Hello, the Philippines was the first Iraq, the first Vietnam, the first colony of America. After “annexing” us, when they fought a mock battle against the Spaniards, they erased our memory thru the boatloads of teachers nicknamed “Thomasites”. I graduated highschool in 1991 in UP Visayas, and still, merican History was part of our curriculum.

It was a systematic “brainwashing” technique where we regularly read [my mothers generation sang it along with Lupang Hinirang] “Philippines my Philippines” which includes the lines “…Friendly with America…”. This made us forget how US gunboats parked in Cebu threatening to bomb the city if not ceded, etc, things like that.
Rizal, the non-violent Filipino was “decided” by the American teachers and masters to be our Hero; as well as the lowly and little pest, the “maya” as our national bird, and even the logo of UP is a parrot! We[Filipinos] were simply going to be “parroting” our American Masters.

It is insightful to understand that these same tools are being applied to Iraq now, brainwashing of generations, but is ineffective because of the internet and satellite news, or cellphones with video.

So, why take the Philippines? A lot of reasons, like The Phils is America’s doorway to Asia [and China] then. But after WW2, they got Japan, which is nearer.

Here is probably a major reason aside from the Phils military significance in global location. Remember the illegal federal reserve in 1913; the consolidation of US gold in Fort Knox, and similar incidents? The Philippines has always been a gold exporter. And our mountains were teeming of gold! Spanish Conquistadores were awed that even our DOORS ARE LINED WITH GOLD! Our timber wealth is also fantastic, as it was virtually inexhaustible. Spain declared it could build more than 10ships a year and our forests cannot feel it.

So, gold, consolidation of it, was part of the plan, and it is not well-known. The motivation is real.
This is where the Philippines comes in the piece of the global power consolidation puzzle. We were also the colony where various new forms of control like education could be tested. Anything the IMF says, our govt does, for we never knew a life, a govt without it.

Please google “The moneymasters” and watch. It will enlighten you with a lot of things, especially Filipinos, and our current state of perpetual poverty.

Currently, there is a people power in America—The leader is a Republican Presidential candidate Ron Paul.
He will try to dismantle this financial opression of the Philippines.

IMAGINE A PHILIPPINES WITHOUT FOREIGN DEBT!
IMAGINE A PHILIPPINES WITHOUT INFLATION!
IMAGINE A PHILIPPINES UNACCOUNTABLE TO THE IMF, THE FEDERAL RESERVE, THE WORLDBANK, THE US MILITARY!
IMAGINE A PHILIPPINES FREE OF DEBT, THUS ABLE TO BUILD ROADS, BRIDGES, AIRPORTS, BUILDINGS, INDUSTRIES!
IMAGINE THE WORLD LIKE THIS!

Now, the establishment will not take this sitting down. He is being censored, laughed at, publicy humiliated, supporters threatened, kept out from voting, etc.

Please try to find out more about this guy, whose crusade can singlehandedly ELIMINATE PHILIPPINE POVERTY!

Mabuhay ang Pilipinas!
