In a state of panic, the US-Arroyo Regime digs its own grave

Desperately holding on to authority, Arroyo is unleashing its fascist attacks on both the traditional and progressive opposition. In the countrysides and cities, Arroyo's minions of fascist generals are responsible for the murders of leaders and members of legal democratic mass organizations. In Mindanao, the recent murders of 3 community leaders in Makilala, North Cotabato, 1 transport leader in Davao City, 1 peasant leader in Cagwait, Surigao del Sur, 3 in San Luis, Agusan del Sur, 1 in Bislig City, 1 in Kitcharao, Agusan del Norte and 4 in Cecilia, Bayugan, Agusan del Sur indicate the adoption of General Jovito Palparan's annihilation campaign by the AFP Southern Command against democratic leaders.

Arroyo placates the US imperialist by kowtowing to the latter's demands for more areas to be covered by the Balikatan exercises to make the Philippines a staging ground for the bogus “war on terror.” She has opened Mindanao provinces to these exercises despite stiff opposition from local governments and the people, and in clear violation of the national sovereignty. A shift in American loyalty as shown in the ouster of the Marcos Dictatorship, however, is certain as the mass movement once more becomes decisive in shaping history.

Arroyo's continued rein is the biggest irony in the upcoming observance of EDSA II People Power anniversary. Arroyo's arrogance mocks the collective power of the people to effect a regime change. A transition council where sectors and progressive forces are equitably represented is a pressing alternative as the Arroyo Regime becomes more loathsome by the day.

NDF-Mindanao contributes to the hastening of Arroyo's ouster through its consistent adherence to People's Protracted War which seeks the overthrow, not only of Arroyo as the representative of the ruling class, but of the whole ruling system dominated by landlords, bureaucrat capitalists and imperialists. More tactical offensives are sweeping Mindanao as part of the Protracted People's War and as a way to punish the intractable US-Arroyo Regime.

1. NDF are patriots

"US-Arroyo regime," indeed. The Philippines needs true independence.

2. Things are heating up -

I wonder if Americans are aware of just how dangerous the situation is right now.
