Well, the covert-ops people are already involved. They're
already working all the angles. They're working assets within the media complex
as well as stirring up political, social and economic trouble on the ground.
That's true in Turkey and if not already it will soon be the case in the
Philippines.
One thing is certain... Duterte is a satrap in revolt and
he's going to be feeling the pressure. The media not only prepares the segment
of the public that's paying attention, it signals Wall Street along with US
allies, and it gives cover to the diplomatic corps that is already at work.
Duterte insulted Obama but that's really quite minor in the
grand scheme of things. His real crime is that he's refusing to toe the
American line vis-à-vis China. He's thwarting the US 'Pivot' and has now wasted
American efforts and backing in securing the UNCLOS/PCA ruling regarding the
South China Sea. The US is not a signatory to the UN convention and it was the
Philippines role as a proxy to bring the charges against China in the Permanent
Court of Arbitration. This legal and diplomatic success is now being wasted by
Duterte's treachery... or at least that's how Washington will read his actions.
The US was happy to back and even fund his brutal regime
along with its death squads and concentration camps. Duterte's bluster will now
provide the basis for his downfall. His Trump-like buffoonery lays the media
groundwork for his own condemnation. It won't take much to turn world opinion
against him and he's going to start feeling the pressure from every quarter of
diplomatic, political, economic and possibly even military sectors.
Unless he's willing to purge institutions such as the army,
he'll likely face internal pressure if not danger as well.
He will be desperately looking to Beijing for backing. Will
China come to his aid? The Philippines is rapidly in danger of becoming another
flashpoint.
Now we'll see how cunning Duterte really is. Will he be able
to master the steps of this very difficult dance and survive?
Meanwhile the million or so Christians in the Philippines that
profess some form of Biblical Christianity will find themselves caught up in
the political turmoil. They will be exploited and placed in danger. Lamentably
many support Duterte. It would seem the apostasy inherent within political
Christianity continues to spread and a new dark chapter in the history of the
Christian Church is beginning to form... a new era of Christian militant
Right-wing nationalism. We can thank Dominion theology for this abominable
heresy. The apostate American Church has vigorous spread this filth across the
globe. In the Philippines and much of Asia it is brought about through G12 and
other such movements that seek to consolidate political and cultural power.
And once again, the US Defense and Intelligence Establishment
which is heavily staffed by and invested in by professing Christians will
scheme and turn to intrigue if not violence in order to maintain power and
profits. American Christians have long profited from US Imperialism's
machinations and they fully support its dark plots that seek to maintain its hegemony.
Let us pray for the Philippines and for our brethren there,
that they may find discernment in these days of confusion.
