Mastermind undermined the rights of the underdog

      The underdog by now, as in wrestling, is decked and kept under.  But his staying power is keeping him to continue the fight.


       When the impeachment court declared that the trial would be more on the political than on the judicial process that at times rules on judicial proceedings are put aside.  Hence, being more of a political exercise the opinion of the public counts.
         We recall  Pulse Asia, released lately the results of its poll survey showing the chief justice with the lowest approval rating at 14 percent compared to Noynoy's  72 percent, Enrile's 71 percent and Binay's 84 percent.  Yet, for the chief justice the struggle continue and the fight and fight again strategy is underway.  As to whether the underdog will get over, deprived of the purse to finance a public opinion propaganda offensive, a necessity in a purported political process, that his opponents had been doing since the start of the trial, with unlimited funding, - the answer my friend is not blowing in the wind but in the dribbling minds of the judges.
     A Chinese proverb says, "Wise men make their own opinion but the ignoramuses follow public opinion".
     
                                 -    -    -
 As Noynoying is an art of lazying and so is forming and creating public opinion using propaganda initiated by the media.   Adolf Hitler once said that people if constantly bombarded by propaganda can be made to see hell as paradise.
   I don't know who said this, 'public opinion is the worst opinion, oftentimes created by funded propagandists through organizing the ignorance of the community, by psychological manipulations in order to bring it into a credible physical  force.'


    Many of those interviewed by Pulse Asia do not know or care to know the true issues in the impeachment trial. That for the propagandists to be successful  in its campaign it becomes necessary that the people do not understand the real issues at hand.
    Today, we do not have a tyrant, that led many to believe that the real tyrant at this point in time is public opinion,-'the media'.
    They say that democracy and public opinion go hand in hand in harmony.  And be that as it may I sure love democracy.  As one US president had said long ago, "Democracy is problematic and fallible but all the rests are horrible."
