Moving away from American imperialists.

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has reiterated his intention to distance his country from the US, its former colonial master, saying he is about to pass “the point of no return” with the US.
 
“I am about to cross the Rubicon between me and the US,” the controversial Pacific leader told reporters, without elaborating.
 
Duterte reiterated that the Philippines would seek closer ties with Russia and China, the two nations that challenged American ambition for global leadership. But, he added, the ties with the US would not be broken completely, only driven to a point that would allow Manila to have an independent policy.
 
“I am ready to not really break [US] ties but we will open alliances with China and… [Dmitry] Medvedev, he is waiting there [in Russia] for my visit,” Duterte said, referring to the Russian prime minister.
 
The remarks came just as the Philippines and the US prepare to hold joint naval exercises in October. Such drills have over the years served to cemented the military alliance between the two countries.

Duterte earlier said he would seek a termination of the treaty which allows US soldiers to maintain a presence in his country’s south. He also said he would buy weapons from Russia and China to decrease reliance on America in defense matters, and that Manila would not participate in a maritime conflict were it to be initiated by Washington, despite a 1951 treaty requiring it to do so.

Agree with everyone who mentioned guns. Probably go to shooting ranges and practice shooting, especially with pistols since you can conceal those. I, myself, prefer shotguns (I suck at pistols and can’t aim even if my life depends on it…plus I can absorb the shotgun’s recoil with my body whereas pistols’ recoils go throughout my hands which I dislike), which are great for defending your home but my husband pointed out to me that I can’t exactly walk around with a shotgun without freaking everyone out, so being experienced with pistols is probably the wiser choice.

What about these?

A series of explosive child sex abuse scandals has hit Western Europe in recent months, sending the Catholic Church into damage control mode. While such scandals have become depressingly frequent since major allegations came out in the United States in 2002, the latest charges have been particularly damaging, implicating senior members of the Vatican hierarchy, including Pope Benedict XVI himself,

Such explosive accusations are a direct attack on Pope Benedict himself, who has been criticized for sending a confidential letter in 2001 to every Roman Catholic bishop, advising them to keep allegations of sexual abuse secret for at least 10 years.

since the mid 1990s there have been nearly 15,000 complaints leveled against the church — with legal claims topping $1.5 billion.

Vatican official responded to growing criticism by defending the clergy’s action, citing statistics that showed only 1.5 to 5 percent of clergy have been involved in cases of child sex abuse — a leaky argument that acknowledges sexual abuse by up to 20,000 priests worldwide.

Even when accusations were leveled, priests tended to brush off evidence….German Justice Ministry says that Vatican secrecy has hampered investigations…collusion of Irish police in systematically covering up cases of child abuse by Dublin clergymen.

VIP pedophile network in Westminster, at the heart of the British government… systematically abused as young boys at sex abuse parties attended by judges, politicians, intelligence officers, and staff at the royal palaces…

about 16 MPs and members of the House of Lords, and 30 high profile figures from the Church of England, private schools, and big business, were members of, and advocates for, the Paedophile Information Exchange. The shadowy group, which operated partly in the open, campaigned for the age of consent to be abolished and incest to be legalized.

● shocking allegations of rape and murder against some of the country’s most powerful men went unchecked for decades.

It wasn’t just Special Branch that seemed keen to keep MPs out of the clutches of the law. There is growing evidence that MI5 and MI6, Britain’s security services, took a similar view. MI5 is alleged to have repeatedly blocked investigations into a sex abuse ring at the Kincora children’s home in Northern Ireland.

In 1983, a controversial MP, Geoffrey Dickens, had made a series of incendiary claims about active pedophiles in the corridors of power. He handed a file containing the names of alleged perpetrators to Leon Brittan; publicly the authorities shrugged off the claims and no trial or prosecution would follow. The dossier mysteriously disappeared.

Time and again crimes were reported but voices from above silenced the complaints before they came to court…This culture of secrecy, which had apparently paralyzed the British legal system, helped to scare off victims who wanted to report their powerful abusers.

● One of the people who dedicated their lives to amplifying the voices of the victims, trying to ensure the powerful would be held to account, was Liz Davies. Teenage boys, usually so reluctant to seek help, would line up outside her office on Hornsey Road waiting to come inside.

She would later discover that the international office of the Paedophile Information Exchange was just a few hundred yards from her desk, and her patch was home to a host of prolific child attackers linked into a network of powerful abuse rings that stretched from Westminster to Northern Ireland, Wales, and the island of Jersey in the Channel.

