Nuts and corruption in the military (Talking Pointsl inq7)

Talking Points -- The Fil-Am Vote
I'd like to echo Mr. Juanito's response to Mr. Corpus... nuts!

The problem with anti-war, appeasers, anti-America -- whatever -- is that they always have a problem with oppressed people being liberated by America.

Think back to the 60s... America was in a great battle against communism. The anti-war crowd sided with the enemy by portraying America as a bully while brushing off communist expansion.

Come to think of it, when the Americans left Vietnam, millions fled or were murdered while Pol Pot ravaged the Cambodian countryside, where millions more were murdered. Not a peek from the Left.

When Reagan built the military in the 80s cold war, he was called a warmonger, an idiot, a simpleton, an illiterate by the Left... pretty much the same way Bush is being characterized today (though harsher on Bush). But then the Soviets were defeated and millions were liberated from communism.

When Kuwait was invaded, Bush Sr. was again portrayed by the Left as a warmonger and trigger-happy. Kuwait was liberated too.

When Clinton did not do anything to hunt down the terrorists, he was the enlightened one... a global leader... sensitive to other nations... blah-blah-blah. In that era, the terrorists grew and became bold.

Now 50 million were freed from the grips of Islamo-facism and dictatorship... the terrorists are on the run... and America is still the bad guy... Bush is worse than Saddam and Osama... makes my head spin.

To Mr. Gerry Albert Corpuz: When the Germans sent a note urging the American commander at the Battle of the Bulge in World War II to surrender because the Americans were heavily surrounded by a superior force, the American commander replied with one word: "Nuts!"

That's my reply to your rationale. Nuts!

Furthermore, I'm not "passing myself off as a Vietnam War veteran." I am a Vietnam War veteran -- and a proud one at that!

Have a nice day!

Talking Points – Military Corruption
The Philippine Senate is one of the proper channels to investigate the corruption charges against the military. The 64-dollar question is will the Senate deliver the goods in the quest for truth and justice?

Lawmakers need a great amount of courage and high passion and obsession for truth to uncover the left and right cases of massive corruption in the Armed Forces.

The existence of a mafia in the military is true. It is beyond reasonable doubt. Senator Miriam Defensor Santiago was right when she called the military a corrupt institution with the Chief of the AFP and the 11 deputy chiefs from J-1 to J-11 as his cohorts in the syndicate. But the President of the Philippines, being the commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, represents the top leadership of the billion-peso syndicate in the AFP.

The creation of the AFP was in fact a product of betrayal and corruption. At the time when it was constituted, the AFP by character and orientation was compelled to serve at the pleasure of the US and the top honchos of US transnational monopolies and military syndicate in Washington, D.C.

So they are not only predators of the Filipino people, but guardians of US ecoomic, political and military interests in the Philippines.

The Senate investigation on the alleged first-rate crimes of corruption in the AFP was long overdue. However, this would help the Filipino people and the taxpayers know how mercenaries robbed their hard-earned pesos in broad daylight with the blessings of a corrupt puppet state and the bully in Washington, D.C.

Military officers like any top government officials are bureaucrat capitalists. Top military officials will use their positions to enrich themselves.

Corruption is the twin brother of fascism and both are systematically etched and played in the game of the generals.

RP militants ask 4 million Fil-Ams, immigrants in US to reject Bush in Nov 2 polls

Critics of US President George W. Bush in the Philippines on Monday appealed to four million Filipino-Americans and Filipino immigrants in the United States to junk the presidential bid of re-electionist Bush in tomorrow’s elections.

“ We appeal to the patriotic sense and nationalist sentiment of our Filipino-Americans and Filipino immigrants in the US. This moment of world history calls us to frustrate the back-to-back presidential bid of the world’s no.1 terrorist-US President George W. Bush”, said Gerry Albert Corpuz, public information officer of the militant group Pamalakaya in a press statement.

