trump and tree of hate he seeded with his hate speeches.

https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/trump-pittsburgh-synagogue-visit-shooting_us_5bd8c95ae4b01abe6a190541 The haters in Burma and pseudo monks should also take note. One commentator on CNN said, after pipe bombs -- trump's"presidential behavior" never lasts longer than 48 hours,"never longer than yogurt." And true enough at 3 AM he was tweeting hatred again. Then he has sent troops to "guard border" and is talking about taking away citizenship birthrights of immigrants who are not citizens, or not yet citizens. Green card holders have along waiting period. Local officials and some leading politicians did not go with trmp family to Pittsburgh. It is said, GOP/Republicans are losing hope for midterm elections and they should. With a so-called prez. like that! 10-31-2018

Under this president, USA is a land of hate & guns.

Rohingya Mothers--Ashley Judd will match all donations.

But I always have mixed feelings abt UN https://internationalcampaignforfreedom.blogspot.com/2018/10/unfpa-join-ashley-judd-to-save-lives-of.html Anyway, it's better than nothing. Pl retweet or post on your social media accts. However, I am not a fan of FB for a legitimate reason (my acct was cloned) and so I prefer you use other types of accts. Also FB allowed lots of fake accts and hate accts, esp with regard to the Rohingya. km

Grandpa's kitchen--chicken biryani for 50+

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cH-j8QNCjMg He really feeds his children well. See how to cook clean and well with the barest of facilities, but good water and supplies. Plastic spoons should be provided. I cook Hyderabadi biryani, but process is a bit different. Doesn't matter. Like me he foregoes saffron, the most expensive spice in the world, maybe now $5 for 5 small stamens of saffron crocus. He stints on nothing else. I like the way he does not talk much, sits and waits for it to cook, and tastes everything first, then shares widely. Do the same, kmk 6-17-2018

Daily Beast: Kim Jung Un tells us what Trump gave away.

Quote of the day, from Ceaucescu wiki

Friday, June 01, 2018 Quote of the day--from Ceaucescu wiki. As anti-government protesters demonstrated in Timișoara in December 1989, he perceived the demonstrations as a political threat and ordered military forces to open fire on 17 December, causing many deaths and injuries. The revelation that Ceaușescu was responsible resulted in a massive spread of rioting and civil unrest across the country.[4] The demonstrations, which reached Bucharest, became known as the Romanian Revolution—the only violent overthrow of a communist government in the turn of the Revolutions of 1989.[5] Ceaușescu and his wife, Elena, fled the capital in a helicopter, but were captured by the armed forces after the armed forces changed sides. On 25 December, after being tried and convicted of economic sabotage and genocide,[6] they were immediately executed by firing squad,[7] and Ceaușescu was succeeded as President by Ion Iliescu, who had played a major part in the revolution. Capital punishment was abolished shortly thereafter.

I am seriously thinking of closing down this site.

I've already closed down my Facebook page. Follow me on my Twitter feed or on my regular blog https://kyimaykaung.blogspot.com I don't think you are a Burmese capable of operating in the international arena, if Burmese if your only language is Burmese, like a Burmese dictator, or villager. CFN KMK

A site you should check out daily--

Wednesday, May 30, 2018 A site you should ALWAYS check out--how DJT daily undermines Democratic Institutions-- http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show Daily, DJT becomes more like a Burmese dictator/general. Dictators, of course, play Executive Orders to the hilt, that's the definition of the word "dictator" and Ne Win's junta (still existing today) runs things with an army chain of command, top down. Till the early 1980s I lived in Burma, and since then it is my life's work studying Burma. NW, just like DJT today, used to deride scholars, artists, poets, intellectuals on a daily basis. Only difference was he did not have Twitter. However, he "tweeted" via his intelligence network,he called a dictionary "half-baked", he spread dis-info about UN Secretary General U Thant, he had alleged ties to Mossad and a German arms manufacturer. He had property in Wimbledon, UK. My sources were very reliable and some had seen his behavior up close and in person. Such as when he beat up a physics instructor, who got drunk at an official reception and called his wife Kitty a whore; when he beat up 2 people at the golf club (my source was the late Louis Wallinsky, economic advisor to the democratic government of U Nu.) The time he ripped open his pants!!! because Kitty would not stitch them, and walked around with his organ literally hanging out. (This was related to my mother, when she had an hysterectomy, by another patient in the gynae ward, who was the wife of NW's aid de camp.) Just a few weeks and a few years ago, 2 women told me of NW's disgusting language, and how the 2nd woman's uncle's wife, had attempted suicide, damaging the child in her belly, because Kitty Ne Win had an affair with her husband. You can easily see on the Internet, in NW's wiki article, images of a military assistant kneeling on the floor near Ne Win. I am collecting all this for a book on Ne Win. So if you have any dirt, send it along to https://kyimaykaung.blogspot.com as a "comment". Thanks, KMK 5-30-2018 Posted by Kyi May at 7:00 AM No comments:

Paraplegic team socks Trump for insensitive remarks--yes, he's the guy who made fun of disabled/differently abled journalist.

https://www.aol.com/article/news/2018/04/28/paralympic-games-organizers-respond-to-insensitive-trump-remarks/23422716/ People should be careful of making fun of people for health conditions that are not their fault. I once saw an NGO worker on a practice panel who snatched the mike from his disabled colleague, they were supposed to be play-acting for doing a presentation to set up a disabled NGO in Burma and another woman stepped in over the office partition and tried to tell 4 Ph.D.s including me, deliberating over prizes for NGO employees, that one contestant had a "mental disease" which the interferer could not even name properly-- I was so mad I stepped out and told this woman her behavior was totally unacceptable. This non-profit did not invite me back in future years when they "went inside Burma" from Thailand, but it is not something I could have ignored. In any case I have no respect for people who jump the fence and go from being advisors to the Exile Government to being advisors for Thein Sein--that is like working for the Jews to going to "advise" Hitler. kmk 4-28-2018
