"In the dark times, will there also be singing? Yes, there will be singing about the dark times." - Brecht

About me

User: kr.guda
Unbeknownst to strangers who heard him sing in videoke, Crooner KR Guda did not have formal training in music, apart from a brief stint as a bass voice singing "Times of Your Life" during high school. Nowadays, he busies himself writing about politics and culture and studying photojournalism. As a journalist covering human rights issues, he is what can aptly be described by that John Berger quote: "Truly we writers are the secretaries of death." (Thanks to newly-sanctioned poet Teo Marasigan for that one)

Maguindanao: A showcase of Philippine democracy

I have never been to Maguindanao, so I until recently did not know how they hold their elections there. Sure "Hello Garci" made known to all of us the extent of cheating possible in Mindanao. Its just that, while I took Garci's and Gloria's words for it, I never realized it was that bad. I never realized how serious those guys were in doing their jobs. To the extent that whole careers perhaps were built upon electoral cheating.

A source in Maguindanao told me how low our so-called democracy had sunk. He says there have scarcely been elections in the province since 1998. Leaders, particularly one named Andal Ampatuan, literally told them what to do -- which is either to stay away from polling areas or vote his way. Ampatuan himself, and a host of administration functionaries, tried to justify this by saying it's all part of Muslim culture, the "shua", or a practice of consultative leadership in Muslim states. Well I'm no Muslim scholar (I'm neither Muslim nor a scholar, for that matter), but I do know Muslims have their own conscience. Muslims think, and are free to decide for themselves and choose their own leaders (guided, that is, by certain restrictions). The MILF, in answer to Ampatuan's claim, said as much. And being the rebel group fighting for a Muslim state in Mindanao, I'd say they would know what they were talking about.

The source, a barangay captain for a villiage in Maguindanao (he asked that his village and municipality not be named for fear of being traced), said that a week before the actual voting, mayors in most of Maguindanao's 22 municipalities were summoned by Ampatuan himself right in his office in Shariff Aguak. In the meeting, Ampatuan allegedly ordered the mayors to have voters in their respective areas vote for Team Unity and the local administration bets.  He then supposedly distributed sample ballots containing the names of the said candidates. It was an order they could not refuse.

A few days later, the mayor in our source's municipality similarly summoned barangay captains like him to the mayor's office. They were given the order: tell folks in their respective areas to vote Team Unity and administration. The sample ballots were distributed. In the dead of the night between May 13 and 14, some election inspectors reportedly went to work with the ballot. In many areas, there were no need for voters to report to their precints. In other areas, some voters would go through the motions of voting. That is, according to the sample ballot.

In one municipality, at least, there was some semblance of an actual voting. It was the Pagalungan town, and two prominent political clans were fighting it out in the local. So there had to be some voting, if only to decide which local bet wins. Ampatuan himself tried to dissuade both clans from fielding opposing candidates -- a contest in the local would be too much of a hassle.

In the wake of claims of cheating in Mindanao -- thanks to a conscience-stricken election inspector confessing to Lente that she helped fill out ballots in the dead of the night -- Comelec was compelled to set aside the Maguindanao canvass. It tasked Commissioner Rene Sarmiento to investigate. Yesterday, Sarmiento resigned from the investigation task force, saying he was kinda sick. Of what, we we're not sure.

Speaking of, Philipinos have EVERYTHING going against them:::::
1. "Their blood is garbage." The gods sent many Asian invaders in to rape the Philipino women. I understand the women have a "rape complex" because of it, not unlike the Africans hypersexuality complex.
2. They have an association with the United States.
3. They are Roman Catholic.
4. They have a burgeoning homosexuality problem.
5. They have a growing terrorism issue.






Time/priveledge level
When you make mistakes you impact not only how much time you get up there but also your privelege level (no Planet Miracle vacations) and also imposes a ceiling on how far you can ascend no matter how well you do up there, for in The Real End they will only keep planets over Level ?.




Never forget the Italian geographic clue, for it can allieviate confusion::::
The gods have total control over the entire planet, script its history precisely and all that you see around you are tools used to mislead and tempt.

Many of you understand clone hosting, for they told you when you "die out" you would be granted a clone host body.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They share they use the preditory nature of Microsoft (preditory pricing, stole Windows from Apple) to justify manipulating files and directories with the XP Operating System. The less-celebrated Windows 2000 is supposed to be a sanctuary for the disfavored from this type of behavior as well as a clue.
The manipulation of files and directories with the XP OS has cost the disfavored promotions and prevented them from ascending within the corporate enviornment.




As sports memorabilia collectors learn more about the god's system they realize what they are doing is wrong. As light is shed people realize none of this material has value, and the more people understand the less value it retains. Whether the gods tell people to keep the price high ARTIFICIALLY is a different issue::::There is less demand and therefore prices should naturally fall. People just need to defy when told to buy, a common tactic the gods employ in the marketplace.
These people who trade/sell after they understand this issue hurt themselves. They incurr evil because they now know they are hurting others. This also applies to selling DVDs, CDs and software.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good food is much like good music to a culture:::Distraction and revelry, a way to minimize the number of people who ascend.
This is nicely reflected in traditional Jewish foods.

