Georgia, donne schiave in una “fattoria per l’ovulazione”

ImolaOggi9 Febbraio 2025 EUROPA UE, News 2025

Circa un centinaio di donne sarebbero state tenute come schiave in una fattoria per l’ovulazione in Georgia, dove venivano nutrite con ormoni e trattate come bestiame.

La loro terribile esperienza è stata rivelata da tre donne thailandesi, liberate dalle grinfie della cosiddetta “mafia delle uova” il 30 gennaio, dopo essere state sfruttate per sei mesi. Lo riporta il giornale tedesco Bild.

Le donne hanno affermato di essere state tenute prigionieri in una “fattoria umana” in Georgia, un paese dell’Europa orientale, da un’organizzazione gestita da criminali cinesi, che vendevano le loro uova sul mercato nero.

Several thousand soldiers have been deployed in the Swiss ski resort of Davos a week before the start of the meeting of the World Economic Forum that brings world leaders, business execs and campaigners to the Alpine nation each year.

The soldiers are to help protect the meeting's infrastructure and the high-profile participants, the Swiss military said in a statement on Monday. Armed fighter jets are permanently on patrol, it said.

This year's edition of the World Economic Forum will take place from January 20 to 24. As every year, around 2,500 participants from business, politics, civil society, science and culture are expected in the mountain resort in eastern Switzerland.

The World Economic Forum Foundation is set to reveal later this week which government leaders or ministers will be attending.

The Swiss parliament has authorised the deployment of up to 5,000 military personnel to protect the conference. Among other things, they will transport high-profile attendees, strengthen airspace surveillance and secure infrastructure such as power lines.

Restrictions will apply in the airspace above the resort.

Gli altri restanti rimanenti attuali temporanei possono tranquillamente morire o al fronte Ucraino o al fronte interno: non servono piu' a nessuno, neanche a se' stessi. Si', lo sono sono tanti: milioni di milioni, come le stelle di Negroni, ma quel che conta e' la qualita', non la quantita'. Cmq. le devo anche dire per compliance che secondo me la sua analisi e' fondamentalmente sbagliata: gli USA sono gia' in bancarotta da un pezzo, adesso sono costretti a chiudersi nel loro cesso e a smettere qualsiasi attivita' bellica al di fuori del loro emisfero in quanto non hanno piu' le risorse. Quindi la guerra continua, ma non fino alla quarta guerra mondiale, fino alla capitolazione totale, incondizionata dell'Ucraina. I termini della pace li dettano Mosca e Pechino. OK? Quello che aspetta il mondo e' un NWO sotto il calcagno del duopolio di Russia e Cina, che e' molto peggio dell'estinzione de"la" demmocrazzia di O'Biden. A meno che l'Esercito di Liberazione dall'NWO, anche grazie alla Sua partecipazione ... Per favore non ci predichi la collaborazione con altre persone di buona volonta'. Quando c'e' da combattere guerre sante, anche i monaci (e le suore) combattono.

Radical political changes

BREAKTHROUGH - Elfren S. Cruz - The Philippine Star

February 9, 2025 | 12:00am

There are events happening in the United States that could eventually have geopolitical and economic effects on the world, including the Philippines. President Trump and his hatchet man Elon Musk have introduced what can only be called revolutionary changes in the way the US government is going to be run. This is also leading to drastic changes in the cultural values of American society. The US foreign policy at this point seems to be headed for a radical change. The old framework of competition between the liberal democracies led by the United States and western Europe against the authoritarian regimes led by Russia and China seems to be ending.

Trump and Musk, for example, have decided to virtually close down the USAID, which is the principal agency for American humanitarian aid to developing countries. This aid program has been a principal tool for introducing democratic values to third world countries. The end of USAID will leave a vacuum for Russia and China to exert more influence throughout the world. From a recent decree by the Elon Musk task force has come the order for 9,700 out of 10,000 USAID employees around the world to report back to the United States, presumably to be laid off.

In the United States, employees in the principal intelligence organizations like the FBI and CIA are being investigated and there are announcements that there will be major layoffs in these agencies. These are, by the way, the principal or frontline agencies in the fight against Russian and Chinese operations against America.

It almost seems like the Trump administration has decided that they are not going to wage any more struggles against authoritarian regimes.

At the same time, the Trump government has announced trade wars through tariff increases against its closest allies like Canada, Mexico and the European Union. Trump has accused these countries of exploiting the United States.

Donald Trump is beginning to sound like Xi Jinping when they articulate their imperialist ambitions. Xi, for example, has decided to claim the whole South China Sea, including the West Philippine Sea, as Chinese territory. China is also having territorial disputes with India, Vietnam and Japan. Trump is now also stating that the United States may claim foreign territories like the Panama Canal, Greenland, a territory of Denmark, and Gaza presently inhabited by 1.9 million Palestinians.

