Buffalohair: Burma: Angels Assist Kachin Soldiers in Battlefield Miracles

Burma: Angels Assist Kachin Soldiers in Battlefield Miracles

In the heat of battle, Kachin troops found themselves under attack from several flanks. When all seemed lost a Kachin officer appeared out of nowhere, standing in plain view of both Burmese and Kachin troops. Instantly he began directing gunfire and the Kachin dutifully followed orders redirected their fire sucessfuly forcing the aggressors to retreat. The officer began pointing out other hot-spots; again the Kachin routed more entrenched invaders. When the battle was over the Kachin officer simply vanished into thin air.

Michael the Archangel

When Jinghpaw soldiers reported back to headquarters and inquired about this heroic officer in the battlefield, command did not know this officer nor did they send anyone. Soldiers who witnessed this phantom officer mentioned that he was standing tall in spite of Burmese troops shooting everything they had at him. This is not the first time a phantom officer appeared to Jinghpaw troops and literally save the day.

There is no question the Kachin march under the Christian flag as well as the Kachin. They pray before engaging the enemy and walk with absolute faith within their Baptist belief system. Are these phantoms actually Angel’s sent from G*D? To the fighting Kachin there is no question they have re-enforcements from a higher power. Superstitious Burmese troops also witnessed these phantoms and I could only imagine what went through their minds when bullets had no effect. Miracles have become regular occurrences for these brave and courageous Jinghpaw soldiers.

My Kachin brother stressed the point that the Kachin people don’t hate Burmese or other religions and only wish to live in harmony with their neighbors. He told me the Kachin already know they are alone in this fight. But with the arrival of these ‘Angel’s’ or phantoms they may not be as alone as they are perceived to be. These Angel’s appeared at a most critical time in the heat of combat and they were truly an answer to their prayers. With people from around the world also praying in earnest for a miracle it is a pleasure to inform them, “Yes your prayers most definitely are being heard and answered’.  

I also want the Jinghpaw back in Kachinland to know that they are not alone in their struggle to save their nation & people. They are in the hearts and soul of people from around the world and people from all denominations are offering prayers for their survival. As word spreads about the injustice being perpetrated against the Kachin people they are appalled and shocked as details come into focus. People are beginning to question their politicians as to exactly why sanctions are being lifted when people are being killed by a government who claims to be a budding democracy. They are also questioning why the media has chosen to disregard news about Burma’s Secret War.

My question is, “How many politicians are invested in corporations who want to turn Kachinland into an open pit mine?” Unfortunately, there are a multitude of politicians who are invested in mining and rare earth mineral futures globally speaking. With Hillary & Bill Clinton deep in the pockets of international mining interests Burma does have powerful allies. But with Angels re-enforcing Kachin soldiers in the battlefield Burma is woefully outnumbered and destined to be defeated. Just remember the story of David & Goliath, the story of a well armed Philistine behemoth of a warrior named Goliath, who was defeated by a simple rock tossed by a shepherd boy named David. Obviously Angels were with David and I can’t help but wonder; was Michael the Archangel disguise as a Kachin officer? I would not be surprised.

As for me, I will continue to make medicine and offer prayers within my tradition for my Kachin brothers and sister for they are not alone or forgotten, by me or G*D.

Buffalohair, Burma: Heavy Fighting Continues in Kachin and Shan States

Burma: Heavy Fighting Continues in Kachin and Shan States

Burma’s war against the Kachin people has gone under the radar of the mainstream media for over a year. Only a few days ago the Kachin commemorated a year since the Military Junta of Burma first broke a 17 year old ceasefire. It’s been a tumultuous time in *Kachinland with heavy shelling and gun battles accruing casualties from both junta and Kachin forces. Vanquished Burmese troops surrendered to elite Kachin troops; battles rage across the region threatening major trade routes and pipelines and the media is still asleep at the wheel. At least Suu Kyi told a packed and bedazzled UK Parliament about the plight of the Kachin people. The ‘New Lies of Myanmar’ will undoubtedly have a field day with that revelation.

Burmese troops continue to terrorize and murder in usual flare, innocent civilians continue to be killed indiscriminately and not just in Kachinland. Nearly 80,000 internally displaced Jinghpaw people filled refugee centers months ago and the population continues to grow in yet another human tragedy. In spite of economic hardships in the region the impassioned **Chinese community of Myitkyina donated 20 million kyat (US$23,529) to help ease the suffering of the Kachin IDP’s in this noble gesture. For them, this saga is very real and unfolding before their eyes. This act of compassion says volumes about the fabric of the Chinese community in Kachinland and I applaud their efforts.

How much longer will the mainstream media continue to ignore the Kachinland War in Burma? Exactly how many people must be killed and infrastructure destroyed before the world responds to Burma’s ethnic cleansing of the Kachin people? The ink is not even dry on ***Shan State’s truce and Burmese troops continue to attack Shan troops and positions. ****The New Mon State Party is growing suspicious of Burma’s pseudo ceasefire and curious stipulations. What a contrast to this image of a new and improved Burma. It is as if the 2008 and the 2010 elections never happened for the Kachin, Shan, Mon, Rakhine and a host of other tribes who don’t get western media attention. In reality these elections were a sham anyway.

If ever there was a David and Goliath tale to be told it would have to be about the Kachin soldiers and their allies who continue to fend off hoards of well equipped and supplied Burmese troops loaded with aircraft, artillery and heavy armor. Biological and Chemical Weapons are used with impunity on civilian targets by the Nay Pyi Daw Cartel thugs. To the junta’s chagrin victory is hard fought and the very existence of the Jinghpaw people is a testament to the grit and determination of the KIO, KIA and their growing list of allies & supporters who oppose Burma’s eugenic aspirations against the Jinghpaw.  

Raw courage and absolute faith within their Christian belief system along with intensive training are key elements in achieving the impossible for Kachin soldiers. They are the true heroes of this ‘Secret War” in Southeast Asia for they are protecting their people from genocide plain and simple. The Kachin are not going to give up on their people and ancient homeland any time soon. No matter how many western mining companies are waiting in the wings to pounce on Kachinland’s natural resources the Kachin will fight to the last man or woman to protect their nation. Corporate interests would have been wise to side with the Kachin rather than thugs and rapists but like the ole saying goes; “Birds of a Feather Flock Together” and now we know where corporate loyalties lay.
