Greed motivates Reds

Submitted by arikdik on Tue, 03/09/2010 - 1:49pm

What makes the Marxist-Leninist-Maoist credo still significant to the leaders of the Communist Party-New People’s Army-National Democratic Front? Do they really intend to achieve Karl Marx’s vision of a classless society or are they just using communist rhetoric (which has long been abandoned and consigned to the dustbin of history) to justify their criminal activities like extortion through its “revolutionary tax,” “permit to campaign” (PTC) and “permit to win” (PTW)?

MANILA, Philippines—Talk of the Town is running the stand of presidential candidates on a number of issues, starting with the country’s fast-growing population, now estimated at more than 92 million.

We asked the candidates the following questions:

* Under your administration, what would be your population policy?

* Are you in favor of artificial family planning methods like pills, condoms and IUDs?

* Do you support proposals to teach sex education in all schools, public and private, starting Grade 5?

Why I Will Vote Noynoy By Winnie Monsod

Why I will vote for Noynoy - Winnie Monsod
Villar still refuses to attend the Senate to face questions, and it only reminds me of how GMA used the privilege of her office to avoid questioning. What will happen if Villar wins and more corruption scandals surface?

Should the people vote for these politicians?

This is an interesting story.

Any of the named politicians familiar to anyone?

It seems that the present Mayor of my town was among those who paid a "permit to win fee" last May 2007 elections? Hmmm...interesting.

Here is the story:

Compromises...

Submitted by rejtatel on Tue, 03/02/2010 - 7:41am

The Magdalo Group is now supporting the candidacy of Senator Villar.

In exchange for Magdalo's support, Senator Villar agreed to the following three conditions set by Magdalo Group:

* He will not enter into an alliance with President Arroyo.
* He will pursue the Magdalo advocacy on poverty alleviation, anti-corruption, peace in Mindanao, and reform and modernization of the Armed Forces.
* He will allow other detained Magdalo members to serve in government.

I have no problem with condition No. 2.

Revolutionary authorities require candidates to observe policies in revolutionary areas

Communist Party of the Philippines
February 27, 2010

For several weeks now, officials and mouthpieces of the Armed Forces of the Philippines have intensified their dirty psywar attacks against the revolutionary forces, disparaging the policy requiring political parties and candidates to observe policies and guidelines regarding the conduct of reactionary elections within areas under revolutionary jurisdiction.

DAVAO CITY—Why pay them when their friends are with us?

That, in effect, was what the Nacionalista Party (NP) standard-bearer, Sen. Manny Villar, said Tuesday as he denied television reports quoting the military as claiming he was among the politicians who had paid campaign fees to the communist New People’s Army (NPA).

The story is told about three heads of state making a private audience before God during their terms of office.
"What do you want My son?" God the Father asked the Russian President Boris Yeltsin.

"After the downfall of Communism, heavenly Father, grant me success to implement democracy in my country." God the Father replied, "I am sorry Boris, but I cannot give you the request you're asking - not in your lifetime. At that, Yeltsin broke down and wept.

A few weeks ago, Former President Erap revealed that another presidential candidate thru emissaries approached him and requested him to withdraw from the race on the promise that all his expenses will be reimbursed.

Today, Senator Gordon revealed that this same presidential candidate requested him to withdraw from the race with a promise to reimburse all his expenses plus a slot in his cabinet if he wins.

I monitored the number of brownouts at home (Virac) over the month of February. I recorded the instances in the comments of my post for the January summary.
I have tried to be accurate and fair in my monitoring. There may have been brownouts occurring in the small hours whilst asleep that I missed. However The records are conservative and I believe represent a fair record of the truth.
