Monks Protest in Rangoon (r)

[treved@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

You are dead right!!  It has all the hallmarks of SLORC.  Remember the race
riots in the late  60s when armed soldiers watched over rioters.  It was a
time when there was a severe shortage of rice and people were getting
restless.  It is well within SLORC's known character to implement a covert
destabilising campaign, learnt well from the CIA.

The tactic of getting the population to fight amongst themselves or to
scapegoat a minority group is a classic strategy utilised in all political
scenarios, but a speciality of colonial rulers.  SLORC has learnt well from
their masters but how many times can they use the same trick?

Like you, I don't think Buddhist monks in robes are given to such actions.
It is more likely they were monk(ey)s of SLORC persuasion.

Long live Freedom and Democracy.
