Native Communities Brace for the Worst

As America and the free world pat them selves on the back for their response to Haiti’s cry for help American Indian communities continue to live in post disaster conditions. Only difference between the Haitians and the American Indian is, help never arrived for the Natives. With an onslaught of brutal winter storms and sub zero conditions impoverished American Natives are struggling to stay alive. Such is the case of the *Cheyenne River Sioux of South Dakota.

As of this writing the tribe has depleted their emergency funds, their water supply has ceased and electric service has all but stopped working. The merciless winter storms continue to wreak havoc across their reservation with no end in sight. Roads have become deadly ribbons of impassable sheets of ice. Other tribes face similar consequences such as the Oglala, Standing Rock and Navaho nations as they face one of the harshest winters in recent history. The Crow Creek Sioux and others who already faced criminality from utility companies in past winters are surly in dire straights as well.

It is astounding to realize that in the land of milk and honey ambivalence to the cries of the original inhabitances are simply ignored. This is America’s secret shame because this is not an isolated event but an on going crime against humanity. Human beings had their power shut off intentionally by unscrupulous electric companies in the dead of winter regardless if people were on life support, elderly or households filled with children. Where is the great orator who needed Native votes in the last election, the Incredible Mr. Obama, better known as President Pinocchio? It’s been a year since he promised to assist the Crow Creek Sioux over the atrocious actions of Central Electric Cooperative. The Buffalo Soldier rides again.

The mainstream media has all but ignored the plight of the American Indian and only through native media outlets, bloggers and compassionate human beings are these heinous crimes against humanity being exposed to the world at large. Gary Owen continues to echo across the barren plans as tribal people wait in perpetuity for help that will never arrive. Programs continue to get cut as politicians continue to pad the pockets of corporate interests and enrich themselves with bail-outs designed to save their investments AIG and other criminally negligent corporations. Ironically greed has taken on a new dimension since now these politicians have started eating their own in an interesting twist of fate. But as usual it will be the Native communities who will continue to bare the brunt of the economic collapse since we are always placed in the back of the line when aid or assistance is concerned.

American and Canadian policies towards the Indigenous populations are nothing short of an act of eugenics (selective genocide). The new cottage industry on reserves across the America’s is the mortuary business since death has become common place. On my reservation alone, funerals have become a weekly affair as our young die at an alarmingly higher rate than our elders. Despair, hopelessness and sorrow are the culprits that are ravaging mine and other tribes. Possibly, freezing to death in these harsh winter months is a more humanitarian way for our people to depart this hateful and greedy world after all. I’ve lost count of the deaths in my family and I am much bitterer for it. For you boneheads who think I should forgive the past I must inform you that I can not because I am still struggling to forgive the present. From my vantage point the future does not hold any acquiescence or forgiveness either.

Only when Mother Earth cleanses this fetid planet of the disease of greed will a smile return to my face. Fortunately the day of retribution is at hand and soon everyone will know what it is like to live in the world of ambivalence. I relish the day of reckoning.

Dark Humor, Earth Changes and a Piece of Fry Bread

From the perspective on my people it is almost comical that this so called civil society can not see the signs that were taught to them within their respective dogmas. Signs of change swirl around almost daily yet a hopelessly ambivalent world fails to recognize the obvious. Granted, some people I have interviewed told me point blank they don’t care to recognize them and would rather die obliviously. Religions and belief systems from around the world hold the key to surviving the times that lay ahead but I guess these folks have not paid attention to these minor details or chose not to. How far beyond stupid is that eh?

I find this darkly humorous since these people don’t really follow the axioms of their dogmas. They cheery pick ideologies and scriptures that suit their needs then ignore the others that are to inconvenient. So, for these people the Time of Change will be the End of the World because money and material gain will have no meaning in the future. There is some poetic justice in this, don’t you think? For my people this era will remain the Time of Change and I welcome its arrival. Don’t think my people corner the market on the key to survival, not by a long shot. But there are some commonalities within all dogmas that are actually quite simple and I don’t think you have to slaughter your first born son either. I am tempted at times but that does not have anything to do with Earth Changes.

