For Myanmar journalists, they are tortured, beaten up, starved or killed in captive in Insein Prison. He's lucky to be a foreigner

I was jailed in Myanmar as well, in Mon State, for being "a foreigner outside the city limits". Two weeks before the coup, I was arrested by immigration officials who, for two years previous to January 14, 2021, had allowed and encouraged me to live and work at the hotel that my wife (a Myanmar citizen) and I operated. Without warning, I was arrested and detained in a small cell with as many as 72 other men, all in the same room, with one shared toilet. This was during Covid AND the coup, which added extra drama. Thanks to my many local friends, assistance from the US Embassy, and my personal style of being an annoyance to the jailhouse guards, the local judge released me on condition of deportation from Myanmar. After 103 days in that ancient, filthy jail cell, I was released, and my life has changed radically, in ways that were not planned. I look forward to a reunion with my wife and stepdaughter but, because of situations both in Myanmar and the USA, re-uniting with my family won't happen anytime soon.

It seems the West, Western media and their affiliates are having a daily dose of diarrhea regarding Myanmar coup these days, that Western sponsored 'Color Revolution' in Myanmar is now creating humanitarian crises all over the nation, as peaceful protests are turning into violent riots. It seems all the Western inciters from places like Hong Kong in the past are in Myanmar. Remember, about four decades earlier, populous Bangladesh with a mega population of 180 million, that had been sending millions of their unwanted Bengali illegal immigrants into Myanmar, (as well as North-East India & Nepal) for ages when Myanmar has declared national emergency in Rakhine State, (which is immediately next to Bangladesh) ever since late 1970s; but the West and their Western news medias ignored it all, ever since Burma had been boycotted by Capitalist West, when impoverished nation turned to Socialism after long painful Colonial era; and as a result, hardly any one out of Myanmar knew truths about what's going on. True, the West and Western media had been keeping mum for decades while Bangladeshis were pouring into neighboring Rakhine State in the 70's and 80's.

If you must know, former Colonial Anglo West has been consistently trying to divide Burma/Myanmar into pieces for ages. They have been watching and waiting for this opportunity at every corner and every turn in Myanmar's history since it gained Independence from Britain some seventy years ago. I may be wrong, but my gut feeling has been telling me this for a long time. Remember, Yugoslavia, the world leader of the Non-Aligned Movement during the Cold War, and what happened to that nation? Today, former Yugoslavia was divided and became six smaller nations, much thanks to the West. Slavery, Colonialism and Colonization, etc are evil things done and benefited by evildoers. Like you said, in centuries-long old Colonial era, when the world was under Colonial Anglo Western control & influence; nations/ethnic groups in Asia, Africa, North & South America, were committing atrocities against one another (brother against brother, etc), all because Colonial West pit one group against another, which is the the ploy (such as, 'divide & conquer, divide & rule, divide & loot'), that were regularly used for their own Western advantages; what they call it, 'Anglo Western Interests'. True, it's all about 'Anglo Western Hegemony' by all means and at all cost to this day. By the way, do you know the fact that there are only two nations in the world that have been continuously engaged in fighting since WWII. They are USA and Myanmar. While wealthy USA, as a gang leader of Capitalist Imperialist Anglo West, would go all over the whole wide world to engage in wars, to loot bounties, and thus became evermore prosperous; impoverished Myanmar, on the other hand, is engaged in internal civil war, brother against brother, which causes everyone involved getting even more impoverished and destitute. So and so, this cycle of 'infighting and poverty' continues back and forth to this day. A sad truth indeed. Moreover, the Capitalist Imperialist West would go into the region/nation for their own interest, and then divide and conquer, divide and rule, divide and loot, pit one 'local group' against another. These 'local populace' that are used by the West or sided with the West, in the conflict/crisis/war, and when they are needed to be evacuated for one reason or the other, then the West will raise the issue about 'refugees'. This has been the case throughout history wherever the conflict the West is involved in. In fact, there were tens of millions of refugees here in the USA & other Western nations that the West brings in throughout history, past and present. Besides, Myanmar has had no politics for over two generations; so it's new for people there, young and old alike. In other words, it's easy to get fooled by the Capitalist Imperialist trick. Here in USA, the so-called 'Politics' is a little more than a 'Window Dressing' (mainly used by the wealthiest Capitalist/ the One Percent elite who are 'The Power That Be'/ the real ruler of the land), while 'Politicians' are merely 'Poster Boys' put it out as part of Democracy. Finally, Capitalist West's so-called 'Democracy, Freedom, and Human Rights', etc are just marketing terms used by the Rich/obscenely rich Capitalists from The Capitalist USA & the West to sell their game, subjugating the Poor throughout the whole wide world, and milking them for everything they can. In other words, Democracy, Freedom, and Human Rights are just marketing tools used by the Rich from the USA & the West to sell their game, subjugate and milk the Poor worldwide. In fact, a mere fifty (50) Capitalist elites from the USA & the West have more wealth than half the world population, which is nearly 4 billions.

