I wish I had any influence on anybody, Teddy.
Every country needs investors and fair deals to survive and then prosper. But that shouldn't mean that these investors, their companies and countries take such great advantage of the other country that the relationship becomes more like masters-slave position than anything else.
we share such wishes, Billie -- for our peoples .
unfortunately -- we also share ''claws'' of a certain powers embedded into the flesh of our peoples. that's why - at least in my country with its decades of colonial reality and naturally -- mentality -- there are many that are basically ''dreaming" the american dream but not realizing or realizing it was all working agianst the interest of the home country.
==============
right now -- it seems to be the case a huge ''grass-roots" movement being created already to unseat the president -- by , naturally, the ''wanna-be-ass lickers of america" ''american-filipinos" (not all really, just some) with their counterpart elites in the philipines...
amazing --
in the country the system goes that the president and vice-president can come from different parties, and so are elected SEPARATELY -- it's not a ''take one take all" system..and this is the same with any other elected officials from which an administration is then put together . and there are probably 4-5 different parties.
so the ones that are AWARE of the ''unpatriotic" ones who want to go back to and maintain the old ways -- last represented by previous president who basically licked uncle sam's ass -- are quite aware of the attempt- funded by some really rich , powerful ''filipino americans" and their counterparts back home.
such as a Filipina who is married to an African-american industrialist (LEWIS - who i think was the CEO of Procter and Gamble ) - and is herself ''asset-worth" close to a Billiondollars. who i sscheming with a so-called ''MARTYRED" vice president in the philippines as their poster girl calling for dutertes ''resignation" .
video below shows a young woman (in los angeles) who basically is keeping track of this scheme - and exposes all the links to undermine the philippines . all in Filipino of couse - because she's addressing filipoinos across the world -
but it's funny (for me of course -) because SERIOUS stuff it is -- but full of direct ''in your face'' talk to any and all of these schemers -- billionaires, millionaires -- and calling them out :
"you -- LOIDA NICOLAS-LEWIS -- you with all your billions - you think that you're going to unseat duterte so you and your fellow pig filipinos who think you are some kind of goddess just because you live nicely in the USA and abroad and act like you can't stand poor filipinos or duterte -- just understand that we are not going to stop exposing you -- you have no shame -- and you LOIDA - ? don't you realize you are an OLD HAG and Ugly and no amount of your rich parties where you pretend to be a phlaaaaanthropist to cover up your corrupt connections -- you are where you are just because you went on a blind date and got married to a rich black americans? who are you really? do you think filipoinos the world over don't know YOU'RE the guys who paid that FAKE, FAKE FAKE PROTEST IN NYC saying duterte murderer? -- and aren't you even good enough tha tall you can PAY FOR THE FAKE protests are poor black americans? who else got that but because you are married to a black rich american? ".
that kind of talk --
