Freedom of Speech

Monday, June 30th, 2008

We often cry that our rights of Freedom of Speech as granted to us by the United States Constitution under the Bill of Rights first amendment have been violated!

But do we not violate the Freedom of Speech of others? As Bloggers we block and ban other Bloggers just because we disagree with their opinions. We delete their comments from our blogs, we block them on Twitter, we block them on our Friend Feed.

Are Bloggers the biggest Hypocrites the world has seen?

If we do not guard the rights to Freedom of Speech we will lose them. I feel we have already lost them because Amerika is a Fascist State!

But the rights to Freedom of Speech are not granted to us by America, but granted to us by God! Only He giveth and He taketh!

Fight for your rights to Freedom of Speech!

Myanmar who is in charge

Welcome to Myanmar

Mae Sai Myanmar Thailand Border

A bunch of years ago, before Thailand and Myanmar opened up their Northern border, I was traveling in the North of Thailand, around Mae Sai.

Mae Sai is a small border town on the Thai side that has little of value to offer besides some stalls that sell souvenirs from Myanmar, but the border itself is intriguing. Well 18 years ago standing on the Thai side of the river, I was guessing of how life in Myanmar was. I observed Thai and Myanmar people were able to cross the bridge that divided the two countries. I was told by the Thai locals that the bridge crossing was only for Thai and Myanmar people and that foreigners – farang were not allowed to cross to Myanmar from Thailand.

Being that I have traveled to many countries on my travels I felt bad that I could not enter Myanmar, but that was how things stood. All of a sudden, a bunch of young lads came over to my Japanese girlfriend and me, peddling cartons of Marlboro cigarettes. They were asking 11 usd per carton. I was a thrifty devil and always tried to get a better price. So, I asked them if the price was cheaper on the Myanmar side. They replied that it was. Being a smarty-pants that I was, I observed that the local people that were crossing to Myanmar did not show any id but just simply crossed. I figured why couldn’t my Japanese girlfriend just cross to Myanmar and buy Marlboro cigarettes at a cheaper price there. The boys told me that there is a market on the Myanmar side where you can buy Marlboro cigarettes.

I implored my lady friend for a while and she finally agreed to do the deed. I had no idea how much cheaper were the cigarettes there, but buying at the source was the intent.
She crossed from Thailand to Myanmar, disappearing from my sight in the sea of other people. I had nothing to do but be content to wait her return. I went to a coffee shop near by and waddled the time away. 30 minutes have passed, and she was not back. Another 30 minutes and still no sign of her. 2 hours have passed, and I was worried as shit! “Why was she not back?” I thought to myself. A few minutes latter I saw her silhouette emerge from the crowd. She was sobbing alligator tears. “Kayo Chan, what is wrong?” I asked her as she neared me. “They would not let me go until I paid them 300 usd!” She replied. “Oh my God!” I exclaimed. “What is wrong with them?” “Only Thai people are allowed to cross into Myanmar as you knew. So I had to pay them a fine or they threatened to take me to Yangon - the capital, for investigation!” She said. “Wow, but you did not have any cash on you! How did you pay them?” I said. “They made me sign over my travel checks to them. They did not even take a photocopy of my passport!” She cried out.

I was angry, but there was nothing I could have done. My girl crossed illegally into Myanmar. Thai ladies went in and out of Myanmar without being checked for documents. The Myanmar border patrol guards knew she was not Thai when they let her pass! It was all a ploy to collect a fine from her, which for sure they pocketed, because she did not get any official receipt! Heck, they even took travel checks! The balls on these Assholes! But there was nothing we could have done, and I just thanked God that my baby was safe in my arms. “Kayo Chan, do not worry,” I consoled her. “It was all my fault. I should not have sent you across to buy cigarettes for me. It was really stupid of me, and I am just glad that you are back safe in Thailand.” But my girlfriend, through her tears, expressed to me that she was not angry with me, but angry at the military guards for stealing 300 usd from her.

Myanmar Military Junta is a Corrupt Regime

The story that I’ve just told you happened 18 years ago. The border crossing between Thailand and Myanmar is now officially open for foreign nationals for a day pass with a fee of 10 usd and a 7 day inland pass for a few hundred kilometers at a higher price. Still the border area around Mae Sai on the Myanmar side is being well guarded because of the Karen refuges who are being pushed out of Myanmar to reside illegally in Thailand refuge camps. With some living there under less then hospitable conditions for up to 20 years. Thailand just does not want them, and makes it very hard for them to come into the Thai society.

While most Myanmar citizens are living bellow any imaginable level of poverty, the military junta splurges vivaciously on banquets and weddings for their top echelon members. “Strings of diamonds, cascades of champagne and tens of millions of dollars worth of gifts would be considered ostentatious at any wedding. But in Burma, one of the poorest countries in Asia, the luxury on display in a video of the wedding laid on by the head of the junta, General Than Shwe, for his daughter, has left Burmese people up in arms!” Said Jonathan Watts, east Asia correspondent The Guardian. 50 million usd were spent on the lavish wedding!

Anti-Americanism

Saturday, March 22nd, 2008

America is trying to have it its own way again! In the recent turn of events between China and Tibet, America is acting like an Ass instead of trying to facilitate peace between two peoples.

Nanci Pelosi, the democratic congresswoman from California went to visit Dali Lama in Dharamsala, India and instead of helping the Tibetan people negotiate peace and autonomy with China, she pured gasoline on the fire inciting animosity from the Chinese, by telling China that, “China is evil and persecuting and oppressing Tibetan people, and she demands independence for Tibet!”

Prayer flags at Boudhanath Stupa (temple), Kathmandu

Nancy Pelosi, is an adept diplomat who does not care about Tibetan people but came to promote the alternative agenda of USA. What is she trying to do, make China look bad, so she can bring all the manufacturing jobs back to America? Please, that will never happen, the world relies on China for its low cost manufacturing.

Is she trying to promote democracy in China? Well, American pseudo-democracy is a political ideology that in practice does not really work. America suppresses its own minorities and silents unpopular believes . America denies its own citizens rights and tears apart families. Not allowing parents to be with their children, when parents are American citizens and children are not. America deprives its own citizens the rights over their own bodies all in the name of moral and righteousness. In America if a woman sells her body for sex that is illegal and she goes to jail, so does the man who buys sex from her. Eliot Spitzer, ex senator, righteous corruption fighter gets caught with a 5,000 usd hooker. In China even though prostitution is illegal, it is practiced and respected.

So what does dear pure Nancy trying to promote in China? Could she be trying to help her imperialistic regime to break China up in small regions like it has done to Russia? America wants to be the global king, the only superpower left in the world. America does not give a fuck in facilitating peace between people. The Israeli - Palestinian dilemma is evidence to such a fact. After decades of negotiations and fighting the two brothers are still at war.

Tibetan people cannot have independence today, but they can have an autonomy so their culture and heritage is preserved and not destroyed by the influx of Chinese tourist. And America can help it happen instead of getting on its high white horse preaching democracy! America brought democracy to imperial Japan, but at what cost? How many innocent civilians it murdered with firebombing and nuclear bombs? America trying to bring democracy to Iraq by pitting Shia and Sunni brothers against each other.

America is so self centered and pure that it thinks the whole world revolves around it. It preaches freedom and democracy to other nations but does not give it to its own people and imposes its liberties on other nations at the point of a gun. America is not the land of the free and the home of the brave, but the land of the hypocrites , the greedy, and the obese.

The white man's burden

English poet Rudyard Kipling in a satirical poem, The White Man’s Burden, criticizes American imperialism. It was written in regard to the U.S. conquest of the Philippines and other former Spanish colonies.
