(Chanmyasoe) PART I. Orwell wrote 1984 about British and Burmese fascism in 1948.
"Burma VJ" (video journal) is a moving and shocking account of a recent Buddhist revolution against a totalitarian government. The popular protests that broke out across Rangoon in 2007 were brutally suppressed by police state tactics. Yet, they continue.
PART VI
This movie relies entirely on documentary footage shot by undercover reporters risking their lives to get the movement on film. It has been pieced together to form a picture of the events that took place over months.
It covers the initial protests led by Buddhist monks and nuns. Demonstrations broke out in response to a rise in fuel prices. This was a trigger on top of many government abuses and oppression. The movie also captures the brutal crack down by authorities.

A History of Revolution Similar uprisings have taken place in other Buddhist countries: Tibet, with Chinese communist repression, Cambodia, with a violent reaction by the fascist Khmer Rogue regime, Nepal, a revolution spurred by Maoists and taken down by nervous pro-China government forces, Thailand, as Red and Yellow shirts or pro- and anti-government parties shut down the country, Laos, Vietnam, and Afghanistan (formerly Buddhist Kapilavastu), where American forces were instrumental in destroying rebellions.
Spielberg's hit movie centers around kids who film something that changes their lives.
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." We live in a time of dissonance: we actually have to work hard not to see what is going on all around us. Meditation can be this way. We miss the forest for the trees. But we are alone in there. And it's not easy to "let things happen." Surely there is something we should be doing.
How to capture UFOs on camera
Out here among everyone, it should be a lot easier. But when we are all in denial, all unaware of what is looming and lurking, it becomes easier to abide in denial. If the dogs were barking and people were scurrying, there would be no resting. With everyone staring at their phones, on drugs, exhausted, distracted, and hungry for stimulation and connection, what chance is there to look up in the sky and see what is right there?
How can I see a UFO?
Anyone who wants to see alien craft can go to Dr. Stephen Greer, Richard C. Hoagland, or Ed Grimsley and literally SEE the forms that are there to be seen. "Seeing is believing," we say, but it is not true. Many who have seen still come away "nonbelievers."
Believing has nothing to do with certainty; why "believe" something one has seen? It is and needs no believing. By the same token, once we know, if we do not act or change on account of it, it is as if we had chosen to carry on, to compartmentalize that knowledge. Once the consensus reality catches us and permits us, then we will be at the forefront saying, "Oh, sure, I knew that."
See it to Believe it
Ed Grimsley (edgrimsley.com/skywatch) researches and videotapes UFOs using night vision technology. He has successfully filmed what he has experience, many unidentified flying objects that do not behave like conventional aircraft. They seem to be battling one another, which goes a long way towards explaining the need for chemtrails and better radar technology. His organization is called Skywatch.
Witnesses with Grimsley see and videotape saucer-shaped craft using binoculars with night vision technology. Naysayers explain away the videos more easily than they do the sightings, saying they are merely birds, bats, bugs, bits of dust, or "artifacts" in the binoculars. Never mind that this runs counter to the experience of those making the sightings. How can we deny what we are seeing if we will not even bother to look firsthand?
The objects are flying, and they are unidentified, and that would make them UFOs by definition. But we all know a UFO is more than an anomaly. We mean aliens in alien spacecraft. Many of these vehicles are secret military technology that, whistle blowers claim, were captured and reverse engineered. These intelligently operated objects are more than flukes. And they seem to be engaged in something important that we are not being told.
The audio is the famous speech from the film "Network"
Smile. The telescreen is watching. Red light camera traffic tickets are a scam.
But it's not Big Brother watching. He's rented out the job to a private company. It's still spying -- family member against family member, and no one is safe (unless maybe you have government exemption plates).
The private for profit corporation that sold intersection cameras and exclusive maintenance contracts to cities across the country did so with promises of free money.
But the offense is rarely for dangerously running a red light. The money to be made is for automatically generating thousands of tickets for rolling stops at yellow lights. The "California roll" may not be safe but it is hardly something to be punished with a ticket that can run $500. And it is widely practiced.
Pitching the promise of preventing motorists from running red lights and causing intersection disasters, these private camera companies have in fact gone overboard. They send out representatives to train municipalities how to set their leased cameras to catch conscientious motorists on a technicality.
(Even if the cameras cause more accidents by people stopping short while trying to avoid getting ticketed, cities just want to see the returns they were promised that have never materialized).
The motive on both sides -- between the camera company and the cities, because the motoring public does not figure into the equation -- is easy: profits. Whose profits? Not the city's, the company's. And they have been very successful riding the backs of overtaxed drivers.
Some drivers are as mad as niraya and are not going to take it anymore! Others don't mind being gouged as punitive fees for first time offenses skyrocket to refill municipal coffers drained by the economic downturn. At a time when everyone has less income to spare, the ticket fines are going way up. That leaves one between a rock and a hard place.
What can a person do after being ticketed by mail?
