December 22, 2020 benign0 12 Comments

It is easy to watch a viral video of the most recent police “killing” then jump into a “conclusion” that the Philippine police are “evil” and then go off to launch a whole media circus around it and propagate the latest outrage fad. The incident that left Sonya Gregorio and her son Frank Anthony Gregorio…

Wokes’ brand of justice must never be imposed on the world

September 14, 2020 ChinoF 4 Comments

A lot of people are up in arms over the pardon of Joseph Scott Pemberton, since they assume he’ll go scot-free back in the U.S. I’m pretty sure he’ll go through a court-martial, despite the claim of his lawyer. Woke protesters had better make sure of this before they make noise. If they cry, “what…

United States Marine Joseph Scott Pemberton was only 19 when he had the misfortune of crossing paths with cross-dresser Jeffrey Laude (a.k.a. “Jennifer”) while on shore leave in the Philippines in 2014.

Philippine Opposition in disarray again after failed “Magnitsky Act” demonisation campaign

December 27, 2019 benign0 7 Comments

The Philippine Opposition are rotting from the inside. This is because their own “thought leaders” are failing to provide sound leadership. Rather than enrich their party ideologies, the premiere “influencers” of the Opposition are leading their members down dead-end pathways. Over the last ten years, the ideological foundations of what had been an almost four-decade…