Surviving these times is no secret but one must have a very real spiritual connection. Simply dumping cash in offering plates will not buy spirituality nor guarantee safe passage in the coming days of pandemonium. The list of catastrophic events, both Earth bound and Stellar, will stagger the imagination and one’s sensibilities. Many events are still not known to modern science. The impossible will soon become the possible and we will wish explorers did not burn all the codices of ancient civilizations. Events will cross over into the paranormal aspect of our existence as well. Things we chose to consider foolish or ridiculous will wreak fear into the hearts of millions who never were taught the realities of the spirit world. Dealing with the supernatural will become common place for those who truly grasp this concept. Knowing which spirit is good or bad will be a major issue since this is where the key to surviving the changes lay. And that’s the long and the short of it, lock stock and tomahawk.

Whether you’re Celtic, Comanche or Kachin it’s all the same spirit world and basically the rules of engagement don’t change. The only real differences are the traditions that lead to the same end. If you expect to survive the Earth Changes then you had better know how to recognize the spirits that will approach you in the future. Sadly, for many people just the mere sight of a spirit will send them under their beds or grasping their bottle of Zoloft. People already freak out over space dudes whizzing around in their Dixie Cups and that is just plain silly. The secret to survival is knowing which spirit or entities are good or bad because we either heed their warnings or not. Sounds too easy but in all reality the key to survival is a simple one. But you must have absolute faith within the path or dogma you walk since you will have to ask (within your tradition) if a spirit is cool or not. You will need to have absolute faith within your dogma and accept the answer you receive. Once you have your answer you either listen to this spirit or tell this charlatan to bug off since there will be a bazillion false messengers eager to lead you astray.

One of the greatest falsehoods in all of civilization is the notion any one religion or dogma is better than the other. You need to get of this hobby horse of religious ego and except the fact the Creator sent messengers to all cultures in the universe. There is no such thing as a Holy War no matter what country purports this great lie. Small wonder we are living in the Time of Change. Mankind has bent religions to suit their world domination and monetary needs at the expense of humanity. But that will soon come to a close for Earth Changes will dominate the landscape as Ma Earth flexes her muscle and spanks humanity.

The key to survival is written on rocks, papyrus and paper. The time of change has been prophesized for untold millennia’s. The consequences of man’s greed were also foretold in a bazillion stories in every language in the universe. Signs of every kind were also foretold and they all share the same end. There is no altering the course of destiny of humanity at this juncture. It is foolish that world leaders have chosen to place monetary concerns over the concerns of human beings. They should be preparing their people for the inevitable catastrophes that are in store for all of mankind. Laughably this was also a part of prophesy as well since many people will be lead to their doom by false prophets and slick talkers.

As for me, I’ll just hang out with my family munching on some fry bread smattered in Indian butter, drink some tea and listen to our drum group. If a messenger (spirit) asks us to leave in order to avoid a flood, tornado or other life threatening event we will ask the Creator if this messenger was actually sent in a good way. If the messenger is a fraud I will swipe the last piece of fry bread before my cousin gets it. He always gets the last piece anyway. But if the messenger was sent to us by the Creator we will do as we have done for thousands of years and move our people to safety. We will build another village and resume our lives until the next messenger comes to us.

China Continues to Murder and We Look the Other Way

Along with bargain basement prices China also doles out death to anyone who opposes their ironfisted regime. Slavery has become a cottage industry as international corporations relocate to China to take full advantage of the lack of labor and environmental laws. On the other side of the coin consumers from around the world have become enablers by financing tyranny, wholesale rape, torture and murder for cheaper prices.

We as a so called civilized society have blinded ourselves of the realities of the brutality China has bestowed on their own people. We have blood on our hands as well as the executioners of China who continue to murder innocent people within their xenophobic society. Small wonder we are living in a time of such financial turmoil and environmental disasters. We’ve fanned the flames of our own demise and we wonder why. Well it is actually quite simple since we as a culture have cursed ourselves and are enjoying the rewards for our ambivalence.

