SLORC

The State law and Order Restoration Council, aka SLORC, is the name that the Burmese junta calls itself. It is so perfectly fascist it even sounds fascist. It sounds like Golum's brother, who is named, in turn, for the bilious slime that covers him.

Except that it's deadly serious. Monks and the best and brightest of Burma's citizens are being slain in the streets and monasteries and torture suites because they hold a vision for a better country, in which brute intimidation, despotism, greed, and corruption don't govern. Where SLORC doesn't rule.

God bless the dissidents. Power to the people of Burma.
