Thai PM is more foolish than the Junta
Thai PM Samak went to Burma and return empty handed but protect Junta. he said he saw Aid supplies donated by the HM Thai King at the relief centre so he said aid supplies are reaching to the Cyclone victims. WHAT A FOOL!!! he tried to please both HM the Thai king and the Junta.
HM Thai King donated the Aid supplies a week ago before Thai PM went to Burma. If the Junta really distributed the Aids supplies to the Cyclone victims, there would be no Aid Supplies at relief center, Aid should be with the cyclone victims but instead he still saw the Aid supplies at the relief center.
That's mean the Junta never distributed the Aid supplies and just keep them for show whoever come and inspect or visit the relief centre.
SAMAK your brain is so little, you didn't know logical thinking, how cam you become a PM. No wonder, that's why you are just a Thaksin follower like a puppy followed his master.
Only the fool who doesn't have enough IQ, will belive what the Junta said
Samak, please read the following article before you say anything.

(The Junta did this because they didn't want the world to see what was really happening there and at the same time they seized the donations from individuals and organization like founded by Ko Kyaw Thu from burma because they(junta) didn't want to show that they cannot able to cope the problem. They try to pretend this because they want to show the world that they able to cope the problems so that they will get less pressure from the world to allow in Aid workers. ...Bay Dah)

There is only one option Left for UN
Junta already rejected to accept International Aid workers and experts to enter Burma especailly from the western country.
We(the Burmese People) want to plea to the UN and all the International Governments around the world. If you really want to help Burmese People from dying there is only one thing left to do. "Enter Burma" by force and it is Legal and which was written in the UN Charter.
Don't waste time Burmese people are dying!!!
Villagers were forced to vote "yes" to the Junta Constitution
Source: http://www.khitpyaing.org/news/May_2008/9-5-08f.php
At Some Villages in Nam Kham Township, Shan States, villagers were forced to vote "yes" to the Junta's Constitution.
Villagers had to put theballot infornt of the Township Authorites such as Nam Kham Township Chairman U tin Hlaing, Township Chief Administrator U Hla Win, Commander Lt. Colonel Thein Htun of Infantry 290 Regiment.
Lt. Colonel Thein Htun sat beside the Ballot box and the villagers have to show the commender they tick on the "yes" Vote before they(villagers) put inside the ballot box At the Kun Hane Village, one Villager U Main Swae tick on the (X) no vote. The commander shout at the old man "What are you doing? Are you rebel against the country. Do you want to be send to prison" Then the township Chief administrator told the Commander..oh this person is uneducated, I will give him the new ballot and let him vote "yes". After that no more villagers dare to vote "No" any more and the Kun Hane Village Secretary personally ticked "Yes" vote for the villagers before put into the ballot box!!!!!
Another news from Kachin State, Myitkyina Township people were given PRE-TICK "Yes" vote ballots in advance.
While 100,000 people died and over 1 million people are homeless because of cyclone Nargis, these junta not interest of saving people, they only thinking about how to cheat the vote for the referendum!! They are worst then the evil
Don't let Junta cheat you.
TO All the Humanitarian Aid Organizations, the Humanitarian Agencies, and the International Government Bodies,
Probably all of you had already got this information mentioned below;..
"Burma wants supplies but not foreign aid workers, its foreign ministry says, hours after the UN chief urged military leaders to prioritise relief work. "
Why does the Junta so scare to allow the Aid workers and experts come into Burma? Why?
Don't let them cheat all of you. Just don't give them the supplies without any supervisions otherwise All the Supplies means for the Cyclone Nargis Victims will ended up in the military stock pile and eaten by their soldiers, make profit by the commanders and the money donated will go to the generals' Bank account.
We had been experience this so many times BEFORE, the computers which were donated for the civilians universities were ended in the military academies, medical equipments which were for the civilian Hospitals were ended in the military hospitals, UNDP (United Nation Development Programme) funded scholarships were taken by the Military personals, cheated the UNDP authorities by changing their Title from Colonel, Major, Captain so and so to U(means Mr. in Burmese) so and so , Director/deputy Director of so and so dept., etc
So please beware and don't let them cheat all of you and divert supplies for the Cyclone victims to their Military barracks.
