On March 11, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was arrested by Interpol on a warrant from the International Criminal Court (ICC) and transferred to The Hague in the Netherlands to stand trial. The former Philippine leader is accused of crimes against humanity for his deadly war on drugs. Human rights groups say his policies left tens of thousands of Filipino men dead, many of them from poor backgrounds with no proven connections to drug use. But despite these accusations, many Filipinos continue to support Duterte and denounce a worsening security situation, particularly in the capital Manila. Meanwhile, relatives of victims are demanding justice. FRANCE 24's correspondents Alexis Bregere, Mélodie Sforza and Jan Camenzind Broomby report.
AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is scheduled to stand before judges today at the International Criminal Court, days after his stunning arrest in Manila on murder charges.
AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has appeared by videoconference before judges at the International Criminal Court.
In 2016, an international arbitral tribunal sided with the Philippines in a case against China's claims in the South China Sea. However, former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who sought to bring the Philippines' foreign policy closer to China, said the ruling was just “paper” fit for the waste bin. After Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. became the president in 2022, Philippine foreign policy shifted back towards strengthening its alliance with the United States. How does the Philippines manage its economic and security relationships with China, the United States, and other Southeast Asian nations?

Aggression from China is driving Manila and Washington closer, spurring a loose coalition against Beijing. Synopsis: Every third and fourth Friday of the month, The Straits Times' global contributor Nirmal Ghosh shines a light on Asian perspectives of global and Asian issues with expert guests. Despite talks between China and the Philippines regarding resupply of the small contingent of Philippine marines aboard the World War II era ship Sierra Madre which Manila had grounded on the disputed Second Thomas Shoal in 1999, tensions remain high in the South China Sea. In the latest incident, Chinese and Philippine Coast Guard vessels collided near Sabina Shoal, a disputed feature in the Spratly Islands, in the early hours of Monday, Aug 19. The vessels were damaged and though there were no casualties, Washington responded by reminding Beijing of the US's 73-year-old Mutual Defense Treaty with Manila. China claims most of the 1.3 million square miles of the South China Sea, including the Second Thomas Shoal, where Philippine vessels must run the gauntlet of a de facto Chinese blockade to resupply the marines on the Sierra Madre. The United States however, also needs to maintain a fine balance, being careful not to be too provocative and back China into a corner, says Indo-Pacific security expert Lisa Curtis, former top US official and now Senior Fellow and director of the Indo-Pacific Security Program at the Center for a New American Security in Washington, DC. Ms Curtis has served as deputy assistant to the US President under three successive national security advisors. She has 20 years of service in the US government including at the National Security Council, the CIA, the State Department, and Capitol Hill, specialising in the Indo-Pacific and South Asia. Ms Curtis guests on this episode of Asian Insider alongside Filipina writer Marites Vitug, a longtime investigative journalist and author of several books including the 2018 Rock Solid: How the Philippines Won Its Maritime Case Against China, and most recently, the just-released, co-authored Unrequited Love : Duterte's China Embrace which explores the various aspects of former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's appeasement of China.

In most of the world, “salvage” is a hopeful word, writes journalist Patricia Evangelista. But in Philippine English, to salvage is also to execute a suspected criminal without trial. The salvages of suspected drug users and dealers encouraged by former Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte are the subject of Evangelista's new book “Some People Need Killing,” which draws its title from the words of a vigilante she interviewed. According to human rights organizations, more than 30,000 people were extrajudicially executed in the Philippines for alleged narcotics offenses by the time Duterte left office in 2022. Evangelista interviewed the families of victims, and we talk to her about the impact Duterte's terrifying war on drugs had on them and on the country.

