Misc - MYANMAR WRITER SAYS "COLONIALISTS" USE RADIO STATIONS TO "BREAK UP" NATION | Excerpt from article in English by U Pyay Kyaw headlined: "Innate nature of foreign radio station", published by Burmese newspaper The New Light of Myanmar on 1 October [Passage omitted: Importance of Burma Constitutional Convention; history of US Constitution] Myanmar people have the rights to deal with the Myanmar's political affairs in accord with the desire of the majority of the people. Inciting protests in accordance with the plots hatched by alien elements and failing to respect the image of the nation and the people is just opposing the people. In fact, the plots are hatched by neocolonialists and spread by such foreign radio stations as BBC, VOA and RFA in which expatriates are given places. Local axe-handles are dancing to the tune played every night by these stations. In this regard, I would like to present some points about the media of colonialists or certain radio stations that are raising the role of expatriate national traitors. The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is a private enterprise carrying out its functions under the supervision of the British government. The British government has to select 12 members of the board of BBC, and they are then appointed under the approval of the Queen. The British government provides more than 100 million for BBC. It does not release such kinds of news stories prohibited by the British government, for example news about IRA and scandals of the British Intelligence Agency. It can broadcast freely any news stories about other countries. Whenever a nation or an organization makes complaints about made-up stories of BBC, the British government does not take responsibility for such cases and said that BBC was just a private enterprise, so such cases were not its concern Jehail, who resigned from Scotland Yard and used to be adviser to BBC once said that no one could enter another country if he did not hold a visa and passport. Aeroplanes had to seek permission of the nation concerned to fly in the air space of that nation. Radio waves could enter the air space of any country freely. So, radio waves would be used for political purposes, he said. Now, VOA of the US practises the policy of Jehail. BBC attacks all West Bloc's targeted countries round the clock. In 1946, Bogyoke Aung San (Major General Aung San) and party had a meeting for Myanmar's independence in London. When Aung San-Attlee Agreement was about to be reached, Bogyoke Aung San tried to inform the good news about independence to the people in Myanmar through BBC. Myanmar nationals U Tin Maung and U Khin who were serving for BBC at that time provided assistance with pleasure. U Tin Maung and U Khin submitted the case of message to his superiors. BBC asked the two to omit some paragraphs and to add some expressions to it. The message thus lost its essence. Out of anger, Bogyoke Aung San tore it into pieces. So, the message was not broadcast. Voice of America (VOA) was founded during the World War to propagate the policies of the US to win victory. VOA was reinforced for the Cold War against the Bloc of the Soviet Union. Like BBC, VOA broadcast its news programmes in many languages including Myanmar. In the post-independence period, it deliberately improved the role of the insurgent groups and encouraged them. In the movement of expatriates U Nu and U Law Yon in 1969-70, Myanmar staff of VOA, who were no longer Myanmar citizens, brokered between the expatriates and the US government, Congress, and CIA. Journals of expatriates at that time were published under the supervision of U Thaung Khin. Throughout the Cold War, VOA, like BBC, not only attacked east European countries and the Soviet Union but also criticized the West Bloc's targeted countries. Rightist militarists of the US formed centrefe group and provided huge funds to VOA to air its programmes extensively. Congress promulgated a law for VOA under which US citizens had no rights to listen to VOA news programmes aired to other countries. It meant that the Congress did not want to let US citizens know VOA news programmes of lies. CIA of the US established SWAN [anti-Castro radio set up by USA in 1960 based on Great Swan Island between Honduras and Cuba] and Radio Jose Merti [as published] broadcasting stations to break up Socialist countries in Latin America and Cuba, Radio Free Europe near Munich, Germany, and Radio Liberty or Radio Liberation that broadcast programmes in various languages used in the Soviet Union to crush East Europe and the Soviet Union. The US Congress passed the budget and the US State Department provided funds to VOA. RFE (Radio Free Europe) aired propaganda programmes in the languages of Eastern European countries round the clock. When the governments of the eastern European countries were ousted, CIA founded Radio Free Asia (RFA), whose headquarters is based in Washington DC, where the seat of the US President is located. VOA broadcasts its programmes in Chinese to throw off Chinese (Communist) government, in Tibetan to separate Tibet from China, in Korean to throw off the Communist government of North Korea, in Vietnamese to break up Vietnam (Communist), and in Myanmar to the Tatmadaw government that is safeguarding the nation through the national policy to ensure non-disintegration of the Union and to install a puppet government in the nation with the intention of manipulating the Myanmar affairs. CIA also formed Democratic Voice of Burma (DVB) in Norway with the budget permitted by the Congress for Myanmar expatriates (expatriates in the 8-8-1988 unrest). It appoints expatriates and national traitors from the nations concerned in Radio Liberty, RFE, Radio SWAN, Radio Jose Merti, RFA, DVB Radio, BBC, and VOA. Now, most of the staff in RFA, BBC, VOA and DVB are Myanmar national expatriates and outlaws who fled abroad after the 8 August 1988 unrest. The purpose of those who are anxious to manipulate and exploit Myanmar is to break up Myanmar and make Myanmar people slaves again. The renegades who have been caught in the trap of the colonialists are expending their motherland, race and religion for their livelihood. If not, they will get into trouble and will be stranded abroad. The colonialists who are desperate to break up Myanmar are like Sula Subhadda in King Elephant Chaddan Jataka (Play). They are using BBC, VOA, RFA and DVB to undermine stability and peace of Myanmar to be able to install a puppet government. However, today's Myanmar people have been aware of such possible dangers according to their experiences about 8 August 1988 unrest. A handful of axe-handles are still abysmally stupid up to now. Therefore, the people who favour peace and stability are to be constantly vigilant against the activities of foreign radio stations such as BBC and VOA with patriotic spirit.