Now it is time for the UN peace keeping forces to enter Burma(by force if necessary) to save our Burmese people. All the civilians will welcome the UN forces for sure.
Encountered Bad Experience while try to donate supplies to Cyclone victims
Source: From Ko Htike C box
I found this comment posted in the C box by someone, his/her own experience of (when went to donate food to the cyclone victims) how the Junta's Thugs prevented people to donate supplies to victim and try to take credit for themselves as they are the one who make the donations.
Actually the gov should do something , they said they are helping to ေလေဘး ဒုကၡသည္ (cyclone victims).I just want to share my own experience , our (xxxx) embassy families went to ဒုကၡသည္ (Cyclone victims) camp to distribute food and rice .
Now the whole world sees the JUNTA true color.
Cyclone Nargis hit Burma already a week ago and started showing the real damage, so far 100,000 people died and millions(many millions for sure) were homeless and nothing to eat and nowhere to stay.
All the countries ready to help the Burmese people. They are waiting at the Thailand Bangkok Airport ready to ship Tons and Tons of supplies to Burmese people. {According to the latest report they just allow one UN flight to Land at Rangoon after one week the cyclone hit Burma!! believe it or not!!}
What the military Junta doing .. NOTHING. NOTHING AT ALL. They asked the AID workers to apply for VISA who come and help their Burmese people. They even close the Embassy in Bangkok today(Thai Public holiday). Do they have time for the Holiday while their own Burmese people are DYING. What Kind of Devil these Military People are?
These Military Junta they don't interest in saving their Own people from Dying. They Don't care about the Millions of Burmese people are Homeless and Nothing to eat, No shelter, NO food.
But these Junta are planing. But they are NOT Planing about how to save and help the Burmese People. They are ONLY planing how to get hold of the power when the international Aid people are coming.(They think international Aid Agency and volunteers as an invasion force!!!). They are planing how to gain Politically from the Cyclone Nargis, How to make the their names and their faces become Popular by standing in front of TV camera and giving food to cyclone survivors. They are planning how to RELABEL on the supplies which were sent by international Aid organization with their own name so that it looks like the supplies were send by them(by doing so they(junta) think Burmese people will start thinking the Generals as saviours and vote "YES" to their "so called" draft constitution)
And where is Gen. Than Shwe the "so called" country leader? Already one week passed, even not saying single word about the Cyclone, not a single word he felt sorry for the people. No where insight.(probably hiding and packing his properties which were stolen from the countries, probably he might think it is beginning of the end, as like others generals he might think the invasion forces(International Aid Organizations) are coming. (Probably he will come out on TV tomorrow and say pity for the victims after he was informed about my article, like as they always do, trying to prove their critics are wrong!!)
Now the whole world see these Than Shwe and his generals and his followers true colors.
THEY DON"T EVEN INTEREST 100,000 OF THEIR OWN BURMESE PEOPLE DYING. THEY DON'T INTEREST MILLIONS OF THEIR OWN BURMESE PEOPLE ARE HOMELESS AND NOTHING TO EAT AND DYING, HUNGRY, THIRSTY AND STARVING.
WHAT THEY ONLY INTEREST IS HOW TO SECURE THEIR POWER, HOW TO HOLD ON TO THEIR POWER. HOW TO MAKE POLITICAL GAIN OUT OF CYCLONE NARGIS. HOW TO POSE IN FRONT OF TV CAMERA DISTRIBUTING OTHER PEOPLE DONATIONS AS THEIRS.
Where are the soldiers who killed monks and people in last year September 2007. That time thousands of them came quickly all over the cities and countries to kill people. Now where are they(Military) to clean up the damages and debris? Where are their Thugs who beat up monks and students last year? No one in sight. They always says they protect the country where are they now? Are they protecting the country or the generals?