Any village. Any beach. Even a church. You're likely to see a basketball jersey. 在菲律賓隨便去到哪個街角,哪個村落,哪個海灘,甚至哪個教堂,你應該都會看到籃球衣。 “It's often described as a religion,” Carlo Roy Singson, managing director of NBA Philippines, said in an interview. 美國國家籃球協會(NBA)菲律賓分會總監辛松受訪時說:「大家常說,籃球就是菲律賓人的宗教。」 Indeed, basketball is ingrained in Filipino culture and has been for more than a century. The sport's permeation of a country of about 105 million began in the late 1800s, when Spain ceded the Philippines to the United States in 1898 after the Spanish-American War. 的確,籃球在菲律賓文化扎根已超過一個世紀。 籃球於19世紀末傳入這個目前有一億零五百萬人口的國家,終至遍布每個角落。1898年西班牙在美西戰爭中戰敗,把菲律賓割讓給美國。 A large facet of the introduction of the fledgling game was Christian missionaries, who were part of the YMCA, or Young Men's Christian Association. The game's inventor, Dr. James Naismith, conceived of the sport at what was then known as the International YMCA Training School in Springfield, Massachusetts. 籃球這個新興運動傳入菲律賓,很大一部分是靠基督教傳教士,這些傳教士是基督教國際社會服務團體「基督教青年會」(YMCA)的成員。籃球發明人奈史密斯博士就是在美國麻州春田市當時名為「國際YMCA訓練學校」的地方,想出籃球這種運動。 To take a round object and throw it into a peach hoop, as Naismith pictured it, could be a character-building endeavor. Soon after he invented it, missionaries began spreading it around the world, particularly in the Far East and the Philippines, in U.S.-controlled areas — a kind of sports imperialism. 奈史密斯設想,拿起一個球形物並將它丟進一個桃木筐,這種努力過程可以培養品格。在他發明籃球後不久,傳教士開始把這種運動傳布到世界各地,尤其是美國控制的遠東地區和菲律賓,算是一種運動殖民。 The NBA and its players, recognizing the sport's popularity in the Philippines, have invested time there in recent years. In 2013, the Houston Rockets and the Indiana Pacers played a preseason game there. According to a spokesman for the league, the NBA's Facebook page has 7.3 million followers from the Philippines, the largest of any country outside of the United States. NBA及其運動員認識到籃球在菲律賓大受歡迎,近年在菲律賓投入許多時間。2013年,休士頓火箭隊和印第安納溜馬隊在菲律賓打了場季前賽。根據NBA發言人的說法,NBA臉書專頁有730萬名粉絲來自菲律賓,菲律賓是美國之外最大的粉絲來源國。 This all began in the early 1900s, when basketball was introduced into schools in the Philippines. In 1913, the first Far Eastern Championship Games — an early version of what is now known as the Asian Games — took place in Manila, featuring several East Asian countries taking part in Olympics-style competitions, including basketball. 這一切全始於20世紀初,當時籃球傳入菲律賓各級學校。1913年,亞洲運動會前身、第一屆遠東運動會在馬尼拉舉行,幾個東亞國家參與奧運式的競賽,包括籃球。 It was the first of 10 biennial events, before disagreements between the countries disbanded the games. The Philippines won gold in nine of them. 遠東運動會兩年一次,總共辦過十次,後來因為各國意見不合而停辦。菲律賓在其中九次贏得籃球金牌。 The country's population took to the sport en masse. In 1936, its national team made the Olympics and finished fifth. At the 1954 FIBA World Championship, the Philippines won a bronze medal, the best finish for an Asian country. 菲律賓舉國上下都愛上籃球。1936年,菲律賓國家隊打進奧運並拿下第五名。在1954年世界杯男籃錦標賽中,菲律賓贏得銅牌,寫下亞洲國家最佳成績。 Two decades later, in 1975, the Philippine Basketball Association, Asia's first basketball league, was created. These games kept the sport at the forefront of Filipino culture and helped grow interest throughout the 20th century. 20年後,1975年,菲律賓職業籃球聯賽開打,是亞洲第一個職業籃球聯賽。這些比賽讓籃球處在菲律賓文化的重要位置,並在整個20世紀激發菲律賓人對籃球的興趣。Source article: https://paper.udn.com/udnpaper/POH0067/341713/web/#2L-15029994L Next Article Topic: About Philippines - Sinking feeling: Philippine cities facing 'slow-motion disaster' When Mary Ann San Jose moved to Sitio Pariahan more than two decades ago, she could walk to the local chapel.

