Mandalay-PDF & TNLA Struggling To Liberate Mandalay

             (Andrew Nachemsons article from the AL JAZEERA on 23 September 2024.)

TNLA Chief & Mandalay-PDF Commanders.

Myanmar anti-coup forces target Mandalay in struggle to oust military: Trained and guided by ethnic armed groups, Myanmar’s volunteer fighting forces are challenging the generals’ grip. Myanmar’s second-biggest city is beginning to feel like a city under siege. But while armed groups might be at the gates of Mandalay, most residents do not consider them the enemy.

“I’ve lived in Singu since I was born and we’ve never seen anything like this before,” said Tun, a 47-year-old resident of a small town in the Mandalay region, roughly 80km (50 miles) north of the city. He asked to be identified by only part of his name for security reasons. “At first, most residents didn’t flee from the town because we had no experience with war. When the fighting got more intense near the town, we understood we couldn’t stay here.”

While Myanmar’s borderlands, home to many of the country’s ethnic minorities, have been ravaged by conflict for decades, the mostly Bamar areas in the heart of the country had not seen conflict since World War II. That all changed when the military overthrew Aung San Suu Kyi’s democratically elected government in 2021, plunging the country into a political crisis and civil war.

Big Caring Government to The Evil Socialism!

     (Extracts from Milton Friedman’s “TYRANNY OF THE STATUS QUO” in 1981.)

We have documented the drastic increase over the past fifty years in the role of the government, especially the federal government. Special interest or single-issue politics are a frequent explanation for the growth in government.

A government program, particularly at the federal level, almost always confers substantial benefits on a relatively small group while at the same time spreading costs widely (and hence thinly) over the population at large.

As a result, the few have a strong incentive to lobby intensively for the program. The many don’t bother even to inform themselves about it, let alone to devote money and effort to opposing it. A legislator who believes that the program on net harms the public is caught in an impossible position. A vote against such a program generates concentrated opposition from the few who will benefit from it, but at best only weak and diffused support from the many who will pay for it.

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (121-180)

(Whatever happens at all happens as it should; thou wilt find this true, if thou shouldst watch narrowly)

Marcus Aurelius Antoninus (26 April 121 – 17 March 180) known as the "Philosopher King" was Roman emperor from 161 to 180 and a Stoic philosopher. Aurelius reigned from 161 CE to 180 CE.

He was a member of the Nerva–Antonine dynasty, the last of the rulers later known as the Five Good Emperors, who wisely sought out suitable heirs rather than automatically naming their own offspring, and the last emperor of the Pax Romana, an age of relative peace, calm, and stability for the Roman Empire lasting from 27 BC to 180 AD.

He led the Roman people through the utter devastation brought on by the Antonine plague, the Parthian War and ongoing battles with the German tribes. He was well-loved by the people. Aurelius was also known for being a student of stoicism, an ancient Greek and Roman philosophy that encouraged using reason and logic to guide one's perception. Virtue and duty received particular emphasis. Its founder, Zeno of Citium, studied at Plato's Academy.

Stock Markets will Crash if Kamala Harris Wins!

           (Nicholas McEntyre’s article from the NEW YORK POST on 19 September 2024.)

Billionaire expects stock market crash, recession if Kamala Harris wins election: Billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson says he'll pull his money from the market if Kamala Harris wins the US election.

Billionaire hedge fund manager John Paulson has threatened to remove his money from the US markets if Vice President Kamala Harris defeats former President Donald Trump in November’s presidential election. The Paulson & Co. founder — also a Trump megadonor — made the shocking revelation during an appearance on Fox Business on Tuesday.

“It depends on the policy, if Harris is elected I would pull my money from the market,” Paulson said. “I’d go into cash and I’d go into gold because I think the uncertainty regarding the plans they outlined would create a lot of uncertainty in the markets and likely lower markets.”

Burmese Are Chindians: Nehru’s .303s To Xi’s Type-81s

CHINDIAN is the popular term used for mixed-race children of the Indian-Chinese couples in Australia, the rich-nation well acknowledged globally as the most successful multi-cultural and multi-racial society on the planet. In Malaysia and Singapore nowadays the Chindians are so numerous that they are to become an official race group like Chinese and Malays and Indians there as Singapore already has officialised the Eurasians.

In modern Australia the Indian and Chinese migrants are noticeably more numerous than any other migrants from any other nations. That fact is absolutely undeniable as both India and China are the most populous nations on Earth and both countries are so close to Australia. Both have more than 1.4 billion human population each, and given a chance they will mate and cross-breed like rabbits.

And when the immigrants from the Oppressive-Communist-China and the Class-Restricted-Hindu-India landed in easy-going and free-wheeling democratic nation like Australia and are given the chance to mingle freely they tend to cross-breed easily. And the visible result is the new race of Chindians all over the places especially in Sydney and Melbourne.

