That's not been my experience.  So far everyone I've met seems to be able to communicate satisfactorily with other Filipinos in Tagalog.  I don't speak Tagalog so I only say this judging by the interactions between people who have two different mother languages.   I've met a lot of people who are not able (or at least willing) to communicate in English.

Even the people who are quite fluent in English will almost never recognize or appreciate linguistic nuances and things which make communications fun and interesting.  It's a little to much to ask though, especially since I've been unable to make myself even try to learn Tagalog.


The city I'm in now (which I won't name) has reasonable traffic.  Also a ton of decent school options which was a selling point.  Clean air as well.  I've not been through a years worth of weather, and I'm getting used to the climate now also, but it quite tolerable so far and down-right pleasant at times.  I'm from the Pacific Northwest and am more comfortable in much cooler weather.  I'm also comfortable getting hit by raindrops which to many Filipinos is a terrifying experience.  It's the weirdest thing.  Really annoying to sometimes as people struggle with an umbrella to cross the street.  I mean literally!

I have come to the point where I genuinely enjoy driving when I'm actually doing it.  The rules of the road are very much different.  Since I had an undergrad course in transportation engineering and have an idea of the various mathematical formulas which dictate traffic flow rates it's fascinating to see how the 'other way' works, and I believe that it's actually somewhat more efficient than orderly stop-lights and so on.  One has to have laser-like focus when driving here, though, because of the various hazards and the ever-present danger of hitting someone.  After an hour or two of driving I'm very much ready to do something else.


The politics is definitely and interesting study.  There are related events which nobody I've talked to and no reporting that I've heard even attempt to tie together.  The Duterte presidency has made some shock waves and I sense that it has thrown almost everyone off-balance (and put a fair number of people 6 feet under as well.)

Wow, I watched that an hour before your post.  Here's my favorite comment:


The fact that doctors are FINALLY starting to question these things is extremely good news to me.  Doctors are already chaffing under a variety of other insults brought about by socialized corp/gov controlled medical system.  They are nearly universally bright people and sometimes good people as well.  Lots of them will (and do) keep their traps shut and quietly avoid doing their own kids, but there will surely be more and more pressure as they are forced to inject the innocent with stuff they don't have confidence in.  Especially since more and more of the victims are themselves wising up and pitching a bitch.

I looks to me very much as though it's going to be a bumpy road ahead for the vaccine programs.  The harder they push, the stronger the resistance and the more intense will be the backlash when it comes.

I would say that Filipinos are to some significant degree victims of 'demoralization' meaning that the place is not as bad as you've been conditioned to think, or put another way, other places have significant problems as well.

Secondly, 'English'.

Thirdly, there tends to be certain romantic involvement in a lot of these things.

Fourthly, one can get a lot done in this country.  It's more practical to arrange very high level protection, though it can also be a somewhat dangerous and expensive game to play.

I would say that the corruption is mostly just pushed down to a lower level and more visible in this country.  The same thing exists everywhere to a degree, but it tends to be contained in the upper spheres where there is less visibility (and higher profits) in the more 'developed' countries.  It's probably an economic advantage for the peeps in this country to have it be closer to the street level.  That is to say, it doesn't have as far to 'trickle down.'


Hope so.  Just weed out the criminals please.  They are an embarrassment to me and others of my ilk.  I'm a guest in the country so I feel it a responsibility to be a good citizen.  America has a ton of good people who's company I do rather miss.  Hopefully some of them end up here, and if so are of net benefit to the nation.  It's also got a ton of creepers who might come here for bad reasons (though thankfully Patatya draws off many of this class.)

I would advise anyone who is thinking about expatriation to stockpile all the papers they may need just in case.  In particular, get a law enforcement clearance letter (and if you cannot, then this suggestion is not for you.)  Just have it ready in case it becomes harder to get one and harder to move around.  It looks to me as though the infrastructure is in place to track and restrict freedom of movement in the U.S..  If so, it's probably for a reason.  And that reason probably has to do with capital flight under certain economic events.

Update from me also:  I've been in the Philippines for over half a year now solid.  I've put down roots and it looks like I'll be staying.  Now considering how to liquidate some of my substantial holdings in the U.S. just so they don't interfere with my 'new life.'

