BURMA
2

There now are quite a few
Burma-supportive
pro-democracy demonstrations
being planned in Australia, Canada, France, India, New Zealand, the UK, the US, and other countries.

Meantime, I discovered a couple of facts:

It's not the people of Burma who voted to change the name of their country, but the military tyrants that rule them.

Also.....a pro-democracy ruler was elected some years ago, but those same military tyrants promptly proceeded to put her in jail, where she resides to this day.

Burma is almost totally Buddhist, which really surprised me. No Islamofascists. Just military tyrants who seem to have destroyed what was once a booming economy, by forcing socialism on the population.

Those military tyrants are quite wealthy themselves, it seems, while the rest of the population (about 50 million of them) live way below the poverty-level.

Astrologers are said to guide the military tyrants and to make some of the country's decisions for them.

Just like in Sudan, a whole lot of people seem to have been ethnic-cleansed out of areas where foreigners hope to invest in hydropower and other profitable goodies.

There exists a very large child-army, which, of course, is against international law.

All of this has been going on since the British gave Burma its independence 60 years ago, yet no one talks about it or writes about it or does anything at all, about it. Not even at the schtoopid and totally useless United Fuckin' Nations.

ON EDIT: ....it has now come to light that Burma's military tyrants have burned all of the protestors' bodies in a crematorium, which means that no one on earth will ever know how many were executed.
