Memo from THE Q:

About a month ago the United States sent it first "observers" to the Philippines to access the mood of the Philippine people and politicians about the return of the United States military to Subec Bay and Clark AFB.

Over this past weekend, a coup was attempted.

You won't read about it in the U.S. newspapers, so, we have picked some of the best headlines and posted them here.

Do you really think that this is a coincidence?

We are gearing up for war... we are NOT going to war!! We are JUST gearing up for war! There is a difference.

War gets sons and daughters killed and Mothers will March and stop it!! Politicians droop and faint when mothers march!!

Therefore, in order to get the financial boon that war provides, it is necessary to step carefully and wave BIG GUNS!!

Of course, it takes a lot of money to build the big guns... but building the big guns will provide jobs for all the dot commies that have just lost their jobs, therefore they will have money to sock back into the market in the next scheme we have cooked up to separate the newly rich fools from their money!

Even after we fleece them, they will still have enough money left to keep Starbucks brewing strong and Pier One employing prison slave labor and sweat shop slaves. All of this will keep the U.S. economy from teetering on the edge of all out depression longer than six months!! But in that six months... we will have succeeded in "culling" the herd.

We are the people who introduced the word "cull" to the Internet audience!

Remember back when Rayelan wrote about using drugs to "cull" the population!!

Think about it... we removed the gene pool during the years that it procreated the most!

BACK TO THE PHILIPPINES!

If China has a foothold in Panama... the U.S. will have a foothold in the Philippines!

Coup was planned!

http://www.inq7.net/nat/2001/may/01/nat_28-1.htm

SENATORS Juan Ponce Enrile, Gregorio Honasan, and former national police chief Panfilo “Ping” Lacson have been ordered arrested for allegedly instigating a bloody attack on the presidential palace, officials said.

Enrile has surrendered to authorities and is now in Camp Crame. All others are still at large. Honasan said that he would surrender to authorities later today.

Early reports indicate that Sen. Miriam Defenso-Santiago was on the arrest list but later reports said that she was not and that the government is considering asking her to turn state witness.

Also in the arrest list were former ambassador to the United States Ernesto Maceda, and two active-duty generals....

U.S. GOING BACK TO THE PHILIPPINES?
