last night the burmese "junta" agree to open talks with the democratically elected burmese peoples representation, after a meeting with the UN rep . . . .
The media spin of "doom doom" in the west, with the odd "deprioritisation" of this sort of mould-breaking news - with its echoes of the end of apartheid in south africa, or the irish peace processes "key moments" - is suspicious, but . . . . breaking news???? MUCH TO DO, keep up pressure, but FIGHT THE HYPE too!

MUCH TO DO, keep up pressure, but FIGHT THE HYPE too!
World news reports last night showed that pressures "under the surface" too must have shown the opening of good results - these sort of meetings were seen as FAR from possible . . . . there was much doubt in the media that the UN rep was going to get to meet the chief of the burmese armed forces.
Far more pressure is needed - this pressure doesnt need to fall into the trap of getting used to amp up the "COLDWAR": FAREAST" theme of the warbucks types, seeing as the pressure that got these things to happen did come from china - but as china tightens its border to prevent the methamphetamines precursor materials from getting into burma (- used, it seems, to deaden the burmese soldiers to the reasonings of their communities, etc, allowing a short-term control effect) peoples, governments, religious types of all sorts, should STEP UP THE PRESSURE.
FREE THE MONKS
FREE THE PEOPLE TAKEN HOSTAGE
END THE FORCED SLAVERY
THIS PEACE IS POSSIBLE TOO
Opening talks to allow a different future, a safe peace process that includes all in that good future - the minorities within burma too - several good futures are possible - the burmese people dont need to allow burmas resources to get stolen cheap - by "corporations" that often pretend they are "from" various nations, but seem to show little loyalty to those communities either.
A WORD OR TWO MORE ABOUT THE ODD SPIN.
It does seem that the "media" - or those that influence the media - were trying to paint the "junta" into a corner. Why has the alleged "background" in reports so often jumped from 1988 to 2007 without a mention of the fact that the ENTIRE armed forces was happy to allow a democratic election as recently as a few years ago, or the fact that legitimised democratic leadership was there to talk to, (unexecuted) in a way that there wasnt in Iraq.
If the lack of media/ western support for efforts HERE are lacking - how much harder for old Warbucksprofiteers assortment of "tail wags dog" types to get war going in different bits of the world.
There are LOADS of things its possible for people to do.
It seems all too often people have got scammed that their "options" were MUCH less, when there was so much more to/for all of us . . . . to do.
