Asia Society's Propaganda Mission S

Subject: Asia Society's Propaganda Mission Sept 24

Perhaps the Asia Society can  comment on its tourist voyage last
February to promote "exchange of views" and cultural understanding.

Did they ever print anything up on this trip to Burma, denounced
around the world, defended by Asia Soc mouthpieces. 

Remember, this would be like entertaining the Fascist Nazi German
foreign minister in the thirties. Of course, Burma is only turning its 
guns against its own people, so the whole world basically doesnt give a
damn if they kill themselves, except a few determined individuals groups
leaders and governments. 

Perhaps the "foreign minister" will plead for human understanding and
good will. 

That he be given a forum to wage his propaganda campaign outside the UN
diplomatic immunity protected territory is a total disgrace for New York
City and its citizens.

I hope you ALL come out in Force! Don't pay 10 dollars to Asia Society.
Stay outside and make so much noise that they will not even be able to
hear the questions inside. I know its a small place and you can easily
hear the racket from the street outside from the inside.  Ive been
inside many times.
