Josa Sison 是誰，為什麼他在菲律賓歷史和政治中如此具有爭議性？
Josa Sison 是誰，為什麼他在菲律賓歷史和政治中如此具有爭議性？
他是著名的菲律賓共產主義叛亂分子、恐怖分子和暴力分子。Joma Sison這個名字你真的不應該在我居住的偏遠城鎮和村莊的省份提及——因為錯誤的耳朵可能會聽到你說出它，並認為你是同情者或盟友；被視為其中任何一個都是危險的。
Jose Maria “Joma” Sison出生於菲律賓呂宋島最北部省份一個富裕的 Ilokano 家庭，是一個享有特權的人。他的家族屬於政治精英，他的叔祖父和祖先是州長和掌權者。然而，西松被驅使到一個不同的目的——社會主義革命，推翻菲律賓政府並在群島建立共產主義。受毛澤東的影響，西松拿起武器反對他自己的政府。
在 1970 年代，西松領導著 CPP——菲律賓共產黨。他還參與並領導了其武裝部門 NPA——新人民軍。與菲律賓總統費迪南德·埃德拉林·馬科斯 (Ferdinand Edralin Marcos) 的政權作戰時，西松直接從中國人那裡獲得資金，新人民軍直接從北京秘密獲得武器和彈藥。叛軍無情地襲擊了政府軍。西松本人在戰鬥中被俘並被關押到 1987 年，當時他在一場推翻馬科斯的民眾運動後獲釋。
Joma Sison 被釋放後立即逃往國外，因為他感到自己有生命危險。他去了荷蘭，尋求政治庇護。他沒有獲得庇護，但他的律師辯稱，西松不能被驅逐出境，因為如果他再次踏上菲律賓的土地，他可能會被殺。結果，年邁的共產主義叛亂領袖獲准留在荷蘭烏得勒支市，他在那里安家。2005 年，他因涉嫌在國外舒適的生活中下令謀殺數名 NPA 領導人而被短暫拘留. 由於缺乏牽連西鬆的直接證據，他再次獲釋。他與妻子、四個孩子和十個孫子住在荷蘭。他還有一個相當活躍的“個人崇拜”，據報導他過得很愉快，為客人、家人和朋友舉辦了奢華的派對。
精心打造自己的“品牌”，這位年長的恐怖分子被稱為菲律賓共產主義的慈祥老面孔、文人墨客、政治活動家；一個他喜歡的角色，儘管是一個不值得的角色，它消除了那麼多死於他的手或他的召喚的人的痛苦。他度過了遠離痛苦和苦難的日子，擺脫了他邪惡意識形態的真正人類代價，不必面對它的受害者，不必處理它的傷亡，因為他和他的親人過著高尚的生活。
Jose Maria Sison 於 2022 年 12 月 17 日去世，享年 83 歲。他在第一世界國家過了幾十年的舒適生活後去世，而他在菲律賓的戰友們則在小山區社區、山谷和叢林中死去，過著平淡無奇的生活。簡單的生活，因為他們繼續伏擊自己國家的士兵。

Joma Sison was a Filipino Voldemort
He was an elderly Communist rebel, a terrorist and a man of violence. His name a name you really shouldn’t mention down in the provinces, in the remote towns and villages I dwelled — for the wrong ears might hear you speak it and think of you as either a sympathiser or an ally; and being both was dangerous.
Born into a wealthy Ilokano family in the northernmost province of the island of Luzon, the Philippines, Jose Maria “Joma” Sison was a man of privilege. His family belonged to the political elites, his great-uncles and ancestors being governors and men of power. Sison, however, was driven to a different purpose — a socialist revolution, an overthrow of the Filipino government and establishing Communism in the archipelago. Influenced by Mao Zedong, Sison took up arms against his own government.
In the 1970s, Sison ran the CPP — Communist Party of the Philippines. He also was involved, and the leader of, its armed wing, the NPA — New People’s Army. Fighting against the regime of Filipino president Ferdinand Edralin Marcos, Sison secured funding from the Chinese directly, with the NPA getting weapons and ammunition in secret, directly from Beijing. The rebel group attacked government troops relentlessly. Sison himself was captured in battle and imprisoned until 1987, when he was freed after a popular movement overthrew Marcos.
Joma Sison, immediately upon being freed, fled abroad as he felt in danger of his life. He went to the Netherlands, asking for political asylum. He was not granted asylum, but his lawyers argued that Sison could not be deported because he might be killed if he would set foot on Filipino soil again. As a result, the aging Communist rebel leader was allowed to stay in the city of Utrecht, the Netherlands, where he made his home. In 2005 he was detained briefly on suspicion of ordering the murders of several NPA leaders from his comfortable life abroad.
Due to a lack of direct evidence implicating Sison, he was freed once more. He lived in the Netherlands with his wife, four children and ten grandchildren close to his side. He also had quite an active “cult of personality” going on, and reportedly lived it up rather well, throwing lavish parties for guests, family and friends. Carefully building his ‘brand’, the elderly terrorist became known as the kindly old face of Filipino communism, a grand man of letters, a poltical activist; a role he relished in, albeit an undeserving one that erased the suffering of so many who died by his hand or at his call.
Jose Maria Sison died on December 17, 2022 at the age of 83. He died after living a comfortable life in a first world country for decades, while his comrades in the Philippines perish in little mountain communities, in valleys and jungles, living plain and simple lives as they continue to ambush the soldiers of their own nation.
