But don't be surprised if he chooses to remain behind the scenes as the unofficial “Senior President” or “President Mentor,” the real power behind the scenes.

So, here's a snapshot of the new Burma: the new government will be composed of the regime's incumbent ministers; about 80 percent of the USDP candidates will have seats in the brand new parliament; Than Shwe will be elected president or assume the “President Mentor” role; ethnic groups who signed cease-fire agreements are likely to fight the regime, in response to increased pressure on them to become a border guard force.

Oh, yes. Don't expect to see the release of the more than 2,200 political prisoners under this new government.

Well, they are only princesses, but they forgot to cooperate with the 'Empress' Daw Aung San Suu Kyi! All of their fathers were comrades and formed the anti Facists Peoples' Freedom League (AFPFL) under the leadership of General Aung San and their struggle succeded. Now, why don't they form a new AFPFL under the leadership of DASSK? This time the Facists are not the Japanese Military but the Burmese Military.

Oh, yes, Than Shwe the snake will not release Aunty Suu from prison until Aunty signs the condition of release. She will be immobilised first.
This is now Than Shwe Kingdom. He had already obtained the mandate to kill so many monks, students and workers consented by the rubber-stamped parliaments. All the ethnics army will be crushed to death by using chemical warfare. China, India and Thailand must shut their mouths. These three countries will be given unfettered, unrestricted access to rape Burma and its natural resources in compensation for the deaths of some Chinese, Siamese and Indians. These 3 countries will hail the emperor Than Shwe as a true hero and friend of them. How about that? It is the truth. Oh, yes, North Korea's new leader will come and study in Than Shwe`s kingdom, learning ways and means of oppressing 50 or so million subjects.

Brothers and Sisters of Burma become united as a force and support your brave Brothers and Sisters in the DKBA and the KNU. Fight for your freedom and destroy this traitor Thitsaphout Than Shwe and every part of his evil Junta.
When this parasite Than Shwe has been destroyed then Burma will be free, free from murder torture rape and slavery. Free from the illegal hold Than Shwe has over your lives, at last you will be masters in your own country, and no longer will you have to bow before this traitor Thitsaphout Than Shwe. Brothers and Sisters Unite together march into the light of freedom.
