The title, at this time, of the article on the BBC website: “Army broadcasts Rangoon warning” .

Asia pinglist ping.

This is going to get ugly. The protests have metastasized, and these monks don’t care what the army does. The army doesn’t care either. Look out.

The title of the article has changed. “Burmese monks defy army warning” .

Sure, tons of monks
Do march and rave,
But army punks
Use Burma-Shave.

This bears watching. Currently the US gov. is relocating thru amnesty 1000s of Burmese.

if you’d like to see how desparate the Junta is :

trying like hell to pull all the strings they have with the
committed senior Sangha that have been on the government dole so long they forget what it is like to wish for FREEDOM!

[Think free or die]

Prayers for the brave monks and their supporters.

Is this the Myanmar the Pres mentioned today at the UN?

UPDATE! RANGOON!!

The military are moving in now, they have started the shooting (over their heads to disperse, not directly into the crowds, just YET), international reports are that (some) monks are being hit with sticks and poles--injury and arrest reports are coming in. There is some rifle firing. Military junta declared the monks and others marches as illegal, and also ordered an evening curfew.

It should be sunset in Burma in just a few hours. It is 6 a.m. Wednesday Eastern Time.

They may pull a Tiananmen after all, after dark.
