Even before the UN summit in NY had drawn to a close they started killing monks. It looks like big trouble is on the horizon. There are rumors that there is dissent within the leading ranks regarding the violent crackdown against the monks, and word on the street says the military junta&#8217;s supreme leader, Senior General Than Shwe&#8217;s family flew to Laos on a chartered flight this afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>On another note, I discovered an absolutely hilarious video of Senators McConnell and Feinstein, showing their bipartisan support of the Burmese struggle for democracy. My favorite part is when McConnell looks deep into the camera and says &#8220;Your struggle is our struggle.&#8221; Really? At what point did you struggle today, Mr. McConnell? Did you catch your thumb in the door of your Mercedes on the way to work? Did you spill your Starbucks coffee in your lap at lunchtime? Or did you shed a little tear of compassion for the poor people of Burma getting mowed down as you lay your head on your downy soft pillow before falling to sleep? <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=d_Dnuws9Sxo&#038;eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fvigilantejournalist%2Ecom%2Fblog%2F\">WATCH<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-flattr-button\"><a class=\"FlattrButton\" style=\"display:none;\" href=\"https:\/\/vigilantejournalist.com\/blog\/archives\/186\" title=\" Video of Japanese Journalist Shows Deliberately Shot\" rev=\"flattr;uid:VigilanteJournalist;language:en_GB;category:text;tags:news about journalism,news around world,war and conflict,blog;button:compact;\">New footage has emerged of Kenji Nagai being what appears to be quite deliberately gunned down by Burmese forces at near point blank range, contradicting the junta&#8217;s official statement that...<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New footage has emerged of Kenji Nagai being what appears to be quite deliberately gunned down by Burmese forces at near point blank range, contradicting the junta&#8217;s official statement that [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[64,21,5],"tags":[191,190,187],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.2 -