There is no turning back the clock for what we have allowed to happen to innocent people for cheaper prices. We have only begun the much prophesized time of change where Ma Earth rids herself of all that is wrong with humanity. In most cases people will not care about what happens in China, Darfur or Burma but ultimately we all will pay dearly. I am forwarding a news item from my friends at the Falun Gong in an act of solidarity in an effort to make the absolute minority of the world’s population more aware of the cost of discount prices.

 Nearly 100 Falun Gong Practitioners Killed in 2009, Documents New Report

 04 Feb 2010

NEW YORK – Large numbers of Chinese citizens detained for practicing Falun Gong continue to die because of brutality suffered at police stations, labor camps and prisons across China, says a new Falun Dafa Information Center report released Monday.Drawing on both Chinese and international sources, the 46-page report, titled “Killed for Their Belief: Falun Gong Deaths from Abuse in 2009,” documents the deaths of 96 Falun Gong practitioners in 2009 (list). Due to frequent delays in reporting from China, the total death toll for the year is expected to climb further in the coming weeks.

“The key finding of this report – that 96 innocent people who were alive a year ago are now dead simply because of their choice of a spiritual faith – exemplifies the mortal danger facing every Falun Gong practitioner in China,” says Falun Dafa Information Center Executive Director Levi Browde. “We also must keep in mind that these are only the cases where friends or family were brave enough to report to us, and which we could verify…the true number of deaths is likely significantly higher.”

“Additionally, the details of the cases highlight that these deaths were not the result of arbitrary abuse by wayward local officials. Rather, they are the direct outcome of intentional instructions issued by Communist Party leaders to use every means possible to eradicate a system of belief practiced by millions,” says Browde. “Those responsible—at every level of the Party apparatus—must be brought to justice.” 

The victims named in the report come from all age groups, strata of society, and geographical regions. The vast majority died due to physical and psychiatric torture or by being denied their right to health while in custody. Many were killed within days, or even hours, of their detention. In one particularly jarring case, in April 2009, police abducted a 39-year-old woman from her home in Beijing. By evening, she was dead, reportedly after being severely shocks with electric batons (case of Ms. Sun Min).

In other cases, adherents were released into their family’s custody on the verge of death, only to pass away shortly thereafter. Last-minute discharges and speedy cremations are common tactics employed by the Chinese authorities to avoid responsibility for detainees dying in custody.

The 96 victims ranged from farmers to entrepreneurs, retired factory workers to bureaucrats, housewives to doctors. A large percentage had previously been illegally detained in labor or prison camps for practicing Falun Gong. As in previous years, Northeastern China was the deadliest region for adherents.

“The brutality of these extrajudicial killings, the geographical diversity of the incidents, and the impunity surrounding the deaths raise serious concerns about the wider societal implications of such violence for both victims and perpetrators,” says Browde. “There is little to guarantee that those who commit abuses again Falun Gong practitioners today will not do the same to other citizens tomorrow.”

The cases and details cited in the report were compiled from a variety of sources, including testimony of relatives or friends of the deceased, photographic evidence, and follow-up phone calls made by researchers to the relevant police or prison authorities. Photos are available particularly when practitioners were released from custody shortly before their death, in many cases, emaciated and showing marks of torture (case of Mr. Zhu Hongbing). 

Several cases also draw on reporting during the year by international media, the United Nations, and human rights groups. In June 2009, the Financial Times covered the story of Mr. Fu Ziming, who was killed in custody within days of his detention for writing “Falun Dafa is Good” while visiting a popular tourist attraction (case). The death of 66-year-old Mr. Jiang Xiqing in a Chongqing labor camp received widespread attention by human rights groups after the lawyers investigating his death were themselves detained and beaten by police (case). 

“Killed for Their Beliefs” also contains 16 recent cases of Falun Gong deaths due to abuse in custody as recorded by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Extrajudicial Executions in his annual report published in May 2009.

In total, since 1999, the Center has recorded the deaths of 3,352 Falun Gong practitioners as a result of various forms of persecution. Given the Chinese Communist Party’s significant efforts to obstruct the investigation of Falun Gong practitioners’ untimely deaths, the actual death tolls for 2009 and overall are believed to be significantly higher than what the Center has been able to document.

