Madam
A UK.org committee has decided it would not be in
the interest of Burma to place your comments into the
pubic domain at this point in time, but retains the
right to include it in its opprobrious catalogue which
is displayed in our library for all of our members to
learn from, especially our Burmese members. it
gives them an indication as to the many reasons
democracy is held back in Burma. It is not only
the SPDC who prevent freedom, but blame also is placed
firmly on the backs of people like you, who are so
blinded by reality, that you do not give the time to
study the history of your own country, but instead
listen to others who are simply chasing their own
ego's, and they use people like yourself as tools.
If madam, you prefer we write in Burmese, we
would be glad to pass this subject to our Burma
section?
However, It would be a learning period
for you, if you were to visit the web page of the PDP
and learn something about your own history.

Mr. Shwe
We have been in the
human rights struggle for 46 years, covering the whole
world and are in the business of encouraging people to
speak their minds, more so when it involves human
rights. We try to encourage people to solve their own
problems through political dialogue, which means
parties in opposition, who are confronted with the
same common tyrannical oppression, and this does, as
in any democracy, mean treading on controversial
ground. However, your inapprehensible behaviour
in regard to your own countries history, and certainly
toward UK.org, which you portrayed in your response to
a comment made by one of our members, quite clearly
shows your inadequacies. We will therefore, not
even attempt to educate you on your assumptions,
because we feel it would be wasted on you.
Thankfully, as a country, Burma does have in
its mist, more than enough extremely competent
individuals who are struggling very hard to make life
better for the likes of undeserving individuals like
yourself, who have played no part what so ever in
furthering Burma's movement to freedom, on the
contrary, its people like you who are delaying
progress.
You will we hope, learn as you go through
life. All we can hope for, that it's for the
good of Burma.
A UK.Org, committee will decide
if your comment and our reply should be posted on the
web and various media outlets allowing for the world
and of course your own country men/women, to assess
your opinions themselves, and see how they respond to
your juvenile politics.
Regards

THE
'NATIONAL' CAMOUFLAGE
I read with both
humour and frustration, that some Burma
observers are a little perplexed in their
'attempts' to analyse the secretive and
shadowy regime. I further read that
disappointment and dismay is rampant because the
SPDC does not want to be exhibited itself in
Bangkok. These assumptions only show how naïve
many observers are. The SPDC is, and has
been predictable all the time. It's the
'timetable' of events which can vary. If
people took time to listen and learn instead of
opening their mouths before they engage their
brain, and face reality instead of dreaming,
then combating the SPDC will be possible.
But before that can happen people have to stop
shouting "let's form a group and suggest we
all unite". It's outrageously
pathetic. Its like a football team without
a captain, where each section, i.e. full backs -
wingers- forwards, create there own groups, and
suggest they unite with the other segments of
the SAME team. The common sense
thing of uniting the whole team, and then
electing a captain, appears to elude them,
causing even more divide amongst them. The
Burmese way seems to run parallel and is in tune
with the regimes game plan of divide and
rule. Why should the regime worry about
inflicting tactics when the pro-democracy
activists self inflict?
The
political game board as it stands today is,
without 'effective leadership, tactical
forward planning, or a workable infrastructure',
all prevented from operating by the
SPDC. The major players, in order to bring
democracy to Burma would be better served if
they followed the rules of engagement by first
organising their front line defences, for
example: The NLD, as prisoner of war, cannot
effectively operate inside the theatre of
battle, its logistical support ( NCGUB ) is in
tatters, where it too is ineffective even in
friendly territory. The battle is lost,
but the war is far from over.
It
must be assumed that the NLD leadership because
of its incarceration is not fully aware of its
perilous position, and this leaves the NLD in
the wilderness and the battleground open to
intimidation and attack.
The SPDC is
quite happy to witness more and more groups
being formed in an attempt to show more prongs
to the offensive, but an army of mix and match
running around in disarray with no central
control or direction creates more confusion
among its enemies and makes it easier to
disrupt.
