comments government forces crackdown on protests in britain 29 september 2007 rickb on monday 8 october the stop the war coalition will be marching from trafalgar square to parliament calling for all troops in iraq to be brought home immediately after a series of relatively co operative meetings the police now say they have been instructed not to allow the march to take place and that all demonstrations are banned within a mile of parliament whilst in session this is a new development which threatens our democratic rights when gordon brown became prime minister he promised to liberalise the laws on protest saying that one of his principles would be civil liberties safeguarded and enhanced government ministers including gordon brown have lined up to support the right to protest in burma it is important that these same ministers also defend the rights of people in this country to protest peacefully we are determined to march to make our views known to parliament on 8 october when gordon brown will make his long awaited statement on iraq we urge everyone who opposes the war policies of our government to join the call for all british troops to come home immediately and to help defend our civil liberties now under attack we have produced a petition calling on the authorities to review the decision to ban the march h t blairwatch sign the petition here now of course this is not comparable in severity to burma but across the planet one can see the ruling classes enforcing measures that remove the ability for us to have a say in how we are governed outside of the false choices offered by consumerism twin competing conservative parties we are in a straitjacket of moribund wage slavery posted in uncategorized tags action authoritarianism bad policing iraq nu labour politics comments off on government forces crackdown on protests in britain platitudes for the dead 29 september 2007 rickb president nicolas sarkozy has also drawn criticism this week for urging french companies to freeze new investments in burma no other french company operates in the country total as the president presumably knew has not made new investments in burma for years a french diplomat told the newspaper liberation off the record yesterday annoucing a freeze of what is already frozen is hardly revolutionary it allows the president to surf on the notion of a french new deal for human rights while protecting french economic interests france s foreign minister bernard kouchner this week rejected suggestions that total is a de facto ally of the military junta in rangoon he can claim to be something of an expert on the issue in 2003 when he was out of office his company bk conseil was paid to advise total on how to improve the public image of its burmese operations meanwhile campaigners have also been targeting the us oil giant chevron corp the only sizeable us company still investing in burma the group earthrights international has written to the company s chairman dave o reilly urging chevron to use its influence with the regime and ask the military government to use restraint when confronting the demonstrators the government of burma is not only your host but also your client and your business partner in the yadana gas pipeline consortium their letter said so long as you remain in burma therefore it is incumbent upon you to use your influence to help prevent mass bloodshed please do not stand by as the killing begins again i suspect this is the story across the board tough talk to achieve concerned humanitarian image pr and

myanmar s new drive for democracy i am not afraid to die he told me in halting english they will only kill flesh and bones spirit cannot be destroyed so in the end we will win then he walked to the head of several thousand protesters in downtown yangon and advanced towards the waiting soldiers stern faced fingers on the triggers of their weapons he raised his hand and stood there in a gesture of defiance it met with applause from the protestors and people who watched the unfolding drama from their windows and balconies the soldiers did nothing but it was only temporary minutes later they acted two army units closed both ends of the street in a pincer movement that trapped hundreds of civilians they poured out of their trucks with guns and batons men in civilian clothes joined them with large bamboo sticks they waded into the protestors beating and slashing i saw people on the ground being beaten and pounded and kicked blood pouring from head wounds others were dragged off to a row of waiting buses the army used the night time curfew to arrest thousands of monks something like 2 000 are said to have been taken along with intellectuals and other public figures like poets and actors it s rumoured that many are being held at the race course in the city but it is impossible to get near there now the military clampdown is accelerating soldiers now stand guard at all the

myanmar formerly known as burma are reporting a death toll of nearly 200 since the government crackdown began on wednesday with several hundred more wounded hundreds of others are reported to have been arrested many of them beaten or seized from their homes in overnight raids al jazeera s correspondent in myanmar says that the protests are now largely made up of students instead of monks brown also thinks the death toll is likely to be climbing into the hundreds what a shame he doesn t command any armed forces or have any way to communicate with world leaders and stop this oh wait british prime minister gordon brown has said he believes the loss of life in burma has been far greater than that reported by the authorities he was speaking after holding talks by phone with us president