“ Let our powerful voice at the electoral box-office and political theater teach this no.1 terror maker a lesson of a lifetime”, Corpuz added.

He said Bush was liable to the 84 million Filipinos in the country for pushing the Visiting Forces Agreement in 1999, which led to the yearly staging of RP-US joint military exercises and the secret signing of the controversial Mutual Logistics and Support Agreement (MLSA), which totally massacred the country’s national sovereignty.

“ Filipinos in the US are around 3 to 4 millions. Their votes can make a strong political statement against the US policy of aggression and occupation and change the terrorist policies of Washington by coming out in the open and frustrate the criminal Bush’s second attempt at the American presidency”, Corpuz added.

Corpuz likewise urged all freedom loving Americans to punish the war freak Bush by turning down his immoral cause for a second presidential term. “ Its’ judgment time for the Americans and Filipino immigrants and we are 100 percent sure, they would send Bush’ political career six feet under”, he added.

US President Bush, the world’s no.1 powerful leader is facing a strong opposition from Democratic Party’s presidential bet Senator John Kerry who had opposed Bush war policy on Iraq.

“The trend in global elections is clear- all anti-US war leaders running for elective posts enjoy advantage over candidates who supported the American forces invasion and occupation of Iraq”, Corpuz observed.

“The Americans and our Filipino patriots in the United States will rise above the occasion and tell Bush his no longer part of US political life because he orchestrated the modern-day invasion and imperialist occupation of Iraq and other countries. Bush war crimes in Iraq are unpardonable”, Corpuz said.

Pamalakaya said a Bush defeat in the November 2 presidential elections will give peaceniks and anti-US war activists and advocates the chance to place the US president under trial for war crimes.

“ The stirring defeat of Bush will pave the way for his prosecution and allow victims of his immoral and unjust war to seek their redemption and appropriate place in world history. We hope Americans and Filipinos in the US will not frustrate the global people on their quest for truth, justice and human dignity desecrated by the Bush administration”, the group added. #

Talking Points -- The Fil-Am Vote
(Continued) You also accused me of "praising the US occupation of Vietnam in the 60s..."

If you read that letter again, you'll find that nowhere in that comment did I say anything close to glorifying the Vietnam conflict. I think the problem is, you read the words "a proud Vietnam veteran" and immediately jumped to the wrong conclusion that I was glossing over America's involvement in the Vietnam conflict.

Do you know that people who read between the lines and jump to conclusions without comprehending what they're reading are often guilty of twisting the facts?

Consider this: Contrary to your assertion, the US forces did not -- repeat not -- go to South Vietnam as occupying forces. (I assume that, as an information officer, you must be a well-educated person, and therefore, your grasp of history must be greater than mine since I'm only a high school graduate -- Mapa High Class of '54). But, note that the College Edition of the American Heritage Dictionary defines occupation as "the invasion, conquest, and control of a nation or terrirtory by a foreign military force." The dictionary also states "the military government exercising such control."

The US forces in Vietnam did not do any of those. The US forces went to the self-governing South Vietnam to help fight the North Vietnamese. Now, don't take my word on it. Check out the facts.

The truth is, I don't have any high or low regard for the Vietnam conflict. I accepted an involuntary assignment to Vietnam while serving in the US Navy and feel proud that I did -- not for the conflict that was then going on, but for a personal reason I'd rather not talk about in writing for all the world to read. (Someday, if I ever go back home again, I'll try to make an effort to look you up, and meet you so I can tell you all about it over a friendly lunch or dinner).

Furthermore, I am not a Bush apologist nor am I a fanatic fan of him, but if it makes me one for sorting out the myths from the facts, and the truth from the lies about the man, then (just like what Tristan Cupida said) "so be it."

Meanwhile, I also have a suggestion for you like you had a suggestion for Tristan A. Cupida. With your obviously limited, if not contorted, knowledge of the Bush administration's policies, plus your visceral hatred of him, you can be an excellent "information officer" for Michael Moore. You'd really make an excellent team because you're both long on rhetoric, but short on substance!

