“Nakakabilib naman ang AFP,” says my friend, Mang Tonyo. ” Imagine, in today’s Inquirer headline, they predicted that the next target for the bombings would be Metro Manila. How ingenious. It’s either they’re manghuhulas or they’re friends of the terrorists.”
NCRCommand Chief Fojas and NCRPO Chief Rosales are one in placing the entire Metro Manila under full alert, as a “precautionary measure” against possible spillover bomb attacks. They even pinpointed the Congress and military camps as the next targets. Quite admirable, since, they already knew that terrorists walk the metropolis but they, as yet, found it quite difficult to arrest them. What’s the purpose of the anti-terror or Human Security Act?
Ah, I know. The act will be used against anti charter change rallyists. PNP Chief Director General Jesus Verzosa said that one or two days prior to the SONA, they will be conducting their own “sonas” or special clearing operations in areas near Congress and places where you’ll traditionally find rallyists coming from.
So, these bombings are really being used afterall as a ruse to justify a crackdown on anti charter change rallyists, not on those so-called terrorists roaming the Metro. For the Arroyo regime, the real terrorists are anti-charter change Filipinos who want nothing more than to prevent Congress from convening itself into a Constituent Assembly.
Ah, so then, this regime is using every trick in the martial law rulebook (as described by Makati mayor Jejomar Binay) just so that they can ram charter change down our throats. Ingenious. They’re preparing really for a showdown.
Are they also prepared to fight thousands of INCs who’ll populate the entire Congressional avenue against cha-cha? Are they willing to fight God’s people?
Is Gloria really ready to face thousands upon thousands of people who’ll march against her despotic regime should she continue her evil plan?
This administration is determined to use every trick possible, legal or unconstitutional, just so that charter change pushes thru. They’ll be using the military, once described by Defense secretary Gilbert Teodoro as a professional institution, into a personal fighting machine of this regime. They’ll use their power to force the people to accept something which they already expressed their opposition.
Patay kung patay, as what Jose de Venecia Jr. described the demeanor and thinking of palace hawks in 2007. Arroyo’s minions are determined to fight it out once the people move against the regime. They’re just afraid, says JDV, because their time of reckoning is fast approaching and they fear for the worst. So, predicted JDV and Binay, they’ll use state power to further repress and oppress the people.
Now that we know that these instabilities and peace and order problems are just part of the overall scheme to justify the use of state power, the question is–what are we going to do about it? Will we just sit on idly by and watch as these things unfold?
YES.
Let them do their thing. Let them plunge this country into total chaos. Let them plunder still our coffers. Let them intensify the oppression, the hunger, the repressive things and just push the envelope a little bit further.
I urge the Patriots–let them do their thing. In fact, come the SONA, let no one come near Congress or Malacanang to protest the convening of Congress into a Constituent Assembly.
Why?
God is a god of Justice. He sees all. Let them humiliate themselves before the eyes of the world. Let them alone bear the consequences of their illegal action. By the time that they’re finished, God will unleash His Army upon them and like what happened to the Philistines of old, fire will definitely consume them all. Some will be burned at the stake while others chained and imprisoned in the deepest pits and dungeons.

Shows us how incompetent some in the defence establishment are!
How do I read this remark?
There are a lot of generals, for sure. I don’t know if it is strictly a time in office deal, or how they earn them.

Pat,
Is your Mang Tonyo the anecdotal figure of recent memory?
This much is true. You can hold on to whatever ideological worldview you want but sometimes, one ought to undertake to unload his chronic biases first so that readers are not trapped into an ‘intellectual pit’.
The unstudied minds might believe you, in fact. But, how un-genius?
huh? Mang Tonyo is Tony Cruz, a former newspaper man and now, tambay. and please, what’s this intellectual pit you’re talking about? and can you explain to me what you meant when you say “un-genius”? Is there such a creature?
Hmmmm…
Pat,
In the meantime, wait till any of those series of events really unfold. In short, reserve judgment.
It is possible, there are those who choose to ‘hallucinate’ and imagine doomsday scenarios to their own peril.
Okey. Just sleep Primer.
Primer, sleep at your own peril.
By the way, you have’nt explained what an “unstudied mind” means? Or the “un-genius” or this “intellectual pit” you’re talking about.
Maybe all these describe you and your posts.
You sound like some kind of future Ayatollah.
By what authority do you presume to proclaim who and who are not “God’s people”, dude?
They know where the next IED bomb is; because they are the bombers
themselves. They dont look like “manghuhulas” to me. The 1,000 pesos
question is: Who is ordering the bombing? He or she must be a Monster, a Person without conscience. Killing people to advance your cause. Only a terrorist will do that.
If ‘intellectual pit’ is Point 1; ‘unstudied’ Point 2′ and ‘un-genius’ Point 3, then simply connect the dots.
If you see a straight line, then you understood it right. But if you see a crooked line, then you understood it wrong.
Now, you can follow my drift. In short, our worldviews while “theory-laden” (don’t ask me again what it means), must be trimmed of our own subjective biases.
It’s just that.