Every one knows the major
problem with Burmese politics, everyone wants to
be leader, and the way of thinking is, "If I
can't be leader no one will". As a
westerner with a Burmese heritage, and I have
roamed around Burma many times, visiting
relatives, and collating information, I
find it very difficult not to openly insult the
intelligence of those who could be doing more if
only they dropped their own massive egos.
If in the case of all out nuclear war,
where all political parties and senior military
leaders are killed or incapacitated, a system of
inheritance takes affect. Individuals in
top industrial and commerce positions, who are
leaders in their own field, right down to floor
management, will be put into place to establish
order and planning.
In a monarchy where
perhaps all known heirs are killed, the search
for the next in line, no matter how far removed,
will take place if it means holding a nation
together. When no other solution can be
found because of internal bickering, then the
most logical way is to follow the rules of
inheritance.
There is the NLD, the PDP,
the only two major legitimate political
parties', I say legitimate meaning both party's
won elections, albeit the PDP was under a
different title when its leader U Nu was prime
minister, but the party at least, did hold
office before being ousted by Ne Win, so line of
inheritance is clear. Then there are the ethnic
nations, whose only entry into the fold should
be as a nation state represented by one major
National Burmese party, if they run as NLD, no
problem, providing it represents the whole
nation at a unified Burmese national level, and
not consisting of a multitude of different
groups, which should only represent local
government infrastructures and issues, if and
when Burma is united, and Burman splinter groups
to act accordingly.
Speaking
hypothetically; if we accept the position as
described above, it means in order to continue
the war; we must place a competent reserve
leadership at the helm. This leadership must
take over all aspects of the fight, which means
access to all systems and logistics. To do
this a front bench of leaders with experience
and knowledge of the whole picture should take
their positions accordingly. The legitimate and
most senior of political parties should elect a
cabinet from among themselves, leaving the chair
open to ASSK and the vice chair to
Burma's only other election party victor,
the PDP. This will create a clean cut
procedure with a 123 combination of steps that
even a child could follow. With this
system in place, a board of advisors can be
brought in, and there are plenty of qualified
candidates out there in the world. If this
could be agreed between parties, then I'm sure
funding would follow.
If something is not
done soon, the regime will move into its next
phase by holding an election. With or
without the selected group's; not that their
presence would change the course of action
anyhow. When the time comes, the regime
won't bother too much either, about the age of a
voter just so long as he/she can write a cross
in the right spot. The SPDC, being the
clever fellows they are, more so since the world
is firmly focused on it, have been busy for
years, impregnating the whole country otherwise
out of reach of pro-democracy groups, with
stories of its democracy building, and demanding
that the people should support them by
voting.
Because the regime has
created so many different political guises the
actual count is not necessary, but as far as the
people are concerned, they will believe a proper
choice was given to them. If this
succeeds, and every sign says it will, then all
the SPDC requires is a few million crosses on
paper whether from true belief of fair
elections, or under threat of death or
starvation. The results will be held in
front of the eyes of the world, with shouts of
victory at the polls. This in turn would appear
to have massively smashed any mandate the NLD
thinks it still holds. Who is going to
denounce an election result even if the world
does know exactly how it came about, certainly
not western democracies, it's not in their
interest, and they hold no powers to investigate
vote rigging. We did after all, stand by and
watched Iraqis one sided election, Zimbabwe's
one way election, and they are only two
examples, there many more.
The
impending convention absurdly prefixed by the
word national, 'house rules' would be more
appropriate, is and always has been for the sole
benefit of the military regime. The whole
convention is a ploy; the SPDC does not care one
hoot, if anyone else takes part, as it won't
interfere with their master plan.

CRIMINAL INTENT THROUGH
ASSOCIATION?
In many countries, democracies
mostly, associating with known criminals could be
regarded as collaboration with intent to commit or
assist in crime. Employers are always suspicious
of new staff if they have a criminal record.
People will break off friendships if one is
associated with crime, in fear of themselves
becoming suspect. Even a suspected criminal who
has no evidence against him/her, will suddenly lose
friends. No decent hard working person wants to be
associated in any way with the criminal
fraternity in fear of intimidation through
association.
