Myanmar Army Hiding Their Devastating Deaths

            (Translated staff article from THE KHIT THIT MEDIA on 28 December 2023)

Despite the frequent public denials by the Myanmar Army’s spokesfool General Zaw Min Htun (aka) Zaw Mel Lone on the killed-soldiers statistics in Shan-North, one of the leaked secret-telegrams is admitting the devastating deaths of Myanmar soldiers at the battle of Kone-Jyan in late-November and early-December.

According to the leaked telegram sent to the War Office in Naypyidaw from the North-Eastern Regional Command (Ya-ma-kha) at Lashio City, just after the surrender to the MNDAA of the Kone-Jyan based LIB-125 on November-28 all Myanmar Army troops in Kone-Jyan Town in Shan-North’s Kokang region decided to withdraw from Kone-Jyan Town and retreat to Tar-Shwe-Htan Town.

The retreating troops of nearly 500 were from the Miitary Operation Command Division MOC-12 led by the CO Brigadier-General Aung Zaw Lin and the 16^th Brigade led by the CO Brigadier-General Thaw Zin Oo.

MOC-12 columns had the Divisional HQ, the Third Tactical Command, and five light infantry battalions while the 16^th Brigade columns had the Brigade HQ and one infantry battalion. And they left Kone-Jyan on December-2 and expected at Tar-shwe-htan in just a few days.

Is China Behind Ethnic Rebels’ Operation 1027?

              (Nian Peng’s guest article from THE DIPLOMAT on 05 December 2023)

Pro-China Kokang leader General Peng Daxum

No, China Is Not Intervening in Myanmar’s Civil War: Contrary to some speculation, Beijing is not supporting the ongoing rebel offensive in Shan State.

In late October, three ethnic rebel groups in Myanmar known as the Three Brotherhood Alliance – Kokang’s Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), the Ta’ang National Liberation Army, and the Arakan Army, initiated Operation 1027 against the junta.

In the weeks since, they have successfully seized control of hundreds of security outposts and three government-controlled areas in northern Myanmar. The MNDAA, in particular, has advanced and encircled the junta-aligned town of Laukkai, situated merely five kilometers from the border with China.

This conflict reflects a perpetuation of the ethnic tensions in northern Myanmar over recent decades, specifically concerning the control of Kokang territory – a strategically significant area in the northern part of Shan State with a Mandarin-speaking population.

Fall of Nam-San: LID-101’s Total Wipeout

             (Based on Ye Lin Thu’s posts from the FACEBOOK on 18 December 2023)

Corpses of LID-101 HQ Staff.

One of the biggest outposts of Myanmar Army in the Shan-north town of Nam-San has fallen into the hands of Chinese-backed Northern Alliance rebels on December-15 after weeks-long fighting.

The rebels has basically wiped out LID-101 after killing the divisional CO and HQ staff officers by a concentrated drone attack. LID-101 based at the middle-Burma city of Pa-khoke-ku was airlifted into Nam-San just recently as the urgent reinforcement to stop the relentless tides of Northen Alliance armies.

Equipped with four 105-mm howitzers and multiple tanks LID-101 had two light infantry battalions LIB-254 and LIB-258 defending the strategic town. But the concentrated drone bombardments and heavy weapon assaults overwhelmed the defenders and rebels’ human wave attacks finally sealed the horrid fate of town defenders in the late afternoon of December-15.

Rebel Fire and China’s Ire in Myanmar

                         (The staff article from the REUTERS on 16 December 2023)

This popular film forced China to act.

Dec 15 (Reuters) - Generals from Myanmar's junta held peace talks in June near the border with China with representatives of three powerful ethnic armies. They sat across a wide table covered with blue cloth and decorated with elaborate bouquets.

But the rebels were playing a double-game. Secretly, the ethnic armies - collectively called the Three Brotherhood Alliance - had already laid the groundwork for Operation 1027, a major offensive launched in October that has become the most significant threat to the regime since it seized power in a 2021 coup.

"We were already preparing for the operation when we met them," said Kyaw Naing, a spokesman for the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA), a largely ethnic-Chinese group that is part of the rebel coalition.

