Beneath Naypyidaw's democracy-promoting rhetoric lies a multi-pronged and multi-faceted strategy adopted by the country’s previous junta leaders and current behind-the-scenes wielders of power led by former junta leader Senior General Than Shwe.
Myanmar's current nominal head of state, Thein Sein, is bound soon for Britain, where the country’s former colonizer is expected to roll out the red carpet. This will come despite Thein Sein’s official support for 969, a neo-Nazi Buddhist movement that the Myanmar Home Ministry has incubated with blessings from the highest levels of government over the past 20-plus years.
In light of this irreconcilable gap between the pro-democracy rhetoric coming from Naypyidaw and its international and local spin-masters (including, for instance, the likes of the International Crisis Group (ICG) and Norway's foreign-affairs-peace-oil-Telenor industrial complex) there needs to be a serious rethink about to where and what Myanmar is transitioning.

Buddhists defend themselves against the demographic warfare of Islam and its called “neo-Nazi?”
Take a look at a little world history and see how many former Buddhist nations have succumbed to totalitarianism and Islam over the past 500 years. Buddhist nations are on the endangered species list. Anything that stops the Islamist march for world domination suits me just fine. More power to the Buddhists, lay it on!
"neo-nazi Buddhists"
That's actually rather amusing. Anyone who believes in civilization and isn't some Kool-Aid drinking zombie should be able to see that Islam is not acceptable in any civilized society. What other groups of sociopathic killers would we welcome into our neighborhoods and allow to set up mutual support groups? Serial Killers Are Us?
The logic in the article is that Buddhists who presrve their communities using force are not really Buddhists.
The fact is that Buddhists who cause suffering KNOW they are incurring negative karma. They make that choice because they think preserving their community is worth the price they will pay in terms of negative karma.Its not at all as assumed in the West , that they are “fake” Buddhists, LOL.
Or that Buddhism has “failed.” To the contrary, Buddhism is succeeding by staying alive.
Which explains why there are no ancient cultures or spiritual traditions based on socialist-communist-redistributionist theorems or philosophy. Natural selection favors that about as much it does a bell on a cat. LOL
Nice!
