Repost from @mohammedjamjoom- For anyone wondering how Myanmar’s military continues to avoid accountability – read this (from today’s New York Times):
“The Myanmar military controls an extensive business empire that enables it to avoid accountability and conduct operations with impunity against ethnic groups, contributing to widespread human rights abuses, according to a United Nations report released Monday.
A United Nations fact-finding mission urged foreign businesses and governments to sever ties with more than 140 companies owned or controlled by the military, which has carried out a campaign of ethnic cleansing, murder and rape of Rohingya Muslims.
‘The Myanmar armed forces are enabled in a very enhanced way to act outside of civilian control and therefore perpetuate their impunity in their involvement in gross human rights violations,’ Marzuki Darusman, the chairman of the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission on Myanmar and a former attorney general of Indonesia, said in an interview.”
Here’s more, from Reuters:
“The investigators identified at least 59 foreign companies with some form of commercial ties to the Myanmar military, including firms from France, Belgium, Switzerland, Hong Kong and China. Of those, 15 operate joint ventures with the two military conglomerates or their subsidiaries, the report said.
Calling for the imposition of an arms embargo on the country, the investigators also named 14 companies that have sold weapons and related equipment to security forces in the country since 2016, including state-owned entities in Israel, India, South Korea, and China.” .

ubanamie @thomas_sadoski I also didn’t know he sees himself as infallible... that’s disappointing to hear. It sounds silly typing it out, but in good will hunting they talk about the right books to read so I started there with manufacturing consent and about to start Howard Zinn’s the people’s history. So I’m new to this and exalting these people as I go which isn’t the best as I’m discovering. Thanks for taking the time to educate me! And for doing it kindly.

thomas_sadoski @ubanamie the same Noam Chomsky that refuses to acknowledge the genocide in Kosovo despite empirical evidence from countless news organizations, NGOs, governmental bodies and first hand testimony from survivors like @vcitaku and many, many others? Or the same Noam Chomsky that prefers to burn straw man arguments than repudiate Faurisson? It’s not just the NYT that one should be skeptical of.

ubanamie @thomas_sadoski the Faurrison thing he has spoke about saying he doesn’t agree with the mans views but agrees on his right to vocalize them. He says you can’t just support the speech you like and be for free speech.... that you have to protect the speech you don’t like for the exact same reason. Which that I can understand. Now I really am gonna look up Kosovo

thomas_sadoski @ubanamie Zinn is brilliant and valuable and, as he acknowledges in the preface, biased. It’s a bias that needs have voice but it is a bias. Chomsky is also brilliant and vital but...those blind spots are tricky. Worth looking into Sam Harris and his issues with Chomsky. Harris, also impressive and imperfect, is a much better counter point than I am

ubanamie @thomas_sadoski thank you 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Side note I really appreciate you work and what you share of your life... your love of the arts and family and caring about the world. I work in the industry, so much of it isn’t that way it’s refreshing to see. Both me and my boss @chriskattanofficial are big fans of yours and @mingey .

thomas_sadoski @ubanamie his thoughts on anarchism and a lot of his issue with American foreign policy are really tremendous and valuable and brilliant. But there are some serious blind spots there. If you listen to him, the man has never made a mistake. I am wildly skeptical of those kinds of people.
