Hi, everybody. It's James here.

If you don't listen to it could happen here, you might not recognize me.

My name's James Stout, and I am the guy who pops onto this feed every few months to tell you something very sad and then ask for your money.

And that's why I'm here today.

A terrible earthquake struck Myanmar today, the day I'm recording this, which is Friday

the 28th of March. It was 7.7 on the Richter scale. We know of more than 100 deaths, but it's

likely the death toll is much, much, much higher. Lots of the telegraph and internet infrastructure

has been taken out by the earthquake, and the

hunter restricts internet and social media access.

So we don't really know the full extent of the death, but we can imagine it will be very high

as one of the areas most effective was Mandalay, which is the second largest city in Myanmar.

I've spoken to half a dozen sources in Myanmar today, people who Robert and I have

interviewed before. They're all okay, but they all shared how terrible things were. They said

things were as bad as they were at the time of Cyclonegous, which was a terrible disaster in 2008.

If you would like to support the people of Burma who are currently fighting against tyrannical dictatorship,

as well as dealing with the consequences of this natural disaster, there are a couple of ways you can do so.

I was actually already running a fundraiser on my Patreon for MobyA PDF.

They are a casualty evacuation team in Southern Shan State right at the fiercest part of the

fighting right now. They don't fight. What they do is they go and they evacuate people who have been

injured and they provide medical services to internally displace people. They've been doing this

since 2021. They're incredibly brave people and they've saved more than 300 lives. You can read