Reuters interviewed a dozen resistance officials with knowledge of the operation, as well as analysts and other people familiar with the matter. Some spoke on condition of anonymity because the offensive is ongoing.

Planning Postwar Future of Burma’s Military

              (Zachary Abuza’s article from the NIKKEI ASIA on 29 November 2023)

Time to Demolish the Myanmar Military.

Time to start planning postwar future of Myanmar's military: Rebuilding will not be possible without thorough reform of the security sector. The Burman-dominated army should be disbanded and rebuilt around regiments formed along ethno-linguistic lines.

For the first time since Myanmar's military seized power on Feb. 1, 2021, there are signs that the leadership is seriously rattled. The launch of an unprecedented coordinated offensive last month by three key ethnic armies has had a contagion effect, leading to a wave of concurrent attacks around the country by allied and affiliated ethnic resistance organizations and militias, known as people's defense forces.

Alongside the capture of more than 150 military posts, including those at two key trade hubs along the Chinese border, there are reports of growing desertions and the surrender of at least two battalions. While the regime's defeat is not a given, it is now possible to start to imagine a return to true civilian rule.

Myanmar’s Army Losing Ground Badly

       (David Rising’s AP article from the PBS NEWS HOUR on 01 December 2023)

One mass grave of Myanmar soldiers.

BANGKOK (AP) — About two weeks into a major offensive against Myanmar’s military-run government by an alliance of three well-armed militias of ethnic minorities, an army captain, fighting in a jungle area near the northeastern border with China, lamented that he’d never seen such intense action.

His commander in Myanmar’s 99th Light Infantry Division had been killed in fighting in Shan state the week before and the 35-year-old career soldier said army outposts were in disarray and being hit from all sides.

“I have never faced these kinds of battles before,” the combat veteran told The Associated Press by phone. “This fighting in Shan is unprecedented.” Eight days later the captain was dead himself, killed defending an outpost and hastily buried near where he fell, according to his family.

The coordinated offensive in the northeast has inspired resistance forces around the country to attack, and Myanmar’s military is falling back on almost every front. The army says it’s regrouping and will regain the initiative, but hope is rising among opponents that this could be a turning point in the struggle to oust the army leaders who toppled democratically elected Aung San Suu Kyi almost three years ago.

Burma After Myanmar Army is Destroyed?

 (Billy Ford’s article from the United States Institute of Peace on November-16, 2023)

We Shouldn’t Fear a Resistance Victory in Myanmar: Research shows the fight against the junta is seeding fertile ground for a more inclusive, equitable and stable state.

As the national uprising against Myanmar’s coup regime has gained strength, a singular question has hovered over the widening campaign: If this patchwork of ethnic armed groups, deposed elected leaders, activists and armed defense forces manages to topple the junta, would they be able to govern, or would the country descend into greater chaos?

That question has gained urgency as recent developments put the military’s staying power in growing doubt. Since October 27, armed resistance groups have seized numerous strategic border crossings along Myanmar’s frontier with China, India and Thailand and routed the army from more than 150 bases or posts.

Lashio City Beseiged by the Ethnic Armies

   (Based on the staff article from the MYANMAR NOW on 15 November 2023)

Lashio City, the capital of Shan-North, has been cut off from the Proper Burma and overwhemingly surrounded by the armies of Northern Alliance. The North Eastern Divisional Command (Ya-Ma-Kha) of Myanmar Army will be the first divisional command seriously threatened by the ethnic rebels in the Modern history of Burma.

The UNION HIGHWAY is now totally blocked at the south of Lashio since Northern Alliance’s TNLA has occupied the major towns of Naung-Cho, Kyauk-Mel, and Thibaw. And the Northen Alliance’s MNDAA has taken over the towns of Tar-Moe-Nye, Kun-Lone, and Chin-Shwe-Haw thus blocking the northern access to Lashio.

The only way in and out of Lashio is the Taunggyi-Lashio Highway as the Lashio Airport is now restricted for Miitary Airplanes only. The trains have been stopped since the Operation 1027 started in October-27.

The Battle for Lashio City: Drones and Artillery

Both China-made suicide drones and spy drones are now flying all over Lashio and looking for targets and collecting intelligence. The troops defending Ya-Ma-Kha is also responding to the drone threats by aimlessly shooting their big guns all over the surrounding ares of Lashio and killing many civilians.