say there are unusual troop movements underway in rangoon amid reports that snr gen than shwe the junta s chief and vice snr gen maung aye his second in command and the commander in chief of the army have disagreed over the response to the recent demonstrations diplomatic sources in bangkok said maung aye is scheduled to meet with aung san suu kyi and that he disagreed with the bloody crackdown that has been underway for three days troop movements and discontent military aircrafts from the matehtilar airbase are airborne it is not known why the aircrafts have scrambled on the other hand there is commotion in the light infantry division 33 and 99 of the burma army the exact nature of the commotion cannot be determined as yet troops marching to rangoon there is an urgent report that burmese troops from middle burma has started to march towards rangoon the reported troops are from central command based in taung oo and south east command at this reporting it is not clear if the troops are marching to reinforce or to challenge the troops in rangoon for shooting the buddhist monks bottom line this is continuing and growing it is not now over because the government have started to shoot the resistance is growing and when slorc captured some monks others took their place students general public now it s possible the army is splintering and armed insurgent groups are uniting to fight the government this is an ongoing struggle and it is a tipping point as in the time that actions will have the most consequences help will be the most useful solidarity the most effective the news agenda wants new stories crackdown is not the closing chapter this rebellion is beginning and growing and disparate groups are uniting to fight the generals who are dividing in their tactics in real life it is always the anvil that breaks the hammer never the other way about george orwell politics and the english language posted in uncategorized tags authoritarianism burma state terror comments off on burma tipping point elsewhere 28 september 2007 rickb meanwhile in the empire s homeland both parties support the lieberman kyl amendment that names iran s armed forces a terrorist organisation while another plan also passes to huge bipartisan support to split iraq into 3 ethnic territories now the ethnic cleansing has been enforced as such the political class in america is overwhelmingly an imperial caste and the anti war majority have no effective representation the dems aren t even liberals let alone leftists now is it just me but surely us border agents patrol the us border and having them in iraq makes it look like i dunno a wholly occupied territory for example they are going to be helping out at the new forward base called ahem combat outpost shocker and not base provocative bait in iraq that is being built 5 miles from the iranian border they will be there to lend their staunch defence of human rights and their innate compassionate understanding of differing cultures two famous figures publicly declared they just could not get enough cock general peter pace and mahmoud ahmadinejad most puzzling was the general who surrounded by hard bodied young men all day still can t satisfy his lust for dick naj at neo resistance has kept tabs on the anti iran rhetoric not least lee bollinger the worst opening act since that bush impressionist lowered the rooms iq before colbert went on and there was this fine example of terrorism basically we would put an item out there and watch it if someone found the item picked it up and attempted to leave with the item we would engage the individual how many iraqis does america need to kill before they give the usa their hearts minds why must they test uncle sam s love so cruelly and from the past what was called the spanish downing street memo you ll never guess bush is a deluded killer who planned the war in advance but thinks he s doing his utmost to avoid war saddam would of booked for a billion saving over a million lives and failing to funnel hundreds of billions of public funds into that military industrial complex thingy oh wait now it makes sense so that s both european leaders blair and aznar who lied to their people all the while knowing they were assenting to bush s attack that had been planned for years bush described the us as playing a game of good cop bad cop with the former prime minister tony blair mr bush referred optimistically to the reconstruction of iraq which he thought could be organised into a federation asked by mr aznar whether the iraqi dictator could really leave mr bush replied yes that possibility exists or he might even be assassinated from your mouth to god s ear george posted in uncategorized tags 51st state bush crime family capitalism corporate

ministers from the 10 nation association of southeast asian nations asean which has long had a policy of non interference in the affairs of burma had unusually sharp words for its fellow member at a meeting at the united nations they were appalled to receive reports of automatic weapons being used and demanded that the myanmar government immediately desist from the use of violence against demonstrators singapore foreign minister george yeo said the ministers expressed their revulsion to burma foreign minister nyan win over reports that the demonstrations in myanmar are being suppressed by violent force and that there has been a number of fatalities he said they strongly urged burma to exercise restraint and seek a political solution and wanted the ruling junta to resume national reconciliation with all parties and work towards a peaceful transition to democracy however the crackdown is in effect ko htike reports i sadly announce that the burmese military junta has cut off the internet connection throughout the country i therefore would not be able to feed in pictures of the brutality by the brutal burmese military junta i will also try my best to feed in their demonic appetite of fear and paranoia by posting any pictures that i receive though other means journos please don t ask me what other means would be i will continue to live with the motto that if there is a will there is a way we probably need to lobby the chinese government or un envoy to burma to ask the junta to switch on the internet please video of monastery raid via democratic voice of burma also
