The Cry of a People Without Help or Recourse…

We, the unfortunate, the powerless, the led, the governed, the responsible and irresponsible citizens, the simple non-citizen individuals, the destitute, the unlucky, the oppressed, in short, the unarmed innocents, are at bay. We are caught in a labyrinth like no other, enduring a gangocratic regime.

What characterizes this quagmire in which we are floundering?

1. Uncertainty: we have been in it for about seven (7) years and do not know how to get out, when to get out, or where to get out. Because, since 2018, a spiral of violence has relentlessly escalated against the weak. This violence is growing crescendo, as if we are enduring an implacable torment for a crime committed. But what wrong have we done? What are we accused of to be thrown into this unspeakable infernal cycle?

2. Confusion: we, the people, are confused, not knowing by which entity we are supposed to be governed. Some thought it was by the “State,” a State subcontracted by other powerful States; others thought and still think that, on the contrary, we are under the governance of a terrorist coalition created, maintained, arranged, legalized, and guaranteed by this puppet State, carefully manipulated by foreign superpowers, themselves co-creators of the mercenary terrorist coalition.

3. Amalgamation: previously, the people thought there was one enemy: the terrorists claiming “VIV NAN SAN,” and then an ally-defender: the State. But ultimately, we realize that the interests of both the “State” and the terrorists of “living in blood” are entirely convergent. If this is the case, the rulers of both resemble each other. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. It goes without saying that these two entities, holding the right of death and power over our lives, represent the two wings of the same vulture, with the weakened people as their prey.

4. Despair: given that as days pass, the darkness thickens, and no glimmer appears on the horizon, there is a sense of collapse, overwhelmingness, even a defeatist feeling, unless there is a final popular surge to redeem the people. For only the people can free themselves from the lion's mouth. Especially when the distinction between terrorists and the State is not clear and sharp. The boundaries between the State and the other predatory entity are too impermeable. That is where the shoe pinches.
