War Crime Tribunal for Charles Taylor of Liberia, Crimes against Humanity.

Once he was a president now is a Criminal !

Excerpt from CNN

THE HAGUE, Netherlands (CNN) — Former Liberian President Charles Taylor appeared in court Monday at the resumption of his war crimes trial, six months after boycotting the opening session and calling the trial a “charade.”

He did not speak.

The first witness Monday was Canadian author Ian Smillie, who is considered an expert in the trade of blood diamonds, so called because funds from their sale fuel African rebel groups. He was testifying for the prosecution, explaining how the trade in ‘blood diamonds’ exacerbated the conflict.

Taylor, who was president of Liberia from 1997 to 2003, is charged with five counts of crimes against humanity, including murder, sexual slavery and violence, and enslavement. He also faces five counts of war crimes, including acts of terrorism and torture, and one count of other serious violations of international humanitarian law.

Taylor is accused of fueling a bloody civil war in Sierra Leone that led to widespread murder, rape, and mutilation. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

The war, which involved riches from the diamond trade, was fought largely by teenagers who were forced to kill, given addictive drugs to provoke violent behavior, and often instructed to rape and plunder.

Gambari happy with Junta. Revered Monk U Gmabira and, Su Su Nwe arrested

The UN special envoy to Myanmar has given the Security Council an upbeat report on his recent trip to the military-ruled country.

Ibrahim Gambari said on Tuesday the situation in the country was “qualitatively different” from a few weeks ago and he believed the government could respond to international pressure for democratic reforms.

On the same day he gave his positive report, however, activist Su Su Nway was arrested in Yangon, Myanmar’s biggest city, after being on the run since the army crushed protests in September, an opposition source said.

“She was arrested this afternoon while she was trying to put some anti-government pamphlets in place,” the source, who did not wish to be identified, told AFP.

Su Su Nway, 35, had been in hiding since leading a protest in Yangon in late August over government demonstrations since 1988.

Myanmar security forces have arrested another prominent anti-government activists – a Buddhist monk Revered U Gambira, fellow dissidents said Tuesday.

U Gambira, a Buddhist monk who helped lead demonstrations in Yangon that were crushed by the military junta, was arrested several days ago, exiled Myanmar dissidents in Thailand said.

The United States and other Western countries deplored the arrests during a U.N. Security Council meeting, saying they raised doubts about the ruling junta’s sincerity in moving toward democracy and cooperating with the United Nations.

So, Mr Gambari ( U Kyauk Yu Pyan) why are you are so optimistic about Bumese Genrerals? I am a cautious pessimist when it comes to the Burmese Generals who never keep their promise in their history.

AUNG SAN SU KYI UNWELL. Overseas Group accused she was poisoned!

Updated 9/01/2008

The news, accusing that Daw Aung San Suu Kyi has been poisoned through the water she drinks, has been circulating in this blogosphere for few days. However, this type of news are very difficult to be independently confirmed.

After watching at Benazir Bhutto’s assassination, what this blogger can safely say is “She is at Risk”.

The Following is the old post, posted on 7.11.2007

Burma’s detained opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, was visited twice by a doctor at the weekend in an unusual break from the regime-ordained routine, which allows her only two medical calls a month.

According to Irrawady news,Nyan Win, spokesman of her National League for Democracy, said it wasn’t known why Suu Kyi needed medical treatment, but he had been told she was now better.

“Her heath is important not only for herself but also for the country,” he said.

However, a group of Monks studying in Sri Lanka issued a statement that Daw Aug Su Kyi has been given poison by the Junta, that makes her ill.

The blogger can not confirm that accusations. But recently Russian spies successfully assasinated a vocal critic in UK by giving radioactive substance. Also one of the liberated, Ex USSR empire PMs, was given same kind of poison. However he survived. Burmese Junta might have some good formula from their counterpart in Russia.

2. Tay Za Sons and how they spend the Burmese Money

3. Panties  for Peace game

We need to move on… We should not waste our time just watching how Tay Za’s family staying in luxury…but at the same time, at home people are starving, detained, and tortured. Generals are buying time…so the time is running out for the more Important issue which is the FREEDOM OF BURMA.

Please don’t waste your time. Do something for your mother land Right Now…If you really love your Country.

Jade warehouses to be ready for sale. Junta’s way of making money!

Source Myanmar Times   TWO jade warehouses out of nine being built in Yangon to accommodate miners from upper Myanmar will be ready for the Myanma Gem Enterprise’s mid-year emporium next month, an engineer with the YCDC said.An MGE official last week said new accommodation for foreign gem and jade merchants was also planned, including a hotel to be built near the Myanmar Convention Centre – where the MGE holds its sales – by Ruby Dragon Co., Ltd, which operates several jade and gem mines in upper Myanma

This is a very simple example of how Generals make money.  While majority of public has no access to regular electricity, unable to go to work as they can not afford the bus fare, the Generals and their proxies are using the private jets and helicopters ordering Pitzas and KfC from neighbouring countries, using their own home delivery service.

