How is the US Convincing the Philippines to Destroy Itself?

How is the US Convincing the Philippines to Destroy Itself? - The US infiltrates a targeted nation’s information space to manipulate a nation’s own population against its best interests; - The US has convinced the Philippine people that its former colonial master is its “ally,” it largest trade partner (China) is its enemy, and that foregoing economic development to confront China is somehow in its best interests; - The US does this through large media networks including “fact checking” projects paradoxically reinforcing lies rather than rooting them out; - A nation’s information space is as important to protect for national security as its physical domains (land borders, shores, and air space); References: SCMP - China-Philippines ties on ‘brink of total breakdown’: unpacking the collapse (June 2024): https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/politics/article/3268506/china-philippines-ties-brink-total-breakdown-unpacking-collapse Reuters - Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China during pandemic (June 2024): https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-covid-propaganda/ US State Department, Office of the Historian - The Philippine-American War, 1899–1902: https://history.state.gov/milestones/1899-1913/war US State Department, Office of the Historian - Courses of Action in Vietnam (November 1965): https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1964-68v03/d189 Poynter - Poynter’s Top Funding Sources (June 2023): https://www.poynter.org/major-funders/#1632843888743-52666069-9ec9 US Embassy (Brazil) - Online Masterclass in Data Journalism: U.S. Embassy Promotes Free Event for Journalism Students (March 2021): https://br.usembassy.gov/online-masterclass-in-data-journalism-u-s-embassy-promotes-free-event-for-journalism-students/ University of the Philippines - Facts vs Fakes: UP fact-checking initiatives against disinformation (April 2024): https://up.edu.ph/facts-vs-fakes-up-fact-checking-initiatives-against-disinformation/ PressOne - FACT-CHECK: US not building new military bases in the Philippines (November 2023): https://pressone.ph/fact-check-us-not-building-new-military-bases-in-the-philippines/ Reuters - Marcos says US access to Philippines bases not meant for 'offensive action' (May 2023): https://www.reuters.com/world/marcos-says-us-access-philippines-bases-not-meant-offensive-action-2023-05-04/ PressOne - Socmed personality’s pro-China narrative on WPS shared across various pro-China disinformation websites (November 23, 2023): https://pressone.ph/socmed-personalitys-pro-china-narrative-on-wps-shared-across-various-pro-china-disinformation-websites/#google_vignette US Congress - H.R.2329 - Countering Chinese Communist Party Malign Influence Act (2021): https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/2329/text?r=82&s=1 Where to Find My Work: Website: https://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/ Telegram: https://t.me/brianlovethailand Twitter: https://twitter.com/BrianJBerletic Odysee (YouTube alternative): https://odysee.com/@LandDestroyer:8 Rumble (YouTube alternative): https://rumble.com/c/c-1459863 Weibo: https://weibo.com/u/7726044004 ไบรอัน แฟนคลับ (Facebook): https://facebook.com/BrianThaiFanclub/ Line Group: https://lin.ee/JIxTpKe Gab: https://gab.com/BrianBerletic VK (Facebook alternative): https://vk.com/brianberletic How to Support my Work (and thank you!): Buy Me A Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/TheNewAtlas Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/landdestroyer PromptPay: 0851547235
