                  Dear fellow freedom loving buddhistas,

We could not believe our eyes this morning at the 
unadulterated downright cheek of those who wish to 
bring peace (at any price they can afford) to "their land" . 

Today on Burma1 we have one of our lovable "village idiot" 
talking to us about religion!  As if the opium of the people 
actually kept up-to-date with what's happening on the ground.

Y'see, it does not matter where one lives, nor what colour
nor nationality one happens to be born, nor even how 
many thousands of volumes of buddhist sutras one has digested. 

It's the power to recognise when one is on a downward spiral
that gives a person the right to reflect and change. Right at this 
particular point in time, and as reported so widely by the BBC 
this week in a long documentary by the incredibly wonderful 
journalista Sue Lloyd-Roberts. The causes being used by 
the junta are not in anyway similar to the theories and practice
of any of the wonderfully enlightening doctrines of buddhism. 
Nor do they lead to any form of human enlightenment..

In that : While the people of Burma are being starved and 
enslaved by the ruling military, in their hopeless quest for tourism, 
the junta has spead 120 tons of gold over the golden shell of some 
Burmese shrine.

I bet that old Shakyamuni himself , resting quietly upon his 10 
kinds of clouds, would have "hit the roof" at such tragic tokenism
and  misalligned (junta family) wisdom, compassion and courage . 
The tenants of all buddhism. 

If alive today, and there are some who say that he may well be 
still "alive" today, he probably would take up arms and fight
such blatant ABUSE OF HIS TEACHINGS AND POWER by a 
few ruling Burmese families .

We see some sick sides of the junta on this newsgroup. Over
this week, while the international community has taken a major 
leap forward in their learning about the awfulness of the Burma  
truth. And during a week wherein we have had to report junta 
cyber abuse to those with the power to both track, pounce and 
defeat.  The next posting was a perfectly laughable example of 
how the junta families continually and religiously, shoot themselves 
in the collective foot.


Dear Burmese Activists,

    Today is the full-moon day of Thidingyut that marks the exit of Buddhist 
lent. Thousands and thousands of Myanmar people are going to the various 
pogadas all over our country to keep sabath. After keeping sabath they are 
sharing their merits to  all creatures seen and unseen in the whole universe, 
including you and me.

    You can gain their merits by responding them saying 
"Sadu...Sadu...Sadu..." (Thadu...Thadu... Thadu...) heartily.

    May all you gain peace of mind.

            M'dear Village Idiot.     Go shove it..

"Piece of Mind". With orchestra, Holland 69.
http://onlinetv.com/rogerbunn.html  is a far better album 
That doesn't "stick in the groove".


                   Remember this will we?

The British people have learned a lot more about racist Burma 
over the last few weeks.  And now tv personalities who would not 
normally use the word, nor have much interest in what's been going 
on inside Burma for a number of years, are now regularly appearing 
on such popularist political programmes as todays "Breakfast with Sir 
David Frost".  And pointing their pundit public fingers at Rangoon 
and those in the British estabishment who "do not do enough" to 
halt all trade and bring Aung San Suu Kyi a passport that is reliable. 
One with which she can come and go between her nation and our 
own with freedom and without being hastled on her return to her
nation by the type of racist junta animal would write that which 
follows this introduction. 

                                <snipped>

On these grounds alone, we suggest that both the Times
and other nationals begin or engage plans lingering in the 
"editorial pipeline" to tell our business community that its time 
to reconsider their own grand designs upon any kind of trade 
with Burma.
