"Entitled to free false teeth" --

Confronting the Stalin Myth

by Hamilton Walters in Dictator Watch.

Anyone who says dictators are different depending on location is a fool. This article shows dictators are much the same, whether they are Burmese or Soviet.

More later on Robert Conquest and his books on the Stalinist Purges.

When Gorbachev opened the official archives, it was discovered that Robert Conquest had in fact underestimated the numbers of those killed by Stalin. In fact, more had been killed.

The next article in this stack, also by Hamilton Walters, shows how biased some "Burma experts" are in denying the severity of human rights abuses in Burma.

There is already a lot of physical evidence and one day there will be more.

In the videos by Citizen Journalists from inside Burma, the victims and the witnesses had carefully marked the blood stains for the photographer with bits of brick at a monastery that had been raided.

A month after the Burmese junta's crackdown, which still continues, we send metta (loving kindness) in our prayers for all those who died and are dying for Burma's Freedom.

Rest in Peace.
