Why ‪#‎Democracy‬ is flawed by its very nature and ‪#‎SanSuuKyi‬ silent on ‪#‎RohingyaCrisis‬ to secure ‪#‎Buddhist‬ votes

Why ‪#‎Democracy‬ is flawed by its very nature
‪#‎SanSuuKyi‬ silent on ‪#‎RohingyaCrisis‬ to secure ‪#‎Buddhist‬ votes
Brilliant article by the BBC - for once - on why San Suu Kyi remains silent on the Rohingyan ethnic cleansing. A democratic leader would be against the persecution of ethnic minorities usually but due to this call for stopping the persecution on Muslims would not really give her any votes (As the Rohingyan can't vote anyway), she decides to remain silent on the issue to appease the Buddhist majority who will be most likely putting her to power on the next elections.
This article by the BBC highlights how democracy is flawed by its very nature. When mankind is allowed to legislate they naturally are biased towards the 'societal norm' and not what is correct.
Her democracy (power for the people by the people) tells her that the Rohingya are not humans, they are animals to be slaughtered and eaten, driven out and raped - because this is what the majority believe and therefore it is democratic of her to believe in this too. It also makes her a 'good' political leader as politics is looking after the affairs of the people. The affairs of the Buddhist majority would like to ethnically cleanse their land of Muslims as they believe them to be taking all the jobs, over populating and raping Buddhist girls (propaganda as a pretext).
We should take lessons from such democratic leaders that have been put in place by the West. Lessons on how democracy does not bring justice but is formed on the basis of public opinion, societal norms, biases and corruption. Whereas Islam is based on fixed principles that do not change over time.
Read my blog post on proofs that Aung San Suu Kyi is a Western puppet - its out in the open that the US back her and fund her heavily.
Here's the BBC article top points if you don't want to read the entire thing.
"Now at liberty, living in the same Yangon house but in a much-changed country, Aung San Suu Kyi is free to speak her mind. But she's selective about her causes."
"In parliament, where she sits as an opposition MP, the 69-year-old frequently criticises the government for the slow pace of reform, and restates her increasingly forlorn demands for constitutional change.
But on the persecution of Myanmar's most famously forgotten minority Ms Suu Kyi is silent."
"From a simple human rights perspective it's a continuing outrage that should shame us all.
So why, despite the calls from around the world is Ms Suu Kyi, the Nobel Peace Prize winner, reluctant to raise her voice?"
"The simplest explanation, voiced repeatedly over the last few weeks, is that she's always been a pragmatic politician not a human rights activist.
By defending the Rohingya, Ms Suu Kyi would immediately put herself at odds with powerful Buddhist nationalist groups, potentially changing the dynamics of this year's all important general election.
An already unpredictable vote would become super-charged with religious and ethnic tensions."
"There was some evidence of Ms Suu Kyi's extreme caution earlier this year when United Nations envoy Yanghee Lee visited.
After Ms Lee highlighted the plight of the Rohingya, the monk Ashin Wirathu delivered a vulgar speech describing the South Korean in derogatory terms."

"It was demeaning and outrageous and the UN's human rights chief in Geneva soon called on all of Myanmar's leaders to condemn the monk.
Opposition leader Ms Suu Kyi remained silent."
"That's despite Yanghee Lee being Asian, female, a human rights advocate and being described in the most misogynistic language possible in Ms Suu Kyi's home town. It didn't look good."
(Basically Wirathu called the UN envoy Yanghee Lee a 'whore' in a public speech)
"Giving a strong quote on the Rohingya or Yanghee Lee might hand out a bloody nose or two and satisfy the human rights lobby, but it won't actually change anything on the ground."
"With ethnic minority parties likely to pick up a chunk of the seats, and a quarter automatically allocated to the army, Ms Suu Kyi's party, the National League for Democracy (NLD), needs to dominate the ethnically Bamar constituencies."
"To do that she'll need the support of the monks and a solid claim to be patriotically defending the Buddhist state. Sadly there are only votes to be lost in Rohingya rights."

Aung San Suu Kyi the American project for democratising Burma

Aung San Suu Kyi

-          Leader of the National League for Democracy political party
-          Under house-arrest for 15 years and gaining prominence as world’s most prominent political prisoner.
-          Presented with the Congressional Gold Medal, which is, along with the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honour in the United States.
-          Religion: Buddhist

Events that prove that San Suu Kyi has western backing

In 1996 San Suu Kyi was first detained and imprisoned and shortly after in the same year the U.S. created a broadcasting media under the name of ‘Radio Free Asia’ to broadcast in East Asia, a part of the Broadcasting Board of Governors that is a United States government agency and receives full funding from U.S budget. This radio station is seen as a staunch supporter of San Suu Kyi and helped build her reputation throughout her 15 years in prison to become the world’s most famous political prisoner. It is funded by U.S. and located in Washington – one of many ways America uses the media to push its political aims.
Her arrest and subsequent trial received worldwide condemnation by the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, the United Nations Security Council and Western governments.
In 2006 a Washington based organisation called ‘Freedom Now’ which mainly focuses on releasing democratic activists, i.e. those activists that America has placed in certain countries to push reforms and democracy, had enlisted San Suu Kyi as their goal to release from prison.

