MY CYBERCOUNTRY IS JAILED WITH ME.

Dear Fellow Netizens,

I am also a citizen of a cyber-country called INTERNET.

This a free country for all the citizens of the world. We call ourselves "Netizens", short of "Internet Citizens". I love it. In my own simple thoughts and ideas, I could share to the whole world what is happening around me, and of course, my craggy thoughts and idea earned from my own poverty.

I feel that we are now at the very dark age of our FREEDOM OF THOUGHTS, SPEECH AND SPIRIT.

We are now deprived of our very own fundamental rights granted by the Freedom Constitution---the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines---sculpted by the sacrifice of one NINOY AQUINO, the father of my president, NOYNOY AQUINO.

We were FREE then.

But today, in the Philippines more particularly, the many netizens is under attack of E-MARTIAL LAW and the authors are the majority of the Senators except one TG. I believe these Senators betrayed us by inserting into the Cybercrime Prevention Law of 2012 a provision about e-libel. There was no public consultations made from us. It was I believe a result of a “swift insertion” and gerrymandering. These Senators also fleet a disguise as a countermeasure to lay underground their sinister plan of passing the Cybercrime law using the issue on the "dreaded RH Bill". As far as I learned it all started there!

It all started with a "crying Senator" who felt sorry about the death of his child. But later, one netizen discovered that some of the contents of his privilege speech were all "plagiarized"; and when some of the netizens call his attentions to take notice of such wrong-doing, he invoked his "parliamentary privilege," to which all of the senators except one, just let it run his way. He even downplayed that netizen by saying, "just a blogger." Well, it was an unfortunate statement from an elected Senator of the Republic of the Philippines, mandated to make and uphold the law!

There was that time that this Senator gained a lot of critiques and criticisms with blunt disregard of the "blogger's intellectual rights" and even stand firm in his conviction by saying, "everybody is doing it in the Philippines." What a short-minded statement it was. So, unfortunate indeed.

He called the statements of his critiques as "Cyberbullying", while in fact, he could have stated it as "Cyber-bullshitting". Anyway, what happened had already been blown to a tremendous magnitude where silent netizens, enjoying the freedom of his country, come to the cyber streets, rallying against this bullshitted "cybercrime prevention act."

I feel that one day, if this law stays at the very foothold where it is now, a lot of netizens will land in the cold corners of the cyberjails throughout the Philippines’ cyber-archipelago that even a cyber-island would not be enough to accommodate their numbers.

My fellow netizens, I am calling your attention on this Cybercrime Law. My anti-virus is not enough to kill this contagious “sottofect.exe” virus, or the other “enrileffec.exe” worms inside the nerves of own cybersystem. It is killing me!!! I did try to install two of the anti-virus I’ve known, namely: “Trillanes Anti-virus” or “Guingona Anti-virus”, but to no effect at all. I think I have to try what a fellow netizen named, “Jim”, the “Lacson Anti-virus,” but it still in Beta form.

Anyway, this might be my last message to all my fellow netizens, because I need to rest, and gear up my self to the next tremendous task of countering the “cyber-storm” that me come around against me.

Guess what? I'm presently in my cold cyber-jail as you surf this in all of the cyber-streets. In case, I will be arrested and jailed, just remember that I’m always with you. But if you care to visit me then, bring a tiny laptop, hide it in a handkerchief or any just to keep it away from the jail guards. I promise to keep it whatever is the cost. Just let me write my thoughts in this tormented corners of my jailed country---the INTERNET.

Sincerely yours,

Cyber Geo

P.S. Remember the day when we were FREE and HAPPY.

Communist China is employing Protracted War Management Tactic to heightened its claims on Scarborough Islands

 

The Philippine government should be alarmed by such blatant posturing and fearless pronouncements of the Chinese media. You can observe that political propaganda and military bullying is one of the Chinese's protracted war management tactic. While it's diplomatic machinery has been actively composing itself to politicize the Philippine government by virtue of trying push it to the limit of its own resources, other structural representations of the Chinese communist government is tactically manipulating the groundwork as it advances to its military objectives.

They can consider the conflict between the Philippine government as a "petty war" that can be resolve eventually without firing a shot to conclude it. They would utilize that old communist tactical offensives of politicizing the whole observing world to legitimize its own claims on Scarborough Shoal which is about 230 kilometers off Luzon island, while intensifying its war preparation if in case, conflict in the area would be inevitable, because of possible involvement of the United States and its allies.

As we can observe, the Philippine government has been exhausting its whole efforts of trying to engage China in diplomatic settlement while knowing that it would not deal with them directly. China knows the ins and outs within the streams of the Philippine bureaucracy, by indication, it very well know how people who are working the best of their efforts to convince China to quit from “bullying” the country, until such time that the “ultimate demand” will be made to their great advantage.

