A Time For Small Men

The time of the Small Men has arrived. The Great Men are in retreat and the Small Men have advanced and taken the Kingdom. They wield the power and placed the Great Men and their following on their knees. I have written about the Great Men and Small Men in the past.

Like vultures and parasites, the Small Men will feed upon the body politic, bleed the Kingdom (government) dry.

This is the time for Scavengers, Foragers, Thieves, Looters and Humiliators, Castigators, Vengadores, Executioners, Murderers, Throne Grabbers. It is the time of the Mad and ill-intentioned people working for the Nobles and Lords will turn against their Masters.

Take the case of the Philippine Air Lines, just last month, 25 pilots of the airline resigned! The pilots left nary a clue as to what they were about to do. The mass exodus of the most important manpower segment of an airline caused serious flight cancellations and passenger backlogs.

This was nothing to their employees' union that even rejoiced over the hardships their employer, the Philippine Air Lines had to go through. The tremendous amount of money spent by precision companies like airlines, have been thrown down the drain by the pilots. PAL spends millions of pesos for the training and mastery of just one single pilot.

Surely, the airlines will post heavy losses over this action of its own people. But that is a bitter pill that the airline has to swallow on its own. Something as painful as that cannot be borne by devious Small Men.

True to form, the reign of the Small Men will wreak havoc in the Kingdom. With them traipsing around the Realm, everything will go haywire. When there are Troubles, expect the governance of the Small Men to become doubly strong, albeit unwieldy but forceful and strong!

We can expect more Troubles for companies already having disputes with Small Men under their payroll. Certainly, PAL will get more blows, backstabbing, batting and suffer embarrassment from the Small Men.

What it can do is to prepare for the worst, because the Small Men have their backing in the highest places. Whether PAL likes it or not, the Season of the Small Men now overshadows the Great Man and his Loyal Nobles and subjects.

This will ultimately mean, that if PAL is not braced to accept the hits and double whammies it will be getting from the Small Men, it will surely be shocked by what is about to happen.

Right now the entire country is in a state of shock and stupefaction. When this will wear off, will be the Time that the Small Men are prepared to make their get-away, bringing to their secret hideouts all the Loot and Valuables their Thievery and Criminal acts have produced.

Then the world turns full circle and the Great Men will reign again for their appointed tenure in the great Scheme of Things.

Who Bombed Batasan?

Batasan Bombing Unsolveable Case?

No one knows why batasan was bombed with the exception of the PNP, or perhaps the military saying that it was a deliberate exercise to kill Rep. Wahab Akbar.

 

Wahab is a real Abu Sayyaf member, albeit ranking officer, but who did not show his true colors to everyone.

Remember Commander Robot? He wasn't really a real kumander in the true sense. He was probably fronting for Wahab; Robot or Ghalib Andang, was a lowly driver of Wahab. He was an errand boy. When he strutted like a general of the Abu Sayyaf, it was because he had the confidence of someone in the organization that was really powerful and had the nerve. Robot himself was spineless. God rest his soul, but he was merely meant to be a simple pawn. Whoever made Robot's name very popular and whoever painted him to be an important personage in the terrorist Abu Sarap, was lying to the teeth.

So now if Wahab was Abu Sayyaf, then he has sins and debts to pay to certain people he owed. Some of these, in the literal sense, were debts in blood.

Aside from that, he had the political enemies in his province to deal with. One of the clans with whom he was mortally in conflict with was the clan of Mujib Hataman. Mujib's brother, Benji is the most ferocious opponent of Wahab. Benji would go through lengths just to get Wahab's place in Basilan politics. He cannot.

Even as he is the son-in-law of grand old man of Mindanao politics, Simeon Datumanong, Benji just cannot defeat Wahab. Imagine how frustrating that is!

Aside from Benji an all the people to whom he owed blood debts to, there may have been others that would want Wahab dead.

But a bomb in Batasan would not have been the means with which those to whom Wahab owed debts to, even in blood, would have killed him.

There is therefore something sinister in the way Batasan was bombed. If as they claim, Marines within or out of active service that had gripes against Wahab for the murder and decapitation of their comrades are the perpetrators, again a bomb would not be the proper means of destroying and finally eliminating Wahab. There are other means. A stab of a knife, a gunshot, any other way of exterminating the man, except a bomb.

The public is the ultimate target of the bombing of Batasan. We are being terrorized. The perpetratrors wish to accomplish the objective of desentisization. So far, no one wishes to admit that the Glorietta affair is a similar event. Whether it was meant to be the forerunner of the Batasan bombing, we will never know now, would we?

The final answer will be revealed when the last hurrah of the enemies of Madame Gloria Arroyo will be made. Specially if the enemies of Arroyo will succeed, someone or some group will eventually make claim to the fact that they would not have achieved victory if they had not bombed Glorietta and killed a number of innocent people, or had they not destroyed Batasan and killed several there with a powerful bomb.



 


I chanced upon this website, www.pcaph.org. They have this statement called:

 

URGENT CALL FOR CHANGE

 

The time for change is now.   The recent electoral exercise has once again shown that the old system is in shambles.  Democracy via the electoral process-Philippine style no longer works.  Prior to the May elections we stated that Elections 2007 is not the answer (log in to:  pcaph.org).  Many wanted to give this latest election another chance.  But events before, during and after the elections have shown that indeed elections in the Philippines is no longer the answer to our problems, especially to hunger and poverty.