Additional Key Findings

In examining the details of the cases from 2009, several patterns emerge:

•    Fourteen practitioners died within two months of last arrest: These adherents—including individuals in their 30s and 40s—were killed within weeks, days or even hours of being taken into custody, often after being abducted from their homes, workplaces, or off the street.

•    Over one-third of deaths occurred in custody: In 33 of the 96 cases, the victim died in custody of the Chinese authorities, either in a prison, labor camp, “brainwashing” center, or detention center. In several cases, family members were able to view the adherents’ body and reported visible signs of torture.

•    Many died shortly after release due to torture in custody: Authorities routinely release Falun Gong practitioners when they are near death in order to avoid the potential liability of their dying in custody. The practitioner typically dies within days or months, as it is often too late for medical attention or renewed practice of the Falun Gong exercises to enable them to recuperate.

•    Deprivation of the right to health leads to over 20 deaths: Given the significant health benefits that a majority of Falun Gong practitioners report experiencing, denied the right to practice in custody, many adherents experience a recurrence of old illnesses or weakening immune systems that make them vulnerable to diseases such as tuberculosis. 21 deaths in 2009 resulted from either a recurrence of old diseases or contraction of new ones when the individual was denied medical attention or forbidden to practice the Falun Gong exercises.

•    Authorities consistently seek to cover-up Falun Gong deaths: The authorities frequently go to great lengths to cover-up the circumstances surrounding a Falun Gong practitioner’s death and thwart investigations into its cause, in violation of both Chinese and international law. Among the tactics recorded in 2009 were: threats to family members not to publicize their loved one’s death, coercion of relatives to approve cremation in order to destroy evidence of abuse, detention of family members pursuing information or compensation, physically “stealing” the body back from the family, and beating of lawyers trying to investigate.

•    Deaths in 24 provinces, but northeast remains the deadliest: Deaths were documented in 24 of China’s 31 provinces and municipalities, including Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang. However, the deadliest region by far was the northeast of the country. Deaths in the four provinces of Heilongjiang, Liaoning, Jilin and Shandong alone accounted for 42 of the 96 deaths. This follows trends from previous years and correlates to the popularity of Falun Gong in the region prior to its ban in 1999.

Thailand’s Repatriation of Refugees Halted

From my sources on the Thai/Burma border I was informed that the repatriation of Karen refugees to Burma was halted by the Thai government. Though our connection was sporadic at best I was also informed that the three families who were originally reported to be sent back to Burma were safe and back in Thailand. There was some confusion as to if they were turned around because of the fighting that was already in progress or they were simply ordered back to the refugee compound. In any event the repatriation of Karen refugees was halted, for now anyway. But we must be vigilant and not let our guard down since conditions can change at any moment for this may only be a stay of execution. Personally I believe His Excellency King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand got wind of this atrocities action and put a stop to it.

Communications was sketchy at best since it was clear that warring factions were in the midst of combat causing communications with my sources difficult at best. We made many calls to our sources on the border with great difficulty adding to the stress of not knowing the current situation for both the refugees and my associates. But after the link was made it was obvious that communications was strained because of a host of reasons, mainly war. Knowing everyone was safe despite the conflict on the other side of the border was welcome news indeed.   

According to our sources the discontinuation of this repatriation was a direct consequence of international outrage that ensued after Thailand’s plan originally surfaced. Other factors like a battle being waged in the region these beleaguered people were being returned to obviously played a major role. The Karen and other tribal people of Burma are no longer alone in their struggle to survive as journalists from around the world rally to expose Burma’s secrets. This should be an omen for all who have sided with General Than Shwe and his criminal regime for they will soon be under the microscope of world wide public opinion. Corporations who continue to disregard sanctions as well as nations will have to atone for their conduct as well since they are equally culpable for crimes against humanity. The *Dirty List of Burma’s enablers continues to grow.

