			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Georgia;">I love our country. I really do. But guess what. Our brilliant government handed over a Human Rights Report to the United Nations for a Universal Periodic Review and the thing, apparently, was a fraud. What kind of country would we have to be called if even our top officials are scumbag liars? Fraud, you may say is a huge word. And indeed, it fucking is. It was twisted to show we’re all doing dandy. Dandy my hairy ass – extra-judicial killings and forced disappearances have risen in our country since the year 2006. Now, you’re saying, so what? You’ve been hearing these words tossed around for all this time, but do you fucking even know what it means? Lennart, do you? Kevin? Inna? Obviously, no. Well, here. Wikipedia says (and I quote):</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Georgia;"> </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><em><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Georgia;">“Extra-judicial killings are the illegal killing of leading political, trades union, dissident and/or social figures by either the state government, state authorities like the armed forces and police… or by criminal outfits such as the Italian Mafia.”</span></em></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><em><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Georgia;"> </span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Georgia;">So, generally, my friends, the fucking state is killing its own leaders. Are we so fucked up that monkeys own us now? Can you imagine a place where the most dangerous people are the people on top? You know how many extra-judicial kills there have been since our current president’s rise to power? 835. See that number? That’s big. You don’t fucking go around a place and be <em>proud </em>that not one, not two, not a hundred but <em>eight-hundred and thirty-five </em>of your leaders have been slain by either the government, their fucking private armies or the mafia! And I’m pretty sure if we have a mafia here in the Philippines, they fucking suck because I haven’t heard of them. Sixteen countries in the UN expressed concern during this Human Rights Universal Periodic Review regarding our apparent problem with top-idiots killing themselves. That didn’t stop the government from saying that everything went well. It fucking didn’t. For the love of God, the only people applauding during the presentation of the said fraud document were the 40-people huge Philippine congregation. The assertions they made were superfluously slip-slope. It was inconsistent, it was blotchy; a fucking third grader who researched for two days and addressed how great the country was could’ve done better. Yes, it’s an exaggeration – but these people are our leaders, man! They are supposed to be top dogs in this archipelago and aside from being complete assholes who argue a lot to the point of killing themselves, they even <em>lie </em>to a world authority on our current state. Do they fucking think they can get away with fooling more than a third of the world? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Georgia;"><span> </span>Do me a favor. Tell me what you think. Think I’m wrong? With me absolutely? Think the senate is a bunch of creepy old people who like jacking each other off with big words? Comment. Your opinion counts, and it’ll help me big time. Also, the next time a law is passed or a political speech is given, just remember how much fucks those people actually are. </span></p>
