Excerpt from Junta Press (r)



What a pity, the mouthpiece of the mililtary regime has to resort to
"mud-slinging" and lowly "gossip column type reporting". It would come much
more nearer in striving to attain the level of standard reporting, if the
NLM would refrain from using such tasteless articles.

In reply to the paragraph below:-

"The international community has understood that these persons are not
the philanthropists but the morons disregarding the international codes
of conduct or the criminals launching aggressive acts and insults on
sovereignty of a UN member nation."

I would like to quote the following:-

The United Nations' Secretary-General Kofi Annan, in his speech on the
Occasion of the Week of Solidarity with Peoples of All Colonial Territories
Fighting for Freedom, Independence and Human Rights states the
interrelatedness between self-determination and human rights as follows:-

Ultimately, the struggle for independence, for self-rule - for the right of
a people to be a master of it own destiny - is the struggle for human
rights. Let us therefore remember that while human rights begin with
independence, they do not end there. It is the solem duty of all new
nations - whether in Africa or Asia - to honour their independence by
rewarding their peoples with genuine human rights for all, including the
right to development and all civil and political rights.

The issue of the legitimacy of the states and governments is outlined in the
UNPO Statement On Self-Determination as below:-

States exist for the sole purpose of fulfilling three fundamental tasks: 1)
to protect the population of the state; 2) to promote the economic , social
and cultural welfare of that population; and 3) to represent the interest of
that population externally, that is, internationally.

Where a state, or its government, does not fulfill these functions over a
period of time, but instead represses or even kills the people it is
supposed to protect; destroys their culture, economically exploits them; or
represents other interests other then those of the people, then that state
or government lacks legitimacy in respect of the whole population of the
state or that section of population which it oppresses.

> and Tourism on daily wages. His father worked as a car broker in
> Mandalay.
>
> He got close into acquaintance with  foreigners while working as a

> the letter of appointment to work as a general employer on daily  wages
> with monthly earnings of about US $ 400 at Lewis Ranch Company based
> at  5624, Putha Creek Road, Winters, California, US, on 8  March 1988.
>
> With that appointment letter he applied for a passport in April 1988
> and lawfully left Myanmar for the United States in June that year. For
> him, leaving Myanmar was not because of any political belief. Even the
> 13th-March problem had not yet occurred at the time the appointment was
> delivered to  him.
>
> After arriving in America, Zarni who had enjoyed the taste of the life
> of getting a substantial amount of money from foreigners for holding
> their shoes and suitcases switched his life to the life a new-stock
> runaway as a means to escape from the hardships he was facing as a
> general employer at the  company because of the social living  standard
> of an ordinary family of a car broker  he was brought up from and the
> life he had to be struggling as a tourist guide on daily wages.
>
> Afterwards, Zarni under the arrangement of old-stock runaways attended
> a post-graduate course at Wisconsin University in Madison to disguise
> himself to live under the name of a real student. After that, he took
> the leading role in setting up FBC.
>
> Zarni, who knew thoroughly about the liking of foreigners, was always a
> nose ahead of other runaways as he could work to the liking of
> foreigners. With the manipulations and directions from behind, he used
> the Internet in forming Free Burma Campaign Areas and was able to start
> with the instigation to oppose Visit Myanmar Year 1996, withdrawal of
> the companies from Myanmar which have investments in the nation and
> release of prisoners.
>
> The one who was in the main position in controlling and giving commands
> to Zarni was Phil Cooney. Larry Dohars was leading Seattle Campaign for
> Free Burma and David Wolfburg was taking the vital role in leading the
> organizations and movements of Los Angeles Campaign for Free Burma.
>
> In addition to the above mentioned Free Burma Campaign areas,
> organizational activities were launched by presenting E-Mail lists in
> America and other countries as the lists of focus group in the
> Internet. It is known that there were acts  conducted in connection
> with the organizations under the name of Burma  Action Groups.
>
> It is not a matter to be wondered about that these organizations under
> the name of Burma Action Groups were mainly led and directed by aliens
> and Myanmar runaways were just the followers. Opportunely-arriving new-
> stock runaways were the ones who were not in a position to launch
> systematic political propaganda and perpetration. They were posing
> themselves as democracy heroes in name only just to be used in showing
> the strength in the level of just gnawing at the bones.
>
> The one who was leading Burma Action Committee based in Portland, the
> State of Oregon, was Brain Schmidt and the one who was leading
> Environmental Coalition of California University in Los Angeles was
> Yuki Kidokoro.
>
> A woman naned Nacy kok was leading the movements of Free Burma Campaign
> at the Cornell University and Shwe Hti took the responsibility as her
> subordinate and factotum. Shwe Hti is no other person. He associated
> with Ar Yu of ABSDF and got engaged in the work in Maesot which was
> similar to that of a brothel keeper. He can be said as the one who had
> to find a sleeping companion, when Dr Aung Naing and Dr Kyaw Thet Oo of
> ABSDF were afraid of ghosts to sleep alone.
>
> Douglas Steel was the one who led the organizational activities and
> movements of Free Burma Campaign at Georgetown University in Washington
> DC. He was showing his skill in the anti-Myanmar affairs with the

> Thee Zun group onto the Internet.
>
> Annabelle Ripper was leading Free Burma Campaign at Mary Washington