Have a nice day and (again, just like what Tristan A. Cupida said), "Cheers!"

{Continued) War is hell as history proves. The consequences are always devastating, just like the devastations we suffered during the Second World War at the hands of the Japanese from whose terrifying grips, the "imperialistic" and "militaristic" Americans rescued us. Worse, the collateral damage of war is sometimes heavily felt more by the innocent bystanders than by the war participants.

But, just like you and me, who must sometimes stand up to defend our rights and our family from the hostile threats of others, so do nations find it necessary sometimes to wage war in defense of their rights to live peacefully, protect their values, their freedom and security. And, to avenge the unprovoked harm inflicted upon them!

Picture this in your mind, if you will: The Americans woke up that ordinary morning of September 11, 2001 expecting to peacefully go about their daily routine when, midway through that fateful morning, the ordinary morning we thought we had was shockingly and horrifyingly shattered by the terrorists' vicious attack on the Twin Towers in New York.

Before that incident, and not long ago, the tunnel of one of those Trade Centers was also sabotaged by the terrorist, inflicting wounds and anguish on innocent people. There was also the attack on the US embassy in Africa which killed and maimed a lot of innocent civilians, and the bombing of a US Navy ship in Yemen harbor that took the lives of 17 sailors.

In the face of all that carnage and wanton disregard for innocent lives, what did you expect the US to do? Just moan and groan and roll with the punches?

Saddam Hussein has killed thousands of his own people through the use of deadly chemicals, invaded Kuwait, secretly cheated the terms of the UN resolutions on Iraq's "oil-for-food program" by using the oil revenue not for his people's welfare but for the purchase of military hardware, made a mockery of the UN mandated "no-fly-zone" by aiming his missile batteries and firing at the UN's patrol planes, mocked the UN's Weapons Inspection Team, plotted the assassination of the elder Bush, rewarded with cash the families of Palestinian suicide bombers who killed innocent civilians in Israel, and harbored dangerous international criminals like Abu Nidal.

His arrogant, stubborn, and oftentimes hostile behavior clearly demonstrated contempt and hatred for Western values. With or without the WMDs, Saddam Hussein has constently demonstrated a pattern of belligerent behavior that posed a threat to the security of America, and possibly the rest of the world.

Against this backdrop and in the aftermath of the 9/11 massacre, what did you expect the US to do? Sit tight and wait until it's too late? And, afterwards, moan and groan and roll with the punches? (continued)

Talking Points -- The Fil-Am Vote
I am compelled to write to Mr. Gerry Albert Corpuz once more because of his harsh criticism of Tristan A. Cupida's defense of the comments this old man sent earlier to Talking Points.

Having been humbled by Tristan A. Cupida's well-written rationale, and tickled pink at the same time by his excellent sense of humor, I can't imagine myself just sitting here, just looking out the window and enjoying the colorful sights of the early fall foliage, without saying anything for myself.

I'm not sure if Mr. Corpuz's seething hatred of Bush is due to his hatred of America. He uses such words as "US imperialism," "militaristic America," etc. and then turns right around and hopes that America rejects Bush this coming election!

What difference will it make? If America is imperialistic and militaristic as Mr. Corpuz believes it is, does it matter who the president is? Or maybe, he's saying that America is imperialistic and militaristic because of Bush.

Somehow, I can't help thinking that he probably sits there in the comfort of his office, reads some news items on Bush or, perhaps, even went to see Michael Moore's excessively biased "Fahrenheit 911," (he sounds very much like him!), and presto! -- he now knows everything about Bush and his domestic and foreign policies. Bush is a warmonger! A terrorist! An economic plunderer!

But, where are your facts, Mr. Corpuz? What makes Bush the No. 1 terrorist and war criminal that you claim he is?

Is it because Bush drove the Taliban, who were harboring Bin Laden and his network of terrorists responsible for the 9/11 attack on the US, from Afghanistan? Do you know that Bin Laden admitted to masterminding the 9/11 attack on America's soil and that the Taliban would not surrender Bin Laden to the US in spite of America's repeated appeal?