It has become apparent that US foreign policy will now be based solely on advancing American interests. In a TV interview, an American guest explained that American interests means, for example, that if Tesla, the company owned by Elon Musk, needs to import cobalt from Congo, then it will be American interest that will lead to exerting  influence in Congo, either by friendly means or through force, if necessary.

The big question mark for the Philippines is whether it will be to the American interest to help defend the Philippines against the continuous Chinese incursions in the West Philippine Sea. Trump has also not said anything specific on whether the US is prepared to defend Taiwan.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said that American policy is still to maintain its commitments to Taiwan and the Philippines. Hopefully, this will become part of Trump’s official policy.

*      *      *

In the Philippines, the political headline is definitely the impeachment of Vice President Sara Duterte. The favorite topic among political pundits now is to determine the different possible scenarios about the forthcoming Senate trial of Duterte.

It seems that at the point, the Senate will begin the trial after the midterm elections this coming May. The senatorial candidates do not want to be forced to openly declare their vote for or against impeachment because they will lose votes either way they cast their ballot.

The big question now is whether President BBM will call for a special session before the May 12 elections or agree for the Senate to have the impeachment trial after the elections in June. It seems apparent that the final decision will be based on when the best timing will be to attain the objective of convicting the Vice President. There are those observers who believe that the best timing is before election because there are some senatorial candidates on BBM’s ticket that may change their political loyalties after the election when the political support of the administration is no longer necessary.

The other question is whether the Vice President will just resign if she sees that she will definitely be convicted by the Senate. A resignation will save her from being forbidden to run for any political office in the future. The next question is whether the government will file a criminal case against Sara Duterte in the future based on the quad comm findings of corruption and other criminal acts.

I believe that if the International Criminal Court goes through with filing a case against the Dutertes, the BBM government will also be motivated to file a similar case in the local courts.

This year will see several major political changes in the United States, the world and the Philippines.

PEOPLE WHO HUNGER ARE AFRAID OF REVOLUTION

Hunger, poverty and corruption

VIRTUAL REALITY - Tony Lopez - The Philippine Star

February 8, 2025 | 12:00am

In 25 years, the Philippines suffered massive declines on three fronts: 1) in the output and growth rate of agriculture, once the economy’s mainstay and biggest employer; 2) in economic growth, down to just 5.55 percent average in 2023 and 2024 from 7.6 percent in 2022 and 3) in the quality of governance. Corruption is rampant, massive and breathtaking in impunity.

Combining these three, the result is the Philippines falling from being the richest nation in the 10-nation ASEAN and the second richest in Asia (after Japan) to an economic laggard, left behind by Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and Indonesia, in economic growth rate and per capita income. When the Philippines became Asia’s first republic in 1898, Thailand (1932), Indonesia (1945), Malaysia (1957), and Singapore (1965) were not even nation states.

Singapore, when it began as a nation in 1965, did not even have water, toilets nor electricity.

The Philippines was an economic powerhouse. It established Asia’s oldest waterworks system, the Nawasa or MWSS, in 1878, 18 years before Rizal was killed at the Luneta. It founded Asia’s first electric and railway company, in 1903. That is why Meralco means Manila Electric Railroad and Light Company. The Philippines also founded Southeast Asia’s first bank, Bank of PI, in 1851. The country had plenty money then, funneled into the Manila Stock Exchange, Asia’s oldest stock market, founded in 1927.

Agriculture’s output as a percentage of GDP (gross domestic product) has fallen from 27.6 percent in 1974 when Marcos I achieved a rice surplus with his Green Revolution to 13.9 percent by 2000 and to eight percent in 2024, the lowest ever.

A decline from 13.9 percent to eight percent of GDP means lost agricultural production worth P4.1 trillion or P34,000 per person – money that makes the difference between having food and having none. Compare that to the P200 million each senator or the P100 million each congressman pockets per year, as pork.

With the population growing by 1.8 percent per year, agriculture should grow by at least 1.8 percent per year. Yet, per capita in 30 years, agriculture growth has averaged just 0.2 percent (one-fifth of one percent) per year, meaning, those who are already hungry (31 million today) will never get to eat the basic food they need because the economy keeps adding two million mouths to feed each year.

That our legislators can haul in P100 million to P200 million per year indicates the economy has enormous resources, cash that is stolen systematically.

