How can it be beautiful

the majority ;
How can it be beautiful with this junta ?
The new light of Myanmar is the junta's mouth piece. No news paper in Burma
is allowed to exist if they do not side with the generals. Information is
not free; it is rudely bias. This alone is human rights violation. As a
matter of fact the New Light of Myanmar editor has to publish what the junta
says. The news paper press is full of military cronies writings articles to
deliberately confuse the people, deceive the people with false hood; things
that are not true and to discredit the opposition and belittle them. The
news paper is design and written to brain wash the simple people who are not
abreast with current happenings. The new light of Myanmar says the
referendum is the decision of the majority. This is bull shit. This is
totally false. It is not the will of the people. The junta blames the NLD
and every one else for its failures and disastrous performance. The
performance of the junta during the recent cyclone is an outstanding
example. The country is not stable; never will be whilst the people are
unhappy and forced and pushed and shoved into doing it their way or else.
The generals talk of democracy with out understanding the true meaning of
the word. The delegates of the national convention were not a true
representative of the people. They were hand picked by the generals who will
say yes to them. The decisions made in the convention were undemocratic. The
delegates were bulldozed into accepting what ever the generals put before
them. Majority of the people did not accept the outcome of the convention
simply because it was unfair. The generals had the obligation to explain to
the people the pros and cons of the convention; they avoided that and
imposed an information black out. The people were not allowed to examine the
outcome of the convention. There was no freedom of speech, press,
association, assembly or information. Government servants, civil servants,
the arm forces and all workers employed by the government, who were not
supposed to be aligned to any party, were actually forced and intimidated
into voting "yes" with promise of serious consequences and punishments, sack
from employment, close down of business, harassments, threat, withdrawal of
ration and entitlements, etc. if they vote NO. The USDA was visiting
ordinary people's houses and forcing them to vote "yes" one day prior to the
voting day. This is not democratic principles the junta has been
proclaiming. Before the referendum the junta promised the people that voting
will be free and fair. The referendum voting was not democratic nor free and
fair by any means. In fact it was grossly illegal the way the referendum was
rigged disgracefully. Votes were stolen by the junta officials posted at the
polling boots. The junta officials would approach simple people who did not
understand and are fearful of these officials with cameras in their hand
ready to black mail them if they voted No. These officials would follow the
voters into the polling boot and force them to vote yes. The people were
betrayed, the generals stole the referendum and with out shame or conscience
proclaimed that they won the referendum by 92.8%. It is abundantly clear why
the generals did not want overseas observers in the country to monitor the
referendum. The referendum is illegal and cannot be accepted by the world
community. And they continue to publish such falsehood in the new light of
Myanmar day after day repeatedly to psychologically deceive the people. All
this is absolutely wrong. The military dictatorship is ignoring calls by the
United Nations Security Council and General Assembly to enter into
tripartite dialogue, and Than Shwe, the dictator of Burma, has repeatedly
snubbed UN envoy Ibrahim Gambari. Instead, the regime is pushing ahead with
elections in 2010 that will enact a constitution which will effectively
legalize dictatorship, and do nothing to change the human rights and
humanitarian situation in the country. The generals do these despicable
deeds to keep them in power because they are afraid of the people and afraid
of reprisals as the blood on their hands is still wet and it is refusing to
dry. One wonders how these generals go to bed each night with such dreadful
conscience.
Burma's referendum was cooked up by hand picked "Yes" men by the military
junta. The constitution was drawn up to keep the military junta in power. On
voting day the junta went to people homes and forced people to vote"yes"
otherwise they will be punished and harrassed. The junta went to government
offices and forced the government employees to vote "yes" in front of them
otherwise they will be sacked. At the polling boot the junta was entering
the polling boot with the voter and forcing them to vote yes. All this was
done against the will of the people under threat and intimidation. The
referendum was an absolute sham. The junta obviously got all the votes. Now
Burma is going for election based on the referendum. Can the election
results be legal ?. What is the best way to persuade the junta to reconsider
openness, transparancy and fairness in such a serious matter for the
country. In June 2009, the 64-year-old Nobel Peace Prize laureate is charged
with violating the terms of her house arrest when an uninvited American man
swam secretly to her lakeside home and stayed for two days without her
invitation. The entire world know that the charges are trumped up, the junta's
trial is totally unjust and the generals have deliberately and unfairly
pursued that line to lock her away and make her irrelevant in the 2010
election which is based on the illegal and sham referendum.
NOW, HOW CAN THE JUNTA'S 2010 ELECTION BE ACCEPTED WHEN IT IS BASED ON AN
ILLEGALLY RIGGED SHAM REFERENDUM.