If you look at the TV news from the international media, you can see all the cleaning up were/are done by the civilians and monk themselves. No army no authorities came and help especially in Rangoon(They(junta) hate people from Rangoon because they think Rangoon people always up against them.)
Now Military Junta showing their TRUE COLORS very clearly to the world. Now the world know what kind of these people are. They(Junta) are worst than the evil.
WHO IS DOING THE REAL WORK? THE PEOPLE AND THE MONKS OR THE GENERALS? SEE FOR YOURSELF AT THE PICTURES.

How Low they are? Junta take political gain out of Nargis
You must be already familiar with the regular news about how Junta not allow international Humanitarian Aids workers come into Burma or the Junta initially reject the offered from UN. Some of you will wonder how come? the country was badly hit by the cyclone and the country ruler rejected the Humanitarian Aids offer from other countries.
As for Burmese, these things are nothing news, these are the Junta STANDARD PROCEDURE. They want the Grass root people of Burma seen them as Saviors of them.
Like the way they always practice. Whenever there were donations from others countries for the natural disasters victims, what they(junta) did was they didn't allow the Aid workers from donation countries came along with the supplies. Why? There is 2 reasons for this.
First reason; They(junta) didn't want the donation countries people know that they RELABEL the donations supplies as donate from the generals or the various Military Divisions.(so that they can take credit as a donors to the general Public)
Second reason; If they(junta) allow the Humanitarian Aid workers go to the disaster area, the local people will start knowing that the military cannot handle the situation that's why people from other countries come and help. They Junta don't want this. What they want is, to make the people think that they(military) are the only organization that help them(public).
They have been practise like this for so many years. (That is one of the reason, the junta cutoff its people with outside world)
Now look at the recent TV from Myanmar Television. Instead of showing how much damage or how much people suffered, the TV showed the General stood in front of the people and giving token supplies and also showed the supplies Boxes with the names of the Generals on it as all these supplies were donated by them.
How low they are, they used the Cyclone disaster as the opportunity for their political gain and their popularity.
If they really care about the Burmese people, let the International Aid agency come into Burma, like the way Indonesia allowed the aid workers to come to Indonesia freely during tsunami.
JUNTA, I CHALLENGE YOU..if you REALLY CARE about our BURMESE PEOPLE allow the Aid workers come into Burma FREELY.
People died everywhere and people need help, Forget about all these DAMN Politics.

You can read compilations of all the news reports from various sources about Rangoon hit by the cyclone Nargis at the this link: http://hurricanehunters.blogspot.com/ !!!!)
Rangoon in the Middle of the storm
On the road of Rangoon people were running with their belongings and tried to stop all the cars passed by.
The local eye witness who was fortunately able to contact explained that "Rangoon was totally devastated" hysterically repeated again and again.
The person who looked around the Rangoon after the rain stop said he couldn't dare to go another 1 km and turned back because he didn't bare to see the total destruction of the Rangoon city. The big tress and the Big sign Board were felled on the road and the houses everywhere.
The person continued that he had never seen like this in his whole life.
According to the sources from Rangoon, Kyauktan town which was near by Rangoon had more destruction.
In Rangoon, at Sanchaung Township, all the zinc roofs were Flying in the air and the sky was red colour.
The Cyclone started around Friday midnight and still going strong till now(Saturday morning 3 May 2008). All the electricity and telephone line were cut off and all the zinc roofs were flying around in the air and there were a big loud strange noises.
The were more destruction in Irrawaddy division and expected high causality.
Near Hanthawadi circle(near the Burma Broadcasting and TV stations), the big trees were uprooted and all the big sign board were felled apart and the wind was still strong and there were no government Municipal people to clear the Road and the debris.
All the satellite dishes were destroyed and all the zinc roofs were spread everywhere. No one dared to go outside and even there were not a single dog nor cat on the street.
The rain drops moved HORIZONTALLY like the steam from the cattle pot. Since the roof are destroyed people were the nailed the door from outside and locked the door and stayed in their houses with fear.
Since people were not expected that the cyclone was that big, no one prepare to stock up the food and there might be a danger of food shortage everywhere.