Misc - NIGERIA ............................................................... Misc - RUSSIA - HISTORY Mihail Gorbachov también escuchaba a Radio Liberty http://www.guiadelaradio.com/500/500.html Mihail Gorbachov también escuchaba a Radio Liberty (30/9) Fuente: L. Fanals - Diari de Girona «Éramos todos muy amigos, como una familia. Fue una época irrepetible, entre todos había una relación buenísima». Chelo Argüelles, extrabajadora de la estación de Radio Liberty que emitía desde la playa de Pals, se emocionó el viernes al atardecer con el preestreno del documental Adiós, Liberty, producido por la productora gerundense Canal Paradis y TV3. No fue la única. Vecinos de Pals, extrabajadores y personas de toda la comarca se acercaron hasta el pabellón polideportivo del municipio, para ver en prímicia un documental que reune una parte importante de la reciente historia del pueblo. Algunos salieron satisfechos, como la misma Chelo, que además es una de las protagonistas del filme. «Encuentro que ha quedado muy bien, hay una gran diversidad de imágenes y opiniones, creo que es imparcial», señalaba, acompañada por otro de los extrabajadores y protagonista, Albert Castejón. Otros vecinos, en cambio, opinaron que tampoco daba ninguna información nueva y se reflejaba poco el impacto que había tenido sobre la gente de Pals. Pero ya se sabe: nunca no llueve a gusto de todo el mundo. Como mínimo, lo que sí ha conseguido el documental es inmortalizar la historia y, sobre todo, los últimos días de las populares antenas, gracias a la voz de extrabajadores, dirigentes norteamericanos e incluso relevantes personajes de la vida política española, como Santiago Carrillo y Manuel Fraga Iribarne. Lo cierto es, pero, que nadie sintió tan suyas las antenas como sus trabajadores, muchos de los cuales no quisieron perderse el documental. Al verse en pantalla grande, Chelo Argüelles y Albert Castejón se sorprendieron. «Siempre piensas que podrías haber dicho una cosa en vez de la otra, pero ya se sabe, se ruedan muchas horas de entrevista y entonces sólo salen pequeños fragmentos», señalaron. Ambos tienen muy presentes sus días en la emisora, al igual que Vladimiro Borachov, el tercer extrabajador que aparece al documental. Y también reconocen el valor: «El mismo Gorbachov se enteró del golpe de Estado en contra suya por Radio Liberty», explicó Argüelles. De la misma manera, cree que la emisora sirvió para explicar a los soviéticos «muchas cosas que no sabían, nadie se las explicaba». ¿Que la información tal vez era interesada, por parte de los Estados Unidos? Pues probablemente sí, reconoce, pero como mínimo se daba información nueva a los soviéticos. Y es que la información que se envía desde Radio Liberty no era propiamente propaganda, ya que eso estaba prohibido, pero sí que se daba a conocer el estilo de vida americano (el famoso american way of life) para que los soviéticos la pudiesen conocer y, por lo tanto, desearla. Otro momento inolvidable para Argüelles y Castejón fue la voladura de las antenas, el 22 de marzo de 2006. «Fue espectacular», reconocen, a pesar de que tampoco sintieron «ninguna pena ideológica», ya que no tenía sentido mantener la emisora en pie. A pesar de eso, sí que les supo mal ver desaparecer, en pocos segundos, el lugar donde habían desarrollado gran parte de su vida laboral. «Para los de dentro, fue una cosa indescriptible», señalan. De aquellos años les queda, sobre todo, la amistad. Muchos extrabajadores residen en Pals o pueblos de las cercanías, y a pesar de que no se ven muy a menudo, de vez en cuando sí que se van encontrando. Y siempre se recuerda, inevitablemente, aquellas antenas que ya forman parte de la memoria de Pals.
