For fear of possible reprisals since this site already exposed the nefarious Oplan August Moon before, there is an on-going plan by this administration to compromise democracy and endanger the Republic. This plan already started and will culminate in what I call "September Mourn."
A document has leaked out and is now in the hands of people who truly love democracy. This document, which will be out very soon in another site, details this administration's plan to implement a palace coup to derail the 2010 elections.
The plan allegedly involves an escalation of fighting between government troops and rebels in Mindanao, the possible arrest of Leftist personalities and the implementation of emergency rule under the pretext of anti-terrorism.
A high-ranking member of the Presidential Security Group (PSG) is said to lead this military action and is reportedly working behind the scenes to implement the plan. Some sources, including those in the media, identified this person as General Prestoza, although this site is still confirming this information.
PNP chief Jesus Versoza will reportedly be replaced, according to this document, by former NCRPO Geary Barias. Barias is said to be very close to the First Gentleman Mike Arroyo. Barias is said to have been tasked to enforce a full militarization of Metro Manila by September. Barias is not a member of PMA Class 1978 but is said to have very strong links with the First Family.
At this point, the anti-coup task force of the palace which is the NCRPO command is under alert for possible counter-maneuvers by opposing forces who want to restore and keep democracy alive in this country.
This plan is reportedly not in accordance with the agreed points between Mrs. Arroyo and US President Barack Obama. Obama has been very specific and blunt with Mrs. Arroyo on the issue of term extensions. However, sources say, Mrs. Arroyo feels threatened by the threat of imprisonment by her political opponents. That justifies the palace coup. A statement has already been prepared to explain the implementation of this plan and will be coursed through Philippine Ambassador to Washington Willy Gaa, as what the document says.
This internal document was leaked by a sympathetic staffer of the palace, according to those who now has this document under possession. More information will be published soon.

Who benefits from Philippine elections?
Only half of the expected 2 million Filipinos registered as new voters, says the Commission on Elections. As of June 2009, the total number of Filipino registered voters stand at only 44 million, down by about 4 million. COMELEC expects the number of registered voters to about 49.5 million before May 2010.
I also received distressing news that overseas Filipinos have not registered themselves yet. Only about 220,000 have registered. There is an estimated 10 million Filipinos working abroad and this is dismally low. What is the problem?
Are Filipinos giving up on elections as a democratic way to change things? Are they expressing their silent dissent that these elections are just a mockery of democracy and like always, nothing will change even if they register and vote come May 2010?
Many people whom I talked to express their disappointment with our democratic process. They said that nothing will ever change in this nation of 90 million Filipinos. And I can't blame them.
For the past twenty years after the 1986 EDSA Revolution, with more than ten elections participated in by the people, was there any real, substantial change in the way we do things? There is none.
The poor gets poorer and hungrier by the day, while the rich becomes richer by the minute. Grafters like Jocjoc Bolante still roam the hotels, coffee shops and streets of Manila while the likes of Legacy owner Celso delos Angeles and that Sulpicio Lines owner remain outside the reach of Justice.
Those road contractors who amassed billions of pesos enjoy their steaks while big-time operators have their field day buying properties left and right, using those hard earned taxes paid by the people.
Food, oil and electricity prices have started to strain the pockets of the middle class. The high costs of tuition fees are getting on the nerves of parents. Telecommunications companies, particularly Globe Telecommunications, act like tyrants and brutes, even blaming their subscribers for their vanishing pre-paid loads.
For all of these things, the poorer sectors of our society continue to get the brunt end of the bargain. They are the ones being victimized by VAT. They are the ones being asked to pay additional taxes. And they are the ones who are always blamed by the middle class whenever someone like a big-time gambler and womanizer wins the presidency.
In all of these, the elites are sure beneficiaries of democracy. They scot around the law whenever they are being accused of violating them. They get billions from public coffers. They swim in a pool filled with gems and jewels, while their farmers and feudal peons work the fields to harvest sugarcane.
They act like they're the leaders of this country, telling the people what to say, think and do. Every other three or six years, they go around town, urging people to vote just so that these people forget all their hardships and sufferings and take part in this charade called democracy.
Who are the prime leaders of this call for elections? Analyze and observe, my people. They are those who benefitted from public monies paid by us. They are part of the elite class who use elections as a social heroin and a pretext that we are in a democracy instead of a plutocracy. They are members of civil society who are part of the counter-elite, the social conscience of this despicable class. They don't want us to revolt. They don't want an authentic revolution here. They are the stooge of the ruling class. They are a big part of this decrepit system of virtual slavery. Through this thing called elections, the down-trodded and the poor, the disfranchised and the sufferers, the penniless and the powerless all continue their sorry stories of oppression and poverty. Elections are Greek tragedies that are used as bait to further enslave the huge mass of Filipinos.

Bloggers should protect Philippine democracy
Today marks our Independence Day. More than a century ago, our forefathers struggled against foreign colonization. Now, we fight a government that perpetuates oppression and aggression against the majority of our people.
Yes, we can say that we are free. The freedoms and rights that we so enjoy today were only part of the dreams of our forefathers. Hence, as a tribute to their sacrifices, let us always remember to cherish and treasure these freedoms.
That's why it is our responsibility to preserve and protect these freedoms and rights now being threatened by a group of oligarchs who lust for more power. These oligarchs led by Mrs. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo wants to snatch these freedoms away from us and throw us back to the dark days of dictatorship. No. Never.
Twenty years we suffered under the grip of a tyrant whose ambition for greatness destroyed his soul. Now, we face a shrewd one, a devilish snake who, I likened to a pipe piper, ready to slay us with her sweet words.
Our future depends on all of us. If we allow this creeping dictatorship to again enslave us, then, we are worst than those Filipinos of days past who helped colonizers in raping and killing their fellow Filipinos.
And the onus of again, rising up to the challenge of these times, rest on us, online Filipinos. It is time for us to show to the world that we are not slacktivists. That it is time for Filipinos to stand up and be physically counted when the time comes for us to take action.
