Topic -"Burma,Indonesia,Timor," by jclancy@xxxxxxxxxxx

  To all who care for the world's poor and their rights to at
  least self-determination in their affairs, their culture their
  political and social aims,their share of the existing unpolluted
  atmosphere and their freedom from oppression.

  The world's controlled media, its owners with their huge
  mining/industrial subscribers are hell-bent on maintaining their
  alternative two-hundred year repression of such ideas. They call
  their system 'democracy' and adopt that obscure word to cover
  their rights to judge meanings of concepts like 'human rights'.

  In that 200 year span, Haiti was free from torture, occupation,
  oppression, and exploitation for only a seven month period and
  that was long ago. Cuba has stretched that period of freedom to
  36 years. Most of Africa, South and Central Americas, on present
  indications, will never be free even for seven weeks.

  These 'democracies' have developed a strange hatred for
  indigenous people, Mayans, tribal Indians and Aborigines and
  particularly black skinned people, who are considered to be less
  human than the average Southern Sheriff or a Knight of the
  KluKluxKlan.-(for want of a suitable simile)

  To simplify their expanding greed and cruelty to others the
  'democracies' periodically band themselves together in groups
  called the United Nations, or League of Nations. Only the best
  people are allowed to say much in their meetings and only an
  exact handful can make decisions. So we now have, as an example,
  a certain General Savimbi, employed by one or two democracies to
  collect all the diamonds and oil from Angola and kill most of
  the other black people there. As a reward he is to be installed
  as the country's President after the next 'fair' election -
  fair, because another nice little group (CIA) knows how to count
  the votes to give democracy a boost. Or go to Sierra Leone or
  Namibia or Nigeria or most any other place and you will find the
  nations' resources disappearing down the gullets of democracies
  at the cost of millions of black deaths -offset by democratic
  aid in the form of vast supplies of armaments to ensure that
  blacks will go on killing blacks till the end of time. Death
  squads are US trained here as in the Americas, but are hardly
  needed when considering the numbers killed without such things.

  Or go to Timor or any other poor area and you will find
  democratic 'Generals' employed by little democracies like
  Australia and big democracies like the USA, to collect the
  undersea oil reserves for the benefit of 'democracy' and the
  inadvertent murder of so many nice but poor people.  Arab
  peoples have always been on the 'hit list' of democracy mainly
  because of their great oil reserves under the desert sands,
  which are coveted by all democracies.

  But the concern in this particular article are for the PEOPLES
  of Burma, Indonesia and Timor. - not the US controlled generals,
  industrialists,  miners and highly paid killers. Professor Noam
  Chomsky makes this distinction in his criticisms of western
  greed and his own country's complicity in the destruction of
  democracy (rights to live, to participate in elections, to be
  cared for with education, health and peace.) In E.Timor, US
  public opinion finally forced the US Administration to stop
  exporting armaments to Indonesia.  But England and Australia
  have filled the vacancy as chief suppliers instead, probably
  with profits going to US multinationals  based in both those
  countries.  The joint recipe seems to be -"To pour in plenty of
  human blood and destruction of local cultures everywhere, then
  reap the rewards in profits later."  The world's media agrees
  with this policy and remains with its sick accent on sports,
  comics and brutal films for the education of working people and
  poor- but never the truth.

   In Indonesia, since the destruction of their unions and some
   750,000 dissidents in1965, the people have been totally
   controlled by Generals, not ordinary Generals who train to
   guard their own nation from attack -but who earn their US made
   medals by repressing and murdering their own people. Generals
   and their relatives in all three of the above countries have
   become very rich, but US$20 million is never enough for the
   capitalist-imperialist  class.  The US applauds their
   Adminstration's principle of "Foreign Generals are better at
   making life safe and wealthy for US Interests than allowing
   'democracy' to take place.  The US of course has its own
   version of "democracy", which is not what decent people believe
   in or respect.

    For instance, in Burma at the moment the democratically
    elected President San Suu Kye has been held in Army arrest for
    6 years.  As Chomsky mentions , a phone call from the US
    President would have achieved her immediate release 6 years
    ago. But there is the huge heroin trade which provides secret
    resources for the CIA and high quality rubies, diamonds to
    consider first.!!  There are also the indigenous Karen peoples
    who were quite successful for 30 years in keeping the SLORC
    Burmese generals at bay.  But by careful corrupting promises,
    many of the Buddhist section of Karen defected recently to the
    government side and this democracy, Suu-Kye supporting
    population of 300,000 souls and students have had to escape
    over the border to Thailand. But Thailand is just another US
    base controlled mainly by US type Generals and US type
    'democracy'. Here they are enclosed in jungle and bush with no
    outside contact allowed. This treatment no doubt falls into
    line with the preferred US torture and brutality response for
    irrelevant peoples. General Than Shwe controls Burma no doubt
  with 'foreign' advisors.  In a recent Amnesty Inter'l report,
  the word Karen was not mentioned only  "rebels and terrorists",
  although admitting wide-spread repression of the people.  Others
  report the stealing of the peoples land by the Army and its
  friends, to be used as Army Bases or private homes, or sold to
  preferred foreigners.

  And so we come to the orators present in all democracies. The
  most important ones of course arise from the depths of the USA -
  often in the form of female ghouls who make the nasty,
  deadly-to-others, pronouncements from the UN, but also from
  London (Hatcher), the White House (Butch and his clones), and
  'powerful' religious people like Jessica Helmsley and Mdme
  DeFarge Torrichello. Each one probably a beautiful baby and as
  talented as Shirley Temple. But why the need to commit mass
  murders?  There should be an available public list of which USA
  politician represents the interests of which particular
  conglomerate so that there is immediate awareness of why he or
  she waves their arms about and thump the rostrums with such
  "America-the-beautiful", forceful, 'sincerity'. When that has
  been established for say three years, the next step is a public
  disclosure of the amounts spent to elect, re-elect and nurture
  their loyalty to the 'correct' cause.

  Then in Australia we have the world's greatest foreign minister
  who sees, in protocolic language, big improvements everywhere in
  the thinking and human rights of 'democratic' generals,
  particularly in Timor, Burma, Indonesia, Bougainville, Tibet ,
  Cambodia etc.  My personal preference, and that of growing
  millions of others, is to ignore the obvious greed of the
  Western media, politicians and great "orators" and listen to the
  words of American Professor Noam Chomsky and his condemnation of
  the repressive and murderous history of successive US
  Administrations, perpetrated on the Third World for the past 250
  years.

   LIFT YOUR NEGATIVE BLOCKADES and spurious 'democracy' demands
   America, Burma,  Indonesia and Australia and see what real
   people can do when left in PEACE. Your tortures, murders and
   extortions account for too many children and too many good
  people.
