It's rich that miserably defeated Presidential candidate Leni Robredo, fresh from a university tour in the United States, is now making the rounds of the usual liberal democratic (read: woke) platforms, preaching "disinformation." This is the same line she kept repeating — hilariously quoting herself, which is hardly a source of edification for the few who attended her lectures — that she lost the election due to false information. Verily, she gives validity to the new adage that: "Those who can, win the Presidency; those who can't, lecture in US universities."

I say it's rich for Robredo, or any Yellow or their latest Pink iteration, to rant and rave about false information, since they have been the architect of many of the most outrageous black propaganda. I am old enough to remember pamphlets bearing the image of Imelda Marcos' head affixed upon the naked body of another (unidentified) person.

There were also rumors started by the Liberals in the 1970s that Bongbong Marcos was no longer him, but a double, the real one having been killed in London (if true, then that body double is now one lucky son-of-a-gun).

And how about Imee Marcos supposedly being really the daughter of Mayor Lacson? Indeed, the start of the thirty-year Yellow reign (mercifully ended by Duterte), was founded on a big lie: That it was Cory, and not Marcos Sr., who won the snap elections of 1986. This notwithstanding that the official count by the Commission on Elections said otherwise, and the duly-elected members of Parliament proclaimed Marcos winner.

Never one to let the truth get in the way of a good power grab, the Yellows staged-managed a walkout by Namfrel volunteers and engineered a civil disobedience movement that, aided and abetted by the United States, eventually culminated in the ouster of Marcos.

Since then, it's been one lie after the other. The Aquino Revolutionary Government started calling the Marcoses the biggest thieves in history and gleefully pointed to a Guinness Book of World Records entry to that effect (which has been removed, presumably for having been since found baseless). Tarring and feathering everything associated with the Marcos regime as tainted with corruption (evidence to the contrary be damned), Cory's cronies lost no time selling off government assets, including the crown jewels of our government-owned corporations, Petron, and a great part of it to a foreign company at that! They also seized the assets of many corporations under the guise of "sequestration," and many went to favored friends and relatives. One of the country's biggest newspapers, the Daily Express, was killed off.

The examples of Yellow hypocrisy and misinformation are legion. Just of recent memory, we have Noynoy trying to cover up the actual casualties of typhoon "Yolanda," bloating the figures of Chief Justice Renato Corona's dollar deposits during his impeachment trial, putting the blame on hundreds of Dengvaxia vaccine deaths on everyone and everything but his precipitate dealing to have an untested vaccine administered to children of school age in an effort to boost — not their immunity to dengue — but Mar Roxas' floundering campaign. I could go on and on, but I am limited to six hundred and fifty words.

Suffice it to state that the hypocrisy is shockingly appalling, as the Robredo line regarding "disinformation" was echoed by, among others, Rappler, a news organization whose key officials have been convicted of cyberlibel for playing fast and loose with the truth regarding a private person, and making their conviction an issue of press freedom (which it is not and never will be), and a blogger of meager mental abilities, who was forced — under threat of cyberlibel charges — to apologize publicly to a known academic for calling the latter a "prostitute."

Those who peddle information that makes the public confused and dizzy should not be heard to complain about it. Such duplicity is exclusively within the province of losers.