Or maybe Mr. Corpuz hates Bush for overthrowing Saddam Hussein who has committed atrocities against his very own people. Do you know that just recently, they found another mass grave in Iraq where men, women and children were all buried together, victims of Saddam Hussein's murderous whims?

Granted, Bush invaded Iraq for the WMDs and found nothing. But Bush was not the only one who believed that Saddam Hussein had them. The intelligence network in countries like Egypt, Pakistan, England, Israel and others were also convinced that Saddam had an arsenal of WMDs, as reported in both the newspapers and the radio and TV newscasts.

For all we know, he could have moved them to the neighboring Syria just before the Iraq invasion, as some prominent observers suggest. But that's another issue for discussion (the Syria conspiracy, that is). (continued)

1. I believe Kerry will win. Yesterday, I voted for him and I saw a huge turnout from minorities, i.e. blacks, women, Hispanics. This group is crucial to his winning the presidency. The blacks especially wanted to make sure that this time their candidate wins.

2. US policies are geared toward US citizens. It is up to the individual citizen to seize the opportunity which I believe puts no distinction whether a person is white, black, yellow, green or orange. My experience has been great in this country. I can truly say that this a land of milk and honey. Any hardworking individual has a chance for success here, for there is a level playing field here set in place by the government.

3. I do not have an estimate. All I know is that my friends have voted. I have exercised my right to vote since I became a citizen. It feels good to know that I could affect the result and get to choose the leader of the free world.

4. If Kerry wins, the new revision to the overtime law will most likely be repelled, and this affects me. People in Europe, Asia and the Middle East will probably take a "wait and see" approach and will give Kerry a chance to rectify Bush's foreign policy mistakes.

If Bush wins, well, the US deficit will certainly balloon to astronomical proportions, alienate the US from the rest of the world, and will make it doubly hard for the ordinary person to get ahead while the rich and conglomerates will flourish.

I am impressed with this site. I wrote an opinion yesterday and it was published within 24 hours. I was not expecting it to be published, much more to be printed in 24 hours. My congratulations to you and your staff for your efficient system.

Americans are divided on this election. As you can see, we are all full of energy and willing to talk about this issue. Whether Democrats, Republicans or Independents, we have our own reasons. The difference between the US and the Philippines is that when a winner is declared, we move on. The loser congratulates the winner. I have not seen many of that in our country. I can only remember Johnny Remulla of Cavite conceding defeat within days after the election of his opponent. There were some after that.

We need more of this in order for us to move on. After the election, no more lawsuits about being cheated or whatever. Not saying it never happened here, and it does, but very few and far in between. In our beloved country, the Philippines, it is considered a sport to have a lawsuit filed by the losing candidate.

This election will be over soon. An exercise we do every four years and sometimes every other year.

Again, thank you very much for the time.

This will be my last posting to this very lovely forum -- sounds so gay (I'm not one though, last time I checked).

Talking Points has proven to me a great deal about the Filipino. We're a very unique phenomenon. We're like chameleons taking on the colors of every place of this planet that we set our foot onto. How I wish we could just unite and find common ground to pursue our own true color.

"I have a dream" (if you will let me borrow that phrase from Dr. King) that some day I could have my own identity in my own country, proud and never having to answer or say yes to anyone from a foreign land whose only interest is to pillage and take advantage of my land and my own people.

What a dream! I hope none of the forum participants would chastise me for daring to dream like that. But I'm dead serious about it, even if it means I have to wait another hundred years or so. I would be somewhere else by then, hopefully heaven.

One of the contributors in the forum said I have to go back to where I came from if I'm not happy with America and what it has to offer.

Well, whoever that person was, thanks for giving me that good advice. Next year I will be taking my family back to where we really belong no matter who wins the election. After 20 years, I still couldn't get over the fact that I still love the Philippines and the only way I can show it is for me to go back home.

