America or Myanmar, Is There a Difference These Days?
I’ve been thinking about the United States regarding the immense loss of liberties in America since 11 September 2001. I really don’t mean loss. We didn’t lose our liberties; we let tyrants steal them from us. I’ve also noticed parallels to the way totalitarian government is developing in America with the way totalitarianism exists in Myanmar today. I believe America is teetering on the edge of an abyss right now from which there is no exit. If America falls to the globalist's neo-communism, as socially divided as we are today, we still fall together into the abyss like Myanmar.
While in Mandalay last year, where there is an entrenched secret police presence with an elite spy network, I knew for sure I was always watched. They observed me since I stood out so obviously wherever I went, and I moved around alone taking photos. But the stares I got, some captured in photos, were hardened and stern, unlike the way people in Yangon looked at me. I was not shy about taking photos and often in Mandalay, people waved me off or covered their faces. I tried not to impose on people, but it was impossible not to do so. In America, with my smart phone and Internet presence, I am also followed around everywhere every minute of the day.
I can’t imagine being Burmese, or anyone from Burma. It’s a restrictive, inhibited place with a strict police state and military presence that's always thuggish in appearance and in action. They maintain complete control over every aspect of life of Myanmar’s citizens. Yet, in Myanmar, I felt safe all the time when I was there. I never felt at risk - ever. Why would I? The police followed me around, so I was protected. Plus, I never let myself get stuck in an unpleasant situation. I stayed clear of places where people with bad habits took drugs or drank too much, and I paid homage to cultural sites and respected Buddhism, Islam, and my Christian life. In Myanmar, I wasn't a typical foreigner, and that caused suspicion. In America, being a typical American with common sense, hard working, straight, married, with male and female children with Christian values, a gun owner, and one who who respects the rule of law and human rights, is suspicious to the current regime.

Myanmar's people face a variety of seriously increasing perils and personal dangers like robbery, home invasion, rape, and murder, to name a few. Then there’s the military government. I listened to first-hand accounts of how people disappeared in the night. The events happened typically with small trucks loaded with uniformed and heavily armed police or soldiers. Kind of like a Burmese version of an FBI SWAT unit in America. In Myanmar, police and soldiers are almost the same. In America, the militarized police also look like soldiers more than ever before. In Myanmar, soldiers drive up, run into a home, snatch someone, and that special someone is never seen alive again. In America, the FBI drives up, snatches people from their home, and locks them up in prison, some never to be seen alive again.
There are many undercover spies in Myanmar who inform on citizens. No one is immune. The Myanmar people tend not to piss each other off these days, probably because they're all equally pissed off at the military government. In America, where people only piss each other off, it seems people are at war with each other while the uniparty government and elitist kleptocrats suck all their money away. It’s also true that Americans are increasingly eager to rat out each other to get someone in trouble. Citizen ratting happens in Myanmar too, but it’s because of a vast network of informants who are paid or coerced into ratting. American’s rat out others for political, social, and fake racial attack reasons, or they stage conflicts and act like victims to get attention or to get followers on social media.
The Myanmar military arresting protesters and threatening one brave photographer.
I heard stories in Myanmar about disappearances that happened all around Myanmar after the 2021 coup - in the thousands, according to some. Abductions were said to have gone on for months after the actual uprising in response to the coup, which itself was extremely bloody. Since the J6 2021 protests in Washington, DC , American protesters are still being arrested today, and the numbers also reach into the thousands. The last I heard was that three thousand two-hundred people were on the Biden-FBI hit list. I’m hard pressed to see any difference between Myanmar and America. Americans can never feel safe. The leftist dictatorship wants to take our guns. In Myanmar, citizens had no guns until after the 2021 coup. Now they do, and now they have a fighting chance to gain liberty and freedom - or they can die fighting for liberty and freedom.
The Myanmar police are adept at totalitarian police tactics. In Myanmar, during the coup, police took videos of the crowds and carefully reviewed them for months after the protests. The FBI is doing that today with the J6 protesters. Supposedly, Speaker McCarthy was going to reveal the actual footage the FBI uses to identify J6 protesters, but nothing but mouse farts have come from him. Perhaps he is part of the New World Order, or the Deep State's “trust the plan” psyop. After their coup, the Myanmar dictatorship made arrests, questioned detainees, and got confessions and names. They then went out and picked up more and more citizens, just like the FBI is doing in America today.
Think of the J6 protesters in America. The political persecutions of J6 protesters are exactly the same as what’s happening in Myanmar. In both countries, dictatorships imprison protesters for many years. I can't say it enough, there is exactly no difference from what the Myanmar dictatorship historically does to protesters and what the Biden regime’s FBI is doing to opposition protesters in America today. No matter what your politics in America are, Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, whatever, everyone is at risk of suffering under the globalist backed dictatorship now solidifying its New World Order presence in America.
Every American is subject to political persecution, imprisonment for wrong-speech, and for uttering truthy non-regime-conforming ideas. And don’t forget how the Republicans arrested people for wearing peace symbols on t-shirts during the run-up to George W. Bush’s invasion of Iraq twenty-years ago. Under the Republican George W. Bush regime, they locked protesters down in Free Speech Zone cages. They literally caged free speech and surrounded the cages with heavily armed guards. Think about how nuts that was. Not even the Myanmar dictatorship would do something so offensive as to pretend they support free speech by erecting what amounted to be inadvertent public art displays symbolizing what the deep state Uniparty really thinks of free speech.
How long do we have to wait before authoritarian rule in America grows to resemble even a fraction more like it exists in Myanmar? When will the American dictatorship just shoot protesters down in the streets, or shoot protesters inside a building like they killed Ashley Babbit? It feels like civil war is just around the corner if the current regime puts President Trump in prison like the Myanmar dictatorship put its Democracy leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, in prison - again. What’s the difference between what’s happening in America to what’s happening in Myanmar? The short answer is, there is no difference. Dictatorship is dictatorship.
Military dictatorship in Burma and democratic dictatorship in America are equally offensive. They may use a different means to achieve similar ends. But both seek to control people and resources for selfish profit. Facing a dictatorship under any political ideology makes me think this, quoting Jack Nicholson playing a mobster in the movie The Departed, “When someone’s pointing a gun in your face, what’s the difference?”
