While Jose Maria Sison had got out of jail, the fascist security adviser of Gloria Macapagal Arroyo's Secretary Norberto “Sira-Ulo” Gonzales is now concocting stories that the NPA will retaliate. Now, it seems that this guy and through his US advisers convertly working with him are planning something. I hope he does not do the desperate, that is to sacrifice their witnesses Joy Kintanar and Veronica Tabara only to cook up a scenario that will further be a precedent to attack the NDF and demonize its leaders. With treachery, Gloria and operators, the likes of Norberto Gonzales operates like a mafia. One, Mr. Gonzales is an outright psychopath liar who loves to follow a Machiavellian way of doing politics. I would not be surprised when one day we Filipinos will wake up and again hear news in mainstream print and broadcast media that their witnesses were killed purportedly by NPA’s. Inorder to prove his point, through made-up, Mr. Gonzales keeps on repeating his lies like Goebel, Hitler's dreaded propagandist during the second world war. Gonzales does not mind to insult Filipinos who can just see what he and Gloria and all the rest their bunch of corrupt officials in government are doing. For the record, the revolutionary movement is a just movement. It does not do what reactionaries do. The revolutionary movement represented by the NDF is a people’s movement. It takes armed rebellion as the primary form of struggle just to insure that people revolutionary gains are not dissipated, that such as political, economic and social gains are well protected and well insured that it will be carried to the fullest until victory, when poor masses will have a say gainst the dictatorship of the few turning it around to a a dictorship of the majority. It had to protect itself against reactionary attacks now! It has to defend itself against reactionary attacks whereby the power of the biglandlords in the rural areas as well as compradors are slowly decapitated given the rate of land redistribution in the rural areas implemented by the people themselves. Of course these reactionaries, the big comprador landlords and compradors have to contend with revolutionary organs of power be it during elections and even after. In short the very social base of US imperialism which it gets its power is quite eroding fast amid the growing upswell of the revolutionary movement, wave by wave expanding their leadership and influence among the masses and encircling the cities. The release of Jose Maria Sison is indeed a big slap to Gloria's operators like Norberto. Being an observer of what is happening in the Philippines, there is now a need for Filipinos all around the world to continuesly press for peace talks. However when Gloria’s government becomes the hindrance trying to make the people capitulate to their agenda and using back stabbing campaigns like putting the chief consultant to of the NDF in jail, I think it is just important for people to focus their energies in ousting her. As aptly said by Joema, Gloria is an infant evil. I think we should not wait for this evil to become a full blown one. Everybody now should join to expose and oppose GMA's corruption and fascist campaign for her to maintain self in power. She had just told everbody that the ZTE broadband deal with China is done deal amid congressional and senate exposy.
Statement on My Release from Detention
By Prof. Jose Maria Sison
13 September 2007
Friends, Warmest greetings!
I am deeply pleased and thankful that the Rechtsbank has decided to release me from detention. You cannot imagine how happy I am. It is extremely painful and humiliating to be subjected to solitary confinement and tough interrogation under overheated lamps. The ordeal is acute because I am innocent of the false and politically-motivated charge leveled against me.
I have nothing to do with any murder. This is against my moral and political principles. I am a teacher by profession who loves the exchange of ideas towards common understanding and practical cooperation. I have long devoted myself to the advocacy of human rights and work for a just peace in the Philippines. I cannot go into the facts and arguments concerning my case. It is my lawyer Michiel Pestman who is competent to give you the information that you need.
Consequent to the release order of the Rechtsbank, I gain some confidence in the Dutch legal system. I have the opportunity to prove my innocence and continue to benefit from fair play. I feel somehow vindicated in choosing The Netherlands as my place of refuge from persecution in the Philippines. I also wish to thank the Dutch, Filipino and other peoples for their solidarity and support.
I will stay in the Netherlands with my wife and my two children who are already independent. I will conduct my legal defense and further clear my name. I will continue to exercise my freedom to speak and other democratic rights. I will continue to work for national freedom, human rights, social justice and an enduring, because just, peace in the Philippines.
I will continue to abide by the laws of the Dutch state and further develop solidarity with the Dutch people whose friendship and kindness I have enjoyed for more than 20 years. Thank you.#
