The Chill of Silence.

The silence is chilling. The body count is rising. Militants and journalists are being killed one at a time.

From a post in another anti-Arroyo blog:


You know why there is no national, and popular outrage for this killings? Because we
couldn’t care less for these militants who have done nothing but incite the people to rebellion no matter who sits in Malacanang. It’s disturbing that I found out for myself that many people that I know supported the idea of systematic liquidation of militants. Bayan Muna and other legal fronts of the CPP-NPA has done nothing but abuse and squander the democratic space accorded to them. Nakakatawa pakinggan (It's funny) because these people are anything but democratic. I should know, having been UP-bred, they brainwash people with their romanticized versions of revolutions. Hindi nila alam (They dont know) that people die, families get broken. How dare them call for human rights abuses and remain silent on the use of child warriors of the CPP-NPA, the extortion rackets of companies, and the murders committed by their parties. SAGUTIN NGA NINYO TO?! BAT TAHIMIK ANG BAYAN MUNA, etc, SA MGA KASAMAAN NG NPA??? (Answer this?! Why is Bayan Muna silent about NPA's atrocities??)I never voted for Gloria, but suffering under Gloria is infinitely better than suffering under the cabal of Communists, Political Opportunists and a league of Media na walang alam sa Etika ng tamang pamamahayag (Media that doesnt know Journalistic Ethics). NAKAKAHIYA ANG MEDIA SA PILIPINAS. (Philippine Media is shameful) Sa tingin nyo, pinaniniwalaan pa rin ng tao ang mga Obispo ng Simbahang Katoliko, kagaya ng mga punyetang pari na yan na nakikisawsaw sa pulitika? (Do you think, people still believe the Catholic Bishops, like those stupid priests who meddle in politics?)NOT ANYMORE. Kaming middle-class ang parating kawawa sa mga kagaguhan ng mga napaka-insensitive na mga leftists na habang nagrarali sila sa Ayala, pinaglalakad kami ng malayo para makapunta sa mga opisina namin. (We, the middle class, bears the brunt of your insensitive demonstrations in Ayala Avenue, when we have to walk far just to get to our work.)Pag nagkagulo, kami ang kawawa, kasi karamihan sa amin, no work, no pay. (If there's trouble, it's us who suffer, because most of us dont get paid when there's no work.) Hindi kagaya ng mga rallyista na yan na bayaran ng mga international donor organizations.(Not unlike those rallyists who are well-funded by international donor organizations.) Oo, hindi perpekto si Gloria. (Gloria is not perfect.) Ilagay na rin nating nandaya siya. (Let's even say she cheated during the last elections.)Bakit? Ang Bayan Muna ba hindi nakikisosyo sa mga NPA para sa Permit To Campaign nung huling eleksyon? Bat hindi imbestigahan yan? (Why? Didnt Bayan Muna conspired with the NPA for the illegal Permits to Campaign during last elections? Why it wasnt being investigated?) Ngayon nasan ang Media? Nasan ang Human Rights? Nasan ang mga punyetang pari? Nasan si Escudero??? WALA! (Where is the Media? Where is the Human Rights? Where are the priests? Where is Cong. Escudero??? Nowhere!!)It’s really irritating to see Imee Marcos and Crispin Beltran together on TV. Pati ang NPA, bayaran din ang mga hayup na yan. Kung magaling sila, eh di sana pinatay na nila si Imelda nun pa! (Even the NPA are paid hacks. If they are so good, why cant they assassinate Imelda Marcos?) Eh makita ko nga si Marcos sa Greenbelt, sarap na itulak o saksakin eh. Puro kayo pahirap. (I even saw Marcos in Greenbelt and I wanted to shove or stab her. All of you are just the same).Dagdagan nyo pa ng media na walang kakwenta kwenta.(Add a useless media). Why cant Bayan Muna with its extensive network instead promote job and wealth generation among the communities they supposedly serve instead of fomenting class conflicts? Kasi po, nasa ideolohiya na yan ng mga makakaliwa (Because it's all rooted in their ideology)- Educate (Brainwash)- Agitate (Rally) - Revolutionize. Kaya takot ang mga leftist na yan sa National ID kasi malalaman kung sino ang mga masamang loob. Imbes maging isang huwarang mamamayan, itutumba na lang kung sino nasa pwesto.( That's why, leftists are scared of the National ID, because people will know who are enemies of the state and of the people. Instead of being responsible citizens, all they do is overthrow the sitting government.

MAGISING NA KAYO! Hindi kami nagbabayad ng buwis para ialsa ang kilikili ng Bayan Muna, etc. (Wake Up!, We don't pay taxes to see the armpits of Bayan Muna).YOU ARE PAID TO LEGISLATE!Patuloy pa ring dadanak ang dugo at wag na kayong magtaka na wala pa ring pakialam sa inyo. Magalit na ang magalit sa post na to. Pero sana buksan nyo ang makikitid na kaisipan. Kung totoo kayo sa pagbabago at pag-unlad ng ating bansa, makinig kayo sa katahimikan ng totoong mayorya. Maawa kayo sa mga anak nyo at magiging apo nyo. (Blood will continue to spill, and dont even wonder why the people are apathetic to your cause. I don't care who gets angry with this post. Open your minds. If you want true and positive change and national progress, listen to the deafening silence of the real maority. Have mercy on your kids and your kids' kids.)