I have perhaps over
expressed the word association, but much of
life's hardships and successes are caused or created by
association. As people we quickly learn who to
make friends with, and who not to associate with,
after all its who you know and not what you know,
as we say over here. In every day life our
relationship with others are nearly always drawn from
necessity, so, in the eyes of honest and decent people,
the only reason one would associate with a known
criminal is to assist with, or benefit from,
crime?
If this is the attitude of most civilised
societies, I use civilised as described in the English
dictionary, why do then, some of those societies
associate with Burma's SPDC or what ever title it
chooses to bestow upon itself? Surely, anyone
knowingly associating with mass murderers is
sharing the responsibility of the crime, and should be
regarded as such?
It is pure hypocrisy within a
civilised society, to condemn on the one hand, but to
associate as friends with the other? These people
are sanctioning horrendous crimes by their association
with the military regime in Burma and they all deserve
to be condemned as such! You simply cannot
compromise with people who slaughter at will. People who
would kill their own families if they became a risk to
them, just as Iraq's former dictator did, and he is only
one example of many in our life time.
Surely
enough time and pain has been endured to make the people
of Burma come out of the shadow of naivety and
gullibility, and realise that old ways of thinking and
superstitions are a tool used against them by their
masters, the SPDC, and others who are only in the game
for personal profit!
Passing
thought:
When an engine can no longer pull its
load, its time to replace it before it lets you down
completely. Allowing it to puff and ponder right
up to its melt down will be the same as floating down
the rapids of the Salween in a boat without a paddle,
placing your life into the hands of a powerful current,
in serious peril of hitting submerged rocks! Now
is the time to seek out and bring in a new engine, one
with vitality, bursting with power and can run at higher
revs than the last dared ever do without fear of
exploding.

The whole convention is a ploy; the SPDC does not care
one hoot, if anyone else takes part, as it won't
interfere with their master plan.
The
world tends to forget, indeed many of the voices from
Burma tend to forget, that only a minute fraction of the
population are aware what is going on in their own
country other than what is false fed to them by the
regime. Like the caged mouse nervously observing
the ground before venturing out for food, the people of
Burma are instinctively aware of predators but never
know exactly where, are who they are, so every step
outside is with risk. If all of a sudden a
predatory uniform is exchanged for civilian clothes, it
simply becomes the wolf in sheep's clothing as far as
the people are concerned, so their caution does not
lapse any, but the image of a civilian standing for
local election accompanied by all the trimmings of
pomp and ceremony, pre-empted over a long period by well
practised propaganda of how the world is praising the
regime for its apparent display of democracy building, a
person may be forgiven for being tricked into
unsuspectingly, or more to the truth, due to fear of
reprisal, vote for that suit. This in turn would
give the regime an element of validity in the eyes of
the world. It would be completely irrelevant as to
the real reason people voted, because in truth, the
world doesn't give a damn, so long as the regime is seen
to obtain a licence to operate in the form of a mandate
given by a majority, the world will no longer feel
guilty about trading with it. A fact, which once
again, is overlooked by many Burmese due to the lack of
knowledge in the art of coercion, and the real world,
and there must be no doubt, it is an art learned over
many years where sacrificial lambs are plentiful.
Tunnel vision, a trait of just about every
Burmese exile other than a few, is blocking out real
events behind the camouflage, and is displayed in most
of the reports or comments I have read over the
years. People are constantly writing about the
obvious, which is not constructive. To compete
against the snake one must move along the ground and
through the undergrowth, because the snake will not rise
to your level in fear of being caught in the open.
You must learn its ways, and become better at
them. The ethnics failed in their quest against
the regime because they did not learn how
too.
For those who are rejecting the Convention,
I say to you all, your decision to do so will show the
world just how the SPDC is working its trickery.