By comparison, the UN estimates average sea level rise globally is about three millimeters per year. 衛星觀測顯示,從2003年起,班巴加省和布拉坎省每年地層下陷達4到6公分。相較之下,聯合國估測,全球海平面平均每年上升約3公釐。 Next Article: Topic: Philippines' Duterte pestered again as gecko stalls speech 菲律賓杜特蒂又被糾纏 因壁虎打斷演說 Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte just keeps getting bugged during his public speeches. 菲律賓總統羅德里戈.杜特蒂公開演講時,一直被打擾。 A noisy gecko was the latest wildlife contributor to an address by Duterte, interrupting the leader on Thursday evening just as he launched another tirade at human rights groups critical of his bloody war on drugs. 一隻喋喋不休的壁虎,是供稿給杜特蒂演講的最新野生生物,週四晚間就在他發表另一段長篇大論斥責批評他嗜血反毒戰的人權團體時,打斷這名領袖。 The reptile's persistence caused laughter in the crowd of mostly soldiers, causing Duterte stop mid-sentence, turn to his left and pause for a while to see what the off-camera commotion was. 這隻爬行動物的堅持不懈,引發以軍人為主的群眾大笑,導致杜特蒂話說一半停了下來,向左轉暫停片刻,看看是什麼造成鏡頭外騷動。 "You brought a gecko here?" he asked an official sitting behind him, drawing laughs. 他問一名坐在他後面的官員,「你把一隻壁虎帶來這邊?」引來笑聲。 While activists accuse Duterte of cowing his opponents into silence, reptiles and insects have no qualms about pestering him during his often hours-long, televised addresses. 雖然社會運動人士指控杜特蒂恐嚇反對者噤聲,但爬行動物和昆蟲對在他往往長達數小時的電視演說加以糾纏一事,毫無不安之意。 A big cockroach crawled up his shoulder and down his shirt during a speech in May when he was lambasting an opposition party ahead of a national election.

With the COVID-19 outbreak and the subsequent requirements of wearing face masks in crowded areas, however, drinking soft drinks has become a bit of a hassle. To solve this problem, a beverage store in the Philippines recently released a new line of face masks that you won't need to take off to enjoy a sip from your favorite drink. 此店Gallontea將口罩命名為「吸吸罩」(Sippy Mask) ,表面看起來與一般布口罩差不多,但是口罩的嘴巴邊卻有一個小開口,上面附著一個蓋子讓喜愛喝珍奶的人可以邊喝邊防疫。 The “Sippy Mask” released by Gallontea looks like an ordinary cloth face mask, but if you look closely, you'll find that there is a small opening near the mouth, with a small-cap for bubble-tea lovers to enjoy a safe drink. 店家也特別在官網上表示,只要消費有達1,000披索(約新台幣605.56元)就會贈送此口罩。而雖然口罩預購期已於昨日截止,目前也只在菲律賓販售,然而因為銷量不賴,期望未來有機會進軍台灣;不過大家需特別注意,喝完飲料要再將開口關上,才不會白帶口罩。 On their official Instagram page, Gallontea announced that customers can receive a free face mask with a minimum purchase of 1,000 pesos (US$20.59). Although the pre-order time was only till Aug. 18 and the masks are currently only being sold in the Philippines, with the way it's selling out, many people have expressed hope that customers will see this ingenious invention on Taiwan racks very soon. However, users of the face masks should be mindful of closing the opening once they've taken a sip from the drinks or else the act of wearing face masks would be rendered useless.

The roughly ten thousand company documents that make up the Facebook Papers show a company in turmoil—and one that prioritizes its economic interests over known harms to public interest. Among other things, they catalogue the company's persistent failure to control disinformation and hate speech. David Remnick spoke with Maria Ressa, an investigative journalist, in the Philippines, who runs the news organization Rappler. She has been the target of hate campaigns by supporters of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, and in October Ressa (along with the Russian journalist Dmitry Muratov) received the Nobel Peace Prize for working to protect freedom of expression. Ressa is also a co-founder of what's called the Real Facebook Oversight Board, a group of expert observers and critics who are not affiliated with Facebook's own quasi-independent Oversight Board. She doesn't see easy tweaks to ameliorate the damage; the fundamental approach of steering content to users to maximize engagement, she feels, is inherently destructive. “We've adapted this hook, line, and sinker: ‘personalization is better,' ” Ressa points out. “It does make the company more money, but is that the right thing? Personalization also tears apart a shared reality.”

