Here you will find a brief overview of pantidates who have flung themselves into the Burmese junta’s trick election for 2010.<br /><br />If you see a pantidate that you like, someone who you would like to lobby for… well… just begin really. Sort out your panties…tell a friend or a neighbor…make a badge or a hat and wear it….have a panty party…organize an egg and spoon race…set up a postal vote stand at the nearest Burmese Embassy…start to collect people who will be ready to vote for your pantidate … it is not what you do, so much as that you do make a mockery of the junta’s mock elections…<br /><br />Please send any comments, photos, sketches or stories about your events, big or small either by post, email, joining on face book or Htwee us.<br /><br />New pantidate profiles will appear regularly along with LPP announcements, polls, bulletins and updates. However, if you can’t quite find that special pantidate you can relate to…or perhaps you fancy taking on the SPDC more directly…or maybe always wanted to try your pants at politics …well stand by …LPP will be taking applications for new pantidates in the coming months. In the meantime seek out your constituency…prepare your pantfolio….and plan to sign our pantifesto!<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz817BNLwNitOnbPYNFdJsitQARJG1AqwtPS-77V-KX2tzq_dL8Ghnkg5YNSqKDN9T5L8srRFajdG69qgfmVqofk9IWKlCjAcN4p3powaIXEKvAD_Mnz7BLo2wMVpD0V6mBXUZ9kxomN0Q/s1600-h/wwv.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 256px; height: 170px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgz817BNLwNitOnbPYNFdJsitQARJG1AqwtPS-77V-KX2tzq_dL8Ghnkg5YNSqKDN9T5L8srRFajdG69qgfmVqofk9IWKlCjAcN4p3powaIXEKvAD_Mnz7BLo2wMVpD0V6mBXUZ9kxomN0Q/s320/wwv.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384172026850798034" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Madam Panty (MP)</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br />The Right Honorable</span> <span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br />Wicked Witches V-string (W</span><span style="font-weight: bold;">WV)</span><br /><br />Founding Party Member and Top Drawer<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ethnicity: </span>Shan Witch, Burma<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Education: </span>WWV learned to harness and direct her powers at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry: Jungle Campus, where she graduated with Doctorate in Witchcraft: Thesis “Flight and Fight” <br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Political background and history:</span> Since graduating MP WWV has become a decorated veteran campaigner with more medals than Than Shwe festooned about her khaki knickers. WWV’s credentials are impeccable. Behind Than Shwe’s back and sometimes under his nose she has used her sorcery to remove the all the amulets he has had placed inside many of Burma’s pagodas. She showed a little of her true strength in the high profile removal of his ruby and umbrella from the Danok Pagoda earlier this year.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Signature Issue: </span>Relief from passing bad gas… MP WWV will free Burma and her neighbors from all the suffering bought about by years of offensive gas.

She prefers to live life under the covers, tucked within the shadow of the junta, only coming out to take a swipe at the Generals or perhaps to do a little bit of shopping. MP Panties Galore is a destructive element from way back, who feels no one can break too many rules or have too many panties.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Signature Issue:</span> Sport and Recreation. MP Panties Galore plans to secure the 2012 Olympics for Burma. With the generals out of the way Nay Pyi Taw will make the perfect Olympic Village.

MP Cutie Panty stretches her elastic across the generations. While keeping her aunties happy, she will create space, both virtual and real, for student protests, rappers, graffiti, rock, indy, comedy, hip hop and all the other expression of a youthful and alive Burma.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Key Role in LPP Seven Day Road Map:</span> Illegitimate FTA agreements and Special Cross Border Economic Zones made by SPDC will be revoked for re-consideration by the legitimate leaders.

She takes her political instruction from Mother Nature using the earth’s gifts of mushrooms, weeds, flowers and plants the hills of Burma provide to wage her own brand of homeopathic herbal warfare. MP Shin Gwan Danni Zargi Htwee is just the panacea Burma needs.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Career Highlights: </span>Giving Than Shwe nightmares, tinea and head lice when he attended the 2003 opening of the National Poison Control Centre. Being congratulated by Than Shwe when attending the 8th Myanmar Traditional Medicine Practitioners Conference, Yangon 2007 and passing him the duel terror of bad diarrhoea and an explosive cough. Adding a few extras to Thandar’s stolen emergency biscuits, May 2008. Baking and serving a special mushroom pie for Kyiang Kyiang 15th March 2008.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Signature Issue: Health. </span>MP Shin Gwan Danni Zargi Htwee has experience in both herbal warfare and herbal wellness and can implement either as needed. In her seven days of power will ensure there will be herbs in every health center. After that she asks fellow potion lovers to meet her at the Burma - Tibeten border for nature study, collection and the freeing of Tibet.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853314824554542653.post-57243928729534908762010-03-16T15:34:00.002+07:002010-03-16T15:39:38.668+07:00Re-application for registration of LAB Panty PartyMr Thein Soe,<br />Deputy Chief Justice of the Supreme Court<br />Union Electoral Commission<br />Myanmar<br /><br />On the 18th September 2009, we, the LAB Panty Party successfully applied for the registration as a political party under Part 4 of the LAB Electoral Act 2009 and State Law and Order Restoration Council Law No. 4/88.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Re-application for registration of LAB Panty Party </span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">We now have re-applied under the LAB Electoral Act 2009 to humour the State Peace and Development Council Law No. 2/2010 Chapter 5, Article 25: Parties registered under the Political Parties Registration Law No.4/88 shall apply to the Commission within 60 days if they wish to continue as a political party.