To re-cap, I decided to leave only after giving up on Trump who I never had a great deal of confidence in in the first place although I campaigned hard for him.  He's nearly 100% fraud and I see no hope for any workable outcome in the U.S..  Trump gave me a window to get the hell out of Dodge, but his actions are simply to set the stage for a deeper and more certain crater when they do give the 'pull it' command on the U.S..  In the mean time, being an active participant in the U.S. is giving my sanction to the activities of that country.  A huge weight was lifted when I realized that I was no longer a party to the depravity that the U.S. is engaged in all around the world.

I had a great life in the U.S. and I lament the loss, but it is what it is.  So yes, for me it was very nearly 100% about politics.  I shall not be returning in any likely scenario.  I have a great life abroad as well.  There is no reason that one cannot arrange for themselves a great life in any variety of scenarios.

Had I it to do over again I may not chose the Philippines.  Although it is a great place with many advantages, I think it is frail to the kinds of threats which will ultimately sink the U.S. (and arguably already have.)  The people have a lot of baggage left over from centuries of certain kinds of external influence and domination.  They simply don't have what it takes to avoid certain kinds of traps.  With what I know now I would look closely at Malaysia.  Probably still will; the Philippines was always a '2nd option' for me and I always planned to have a '3rd option' as well.

Ordinary people can address some of societies most vexing problems autonomously by taking just a little bit of responsibility as the chart shows.  Distributed law enforcement so-to-speak.

I think that the above chart shows the major reason that corp/gov is so desperate to get rid of the 2nd amendment.  It's got nothing to do with 'anti-government militia groups' and all that crap (that both sides fool themselves into believing.)  It's about giving socialized constructs a reason and excuse to exist and get funds.

The rejection of centralized authority is one of the central reasons why the gun control issue resonates so strongly with think-they-wanna-be socialists.  Most people in this category are funded and animated by corp/gov through mechanisms that they semi-deliberately don't understand so they tow that party line with extraordinary vigor.

The more power and size law enforcement entities have, the more corrupt they get as a general tenancy.  It works generally the same way in all societies and has throughout history.  In my observation law enforcement works best for society when upstanding citizens and uniformed law enforcement are of appropriate size that they _need_ to rely on one another.  In my area in rural Oregon that dynamic between citizens and the Sheriff's department exists and it works quite well.  Meth-heads are basically identified and they self-limit to a large degree as a survival mechanism.

In another area with which I have some familiarity things go one step farther and there are so-called 'salvage operations.'  That works pretty well too IMHO.  Drives the so-called 'Western Liberals' into fits though.  Probably because if fucks up the strategy of cultivating criminals as a problem/reaction/solution scheme.

The one country on earth who really needs nuclear weapons is Iran since they are under constant and vocal threat, and nuclear weapons are a genuine deterrent.  Just ask the North Koreans.

To my surprise and dismay Iran has never shown any indication of working towards having a nuclear capability.  Every credible intelligence source says so, so I guess I will have to believe it.  Of course Netenyahu and his underlings (Pompeo, trump, the mainstream media, etc) say Iran is developing nukes, but they have been saying that for 30 years and they are compulsive liars as has been proven time and time again.  They never provide any evidence because, I suppose, there simply ain't none.

When I say 'compulsive' that is exactly what I mean.  They lie even when there is no reason for it, and even when it hurts their cause.  They really seem to get some bizarre (kabbalisit?) pleasure out of lying.  It's just weird and freakish.

Anyway, for the sake of the Iranian people and the rest of the world I do hope that the Iranian leadership has been working on something else as a deterrent.  Probably they have, and that's why the JewSA always pusses out.  Maybe it is just the good network of like-mined and capable groups that Gen. Soleimani (RIP) organized.  Chiefly Hezbollah sent Israel back across the boarder in a panic last time they met.  Israel decided that it's best for American bullet-stoppers to be the ones to meet them going forward.

Also, on deterrence and pussing out) there was clear demo that Iran can currently pop any target they like and their ain't dick that the U.S. air defense systems can do about it (see the Saudi refinery and the bases in Iraq.)  In both cases the attacks were designed to do no damage but clearly demonstrate a certain capability.  Word is that it is Chinese tech.  That probably means American tech sold to China by are 'greatest ally'.  That would be the ones who are ethnically cleansing the 'promised land'.  For now.