Thailand’s Slide into a Moral Abyss

With reports of corrupt Thai officials working with Burmese soldiers in human trafficking, drug distribution and murder it was not surprising to learn Thailand plans to send *3,000 Karen refugees back to Burma and ultimately their deaths. The operation will begin on Feb. 15 and though the repatriation is said to be “voluntary” there is no doubt physical coercion at the end of a gun barrel will be the final outcome.

The notion Internally Displaced People who’ve just escaped slavery, rape and butchery at the hands of drug addicted Democratic Karen Buddhist Army thugs would want to re-enter the killing fields of Northern Burma is ludicrous at best. Thai soldiers have taken on the role of DKBA aggressors by raping murdering refugees who did not have extortion money on many occasions. The death toll of innocent victims has increased tenfold by the hand of Thai authorities. Such was the case with **9 refugees including a Chinese National who were murdered in cold blood by Police Sen Sgt Maj Somchai Pinkaew and his crew from Phop Phra district police station. Their crime was not having extortion money to pay the corrupt Thai officials.

Though Senior Sargent Somchai Pinkaew committed suicide before he could face trial his murderous acts opened a can of worms as to the realities of Thai officials tainted with Burmese junta money. Many Thai’s were supporters of fugitive ex PM Thaksin Shinawatra of Thailand who in turn was cronies with Gen. Than Shwe of Burma. Obviously the din of drug money and the profitability from human trafficking has become a cottage industry for Thai soldiers working along the border. With no regard for human life corrupt Thai authorities have targeted refugees for fun and profit. I still remember the little Karen school girl who was raped then dismembered deep in the Thai jungle whose perpetrators were identified as Thai soldiers. Again, she was not an isolated case as other victims were simple left to rot in the jungle and Thai soldiers were never found to face prosecution.

The trafficking of refuge babies still haunts my memories as DKBA and Thai soldiers would sell these infants to Thai restaurateurs. In turn these restaurateurs would take these babies and fatten them up. Whence they were plump the child would be placed in a vat filled with leeches. Then the leeches would drain the blood of the infant in a ghoulish feast. Later these juicy leeches would be fed to discerning western diners in one of many exotic restaurants in Bangkok and other tourist destinations within Thailand. The practice has not been stopped and babies continue to be trafficked by Thai and Burmese thugs. Of course western diners are oblivious to the nature of their cannibalistic cuisine.

Pat Pong Thailand, especially Pat Pong 1, teams with Burmese children who’ve been sold into prostitution according to survivors I’ve interviewed. The use of infants and pre pubescent children for sexual pleasure has provided another outlet for corrupt Thai officials who’ve sided with the DKBA. Eye witness accounts of wealthy Thai women who’ve taken 10 year old Burmese boys into sexual slavery stagger my sensibilities. Stories of dingy classrooms filled with kindergarten age children learning the fine art of oral copulation and other sexual talents paint a fetid picture of the level of depravity corrupt Thai officials imbibe in. Their callous disregard for human life only exemplifies their lacking in moral fortitude. So it makes me wonder if these Thai officials are trying to rid themselves of witnesses who could possibly identify them for crimes against children and humanity. For sending refugees back to Burma would truly be a death sentence.

Human trafficking of refugees has become common place do to it’s lucratively, ample supply and burgeoning market. Refugees fearful of reprisals by Thai authorities against family members still in centers along the border ask that their identities not be reveled. I can see the terror in their eyes. But there are plenty of written accounts throughout the mainstream press to substantiate these heinous claims and much more for I only skimmed the surface of Thailand’s dark secrets.

The sale of Burmese migrant fishermen to Thai captains who beat and murder their Burmese crewman is another national shame since these human beings are also trafficked by the DKBA and corrupt Thai officials along the border. Other horrific tales involving Burmese migrants who venture to Thailand are the stuff of horror films, provided they survive the border crossing and the drug crazed DBKA. So it is not surprising to learn the Thai government has begun a clamp down of sorts on the Burmese refugees. Reports of raids on ***Karen National Union enclaves and threatening journalists in Mae Sot Thailand has begun to trickle in from sources within the jungles of South Asia.