I will keep a firm grip on it…an iron hand in a rubber glove!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">PNN</span>: Will you allow International Erection Observers?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Than Shwe</span>: Well of course Barking Mad and Gumball--<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">PNN</span>: Do you mean Ban Ki Moon and Gambari.?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Than Shwe</span>: Yes, yes, that’s them… they are pleading to be allowed to watch. I am so popular I get emails offering help for my erection difficulties from all over the world every day. However I think the little woman, my wife, Kyiang Kyiang, has been waiting for this day a long time. She is a keen observer of erections so the honor should go to her. We don’t need any foreign help with this.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">PNN</span>: We heard you asked that people “refrain from smear campaigns and avoid personal attacks”. Anything in particular concerning you?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Than Shwe</span>: Well when I was a young lad at school I was involved in an erection that got out of control. The teasing can be terrible you know if one’s erection isn’t yet well-formed. I want to avoid that.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">PNN</span>: And the “smear campaigns”?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Than Shwe</span>: Well some idiot NGO was talking about running a PAP smear campaign for women…how is a man supposed to have a successful erection with those kind of smear campaigns going on! Women’s health can wait till I’ve had my big erection!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">PNN</span>: Speaking of women, we have heard that Lanna Action for Burma would like to play a part in holding your erection. How would you feel about that?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Than Shwe</span>: I’m no prude…any group who wishes to carry out some mature party orgyanizing work…will have my blessing.

These intensified after the student-led pro-democracy uprising in 1988. In addition to crimes suffered by all, the regime practices systematic rape and other forms of sexual, physical and emotional violence against the women of Burma.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">The current humanitarian crisis affecting the population of Burma today is a product of more than 20 years of gross neglect and human rights abuses. The new crisis began as a natural disaster but quickly became a man-made catastrophe.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">Once again the horrible aftermath of Cyclone Nargis has exposed the corruption and tyranny of Burma’s military regime for all the world to see.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">Once again we stand together full of sorrow and anger …</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;">Once again we refuse to be helpless… powerless…silenced…<br />Your involvement in The Panties for Peace campaign is needed now more than ever: While the world dithers about “Responsibility to Protect,” also known as R2P… let the women of the world lead with R2PP, the “Right to Post Panties.” Our fury has grown and Burma’s military rulers are in a weakened state and thus vulnerable to the power that they attribute to our underpants. If this is the power they believe we have, then this is the power we will use against them.<br />You will be sending your panties as a clear message to the military junta and also sending donations directly to help the people of Burma affected by Cyclone Nargis. All donations will be sent to groups on the Thai Burma border who are working with victims of the humanitarian crisis inside Burma. We believe that at this time, it is the only way to ensure that assistance is provided both independently and directly to the people.<br />We women of Burma need the support of women around the world. Your commitment to endorse this important and therapeutic campaign on our behalf gives hope, courage and triumph to the women of Burma at the time when we need it most.<br />Again thank you to all of you for your help and solidarity.</p><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Panties Power Campaign<br />Lanna Action for Burma</strong></p> </div> </div>read more: <a href="http://pantiesforpeace.ca">http://pantiesforpeace.ca</a><br /><strong></strong></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2853314824554542653.post-57572652361713839242008-05-19T16:22:00.006+07:002008-05-19T17:04:48.120+07:00Friends of Burma: Music festival and Public Forum for Nargis disaster relief in Burma<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://lannaactionforburma.googlepages.com/Burmarposter.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

