A mental stutter
If the American people have a tremendous reason to rage and mourn every September 11, so do the Filipino people– and not just in solidarity with Americans over the bombing of the World Trade Center.
On Monday September 11, Jovito Palparan will be having his 56th birthday, and he’s been assigned as deputy for anti-insurgency operations at the National Security Council. The bastard has been given yet another feather in a headdress already stained by the blood of the hundreds of civilians and political activists he has ordered killed in the last five years.
What does this say about Macapagal-Arroyo and the kind of person, the kind of leader she is?
She promotes killers. She agrees with the means and methods that completely violate human rights and rules of war. She supports the summary execution of civilians and mass activists. She has no qualms about shaking hands with monsters like Palparan. She’s a monster herself.
I can’t even think straight as I write this. It’s like watching Hitler giving out medals to the SS, and they’re still stinking from the fumes of the gas chambers of Auschwitz or Sibibor.
Arroyo should be pelted with rotten eggs and squishy tomatoes and potatoes hard as rocks everywhere she goes in Europe. She should be served with expired milk, stale bread, contaminated shellfish, beef with Mad Cow disease, vegetables infested with caterpillars, tainted water in all the restaurants or public functions she goes to (am being juvenile and thinking of the members of the Mischief Committee of Fight Club).
How can she? How can she?!
Because she can, and because she’s evil.
I am not thinking straight. I have a mental stutter right now and it’s because I can’t get beyond the idea that Arroyo, in the midst of this gigantic hurricane of criticism against her government’s human rights record and the endless series of brutal murders her main man Palparan us perpetrating - assigns Palaparan to the NSC.

I’m more lucid now.
I told a friend today how upset I was over Palparan’s appointment. He looked at Palparan’s picture and that he was ’subhuman.’
"The guy looks like he was sexually-abused as a child. There’s something psychotic about the way he looks, the expression in his eyes."
Yes yes yes. Palparan is a serial killer in uniform. If psychiatrists made a profile of how his brain works and how his id and ego are, they’d most likely discover that he’s no different from the likes of Jack the Ripper and Hiter. Completely demented, killing calmly and coldly.
If I were in any way related to this monster, I would disown him a million times over.
I can see no end to this agenda of mostrosity and brutality. The government kills with impunity, without the slightest remorse and consideration for any law, human or divine. It’s a mindless animal, killing out of viciousness and not so much for defense or self-preservation. Since it cannot defend itself by logic or reason, or by convincing the public of its innocence and blamelessness, it reveals its true character, a many-fanged creature of nightmares with the face of Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo.
Who will stop this killing spree? Who will stand in the way of this brutality? How can the deaths of all the human rights advocates, progressives, political activists and civilian sympathizers be given justice?
What can be done?
I pray yet again, and again, for a blessed bullet.
