MY Facebook page is being inundated by US-Proxy groups spewing anti-China and warmongering propaganda day in and day out.
I have been listing the groups’ names as I scan my page and they outnumber the other non-propaganda post 3-to-1.
Some of the groups mix anti-China propaganda with anti-Duterte or anti—DDS material. You can see the convergence of the warmongering, anti-China and the anti-Duterte political lines (as well as the pro-Sara impeachment campaign and the anti-Cayetano senate majority).
Here are some of the FB groups I described above:
Indo Pacific Report, Military Channel Group, Military Explained, USISA, China Documentary, Laban Balita, Hotline News, Better Philippines Initiative, Juliet Charlie, BBM Loyalist Nationwide, Dragon Heart, Boycott Chinese Products.
Every so many days new FB groups of the same ilk pop up. Some are very consistent posting almost several times a day. I am evaluating and re-evaluating as I review them regularly.
The top warmongering, anti-China group among those I listed as the first on my list, the Indo Pacific Report, which I discovered upon looking into its “About” section emanates from London, United Kingdom.
As I write this article, in the last 24- hours the Indo Pacific Report posted the following: Why Britain’s Warship Visit to Manila Signals a Permanent Indo Pacific Shift; China Just Surrounded The First Island Chain with 100 Ships Taiwan is Sounding the Alarm.
The third but likely not the last post for today by Indo Pacific Report is, “Why the Philippines’ Submarine Cable Network is the Indo-Pacific’s Most Overlooked Security Vulnerability.”
On May 23 it posted: Philippines Needs America for Security and China for Trade as it tries to justify US militarized ties with the Philippines. Earlier it posted “European Navies are Showing Up in the Indo-Pacific – And Beijing’s Isolation Strategy is Failing.”
Let’s look at the Boycott Chinese Products page. It posted on May 22 “Ipinagtatanggol ang Ating Karagatan” (Defending out Seas) portraying a Chinese Coast Guard spraying water on a Philippine Coast Guard ship as the “victim.”
On May 26 it posted an attack on Imee Marcos making the charter change exposé and describing it as “Playing victim, made fake news, invented a tale with evidence by this agent of China…”
The Jay Tarriela page is high on the list of anti-China, warmongering disinformation pages of the Americans and its proxies, but to the knowledgeable, his posts reveal more the weakness and duplicity of his responses to Chinese embassy deputy spokesman Guo Wei’s devastating dismantling of the claims and arguments presented by the Philippine Coast Guard-West Philippine Sea spokesperson.
I commented on Tarriela’s post last May 21 replying to the Chinese embassy on “overlapping claims”: “Tarriela, debate with the youngest member of our group, 24 years old. Dare?”
The weeks are passing and he hasn’t dared to accept.
Tarriela and his backers have been so beleaguered that the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) had to step in and support him with an online podcast, dress him up and invite equally lying guests to buttress his failing credibility – to no avail.
Topping them all is ex-US Air Force Colonel, psy-op agent and infiltrator Raymond Powell’s page. His May 21 post of “Why should we care about the US-Philippine Alliance” interview with ex-US Ambassador to the Philippines Marykay Carlson reflects the disinterest that Americans have in their “ally” the Philippines as they see President Trump wooing China for markets and rare earth minerals.
