Excerpt from JoeAm's Blog Scheduled Monday
Is President Aquino an Idiot?
"The defenders of
this monstrosity of totalitarian intimidation have not a clue as to the grace
and wisdom of Jose Rizal or Thomas Jefferson. They've gone to the best schools
in the world, many in the United States. They have studied law and passed the
bar. They have more diplomas on the wall than Jose dela Cruz has plates in the cupboard.
And they are
stunningly tone deaf about democracy requiring OPEN DOORS to expression. Not
doors with huge, muscular body guards standing by with batons and telescopes
and listening devices and pliers to snip the internet lines, determining who
can pass through."
i confess i dont get the sign. shouldnt it be that the word on the gag is the word that is "gagging" free speech? like, shouldnt it say "tyranny", or "too much govt", or something?
ReplyDeleteYou are free to be confused by it, or not like it, or paint one yourself that makes sense to you. It is rather like an ink blot test. One draws from the art what one draws from the art, and one is thereby defined by what one can extract.
Deleteits not abstract art. its protest art. shouldnt protest art be clearer about what its protesting against?
Deleteis freedom gagging us?
I am just guessing that the gagged head shot is a composite of a silenced JoeAm. Eerie feeling...but if my hunch is right, JoeAm must be a very handsome man!
DeleteKeep dreaming.
DeleteIf this is about the Cybercrime Law, I had a different one in mind. Literal. Ice cubes like a line of dominoes. Moisture rising. The Chilling Effect.

Shouldn't your picture be that of the "Guy Fawke's" character in V for vendetta comic, the smirking face and pencil thin mustache? The Icon of Hacktivists?

It looks like someone lulled to sleep with a false sense of

In other words, hoodwinked! (Cue in the Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again")
