US-Backed Racist to Run in Myanmar’s Elections
Meet
Ko Ko Gyi. He is a US-funded agitator working hard to reinstate Western
hegemony in Myanmar (still referred to by its British imperial
nomenclature “Burma” by the Western press) since at least the late
1980’s. Now, he seeks to take the next step, running for office in
upcoming elections, but in order to do so, the West will now have to
cover up his dark past and his controversial present.
His “88 Generation Students” group is described by the BBC as:
The 88 Generation Students group is synonymous with the long struggle for democracy in military-ruled Burma.Its name comes from the 1988 uprising, when troops opened fire
on mass student demonstrations in Rangoon, leading to the deaths of
thousands of people.
In addition to the 1988 protests, he and
his group would join others, including throngs of saffron-clad “monks”
during the so-called “Saffron Revolution” in 2007. Together with Aung
San Suu Kyi, leader of the opposition National League for Democracy
(NLD) party, these three groups form a trifecta of foreign-funded
sociopolitical destabilization, subversion, and serve together as a
vector for Western special interests seeking to reenter and despoil the
Southeast Asian state’s economy, resources, and sovereignty.

There is, however, another factor, all
three groups share – a passionate, racist hatred of the Rohingya people –
many of whom have lived in Myanmar for generations. This racist hatred
has manifested itself not only in words, but also in violence. Mobs led
by Suu Kyi’s “saffron monks” have raided Rohingya communities, hacking
to death their inhabitants and burning to the ground their homes. Those
who survive end up in refugee camps which are likewise raided by Suu
Kyi’s followers, or driven into the sea in such large numbers they are
sometimes referred to as the “boat people.”

Ko Ko Gyi has previously articulated his views on the Rohingya. In a report titled, “‘Trauma Will Last Long Time': Ko Ko Gyi,” posted by the US State Department-funded propaganda clearinghouse “Irrawaddy” it states that:
In early June, Ko Ko Gyi accused
“neighboring countries” of fueling the unrest in Arakan State, and
stated categorically that the 88 Generation group will not recognize the
Rohingyas as an ethnicity of Burma. He said that his organization and
its followers are willing to take up arms alongside the military in
order to fight back against “foreign invaders.”