Although many of the foreign governments looking on are
well aware of their tactics, they will not interfere or
advise. But, by all sticking together, it is the
beginning of a vital learning period, where the only way
is forward. The next move would be, to unite and learn
from each other. Study the enemy in detail,
formulate a battle plan, and execute it from a united
front. A long process but workable. Many of the
regimes weaknesses are already known, so use them to
creep deeper into the corridors of its
powerbase...
Always stay alert for the
snake within!

ACT ON FACTS &
NOT FICTION
Facts are always more difficult to
accept. Fiction is what self imposed dreamers feed
from. Walk into any well stocked library, you will
quickly identify the realists and the dreamers, the
leaders and the followers, the brave and the scared, the
thinkers and the confused, and of course the
manipulators and the gullible. Even if people move among
other subjects they still reveal their true characters
through the eyes of the professional librarian, or the
astute observer.
It's all well and good for some
to suggest that by diverting or placing obstacles in the
path of any dealings with the SPDC, and by rejecting or
promoting absence from the proposed convention, is
wrong, no matter what the cost. Those people are,
in my humble view missing or most probable, ignoring,
some very important issues here. The
major one being, that you cannot enhance the fragrance
of a flower once it's in full bloom, this can only be
achieved by careful nursing and dedicated monitoring of
a young bud.
As with people it is impossible to deal
with those who are set in their ways, more so if they
feel secure in their present state, as every teenager
knows by the conflict of interest between their parents
and themselves. In the case of the SPDC, no deals will
ever come to fruition between them and the people, not
while they have the upper hand ( they will however
deal with neighbours where only involved parties will
profit ) because they do not want to accept the
present if it means surrendering their power, therefore
those of the present must deal with the next generation
of regime leaders, but this of course takes time,
possibly only after the deaths of the elders, unless
they themselves can be influenced by the next
generation, who in turn have been influenced by
pro-democracy dreams, and, providing their own inflicted
brainwashing has not gone to deep, in which case the
next step down the line must be considered. Freedom is a
long and painful process and Burma has not even begun
its journey to the first step because too many are
trying to make a name for themselves for profit, at the
expense of the people.
To expect any success
in dealing with the SPDC as it is today, with only the
NLD in opposition is pure fiction!
Any
growth in the SPDC's economic power house deriving from
entrapment and false images of elevating from its
position of power by conveniently releasing a couple of
NLD members from prison and by organising a convention,
appearing to draw sympathy from its neighbours, giving
them validity, is a travesty of honour and greatly
undermines the people of Burma and threatens to
permanently set the SPDC's power base for ever in steel
and concrete for as long as they choose. If that happens
the seedlings of future dictators will be so impregnated
with the genes of its predecessors that re
-fertilization would be impossible.
It would
appear that the economy and wealth of a few neighbouring
countries along with some individuals who stand to gain,
are more important than the well being of 50 million
inhabitants of Burma who will have precisely no say what
so ever in the course of events which will inherently
affect them?
To say that planned moves are
the only way forward for Burma is surely directed at the
naïve and the helpless? ( If one was to
snuggle up into a sleeping bag because his neighbour
told him not to worry about the rattle snake already
inside as it will not bite, then that person deserves to
get bitten and then to suffer the painful if not fatal
consequences of their idiocy.)
The NLD on its own
will get bitten if it snuggles up to the SPDC, no matter
how much they or their sympathizers indicate toward
their apparent passiveness. The venomous supremacy
of the SPDC will show itself eventually if they feel
vulnerable, no matter if millions fill the streets,
because like China, & as with events of 8/8/88 they
will be mowed down by machine guns, for it is not the
masses who strike fear into the regime; it's the few
clever intellectuals with cunning and tenacity in the
belief that there is only one right way of doing things
if Burma's future is to be secure with freedom of
rights. The biggest fear of the SPDC is of these few
special individuals getting together, their only grace
however, is at the moment these individuals are not
working from the same platform, an important step which
the people must promote!