These types of operations are basically the core job description of entire wings of the U.S. government (big parts of the State Department and CIA.)  They have dedicated sponsored entities focused on such operations (USAID, NED, etc) and they often outsource operations to quasi-independent entities (Soros, Google, etc.)

More and more it is fair to say that the likes of Soros and Google outsource this kind of stuff to the State Department, but either way they have well developed channels for communication often utilizing people who work for both entities simultaneously.

I doubt that Trump himself has anything to do with most of these things.  He's probably not even 'read in' to many of these operations.  For all intents and purposes it's above his pay-grade.

One group takes a lead role in managing the president/puppet and to be sure they have a seats on the committees who plans color revolutions and such.  Those people tell Trump what to sign and where.  To that degree 'Trump' is involved, but I doubt any deeper than that in almost any cases.  It's was the same with Obama, GW Bush, and Clinton as well.  GHW Bush might have taken a more hands-on to this aspect of government simply because he came directly from Intel and was already read in to many of the programs.

Google News is a fucking joke.  Google (and everyone else) want to force-feed crap down their throat without giving them and options.  About a decade ago they figured that this ability give an entity the power to swing a vote like 10% (so it is said.)  That's a lot of power.

The trouble is that the algorithms for what garbage to shove at people (on an individual basis) were simply incompatible with 'sort by date'.  So what Google News did was to get rid of 'sort by date'.

'Freedom of choice' was a serious bug in the original implementation of the internet.  Google and the rest are hell-bent on correcting this mistake.  Unbelievably they are executing rapidly and effectively with almost none of you niggers(*) even noticing!

At least a decade ago (make that 'over 11 years from this date' to keep things all legal) I realized that Google didn't have any real problem gathering and making available information that people wanted or needed.  The real problem they have is keeping people from accessing the 'wrong' information as they and their owners define it.  'Curating' information to be polite about it.

* with a nod of the hat to literary master Ken Kesey.

The alternate to hot wars from the elite's point of view applied to the problem of population management is non-lethal biological warfare (including electromagnetics.)  In their twisted minds they are the humanitarians for thinking about the ethical questions when comparing the two.

It's always possible to kill several birds with one stone, though, and onocology is something like a trillion dollar industry in the well-off 'first world' with socialized medicine making it possible to charge $40,000 for a single 'cancer pill.'  Different populations 'need' different solutions.  And Americans are pretty much milked dry (aka, in massive debt) by now so it might be time for a shift.

I needed to get a TV before the Honor Vision TV was available.  First time I've bought a TV ever, but someone in my household is addicted to Facebook and all that crap so I figured maybe one of them new-fangled smartTV things could at least be wired in and try only to blast one's brain with non-stop footage of homicidal psychopaths (e.g., Batman movie) and not necessarily 2.4 Ghz electromagnetic radiation.

I assumed that an 'Android TV' would be able to run apps like, oh, I dunno, gmail?  chrome?  I bought the latest and very expensive Sony Bravia.  What a mistake.  It is incredibly buggy.  The 'facebook app' seems to be nothing more than a streaming platform (one of 1000 which are spammed repeatedly.)  The TV itself reverts to streaming mainstream trash (glorification of homicidal psychopaths) at every available opportunity.  One can easily lose the ability to even adjust the settings because the device is so intent on streaming shit.

The browser, if one can call it that, is ultra-lame.  Some piece of shit which may be loosely based on some ancient cut-down chromium code inbred with some Opera code as best I can tell.  No alternatives are available, or at least none that I wanted to try since all of them promise to spam one into insanity with ads.  When I put in the URL to Google and thought about logging on (with one of my throw-away accounts) I got a warning that the very browser which they bundled and won't replace was insecure.  Nice.

Jewtube seems to be one of the few bona-fide apps on the thing.  It's main defect is that most of the time half the screen is taken up by thumbnails of the next bunch of crap that they plan to force-feed you even though I have auto-play turned off.

I'm nearing the 99% certainty level that whoever wrote Idiocracy with the big-screen TV's filled with spam add boxes was a deep insider;  Way way way to many things are knock-on perfect (including, sadly, many of the people who post here.)  I gotta wonder about Dr.'s Krinsky and Altschuler.