As of the moment, the political machinery of the communist is working with overwhelming accuracy, which I believe, is very critical to the ongoing diplomatic negotiations. Although, the Philippines would have certainly moves of bringing the matter to the appreciation of the international community, and also through the United Nations, as its optimal ground of action that would legitimize their diplomatic protest. But, all these actions, to the extent of inviting the whole world to come to rescue and assist the Philippines, the ultimate end would still be protracted war management effort of China to go on, even beyond all the reasons that it could bear until all is won.

It would be that in the next few weeks, or even months, when the smoke of the conflict would rise into the next level, there is that possibility that China will not hesitate to use force to concretize its main objective, just like what it did in 1988 when 64 Vietnamese sailors were massacred. It was an act of war against Vietnam, but, the latter could not do otherwise. Vietnam recognizes China as a powerful giant. You can read the whole account of the story here.

Now, the question, can the Philippine government send troops to Scarborough Shoals to defend the islands? Yes, it is possible, but the soldiers should understand that they would be the “sacrificial lambs” when armed conflict against China will erupt. By so doing, the Philippine government can declare war against China, and the latter would be happy to engage.

By this scenario, what would be the legitimate reaction of the U.S.? None, unless China would declare war against the U.S. But, since, it’s only the Philippines, the burden would be the sole responsibility of the Philippines, because the US government would not be dragging its own resources to this mess because either way, it would be to their geopolitical advantage. So, it would all be Philippines against the giant China only. One on One (What a classic scenario!)

I just hope that the Philippine government, no matter what, must stand firm to its claims and it should not yield to the politicizing of the communist China. With or without diplomacy, war is inevitable.

Finally, I know that Philippines is different from Vietnam, or any other Asian country for that matter.

China’s aggressive stance in South China Sea is a test of might

I was irked to write about the recent aggressive stance of China at the Scarborough shoals of the Philippine territorial zone where Chinese fishermen were caught fishing, I mean, poaching or smuggling, whatever you call it.

I believe that China is now taking a test of might on South China Sea (SCS) more particularly when they know that the area is believed to have large deposit of oil and gas reserves underneath its seabed. Besides, the area also holds the record that one-third of the world’s shipping trades are traversing through its waters. By trying to announce its aggressive presence, China is certainly sending a clear message to its neighbors that it would not yield to its claims that this part of the world is part of their dominion, even if the conflict that recently occur happens within the backyard of the Philippine territorial boundary.

The recent impasse between China (The Mighty Bear) and the Philippines (The Mighty Mouse) is only one among the many conflicts that it has been involved in years passed against a sovereign country like the Philippines. Since SCS could be the flash point for future world conflicts, it would be proper for the Philippines to stand up with distinctiveness about its claims, but it should not only rely to the United States of America (The Mighty Uncle Sam) about resources on defense. The Philippine Congress has to initiate also an aggressive stance about the claims by bringing the matter to the international court of law and justice and should not allow China just play giant without restraint in the backyard of Philippine sovereignty.

But it seems that the diplomatic course of settling conflict, more particularly, in the United Nations, where China is one of the permanent member of the UN Security Council, would no longer be a feasible forum, nor would it be a refuge for those who really need its swift action to settle the conflict. We can take a credible example in Syria; with China and Russia, both stood up opposite to the other members of the UNSC for immediate military action as response to the growing incident of a government killing its own people, not until recently when thousands have already been gone to swift death perpetrated by its own government. Indeed, the democratic process which is one of the paramount pillars of the United Nations is now taking a longer process of responsiveness. Of course, doubts as the probable actions of the US and UK has always been one of the stinking reasons for China and Russia to delay action. Therefor, each of the members of the UNSC are drawing reasons to doubt every intentions laid down during talks and negotiations---a play of domino, I should say.

Now, China, with all its dollar reserves and sundry, earned through edging up against US products and others, would probably wants to show the world that it’s their time now. It has to emerge as one mighty power that should not be taken lightly neither by the US or the UK, or even France, or any mighty country for that matter.

I could foresee a different China, which before a “sleeping giant” now awake to take the specter of dominance against all odds.

The conflict now slowly revealing in the course of agitating the Philippines to take a more aggressive stance of its claims at Scarborough Shoals can be the key to a worst or bitter scenario of the future of China-Philippines relation; and I would admit, the old school for spies and daggers, is beginning to resurface as the Mighty Bear wants to play with Might Mouse. Thus, careful consideration must be taken into account, but not discounting the fact that China is really getting hot of world dominance, by force or trades.

Watch out! Lots of surprise unravels China’s real intent. Of course, North Korea will be there to start the fire. I just hope I’m wrong as I observe the patterns that these countries are playing with their own domino games.