Indian Visa-Mills in Australia: Fraudulent Colleges

             (Staff article from The ABC NEWS AUS - 7:30 REPORT on 17 Sept 2024.)

Scams shattering Indian students' dreams of studying in Australia: Like millions of people in India, Prinjal dreamt of migrating to Australia in search of a better life. The 19-year-old had made up her mind about it when she was just a girl, taken by the country's freedom, education system and potential to earn money.

So she was thrilled when she received her enrolment certificate for Willows Institute, a private college in Adelaide last December. "Everyone here was expecting me to leave any day. They even bought bags so I could start packing," she told 7.30.

Prinjal hails from Seedpur, a small village in Haryana's northern state. Her family turned to a migration agency, World Visa Advisors, located in Chandigarh, about two hours away. The agency assured them that all necessary paperwork was completed: She had passed her English exam, proven her genuine student status, cleared her medical test, and paid all the required fees into the agency's accounts.

Burmese Hitler: Dragging Down Burma into HELL?

        (Based on Staff artices from The MYANMAR NOW on 18 July 2024)

Myanmar Mad-Little-Dictator General Min Aung Hlaing has appointed himself (illegally of-course) as the President of the Union of Myanmar on July-23. In both Myanmar history and world history MAH is now well known as the most brutal and the dumbest dictator ever.

He is even putting his own respected seniors, the six influential former senior-generals of Myanmar Army, under a very tight House-Arrest in Naypyidaw. The SIX are former Dictator Than Shwe, former Deputy-Dictator Maung Aye, former President Thein Sein, former Vice-Presidnet Tin Aung Myint Oo, former Federal Parliament Speaker Shwe Man, and former Election Commision Chairman Tin Aye.

Their six Naypyidaw-residents widely-known as the Six-Mansions-Row are now collectively behind a 3-meters-high-barbed-wire-fence and also surrounded by an army battalion and no one is allowed in-or-out without MAH’s personal permission. The Mother-fucker has learned a bitter lesson from letting former President Thein Sein go to China and come back with Chinese Ultimatum for him to step down and let Thein Sein form an interim government.

Will Shan-South Be Liberated? China Says Nope!

  (Based on the staff articles from The MYANMAR NOWMEDIA on 30 August 2024.)

Many locals from the Shan-South’s Capital City Taung-gyi have started fleeing the City since the fearsome rumors of approaching ethnic rebel armies started spreading like wild fires after the Shan-North’s Capital Lashio City was liberated by the combined forces of MNDAA and TNLA and Mandalay PDF.

Since the shameful-loss of North-Eastern-Regional-Command (Ya-Ma-Kha) in the Shan-North to combined forces of MNDAA and TNLA in last July, Myanmar Army has been rapidly reinforcing the Eastern-Regional-Command (Ya-Pa-Kha) at Taung-gyi City in the Shan-South, the Middle-Eastern-Regional-Command (Ya-La-Kha) at Kho-Lam City in the Mid-Shan, and the Triangle-Regional-Command at Tachileik City in the Shan-East.

Stupidly-clueless Myanmar Army generals are still dreaming of retaking-back Shan-North from the ethnic rebels for they know very well that the resistance forces will not just be stopping at Shan-North but continue onto capturing the Shan-South which is crucial to further capturing the Shan-East.

China’s Deadly Divide-and-Rule Tactics Breaking Burma!

              (Simon Tisdall’s opinion-piece from The GUARDIAN UK on 25 August 2024.)

Symbol of Chinese Power in Myanmar?

China’s deadly divide-and-rule tactics in Myanmar risk shock waves across region. Far from acting as a broker, Beijing is playing both sides in a state torn by brutality and chaos.

Things fall apart, if you let them – and ethnically, religiously, ideologically fractured Myanmar, formerly Burma, has never been a model of harmonious, integrated nationhood. Yet since the 2021 military coup and ensuing civil war, new and old divisions have grown rapidly. Western and neighbouring states supporting a democratic restoration now face a more fundamental, urgent challenge: how to prevent Myanmar’s anarchic disintegration.

A break-up would send destabilising shock waves coursing across the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh and all of south-east Asia. The humanitarian implications for its 54 million people are dire. A collapse would boost separatist forces and non-state actors elsewhere. And it would severely dent China’s claims to regional leadership. If President Xi Jinping cannot manage Myanmar, what price Beijing’s superpower pretensions?

Reasons to fear a fatal implosion proliferate. About two-thirds of the country, including borders, is now beyond the control of the junta, led by Senior Gen Min Aung Hlaing (The slowly-going-mad Little-Dictator). A sweeping offensive begun last October by northern ethnic armed groups has rocked a desperate, illegitimate regime whose writ is confined increasingly to the capital, Naypyidaw, and urban areas.