---

Anyway, I'm quite sure I'll be getting an Honor Vision TV at my first opportunity (since there is no way on earth it will be worse than my AndroidTV) and am hopeful that one will be able to build Harmony OS from source and flash it to the device.  Actually I'm not to hopeful about that, but we can all dream.  Come on China.  Stick it to the creepy fucks in Silicon Valley.  I'm begging you...and I'll buy even more of your stuff than I already own if you do.

Edit:

Oh ya, yet another defect with my AndroidTV:  All it supports out-of-the-box vis-a-vis file sharing is 'DLNA'.  That's a brilliant technology which seems to aggregate all of the pictures in a hierarchy into a single collection.  How convenient...to pan through 10,000 pictures in one location to find the one you are looking for...on a device with a processor which seems like an old i386-SX.  To add insult to injury it won't even recognize .mp4 format for videos.  They play fine on other machines so it's probably some DRM thing.

To say the truth, it seems like most of the 'file sharing' (and practically every other feature) is designed to let the software creator scrape your storage devices and send the results back to mothership.  Making an accually useful or functional piece of software is a distant afterthought which is typically neglected.

Going to far to fast on this runs the risk of widespread adoption of alternative addressing methods.  Some of them already relatively well developed.  It's always tricky to make a relatively trivial engineering problem into an enduring and insurmountable problem.  Can sometimes be done, but it requires a decent foundation and some care.

They never would have found capable people to develop the internet in the first place if they got people who would not make certain 'mistakes' (e.g., making the thing relatively open and relatively free.)  Now it's time to erase those mistakes.  I don't doubt that they are working feverishly on it.

God Bless, Move Forward!

The trees will make beautiful stumps in a few decades and the wood can be used for human purposes.

Trees have a nasty tenancy to damage concrete of which NYC has an abundance as the roots grow.  But that just creates more jobs for people tearing up the sidewalk and re-doing it.

Concrete itself requires quite a large input of energy which will increase the 'carbon footprint'.  That would be a negative if CO2 had anything to do with 'global warming', but the whole 'man-made global climate change' thing is a laughable hoax promulgated by, among others, the multinational energy companies themselves who's board-members thought up the scheme decades ago in order to consolidate, magnify, and solidify the power they'd amassed during the industrial revolution.

Most 'conspiracy theorists' I know, and most assuredly myself, don't really even have 'theories'.  We entertain a variety of often mutually exclusive hypotheses and as such welcome any real information which can help validate OR invalidate a hypothesis.

What is very aggravating is that if one has a hypothesis that, say, the big pharma and the CDC are colluding to down-play some of the deleterious effects of vaccines, pointing to information from either of these entities is simply not helpful in elucidating the details of the conjecture.  At least not directly.  While the information from the CDC and Merck may be 'rock solid proof' of vaccine safety to you, it is quite useless to me by the nature of the hypothesis itself.  Alas, that is beyond most people's ability to conceptualize.

We know that 'conspiracies' happen all the time.  They are probably more common then not whenever practically anything happens anywhere.  And 'theories' are a standard element of the scientific method since the enlightenment period some centuries ago.  Nothing ignoble about that...unless one is very very retrograde.  Why is it that gluing the two words together creates in normies such a visceral negative reaction?

Well, there are 'conspiracy theories' which account for the normie's psychological reaction to the term 'conspiracy theory'.  They revolve around a CIA document from 1967 released under FOIA in the 1970's describing to their media assets how to employ the term 'conspiracy theorist' to discredit an undesirable argument.  A pretty good, if long-winded, exploration of that is here:

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVOkxeW2-nA

The piece does show how a Zerohedge headline about the document was flatly in error so it certainly does happen with Zerohedge from time to time.

Actually it is far more common for a gun owner to have a gun specifically and expressly for the purpose of NOT killing someone.

If I have to defend my family and my property using a baseball bat, it vastly increases the chances that a criminal will attempt to take advantage of the situation.  And criminals are free to have firearms of course.

If I have a 12 ga shotgun at my disposal to defend my family and property, and it is widely known or suspected, then the odds of needing to engage someone in conflict (and potentially kill them or vice-versa) go WAY down.

I know the dynamic in my state and area (rural Oregon) and it works like a champ.  Find the state on the (unsurprising) chart posted above showing the negative correlation between gun ownership and fatalities.

---

Anyway, the "I might go crazy" argument applies equally to guns, cars, kitchen utensils, etc.  The 'produced for' purpose is not really a logically rational argument in and of itself.  I could help you fix it up a bit if I took a mind to, but I'll leave it as a homework exercise.