Dmitry Muratov, the editor-in-chief of the independent Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta, has won this year's Nobel Peace Prize, sharing the award with Maria Ressa, the CEO of Rappler, a news outlet critical of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte's anti-drug campaign. Ressa and Muratov were honored "for their courageous fight for freedom of expression in the Philippines and Russia." The Norwegian Nobel Committee credited Ressa with "using freedom of expression to expose abuse of power, use of violence, and growing authoritarianism in the Philippines" and recognized Muratov for "decades [of defending] freedom of speech in Russia under increasingly challenging conditions." "They are representatives of all journalists who stand up for this ideal in a world in which democracy and freedom of the press face increasingly adverse conditions," the Nobel Committee explained in its prize announcement.

Today on The Leaders' Brief - The Philippines ordered the deployment of more navy ships to the South China Sea last week as tensions escalated over the presence of a fleet of Chinese boats parked near the disputed reef. Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has expressed “concern” over the threatening presence of 220 Chinese ships. The boats have been parked at the Whitsun Reef that falls under the jurisdiction of Manila's 200-mile exclusive economic zone (EEZ) as defined by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea. The climax to Bangladesh's golden jubilee celebrations of independence was marked with large scale clashes between security forces and a group of protestors who were against the welcoming of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi as chief guest. Notably, India has remained a close ally of Bangladesh and had played a key role in its independence movement against Pakistan in 1971. Speaking at Dhaka's parade ground, Mr Modi said that the two countries should move together in progress and expressed satisfaction in being able to aid Dhaka in its COVID fight by supplying vaccines. Ethiopia's prime minister Abiy Ahmed said last week that Eritrea has agreed to withdraw troops from Ethiopian territory along their common border after a nearly five-month long war. Tensions flared up between the two countries last year after Tigray forces fired rockets into their long-standing rival Eritrea claiming that the Ethiopian government was trying to use the Eritrean airport to attack Tigray. In the November clash, which saw thousands dead and hundreds of thousands displaced, the Ethiopian government had maintained that there was no presence of Eritrean troops in the region. However, the Ethiopian Prime Minister confirmed for the first time last week that troops from Eritrea had entered Tigray.

Alex and returning guest Jen Kirby talk about Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claim that Moscow has developed a coronavirus vaccine. They discuss how Russia skipped several safety steps and how the announcement highlights the troubling problem of “vaccine nationalism.” Basically, it’s every country for itself when creating a Covid-19 vaccine instead of working together — which could make it harder for the world to stop the pandemic.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte announced a 50-million-peso reward to encourage Filipino scientists to develop a vaccine for COVID-19. But the process is way more complicated and expensive. Christian Esguerra sits down with a group of pharmaceutical companies in this week's podcast.
Quote: "In one of the documents, the department [of justice] proposed that Congress grant the attorney general power to ask the chief judge of any district court to pause court proceedings "[from the United States Department of Justice] whenever the district court is fully or partially closed by virtue of any natural disaster, civil disobedience, or other emergency situation."

Prison has a very different culture and day to day life than life on the outside, and if you spend long on the inside you easily become used to it. Some of the problems and issues that are common are:"Being overwhelmed by decisions. Imagine that you basically have to make no major and few minor decisions every day. Now do that for years. Then you get out, decisions like what to have for breakfast can be baffling grocery shopping can be almost impossible. Add to that anxiety with big crowds."Anxiety/fear around people, especially big crowds. Generally, there are no big crowds in prison and when there is it is not good. Even on a bigger yard, people group in fairly small groups. Being out in public, among crowds of people, with your back exposed is a very uncomfortable feeling.

The Atlantic writer McKay Coppins says President Trump's reelection team is waging a massive disinformation campaign that uses the same tactics of information warfare used by autocrats like Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and by Russian President Vladimir Putin in our 2016 election. He says their tactics include coordinated bot attacks, micro-targeting millions of voters susceptible to radicalization and conspiratorial thinking, anonymous mass texting, and infiltrating local news stations with Potemkin local news websites. It's all meant to flood our senses and confuse our ability to discern fact from fiction. Also this hour: Former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg is on the rise. Results from the Iowa caucus and President Trump's high approval ratings have some wondering if any of the existing frontrunners could beat Trump. Is it time to take another look at Bloomberg?