Another example Italians are grossly disfavored are their foodstuffs::::
Tomatos are highly acidic and provides an "open door" for the gods to inflict upon those whom they so chose. Pasta is very starchy and fattening.
Italian food creates fat people with stomach problems. Expect Etruscan strongholds (Rome) to be those whom traditionally maintained this type of diet.
They gods smoothly translated this food into the American culinary landscape, for they have inflicted all the worst disfavored pureblood motherlands have to offer on the land of the disfavored mongrol reject castoffs (rot-gut food,.Celtic "holiday" of Halloween, etc).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Individuality is a scourge upon the people, an advent seen in recent decades, popularized when the gods implimented their greatest offensive on the disfavored:::::::::The 1960s.
It may be the worst offensive ever employed on the disfavored, for this platform in the SanFranciscoBayArea spread this cancer globally, a "leveling of the playing field" event which further the gods efforts to justify ending on Planet Earth.
Asians are the most favored race of people on Planet Earth::::Their wonderfully rich cultures helped the people understand and pursue lives highly respected by the gods. Conformity is a big theme among Asian cultures.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

News story about Camp LeJune in North Carolina regarding Marines getting cancer from "toxic water". They scapegoat a local dry cleaner.
It came from the camp, and I suspect some of those stationed there did the actual dumping. We've seen this type of behavior in Concord, causing an inordinantly high mental retardation rate within select neighborhoods.
They scripted the dry cleaner strategy because they want this demographic to continue with their current behavior. A major scandal like this among the red states' military meatheads would shake their confidence to the core and initiate permanent change.

Depending on their disfavor/progress the gods will tell people whatever it takes to get them to continue their behavior uninteruptted. Officially it is classified as temptation.
A supermajority of the deaths that are ocurring in Iraq are real. Telling the disfavored their son was saved is a lie designed to maintain the perception of trust, corruptability and to ensure the disfavored's destructive pattern of behavior coninues uninterrupted:::
1. They beemed their brain out and into a clone host before death.
2. They were a clone all long, got out as a child and the child is waiting for you in "heaven".
3. They switched them out with a clone before the incident/Iraq.
4.
5.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following is an OUTSTANDING example of reverse positioning::::::
The gods used this “Manifest Destiny” positioning to create a new reality, minimizing the good things about the old world and emphisizing the bad things. Wine is one such an example.
Wine is positioned to be a blessing from the gods, a fruitful bounty as a reward to a favored people. The reality is quite the opposite.
The Mediterreanean region is grossly disfavored:::This IS the region targeted by the gods for the Noah’s Flood event (Straight of Gibralter broke through inundating the basin and killing untold millions).
There was a time, not so long ago, when no self-respecting woman would EVER take a drink. Alcohol is a masculinizer, a tool used to abuse the disfavored, and cultures which fuck you for affecting my writing CHEATER. This is MY TIME PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS PIGS!!!
cultures which include women in the revelry are grossly disfavored.
The masculinization of Etruscan/Roman/Italian women justified inflicting these people with the scourge of the Roman Empire. Wine made it happen.

Too many think they saved many during the Noah's Flood event. I suspect black people are very confused regarding their current state and I think this topic can shed light::::
These people living seaside on the Mediterranean during times of lower sea levels were slated for Termination. They were teetering on the brink for a long time. Expect that the gods offered clues prior to the event.
If the gods wanted to save any of these people they would given them a second chance by sending them to higher ground.
Count on very few being saved, and those whom were are the Ned Flanders rather than the Homer Simpsons.

They utilize role models in the black community and elsewhere to help the disfavored understand.
Ned Flanders.
Much as they have scripted for the Apocalypse, expect the gods to only have saved THEIR PEOPLE prior to the Flood.
The Second Coming of Christ is evil.

"We don't want a bunch of Mexicans showing up at Temple."::::::Please share with the audience about the cases of the disfavored attending Temple whom you are "persuading" to leave, ultimately with "hands-on" tactics. When you find the path there will be similar preditory tacitcs at your place of work, among your friends, even within your family.
You must navigate the god's tretcherous waters:::Tretchery is everywhere.


Breaking the temperance laws of the Roaring '20s was temptation which is still fucking the disfavored all to hell 80 years later.


You people aren't god-fearing anymore. You think you're partners. Everything they've promised was always a lie. Officially it is classified as temptation. They offered this clue in the Bible:::There is no freewill.
If you are afraid, if you are fearful it is a good thing. You are thinking right, and far too many will never get to this point.
Try to take this fear with you everywhere you go, for it will help you think correctly and make good decisions.


Your virginity may buy you tens of thousands of years up there.

So many of you homeschoolers recognize the cancer that is the public school system yet allow cable television into your home, defeating the purpose.


Love god, but NOT before your children:::god will lie to you, call it "temptation":::::We will ALL be held to the responsibilities entrusted to us, no matter what they request telepathically nor what temptations contradict this::Professional responsibilities, family responsibilities.
Many parents believe their relationship with the gods is more important than their obligation to their children and it is going to cost them.
