SPDC: Nothing is what it seems

Nothing is what it seems
by Criticus

   The SPDC's website --www.myanmar.com-- was linked to AOL's Asia Forum
only for four days (13 to 16 Aug.) On 17th August, AOL(America On Line),
the leading internet service provider in the USA, removed the SPDC's
website after they received information from the Free Burma Coalition
(FBC) that it was an unwelcome addition which would bring nothing but
dishonour, discredit and misinformation to the world's internet family.
Beware of dictator's website which appears to be harmless, but we are
dealing with a big bad wolf in sheep's clothing. It is likely that SPDC
might resort to virus warfare.

   Mr. Okkar, SPDC's designated mailman, seemed to be clutching at
straws and his posting on 19th August and his obscene letter to TIN KYI
of Japan on 20th August, have indicated that they are increasingly
desparate and that their cyber warfare is getting nowhere. In order to
get recognition and money or to attract tourist interest Mr. Okkar is
now swearing black is white; because he, like other SPDC goons, lives in
a world of his own. They are like "A frog in the puddle of a buffalo's
hoof-mark". Thus they have produced a situation of Alice-in-Wonderland
absurdity where nothing is what it seems.

   Bizarre things always happen in Burma where SPDC's colonels and
generals, engaged in drugs trade, talk about promoting Buddhist
religion. Lt.Gen. Khin Nyunt, a sophomore drop-out, exhorts professors,
lecturers and teachers. A bellicose military government talk about
promoting meditation and mental tranquillity. Starving teachers sell
food to students during school lunch-break. Professors engage in
blackmarket trade to survive. Monkey chase a hillside farmer and fox
chase hounds. Balloon sink and stone float. 

    SPDC believe that water can be forced into a solid bamboo, because
they have not learnt anything though they have been in power for 37
years. Some analysts say you can't expect much from these people who
lack education, natural ability, sincerity, and honesty. You can't
sharpen a rotten wood which cannot be carved either. In the topsy-turvy
world of  SPDC nobody is more delighted than thieves who are given high
positions in the government. They are wasting time trying to put the
cart before the horse while pocketing money through various means. They
are all tarred with the same brush -- they simply will not tell the world
the truth.

   In the eyes of the Burmese people the SPDC is not only ignorant but
also ignominious. Ignorant people are mentally blind, mentally deaf, and
insensitive to all the beautiful and wholesome things and conventional
norms. The Burmese people use to say that most of the senior military
officers cannot read the letter 'A' even if it is written as large as a
barrel; above all they are, to quote a proverb, buffaloes before which
it would be futile to play a harp. [Casting pearls before swine]. They
use an iron bar to crack a boiled egg. They believe that drinking liquor
will lead to Nirvana and distributing heroin will calm the people down. 

    If you ask for democracy they would think you are asking for an
imprisonment without trial and they'll put you in jail. If you ask for
human rights they would think that you want to contribute free labour
and they'll send you to a forced labour camp. The people privately
portray them as dunderhead, braggart, idiot and all combined. Idiocy is
much valued among the powers that be. Since they have prospered under
the guidance of U Ne Win (now 89 years old) they always think that the
son shines out of his bum. In order to create people like themselves
SPDC have closed universities and colleges since December
1996.
