No tyrants where there are no slaves...


Who will not agree with this statement of our national hero Jose Rizal whose death by firing squad 120 years ago we commemorate today.

While I do not disagree with this statement, I now realize that tyranny is not a simple one man affair of a despot oppressing powerless people consigned to slavery.

Tyranny is a conspiracy of evil men and it is not possible without an organization of knowing and willing cohorts and supporters. To defeat it, we must not only destroy its head but also dismantle its structure and exact punishment from the participants.

Being committed to fight tyranny and ensure its eternal defeat is the best way to honor and our heroes.
