Evil comes disguised as ‘Good’

Underhand are the ways of Liberal Party standard bearer Sen. Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino, as well as the LP itself.

He holds clandestine meetings with active and retired Philippine Military Academy (PMA) officers, then claims that he met with them separately to find out what their role and response would be, in the event of a failure of elections and electoral fraud in May.

He justified his talks with these PMAyers as being part of his status as a public servant, and that the military officers are part of the public he serves.

Even granting that these military officers are part of the public he serves, what does this “serving” have to do with meeting them separately and finding out what the role and response of these same officers would be, should poll failure and electoral fraud occur?

Noynoy, apparently, isn’t bright at all, since he always gets caught at his lie with his statements, as the fish is caught with its mouth.

If the talks were “innocent” and merely Noynoy’s way of serving the military, as he claims, instead of this really being political partisan talk that would even include recruiting some of these PMA officers for a staged coup being planned by Noynoy and his yellows — in preparation for their rehearsed move made to look spontaneous as they tried to make the elite Edsa ll revolt “spontaneous,” but failed — when the count will show that Noynoy loses the presidential race, why even bother to ask these military officers what their role and response would be?

If these military officers are professional and follow the Constitution, as it is being claimed by their chiefs, what else would their role and response be, if not to follow lawful orders, one of which would be for them not to engage in any partisan political activity — including participating in coups d’etat.

So why should Noynoy and the officers even talk about their role and response in the event of a failure of the polls and election fraud?

Then too, as Noynoy has confirmed that he has been holding talks separately with active and military officers — including Class ’77, whose officers were bypassed for promotions that were in turn given to Class ’77 — what purpose did he have in seeking answers to the role and response of retired military officers following a failed poll and electoral fraud?

Funny though, even as Noynoy admitted to his holding such talks with the military officers, these PMAyers denied that such talks occurred, which means that these same officers knew that these talks and meetings with Noynoy were definitely clandestine, and more to the point, very political and even illegal--as in recruiting them for a coup. They know that if caught by their superiors, they would be court martialed if not canned.

In trying to save his hide, Noynoy issued that press statement on his meetings with the PMA officers, to make it appear that these meetings were not clandestine, without thought of placing these officers in hot water, and that they would have to deny these meetings with the LP bet.

Well, he really isn’t bright at all.

After all, if these talks were not clandestine, and if, as claimed by Noynoy, he was merely serving the military, since it is part of his public service, why then did he not seek permission from higher authorities for an open meeting with all these military officers and ask the same questions? Why meet them separately and even discuss what their response and role would be under that dire scenario?

That he and his yellows are planning to grab power, in the hope of repeating Edsa 1986 where his mother was propelled to Malacañang, even after her loss in the polls, has been fairly established with these meetings with the PMAyers.

And he has the line to them, as former Defense Chief Avelino Cruz, is a yellow supporter who definitely keeps his links with the military. Also, Cruz was part and parcel of the 2001 coup d’etat that installed Gloria in Malacañang.

Plans for a yellow power grab are certainly afoot. Voters, beware. Evil comes disguised as “Good.”