@@youngsixty7395 Western sponsored 'Color Revolution' in Myanmar is now creating humanitarian crises all over the nation, as peaceful protests are turning into violent conflicts. If I'm not mistaken, there's around 100 groups/organizations which are currently funded by the West to incite riots & conflicts in Myanmar. It seems all the Western inciters from places like Hong Kong in the past few years are in Myanmar. If you check out the U.S funding through NED/NGO to Myanmar promoting "Democracy", the list of programs is very extensive. Targeting so many areas in Myanmar's society, including the youth to rebel against the military. This is the result you are seeing today on the ground. The UK also has been providing similar support as well. It's never a noble undertaking when the U.S government starts funding protests.., especially when you also find out that they are funding, training and arming all of the different ethnic minority groups in the region and turning them against each other! The image of grassroots protest the media has been painting is impossible to pass these days when you see all these grassroots protesters with weapons of war, I wonder how that happened! This has been going on for a long time and the U.S had a lot to do with the Rohinga crisis as well. It's been a long term destabilization campaign to for the most part block and undermine China's Belt and Road Initiative, BRI.., promoting all this killing just to support some geopolitical agenda because they would rather destroy their competition than just compete.

Speaking of Western News Media and their affiliates, one can always tell whether a nation is willing to bend over for the West or not. ~ If they are, and they're complete tools, then 'anything' they do would be covered up. ~ If they aren't, then we get stories, through Western news media, about how 'bad' and 'mean' they are. Moreover, when the West needs you, they call you a hero, and give you all kinds of honor. When they find out you are not the puppet they want, then you become a criminal and murderer. Same old lame old Colonialist-turned Capitalist Imperialist trick! The coups in Myanmar and some others around the world today are totally different from the coups which took place over half a century earlier when newly independent nations, including Burma, just came out of centuries-long Colonialism, bitter and poverty-stricken, turned to a new deal of Social-Democratic system (Socialism/Communism). Today's coups, in most cases, are changes in the political system only, while the economic system is mostly left intact. Like I said, today's coups, in nations such as South Korea, the Philippines & Thailand, in most cases, are changes in the political sector only, while the economic/investment sectors are mostly left intact. So what is this the fact that the West & their Western news media hardly utter a negative word about coups in Asian nations such as South Korea & the Philippines in the past and Thailand today; and yet the West, Western news media and their affiliates hardly have a week goes by without having negative comments & reactions regarding coup in Myanmar. May I ask why are they treating it so differently with Myanmar and most of all, what are they up to, what is their truth motives behind all these? Speaking of USA-led joint annual military exercise in Thailand, which has been under military coup since 2014, and true, last August 2021, the largest annual military exercise was held among full participating nations, USA, Thailand, South Korea, Malaysia, Japan, Indonesia & Singapore.

The fact that you as a grown man believe telepathically communicating with an invisible man in the sky that we have zero concrete evidence for is scary. Tens of Billions of people have been praying for world peace since the beginning of human history. We are currently in a 20year war in the middle east. And Russia just started a war with Ukriane. And these are not going to be the last wars in human history. You religious people need to wake up. You have been brainwashed by your parents to believe in that hocus pocus since birth. The Bible does not has Zero concrete evidence for a reason, bc it never happened just like all of the other holy books. Helping hands do a lot more good than praying 🙏 🤲.