Thai officials have turned a blind eye on the plight of these impoverished people as gun barrel diplomacy replaces sanctuary in a land that once was considered a safe haven from Burma’s killing fields. The refugees were told the repatriation was voluntary but only a fool would return to their villages since the DKBA has riddled the place with land mines maiming men women and children alike. Yet the world looks on as Thailand prepares to send 3,000 refugees to their certain deaths. Has Thailand sided with tyranny and genocide? Only time will tell as the Feb. 15 deadline approaches. The jungle has many eyes and undoubtedly I will receive eye witness accounts of the atrocities committed by the Thai government whence the Karen’s Trail of Tears begins. The world is watching, Thailand, and so am I.

Obama Strikes Again

After blowing trillions of taxpayer dollars behind closed doors while selling our democracy Obama had a lot of nerve to lecture people on the evils of spending. If ole mommy pants did not dish out enough blarney he then tossed a jab at the *City of Las Vegas Nevada, again. Like a pot calling the kettle black this president proved once again that if he lie’s long enough people will begin to think he is thrifty. Nothing could be further than the truth. Obama, your un-American is showing, again.

With stimulus packages lining the pockets of China and other nations this guy has a lot of nerve lashing out at a community that is as American as apple pie. But what do you expect from a president that has turned treason into a fashion statement and totally disregards the Constitution of the United States of America? It would appear that anything inherently American should be disrespected and dissolved in favor of non American entities. Possibly he would rather bolster China or Indian tourist trade as well since he has done everything AGAINST American enterprises and industries in favor of foreign countries.

But what is most infuriating about this attack on Vegas is the fact he is talking out of both sides of his double speaking mouth. His runaway spending spree while padding the pockets of cronies and countries who don’t like us will lead us into a financial cataclysm. Nancy Pelosi’s $120,000 junket to Copenhagen exposed the true nature of this double standard administration. It also showed the total disregard this president has for America and her people by this assault on an American Icon such as Las Vegas Nevada. Shame on you mommy pants. No wonder you will be remembered as the worst president in US history beating out Jimmy Carter.

Scientists or Alchemists

Look, up in the air. It’s a bird; it’s a plane it’s hmm. Whatever it is, it’s whizzing around at approximately *90 millions away and scientists don’t have a clue what it is. Since we’ve entered into a much more tumultuous phase of Earth Changes it’s not surprising that science is finding it harder and harder to explain things they truly do not understand. From a tribal perspective, it’s time to break out the lawn chairs because the show is about to get better.

The realities of the times we live dictate that more astronomical events will take center stage in the future. Eventually may people will begin to panic as more such objects, crafts or beings make their presents known. Earth born anomalies have also begun to occur as Ma Earth prepares for her polar shift. Planetary alignments will yield a bounty of unexplainable events to the chagrin of our pocket protector wearing sleuths from the scientific communities around the world. Ironically corporatists will also find a way to capitalize on these events like they have with global warming.

Politicians should be preparing their citizenry for the coming catastrophes not capitalizing on them. The reality of global warming and acidification of the ocean lay in volcanism along the 40,000 rift that separates the tectonic plates of the Earth. The warming of the sun by 2 degrees Celsius also played into the mix. Other planets experienced the shrinking of their polar caps at the very same time Earth did but scientists managed to come up with a host of excuses as to way it all was just a coincidence. The real news about the environment should have been the fact volcanoes continue to erupt like never before in recorded history. They are dumping trillions of tons of poisonous deadly gases into the environment almost daily making mans contribution as indistinguishable as a grain of sand in a world of beaches. **Kilauea volcano of Hawaii has continued to erupt spewing trillions and trillions of tons of sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide into the ozone since 1983. The list of volcanic eruptions is reaching astronomical proportions with barely a peep from so call scientists.

It is funny how the elite class is stockpiling their underground shelters with sustenance around the world though. There are some very large and complex shelters around the country paid for with taxpayer dollars and we the people will not be invited when the time comes, but that’s another story. Instead, the public is painted a Polly Anna picture of Earth Changes and how man can “save” the planet. At least the elite class is preparing but sadly the doors to their shelters will be locked to the likes of us. Funny part of all this is what was said in a vision, “their sanctuary will be their tomb”, so maybe we will have the last laugh anyway.