The mid term elections in mid May were seen by everyone as a test for Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and his authoritarian rule and policies. Human rights and labour activists were hoping that by exposing Pres. Duterte's corruption, lies and murderous campaings in the War on Drugs and martial law in Mindanao, it would weaken his allies and elect senators, governors and mayors that would become his opponents. Unfortunately Duterte's allies used the media and state bureaucracy to their advantage to mount an election campaign focused on safety, security and nationalism.

This one is a conversation about personal risk-taking, “skin in the game”, democracy, values, geopolitics and much more. It is a conversation that resonates based on what is happening across much of the world – particularly the rise of populism and authoritarians like Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro, and the entrenchment of old hands like Vladimir Putin and Turkey's Recep Erdogan, to name a few. However, it is also a conversation about personal and collective values and taking risks based on these. It, therefore, offers many lessons across a variety of contexts. My guest is Philippine Congressman and opposition member Gary Alejano. Before becoming a Congressman, Gary was a soldier in the Philippine Marine Corps and risked his life in various combat operations. He was awarded the Medal of Valour for his service to his country. In 2003, he was one of a group of young officers who led a mutiny to protest corruption in his country's armed forces. Yes – I said this one is about risk-taking. This was known as the “Oakwood Mutiny” (named after the luxury Manila hotel Alejano and his colleagues occupied). It was an incident that received worldwide attention. We talk about that. We also talk about his becoming a Congressman and getting into politics – including the negative perception people in the Philippines have about their politicians (which of course, is a phenomenon many people have about their politicians across most countries in the world, particularly now!). We also discuss: Opposing his President's bloody and ineffective “war on drugs”, which by some estimates has led to the deaths of over 20,000 people; What is happening inside the Philippines; Fake news, democracy and authoritarianism; China and geopolitics in the region; Running for a Senate seat next year; Taking acute personal risks in public life; Much more! I came away from this thinking that Congressman Gary Alejano is one of the world's good guys. I hope you enjoy this fascinating conversation.

We’ll look at what this means for both parties as we approach the midterm elections. Brian and John continue our regular segment where we look at nuclear issues, including weapons, energy, waste, and the future of nuclear technology in the United States. Greg Mello, the executive director of the Los Alamos Study Group, and Kevin Kamps, the Radioactive Waste Watchdog at the organization Beyond Nuclear, join the show.

These laws allow terminally ill patients to immediately access any experimental treatments that aren’t already approved by the FDA. However, over 99% of applications to the FDA are approved, usually within days of applications, and this dangerous idea will lead to human experimentation in addition to other harmful ills. Brian and John speak with Mark Harrington, the Executive Director of the Treatment Action Group.
On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by editorial cartoonist Ted Rall and author Daniel Lazare.CNN and later other media outlets including MSNBC breathlessly reported that they finally had the missing piece of evidence, the so-called Smoking Gun that would prove Russia-Trump collusion during the 2016 election. Pundits all over the media took to the airwaves. But there was a problem: this story too turned out to be entirely false.Then, Russian President Vladimir Putin has made a surprise trip to Syria and announced that the country was beginning to withdraw its military forces from the country. With the U.S. determined to stay in Syria indefinitely, what comes next as the many sides in the war consider a negotiated end to the conflict? International affairs and security analyst Mark Sleboda joins the show along with Rick Sterling of the Syria Solidarity Movement.Elizabeth Shackleford, a senior U.S. diplomat, resigned over the weekend, saying that President Trump and Secretary of State Tillerson had shown “stinging disrespect” for the foreign service.

Former U.S. diplomat Brady Kiesling talks to Brian and John about the resignation.Iraq declared today that Daesh has officially been defeated. Independent journalists Catherine Shakdam and Mojtaba Masood join Brian and John to discuss what's next, in particular the role that the U.S. will play from this point forward.

