“I began to sense faintly that secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy … censorship. When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, ‘This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,’ the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything — you can’t conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him.” Robert A. Heinlein

MLQ3,

Re The Unlawyer’s comment

Spot on! Why aren’t military officers and men taking the brunt of the charges?

Tell you why? Coz there’s no solid evidence! The panic act was based on an imminent imminence of an imminent immince of an imminently imminent coup.

[...] If President Arroyo claims that last Friday’s alleged aborted coup d’etat [A commenter at Manuel Quezon III’s blog makes a distinction between a mutiny - which is what apparently happened over the weekend - and a putsch - Ed.] was the unwholesome fruit of a conspiracy between extreme leftists and rightists, why is it that avowed Communists and progressives seem to have taken the brunt of the charges so far filed by the secret police?

[...] I’d like to post something cheerful (weird links) or inconsequential (recent consumption of pop culture) not Serious with a capital S. Unfortunately, I can’t just yet. I read somewhere Monday is supposed to be important regarding the status of PGMA’s State of Emergency declartion. Already the empathic warning of the government on media and the closing of the Tribune has a chilling effect on some of the normally…verbose…bloggers. I can’t believe younger bloggers don’t even mention any of the events that will have a direct effect on their future. Still others still sit on the fence on the face of blatant abuse of power. I guess they’re still waiting for that knock in the night to get them off their asses. But know this: if they do crackdown on web-access and blogging, somehow the Filipinos based outside the country will continue getting the word out on events in Manila. Conrado de Quiros said it best in his column today: Protest. Defy. Fight back. [...]

sorry manolo,that is a nice line taken from somewhere.
how can an opposition that you yourself are not to happy about be tomorro’s future of sorts.
manolo, i know you are a great freedom lover.who is not a freedom lover?
but freedom can only be lost when we used it recklesly.
honestly manolo if i fill my freedom is threatened.i would say it’s thretened by those insisting on their’s
because they add to lives difficulties.
manolo naman, sana you have better taste on where your beating your future.
just because you & many others can’t stand or deal w/ the present administration does not mean the present administration is doing it all wrong.
everything in life swings two ways.
if the administration shold do the right things so do we have to do the right things.
critizing it & looking only for the administrations faults will make us all losers.
i can understand it’s not easy to deal w/ shit.
but if we wanna grow, we all have to think deeper & have a wider vision of things.
if not we get stuck in so many details that makes life miserable.
while in the mean time others move on.you insted gets left behind.
manolo, your a great writter & i admire you for that.
i’m worlds away compared to you.
but you lack something.
maybe it’s the connection between theory, idealissim to connect w/ reality.

joey, today’s opposition rag is tomorrow’s admin favored paper; just as today’s admin propaganda organ is tomorrow’s endangered opposition rag. you want the freedom to say what you want today, even tomorrow? defend even those you disagree with.

I thought we were living in a democracy. But with this so called state of emergency, it looks like we are going to be living in a Nazi state. The PNP’s statement that they were going to issue guidelines for the press goes against our Constitution. The raid to the Tribune is just the beginning and that’s the scary part.

what’s all the fuzz for the tribune.it’s just another opposition newspaper.
useing press freedom to defend the tribune is a waste of time for a newspaper that does not have anything to contribute to building the nation.
there is better tiolet paper then the tribune!
How can people spreading venom be so undespensable?
