Myanmar's “Saffron Revolution”: The Geopolitics behind the Protest Movement

16-10-2007 19:13 | Anti-militarism | Repression | Social Struggles | World

Burma’s “Saffron Revolution,” like the Ukraine “Orange Revolution” or the Georgia “Rose Revolution” and the various Color Revolutions instigated in recent years against strategic states surrounding Russia, is a well-orchestrated exercise in Washington-run regime change, down to the details of “hit-and-run” protests with “swarming” mobs of Buddhists in saffron, internet blogs, mobile SMS links between protest groups, well-organized protest cells which disperse and reform. CNN made the blunder during a September broadcast of mentioning the active presence of the NED behind the protests in Myanmar.

'Undone mayor' Ken Egostone is risking being exposed as a serial fabricator at the expense of same of the key communities whom he first disenfranchised over 20 years ago when he abused the GLC funding programmes to bribe strategically -and contemptuously racistly selected and placed ethnic surrogates who sacrificed the long term economic, social and human rights of entire communities in return for the corrupting cash that the egotist Livingstone doled out to these colluders... Today Livingstone is embarked on a massive lying project to ensure he gets re-elected in May 2008 as the 'undone mayor'

David Graeber: The Shock of Victory

15-10-2007 12:25 | Analysis | Globalisation | Social Struggles | World

The biggest problem facing direct action movements is that we don’t know how to handle victory.

This might seem an odd thing to say because of a lot of us haven’t been feeling particularly victorious of late. Most anarchists today feel the global justice movement was kind of a blip: inspiring, certainly, while it lasted, but not a movement that succeeded either in putting down lasting organizational roots or transforming the contours of power in the world. The anti-war movement was even more frustrating, since anarchists and anarchist tactics were largely marginalized. The war will end, of course, but that’s just because wars always do. No one is feeling they contributed much to it.
