Evil Alive and Well in Myanmar

As its people suffer and die from lack of food and water the Tribune Newspapers reported this morning that the country's military are simultaneously turning away aid and at the same time they are loading tons of good rice for export through its main port on Friday, May 8, 2008 bound for Bangladesh.

"Four of Thilawa port's five berths for oceangoing container vessels were empty, but a crane was loading large white sacks into the hold of a freighter. The sacks were
filled with rice destined for Bangladesh, according to the drivers of at least
10 transport trucks waiting to deliver several tons more rice to the docks.The
junta has a monopoly on rice exports and said this week that it plans to meet
commitments to sell rice, which has reached record-high prices on the world
market, to countries including Bangladesh and Sri Lanka even though Myanmar's
main rice-producing region suffered the worst cyclone damage. The cyclone caused
massive destruction in the Irrawaddy River delta, where farmers are now
desperate for food.Yet as rice was loaded onto a freighter for export at
Thilawa, cyclone survivors in nearby villages said authorities had handed out
rations of rotting rice, apparently from ruined stocks in the port's warehouse.
The storm soaked about 40 percent of the stored rice supplies, according to the
chief driver, who did not want to be named to avoid problems with government
officials."


For anyone that does not believe the very essence of Evil, Lucifer, or the Devil exists...you need to look no further.