Loikaw Has Fallen: Myanmar Army Rapidly Collapsing!

              (Based on the staff articles from the KHIT THIT MEDIA in November 2023)

Capital city of Kayah (Kayinni) State Loikaw has fallen into the hands of KNDF (Krenni Nationl Defence Force) on November-13 fater a hevy fighting between KNDF forces and LID-66 (Light Infantry Division-66) of now-demoralized Myanmar Army.

Two battalions of LID-66, namely LIB-6 and LIB-425 were annihilated by the rebels after four days of intense fightings. All of LIB-425 was killed but half of LIB-6 laid down their weapons and surrendered to the rebels after their CO and senior officers and many soldiers were killed.

After the rapid success of Northen Allinace’s Operation 1027 KNDF initiated their operation 1111 on November-11 the Remembrance Day and within four days Loikaw was surrounded and the Myanmar Army troops defending the city has quickly surrendered.

Demoralised Myanmar Army troops are deserting and sometimes surrendering their posts without a serious fight. Most Myanmar commanders of battalions, tactical commands (Byu-hars), and division are now strongly believing that the war is lost as they have lost their confidence in their Commander-in-Chief that Power-Mad Dictator Min Aung Hlaing who did not even dare to come out of his fortified-bunker in Nay Pyi Daw. 

Kun-Lone The Fortress Has Fallen!

      (Based on the staff articles from the aKHIT THIT MEDIA in November 2023)

Finally, the Fortress Kun-lone, defended by a 2000-strong Tactical Command (Byu-har) of Myanmar Army for many decades  since the 1970s has fallen into the hands of MNDAA (Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army), one of the Northern Alliance group of ethnic insurgent armies.

Kun-Lone is the most strategic town on the west bank of Salween River. The town is the crucial gateway to Northen Shan State’s capital Lashio the heavily-fortified base of Myanmar Army’s Northeastern Divisional Command (Ya-Ma-Kha).

Now the Fortress Kun-lone has fallen and the rebel ethnic armies can march straight into the population centres of Shan State and then to the Mandalay City which is just a stone throw away from the Nay-pyi-daw the lair of mad dictator Min Aung Hlaing. His evil days are now rapidly numbered.

Kokang Has Fallen: Operation 1027 Took Shan-North

      (Based on the staff articles from the KHIT THIT MEDIA & AFP in November 2023)

Burma (Myanmar) is a union consisting of seven states, seven divisions, one union territory, five self-administered regions, and one self-administered division. Kokang Region is one of five self-administered regions and now it has fallen into the hands of so-called Northern Alliance.

The Northern Alliance is the military coalition of four Ethnic Insurgent Armies namely KIA – Kachin Independence Army, MNDAA - Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army, TNLA - Talang National Liberation Army, and AA - Arakan Army.

On October-27 more than ten thousands fighters of Northern Alliance started the massive operation called Operation-1027 and since then the Alliance has defeated three Myanmar Army divisions based in Northern Shan State and taken over the whole Shan-North region within nine days.

Blood Railway: Crucial Mandalay-Myitkyinar Train

              (Based on the staff article from the KACHIN-NEWS-GROUP in October 2023.)

Bodies of Burmese burnt to crisp.

The most crucial train line in Burma, from the ancient capital city of Mandalay to Myitkyinar the Kachin State’s Capital, has been lying dead silently for more than two years since the people rebellion in Sagaing Division erupted after the hated Myanmar Army’s violent coup in 2021.

The nearly 600-mile long train line runs through most of the Sagaing Division, West of River Irrawaddy, to get to the Kachin State at the northern end of Burma now known as Myanmar.

For more than 100 years the train had been running daily between Mandalay and Myitkyinar like a clock-work till 2021. The train was the only reliable connection between Myitkyina and the rest of Burma. Plane trips were too expensive and the Irrawaddy there was too shallow to navigate and there were no roads back then.

Corruption Galore of MAH (Motherfucker) & His Generals

            (From various staff articles from the MYANMAR NOW in September 2023.)

Criminal generals of Evil Myanmar Army.