 

Even if the GO senatorial candidates all win, they have no program to address our serious concerns.  All they want is to win.  A mere "change of court".  So they too can be in power. And partake of the spoils that 'come with electoral victory - a chance to continue the plunder of our natural and national resources.  But they have no concrete plans as to how to respond to the massive hunger and poverty, to the thousands leaving for foreign shores, to the national breakdown of morality and Christian values, to the hopelessness and despair creeping around the nation.

 

The same can be said for the TU administration bets.  Their way of addressing the national human disaster that we have become is to stay in power, even beyond 2010,  through a resurrected "Con Ass" once they gain the majority in both Houses of Congress assured through the use of state machineries and facilities resulting in blatant and syndicated cheating, fraud, bribery and killings in this last election.  Then they too can go on with the rape and plunder of our national resources and treasures while our country and our people are increasingly sucked in a deadly whirlpool of hunger and poverty caused by the crimes and treason of our national leaders.

 

Thus the time for change is now. But it must be a change for the right reason.  Our forefathers have admonished us that "the people have a right to revolt when their leaders no longer serve the welfare of such people".  Serving the welfare of our people means liberating them from hunger and poverty through the repudiation of our national debt and setting aside our WTO policies that have wrought havoc on our industries and our economy.  It further means stopp ing the emerging threat from new foreign masters subtly encroaching on the very ownership and possession of our lands but the use of which we may forever lose due to the insatiable greed of our leaders who are currently selling out our patrimony.

 

This is the kind of radical change we are calling for.  We do not revolt because a popular senatorial candidate no matter how popular he is does not win or is cheated in an election,.  We do not engage in bloodshed because a deposed leader who remains criminally charged wants to come back.  We revolt because of injustice and oppression, because of intolerable and massive hunger and poverty, because of the treason and crimes against our country and people by our leaders.  Then revolution is justified and becomes a must.

e The Pardon of Estrada

Does Jose Marcelo Ejercito really need to be pardoned?

 

In an interview today, October 24, 2007 over GMA 7, Atty. Adel Tamano said that it doesn't mean that since we asked for pardon, we recognize her as a legitimate president.

If anything else, that is an oxymoron.  We may not be students or practitioners of law, but that really wrenches the gut.

In the first place, Ejercito, or also known as Joseph Estrada or Erap, is not even a legitimately elected president.  In 1998 just after the presidential elections, according to the late Joey Rufino, Executive Director of Lakas, and that was many many years before he died, due to the clandestine acts of his patron -- the incumbent President Fidel V. Ramos who was at the same time Chair of Lakas NUCD, Jose de Venecia, the entire Lakas political party, did not receive decent support.

It was the "boss's magic", says Rufino. We were all taken again, he said.

It was just a one-on-one talk at the Intercon and no one was sitting beside us despite that all the gang of coffee drinkers were there. The table was separated by arm's length from the long mess-type favorite furniture of the members of the Club 386 of old.

Joey (rest his soul) knew Joel (rest his soul, too) and I never bullshitted him. I presume, he was telling me the truth. So I pressed on. What is this magic all about? (aware that it was Estrada, not JDV who won in the presidential race.)

He continued:  Erap was the chosen one of boss. See, when every one of the presidentiables strived to arrive early during the presidential on-the-job seminar, they were surprised to find Erap already there!

Apparently, Erap was not the early riser, he must have even slept beside FVR the nights the other presidentiables always were told to go home while Erap remained.

No longer provided by Joey, it was learned about two years after from the slip of the tongue of a former participant in a closely guarded act, when the day of reckoning came, two days before the 1998 elections, untold billions of pesos were delivered by a general, a colonel heading a public works office and a gaming corporation female manager nestled in roxas blvd to the camp of Erap.

Hence the byron hotel and other satellite hotel operations, similar to the sulo hotel operations of 1992.

Erap however was a sigurista, said the source.  He still had to ask 800 millions of pesos from kuratong baleleng and other criminal syndicates through ping lacson and sulbalterns.

So Erap really became a president.  The role, this one according to Joey, of Erap's Kuya, New York-based Dr. Ejercito, was very crucial.  He was the one who wrung the arm of compadre Eddie Ramos to make Erap the successor, not JDV.

What was the beef of Dr. Ejercito against JDV? Joey said, surveys. JDV would never show up in the surveys. It was Erap who was always in the lead.

But surveys are nothing, I told Joey R. Joey says, but FVR believed in them. Amen.

The problem with the Dr. Ejercito-FVR deal, someone said, was that it was good only for 3 years. Erap would have to step down.

Then about 14-15 days after Erap took his oath as the newly minted President in Malolos, Bulacan, Dr. Ejercito was suddenly dead.  So the arrangement, the gentleman's agreement meant nada.

Then and Now Erap claimed he owned at least eleven million supporters who voted for him.  But at the cost of how many billions for FVR?  And at the expense of JDV, the second in command of FVR in Lakas and his very loyal follower!

Is it not that as early as 1995, the backroom talks between FVR and Erap, FPJ through the sister, Sen. Leticia Shahani, were already happening and JDV was so incensed at Manang Letty that they almost did not see eye to eye in Lakas functions?  And in the 2004 elections, Manang Letty supported FPJ?

And where was Manang Letty during the 1998 elections?  Possibly with Lakas but JDV managed to sideline her there.  Would she have campaigned instead for Erap and helped FVR maneuver for Erap's win in places where she had influence?  People like Angel Zaldivar, Ben de Leon, Apolinario Lozada, Jr., Eduardo Arroyo, and others, may have secretly campaign against JDV even if it was against their wishes.  Manang Letty would have appeared to be under instructions to make Erap win at all costs.  Unfortunately, she had a breaking I am told with the people of Erap after the 1998 elections because she was not made Secretary of the Department of Education.

How dirty our Philippine politics is!

And now, the fake president, who did not want to step down and instead embraced a mutiny of the Armed Forces and the PNP, the staged walk-out of Senators, and the people power at Edsa and later jail because of his shenanigans and deep involvement in the gambling scandal, the criminal and drug syndicates' operations, wants pardon.

In the first place, he should never have nurtured the ambition to be president, for after all, as his own aide in the Palace would complain, he never did any work as president. He spent his nights drinking, gambling, quarrelling with everyone - including engaging in fisticuffs with supposed best friend FPJ over spilled wine and getting a busted lower lip in the process - and signing papers without thinking so he could placate his private donors, 99% of them with short surnames and who said behind his back, kay ramos wala pila; kay cory wala kita; dito na tayo kay irap, lagi dami kita, pila, pila, pila dami!

And that was how Erap sold the country to the dogs.

So who says that Erap deserves pardon?  And where is Adel Tamano coming from when he says that GMA is an illegitimate president?  When it is his own client who never deserved to be president at all?

Businessmen here and abroad have echoed their support of the stand that a pardon for Erap will be counterproductive.

Flaminiano's threat that the country will rise up in anger if Estrada is sent to Muntinlupa jail, is hollow.  Perhaps they should go back to the purveyors of the surveys of knight in shining armor Erap and blame that crowd and call them incorrigible lesbians. Because no 11 million will rise up against Erap.

In fact, during the supposed Edsa III conflagration at the gates of Malacanang, where OB Vans of GMA 7 (this is not an ad), among others, were burned by the supposed crazed rallyists, not 11 million came.

Only a few persuasively and druggedly recruited addicts and criminals, istambays, vendors, and other types of hoodlums were there in small strength.  Never 11 million.  Maybe a few thousands, but not even close to a hundred thousand.  See?

Estrada does not deserve to be pardoned.

First, he and Kuya deprived JDV of being president by stealing the presidency.  From 1995, to 1998, his brother did his utmost best to pressure FVR.

Second, he and his special operations team cheated their way in the 1998 elections.

Third, he robbed the country of billions and gave away more billions to short-surnamed freaks over the RPS Ang Pangulo, at the Guest House in Malacanang and other drinking venues.

Fourth, he deprived a lot of decent businessmen good business with both government and private contracts that needed executive blessing.

Fifth, he let criminality soar to an all time sky high record.

Sixth, his government became an adjunct of the Triad syndicate of China. Up to this time, the Triad has kept its level of operations intact with Erap and other contaminated people still wielding a lot of power in Senate and Congress, the executive branch, the PNP, AFP, NBI, Customs, Immigration, the National Corrections Bureau and now PDEA (Benjie Magalong and company) and other agencies.

Seventh, by making Lacson, Villar and Jamby Madrigal among his most favorite pets, among other loyalists, he created monsters in our society.

These and many other crimes, told and untold, bespeak of the reasons behind why Erap should never be pardoned.

Every single Filipino, here or outside of the country, deserves to know each one of these reasons and more.

Our neighbors abroad should be told as well.

If after all Erap is forgiven, then GMA is a complete fool, and nothing else besides.

Perilous Jobs

The position of certain persons even in legitimate organizations or agencies of the private sector, government, church and sectoral groups, sad to say are dangerous.

Dangerous, in these times, until they come to grips with the realpolitik of their membership in both aboveground or underground organizations.

In this day and age when all attention is riveted towards the menace of terrorism, certain organizations and their methods become paramount in the minds of those who prepare the orders of battle in the military, the police, the country's prime investigateive agencies and the nation's front lines of defense, namely: customs, immigration, border security and organs that safeguard the country from economic, environmental and other forms of sabotage.

Thus groups like the Communist Party of the Philippines, that has links with as many terrorist organizations from Asean to the Middle East, to Europe and Africa, as well as the Moro National Liberation Front that has strong links with the Juma'a Abbu Sayyap and the multitudinous breakaway groups of both organizations and their officers and members, would be the first to become the subjects in the order of battle.

The ultra-rightist threat groups that have recently shown they cooperated with the Communist Party of the Philippines will necessarily also be part of the order of battle.

Needless to mention, those teetering at the edges of these points in the political spectrum, who are also actively networking with the ultra-left and ultra-right, might also find themselves in the order of battle, regardless if in the past they have opportunistically agreed to be the songbirds either of Isafp or Nica chiefs, as in the case purportedly, of Ms. Corazon Soliman and her husband, Hector -- during the time of Mrs. Corazon Aquino in Malacañang.

Such is the misfortune of certain jobs held by members of the several and various organizations now fiddling with terrorism.

It is not of course the jobs that imperil the lives of these persons who are tinkering with dangerous plots. But in the propaganda mills, it sounds like indeed the jobs are truly dangerous and full of hazards.

What is it really like to be part of the Inquirer News Service, for instance and be a member of the Communist Party?

What is it to be a junior level executive of ABS CBN and to be also another member of the Communist Party, for short also known as CPP?

What is actually perilous in being part of a Sectoral Party that competes in Philipine elections, but to be an adjunct of a Special Committee for Parliamentary Struggle of the Communist Party?

What does it pay to be a simple employee or an engineer and on the other hand, to be a propagandist of the MAGDALO-TAONG BAYAN AT KAWAL?

What is it to be a leader of a daily news organization and to be a lead propaganda arm of the overthrow GMA movement, as well as be part of a coup plotters' group?

What is it to be simple leaders of NGOs and be secret accomplices of bombers-terrorists calling themselves MAGDALO-TAONG BAYAN AT KAWAL (also referred to as TABAK)?

What is it to be a call center employee and be the contact of Muslim Terrorists being aided by CPP?

Finally, what is it to be a businessman, big or small, or a politician - neophyte or seasoned - but to be the funder of the CPP and a follower of Be Not Afraid Movement, that is also said to be behind MAGDALO and TABAK, and several other groups like Kaakbay, Pilipinismo, and has been supplying logistics for a group called Black and White Movement, Citizens Congress for Truth, etc.?

Again, there is really nothing wrong with the job.

It is simply the black propaganda at work. The enemies of the state have gotten so low, that in purveying the lies about the country's sliding to Martial Law (with them making provocation after provocation), and all such other crappy campaigns, they have assailed the very sanctity of the simple stations of citizens meant for earning a decent living.

They have also introduced the community organizers' adversarial and confrontational tactics of pambabastos or euphemistically known as pressure tactics against "targets" in the hallowed halls of Congress and the Senate.

The recent example is the supposedly silent waving of white envelopes. The anti-Arroyo groups claim, it is the easiest way of getting rid of pro-administration Reps in the Session Hall. Good humor, that, but very sick indeed.

In the coming days, there will be more antics by the enemies of the state.
Many of them below the belt. It is obviously the very essence of demonization, disinformation, destabilization and fostering of discontent-demoralization.

The problem, is that they have introduced too much pollutants into the political atmosphere that they have truly made their very own jobs hazardous.

As in the wise, old men's saying in this country:

Pag marami ka nang inaagrabyado, sumisikip na ang mundo mo.

Amen to that!

Listen to the People's Voice

Sometimes, in this country, for peace and progress to really happen, and Her Excellency's plans to push through, the highest leader of the land should listen to the pulse on the ground and not take everything she hears from her own cordon sanitaire.

Your Excellency's own people speak:  remove the enemies of the administration from government and LTA. Flush their accomplices out, too.

Especially if they are pro Erap in the first place.

The Quaint Impeachers

Someone from the group that filed the impeachment said, she does not like and had never liked or will ever like the Marcos family but she admires Ms. Imee Marcos for being part of the Impeachment.

It will take a long time, it seems for the Philippines to get over with the impeachment.  The enemies of government are using the case to put a stop, with finality, to the Constitutional Amendments campaign of Pres. Arroyo.

Congresswoman Riza Baraquel made a solemn promise during her speech about her No Vote against the Justice Committee Report, that she and her group will ensure that Constitutional Amendments will not happen in the country.

The Kieh and the Thun Diagrams

The Great and the Small Men

By Fuqueng Warrior

 

In the ancient China of my friend's forebears, nature, the environment is important in making a proper and enlightening assessment for a King of the Empire.

 

Among the means for making an assessment, is the use of the hexagrams of the I Ching.  It is a highly idea oriented and nature-based tool for making assessment.

 

By making use of the environment all around human society, it makes use of a peculiar manner of weaving and employing parallelisms, analogies that properly fit the occasion.

 

One of the I Ching's perculiarities is in the description of a good King and his enemies.  A scrupulous, disciplined, righteous and uncorrupt King, is usually called in the I Ching, as one of the great or superior men, the lead superior man with a following of equally good and principled lieutenants.

 

On the other hand, the corrupt, unprincipled and unscrupulous ones are called the small men.

 

 

KIEH HEXAGRAM

 

In the state that is indicated by the Kieh diagram, the advantage will be found in the Southwest. If no further operations are necessary, there will be good fortune in coming back to the old conditions.  If some operations need to be done, there will be good fortune in the undertaking them early.

 

One will not commit error.

 

There will be hunting, three foxes, and obtaining the yellow (read : golden) arrows. With firm correctness there will be good fortune.

 

There is a porter with his burden, momentarily riding in a carriage. He will merely tempt robbers to attack him. However firm and correct he may try to be, there will be a cause for regret.

 

'Remove your toes. Friends will then come, between you and whom there will be mutual confidence.

 

The superior man (read: The Ruler), executing his / her function of removing whatever is injurious to the idea of the hexagram, in which case there will he good fortune, and confidence in him will be shown even by the small men.

 

Finally, there will be a prince with his bow, he is shooting at a falcon on the top of a high wall, and hitting it.  The effect of his action will be in every way advantageous.

 

THUN HEXAGRAM

Thun indicates successful progress. To a small extent it will still be advantageous to be firm and correct.

 

Retiring tail. The position is perilous. No movement in any direction should be made.

 

Holding one's purpose fast as if by a thong made from the hide of a yellow ox, which cannot be broken.

 

One retiring but bound -- to his distress and peril. If he were to deal with his binders as in nourishing a servant or concubine, it would be fortunate for him.

 

Retiring notwithstanding his real preference and determination. In a superior man this will lead to good fortune; a small man cannot attain to this.

 

Retiring in an admirable way.  With firm correctness there will be good fortune.

 

Retiring in a noble way.  It will be advantageous in every respect.

 

 

The ancient Chinese are wont to say, when the  SMALL MEN  get their way with things.  In Confucius'  belief, in their time, they were pretty convinced that not all the leaders are good and not all leaders govern as true leaders would or could.  (There is however nothing by way of an aside, or an exact statement, that says whether all leaders have the capacity for good, or that leaders that are good could turn bad, and vice versa.)

 

People that are unscrupulous, evil and corrupt, are called SMALL MEN.  They also have their occasions to rule.  At the opportune time, they create enormous trouble and grab the power from the GREAT MEN or SUPERIOR MEN.

 

The GREAT or SUPERIOR MEN obviously will be the sworn enemy of the SMALL MEN --  because they are exact opposite  --- and proceed to plunder, lay waste and wretched the  society we live in.  This is a very radical departure from the sociology though, that we learn about in school.

 

This ancient kind of philosophy however, is very eye-opening revelation in many ways.  For indeed, didn't we have that mustachioed president who thrived on slapstick but did the most heinous things -- guaranteed privacy by his cordon sanitaire?  We struggled against that.  Raged and so did we overcome.

 

Then, the  SMALL MEN  bide their time and now, today, they think that it is the high tide and they shall sail for the capital.

 

If they sense and smell weakness, they will grab that opportunity to prop up their weaponry, their armies and ride in boats and in chariots and make a push toward the location of the SUPERIOR MEN in a Caravan.  When they reach the Great City, they the  SMALL MEN  will endeavor to dislodge the GREAT MEN and succeeding therein, will henceforth bring back barbarity into society once again.

 

Those amongst our communities then, who merely flow with the cycle, certainly will do nothing.  There are those who do not wish to be in a chaotic situation though, and with their sit-by-the-fence attitude, they usually just wake up that they are getting to be towed around by the SMALL MEN.

 

I am not even sure where I stand now.  (But most certainly, I will not prefer to be in the auspices of the THUN when superior men retreat in the face of the SMALL MEN.  If I had a choice, I would however, be happy to be in the auspices of the KIEH wherein I will take part in removing the menace of the SMALL MEN from the Kingdom.)

 

But back when the mustachioed idiot was President and yet was being bashed at every turn, I even tried to court sympathy for the bastard.  Until I realized that it was clearly difficult, even if I was under the employ of the Government, to be on the side of the SMALL MEN.

 

For heaven's sake, to make things easier to swallow, they even offered me to be an Undersecretary even at that my age during that time (although by then I was already of qualifying age, by Civil Service and uniformed service standards)!

 

But I refused!  Even as the SMALL MEN  were very adamant about the offer, I stood my ground.  They raised their voices, showed contempt for him, still I refused.

 

It was war.  War against the  SMALL MEN.   War against everything they stood for.  War against them for placing our country in the pits.  In the quagmire.  The  SMALL MEN   had by then become the instant  Overlord  of the men and women behind dangerous drugs and substances, the Kuratong Balelengs, the illegal gambling geniuses like Atong Ang, illegal loggers and kidnapping for ransom gangs, among so many other criminal  minded  groups.

 

A  classic  representative  of  the  SMALL MEN  was  a lady who up to now is happily moving in the high circles.  She is also a familiar face at a University on Taft Ave.  During the reign of the SMALL MEN   she claimed she was extremely close to the mustachioed leader that she could go his bedrom anytime -- even when he was asleep.  Lady says, she could wake the leader if the amount of collections she was offering was worth it.  She was obviously not only the dinner conference, weddings, baptism, etc. facilitator but also the collections facilitator of the leader.

 

She waited on a pretty lady and her beau for the sake of leader.  Lady and beau kept an office in a plush subdivision.  But beau, only happened to be one of the most wanted, most notorious men in Malaysia.  Moreover, the pretty miss and her beau were expectant parents of huge construction projects to be awarded by the leader to them.  Still, on the side, under the cool shade of their construction company, they managed to grab a young girl in Ilocos named Jacky and managed to kill her by accident or intent.

 

So now  you understand why it had to be War.  (It was the beginning of the auspices of a KIEH condition.)

 

Even if you had to brush elbows with thieves whom you would see ascend to the Palace gaily participating in the insane contest for the spoils of War…

 

That is why, whatever they say now, it will be the words of the  SMALL MEN   against those of the GREAT MEN.  I shall gladly defend the latter.  To the death.

 

Especially under the proper auspices of the KIEH conditions, were it possible.  And it appears so, now.

 


 

 

 

Description of the Kieh Hexagram

 

Kieh is the symbol of loosening, or unraveling a knot or resolving a complication; and as the name of this hexagram, it denotes a condition in which the obstruction and difficulty indicated by the preceding Kieh have been removed.

 

The objective of the philosopher author here is to show, as if from the lines of the figure, how this new and better state of the kingdom is to be dealt with.  In the Thwan of Kien for 'the advantage to be found in the Southwest.' If further active operations are not necessary to complete the subjugation of the country, the sooner that stability is restored, the better. The new masters of the kingdom should not be anxious to change all the old manners and ways.  Let them do, as the in historical China, the Duke of Kâu actually did do with the subjugated people of Shang.  If further operations therefore are necessary, let them be carried through without delay.  Nothing is said in the Thwan about the discountenancing and removal of small men, -- unworthy ministers or officers; but that subject appears in more! than one of the lines.

 

There is a weak line, instead of a strong, in the first place; but this is compensated for by its strong correlate in 4.

 

A scholar Kû Hsî says he does not understand the symbolism under line 2.  The place is even, but the line itself is strong; the strength therefore is modified or tempered.  And 2 is the correlate of the ruler in 5.  We are to look to its subject therefore for a minister striving to realise the idea of the hexagram, and pacify the subdued kingdom.  He becomes a hunter, and disposes of unworthy men, represented by 'the three foxes.'  He also gets the yellow arrows, the instruments used in war or in hunting, whose colour is 'correct,' and whose form is 'straight.'  His firm correctness will be good.

 

Line 3 is weak, when it should be strong; and occupying, as it does, the topmost place of the lower trigram, it suggests the symbolism of a porter in a carriage. People will say, 'How did he get there? The things cannot be his own.' And robbers will attack and plunder him. The subject of the line cannot protect himself, nor accomplish anything good.

 

What is said on the fourth line appears in the form of an address to its subject. The line is strong in an even place, and 1, its correlate, is weak in an odd place. Such a union will not be productive of good. In the symbolism 1 becomes the toe of the subject of 4. How the friend or friends, who are to come to him on the removal of this toe, are represented, I do not perceive.

 

Line 5 is weak in an odd place; but the place is that of the ruler, to whom it belongs to perfect the idea of the hexagram by removing all that is contrary to the peace and good order of the kingdom. It will be his duty to remove especially all the small men represented by the divided lines, which he can do with the help of his strong correlate in 2. Then even the small men will change their ways, and repair to him.

 

Line 6 is the highest line in the figure, but not the place of the ruler. Hence it appears as occupied by a Duke, who carries out the idea of the figure against small men, according to the symbolism employed.

 

Description of the Thun Hexagram

 

A retiring tail seems to suggest the idea of the subject of the lines hurrying away, which would only aggravate the evil and danger within the period in question.

 

'His purpose' in line 2nd line is the purpose to retreat.  The weak 2nd line responds correctly to the strong 5th line, and both are central.  The purpose therefore is symbolled as in the text.  The 'yellow' colour of the ox is introduced because of its being 'correct,' and of a piece with the central place of the line.

 

Line 3 has no proper correlate in 6 and its subject allows himself to be entangled and impeded by the subjects of the 1st and 2nd line. He is too familiar with them, and they presume, and fetter his movements;--compare Analects, 17. 25.  He should keep them at a distance.

 

Line 4 has a correlate in line 1, and is free to exercise the decision belonging to its subject. The line is the first in Khien, symbolic of strength.

 

In the Shû IV, v, Section 2. 9, the worthy Î Yin is made to say, 'The minister will not for favour or gain continue in an office whose work is done;' and the Khang-hsî editors refer to his words as an illustration of what is said on line 5. It has its correlate in the 2nd line, and its subject carries out the purpose to retire 'in an admirable way.'

 

Line 6 is strong, and with no correlate to detain it in the 3rd line. Its subject vigorously and happily carries out the idea of the hexagram.

A very serious caution to Madame Arroyo

Caution, Madam President


What is the president doing having these people in her administration:

Kirk Galanza, very Boy Morales and Erap man

Dir. Arnold Querijero, closely associates with strongly anti-GMA people.

Bernie Ferrer, a factotum of Boy Morales -- was helped by Galanza to get inside DAR after being booted out of Presidental Anti Poverty Commission.  His factotum (probably more than one) was / were only also recently removed from the OP but are complaining bitterly.  The nerve of the enemy!

Danny Consomido, another Erap and Boy Morales man.

Selected top officials of Department of Environment and Natural Resources --- brods of Boy Morales.

Unidentified employee, PMS, OP --- leaked your schedules to the communists and the FPJ campaign group in 2004.  Has she been found yet?

Unidentified employee, LTA Towers --- has been leaking vital secrets from LTA and communications from the Palace also to the communists who have resolved to subject you to physical harm and are working closely with the rebel military (who are confidently saying, the end is near for you) and the other enemies of this government.

Too many of them Madame President are inside your administration.  They hold very important and sensitive positions.  While your loyalists are languishing outside the government.

Spying on your administration's most important secrets are the least that these people could do to serve their masters.  The worst is helping start the coup d' etat from within and in the end, having you possibly physically dealt with.

Remember the taped Garcillano cell phone conversations!

Remember also, that the cry of the enemies of the government is, to not let you leave the government without a very serious case against you!

Why not take out people like these and bring in your loyalists!!!

This will be the beginning of the end of destabilization!  Imagine this Madame President:  After having been together with Erap, they have earned their keep already and should now be removed from office.

Your best redeeming act will be to stop the corruption in the processing of appointments at PMS.and allow the best and most loyal to shine in your administration!!!

Terrorism and Destabilizers

Someone says that the Jesus  is  Lord  Movement  of  Brother  Eduardo  Villanueva  a/k/a Bro.  Eddie  and  some selected personalities purporting to be from Iglesia  ni  Cristo  (INC)  are  going to posibly reach  an agreement and combine  their  forces  to  fight  GMA.  On the other hand, enemies of the people want to soil the reputation of Speaker  Jose De  Venecia  and  Secretaries Eduardo Ermita and Angelo Reyes  (a godson of Ms. Dinky Soliman),  by disseminating the information as far and wide as possible, that the three officials are  both  speaking  with  the  same  groups  and  seeking  to  have  a  "fall  back"  position  and  "back-up"  once  they  would  supposedly  be  "forced"  to  finally  make  a  break  with  Pres. GMA  when  the  situation  worsens.  There are talks that three  prominent  individuals  /  families  allegedly  are  now  the ones bankrolling the  destabilization  of the country:

 

Two of the prominent individuals / families' surnames begin with a G while the third begins with an L.  Both the first and third have an interest in telecom and the second surname with a G is in the plastics business.  He is also close to the Black and White Movement through known figures also in the business community based in Makati.  However, it was also bruited about that the next in line will be an individual / family with surname beginning with an M.

 

Neither JDV  nor ATR  will  ever  be  visibly  intent  in changing  their horses midstream  and  abandon  Pres.  Arroyo  then  side  with  the  the  forces  of  destabilization.  Some  of  the  people  who  respect  them  however  are  now  with  the  other  side.  This  does  not  mean  that  these  people, whose lives they touched and have joined the oust GMA movement, will be able to carry them to the other camp.  That might even happen in reverse, considering the talent of JDV.  We  note here for the record that  JDV  is  one  of  those  who  helped  ex-Pres.  Ramos and  Sec.  Jose  Almonte  so  that  they  could  grant a/k/a Bro. Eddie his  own  television  station.  The  subject  TV  station,  is  now  in  the  hands  of  GMA  Channel  7.  As  a  result  of  this  merger,  the  owner  of  Channel  7  has  instructed  everyone  working  in  that  station  that  no  negative  comments  or  criticisms  against  neither  JIL  nor  Bro.  Eddie  will  be  uttered  in  Gma  Channel  7  or  in  the  renamed  Channel  11  QTV  (formerly  Zoe  TV).  The  first  G_____s  have  been  supporters  of  the  destabilization  forces  due  to  Sen.  Ping  and  eventually,  also  due  to  Sen.  M.  The  L__s  on  the  other  hand,  owe  almost  their  very  lives  and  survival  to  ex-Pres.  Cory Aquino,  who  gave  them  back  their  companies  after the EDSA Revolt.

 

Once the money is in, there will be purportedly, a series of threatened bombings.  Some bombs will be made to actually detonate, Bato Bato sa Langit ang Tamaan...  well, unfortunately for them, according to the enemies of Pres. Arroyo.

 

Both Mindanao and Metro Manila are targets.  It would not happen were it not for the money being shelled out by the abovesaid wealthy persons.

So What's Jarque Harping About?

After the Magdalo Siege of the Oakwood International Hotel-Apartments failed desperately, the communists in the country announced that they were wholly open to accept defectors from the armed forces and the police, among other armed services possibly like the coast guard and NBI, etc.

The CPP and the NPA have always been proud of military and police officers and enlisted men defecting to their ranks. They show these in press conferences, in photo galleries and include these events in their other propaganda campaigns all over the country where they have rebel "fronts".

Retired BGen Ray Jarque, running away from cases left and right of him defected to the CPP-NPA. He became like a guinea pig paraded in so many places by the communists. The AFP General who loves the communists. The General whose love for communists was so great he joined them.  He trained a large number of young people to kill soldiers and ordinary civilians who did not agree with the hardened communists.

Then unfortunately for him, the communists were declared a foreign terrorist organization by world leaders because of overwhelming documentary evidence that they had ordered mass executions, individual assassinations for money or favor, extortions, bombings, laying of anti-personnel mines and other explosive booby traps as well as engage in so many other anti-people acts.

These had qualified their status as real terrorists.

Jarque made motions of "going back to the fold of the law".  He styled himself as only a consultant when he started showing himself to the public.

The he became ambitious.  He determined to go to the U.S.  And he did.  Jarque landed in the U.S. at an airport in Dallas and was identified as a member of the terrorist CPP-NPA. Then he was blocked from entering the mainland at the airport and detained prior to his deportation back to the Philippines. Like any other terrorist. Well, he deserved it.

So now, what is he harping about?

He ought to have been deported to hell.

Here's an example of communist propaganda published in bulatlat com.


AFP Officers Who Crossed the Bridge

Last July 27, nearly 300 soldiers, including 70 junior officers, staged a mutiny in Makati, declaring withdrawal of support from the Armed Forces of the Philippines? chain of command and demanding the resignation of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, AFP chief Angelo Reyes and Intelligence chief Victor Corpus. The military rebels are not however the first officers of the AFP to do so. In fact, Corpus himself gained fame for defying the military establishment in the 1970s ? just like the mutineers. He was among those who left the AFP and crossed over to the other side. Others were: AFP Inspector General Danilo Vizmanos, Lt. Crispin Tagamolila, and Gen. Raymundo Jarque.

BY ALEXANDER MARTIN REMOLLINO
Bulatlat.com

Victor Corpus Corpus was a cadet at the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) when he was first exposed to politics. It was the late 1960s. Demonstrations were rocking the country, and their influence was seeping through the walls of even the PMA, a school that should expectedly be one of the last --if ever--to be influenced by any wave of protest politics.

At the PMA, Corpus led in forming a Social Studies Club, which devoted itself to discussions on social issues. Later on, he and his friends found a way to coordinate and cooperate with activists at the University of the Philippines, with whom he and other PMA cadets influenced by progressive politics participated in teach-ins and even demonstrations.

He graduated from the PMA with honors, and got himself assigned to the Philippine Constabulary. Shortly before the declaration of martial law, Corpus joined the New People's Army (NPA).  He would return to the fold of the military in 1976 through a staged capture.


Corpus was granted amnesty by Corazon Aquino in 1986, after his release from prison. He was also reinstated into the AFP.


In the late 1980s, he blew the whistle on the destabilization attempts by the Honasan clique against the Aquino administration. Honasan and other military rebel leaders had tried to enlist him in their plots.


He also wrote a book called "Silent War," which contains suggestions on how to defeat the revolutionary movement.


Aside from this, he was rarely heard of until 2001, when Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo appointed him chief of the Intelligence Service of the AFP or ISAFP.


Danilo Vizmanos


It is said that former navy captain Danilo Vizmanos is the first military official to go over to the other side of the political fence.


Vizmanos takes pride in having descended from fighters of the 1896 Revolution. According to him, these forebears of his influenced him in a progressive manner.


After the Second World War, he enrolled at the US Merchant Marine Academy, where National Security Adviser Roilo Golez also studied. He graduated in December 1950.


He took part in anti-insurgency operations of the AFP and was later assigned as aide-decamp to the flag officer in command of the navy. He was even sent to Vietnam to check on the Philippine Civic action group, the contribution of the Philippines to the Vietnam War. He became a navy captain in 1971.


As he went up the military ladder, Vizmanos saw the rampant corruption in the Philippine Navy -- something which, incidentally, one of the leaders of the siege in Makati wrote about in two research papers as a masteral student of public administration in UP.

Together with the intrigues among high-ranking officials, this brought him to disillusionment and led him to view the military establishment through an increasingly critical eye. He was also influenced by the views of nationalist statesman Claro M. Recto.


In 1971, as a student of the National Defense College, he wrote a thesis criticizing RP-US relations and proposing the establishment of diplomatic ties with China, then under the leadership of communist revolutionary Mao Zedong.  A journalist friend published an article about his thesis in an afternoon newspaper. He was subsequently subjected to harassment by his superiors. This increased his disillusionment.


In the last months of his military career, Vizmanos frequently spoke in demonstrations, fora and teach-ins against RP-US relations and the Marcos regime. When martial law was declared, he immediately filed his retirement papers.


But martial law did not let him off the hook. He was arrested and heavily tortured.


He is now a main figure of the Samahan ng mga ex-Detainees Laban sa Detensyon at para sa Amnestiya. He continues to be critical of RP-US relations, and is one of the fiercest critics of US-led wars against "terrorism."


Crispin Tagamolila


A brother of Antonio Tagamolila, who was president of the College Editors Guild of the Philippines in the 1960s, Crispin Tagamolila is one of the martyrs and one of the most revered figures of the armed revolutionary movement.


He graduated from the PMA and was a lieutenant when he defected to the NPA on March 29, 1971. As an NPA guerilla, he became known by the nom de guerre Kumander Cely. He was based in Isabela.


The masses whom he was able to get in touch with remember him for his highly affectionate attitude toward them. He was ever ready to help them, always open to learning from their experiences.


People who got to be with both he and Corpus compared them to each other; in their eyes, Tagamolila stood infinitely taller because unlike Corpus, they say, he was never arrogant and dictatorial in his behavior toward comrades and the masses. He never imposed on comrades and the masses the extremely rigid military ?discipline,? which they say Corpus was wont to do.


Tagamolila was killed in an ambush in Isabela on April 1, 1972.


Raymundo Jarque


Raymundo Jarque was at the center of the counter-insurgency operations in Negros in the 1980s.


In 1995, he defected to the NPA due to disenchantment with the government he had served for many years. He showed genuine sincerity and was welcomed into the fold of the underground Left. Jarque apologized to the masses whose lives and properties he destroyed during his years as chief implementor of Oplan Thunderbolt and other military operations that ravaged Negros in the 80s.


When his defection was announced, the military establishment and the public were, to say the least, astounded. He was then already a brigadier general -- so far the highest military official to defect to the revolutionary movement.


Later, he would help in the peace negotiations between the National Democratic Front of the Philippines and the government.


Commonalities, differences


Corpus, Vizmanos, Tagamolila, and Jarque were all military officials when they went over to the other side. There are commonalities and differences among them.

Corpus is now back in the military, actively fighting his former comrades who now revile him.


Tagamolila is hailed as a hero of the underground.


Vizmanos said he has never regretted leaving the Navy and joining the people's movement.


Jarque, though back in mainstream society, appears to have no intention of ever going back to the military fold or that he regrets crossing the bridge. Bulatlat.com
