Horsemen of Apocalypse 2007

DIE HARD III

The one great malady the GMA regime continuous to suffer and it fears it will eventually die from is the cancer of illegitimacy. GMA and cupporters hoped that unrelenting demonization of the legitimate president Estrada including the filing of spurious cases, would solve it but it hasn’t. It hoped it’s “victory” in 2004 would be the cure but it was exposed as quack medicine, fake and fraudulent. It has tried Cha-cha and it’s been rejected even before it could begin. Now Gloria is installing her Four Horsemen of the electoral Apocalypse hoping to finish off Philippine democracy once and for all.

Gloria and her supporters’ want to make the 2007 a “plebiscite” on her regime, you hear this too from Christian Monsod and Raul Concepcion of “One Voice” – the voices of the present Establishment. They are designing the 2007 elections to ensure that the “plebiscite” affirms GMA’s regime and the latest cabinet appointment to the Deped will help assure that: a shady but slick politician, co-accused of Fidel Ramos in the Centennial scam, author of one-too-many Land Bank tales of looting, amorous adventurer, ad nausea is named Deped secretary.

The new Deped secretary they are forcing down our public educators was a one time bra and panty salesman for the bankrupted company of “speedy Gonzales”. Those who know this character are wondering how such a morally decrepit congressman can be named to such a sacred task of molding of our nation’s youth– just ask that plump Metro-Manila congresswoman he had taken for a ride. By the way, ask Gloria too what she and this new Deped secretary did to the garments quota of Mindanao Textile when she was GTEB chief!

Jesli Lapus is the perfect man for the shady job Gloria want done, totally amoral and efficiently so. He’s so good that even opposition politicians support him and extol his many credentials, his masters and doctorates. That’s because he scratched everybody’s back while in the various government posts Ramos and Gloria entrusted him. In the Land Bank alone he pioneered a cattle fattening program that lost over half-a-billion pesos that fattened a few special bank accounts, and he anomalously lent billions of its agricultural loans to that restauranteur who promptly lost it in an abortive Subic mega-hotel project.

With the unscrupulous Lapus controlling the half-a-million department of education employees in two thousand towns and cities and 57,000 baranggays for the 2007 elections, while general Esperon command soldiers the soldiers supposed to “protect” and “transport” ballots, and notorious Sulo Hotel election operations mastermind Ronnie Puno control the police around the polling centers, and the infamous Comelec Chairman Abalos ensuring that the countless other Garci clones in Comelec operate – the Four Horsemen of the 2007 electoral Apocalypse are in place.

Ballot stuffing, switching, COC manufacturing, ballot box stealing will reign in 2007; but that would not be complete without the Namfrel, the Concepcion brothers and Gus Lagman (Abalos’ competitor in computer supply) doing “trending”. It’s Apocalype for Philippine democracy they are planning, its absolute destruction followed by eventual fascist suppression of all opposition to follow on the bases of the “plebiscite”– that Christian Monsod, the Concepcions and the Makati Business Club’s reign shall continue ‘til Kingdom Come.

The Deped career professional and truthful Fe Hidalgo, all career professionals and the hundreds of thousands of teachers and their mission no longer matter. The Deped is being pushed to the deep end for Gloria’s 2007 election Apocalypse. But the Deped employees have more respect for their mission are asking, “Why did we replace Erap for this Gloria? Erap appointed high level educators to the Deped post, like Bro. Andrew Gonzales of La Salle!” Never had the Deped had such a shady head as today under Gloria. They’re fighting back.

We must appreciate the larger picture: it’s a fight against the tentacles of the corporatocracy moving with Gloria for a final solution – “credible” legalization of Gloria and her oppressively pro-corporatocracy or plutocratic regime. They intend to silence Vox Populi, that found itself again in Estrada’s inauguration at Barsoain Church which continues to win its struggle to overcome the Edsa Dos lies. The Filipino nation must recognize and do what is imperative to save the nation, restore Vox Populi, restore its own voice and the voice of God.

Suppression of Vox Populi caused the Oakwood young officers to re-echo Bonifacio’s Cry of Balintawak. The fraudulent 2004 elections and suppression of Gen. Lim and company today will not silence it either. In fact, the next time it will really be bloody. So long as a decent Filipino lives the voice of the people will not be silenced, more Filipinos will echo it until the oppressor is vanquished and the ramparts of tyranny come down like the walls of Jericho. Let us raise the level of struggle in stopping Lapus from despoiling the Deped.

While we wage our struggle for justice here we can not help but raise our voice over the injustice Israel is committing against the civilian population of Palestine and Lebanon. The Zionists have become worse than Nazis. Three kidnapped Israeli soldiers does not justify genocide; besides Israel is holidng 10,000 Palestinian and Lebanese men, women and children. The U.S. shamelessly defends Israel because Jews control the U.S. Federal Reserve.