While the desparate people all over Myanmar have been lining up for hours everyday to buy state-rationed cooking oil, the power-mad dictator Min Aung Hlaing (well-known affectionately as the Mother-Fucker or Ma-aye-loe in Burmese) has been sending some of his top generals and their families to jails on serious corruption charges.

Rumours are that over 100 rich business cronies and at least 5 senior generals have been detained for more then a few weeks since the sudden collapse of Myanmar economy sending the general prices sky high to heaven and Myanmar Kyats dropping down to hell.

Deputy-General Moe Myint Htun, Brigadier-General Yan Naung Soe, and Home Affairs Minister General Soe Htut and their families are now in the Nay-pyi-daw Military Prison since early September. At least 100 business chronies are in either home arrest or in jails.

Israel Arming Horribly-murderous Myanmar Army

                    (Staff article from the FRONTIER MYANMAR on 05 September 2023.)

Israel is arming Killer Myanmar Army.

Sources reveal Israeli shipments to Myanmar military after coup: An Israeli state-owned company has sent four shipments of aircraft parts to Myanmar since the military seized power in 2021, as the air force ramps up attacks on resistance groups and civilians.

Israel has supplied the Myanmar military since the 2021 military coup, according to a major general in the Myanmar air force, who spoke with Frontier on the condition of anonymity, and new trade data shared by activist group Justice for Myanmar.

Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd, a state-owned company that designs and produces both civil and military aviation equipment, has sent at least four shipments of “aircraft parts” since February 2021, the trade data shows. These follow four earlier consignments starting in 2019, despite existing arms embargoes from the United States and European Union.

The Battle for Chinland in Myanmar (Burma)

      (Matt Davis’s article from the ABC NEWS AUSTRALIA on 18 August 2022.)

THE BATTLE FOR CHINLAND: Two weeks inside a resistance army’s mountain stronghold as it wages war on Myanmar’s military dictatorship.

Bullets whizzed overhead as Dr Amos Dawt Za Hmung stepped out of his clandestine health clinic in Thantlang — a town in the hills of north-western Myanmar — into a street gripped by chaos. Moments earlier, he had finished performing surgery alongside his wife, Rebecca, a nurse, when the sound of powerful weapons struck him numb with terror.

The Myanmar military, known as the Tatmadaw, had burst forth from their hilltop barracks overlooking the town and was now shooting, looting and setting buildings ablaze. Now Dr Amos was standing in the streets, weighing up an impossible choice.

Boris Johnson: Putin Is a Murderous Thug

                 (Hauser & Chen’s article from the CNN on 27 August 2023.)

Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has alleged that Russian President Vladimir Putin “must have killed” Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin and said there can be no peace negotiation with Putin on Ukraine.

Writing in a Daily Mail op-ed on Saturday, Johnson speculated about Prigozhin’s last moments, just days after a plane believed to be carrying the Wagner boss crashed in a field northwest of Moscow while en route to St. Petersburg. It is not clear yet what caused the plane crash, but US and Western intelligence officials that CNN has spoken to believe it was deliberate.

“It can’t have been more than a few seconds between the explosion aboard the otherwise reliable Embraer Legacy 600 executive jet, and the moment the Russian thug blacked out in his vertiginous acceleration to earth; and yet in that instant I am certain that he knew with perfect clarity what had happened,” Johnson wrote.

HIMARS Missile System Test-firing In Australia’s NT

    (Major Dan Mazurek’s post from the AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE on 03 August 2023.)

Army missile system on target in first firing: The Army tactical missile system (ATACMS) has been fired in Australia for the first time, demonstrating the type of capability Australia will need to defend its northern borders.

The ATACMS, fired as part of Exercise Talisman Sabre, is a US-made long-range tactical precision surface-to-surface missile, combining advanced technology and intelligence-driven targeting.

1st Brigade Commander Nick Foxall said capabilities such as this would have a big impact on the ability to deny access to enemies as the Army's focus in the north shifts to littoral operations. “Army is entering a new period, and exercises like Talisman Sabre, where we work with our partners and new capabilities, only enhance the defence of Australia,” Commander Foxall said.

Singapore Suspended Corrupt Transport Minister?

