As predicted in yesterday's 100 words, the Australian trained military is shooting to kill. Extracts from midnight messages:

It is really bad in Rangoon, please can someone do something for our country... it looks like War Zone, i even heard shooting over the phone. It is over 50 shots, right now. but people are not giving up to protest and more and more people coming out to street. They even fired tear gas into primary school.

I sadly announce that the Burmese military junta has cut off the internet connection... I therefore will not be able to feed in pictures of the brutality by the Burmese military junta. I will try my best to feed in their demonic appetite of fear and paranoia by posting any pictures that I receive though other means (Journos!! please don't ask me what other means would be). Please lobby the Chinese government or UN to get junta to switch on the Internet. Please!

Now, the government is trying to make a diversion. They give 10,000 kyats (around $7) & a set of Thin Gan (yellow robe) to "Swan Arr Shin" (to create a SWAT squad) and to disguise them as Monks. Then, command them to destroy the Islamic Mosque. This intends to become a fight between Buddhisms & Islams. So, if you hear or see the news that the monks are destroying the Mosque, these are not real monks. They are just fakes. As you all know, the real monks have no intention like that.

Was it wise or ethical to provide arms and military training to the dictators of Burma, as Australia has been secretly doing for years? You bet, says a high profile foreign affairs analyst, thanks to the 'war on terror'.

This time last year, it was revealed that Canberra "has provided a lot of counter-terrorist training to Burma", some of which is now being brought to bear on Buddhist monks. Makes ya proud. A whole range of policing skills have been passed onto the junta, including the "management of bomb sites". So if the police blow up a Buddhist monastery, Aussies will have played their part. Even our unsavoury Immigration Department has helped extend the junta's reach with "intelligence training", soon to be applied to activists heading for the border.

Burma's Generals and police have been welcomed at Australian courses on "major investigation management", another useful tool in democracy suppression. After welcoming our co-operation with dictators, The Australian's Greg Sheridan announced the "Burmese would like more assistance in their counter-terrorist efforts". His response? "Frankly, we'd be ill-advised to decline". Sleep well, Greg, when they start to beat the monks to pulp.

The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is freedom from fear... Sometimes, 24 hours can bring a total revolutionary change. I think this is the case in the great majority of authoritarian states: on the surface, because of repression, everything seems frozen, but when the sun comes out and the ice melts, you find that there was a lot of life underneath all along.

Gandhi said the victory is in the struggle itself. The struggle itself is the most important thing. I tell our followers that when we achieve democracy, we will look back with nostalgia on the struggle and how pure we were.

We will prevail because our cause is right, because our cause is just. History is on our side. Time is on our side.
