Politics

Dear Bernie, It is time to start preparing for the likely case that you may not be nominated by the “Democratic” Party during its convention in Philadelphia at the end of July. Your willingness to give the “Democratic” Party multiple chances to do the right thing is commendable, but it is unlikely to be reciprocated by those in charge of the “Democratic” Party (the Clintons and those who support them). Many of us in this country agree with you that the American economy and the American political system are rigged to work against the vast majority of people – the working and middle classes. Unfortunately, we are also learning the “Democratic” Party’s nomination process is also rigged against people like you and us, who want such party to represent the working and the middle...

My dearest TYT, You can bet your bottom dollar that there's a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow. Just bear with me...I promise it'll be worth it. Recently I read a allegorical novel called Darkness at Noon. It was written in 1940 by Arthur Koestler, a Hungarian-British journalist who resigned from the communist party after seeing the monster that Stalinism had become, and tells the story of Rubashov, an Old Bolshevik who is imprisoned and tried for treason against the government he had helped create.

I have thus written letter of concern and also the attached Open Letter to the press , to the parties concerned, including the Telegraph and the Archbishop's Press and Communications representatives and the National Child abuse inquiry. I will also publish this online, as the only way to stop the Church's repeat press and media abuse is to shame them, they are above the law and seemingly above you as you, the only thing that seems to stop their bad behaviour is simply telling...

As the Philippine national election is past approaching, I feel very hopeful for the great change that will surely happen in the Philippines. But as I have read comments and black propagandas online against my fist pick, Mayor Duterte, it seems I will be losing that hope. Most of us Filipinos are self-serving. Let's look this aspect in a very simple perspective. Commonly we pick our soon to be leaders based on our current situation. Let's relate this matter in the simple traffic problem. Pinoy no. 1 - may sariling sasakyan, natrapik man, at least malamig sa loob ng car nya. Ang hinaing lang, "grabe ang trapik", pero on the other hand, ok lng, di naman naiinitan.