Up until the
re-emergence of the PDP, the SPDC believed it held the
reigns of its only political opposition and could
therefore control the people by controlling the NLD and
ASSK. It succeeded very effectively, and then
along came the PDP. It's quite revealing really is
it not, out of all the new births of numerous groups,
many being formed only after the PDP tore away the
manacles, leading to many more voices speaking out, that
things began to move again. The last UK.org comment
mentioned; had the PDP not shown its flag when it did,
the SPDC would have terminated the NLD completely, which
was already well into its death throes, and who then,
would have, indeed, could have, carried on the
struggle?????????

TIME TO ALLIGN BEFORE THE WINDOW
CLOSES
As realistic people, we are
aware that success ultimately produces losers; and it's
the confused ambitions of the few which can bring doubt
to success, for all.
As the much talked
about national convention, which the SPDC has proclaimed
as its contribution to democracy, draws closer, (unless
of course this too, turns out to be just another ploy)
trust and support must spread across the whole spectrum
of democracy building? It is important to Burma,
more so at this stage of the game, that its people are
not channelled into one direction only to become trapped
in the same bottleneck of confusion which has prevented
advancement to date.
The 'NLD's victory in the
1990 elections were undoubtedly a major event for Burma,
falling in line with 'U Nu's election victory, where it
too fell prey to a military takeover, although at least
the country did experience a period of freedom before
hand, which was denied to the people after the 1990
elections.
The lesson to be learned from
both these misfortunes must surly be focused on the
absence of any prolific advances made toward a multi
party system, which on both accounts as history will
reveal, gave the military the advantage?
The
Parliamentary Democracy Party (PDP) strives on behalf of
the country to avoid this same mistake. It aims to
offer the people more than one option, to allow them the
opportunity to spread these options, giving them more
chances of survival, and making it more difficult for
the Military dictators to focus all its might on just
one target, the NLD!
Although elections
give the appearance of multi party involvement, both
previous experiences lacked the distinctive
characteristics of a multi 'political' party option, but
did in fact consist only of newly formed politically
inexperienced bodies, where it can be said, victory to
some, came solely from circumstance, assisted by who
they were, and who they lay claim to as their patrons.
However, during those two periods in history it was
suited to Burma's way of doing
things.
The PDP
has learned not to ignore these historical happenings in
fear of it repeating itself. We know that Burma
has to move away from old ideas if they are to have a
future with the rest of the world. The PDP's
manoeuvring over the past few years, has shown how it
studied and learned from past events,
The world
has offered us a varied but troublesome picture of
countries that have either by accident or design,
changed their political agendas for a better way of
life, only to suffer the teething pains of a fledgling
democratic society. The PDP has worked hard and planned
carefully in portraying itself as a strong political
party who can take on a new political direction and
guide the people of Burma through its maze of
obstacles.
As a party which stands for
democracy it of course recognises the 1990 elections,
(although after many years finding itself in conflict
with the NLD's self proclaimed mandate long past its
expiry date) is still fully supportive of the NLD in its
struggle for democracy against the common enemy, and is
willing to work along side them and others to achieve
results. However, the PDP also recognises the
importance of a change in tactics.
.
If the
NLD is seen as the only 'Burman' controlled party, (
with s few ethnic subsidiaries in the wings ) in a
society already controlled by a 'Burman' military, than
suspicions and fear will dominate any planned moves
toward a proposed democracy, indeed it does so now.
Already the PDP has dramatically changed the
course of politics inside Burma, although perhaps, not
so evident from the outside, but very evident through
the eyes of the SPDC, who have come to look upon the PDP
as a serious adversary who possesses the capability to
destabilise its power base. The people of Burma
are desperately crying out for more defences against the
regimes onslaught by using the more effective multi
political pronged assault instead of depending on one
already restricted party, which on its own, is
powerless, and no amount of PR will change that
fact!
If the regime believe that other tactics
are being used, ( other than from the ethnics which it
is not unduly concerned with ) it will eventually
realise that its continued suppressive acts against the
NLD, ( whom it believes, is the only weapon in the
people's arsenal ) will no longer be to an
advantage, and would actually increase the already
turbulent atmosphere within its own infrastructure as
more and more leading members of the regime see
themselves at greater risk from the growing change of
tide against them! So it is paramount at this
point in time, that the world is seen and heard, to
voice its support of a multi party alliance consisting
of other political party's and not just a collection of
NLD satellites who still demand right of office under a
long expired mandate. This attitude does not help
but hinders advancement. No body or political
party is denying the result of the 1990 election, least
of all the PDP, who sacrificed its own standing by not
participating as a candidate, and followed on by giving
its wholehearted support behind the NLD.
