February 2 1933 --------------------- “Than Shwe’s time spent in psychological warfare may or may not have represented the utilization of genuine psychological strategies, he has proved expert at using divide-and-rule tactics, successfully capitalizing on splits in the armed opposition groups, as well as creating fake democracy groups in an attempt to usurp the popularity of Burma’s legitimate democratic struggle. Whether or not Than Shwe developed a facility for using such tactics as a psychological warfare staff member, he certainly would have learned these tactics from decades of observing Burma’s previous dictator, Ne Win, in action.” Excerpt From: Rogers, Benedict. “Than Shwe.” Silkworm Books. iBooks.
