Un monde, des Idees - One World, Many Ideas

I've experienced your land in 2004 and again in 2008. You have the same charm but unfortunately still on the wrong slope. The lady, as it is called, Aung San Su Kyi remains under house arrest. There is an American Mormon who made a night vision and predicted that misfortune would happen to the lady. Then in May he decided to cross the Inya Lake leading into the house where the lady is kept without raising the attention of the guards. He wanted to tell her that the sword of Damocles is hanging out on her. I wonder what's the worst thing that may happen to a lady of 60 years imprisoned for over two decades? Hah! the Mormons and their vision! It asks only to curse him to do such thing. It's been almost 20 years since the lady is liquidated politically and when the hope of liberation comes, we had the unfortunate chance to see the appearance of a crappy American Mormon. The hell. So not too many changes and the lady got 5 additional years of house arrest for "hosting illegally a foreigner in her house".

Nothing has changed, still the same number 1 and with his oddly iron physical constitution. But his North Korean counterpart is not very healthy currently, therefore there is hope that rogues can not disabuse death. The future is bleak for this country that has known only war and people in fatigues for 50 years.

Hopes seem muffled, revolts tanned, ideas stillborn thank to the total brain wash operation conducted by the regime. A clean and orderly population. The violence here is calm. Contrary to what one believes there is no military anywhere with Kalashnikov. This violence is diffuse, integrated, assimilated and assigned to the victims themselves. It is the country of accusations and blackmail. The small vendor in the round-about is an indicator, everyone informing on everyone. What makes this country one of the most locked of the world as the legitimated violence of the power is exercised by the people themselves. One could say cynically that this country has perfected the art of dictatorship and control of mentality. 

Any change will be slow and will require a phase of chaos with a heavy human cost. It will be the price. Otherwise, nothing will change and the General will give birth to other generals once torn by the grim reaper. But easier to say with a the stomach full of wine and cheese, and when we never have experienced the prisons of Mandalay. A hell on earth. 

And if only I have a magic wand .... At least we can still testifying.