I would rather suffer with my own people than pretend that I care by reidiculing and despising the sad situation in the Philippines. The problems in the Philippines will not be solved by just talking about it. Somebody has to at least try something.

I hope if Kerry wins he will leave the Philippines alone.

That's quite a longshot to hope for since Filipinos who never cared about the motherland think that driving the Philippine economy down will only mean good for the dollars they would want to spend when they visit Pinas. It reminds me about some Filipinos I know when I was still in the navy, how they're reacting to the closure of the two bases. They were so furious that the Philippine government dared to finally put an end to the sore spot that's been causing Filipinos more pain than they bargained for. Paano na raw ang mga hostess? Saan sila kukuha ng ikabubuhay? At wala na rin daw "gud taym."

And they call themselves Filipinos!

On a lighter note, I would like to say a few words to some of the forum participants.

Gerry Albert Corpuz, is it true what pepsy4u said? He said you also want to be a wannabe.

Mr. Cupida, you are smart and I like your style.

Mr. Fuerte, I admire your faithful love for your country -- America that is.

To all other posters, let's keep all our fingers crossed.

God be with the candidates.

Mr. Gerry Albert Corpuz is an information officer? Information officer of what? Pravda? The Communist Party of the Philippines?

I used to believe those lies about the United States when I was studying in UP Los Baños, America being capitalist imperialist, massacring hundreds of thousand of Filipinos.

I even remember believing my Social Science III teacher telling us the reason the US is so developed is because it has taken advantage of so many Third World countries. Yep, I believed those lies until I came to the US.

I realized that the average American is too busy already just making ends meet, let alone being a capitalist imperialist. I think the average American doesn't even know the meaning of the phrase "capitalist imperialist."

I also realized that the reason the US is so developed is because ordinary folks can do extraordinary things.

Coming from one of the premiere educational institutions in the Philippines, I always thought that economic and technological advances have to come from the super rich and super intelligent. (One of the reasons I left the Philippines is because Philippines is only good to two kind of folks -- the super bright and super rich, and I am neither). However, America is the antithesis of that thinking.

Most of America's advancement doesn't come from government programs, or the super rich or the intellectual elite. It comes from ordinary Americans. For example, the first personal computer was made in a garage, Microsoft was founded by a college dropout, Google was made by two guys playing with search engines on a Linux box, etc. etc. etc.

New industries have always started not with big programs, but by small folks with big dreams -- ordinary folks doing extraordinary things.

I could sense so much hate toward Americans from information officer Gerry Corpuz. There will always be bad apples, but the average American is a generous human being. You would be amazed how much they give to the church and needy.

When I was in need, it was these so-called capitalist imperialists who helped me and my family. Sad to say, not a single Filipino offered to help me out.

Forget this mantra of helping the masses or "para sa bayan" slogans. How can you help the masses when you can't even help yourself? We can't blame America for all the historical blunders we did as a nation. We can only blame ourselves. Rather than spewing hatred and lies, I suggest that it would help the Philippines if we think of ways on how to make the average Filipino do extraordinary things to help himself out. Give the average citizen the means to pursue his self-interest (as opposed to selfish interest), then things would start looking up for the Philippines.

(Continued) 5. I still maintain that it is the height of naiveté to assume a significant change in US policy with a Kerry presidency.

US policies toward the Philippines never had any significant shift whether the top guy in the White House is Republican or Democratic. Unlike Mr. Corpuz, I do not harbor any romantic illusions.

In the end, it is the responsibility of Philippine leaders to pursue and secure the nation’s interests in its dealings with foreign countries. And please, our abject condition is not caused by America. America is not responsible for the Jose Pidals, Jose Velardes and Carlos Garcias of this benighted land.

6. With respect to the red-baiting -- actually, I only assumed he was leftist (which, Mr. Corpuz apparently finds distasteful) -- I apologize for raising Mr. Corpuz’s paranoia.

