and announced that it will take legal action against the foundation,
which is accused of violating restrictions on the activities of such organizations.

On Monday, military-controlled MRTV announced that the military had
issued arrest warrants for 11 staff members of OSF Myanmar,
including its head and deputy head, on suspicion of giving financial support
to the civil disobedience movement against the military junta.

The regime also claimed that the world’s largest private funder for justice,
democratic governance and human rights had failed to obtain approval
from the Central Bank of Myanmar (CBM)’s Foreign Exchange Management Department for a deposit
of US$5 million (7.04 billion kyats) with the
Small and Medium Enterprise Development Bank (SMED) in Myanmar in 2018.

Samuel Rubin Foundation....

"The Foundation’s mission is to carry on the vision of its founder, Samuel Rubin, whose life was dedicated to the pursuit of peace and justice and the search for an "equitable" reallocation of the world’s resources.

Equitable... Mighty popular word nowadays.. :(

Now, I wouldn’t shed a tear if they sent out spies to get Soros.

Sounds like both sides are relatively pro-China so that’s not really the issue, the issue seems to be corruption, in other words, does the pay to play aspect of everyday business in Myanmar stay with the civilian government or back into the pockets of the military who ruled the place for most of the post-war era before 2010. This recent coup was basically an end to a decade-long civilian government but that didn’t seem to change very much about corruption or the left-leaning aspects of the society. Probably the military junta will have a more realistic view of Chinese influence than the civilian government might have had.

But it would be ironic if Soros got into this difficulty the one time he wasn’t on the wrong side, worth a chuckle anyway. His ties to Dominion and Acorn are worthy of a full investigation, Trump should have got onto that before November 3rd, Soros lucky he didn’t.

Soros was born in August 1930. That makes him almost 92, not almost 82.

Yeah, what a wonderful country. Myanmar. Run by a military junta. With brains splattered all over the street in Yangon, Mandalay, Napidaw and other cities from Saturday and Sunday. Wonderful place. / sarc
