Long live Jose Maria Sison!

I am always ambivalent every time I hear any news about this guy's continuing persecution, which only serves to fuel his revolutionary delusions. In fact, one of my favorite conspiracy theories is that Sison's closet allies in the Philippines is national security adviser Norberto Gonzales, who has done more than his fair share in making Sison and his comrades more important than they really are.
Well, if justice has to be done, let it take its course, though I support the hypothesis of Joel Rocamora that the cause of Sison and his comrades still shines only because of the slow speed of light. People might be seeing light from a dying star, but because of the delay, what appears bright is already actually dead. But this phenomenon is not unique to the dead Maoist cause.
One other favorite conspiracy theory is that Sison became a celebrated 'revolutionary' in the Philippines primarily because of the help of the Central Intelligence Agency and Benigno Aquino Jr.

All I'm sure of is Joma Sison must be celebrating this most recent episode of 'persecution.' The first and last time I ever talked to this guy, he was lying though his teeth about the history of the revolutionary movement in the Philippines.
