REMOVING FREEDOM IN the Pinoy Blogosphere?

Sweeping Pinoy Blogosphere? Does that mean sweep the blogosphere with a broom or walis tingting? IS IT REMOVING THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH AS WELL?

A couple of days ago I was able to read one of Reyn's blog regarding this issue. I went to read on his site as well as the other links that lead me to a so called demigod blogger.

Having said that, I found it rather revolting to learn that some bloggers (I would not mention names here since I exercise ethics in this site) are selling themselves to the highest bidder. Yes, they are selling their very souls to corporate Public Relations practitioners (and Malacanang press operators). Worst, some blogger even sold their own colleagues to these reputation agents for reportedly a huge fee. A list supposedly exist, with the names of political and non-political bloggers and given to a politico who reportedly paid this blogger a huge sum.

I was very appalled on what he (demigod blogger)wrote on his blog regarding bloggers who advertise in their site? What is he trying to do? Prevent us from writing what we feel that is right or wrong? So does he mean that we can't blog anymore because we are advertising something or someone in our so called sacred place? And how sure is he that the unnamed bloggers are getting paid for it?

Why oh why, he is stepping on our RIGHT to freedom of speech? He is like detaining us free souls to blog what we want to? How sure is HE that the unnamed blogger is being paid for advertising the so called politician? Why not go directly to the person?

Let's talk about the BILL OF RIGHTS specifically section 4, 7 and 18 (1987 Philippine Constitution)

Article III
BILL OF RIGHTS
(1987 Philippine Constitution)

Section 4. No law shall be passed abridging the freedom of speech, of expression, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances.

Section 7. The right of the people to information on matters of public concern shall be recognized. Access to official records, and to documents and papers pertaining to official acts, transactions, or decisions, as well as to government research data used as basis for policy development, shall be afforded the citizen, subject to such limitations as may be provided by law.

Section 18. (1) No person shall be detained solely by reason of his political beliefs and aspirations.

(2) No involuntary servitude in any form shall exist except as a punishment for a crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted.

For the American Constitution? The FIRST AMMENDMENT

First Ammendment

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

And what about this? Pointing at people? plea?

YOU--YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID--SHAME ON YOU! Shame that you sold your very soul to the highest bidder. Shame that you even sold your friends, telling politicos and marketing managers that you own them when you know in your heart that you don't own anyone. Bloggers are not commodities. We are not for sale!

Everybody who considers himself a member of the Pinoy blogosphere expected this to happen. Like any other field, there will be rotten ones who would corrupt and would offer the poisoned fruit. But, no one, expected it to happen so soon. People like Butch Dado and his lovely wife Noemi, Dang, Janet, JV and all others are trying their darnest best to keep the Pinoy Blogosphere clean as a whistle but this stupid ingrate tried to spoil everything.

To my fellow bloggers, hear my plea---MAKE THE PHILIPPINE BLOGOSPHERE CLEAN. DON'T ALLOW THIS HALLOWED PLACE OF FREE EXPRESSION BE CORRUPTED BY CORPORATE SPONSORSHIPS, POLITICAL OPERATORS AND WHAT HAVE YOU. WE MUST POLICE OUR RANKS. WE MUST STAY CLEAR OF PEOPLE WHO USE US JUST TO PROMOTE A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT, DEFEND A DIRTY POLITICIAN OR DESTROY REPUTATIONS.

BLOGGERS ARE PURE SOULS. BLOGGING IS SACRED. BLOGGING IS THE TRUEST EXPRESSION OF THE SELF. BLOGGING IS OUR "I".

THOSE WHO SOLD THEIR SOULS SHOULD EXPECT THEIR DEATHS VERY SOON. AND I MEAN SOON. (THAT'S FIGURATIVE, FOOL!)

About selling our souls? FYI, it is not his soul that we are selling but our own. Who is he to say that? Is he the new reincarnated Savior of the Human RACE of PINOY BLOGOSPHERE? Come on now, let's cut the crap.. What's wrong with socializing and promoting your site to other people? Is it that bad to let other people know what you think and get their opinions as well..

I know that I am sounding like an old broken recorder. But whenever I blog, as much as possible I try to be discreet. This is my way of releasing my stress and anxiety. When I blog about something, I try to investigate and learn as well what the otherside has to offer, their story..

Well now I know that there are people who are close minded, thinking about benefits that they would receive. Being selfish and all that hoopla.

Are you planning on monopolizing the blogosphere as well? You are acting like you are from an Aryan race! Treating the free spirited bloggers parasites that should be annihalited? Now that's being Adolf Hitler all over! Or just being jealous of the popularity that some other bloggers are getting. This is our so called segregation..

IS IT THAT BAD TO RESPECT SOME ONE'S OPINION? IF YOU WANT TO SCRUTINIZE IT, BE DISCREET ABOUT IT!

Haizt! I'll just watch the bio thing about Saddam Hussien muna!

tschuck...

History Channel: KU KLUX KLAN

Image via WikipediaImage via WikipediaTO LET EVERYONE KNOW I HATE RACISM AS IT LEADS TO NOTHING GOOD. NOTHING GOOD HAPPENS WITH DISCRIMINATION.

Since yesterday, I was watching the History Channel and The National Geographic channel.

The show that got me interested today was about the Ku Klux Klan. Before we go on further, let me give you some snippets about them.

"The first Ku Klux Klan is a secret domestic militant organization that was formed in 1865 confederate army in the United States. The foundations of this organization was to restore white supremacy (aryan race according to Adolf Hitler, that white people are the powerful beings in earth and all other race should be annihilated.) in the after math of The American Civil War. The Klan resisted Reconstruction by intimidating the freedmen and white republicans. The organization declined from 1868 - 1870 & was destroyed by President Clooney's passage and enforcement of the Force Acts of 1870-1871.

The Second Klan was founded during the tensions of the post war in 1915. During this time, numerous waves of immigrants from southern & Eastern Europe, The Great migration of Southern Blacks & whites were being absorbed. Thus leads to KKK's preaching of antisemitism, racism, anti-catholicism and anti-communism.

The third KKK was relived again in the 1950's. They opposed of the Civil Rights Movement. Back then, the members were so active that they bomb houses and killed innocent victims. "

From the snippets that I have just given you, this organization meant business about the so called WHITE SUPREMACY. I think of this as crap. While watching the documentary, I felt tears forming at the ridge of my eyes.

Why would they blame immigrants, blacks & whatsoever for losing their jobs (scarcity I believe). If they had worked harder and persevered, they would not be booted.

What struck me the most was when they bombed a baptist church where 4 innocent children were killed. They believe that intimidation would lead them to supremacy. It's bullshit, no one has the right to persecute another human beings life.

The most shocking event for me was when they changed a name of a city from Birmingham to Bombingham(as the city was being plagued by bombs from the so called radical Klan).

This people, wait I correct myself, this foul disgusting animals should be the ones erased from this planet. This type of people are so bile!

What's the matter with integration? There's nothing wrong with that.

I believe that there is no superior race.

Okay, I need to face reality now. Discrimination is every where, it would never be erased as long as negative people exist. I am very appalled and saddened by the things that I was able to watch. Made me realize that Hypocrisy together with stupidity is still being practiced. I guess it is true that you can't force everyone to like you and such. Just breaks me up into pieces.

I am entitled to my freedom of speech. I am entitled to my own opinion.

Thank You so much for dropping by my spot!

Enjoy the day!