It’s just that Mr. Corpuz’s anti-American clichés, so redolent of, pardon the pun, fishy red polemics led me to believe so.

So, if Mr. Corpuz says that his arguments are not ideologically led and and he is not red (what a rhyme), then so be it.

Finally, for a person representing fishermen -- err, fisherfols would probably be the better term for Mr. Corpuz’s friends from Gabriela, I find Mr. Corpuz erudite -- the untruths and verbal histrionics notwithstanding.

He is quite a competent propagandist.

It is with amusement that I read Mr. Corpuz’s hysterical response to my comments. I do not want to dignify inanities but the likes of Mr. Corpuz should not be allowed to go scot-free with lies.

1. Calling somebody a propagandist just because he refuses to believe your hallucinations shows at most an infantile behavior.

Mr. Corpuz wants the world to engage in group think, suspend any sense of rationality and swallow hook, line and sinker what he wants it to believe. I still maintain that Mr. Bush, for all his faults, did not kill millions of people nor is he enslaving the whole world, nor went to Iraq with the intention to commit genocide. In short, he is no Hitler.

2. The 11 million deaths caused by America is news to me. Perhaps, Mr. Corpuz can educate UP’s history professors about the matter, for I never recalled any of them teaching me the said facts.

As far as I remember, at the turn of the 19th century, the Philippines was America’s only colony. I have no knowledge of the statistics with respect to American Indians, but I can’t think of any other race who suffered under American hegemony during the period.

3. Putting aside sanity and assuming that Mr. Corpuz’s 11 million is correct, the argument would still be a non-sequitur. After all, if this is the bar where Bush’s reelection is judged, then by all means let us judge Chirac by France’s conquest of Indochina, Mozambique, etc.

It gets slippery from here -– why not judge Schroeder based on Hitler’s WW II actions or the depravations of the Visigoths? Heck, why not judge Silvio Berlusconi with the conquest of chunks of the earth during the heyday of the Roman Empire?

4. Nowhere in my e-mail did I endorse Bush. I was merely pointing out to Mr. Corpuz that you do not win arguments with imaginary assertions.

Arguments are won by facts. At any rate, I’m flattered by Mr. Corpuz suggestion but I’m sure Mr. Bush has more than enough propagandists. On second thought, in this depreciated-peso times, considering that they pay in dollars, why not? (Naah, I’m just trying to be ironic). (continued)

1. Nobody knows and I don't care. Regardless of who wins, the US is in deep trouble with the war on Iraqi civilians. Kerry, by promising to bring in more troops, guarantees more dead American soldiers and more innocent Iraqis.

2. None, Bush calls for more lethal and massive use of firearms. Kerry calls for more troops. Either way, people die while we Americans pay the taxes.

3 and 4. This election is a sham and does not really give the American public a choice. The US will further be isolated and treated as the imperialist bully who cares for nothing except the oil in the Middle East.

I have been in this United States for about 31 years and voted in every election that came my way.

I am a registered Independent and always vote my conscience. I voted for President George Bush two weeks ago. That vote was not for Bush but against John Kerry.

John Kerry called me and all the Vietnam veterans rapists and baby killers. I will not forget that. A candidate who will not support the military will not get my vote. The military is the one entity that keeps this nation free and Americans should understand that.

John Kerry is reviving Vietnam once more. He does not welcome our soldiers who are fighting for the freedom we enjoy.

That gentleman (Gerry Albert Corpuz) who says the US is the evil imperialist ("For Mr. Cupida's information, the US at the turn of 1900 had killed over 11 million people worldwide, including 600,000 Filipinos during the Philippine-American war. Why not check the US military literature just to prove what US imperialism meant to global people so he could have a better and objective standing of world history and perhaps quit from saying hallelujah to Bush and the ring leaders of his Washington-based mafia.") that takes advantage of the world is someone who cannot make it here.

He is dreaming and wishing that he can migrate to the United States and enjoy life.
