Today marks the 19th anniversary of the military takeover of Burma when the late Saw Maung leading the then State Law and Order Restoration Council (SLORC) seized the power of the country via a bloody military coup killing thousands of people, including the students and the clergy , on September 18, 1988, in the midst of a nationwide uprising for freedom and democracy.
The SLORC reneged on its promise to return to the barrracks when the National League for Democracy (NLD) won the May 27, 1990, polls by a landslide victory and continued instead to strengthen its grip on power. The NLD was severely cracked down and there are more than a thousand political prisoners including the leaders and members of the 8888 Generation Students still languishing in prisons of Burma. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and U Tin Oo, Vice Chairman of the NLD, are still held under house arrest and incommunicado since May 30, 2003, until today, without specific charges laid other than to ’safeguard’ their personal security, a pretext in fact and practice, as the military rulers fear Burma freedom fighter and world icon of democracy’s immense popularity in the country and among the international community.
Ignoring to settle the root cause of today Burma’s dilemma, political imbroglio, stemming from the ruling military’s continued refusal to honor the results of the 1990 elections won overwhelmingly by the NLD, today’s ruling military rulers in Burma are embarking on a collision course, which will ultimately spell doom for their already sinking ship.
Today the SPDC’s rudderless ship is heading towards the jagged reefs and soon it will founder and rest at the bottom of the sea forever.
Drunk with power and weapons and thugs at his disposal and calling Than Shwe has been bluffing all the way until today. Given his very limited education, much less the knowledge of the ways of life, the military despot is heading to his ignominious and fitting end, the way of a scoundrel and a thief, like his late mentor Ne Win, who died and was deprived of a last resting place even.
Hiking the price of fuels has fuelled the peaceful living populace of Burma into showing their already deep-rooted disgust on the military thugs lately. Peaceful and noiselessly marching people have to cry for help and strive for survival when thugs and hoods – members of the military backed Union Solidarity and Development Association (USDA) and Swan Ah Shin – descended upon them and manhandled the people at will, as worldwide publicized; the police and others responsible for keeping law and order were nowhere to be seen at the time of the brutalities.
This is an archaic ploy – divide and rule – employed by the generals in Burma, pitting one another, and sowing enmity and hatred among the people, thus, keeping them disorganized and preventing them from getting UNITED.
The military thugs are very apprehensive of UNITY or SOLIDARITY among the people, knowing very well that they are powerless against PEOPLE POWER.
In that regard, they will go to any extremes to affect DISUNITY and ENMITY among the people. Hence, they are employing thugs and hoods, in place of police or military personnel, responsible for keeping law and order in the country and preventing the people from taking to the streets.
Than Shwe has sounded his DEATH KNELL, when he hit the brick wall – the Buddhist Clergy – with his shit-filled head. He has made his ‘mother of mistakes’.
According to the prevailing situations at hand in Burma, Than Shwe has stirred an “HORNET’S NEST” (Buddhist Clergy).
Now he has met his deadly NEMESIS, the Buddhist Clergy, refusing to DISOBEY his orders!
In case, the military despot chooses to “PUSH HIS LUCK”, he will certainly meet his “WATERLOO” this time.
A word of caution, in despise and disgust for the top military rogue in Burma,

YOU HAVE SOUNDED YOUR DEATH KNELL AT LAST!
AND IT IS PAYBACK TIME FOR YOU NOW!

The Buddhist Clergy, students and the people are watching for your demise in SILENCE.
