The Fi-Am War as RACIST War of Invasion
Sa mga hindi pa nakakaalam, the American invasion/annexation of the Philippines was a RACIST war. Ininsulto, niyurakan ang ating pagkabansa, kultura, pagkatao, kakayanan, at pati histura. Para ano? Para sa MERKADO ng hilaw at yari nang produkto.
Kapal ng propaganda. Mas sibilisado pa nga tayo sa kanilang Kalbong Agila sila dahil bago pa man dumating ang mga Kastila, pantay na ang katayuan ng babae at lalaki sa ating bayan.
Pre-Spanish Philippine/Taga-Ilog society gave women the right to engage in commerce, equal rights as men, equal inheritance, and also the right to rule. Compare that to the U.S. which gave their women the right to vote only in the early 1900s and which deprived widows of inheritance as late as the 1800s.

Ang tunay na "barbaro," mabangis, at hindi sibilisado ay yung NAGKALAKAL ng TAO (slavery) at bumili/nagbenta ng isang buong arkipelago sampu nang mga naninirahan/may-ari nito (say, the immoral 1898 Treaty of Paris).
Hindi laman yun. Nang pumalag ang mga Pilipinas/Taga-Ilog at naglunsad ng digmaan para sa ipaglabanan ang kalayaan, ang Estados Unidos ay gumamit ng umaatikabong panlilinlang, water cure torture, reconcentration camps, at iba pang barbarong paraan para magapi at mapasunod ang ating bayan.
4 FEBRUARY 1899
ReplyDelete1899 - The Philippine-American War (1899-1914) is begun by a United States sentry who shoots and kills a Filipino soldier making an attempt to cross the bridge in Sta. Mesa, Manila under the vile pre-arranged plan of US Pres...ident William M...cKinley to precipitate a war in the bid to trick the Senate to approve the Treaty of Paris and thus secure funding for military operations to annex the Philippines as part of the imperialist policy for Bald Eagle's overseas expansion; the sentry tasked with the dirty job is Pvt. William Grayson, killing Filipino Corporal Anastacio Felix of the 4th Company, Morong Battalion under Captain Serapio Narvaez, with Col. Luciano S. San Miguel as battalion commander; the Treaty would be approved in the US Senate by a margin of one vote from the required two-thirds majority and the war of invasion would be officially declared over on July 4, 1902 by US President Theodore Roosevelt but the last major battle will occur in 1913, with hostilities not ceasing until the following year; the Filipino-American War will sometimes be called as America's 'first Vietnam' in reference to what would be a historical pattern of genocide against Asians/non-Westerners, what with the enemy invading Americans inflicting much dislocation, devastation, suffering, torture, massacres and pillaging on the Filipino freedom fighters and including the civilian native population.