Freedom Campaign, which is a joint venture between the Human Rights Action Center and U.S. Campaign for Burma have events planned to stage huge concerts with well-known talents such as Black-Eyed Peas and Damien Rice to raise awareness about San Suu Kyi as well as gain more popularity for democratic alternatives to military rule. They have also released a documentary film ‘Freedom from Fear’ that will be secretly filmed in Burma via satellite – this movie is focusing on the life of San Suu Kyi.
U.S. Campaign for Burma is a democracy movement in Burma that evolved out of the ‘Free Burma Coalition’ that also was established in the U.S. at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Its aims changed slightly in 2008 to be primarily focused on ending military rule in Burma for a democratic rule under San Suu Kyi. Yet another movement directly funded by the National Endowment for Democracy and Open Society George Soros Foundation. One of its few missions states “To strengthen the position of the rightful leaders of Burma, 1991 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and the democratically elected National League for Democracy, by cutting the political and economic lifelines of the ruling military junta”
Burma Campaign UK is a UK based NGO that has similar aims to the U.S. Campaign for Burma and has been vocal in the issue of Rohingyan Muslims persecution. It seems from the apparent that they are using the pretext of inequality to push an all-inclusive democratic Burma representing the people, i.e. participatory democracy. However San Suu Kyi has remained silent on the issue of Burmese Muslims genocide and ethnic cleansing – mainly due to the credibility the party would lose from the Buddhist majority.

U.S. President Barack Obama personally advocated the release of all political prisoners, especially Aung San Suu Kyi, during the US-ASEAN Summit of 2009.
In a personal letter to Suu Kyi, UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown cautioned the Burmese government of the potential consequences of rigging elections as "condemning Burma to more years of diplomatic isolation and economic stagnation"

On 21 December 2011, Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra (a known U.S. agent backed and funded by the West) met Suu Kyi in Yangoon. Shinawatra regime have been known to have conducted mass murder and genocide in Thailand but the U.S. have never bat an eyelid on the issue, but rather they have expressed concern o Shinawatra leader Yingluck’s removal from power in 2014.

The link between U.S. National Endowment for Democracy, George Soros’ Open Society and Burma

In the DFID (Department for International Development) policy review of Burma titled ‘Failing the People of Burma’[1] it states:

“The restoration of democracy in Burma is a priority U.S. policy objective in Southeast Asia. To achieve this objective, the United States has consistently supported democracy activists and their efforts both inside and outside Burma…Addressing these needs requires flexibility and creativity. Despite the challenges that have arisen, United States Embassies Rangoon and Bangkok as well as Consulate General Chiang Mai are fully engaged in pro-democracy efforts. The United States also supports organizations, such as the National Endowment for Democracy, the Open Society Institute and Internews, working inside and outside the region on a broad range of democracy promotion activities. U.S.-based broadcasters supply news and information to the Burmese people (i.e. Radio Free Asia), who lack a free press. U.S. programs also fund scholarships for Burmese who represent the future of Burma”

It goes on to specifically state San Suu Kyi as a specific aim for these broadcasting services:
“RFA/VOA In addition to programs supported by Burma earmark funding, the United States also continues to fund multimedia broadcasting services for the Burmese people independent of the influence of the military junta in Rangoon. Both Voice of America (VOA) and Radio Free Asia (RFA) have Burmese services. VOA broadcasts a 30-minute mix of international news and information three times a day. RFA broadcasts news and information about Burma two hours a day. VOA and RFA websites also contain audio and text material in Burmese and English. For example, VOA's October 10, 2003 editorial, "Release Aung San Suu Kyi" is prominently featured in the Burmese section of VOAnews.com. RFA's website makes available audio versions of 16 Aung San Suu Kyi's speeches from May 27 and 29, 2003. U.S. international broadcasting provides crucial information to a population denied the benefits of freedom of information by its government. Broadcasts reach a broad spectrum of society and a broad swathe of the country, influencing Burmese decision-makers and offering support to future democratic leaders. Anecdotal evidence indicates that government officials listen to these broadcasts frequently…The State Department provided $150,000 in FY 2001/02 funds to provide scholarships to young Burmese through Prospect Burma, a partner organization with close ties to Aung San Suu Kyi”



Link between San Suu Kyi and Ashin Wirathu, the lead Buddhist that is ordering the genocide of Muslims in Burma

The “Saffron Revolution” movements in Burma were historically aimed at calling for greater freedom from the oppressive military junta regimes in both Thailand and Burma with San Suu Kyi being the figurehead for the movement. However the most recent rally called for the expulsion of Muslims, often referred to as ‘Kalars’ (Blacks) or ‘Bengali’. The fact they came to the streets to deny thousands of Muslims to be represented as Burmese is quite obvious that the aim of the “Saffron” movements is aimed at harming the Muslims and not for the greater ‘freedom’, which is a flawed ideal in itself.

