Stupid Script

Look how stupid and idiotic our Philippine National Police is. They should improve their scripts.

Read the article below. It says that the police got an info about a terror plot to destabilize the rallies to be conducted by anti-Arroyo groups. PNP Spokesperson Nick Bartolome (a good friend, but nonetheless, sorry, I will not tolerate stupidity) said that the recovered document written in Arabic tells of a terror plot which includes rally dates etal. It also, says Bartolome, contains sensitive info as the schedule of the president.

Wow. That sounds pretty impressive. I bet that whoever wrote that document must have pretty good connections in the palace since even the routes and schedules of the very head of state (though a bogus one) were allegedly stated there. You know sir Bartolome, you must be very very concerned at this point and even the Presidential Security Group (PSG). Why, imagine, a state secret such as the president's schedule is now being leaked out of Malacanang for the benefit of terrorists? Why, that calls for not only the attention of local security agencies and intel groups; it calls for the help of the CIA, the M1 and all the rest of the intel community. There's a mole right at the palace! A thorough probe should be called by the PNP!

Calling for the State Department! Calling for the Institute of Strategic Studies in Singapore! We have a very serious problem in the Philippines and we need help! Terrorists have infiltrated the palace!

More than this though--that document, which Bartolome said was recovered from Luneta park, contained even dates of rallies to be launched by the militant anti-Arroyo. A double wow!!

That document is like something out of the movie "Back to the Future". Or it may be part of the lost writings of Nostradamus. Why? Well, that document was able to predict when and where these rally leaders intend to launch those mass actions. Having been an activist myself, dates of rallies are arbitrarily set by rally leaders. If Bartolome and the rest of the PNP are really intel experts, they know this for a fact! You can't predict what will happen in the future right? And all these things are compartamentalized. So, whoever says that one can actually predict a rally date is something out of the extraordinary.

So, I'm impressed, totally.

There's a Filipino saying that if you have something to defend, defend it at the Luneta. Well, Bartolome and his organization should probably tell it to the Marines there, protecting Rizal.

Mr. Bartolome, please don't waste your illustrious career trying to hide the flaws of this administration. You're a decorated and honorable officer. I know you since Erap's time to be honest and easy to work with. Don't be stupid to harp a very stupid script. People are not idiots. They know that you're just being used and its unfair to you.

Concern on the global fight against terror

I am very concerned about the anti-terror campaign here in the Philippines. Because of this political crisis and the continuing level of mistrust and distrust by the people about this government, it is affecting the way we fight these terrorists. Nobody believes that this government is doing good in the global terror fight. It is therefore, to the best interest of the Philippines to allow the fall of this regime because this government is like the boy who cried wolf. They are using the terror bogey to oppress legitimate political opposition which is not good. Its stupidity and very dangerous.

MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine National Police (PNP) on Friday said protest rallies in the metropolis are also target of the suspected foreign terrorists who were nabbed in the country in the last few weeks.

PNP spokesman Sr. Supt. Nicanor Bartolome told radio dzMM that the schedule of rallies were also found in a recovered document. The documents, which were recovered from a Manila park, was earlier described to contain only information on the routes taken by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and surveillance review of certain foreign embassies.

"Pati yung schedule ng ating Pangulo ay naapektuhan because of this information. At nakalagay din dun yung ibang mga listahan ng mga embahada at pati yung mga schedule ng ibang rallies ay nandun din. Kaya ipinapalagay ng ating mga operatiba na merong mga plano talaga itong mga grupo na ito na maghasik nga ng kaguluhan," Bartolome said.

At the same time, Bartolome said there were actually two foreign nationals who were apprehended, and not only one as earlier disclosed by PNP chief Dir. Gen. Avelino Razon, Jr.

"Na-i-announce na nga ito nung February 29 pa (na) may dalawang foreign nationals na nakuha. At na-link nga ito dun sa previous plans as stated dun sa mga dokumentong nakuha prior to their arrest," he said.

Bartolome, however, refused to give further details, including the nationality of the two foreigners, citing ongoing follow up operations.

Fending off allegations from militant groups and the opposition that the supposed "terror threat" was merely a scare tactic, Bartolome said: "Hindi ito isang form ng pananakot or warning. Ang sa amin ay ginagamit din namin ito upang sa ganun ay mapaganda pa namin yung preparasyon namin, yung mga security arrangements ma-improve pa namin, madagdagan at nang sa ganun ay lahat magkaroon ng seguridad."

Various groups have conducted and still plan to hold more mass demonstrations against the government after ZTE witness Rodolfo Lozada, Jr came out and linked First Gentleman Jose Miguel Arroyo in the controversial $329-million national broadband network project. - GMANews.TV