                                (Staff article from THE HINDU on 02 August 2023.)

Singapore PM Lee bars Indian-origin Minister from duty, slashes his pay amid corruption probe: Indian-origin Transport Minister S. Iswaran was arrested by the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) on July 11.

CPIB’s probe into Transport Minister S. Iswaran involves billionaire Ong Beng Seng, the man widely credited with bringing Formula-1 racing to Singapore. Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on August 2 barred Indian-origin Transport Minister S. Iswaran from duty and slashed his salary after he was arrested last month in relation to a corruption probe.

Mr. Lee was speaking in Parliament on a recent spate of scandals that has rocked Singapore, a country otherwise known for its corruption-free and stable politics. He spoke on the ongoing corruption probe involving 61-year-old Mr. Iswaran and the resignations of two Members of Parliament (MPs), former Speaker Tan Chuan-Jin and Cheng Li Hui, over their extramarital affair.

WAGNER: Putin’s Mercenaries from HELL

               (Joshua Yaffa’s article from THE NEW YORKER on 31 July 2023.)

On May 20th, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner Group, stood in the center of Bakhmut, in eastern Ukraine, and recorded a video. The city once housed seventy thousand people but was now, after months of relentless shelling, nearly abandoned. Whole blocks were in ruins, charred skeletons of concrete and steel. Smoke hung over the smoldering remains like an early-morning fog. Prigozhin wore combat fatigues and waved a Russian flag. “Today, at twelve noon, Bakhmut was completely taken,” he declared. Armed fighters stood behind him, holding banners with the Wagner motto: “Blood, honor, homeland, courage.”

More than anyone else in Russia, Prigozhin had used the war in Ukraine to raise his own profile. In the wake of the invasion, he transformed Wagner from a niche mercenary outfit of former professional soldiers to the country’s most prominent fighting force, a private army manned by tens of thousands of storm troopers, most of them recruited from Russian prisons. Prigozhin projected an image of himself as ruthless, efficient, practical, and uncompromising. He spoke in rough, often obscene language, and came to embody the so-called “party of war,” those inside Russia who thought that their country had been too measured in what was officially called the “special military operation.” “Stop pulling punches, bring back all our kids from abroad, and work our asses off,” Prigozhin said, the month that Bakhmut fell. “Then we’ll see some results.”

The aura of victory in Bakhmut enhanced Prigozhin’s popularity. He had an almost sixty-per-cent approval rating in a June poll conducted by the Levada Center, Russia’s only independent polling agency; nineteen per cent of those surveyed said they were ready to vote for him for President. His new status seemed to come with a special license to criticize top officials in Moscow. Prigozhin had accused his rivals in the Russian military, Sergei Shoigu, the defense minister, and Valery Gerasimov, the chief of general staff, of withholding artillery ammunition from Wagner. “That’s direct obstruction, plain and simple,” Prigozhin said. “It can be equated with high treason.” In the battle for Bakhmut, he said, “five times more guys died than should have” because of the officials’ indecisive leadership.

WTF is Going on in Thailand: Pita Vs Thai Army?

                  (Adam Simpson’s article from THE CONVERSATION on 20 July 2023.)

Why was the winner of Thailand’s elections blocked from becoming prime minister? The Thai parliamentary election was held over two months ago and yet, the country still has no prime minister or government. While much remains in flux, one thing appears certain – the popular reformist leader of the party that received the most votes in the election, Pita Limjaroenrat, will not be the country’s next prime minister.

In demoralising, though familiar, scenes this week, the Constitutional Court announced Pita would be suspended as an MP until a ruling is made on allegations he knowingly held shares in a media company when he contested the May election.

The parliament then voted to void his prime ministerial nomination, preventing him from contesting a second vote in the legislature for the premiership. (He had already failed in one vote last week.) Pita is clearly the people’s choice for prime minister. And under a more democratic system, he would already be sitting in the PM office.

Geopolitics: Communist China in Myanmar (Burma)

                    (Based on staff articles from the MYANMAR NOW in July 2023.)

Recent surprise offensives by the Myanmar Army targeting Laiza the KIA capital on Chinese border in Kachin State might be signaling the reversal of Communist China’s long-running neutral stance in Burmese Civil War.