Then came a call from the regional headquarters. Davies and her boss, and her police counterpart and his boss were summoned for a meeting. “We were both told to drop all our investigations, that we had no evidence and we had no right to be interviewing the boys,” she said.

In 1991, their investigations led to the conviction of a fire official called Roy Caterer. When police officers raided his home they found exactly what her boys had described, along with albums and albums of indecent photos.

Davies thought her work would finally be taken seriously by the authorities; she was wrong…Davies took a suitcase stuffed with evidence, including graphic photographs, to the Metropolitan Police. She said the well intentioned superintendent looked at her haul and mournfully confessed that powerful figures still controlled what might be exposed…

@tour_operator said in Black Lives Matter in Japan:

Camera angle: poor.
Number of protesters: <50, including JP police.
Fail.

First of all, BLM shouldn’t even be protesting in JAPAN of all places!

@tour_operator

I suggest you follow the Charlie Hebdo case: some month ago, people called for “freedom of speech” against muslims. Now the same are butthurt and want to censor the French paper.

Western hypocrisy is limitless.

@tour_operator I’d like to learn about everything too, but how long would your approach take? From what I could tell, China was subverted easily due to circumstance. Han majority hated Manchu rule and they were already weak from losing multiple wars.

The context seems quite different.

@secondstrike Breathtakingly beautiful! I love how they combined the traditional with a contemporary feel!

Asian American soft power was declining even before 2014. You can sorta see this through video gaming. Microsoft and western based companies started gaining significance with the 360 while once famous Japanese companies were merging to prevent being wiped out. Japanese franchises disappeared never to return (Breath of Fire anybody? Suikoden?)

For a lot of young people, the 360 was their first gaming console and these guys/girls never got to experience famous Japanese franchises. Today, you see a lot of Japanese titles being referred to as “weeaboo games”. Games that were once (and still are, in the right circles) famous for their genre, such as Tekken and Street Fighter.

When you look closer at the 360 demographic, they consisted of “dudebros”. These guys play a stereotypical set of games like Halo, Gears of War, Forza, Call of Duty, and so on. Most games had white males with buzzcuts and created to look “badass”.

The 360/PS3 generation lasted about 7-9 years. So you can imagine that these young boys (we’re talking about 13-16 yrs old at the beginning) are now 20-25 years old now. Just in time for the social justice/feminism movement to reach it’s peak (#Gamergate marks a significant period in time). Check this out, see anything that looks familiar?

On the left (the social justice warriors) are mostly white, nerdy, busted up looking white guys. On the right, are normal looking white guys, Asian guys, Hispanic guys, black guys, women (Asian women from FG community are typically pro-Asian).

The meeting on the left (XOXO Fest) was about diversity but the whole thing was fake and hypocritical b/c the audience was white.

So anyways, you can see that the kind of guys who tend to marry or go after Asian girls are busted up, loser, nerdy, white guys. These guys are hypocrite SJW’s who move to Asian countries (btw women are not exempt from this) and then they push SJ ideals like multi-culturalism, tolerance, acceptance and use attacks like racism, sexist and so on so forth. You’ve heard it all before.

Another thing is that with social justice, came activism for African Americans. SJW gave undue, undeserved soft power to African Americans (and only African Americans). That is why you see this huge “diversity” push that benefited mostly white women and blacks. Coincidentally, to go along with the rise of “diversity” movement, the SMV for black men went way up. So high that you don’t even have to have a JOB to snag a beautiful looking white girl. This goes along with the statements you hear “white women are terrible feminists who only go for black men”. The result of that, white guys go with Asian women. Black men, with their newfound SMV, went to white women. There were things that also helped this along, like porn (interracial porn like blacked).

In the present, we’re at a point where Asian-American perception is at the lowest point I’ve ever seen. China is rising in soft power among other countries but here, people are being fed propaganda to make them out to be the evil ones. They don’t yet have any popular media to export so they haven’t seen anything to give them a positive perception. For example with Japan, they exported cars, bikes, anime and video games, causing people to admire Japanese.

@tour_operator

How they should be proctected and turned against that process.

that’s the whole point of the unbrainwashing section. Now, it’s a matter of packaging nicely, spreading it, and above all, institutionalizing it in immigrant, parent, academic [since Asians love that] communities.