History has already suggested that many civilizations have perished from global climate shifts that were directly related to ***volcanic activity that altered the climate. Other astronomical events have also caused cataclysmic events that also altered the course of human history and there were no diesels or coal fired furnaces on the planet to blame. The Little Ice Age from 1600 to 1800 was only a precursor to the events that lay ahead yet scientists have become alchemists by turning natural events into gold by siding with billionaire investors such as George Soros, Warren Buffet and Al Gore who’ve invested billions on the climatic scam of the century. Scientists need to grow a “pair” and stand behind their research rather than be patsies in political rhetoric. Like it or not, this is all a scam and the public will suffer needlessly by not being informed of the truth so they can prepare.

What really gets my goat are the eclectic Earthers who march on the axiom of ancient prophesies of Earth Change then contradict themselves by placing blame on man. It’s either prophesies or it’s not for we can not have it both ways ideologically. The outcome was also prophesized and nowhere did they make mention man would find a cure and alter destiny. I know within my tradition and visions that mankind is absolutely powerless to alter the cycles of Ma Earth, plain and simple. Rather than line the pockets of the same players who continue to lie to the public we should be preparing for climate change and a host of other anomalies that will soon overwhelm humanity. The disaster in Haiti is only a precursor of things to come for no place on Earth will be untouched by change. Scientists will soon learn that chemistry can change in ways they never thought possible. Now that science has merged with politics the truth will evade the public’s ear as scientists, turn alchemists, try to convert global change into gold for a select few and that’s the bottom line, lock stock and tomahawk.

Address by KNU President Saw Tamlabaw on 61st Anniversary of Karen Revolutionary Day

Dear All Karen Nationals, Officers and Men of the Karen National Liberation Army,

On the 61st Anniversary of the Karen people’s revolutionary resistance which falls on January 31, 2010, I would like to extend firstly, my best wishes to officers and men of the KNLA and the Karen people for the best of health and spirit.

• We the Karen are a people desiring freedom and peace. We have lost freedom and peace due to oppressive domination by the chauvinists. Though the Karen people had peacefully made a demand for their apposite rights, the oppressive AFPFL government not only ignored the demand but also started to militarily attack the KNU headquarters on January 31, 1949, the Karen people’s movement has become an armed conflict, when the Karen people started to resist.

• We, the Karen people, have experienced the oppression and unjust war imposed on us by successive regimes and the ruling military clique for 61 years now. Though we have faced various difficulties and crises, we are still in existence because of the faithful sacrifices, in life and blood, made by the Karen people and members of the Karen National Liberation Army.

• With great foresight, leaders of the KNU have consistently endeavored to resolve the political problems by political means. They have talked with the military dictatorship on a number of occasions. However, the military dictatorship, without any desire to resolve the conflict by peaceful means, has continued its attempt to annihilate the Karen people’s resistance by military means. It has been destroying all the possessions of the Karen people. It is only telling us to “enter the legal fold and surrender arms.”

• I would like to warn all of you to be especially alert to the wicked and evil machination by the ruling military clique to divide and breakup the Karen resistance organization and the Karen people, in this year of 2010. We must oppose all attempts by the enemy to divide us. Though the ruling military dictatorship has been saying that it is going to hold a democratic the election in 2010, it is still waging war in the Karen State and violating human rights. This act is a systematic plan by the military clique to eliminate the entire Karen people. It has also systematically carrying out the scheme to assassinate top leaders of the KNU, by various means. Though the Karen revolutionary resistance has been in existence for more than 60 years, as the entire Karen people have not still reached the expected goal, we must struggle on to gain the free and peaceful Karen land, with self-determination, aspired to by the entire Karen people.

For that reason and in conclusion, I would like to urge the entire Karen people and the KNLA to struggle on under the guidance of the KNU and in accordance with the 4 principles of Saw Ba U Gyi, with durable courage and correct national spirit, together with fellow oppressed ethnic nationalities and the democratic forces, until the termination of the military dictatorship.
