One of the CPP-NPA led protest rally against the US.
Anti Imperialist-Capitalist honcho bails out with little help from “Uncle Sam”. Militants turning into flip-flopping “mutants”?
Dr. Oliver Jimenez, criminally charged and arrested for funding NPA-led harassments and riddling multiple murder cases victimizing civilians in Negros Oriental seeks “refuge” to the U.S Congress.
On February 17 of this year, the Philippine Embassy based in Washington DC received quite an alarming notice emanating from the US House Committee on Foreign Affairs and Democratic Staff Director of the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission regarding an inquest on suppose danger faced by above mentioned activist in the hands of the AFP. As stipulated by Jimenez on his letter appealing so far for a US-intervention on his case, he presumes that “agents” under the AFP are out to silence him for good. That is, after he had been implicated as an active member of the Communist Party and is in fact heading legitimate NGOs that finances the NPA-Central Visayas Regional Party Committee. And with the current intrusion of an appeal to re-examine the charges against Jimenez, the trial on progress are sure facing a stall while likewise “manipulated” by unnecessary international attention.
And ironically, Jimenez who should know better after having been a renowned militant activist is actually exploiting the US-Phil International relations for his benefit. If this is the case, is it not right that those rallyists who stood behind Jimenez for years clamoring against the US supposed imperialist hold on the country are at a question of “integrity”? These butt fired militants who easily change their resolves once their neck lie on the line are nothing less than our disgusting political butterflies. They could turn backs easily on their so-called belief for nothing less than having freed from persecution or trial.
Apparently, Jimenez who once hated US policy on Philippine soil is himself enjoying it to no avail.
Unfortunately, the U.S Congress was either idiotic to even back him up on this one. Or, should we just say the said foreign country was simply expressing “democratic freedom” in its entirety even if it means extending it to those who wish for its downfall?
Militants like Jimenez are indeed a sight for sore eyes. This is the very reason why the Communist chauvinists in the country are at question. They have fallible ideologies other than their known impulse to abuse Filipinos in the countryside. So who’s the Imperialist controlling the Philippines at this point?
Jimenez was practically dragging international relations on his case in the intent that he’d get acquitted. Selfish and alarmingly abusive.
