Heneral Luna: Just Another Movie that Glorifies the State and Violence

I don’t buy the hype about Heneral Luna. As far as am concerned it’s another RUSE to distract individuals from awakening to their personal power.

For most who have seen the movie, it supposedly makes people feel patriotic and have love for their country.

But who was General Luna?

What were the forces that drove him?

Like the men of his era, Luna was a freemason – the same society that counted the founding fathers of America – Washington, Franklin.

In fact most of the leaders of the Philippine-Spanish conflict were masons Graciano Lopez Jaena, Dr. Jose Rizal, Marcelo H. del Pilar, Emilio Aguinaldo, Andres Bonifacio, Apolinario Mabini, Jose Alejandrino, Antonio and Juan Luna and many others.

During the American and Japanese era we had Manuel Quezon, Sergio Osmena, Manuel Roxas, Jose Abad Santos, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Gen. Vicente Lim, Dr. Jose P. Laurel, Claro M. Recto, Camilo Osias, Benigno Aquino Sr.

Although Masonry existed in the Philippines even before 1756, the first Filipino initiated was Jacobo Zobel, an ancestor of the Ayala and Zobel Business Empire. In 1871 King Amadeo of Spain appointed Lt. Gen. Rafael de Izquierdo as Governor General of the Philippines. They were both masons.

It was during the term of Grand Master Miguel Morayta in 1889 that masonry was opened to the natives. Others were able to join abroad before that. In April 1, 1889, Graciano Lopez Jaena in Barcelona, Spain founded Lodge Revolucion. This was later dissolved and Lodge Solidaridad was formed. Jose Rizal, Mariano Ponce, Marcelo H. Del Pilar, Jose Alejandrino, Antonio and Juan Luna and Pedro Serrano Laktaw were initiated here. It was this group of intellectuals who petitioned the Spanish Parliament for the restoration of Philippine Parliamentary representation. They called attention to the sad fate of the Philippines that languished under the shadow of intolerance and tyranny. They published the La Solidaridad newspaper to further their cause. They implored the support of masons all over Europe. Marcelo H. del Pilar and Pedro Serrano Laktaw were appointed to organize Philippine Masonry. It was through this secret society that the Noli and Fili were distributed discretely among Filipinos and it took sometime before it was discovered. It had already opened the eyes of Filipino intellectuals.

Andres Bonifacio the great plebeian with fellow masons Valentin Diaz, Teodoro Plata, Ladislao Diwa and Deodato Arellano founded the Katipunan July 7, 1892 in Azcarraga St., Tondo, Manila. Its initiation rites and secrecy was similar to the Freemasons. By 1896 this revolutionary society swelled to 100,000 members. On August 19 of that year Spanish authorities discovered its existence by the confession of the wife of a Katipunero to a parish priest. Many members and sympathizers of the movement were arrested. In August 26, the Cry of Balintawak, was shouted.

Later, a new revolutionary leader arose from Kawit, Cavite. Emilio Aguinaldo was inducted to Freemasonry in Imus January 1, 1895. He was initiated by Bonifacio in the Katipunan. But while Bonifacio believed that the Katipunan should carry on the fight, Aguinaldo as a military leader insisted that a new revolutionary government should be established to supervise the struggle.

On October 31, 1896 Aguinaldo issued at Kawit his manifesto proposing that the new government shall be based on the principles of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity the motto of masonry.

Today, all branches of the Philippine government is filled with masons. The business groups are also filled with masons. Don’t you know that ex PNP Chief Alan Purisima of Mamasapano fame is the Grand Master of the Philippine freemasons?

But I digress.

Behind the vivid imagery, the melodrama, and the captivating music – you, the viewer, are made to forget, justify, and feel good about the violence because it is for “love of country”. And that’s the con – the illusion that Heneral Luna’s life is a valid reason for loving one’s country.

Seriously, why in the world should you love the state, a vague Rohrscach entity that can be molded according to the whims of the current tyrant that lives, feeds, and depends on your income for its very existence?

Because Heneral Luna died for it, Aguinaldo killed for it, the Spaniards wanted to keep it, and the Americans wanted to get it for themselves?

What does that tell you really? It should tell you that the state is a magnet for sociopaths.

Do you want to be ruled, taxed and regulated to death by sociopaths?

Does it matter if the sociopath is foreign (Spanish or American) or local (Filipino/Mestizo/Chinoy/Malay) ?

Does it matter if the tyranny was imposed suddenly (by conquest) or gradually (via elections) ?

Who benefits from the tyranny?

I can understand why people banded together against the tyranny of the feudal order.

What I don’t understand is how people were conned into replacing the tyranny of the medieval order with the tyranny of the secular state?

As far as am concerned, the movie Heneral Luna is just a signal is that Philippine moviemakers have the capability to create more spiffy images that evoke feelings in the tradition of Hollywood’s fakery and mind control agenda. It exemplifies politics as a theatrical performance used to mask the violent exploitation of other people.

Spare yourself the trouble and use that money to empower yourself instead of programming your mind to become another slave of the state.