Christopher Black, an international criminal defense lawyer at the International Criminal Court, discusses this development.Senator Mark Warner is “deeply disappointed” that Twitter was unable to produce proof of a large-scale Russian influence campaign. The evidence-less Russiagate scandal continues. Dan Kovalik, a human rights and labor lawyer and author, joins the show.Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has declared his previous hostility towards the United States “water under the bridge” and praised the U.S.-Philippines alliance. Rhonda Ramiro, Vice Chair of Bayan-USA, talks about this issue.
On 24 May 2017, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte declared Martial Law in Mindanao through Presidential Proclamation 216. This came after a botched military operation against an individual by the name of Isnilon Hapilon, the leader of the Maute Abu Sayyaf terrorist group, allegedly connected to ISIS. Under Martial Law, the Philippine military has intensified indiscriminate aerial bombing even as civilians are still trapped within the city. As Philippine authorities claim, 20-38 civilians have been killed, thousands have evacuated and taken refuge in several parts of Mindanao, while hundreds more were arrested.Even before PP216, state impunity perpetrated by the Armed Forces of the Philippines already claimed the lives of 34 people, mostly farmers and Lumads who are the indigenous peoples of Mindanao. They have been victims of politically-motivated extrajudicial killings, while 20 incidents of indiscriminate aerial bombings and operations have occurred since February this year.To discuss the situation in the philippines, Accent of Women speaks with Stephanie Rabusa, Chairperson of AnakBayan Melbourne.

It's 2017, so obviously people aren't going to elect documented sociopathic megalomaniacs with a history of lying to office, right? As we found in America, Authoritarianism has an allure to some voters, and in this episode we discuss Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte, who was elected on a platform of killing drug addicts and who claims to have murdered people himself. Also discussed: it's our first episode in two months! What has been going on and what's coming up for the year?

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte heads to China this week for talks that will test whether his anti-US rhetoric will lead to a fundamental security shake-up on Asia’s seas. James Kynge discusses the trip and its implications with the FT's Tony Tassell. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Reliable Russian and CIA contacts both told the White Dragon Society that the top bosses of the Khazarian mafia are seeking to trade shelter in Russia for gold. This is just the latest in a whole slew of signs Khazarian mafia rule of the planet earth is crumbling. The White Dragon Society and its allies will continue to press the offensive with the aim of permanently ending their rule as early as this autumn. Another big sign of Khazarian mafia defeat has been the degrading treatment given to UNITED STATES OF AMERICA corporate spokesperson Barack Obama in Asia and elsewhere. Obama was literally denied red carpet treatment on his arrival in China for last weekendâ??s G20 summit. This was in sharp contrast to the super VIP treatment given to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who has been recommended to China by the WDS as a better leader for North America than either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump. Trudeau was treated like a superstar in China during a one week visit that resulted in Canada publicly dumping its support of the US corporate government by announcing its intention to join the China led AIIB. Japan is now expected to follow suit, leaving the US corporate government isolated on the world stage. Obama was also forced to cancel a planned meeting with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte after Duterte called him a â??son of a whore.â?? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/sep/05/philippines-president-rodrigo-duterte-barack-obama-son-whore Barack Obama cancels meeting after Philippines president â?¦ www.theguardian.com Rodrigo Duterte further strains diplomatic ties with Washington as he warns US leader not to question him on extrajudicial killings This matters because the US corporate shift to Asia depended in large part on stoking territorial disputes between China the Philippines and other ASEAN countries. Instead, the ASEAN countries agreed with China to settle their territorial disputes peacefully. There is a lot more humiliation and hopefully oblivion in store for the US corporate government as the September 31st fiscal year end approaches. Efforts to finally bankrupt them center on international dumping of US Treasury bonds combined with gold buying. There is also a huge campaign under way now to make sure the supply of drug and oil money to the Federal Reserve Board and its US corporate government subsidiary is cut off so they will be unable to kick the bankruptcy can down the road any further. Duterteâ??s murderous campaign against drug dealers in the Philippines is just one aspect of this. The big campaign to cut off cocaine money from South America is also intensifying. The US military white hats are doing their part by cutting off all Bush/Clinton Nazi faction CIA drug flights through the Incirlik airbase in Turkey, the Ramstein airbase in Germany and the Bondsteel base in Kosovo, Pentagon sources say. The recent confusing and contradictory news about ISIS in Iraq and Syria is all about cutting off oil revenue to the Bush/Clinton faction of the cabal. The Russians and US military white hats are now cooperating with the Turks, the Iranians and the Syrians to make this happen. The situation has reached the point where the handlers of Hillary Clinton contacted the WDS to say they
