core核心畫面

One way to picture terrorist: someone who uses violence and the fear it spreads as the tool itself — the aim is not the damage but the pressure it puts on a government or a public to give in to a political demand. The word comes from terror, and the fear is the point.

可以想成 terrorist 的畫面比較像「把暴力和它帶來的恐懼當成工具的人」：目的不在破壞本身，而在用這份恐懼逼政府或社會接受某個政治要求。這個字從 terror（恐懼）來，而那份恐懼正是重點。

    • This controversy is quite similar to the red-tagging brouhaha exploded against me by Gabriela and its ilk in the CPP-NPA-NDF legal front. In a Facebook post, I had warned Liza Soberano of the deceptive tactics of the group in recruiting showbiz icons into the communist terrorist insurgency. I was very specific in that post, saying the advice is being issued by a father, a brother or an uncle not wanting to have his daughter, sister or niece led down the road to perdition. The seeming mouthpieces of the CPP hiding in Rappler, Inquirer and Philippine Star suddenly had a heyday slamming me for allegedly red tagging the actress as well as Miss Universe Catriona Gray.
