This blogger has decided not to write a post today as, he does not want to be in the list of blogoholic. However to day’s news of bulletocracy, given to Tibet people by Communist Chinese government brought this blogger’s hands back to the keyboard .

Coincidently, Aljazeera news has broadcasted the footage of Tibet people revolt against Chinese imperialist. Later, in another slot, Aljazeera brought this blogger back to Saffron revolution of Burma.

News from DVB said in Rangoon, there were several Military Trucks, Fire Engines, and Armored Personal Carriers, patrolling like war zone. News from Mizzima said there were Soldiers, police and Pro junta Thugs taking position in darkness of downtown Rangoon, until dawn.

That is not coincidence in this blogger’s opinion. Burmese Generals were sending troops not to protect Burmese people instead, flexing its military might to remind unarmed Burmese people not to start another revolution.

This blogger believes that Burmese Junta might know what was happening in Tibet earlier than press from special hot line from their Masters. China can not afford to take two revolts in its special autonomic territory, namely Tibet and Burma. So the Imperialist Government of China might have pulled the strings of it’s puppets in Nay Pyi Daw to crush the any possible revolution.

That is the reason why people of Rangoon are seeing Chinese made army trucks and APCs roaming in downtown Rangoon.

To prevent the outcry of International Community for action and inaction of Communist Government of China before Olympic is the most important priority . The solution from Chinese Communist Government and its puppets for those asking their freedom is bulletocracy.

Read the following excerpts from AP news

BEIJING – China ordered tourists out of Tibet’s capital Saturday while troops on foot and in armored vehicles patrolled the streets and confined government workers to their offices, a day after riots that a Tibetan exile group said left at least 30 protesters dead.

The demonstrations against Chinese rule of Tibet are the largest and most violent in the region in nearly two decades. They have spread to other areas of China as well as neighboring Nepal and India.

So Chinese Authority would make sure that it will not spread to Burma, which is still under watchful eyes of international community

Time to Start Radio Campaign for Free Burma

o

Only thing we need is more ” Air Time “

Ordinary Burmese can buy this kind of Radio Cassette

This blogger has posted variety and numerous posts in this web-log. Almost all were telling readers how bad was the Military Junta of Burma, how Burmese people suffers under the Dictatorial regime, and statements of the pro democracy movements and news of ongoing campaign against the Military Junta.

However, this blogger feels that it would be very lucky if these posts are read by one percent of Burmese people staying inside the country. This blogger who is a Burmese, however unable to type in Burmese language fast enough to create a post.So, What are the numbers of my own countrymen received this blogger’s message? It will be very insignificant.

There are wonderful young and energetic Burmese bloggers who have been posting very relevant and interesting opinion in Burmese language .

Military Junta has effectively blocked the work of most famous Burmese bloggers (blogger.com). Arrest of Burmese blogger Nay Phone Latt, Burmese poet Ko Saw Way and recent arrest of Myanmar Nation’s journalists were systematic attack to Free Press and Internet Blogs by terror and fear.

At the same time Junta has declared referendum to be started by May,2008. This is also well planned and calculated attack to pro democracy movement. All of us out here understand that “this referendum” is going to be a sham. However Burmese people are at gun point, and it will be very difficult for them not to follow Junta’s orders as their utmost priority will be to survive the every single harsh day.

For them, Rambo is easy to understand than referendum. Constitution of Burma, which is so vital for future Burma may be something difficult to understand. ( I am well aware of existence of awakened Burmese in rural area) Majority of Burmese are farmers and from rural areas with so much difficulty for day to day survival.

Only way this blogger could think of is that the information relating referendum and constitution to be spread among the Burmese people through radios. The recent news of Burmese from Korea donated radios to Burmese people at border is a very significant move for freedom of Burma.

Now, DVB, RFA, which are run by exile Burmese groups should increase the radio campaign, with simple and straight forward news and programs about importance of referendum and constitution. These program should be started as soon as possible.

We should seek help from VOA,BBC, Aljazeera and CNN to get more news coverage of Burma and more slot of live discussions about freedom of Burma. These program should be able to download from Internet locally and must be able to distribute with Burmese subtitle in pirated VCDs. ( If Burmese can put Korean Movie with Burmese sub title there is no reason that we are unable to add subtitle to these useful discussions which is for urban population)

This blogger feels that this is the high time to start radio campaign for free Burma, as radios are cheap, easily available for majority of Burmese staying in rural area of Burma.

Let us start the Radio campaign for Free Burma.

The Good king of the country never kills his people; protest in Burma.

“The Good kings, The real Gentlemen, The respectable men are the not cunning people and never torture or kill the defenseless people of their country including the Monks”

That was written in one of the posters hold by the twelve youth from the NLD party, in a brief peaceful protest during the celebration of 60^th Anniversary of Burma Independence.

All of them were arrested in August- September uprising and later released by the Military Junta.

The youth (eight male and four female) wore the blue color prison uniforms, and hold their hands in the handcuffed position, as a symbolic defiance against the Military Junta.

At their back were pasted posters saying “Release all the political prisoners” and “We support the peaceful national reconciliation talks” during their brief protest in front of the NLD Head Office, in Rangoon..

Zarganar said DJ Disease deeply rooted in the Military Junta of Burma!

DVB (Democratic Voice of Burma) http://burmese.dvb.no/news.php?id=3412

has recently interviewed the activist comedian Zarganar asking his opinion regarding the steep rise of the Satellite TV fees in Burma.

He disagreed with the rumors circulating that the Gamblers, who were betting on the premier league football games, were affected by the new price increase.

He explained that in Burma there are two types of Satellite dishes, 8 feet and 2 feet versions respectively named (according to the diameter of dishes).

The majority of the ordinary Burmese will go for 8 feet version which is cheaper, and mainly for the purpose of watching and listening to the DVB and RFA and BBC channels.

(The Gamblers in Burma were relying on the Pay TV channels by using 2 feet dishes, which were not included in the new one million kyat a year rule)

The Junta Government’s targeting of the 8 feet Satellite dishes reflected their intention of blocking the free flow of media to the Burmese people.

One million Kyat a year fees levied on the 8 feet satellite dish users, is too much for the Burmese, and Zarganar requested that the authorities stop this foolish act, as the actual cost of a dish and a decoder is only half a million kyat.

Zarganar sarcastically said that the Junta Government seems to be ashamed of officially declaring the price hike. Instead, they ordered the Swan Ah Shin, and Kyant Phut (Junta Thugs) and local authorities to check the list of houses with Satellite Dishes in their respective areas.

When DVB asked Zarganar whether he thinks Burmese Junta will be able to block the free flow of information in the 21^st Century…

He replied that it will make people more curious as Burmese people will go to the places where they can listen and watch and felt that DVB and other news channels will eventually make Burmese News more interesting for the Burmese people.

In the end, he said, there will be more pirated news VCDs available for the Burmese people for the news they would really love to know.

In answering the Question “Why the Military Junta wants to block the DVB and other news channels”, he said that Burmese people cried when they saw footage of the Interview with the two Monks holding their bruised heads. The authorities are afraid the peoples’ anger will turn towards them more and more, after seeing these kinds of tortures and atrocities.

Finally he concluded the Interview by saying Burmese authorities have DJ disease.

When asked what he means by the DJ disease, he replied, D is for Depression combined with J for Jealousy- this is the disease deeply rooted in the Military Junta of Burma.

This is just an abstract of the real interview in Burmese. To read the full text of DVB interview with Zarganar at