The same argument works even better for not owning a car.

I've had 'road rage' a couple of times and have done risky moves to keep someone from doing a dick-head illegal pass on me or to demonstrate my dis-satisfaction at being held up for miles by three slow drivers driving side-by-side on the freeway.  I've never even come close to such a thing with my guns.  In fact I've specifically and deliberately left my guns locked up when I go out to confront someone on the county road which runs through my property.

At the end of the day, automobiles pack vastly more energy and it is vastly easier to deploy that energy against another human being by accident or on purpose than is the case with a firearm.

(Actually the people who want to get rid of guns also want to get rid of cars and have only self-driving taxi cabs.  Maybe not now because the programming for the end-human-driven-cars project has not been widely uploaded into people's brains yet, but we know who will be susceptible to it when this particular over-the-air update is rolled out; the same people who are now on the anti-gun kick.  The same people who want to get rid of guns also want to get rid of cars.  It's all part of a certain technocratic vision.  And they own the upgrade mechanisms.)

The U.S. must be pulled from the top of the pile if someone else is to take over.  WW-III would accomplish this by my estimation.  The pay-off for the next top dog will take a while but eventually it would be worth it (we think.)  The U.S.'s 'investment' in WW-II was similar and the pay-off was huge.  But nothing lasts forever.

For clever people who take great pride in their abilities at deception, using the U.S. to destroy the U.S. (thus vacating the top slot for themselves to take over), would, I admit, be a fairly impressive magic trick.  And one which, in retrospect, has been decades in the making.

If you pitched a bitch about the western puppet giving your resources away to foreign powers it looked a bit more like this:



It's not surprising to me that the revolution happened and has show staying power.  The peeps on the ground understand the options.

The above is kinda reminiscent certain activities a while later.  Basically the same group with basically the same set of trainers (some would call them demons):

Translation:

Twitch works at a place which has 100% corporate news and listens to one of them at a time.

In his free time Twitch reads corporate rags which carry to works of 'famous' shills.

Twitch is very diligent and reads every word of the ridiculous cover-ups of events sponsored by corp/gov.

For 'diversity' Twitch scans 'alt-right' publications which were either corrupt charades from the get-go or gobbled up by corp/gov money.

The only thing Twitch instinctively avoids are real independent and alternative sites(*).

This profile explains all one needs to know about why the guy is the way he is.  To my great humiliation I was very much the same way for much of my adult life so there is some hope.


* I actually don't read naturalnews very much myself.  I just cannot get myself to be very confident in Mike Adams.  He has mostly good stuff and is well beyond most other well known pundits when it comes to have a grasp on technical issues, but some blatant errors are mixed in with his material as well and is not cautious enough to be a good scientist.  Mostly, though, it's that having anything to do with 'Infowars' is a big red flag after their performance of the last half decade when they either changed radically or blew their cover.

I use Bitcointalk to see if Badecker, Techshare, and people of their ilk have linked to anything interesting.  Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.

I scan my own private list of Jewtube channels (or former Jewtube peeps who got censored off the platform and moved to bitchute or whatever.)  I never use Jewtube's 'like' or 'subscribe' features or anything like that because I don't want to help them (analyze me), and almost never comment since I'm normally shadow-banned.  My list of people worth listening to is always on the drift, but currently includes the likes of:

 - Last American Vagabond
 - Israel News Live
 - Trunews
 - KnowMoreNews

to find reliable links to real information and the take on events from people who don't seem to be Ziocon hacks, shills, lackies, and cucks of that class. Ziocons own the mainstream media which is part of the reason it isn't worth even skimming, so why should I waste any time with the likes of Brieghtbart?  Same shit, different asshole for the most part.

As for aggregators, I first reach for 'antiwar.com' and have for decades.

It's more about the 'Greater Israel' project.  Always has been.  Secondarily (and relatedly), it's about have a private Rothschild central bank controlling the money supply in _every_ country.


And Hello Bitcoin!

As for the legendary 'petro-dollar' is a useful construct (especially since the U.S. is supplying the bullet stoppers for the Zionist's wars) and it has provided good service to date, but it's replaceable with various other instruments.  In fact it must be replaced at some point.  Maybe we are at that point?
