Subject: Re: UK wants to arrest, extradite US citizens...
SNIP A Sky News reporter asked Commissioner Rowley to further explain his warning, arguing that high profile figures have been "whipping up the hatred," and that "the likes of Elon Musk" have been getting involved. She then asked what the police force’s plan will be "when it comes to dealing with people who are whipping up this kind of behavior from behind the keyboard who may be in a different country?"
OooooOOOOoooohhh. That would be entertaining. Please extradite Elon Musk, Enquiring minds want to know.
On the flip side, the Philippines warned expats not to participate in political movements, rallies, etc. Most American expats were MAGA and they were too afraid to even talk about normal events. So I looked up the EO, showed it to them, and told them that an Australian sister (catholic) had come to the Philippines exclusively to participate in a communist/socialist movement and had been deported, but normal folks - no worry. They were still too afraid, so that left me only Filipinos and a few expats to talk to about politics. But even then it was only in messenger, not posted online. I would get threatened at times by Filipinos on the internet and I would explain to them I am violating no law. I was simply not allowing false and biased criticisms of the US to go unchallenged.
According to some Filipinos, the USA killed 3 million Filipinos, stole all of the gold, made trade laws that were favorable to the US, and then left. The 3 million figure is traced back to a typo in the census, and the war killed ~200,000 people including the cholera victims. The company that exported all the gold was owned by Americans for 2 years, went bust, a Philippine bank took it over and made it profitable - so it was the Philippines that shipped it all out and it wasn't a lot anyway. We did make favorable laws for our companies before we left, seems normal.
