July 1, 2010 Movement--it is time.

Our verse for today is a fact of life. In Luke 8:17 it says:

"For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open."

People in the know, people who partied with the spoils of the previous regime, are preparing for war. Yes, the Supreme Court has given them the moral and legal weapon against those truth-seekers who want nothing but their incarceration and destruction. 


As I was informed, these people will be using the Law against the law abiders. They will try to create so much noise to defend the existing ruling of the Supreme Court in the Truth Commission not just to destabilize this administration, but moreso, to protect their sore asses.


And yes, they have the entire Filipino People to fool, but, unfortunately for them, the Truth Seekers abound in these lands. There will be no travesty of justice in this one.  


Yesterday, the July 1, 2010 Movement was launched. General Danny Lim, a good friend and a co-founder of the Young Officers Union (YOU), led the mass-based campaign. 


The movement, launched in Club Filipino, aims to encourage Filipinos to come out of their shells and expose the nefarious past activities of the previous dispensation.


General Lim described the Arroyos not as an "endangered" species as what we, the Filipinos would want to think, but as a "dangerous" species. 


Dangerous because the tentacles of the previous regime still are very much entrenched in the bureaucracy. Many of the Arroyo's most trusted lieutenants and generals still sit in highly sensitive posts in government. Many are still loyal to the previous regime and are, according to sources, still cleansing their files of filth. 


Dangerous because even within the dark alleys of Malacanang, these men of dubious mold still exert a great influence over the decisions of the State. 


These "reformed" men even of the Cloth still make their cases before the New Powers, and some, nay, most of them, sing halleluyahs before the Aquinos but continue to make money out of their political associations.


Since the Supreme Court has automatically debilitated or strung the hands of the Aquino administration, nay, tied it tightly in such a humiliating manner as use the Equal Protection clause to justify their immoral judgment, it is now up to the Filipino People to do what is necessary to get justice.


Ah, justice, justice is such a sweet name.


Lim encourage truth tellers to expose what they know about the previous regime. Get those documents. Get those grafters. Haul them off to court. Or, if the Courts refused to hear the People, then, let the Patriots of the New Generation get them this time.


I call upon the Old Sparrows, those whose Patriotism are as solid as their clinched fists.


It is time. Time for them to create History.


Those who have oppressed the People, those who enjoyed the perks of Power during all these nine years, know this:

"Are not two sparrows sold for a cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered." Matthew 10:29-30

July 18 quake prediction a political gimmick

(This is a picture of the devastation caused by an 8 magnitude earthquake in San Francisco California in 1906

Why the 8 magnitude earthquake prediction in RP is a fake? And why do people believe it?

First, the author of the email has impeccable timing. It was sent right after a 7.2 magnitude quake in Japan which killed 13 people. Previous to this, a 7.9 magnitude quake killed thousands in China and rendered thousands more homeless.

Here, we are experiencing between 4 to 5.3 magnitude quakes, almost everyday since last week. Being proximate to both China and Japan, people would definitely make a connexion. If a quake hit our neighbours, the possibility of being hit ourselves by a similarly strong or stronger earthquake is there, since we’re also one of those countries located in the Pacific ring of fire.

This fatalistic thinking is being compounded by our recent experience with Typhoon Frank, which left thousands of people dead and rendered thousands more homeless. Scenes of devastation of the China and Japan quake plus the Typhoon Frank disaster still resonate in our minds. And of course, we’re experiencing weekly personal financial tremors what with rising oil and food process. Millions of people are feeling panicky and uncertain about the future. Many people are feeling insecure. Those deathly scenes on primetime news are not helping people cope with both natural and man-made disasters.

Obviously, the prediction is a fake (see http://pinoyobserver.wordpress.com). It’s an invention. But why choose an earthquake as an event to happen in this date, July 18?

Obviously, the authors of this email chose that date because it’s similar with the date of the 8 magnitude quake which rocked San Francisco California way back in 1906—April 18. Of course, they adjusted it to July 18 so that its more recent and we’ll feel threatened and vulnerable.

The purpose of this fakery? Well, its quite nasty and a little criminal. Obviously, they want to add fuel to the confusion and feeling of insecurity of Filipinos. They are feeding the fear of people. But why? Why do this?

July 18 happens to be ten (10) days before the State of the Nation address of Philippine president Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo. By creating a scenario of fear, people will approach this SONA with utter trepidation and uncertainty. Nonetheless, it can work in both ways.

A fearful nation come July 28 could be exploited by Gloria to introduce self-serving suggestions such as the Noah's Ark proposal or a cha-cha? Surely, no one would question this since it could be perceived as a bitter pill to swallow. People would even, probably praise Gloria for rising up to the occasion.

Or, it could be that the people are so heated up at that time that they support a revolt leading to the eventual ouster of Gloria from Malacanang. Whatever the motivation is--whether political or otherwise--it smacks of a malicious intent. It's malicious and dangerous, to say the least.
