Stand with the Burmese people? Yes! But who profits?

Henk Ruyssenaars - Foreign correspondent | 01.10.2007 15:48 | G8 Germany 2007 | Globalisation | Social Struggles | Terror War | World

The case in Burma, for those in power in the West, is very simple: the Chinese out and the inhuman US/UK regime in! So, who is going to profit from the huge oil and gas fields? The people? I don't think so. Do you?


THE WOEFUL PLIGHT OF THE BURMESE PEOPLE.

FPF - October 1st - 2007 - For years Burma has had military dictators and the Chinese as sponsors. The latter paid with billions in loans: some billions of US $'s in green ink and paper which the Chinese got from the fraudulent and private Fed printers. In US eyes the Chinese may be only good for the kitchen, laundry or Wal Mart c.s. but Beijing also wants the Burmese energy sources with billions in profit and power from the gas and oil reserves.

The US/UK multinationals want these too, and, because the Burmese military doesn't share the loot the way the US/UK banksters want them to, and eyes the Chinese too much, the US/UK junta activated among others all the propaganda channels in their media and of course earlier already the International Murder Fund (IMF)* They let the military and IMF run wild in Myanmar/Burma, and poor people as always got and get their heads clobbered or die.

But that doesn't matter. The US junta in Washington - via USAID, the CIA and their front company ''National Endowment for Democracy'' (NED) etc. - as usual paid for the present 'popular uprising'. The sardine on the hook to catch and kill a whale. For profit. Not for human beings.

TAKING THE PROTESTS AGAINST THE IMF PRESCRIBED PRICE RISES LAST AUGUST AS A PRETEXT.

"The protests were triggered by the government's decision to double the price of fuel last month, hitting people hard in the impoverished nation." - (BBC - 26 September 2007)

SO WHO ACTUALLY DO WE STAND WITH? WHOM ARE WE BACKING?

The people in those countries? The war profiteers will never tell them what's going on, they rather kill them. People are never reminded of the Afghanistan, Iraq, African and other massacres, where for the US/UK junta energy - and thus power and profit - are the 'game' too. In the US/UK junta's colonies the people are kept as poor and dumb as is possible, with 'newspeak' on television doing the main job. The ability to think is made to disappear.

Many 'activists' don't quite understand the global plan for hegemony, with energy and food being some of the keys, so their just activism drowns in the permanent tsunami of the war machine's media-lies and propaganda.

All US/UK/EU/NATO war machine's propaganda-media the warmongers also own, chip in, and the result can be seen and heard in all US/UK junta's 'protectorates'. Human beings - monks or not - have no voice. Nowhere in the US/UK profitable colonies, which all are bled.

In Ukraine, by the way, those days the same thing is happening: USAID and similar 'spooks' again pay for - with undeclared US tax $millions, and are organizing everything - to get the strategically - concerning pipe lines and navy sea ports - very important country back into the US/UK/EU/NATO fold.

IT DOESN'T MATTER 'WHO' VOTES: ONLY THE PEOPLE COUNTING MATTER

In Ukraine the US has set up the vote rigging too: "A USAID-supported activity known as the ''Strengthening Electoral Administration in Ukraine Project'' - (SEAUP) - administered by Development Associates, played a decidedly important role in facilitating Ukraine’s turn to democracy in 2004." - We all know the saying: ''It doesn't matter 'who' votes, but only the people counting matter,'' don't we?*

Because it's an enormous fight globally going on, and a lousy one for the people involved everywhere, as I wrote earlier about the US/UK mafia losing the 'turf battle' in usurped Ukraine.*

It's an old and shameful game: it's the same stupid and genocidal 'turf war' going on between the US/UK junta's zionist 'crazies' (in Washington, London, Amsterdam, Paris and Brussels) and the rest of the power blocks, with the people involved mostly as good as they can defending themselves against the invaders. Resistance which - according to the Geneva Conventions - is their legal right. People by now and everywhere know that US/Uk 'democracy' comes from the barrel of a gun.

To the predators however, human beings never and nowhere count in any way.

The Burmese don't, you don't and I don't. Only power and profit counts.

So, the war profiteers must be stopped everywhere.

One way or the other...