Despite nearly 20,000-strong KIA Kachin troops, together with KIA-trained Burmese PDF forces over 15,000-strong, blocking Mynamar Army’s advances along the roads leading to the Laiza the whole division 5,000-strong of Myanmar Army’s Myitkyinar-based Northern Command has suddenly appeared in the mountainous jungles arround the Laiza last month.

What surprised KIA was that the attacking troops have brought along with them the heavy weaponery such as 155mm howitzers and so many 75mm recoiless guns to smash heavily-fortified KIA bunkers. The rumours were that Chaina has secretly given Myanmar Army troops permission to march through China or even air-lifted their heavy weapons right back into KIA-controlled jungles.

Myanmar is Fucked: Even Yangon Airport is Dark

           (Based on staff articles from the KHIT THIT MEDIA’s Facebook in July 2023.)

Military-controlled Myanmar is back in the stone-age. Even the Yangon International Airport has no electricity and thus everyone arriving and departing have to struggle filling in the immigration forms and navigating the narrow and dark corriders without bumping into heavily-armed soldiers.

Sanctions and general economic fuck-ups caused by the Min Aung Hlaing-led military coup are rapidly shutting down Myanmar’s already-struggling economy. No power, no water, no food, and no fucking-everything is sending the people of Burma into abject poverty except the ruling generals and a handful of their super-rich chronies.

Nearly everything has stopped working in Myanmar but the twin pipelines sending Arab crude oil and Myanmar natural gas to China across the whole length of Burma. The cross-Myanmar pipeline is stil working smoothly because of Chinese troops camouflagued as Myanmar security police battalions tighly guarding it.

Is China Arming Burmese Rebellion in Myanmar?

               (Based on staff articles from the KHIT THIT MEDIA’s Facebook in June 2023.)

Brand new KAs for PDFs.

On June-24 this year the Khit-Thit-Media reported a recent release of information bulletin from the NUG (National Unity Government of Burma) describing the latest arming of five newly-formed infantry battalions from their PDF (People Defence Forces) in the Magwe Division the epicenter of Burmese rebellion against the Myanmar Army.

The five newly-formed PDF battalions were armed with nearly 500 Kachin-assembled KA-09 automatic rifles which basically are the near-exact copies of Chinese Type-81 assualt rifles, itself a modified variant of that ubiquitous AK-47 assault rifles.

On an interview with Myanmar-Now Media in last January Yi Mon the NUG Defense Minister declared they were needing 300 million US$ in next four months to purchase 20,000 assault rifles to arm their PDF units in Burma. So many young Burmese men were joining the PDF and they needed guns, good guns right now, he said.

Then on a recent interview Minister Yi Mon proudly declared that 75% of that funding target was achieved last six month partly from public donations and mostly from the collection of taxes from newly-liberated territories inside Burma the NUG administration now fully controlls and administers.

MAD Min Aung Hlaing’s Days Are Numbered!

            (Based on staff articles from the KHIT THIT MEDIA’s Facebook in June 2023.)

Myanmar mad dictator Min Aung Hlaing’s end is rapidly approaching as his Myanmar Army quickly dwindled into Just over 100,000 from the mighty half-a-million just a few years ago.

Normally 800 to 1000 strong army infantry battalions are now reduced to average 200 to 300 while some frontline battalions are as weak as just over 100 troops. Myanmar Army’s attrition rate is so high as the individual desertions and wholesale surrenders have rapidly accelerated.

Most of the northern areas (except their respective capital cities) such as Kachin State, Chin State, Magwe Division, and Sagaing Division are basically controlled by respective ethnic armies and NLD’s PDFs. Kayah State capital Loikaw is being evacuated as the   the rebel forces surround the city.

Myanmar Army is also basically running out of cash as the brutal US sanctions of Myanmar Foreign Trade Bank MFTB started biting deep into their US$ income and reserves. Exchange rate jumps from 2200 Kyats/US$ to over 3,500 as the exports and imports are suddenly stopped.

COVID Patient Zero is Wuhan Lab's Researcher "Ben Hu"

                          (Imogen Braddick’s article from the SUN UK on 14 June 2023.)