Ashin Wirathu, also known as the "Buddhist Bin Laden," led Aung San Suu Kyi's "Saffron Revolution" in 2007 and his followers regularly fill the ranks of street mobs organized in support of her political party, the National League for Democracy (NLD). Both Suu Kyi's NLD and her "Saffron" mobs, are fully funded, backed, protected by, and in absolute servile obedience to both US and British special interests.

San Suu Kyi remains silent on her links with the Buddhist extremist Wirathu but their alliance is quite clear. Washington Post[2] reported on the state of Sittwe where the Muslims have been persecuted the most:

“Often these attacks have been spearheaded by the same orange-robed monks who led a series of demonstrations against the junta in 2007, known as the "Saffron Revolution". A warped and violent version of Buddhism has grasped hold of many monasteries in Burma, with hate-speech directed against Muslims across the country, and particularly the Rohingya. Mosques have been attacked, villages set on fire and thousands chased from their homes. Massacres have leapt from village to village in Rakhine State, with machetes the weapon of choice.”

A video that proves that the authorities in Burma are allowing the ethnic cleansing of Muslims is viral, it shows “Burmese police officers stand by as an already bruised and bleeding middle-aged Muslim man is tied by his ankles behind a motorbike by Buddhist youths. There is cheering as the bike roars off down the rock-strewn road, flaying skin from the bouncing body as it goes.” Now almost a quarter of a million Rohingya have been rounded up into concentration camps along Rakhine's low-lying coastline.
Wirathu wears a deep-blue tattoo of a peacock on his inner arm - symbol of Aung San Suu Kyi's National League For Democracy party.

Summary

Events in Burma may not be directly in line with the Greater Middle East Initiative but it is still important in terms of the persecution of Muslims and the shedding of the Ummah’s blood. This written piece aims to provide tangible facts to the situation in Burma and how Western NGO’s that the Muslims consider as ‘support’ are in fact funding the downfall of Islam. National Endowment for Democracy and Open Society are the biggest players in this field and has funded huge pro-democratic developments within the Middle East, such as the April 6th movement and other movements during the Arab spring. These are hard facts and by understanding how Western democracy funding organisations distribute its ‘support’ we can ultimately understand its venom as well as identify those groups, movements and parties that are Western led.

Who is Ashin Wirathu?


"By all appearances, Wirathu seems an unlikely leader of sectarian violence. He speaks in soft, measured tones, clasping his hands thoughtfully. Like all Burmese Buddhist monks, his head is shaved and he is draped in a simple saffron robe. He teaches at a quiet and dimly lit monastery in Mandalay where monks kneel in study or prayer and flowers and images of religious figures decorate the walls. It’s every bit the Western stereotype of Buddhist tranquility." - Washington Post
He is the leader of the attacks upon the Muslims of Burma with his 'Saffron' mobs that regularly take to the streets to persecute the Muslims or organise events that are only aimed to foment violence.
“If we do not protect our own people we will become weak, and we will face more mass killings of this kind when they (the Muslims) grow to outnumber us.” - Wirathu speaking to BBC.
“Muslims are only well behaved when they are weak,” he adds, contemplating another poster. “When they are strong they are like a wolf or a jackal, in large packs they hunt down other animals.”
"Despite the fact that many Rohingya have been in the country for generations, the Burmese government considers them illegal immigrants from Bangladesh — sectarians like Wirathu often refer to them derogatorily as “Bengalis.” The Rohingya have been denied Burmese citizenship since 1982." - Washington Post
The most interesting point to note is that pro-American democracy activist Aung San Suu Kyi has offered only muted criticism of the violence perpetrated by the Saffron mobs
Wirathu, also known as the "Buddhist Bin Laden," led Aung San Suu Kyi's "Saffron Revolution" in 2007 and his followers regularly fill the ranks of street mobs organized in support of her political party, the National League for Democracy (NLD). Both Suu Kyi's NLD and her "Saffron" mobs, are fully funded, backed, protected by, and in absolute servile obedience to both US and British special interests.
A 2006 36-page document out of the "Burma Campaign UK" explicitly details the enormous amount of money and resources both the US government and its corporate-funded foundations have poured into Suu Kyi's image and her "movement."
The most telling information begins on page 14 of 36 of the report's PDF file. Titled, "Failing the People of Burma?" the report enumerates the vast resources the West has invested in building a "pro-democracy" movement, and argues that even more support be given to initiate a "transition" in Myanmar. - LandDestroyer
The report details the specifics of each organisation involved including the NED (National Endowment for Democracy), US State Department-run Radio Free Asia (RFA),Voice of America (VOA), George Soros Foundation 'Open Society' and many more US funded and led organisations.
