Deadly Army-Paramotors Killing Civilians in Myanmar

             (Based on staff post from various sources in January-February 2025.)      

Paramotors are engine-assisted Para-gliders for thrill-seekers all over the world. But the evil Myanmar Army has reinvented them as efficient killing machines like what HAMAS animals did during the infamous October-7 attack on Israel last year. These machines are now killing hundreds and hundreds of innocent civilians all over Myanmar, the darkest hellhole on earth.

Myanmar Military expands use of deadly paramotors in aerial campaign: In January, the military intensified its aerial campaign against resistance forces and civilians, increasingly deploying paramotors alongside air and drone strikes.

ACLED (The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project) records eight paramotor attacks across Taungtha, Paletwa, and Sagaing townships, resulting in nine reported civilian deaths. Airstrikes also reportedly killed over 150 civilians.

China Warned Airlines Flying Over Tasman Sea

               (Rod McGuirk’s post from the AP NEWS on 21 February 2025.)       

China issued ‘disconcerting’ warning of live-fire exercises to planes flying above, Australia says: Airliners were over the Tasman Sea crossing between Australia and New Zealand when the Chinese navy warned they were flying over a secret live-fire exercise, Australian Defense Minister Richard Marles said on Friday.

Regulator Airservices Australia warned commercial pilots of a potential hazard in airspace between the countries as three Chinese warships conducted live-frie exercises off the Australian east coast. But Marles said Australian authorities only learned about China’s live-firing plans in international waters midway between Australia and New Zealand from the airlines.

“To be clear, we weren’t notified by China,” Marles told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio in Perth. “What China did was put out a notification that it was intending to engage in live firing. By that, I mean a broadcast that was picked up by airlines or literally ... commercial planes that were flying across the Tasman,” Marles said. “This was very disconcerting for the planes that were flying,” he added.

Yangon Blackouts? Blame The Fucking Dictator!

              (Htet Khaing Min’s post from the EURASIA REVIEW on 14 February 2025.)       

Blackout Nation: How Myanmar’s Energy Crisis Is Crippling Lives – Analysis: In Myanmar, darkness no longer just falls after sunset—it has become an everyday reality, an uninvited guest that lingers well beyond nightfall.

Key Takeaways: Severe Power Shortages Cripple Myanmar – Blackouts for up to 20 hours disrupt businesses, healthcare, and daily life, worsening economic hardships. Gas Dependency and Infrastructure Damage – Failing gas plants, stalled solar projects, and grid attacks force reliance on costly alternatives. Urgent Reforms Needed – Expanding renewables, repairing infrastructure, and improving governance are crucial for energy stability.

As the country grapples with one of its most severe power shortages in decades, the lights of progress have flickered and dimmed under the shadow of the military junta’s regime. With rolling blackouts, widespread infrastructure damage, and a fractured power grid, Myanmar’s citizens find themselves in the dark—literally and figuratively.

Yangon is Fucked: Dictator Cuts Off The Electricity

                         (AFP article from the FRANCE-24 on 02February 2025.)       

Seeking light in dark times four years after Myanmar coup: Power outages are common in his township, a result of rolling blackouts scheduled by the junta government as it battles for control of areas seized by rebel groups.

Aung Bo Bo, another Yangon resident, bemoaned the power cut timetable that can see houses plunged into darkness 12 hours a day. He has to wake up at midnight to cook and pump water when the electricity comes on, he told AFP. "We're getting no sleep," he said.

Yin Kay Thwe, an office worker in Yangon, said the situation is especially difficult for families with children. It would be better for power cuts to happen during office hours, she told AFP, not in the evenings until past midnight. "How can we live with that?" she said.