COVID BOMBSHELL Covid ‘patient zero’ NAMED as Wuhan scientist who conducted deadly tests on souped-up virus, bombshell report claims.

COVID "patient zero" was a Wuhan scientist carrying out experiments on souped-up coronaviruses, a report has claimed. Ben Hu was allegedly conducting risky tests at the Wuhan Institute of Virology - along with two other colleagues Ping Yu and Yan Zhu.

Ben Yu has been named as one of three Wuhan scientists first infected with Covid. The Wuhan Institute of Virology has been at the centre of the storm over the origins of Covid. It's understood all three fell ill with Covid-like symptoms and needed hospital care weeks before China disclosed the virus outbreak to the world.

Assassinations, Retaliations: Burmese Buddhist Style

      (Based on the Facebook posts from the KHIT THIT MEDIA in May-June 2023.)

Brutal assassinations of Myanmar Army’s well-known supporters by the NLD’s PDFs and the equally ruthless retaliations by the Myanmar Armys’ Buddhist-extremist thugs known as Ma-Ba-Tha are violently tearing apart the fabrics of supposedly gentle Buddhist society in Myanmar formerly known as Burma.

Just on May-30 two PDF assasins murdered a famous female singer and well-known Myanmar Army supporter Li Li Naing Kyaw. The Burmese singer was shot dead in her car as she arrived back at her house in Rangoon’s Yankin Township.

On June-4 Myanmar Army thugs captured two Burmese men Kaung Zarni Hein and Kyaw Thura in Rangoon and publicly accused them as the killers of Li Li Naing Kyaw. And they also gave the address of Kaung Zarni Hein to their Buddhist extremists. The address was No-80 Aye-myittar Street of Yoe Gyi Village in Htan-da-bin Township right next to Rangoon City.

Ban Ki-Moon in Burma: End of Min Aung Haing?

                 (Translated Facebook post from the KHIT THIT MEDIA on 25 April 2023.)

The political process to remove that motherfucking mad dictator Min Aung Hlaing has just begun in earnest as the death toll of Burmese civil war hits hundreds of thousands.

On April-23 Ban Ki-Moon and his five-member entourage flew into Nya-pyi-daw for a meeting with Myanmar Dictator. And the former UNSG reportedly asked the dictator to stop waging war against his own people.

Ban Ki-Moon is former Secretary-General of the United Nations and the Deputy Chair of The Elders. The Elders is an international non-governmental organisation of public figures noted as senior statesmen, peace activists and human rights advocates, who were brought together by Nelson Mandela in 2007. They describe themselves as "independent global leaders working together for peace, justice, human rights and a sustainable planet".

Ban Ki-Moon was basically following the foot steps of Director-General Peng Xiubin of the International Liaison Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC), who met former military dictator Senior General Than Shwe and former president Thein Sein during his four-day visit to Myanmar from April 16-19.

Myanmar Fighter Jets Bombed A Kantblu Village

            (Based on translated articles from the KHIT THIT NEWS in April 2023.)

Myanmar Army has been going extremely brutal recently in Sagaing Division, the strongest Burmese resistance against illegal military coup, killing and raping and mutilating the local populace.

Topping all the atrocities committed by the demonic foot soldiers of Myanmar Army, Myanmar Airforce also is staging a ruthless bombing campaign against innocent Burmese civilians in Sagaing Division.

Just on April 11 at about 8 in the morning Russian-made two YAK-130 jet fighters dropped two 500-lb bombs right onto the opening ceremony of the new school in the Ba-zyi-gyi village from the Sagaing Division’s Kantblu Township.

The massive bombs basically demolished the village hall and instantly vaporized all 50-odd village elders gathering inside for the ceremony. Immediately after the fighter jets two Russian-made Mi-35 helicopter gunships arrived and machinegunned and rocketed the village and killed nearly one hundred villagers including the school children who were having their free lunch happily in the temporary ceremony hall erected nearby.

Tar Tine Village Massacre in Sagaing Township

Myanmar Army soldiers are going extremely brutal in Sagaing Division, the area of the strongest Burmese resistance against illegal military coup, killing and raping and mutilating the local populace.

