system. With no concern for justice or the law Than Shwe has concocted a scheme to break the back of the democracy movement within Burma. His failure to persuade ethnic cease fire groups to become fanciful porters and border lackeys was a major set back on his roadmap to total domination. But not all was lost fore he succeeded in arresting Aung San Suu Kyi on bogus charges in an effort to assert his authority and assure a victory in the illegal 2010 election. And the world looks impotently at yet another horrendous act of inhumanity and absolute corruption.
Than Shwe’s propaganda machines have been turning out some wild stories and it is my suggestion they find jobs in Hollywood. The scripts would almost make a B-Rated movie as ridiculous as the stories are. Of course Than Shwe is throwing in a race card to try and rally support for his lies. His lackey’s speak about morality, virtue and the scarlet woman Aung San Suu Kyi. Guess the wholesale murder of ethnic minorities is not as immoral as having someone intruding in your privacy without your permission. Bombing and maiming innocent men, women and children is just a walk in the park. Spreading vile and incurable diseases to cull the opposition and eliminate villagers also meets higher moral standards. Having sex with children then butchering them to death is exempt from moral scrutiny in the junta’s eyes. Child soldiers stand as a testament to Than Shwe’s concern for the youth of his nation and slaves continue to be killed when they can’t work. Yes, Than Shwe is the pillar of the community, provided you live in hell.
So let the junta spread their vile lies about Aung San Suu Kyi. It is only themselves they are trying to fool fore the world already knows the truth. Than Shwe and his criminal regime are a lie and a fraud. And now the ball is in the court of the international community. It is time to put up your money where your mouth is. The days of rhetoric and feel good speeches have come to no avail. The people of Burma have made their voices heard at great risk to their lives and civil liberties.
With volumes of videos, pictures and eye witnesses surely there is one scrap of evidence that could be used in a court of law. Maybe the facts are too harsh and distasteful to think about because of the gruesome and violent nature in which people were killed by the Burmese Army. How grizzly does a murder have to be before it is a punishable offence under international law? What exactly has to happen to justify a comprehensive world wide response? Obviously morality, humanity and the democratic voice of a nation has little influence in today’s world. Small wonder the world is faced with an unprecedented financial disaster fore money is the only motivator in world politics. It’s all about the money.
I know if I was in their position I would be looking towards my friends to help me out. After all, that’s what friends do, at least in my side of the street. Burma was a critical ally during WWII. Now we sit paralyzed in fear of upsetting the ox cart of lucratively in Asian markets. At one time life was considered priceless, now it’s considered collateral damage and a side bar in the grand scheme of things. If we turn our back on Burma at this juncture, we’ve sold our soul to the devil and we will be rewarded accordingly, in the grand scheme of things. If we don’t stand for humanity there is no civilization.

Jurisprudence Than Shwe Style
Posted in Asia with tags Aung San Suu Kyi, Rangoon Swimmer, Than Shwe on May 13, 2009 by buffalohair
Than Justice
In spite of eye witnesses to the intrusion of *Daw Aung Suu Kyi’s home by swimmer John William Yeattaw, the military junta is eager to get the wheels of justice rolling. They are seeking 3 years prison time for Aung San Suu Kyi on the grounds she violated the terms of her house arrest. It all boils down to this; the junta is desperate to get Aung San Suu Kyi out of sight and out of mind before the 2010 election. Sadly the cat is out of the bag and Than Shwe’s world is under the microscope like never before. He may not care but investors who’ve kept in the shadows will soon be the fodder of public scrutiny.
The junta’s plan to turn all cease fire groups in to border guards and infiltrate their homelands has hit a major snag. The **Wa found the terms totally unacceptable on many levels and it is a sure bet the other cease fire groups will read between the lines. They will discover Than Shwe’s scheme to infiltrate, dissect and neutralize them over a period of time. The National League for Democracy as well as the myriad of pro democracy organizations and associations are military objectives just as armed ethnic cease fire groups are. Aung San Suu Kyi is a symbolic military objective. By defaming and debasing her Than Shwe believes he can break the spirit of the democracy movement. Incarcerating the iconic figure and hiding her in the jungle like the other prominent political figures is than Shwe’s ultimate objective.
In another story a ***United Wa State Army official punched the lights out of a visiting Military Affairs Security (MAS) corporal over a sexual assault on a girl in his region. Seems the smart mouth thug from Naypyidaw thought it was OK to assault a young girl. The Wa officer did not find any humor in the punks reasoning. The punk told the Wa officer that the incident was none of his business and that the girl was not from his tribe anyway so why should he care. That’s when the Wa officer socked the mouthy corporal and knocked him on his ass. It’s funny how the junta tries to use race or religion to start trouble between groups.
Then there is the story of ****Brigadier General Kaung Myat, Commander of No. 5 Military Operations Command, Taungoke, Arakan State. He was a very zealous and productive chum of Than Shwe. In his area of operation he was notorious for his aggressive use of slaves in construction projects. As we all know, there is no saying no to the military fore it is death if you do. In any event Generalissimo Kaung Myat and his personal security force were on their way to Bawgaligyi. Down the bumpy road they went until they accidentally ran into the “Bad Boyz of the KNLA 2nd Brigade”. Needless to say the Boyz from the Hood cleaned house and they did not get a scratch. As for the general and his crew, let’s just say they died like true gangsters.

Junta is Plotting the Ploy to Prison Aung San Suu Kyi
BDC
12 May 2009Aung San Suu Kyi is ailing but junta denied giving proper medical treatment. Junta’s shear brutality has reached epic perorations in senseless crimes against humanity by denying giving proper medical treatment to ailing Aung San Suu Kyi.
The criminal regime of Than Shwe has crossed the boundaries of morality as well as sanity.
Aung San Suu Kyi’s party, NLD, won landslide victory in 1990 general election but regime still ignore to honour it. Instead put Aung San Suu Kyi under house arrest and she has spent 13 of the last 19 years.
Aung San Suu Kyi’s detention expired for continuous five years and regime extended another year even though under 1975 Emergency Law Section 10(
does not allow anyone to detain more than five consecutive years. Junta is violating its own so-called law by extending her detention another year. Aung San Suu Kyi will complete six years of continuous detention on 27 May 2009.
According to the sources close to the military, there would be possibility of charging Aung San Suu Kyi relating to the swimmer incident which could end up imprisonment.
Junta is plotting the ploy to prison Aung San Suu Kyi.
International community has a moral responsibility to intervene on behalf of humanity.

Buffalohair: 3 Year Sentence for Aung San Suu Kyi?
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
Than Reaper
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.
As another journalist said earlier this week; “Only Aung San Suu Kyi will know the real truth” As we all know, the military junta and its publication “The New Light of Myanmar” are nothing more than propaganda machines filled with lies and fabrications. So be prepared for more sewage from the desk of Gen. Than Shwe fore the next round will surely be filled with salacious material in an effort to disgrace Aung San Suu Kyi. This will coincide with the efforts of the military junta to place Aung San Suu Kyi in prison for 3 years. After all, this is what it’s all about, eliminating ALL opposition to the illegal 2010 election.