If the PDP, being the only viable party, had not
risen when it did, the risk of total annihilation of the
NLD and its leaders would have been imminent, this is
one of the key reasons which forced the PDP back into
the game, and for the serious observer, was an obvious
move in Burma's political arena . The NLD have
much to thank the PDP, for in its own campaign it has
secured the democratic path and prevented the regime
from obliterating all routes to democracy! It
(SPDC) now believes that while it allows the NLD to
survive on, it is slowing down any advancement the PDP
may make, by drawing all attention toward ASSK, which in
turn they believe, will divert interest away from the
PDP, making it less threatening. It is not
working! Many of the home truths
concerning Burma's pro-democracy political
blunders were only brought to the surface by the genuine
dedication and concern of the PDP!
Let those
whose refuse to accept this fact offer their
comment to the world, remembering of course that only a
few short years ago every one was fear ful of upsetting
some else, where today some of the most profound
concerns have been openly viewed to the world, and more
importantly, people have put their name to it without
fear or ridicual. This is the path of political
freedom opened by the PDP, and its courage of
conviction!
Those who believe in the
assassination attempt on ASSK, is looking in the wrong
direction. The SPDC is expert in physiological
warfare and knows exactly how the people would react if
they thought the lady escaped, and not allowed to
escape, and the plan was perfectly executed. In
certain circumstances, by increasing your enemy's
status, and who you now hold as prisoner, will actually
give you more manipulative powers over the people.
While they continue to rally around their icon with
total apathy in regard to reality, they are not working
toward other solutions. Precisely the result the
SPDC wanted! If the SPDC had wanted ASSK dead, she
would have died, but that was not the plan! It has
been stated many times, 'do not underestimate the
intelligence and/or capabilities of the SPDC', but
still, some people are totally oblivious to the
realities of their dilemma, and/or the strengths of
their enemies, this being the objective sought after by
the regime, and by keeping ASSK alive but in
handcuffs they achieve it.
If the world wants to
help Burma, then we ask it to show its democratic stance
by recognising the PDP, not as opposition to the NLD,
but as an ally against dictatorship. The party
political campaigning can begin once some form of order
has been achieved in the country. Whether or not
The NLD takes the wheel at the beginning is completely
irrelevant, what is important, that the principles of
democracy prevail and eventually leads to free
elections.
It now appears that many of the
pro-democracy representatives are against the convention
unless all their demands are met, quite rightly so, but
without the manoeuvring and lobbying of the PDP, we
believe these views and opinions would not have surfaced
in the manner to which they have.
It is
important to consider, that the recent release of NLD
members could have been due to some arrangement with
ASSK, because the SPDC would do something only, if it's
to their advantage. If this is the case, how far would
the lady go in making deals behind closed doors, and
while she is alone without political allies (not to be
confused with political partners from the same party)
she is very vulnerable to persuasion?
We
at UK.org are familiar with interrogation and mental
conditioning techniques, on most occasions the
incarcerated are not actually aware of how their minds
have been manipulated. Any amount of blackmail,
falsehoods and deceit can be created to the point where
the unfortunate prisoner becomes an unwilling but
cooperative tool! There are of course some
prominent examples of this proceedure in the world
today!
If members of the pro democracy
alignment are not familiar with the workings of the
above, then they are simply a hindrance to the movement,
because it gives the regime a tremendous
advantage. The game should only be played by those
who are qualified. We have said before; to send an
untrained soldier into battle is too allow the enemy to
play at his rules!
People must overlook any
personal inhibitions and look at the true picture of
events. If the NLD stands alone on the stage, then
the SPDC will be pulling the strings!