One of the worst incidents recently was in the village of Tar Tine on March 1. Nearly 70-strong Myanmar Army mobile column from the notorious 99^th Division coming along the River Irrawaddy landed at the Tar Tine Village by the confluence of Mu and Irrawaddy rivers in the early morning of March 1 and immediately raided the sleeping Burmese village.

The soldiers captured 15 villagers including the village PDF leader Kyaw Zaw and three young women. They then tortured and chopped Kyaw Zaw into multiple pieces right there in the village. They then took the rest 14 along with them and later raped and killed and mutilated all the hostages.

After gang-raping and killing the young women the soldiers even left their exposed vaginas stuffed with onions and other foreign stuff. The soldiers also chopped the heads of young men and hanged them from the road-side trees.

Shanni-Kachin War in Myanmar (Burma)

                    (Staff article from the FRONTIER MYANMAR on 20 February 2023.)

Shanni and Kachin armed groups at loggerheads: The Shanni Nationalities Army has been accused of aiding the Myanmar military since the coup, while its supporters say the group is defending against persecution by the Kachin Independence Army.

23-year-old Kyaw Zin Win lay on his back, hands tied and eyes blindfolded, as slick warm blood spread from a slash in his throat.  “Hey! Make sure you finish it. Are they all dead?” shouted a man from high above, where Kyaw Zin Win had been struck in the head and thrown from a ledge before having his throat slashed.

Still shocked to find himself alive, it was only after the soldiers left that Zaw Naing discovered he wasn’t the only survivor. “The first five people were killed, but the remaining three of us escaped with our throats cut,” he told Frontier. He alleged that the attackers were members of the Shanni Nationalities Army, an ethnic armed group that has been accused of collaborating with the Myanmar military since the 2021 coup.

Landmine Casualties Soar in Myanmar (Burma)

                   (AP article from the WASHINGTON POST on 19 February 2023.)

BANGKOK — The 3-year-old boy had taken only two steps from his mother’s lap when a deafening explosion rang out. The blast caught the woman in the face, blurring her vision. She forced her eyes open and searched for her son around the jetty where they’d been waiting for a ferry, near their small village in south-central Myanmar.

Through the smoke, she spotted him. His body lay on the ground, his feet and legs mangled with flesh peeled away, shattered bones exposed. “He was crying and telling me that it hurt so much,” she said. “He didn’t know what just happened.”

But she did. The boy had detonated a landmine, an explosive device designed to mutilate or destroy whatever comes into its path. Landmines have been banned for decades by most countries, since the U.N. Mine Ban Treaty was adopted in 1997. But in Myanmar, which isn’t party to the treaty, the use of mines has soared since the military seized power from the democratically elected government in February 2021 and armed resistance has skyrocketed.

Carnage At Hlaing Tharyar Hospital By Dr. Soe Min

           (Translated post from Dr. Soe Min’s FACEBOOK on 15 March 2021)

Yesterday, 14 March 2021, despite all the road blocks all over the city, I managed to reach the burning city Hlaing Tharyar.

I tried to call, failed miserably of course, the phone-numbers of medical facilities in the area. So I went direct to the Hlaing Tharyar Hospital and asked if I could help, of course after introducing myself as a surgeon, and they sent me direct to the emergency surgery.  

There was one wounded patient inside and another one waiting just outside the surgery to enter, and I didn’t even know how many wounded were waiting downstairs.  Right away I started operating on the one already inside. Then another one. One after another.

At just after 7 pm I finished fixing a wounded patient with large open wound on belly and mutilated insides. I could still hear the gunshots from right outside the hospital. 

Famed HIMARS Rocket-Artillery For Australia!

     (Staff article from the AUSTRALIAN DEFENCE MAGAZINE on 04 October 2022.)

The US High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) has proved one of the standout weapons of the Ukraine conflict, delivering devastating precision fires on Russian positions, including munitions depots and command posts.

Australia is set to acquire HIMARS, maybe 20 launchers, though the government has yet to give the official go-ahead. With the growing desire for greater self-sufficiency, Australia may also seek to manufacture HIMARS missiles.

James Heading, Lockheed Martin Australia director of programs, strategic capabilities office for missiles and fire control, said  there was active consideration around production of the missiles themselves, though not the launch vehicle.
