Ballad of Balangiga
Radioactive Sago Project
Lourd De Veyra / Francis De Veyra
Noong September 27, 1901
Dahil sa treaty of paris
Kung saan
binenta tayo sa mga kano,
At mula noon ay naging kakambal
Na natin ang malas dahil palagi na lang
Tayong damay sa mga away ni Amboy,
Lumusob ang mga anak ni Ankol Sam
At nanunog, nang-rape, namaril,
Nang-torture, nagnakaw sa buong bayan.
Lalong lalo na sa isla ng Samar,
Dumating ang mga ‘kano sa bayan ng Balangiga.
So isang gabi, ang mga magigiting na mamayan
Ng Balangiga ay nagplano:Ihawin na natin ang
Amerikano!Nagsuot sila ng mga damit pambabae
Lumusob ng gabiAt pinagtataga ang mga humihilik na
Amerikanong sundalo
Ito na nga ang naging
Balangiga massacre—Pero massacre para kanino?
Massacre daw ayon sa kasaysayan ng Amerikano.
Paano magiging massacre eh nagtatanggol lang naman tayo?
Pag may pumasok bang magnanakaw
Sa bahay mo at pinatay mo ang magnanakaw
E kasalanan mo pa rin ba yun?
I mean, I hope you don’t mind, and won’t take offense,
But read my lips: we all did it in self-defense
Bumawi ang mga kano—Nag-utos si Gen. Jakob Smith na sunugin ang Samar
“I want you : I want you to kill and burn, the more
you killand burn, the better you will please me!” sabi niya.
And that meant anybody nine years or older,
Marunong magsalita, wasto ang katawan
Lahat kailangang madamay sa madugong katayan.
At iyan po ang ibig sabihin ng benevolent assimilation:
Pang-aabuso, pagnanakaw, assassination
Panloloko, pang-gagago, pang-iinsulto
Kung tratuhin tayo parang kutoAmerica—you’re no longer a country
But a registered trademarkLike the red, white, and blue packets
Just like a hotdog in the park
And after New York and World Trade Center
We say: “We are all Americans.
We are all Americans."
Ikaw na lang.
Wag nang maulit
Pero naulit ang
kasaysayang lagi na lang
Napipilipit.

Look at the way my friend Wesley Virgin's tale starts in this shocking and controversial VIDEO.

Wesley was in the military-and shortly after leaving-he found hidden, "mind control" tactics that the CIA and others used to get whatever they want.

As it turns out, these are the EXACT same secrets tons of celebrities (notably those who "became famous out of nothing") and elite business people used to become rich and successful.

You probably know how you use less than 10% of your brain.

Mostly, that's because the majority of your brainpower is UNCONSCIOUS.

Maybe that thought has even taken place INSIDE OF YOUR very own head... as it did in my good friend Wesley Virgin's head around 7 years ago, while driving an unregistered, beat-up bucket of a car with a suspended driver's license and $3.20 on his debit card.

"I'm so frustrated with going through life paycheck to paycheck! When will I finally make it?"

You've taken part in those types of thoughts, ain't it so?

Your own success story is going to happen. Go and take a leap of faith in YOURSELF.
