International Burma Awareness on YouTube 10/31-11/1 |
|
|
Tuesday, 30 October 2007 |
|
We are asking for your compassionate support of the peaceful monks and civilians who have recently been brutality beaten and gunned down in Burma (Myanmar) by the military dictators. The situation in Burma is far worse than you can imagine. Human rights groups have documented serious genocide, raping, and enslaving activities committed by the Burmese military dictators. Please join the "International Burma Awareness on Youtube" campaign! By simply clicking the following links on either October 31 or November 1, 2007, you can make the world aware of the poor Burmese monks and civilians. The goal is to produce 200,000-400,000 views on each targeted video so that Youtube administrators will put them onto the front page of Youtube. Targeted videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPSsKcpxJMk (Video from Burma: SHOOT on SIGHT) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NySuaJ2B20E (Jim Carrey - Call to Action on Burma and Aung San Suu Kyi) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UqQaizM15Q (Inside Myanmar: The Crackdown) **Remeber to rate the videos 5/5 stars if you have a youtube account. Refresh the videos will increase the number of views. Other relevant videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPKsm7lmQQE (Missing Monks in Myanmar Burma Dead Body Found) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gONJmADgX88&NR=1 (Rocketboom : Myanmar/Burma) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WU_DmXp578 (More Deaths in Burma Protests - part 2) |

Strategy and Tactics for Bringing Democracy to Burma |
|
|
Saturday, 13 October 2007 |
|
Found an interesting article that discusses some tactics and longer term strategies that can be employed by the peoples of Burma as well as the international community. It opens by saying: "An epic struggle is underway. The people of Burma and their supporters from the people of the world are pitted against the SPDC, the political leaders of the international community, and business interests. The first round, the last forty-five years, including the crisis period from 1988 to 1990, went to the SPDC (and its predecessors SLORC and BSPP). The second round, the beginning of the current crisis, with the courageous leadership of the 88 Generation Students and Burma’s monastic community, went to the people. However, this stage was not decisive. The SPDC was able to regain the initiative. This occurred largely because other nations, in deference to the status quo of the international political system, which now exists exclusively to serve the interests of “development” and multinational corporations, refused to help. The current situation is that Than Shwe has been emboldened by the fact that there was no international response to his crimes. (I mean a real response: action, not just impotent complaints.) He now realizes: “I can do anything. I can arrest and kill monks; commit ethnic cleansing and even genocide against Burma’s ethnic nationalities; emplace North Korean ballistic missiles and target them at Thailand; and buy Russian and North Korean technology to make atomic bombs. Nothing and no one will stop me. He has therefore increased his repression, and launched both a program of nighttime arrests – people in Burma are now “being disappeared,” and the beginnings of a new forced labor gulag system. He also covered up the initial crimes from the crackdown, by cremating bodies, again at night, and clearing out ransacked monasteries. Some commentators are saying that the uprising is over. This is ludicrous. They want it to be over. It is not over until Burma is free." |

Great Site for People Wanting to Help Out |
|
|
Friday, 12 October 2007 |
Burma-Watch.org is a new site that just popped up that reflects all or most of what is in Facebook "Supporting the Monks' Protest' group. Like the group, this site has a lot of information about how people in the international community can help out (in addition to some great background information on Burma). I'm sure they will be constantly adding new ways in which you can help so periodically check them out. |
