Burma's Terror Blasts
May 15, 2005 Super-Power Behind Burma Blasts - Based In Washington Quote:
"A certain superpower nation." Oh, I'm stumped!!!! The formula goes like this: artificially fomented terror attacks ==> global instability ==> pretext for government control ==> mocash for the Military Industrial Complex |

The money given to Aung Suun Kyi's cousin's democracy group down't indicate anything really, because for one thing Aung Suun Kyi's group is avowedly non-violent, seeking to bring about reform through fairly tame acts of civil disobedience, and for another 200,000 is not really much money in the sphere of international politics, certainly not the kind of money that you'd think about if you were trying to finance a "terror-campaign" wum, as long as you keep posting things you read on the internet and putting your own spin on them while being pretty damn ignorant of the facts behind them i'll keep showing you up, bring it on! |

The burmese government would try to "catch heat" by claiming a certain superpower is behind the attacks becasue by claiming outside interference they can dismiss the fact that there is a resistance in their own society to their autocratic rule. the military junta in burma is regularitly cited as one of the worst governements in the world in terms of human rights abuses, but officially they still like to trot out the "everyone's happy, our population loves us" line, and anyone who oppses them is working for a foreign power.....
there's a huge homegrown outlawed democracy movement in burma, aun suun kyi, the leader of this has been under house arrest for years, but either won or was up for the nobel peace prize. the government consistently harps on about how they're puppets of outside influences, but anyone who looks into it realizes that they're the leading edge of a groundswell of private BURMESE public support for democratic change, that would garner more public support if the government didn't throw people in prison for even whispering "democracy". i like how you say "it's yet to be seen if hte US had a role so we can't rule this out" how many fucking times do i have to point out the bit about how it's impossible to prove a negative? it's "yet to be seen" that the fucking martians did not kidnap elvis, so i guess we can't rule that out either. it's news to you that 200,000 dollars isn't a lot of money when you're talking about international terrorism finance? or it's news to you about burma's homegrown democracy movement? finally, by spin i mean how you take news stories about palces and political situations you know dick all about and try and shoehorn them in to suppporting your conspiracy theories. that's the spin. if you knew anything about burma you'd come to the conclusion that the whole news story (government press release) is just the burmese dictatorship trying to disgusie the fact that they've got serious problems and are close to a civil war. blaming a "certain superpwer" is far more likely simply propaganda, deflecting the fact that their own populace is pissed off.

As well, what you're doing is building a straw man argument. I've never talked about aliens or elvis. On the other hand, there's plenty of precedence for the US sanctioning so-called "terrorism" around the world. The real kicker for me was that the Burmese government came out and pointed their finger at them as their number one suspect. Quote:
