Smoke 'em Voices!

After a long hiatus, I am back. True to form, I read what juvenile undertakings these pseudo-intellectuals over at FilipinoVoices were discussing. I took part in one or two posts, ever mindful of my responsibility to whet their appetites for some of my intellectually-stimulating comments. As expected Mr. DJB welcomed my arrival with utmost envy, since, probably he never got the status I received as a new blogger. I posed a question and he never responded. Why? Probably, DJB is again, full of himself, that he forgets one dictum in "so-called" polemics--the importance of a proper response.

For all their drum-beating and intellectualizing, there is one thing very true about writers over at that site---they are hypocrites. Consider these:

Since Mr. Ding Gagelonia pricked my attention, I surfed around and found that this so-called "credible" writer was once a Marcos pressman. He also served under the regime of deposed President Joseph Estrada as the main propagandist (read: truth bender) of the discredited administration. Now, he's posturing as a nationalist because he works for a PR agency. Why posing as a nationalist? To divert the attention of the public about his real self---that of a publicist, truth-bender. Poor Mr. Mangubat---he wrote something salutory about this Mr. Gagelonia in one of his posts without even checking his background! Is Mr. Mangubat being so gullible? Mr. Gagelonia, if you don't know Mr. Mangubat, I checked with the OPS, and your so called "friend" partners with a certain man connected with the Presidential Adviser on Media! And what's the goal of Mr. Gagelonia? Actually, he's never been a true blue nationalist. He's an embedded spy working for this administration.

That's why I am apologizing to Mr. Gagelonia. I never knew that he's actually on our side. He writes over at that pitiful site FilipinoVoices.com pretending to be an anti-Gloria when his work is simply to neutralize legitimate destabilizers like DJB, Jester-in-Exile, Mangubat and a host of others.

Now, on this Mr. DJB character. I was informed by one of my staff that this person is also a former columnist of the Philippine Daily Inquirer who went out of media in disgrace because of his dogged subservience to again, Former President Joseph Estrada. So, these two, Mr. DJB and Mr. Gagelonia are two relics of the previous administration.

Poor readers of Filipinovoices! They are being gypped by these two midlifers who write to deceive young minds. Or, is it their way of redeeming themselves from their previous sins and their attempt at having a second life? You're guess is as good as mine!

The sweet smell of Power

One writer named Mr. Benigno over at that site, Filipinovoices.com, seems to understand where I'm coming from. My writings may appear obnoxious or as radical as some may think it is, but deep inside us, we all think the same way. Or, in one way or another, savor the sweet smell of power.

Yes, power. Is it wrong to enjoy power? No. In our small nooks, we enjoy power. Power, as what a famed philosopher once said, is all about dominance. Of what, you would ask me? Well, its dominance on relationships. You can have power over your child. In the office, you have power over your underlings. Everyone, in one way or another, exercises some form of power over another. 

Is it not correct to even say that government officials do exercise power over their constituencies? When I was a local executive in a small town (I would not give Mr. Gagelonia the pleasure of "blowing me out of the water", hahaha! Such foolish things coming from a foolish mouth, I suppose), I used power for the benefit of the majority. I lead my police whenever there's a stakeout against petty criminals. You can say that I had my fair share of getting my hands dirty. But, did I enjoyed it? Yes, I'm saying with all honesty. I enjoyed all the trappings of power.

Power is all glam and glitter. You can have money (obtained legally, by the way) and you enjoy the comforts of life and the admiration of beautiful women. Such are the trappings of power. Those who don't have it, envy us. That's why we have these so-called oppositionists. They had their time but blew it. Now, they want a repeat of their perfumed life at the expense of public money. They hate us for enjoying our lives while they wallow in utter envy. These are the destabilizers I refer to here, those former government officials who had their day in Malacanang.

Is it bad to pray for this to last forever? No. 

 

Those who disagree with me, let them. But, deep inside every one, even every writer of Filipinovoices lurks a fascist, maybe not in barong, as what this stupid Mr. Patricio Mangubat wrote or this so-called smoke said today, but in some academic's clothes.

Some day, maybe I'll be fired from this job, but hey, at least I was able to say what I want to say. The future will prove me right. History will absolve me.
