US stirring the pot in the Philippines

Early in the morning of January 25, commandos belonging to the Special Action Force of the Philippine National Police crept into the southern town of Mamasapano — a stronghold of the separatist Moro Islamic Liberation Front. The elite Seaborne Unit had come for Zulkifli Abdhir, a Malaysian bomb maker better known as “Marwan.”

By the end of the morning, dozens lay dead.

The episode has severely discredited the administration of Philippine President Benigno Aquino III, jeopardized decades of progress on peace talks with Moro separatists, and underlined the perils for developing world governments that put themselves at the beck and call of Washington.


The US sabotages the ceasefire agreements in Ukraine too.

Whenever there is a chance for peace, Uncle Sam aka Uncle Satan is there to make sure that war breaks out.

Thanks, dissident. A great article and important reminder of the immorality and hypocrisy of America's foreign policy. March 24th brings another anniversary...16 years since NATO began bombing Serbia in support of Kosovo's nacrodollars.

Ha, it is pathetic how some countries are just puppets of the US. Philippines being one. They are the surrogates who do the dirty work at the behest of the US. Antagonism ,Confrontation and Violence seem always to be preferred tools of US foreign policy. Not surprising it always reinforces the need for a "military presence". It makes bankers richer. It perpetuates the narrative of the "war on terror", which allows the US to justify it's overt and covert shenanigans and meddling.

I recommend the "The Shock Doctrine" by Naomi Klein. It expertly details this and how profit is derived from creating chaos around the world. Military weapons sales and restructuring of whole countries with Trans-national companies swooping in like vultures to do the restructuring. Of course Banks profiting immensely by handing out loans left and right. All this with the ultimate objective of collapsing a country so as to make it more suitable to exploit and control and co-incidentally the banks and corporations profit from all this. Sounds like a win-win situation
