지금 필리핀-STATE TERROR(?)..

.."State of emergency"

(so the rulers are calling this!!)

While the people of the Philippines yesterday wanted to celebrate the 20^th anniversary of the end of the Marcos dictatorship the current administration under G. Arroyo declared the state of emergency – under the threadbare, or perhaps better said shabby(?), pretext of a planned revolt/coup d’etat, according to the state propaganda, by "rightwing military officers" and "leftists"(in this case the government means the so-called communists/CCP). In my opinion it is not to believe, not at all... But what is definitely to believe that(perhaps) a majority f the Filipinos/Filipinas are complete fed up with the system! Ha, just ask our comrades from Kasammako – they are very close now to MTU(as I guess).

Yesterday in the...

...streets of Manila

Anyway until now there are not many informations about it, especially not many independent... Many wrong things in the last 48 hours were written by the Western media... For example the German magazine Der Spiegel(2.24) wrote about heavy street battles, but in fact there were "just" attacks by the police and army against unarmed civilians. Especially yesterday(2.25) many left activists and journalists were arrested.

Well if I find new and better informations I will upload it here as soon as possible.