Last birthday, February 2006, Than Shwe was awarded third place in the “World’s 10 Worst Dictators” list. This year <st1:place st="on"><st1:country-region st="on">Burma</st1:country-region></st1:place> supporters around the world are gathering to make sure Than Shwe has an Unhappy Bad Day, rather than a Happy Birthday. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Every year, Than Shwe marks his birthday by giving alms to some monks. This year he may not find any monks who are willing to come for this farcical birthday ceremony. He believes that, even he has been a bad boy all his life, he can cheat fate by making merit and using “Yadayachay”. Yadayachay involves holding ceremonies that supposedly trick the gods into believing something has already come to pass. For example a fake funeral will be held to ward off death. The Generals of Burma try to use Yadayachay to avoid the consequences of their sins but the extent of their wrongdoings has eclipsed all the powers of any Yadayachay ceremony. Time has run out for Than Shwe. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">A well respected fortune teller has foreseen that within 2008, “Than Shwe will face a threat to his wealth and personal security from a trusted person or a group.” Where will the betrayal of Than Shwe begin? A reliable military source says that Light Infantry Division 66 (LTD 66) is his most trusted Division. <span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">“Although we know an end of Than Shwe’s power is so very close we still would like to mark this day.

Today, as the people of <st1:country-region st="on">Burma</st1:country-region> and the international community, wait expectantly for democratic reforms in <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Burma</st1:place></st1:country-region>, she is still kept prisoner in her house.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Following UN Special Envoy Ibrahim Gambari’s mission to <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Burma</st1:place></st1:country-region>, the military junta has appointed an officer, Mr Aung Kyi, to start dialogue with the opposition. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi said in a statement read out by Gambari in Singapore that “In the interest of the nation, I stand ready to cooperate with the government in order to make this process of dialogue a success”<span style=""> </span>She said that for meaningful dialogue she needed to consult not only her political party but also the ethnic peoples of Burma.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">On Friday, the junta allowed her to meet with three senior members of her party, the National League for Democracy. This is the first time she has been allowed to meet with members of her party in the last three years. Afterwards she met again with the mediator, Mr Aung Kyi and she said that it is time for the “healing process” to start.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">We call on ASEAN leaders to urge the Burmese regime to start the healing process by freeing Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and all political prisoners. Genuine dialogue is not possible while Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and many of the leaders of the opposition are held behind prison walls, including the moral opposition, the monks and nuns.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;">The UN has called on the military junta to “create the necessary conditions, for a genuine dialogue” with Aung San Suu Kyi. This month, <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Indonesia</st1:place></st1:country-region> holds the rotating presidency of the UN Security Council. According to<span style="" lang="EN-GB"> a recent news report Indonesia’s president, Mr Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, has written a personal letter to Senior General Than Shwe urging the military government to immediately open dialogue with the opposition and to speed up the process of democratisation and to hold talks with Aung San Suu Kyi. We trust that <st1:country-region st="on"><st1:place st="on">Indonesia</st1:place></st1:country-region> will continue this position both at the ASEAN Summit and within the UN Security

'Panty' Demonstration Held in Rangoon; Anti-junta Pamphlets<a href="http://www.irrawaddy.org/article.php?art_id=9262">The Irrawaddy<br /></a>Posters Distributed By Wai Moe<br />November 8, 2007<br /><br />About 40 people held a brief "panty" protest in downtown Rangoon on Thursday, holding pictures of junta Snr-Gen Than Shwe’s covered by panties, according to an 88 Generation Students member.<br /><br />The demonstration took place on Bo Aung Kyaw Street in the commercial district of the city, a witness said.<br /><br />“When security forces arrived, the protesters had already gone,” he told The Irrawaddy.<br />Since late October, international activists have launched a "panties campaign" against the Burmese military government, playing off the superstition of leading generals who are said to fear being touched by women.<br /><br />Sources in Rangoon said a new activist group called the Generation Wave has been distributing anti-junta pamphlets and posters in different areas of the city.<br /><br />On Wednesday, anti-junta slogans appeared on walls in several neighborhoods, said a Rangoon resident.<br /><br />The abbreviations, CNG (Change New Government) and FFF (Freedom From Fear) have been spray painted on walls.<br /><br />According to one witness, “Protestors also wrote on walls that evil people who kill monks must die.”<br /><br />Young people also distributed anti-junta pamphlets in Thamine in Mayangone Township in Rangoon. On Tuesday in Sanchaung Township in Rangoon, copies of state-run-newspapers were burned in protest, according to another source, who said there were also small protests on city trains when people shouted out that people who kill monks must die.<br /><br />A member of the 88 Generation Students group told The Irrawaddy on Thursday that demonstrations may resume if the junta fails to resolve the current crisis.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.irrawaddy.org/article.php?art_id=9262">http://www.irrawaddy.org/article.php?art_id=9262</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com