 When the General catch a cold they get treatment not in Burma but in a neighbouring country. Generals  wives can go for shopping in the tax free shopping haven countries, and Children of them can go back home every weekend from overseas.

Politics of Burma in near future will be more dynamic in  favour of oppressed people of the Burma as enormous injustice has been done done by the Junta . Their evil deeds will push them towards their destiny: The Hell!

Greetings dear comrade. This is such a wonderful site, just like what they say about meals, a wholesome site The Burmese Diasporas could keep fighting this illegitimate government made up of military dogs (I am in no way insulting the dogs, SPCA pls take note) if only we have a united front and take action. These bastards will one day face justice, but the golden question for our golden motherland is, When? It’s a question I ask myself. Freedom , justice and liberty lose out by default because good people do nothing, they just keep quiet and hope for things to change while keep on living in their wonderful life, fear of doing anything coz this act of defiance could alter their ease in life. Lets all work together, I need you, we need each other, after all, we are just mere davids against goliath. There come a time in life where we must choose between two evils for us to survive, a violent over thrown of the regime or just keep quiet and let evil flourish, while thousands of more lives parish without a trace. Take the lesser of two evils, which is to overthrow the scum of earth. Plz keep up the struggle, your blog is like a medicine to my burning heart. Thanx. Audentis fortuna iuvat!

Par Par Lay’s famous joke.

Pa Pa Lay’s, most famous joke is as follows

” Pa Pa Lay ( The Comedian) went to India for the Dental treatment.

Indian Dental Surgeon was quite surprised as Pa Pa Lay came all the way from Burma to India, just for a simple Dental treatment. Then he asked ” Don’t you have Dental Surgeons in Burma?”

Pa Pa Lay replied ” Yes Sir, but they were unable to work as Burmese people are ordered not to open their mouth by the Military Government of Burma”

This is the one of the famous jokes of the comedian U Pa Pa Lay. He was released from the Oh Boe Jail of Manadalay at 9:00 pm, 29.10.2007.

I hope the readers will participate in this blog appreciating the sacrifice of the artists like Zarganar, Kyaw Thu and Pa Pa Lay and also denounce the pro junta artists.

One Response to “Pa Pa Lay’s famous joke.”

Than Shwe the Killer!

Than Shwe the killer!

It was written, using white paint, spreading the width of the highway, near ZeeGoone Police Station in Pegu Division which is next to Rangoon.

The same defiant writings were seen in five different locations around the area. Later, the Police special squad came in, took photographs and cleaned it, according to DVB.

But nobody will be able to clean or delete from the History of Burma, of the true fact, “Than Shwe is the killer.”

Zarganar arrested again!

According to DVB the famous pro democracy artist Zarganar was rearrested on 29.10.2007 at 3:00 pm from his home. The family was ordered not to tell the media about rearrest, by the authority.

According to the latest news from Burma Zarganar was released on 30.10.2007.

Since the link to  Zarganar ‘s  blog was unable to confirm the authenticity, it is suspended from this blog until the further notice.

Dear Friends of Burmese people, do you know these facts?

Condoleeza Rice, Secretary of States of United states, is a board of Director of huge American company,  Chevron, which is a part of consortium with the French company, Total, that operates in Myanmar offshore oil- fields.

The gas from these fields is exported through a pipeline that was built with forced labour and whose construction involved Halliburton. of which Vice President Cheney was chief executive!

British tour firms such as Orient Explorer are able to make handsome profit on the suffering of Myanmar people.

Aquatic, a sort of mini- Hallibuton, has its snout in the same tough. together with Rolls-Royce and others that use Burmese teak.

Unlike China, Russia, India, Thailand, and Singapore, these Companies involvement with the Junta is not known to the most of the Burmese.

However , according to John Pilger, who interviewed Daw Aung San Su Kyi, a decade ago, read a foreign office press release that said ” through commercial contracts with democratic nations such as Britain, the Burmese people  will gain experience of democratic priciples”. Daw Aung san Su Kyi smiled sardonically and said ” Not a bit of it” .That was ten years ago.

 In his  article,  ” West’s hypocrisy over Myanmar” published in  the Guardian , the author asked…

When did a British prime-minister calls on its ally and client, Israel, to end its long and sinister relationship with Myanmar Junta?Or does Israel’s Immunity and Impunity also cover its supply of weapons technology to Myanmar and its reported training of the most feared internal security thugs?

The Australian government so vocal in its condemnation of the Junta has not stopped the Australian Federal Police training Myanmar’s internal security force!

The authors said ” Those who care for freedom of Burma, must be not distracted by the posturing and weasel pronouncement of our leaders, who themselves should be called to account as accomplices.”

Burmese” bravest of the brave bring shame to those who help feed junta”!