Indeed, the savings rate is 24.4 percent. Based on a P30-trillion economy, 24.4 percent is P7.32 trillion. So even of if our politicians steal P3 trillion of a P6-trillion budget, there is still money to spare – P7.32 trillion less P3 trillion is P4.32 trillion – exactly the amount the government failed to invest in agriculture in past years to enable every Filipino to eat three meals a day.

Even today, the Philippines has plenty of money. Twelve million overseas Filipinos remit $37 billion (P2.1 trillion) a year. In 2024, our business processing outsourcing (BPO) earned another $38 billion (P2.2 trillion). Combined, the $75 billion is almost ten times the $7.7-billion foreign direct investments registered last year. So it’s not true that foreign capital is not coming in. We get plenty of dollars, $75 billion a year, growing by at least five percent per year. In ASEAN, the $75-billion capital inflow is bigger than each of the FDIs of all ASEAN members, except Singapore’s $141 billion in 2023.

If we have plenty of savings and plenty of dollar income, how come 31 million Filipinos don’t have any food to eat at all and only 35 of every 100 college-age kids are in college? Aren’t food and education a matter of money? Pera pera lang yan.

Answer: Corruption and incompetence. Corruption is stealing. Incompetence is not doing what you are supposed to do, a failure of public officials to deliver basic services – food to eat, public transport, electricity that is cheap, quality education, from elementary to college, and reliable and cheap connectivity or internet or WiFi signal.

Among 180 countries in 2023, the Philippines ranked 115th in corruption perception or index, same as Indonesia, both with a score of 34.

The highest score in Transparency International (TI)’s Corruption Index is 100; the lowest is zero. The higher the score, the more honest the country.

The top four in honest governance are 1) Denmark, 90; 2) Finland 87; 3) New Zealand, 85 and 4) Norway, 85.

Singapore has Asia’s most honest government, No. 5, with a score of 83.

TI says a score of 50 means a country is corrupt, “they have serious corruption problems.” The average corruption score in the world is 43. The Philippine score is 34; it is more corrupt than the rest of the world.

In 2019, the world beat its extreme poverty goal, with only 8.4 percent of the population living below the poverty line of $2.15 a day. The Philippine extreme poverty ratio in 2019 – 20.8 precent, 2.5 times the world average.

The world’s extreme poverty ratio in 2024 was 8.5 percent or 700 million. The Philippine extreme poverty ratio in 2024: 15.5 percent, 17.54 million Filipinos.

“Global poverty is one of the most pressing problems that the world faces today. The poorest are often undernourished, without access to basic services such as electricity and safe drinking water; they have less access to education, and suffer from much poorer health,” says the World Bank.

As early as 2019, the world had succeeded in reducing extreme poverty, to 8.5 percent. The Philippines has not. Why? Corruption.

Says Wikipedia: “Some of the many causes of poverty are bad governance, corruption, a political system dominated by political dynasties, vulnerability to environmental disasters and the lack of available jobs.”

Kakistocracy, kleptocracy: A common epidemic on this planet

Kakistocracy, kleptocracy

VIRTUAL REALITY - Tony Lopez - The Philippine Star

February 4, 2025 | 12:00am

My Feb. 1, 2025 Saturday column, “Gutom Na, Tanga Pa,” has gone viral.

Of more than 250 reactions, 99 percent were angry, at the state of things – food in severe shortage and high in cost, and the exceedingly poor quality of public education.

Kids are malnourished and hungry. As if that is not enough aggravation, they are not being educated at all by the public school system. Kids reach Grade 4 without learning anything at all. They reach age 15, high school, without knowing how to read, how to write, how to count beyond 20. They do not know any science. Talagang gutom na, tanga pa (Hungry and stupid). It’s a formula for a revolution.

In 2024, agricultural production (Agriculture, Fishery and Forestry, AFF) fell 1.6 percent. In 2023, AFF grew a paltry 1.2 percent. Ideally, to meet barely adequately the food needs of Filipinos, agricultural production should grow five percent per year. In the last four years (2020-2024), agriculture output was down in seven of 16 quarters; growth in the nine positive quarters was 2.2 percent or less.

Since the population is growing at 1.8 percent or two million Filipinos per year, at the very least agriculture should grow by 1.8 percent per year, to feed the additional two million born each year.

A 1.6 percent AFF growth in 2023 meant 222,000 mouths could not be fed. A 1.8 percent decline in agriculture in 2024 means two million plus two million mouths plus 220,000 had no food last year. That’s 4.22 million Filipinos who had no food at all in the past two years alone. And that’s on top of a quarter of 120 million Filipinos, or 30 million, who already have no food to eat or barely have enough food to eat.

The Social Weather Stations in December 2024 found 25.9 percent of Filipino families who said they suffered involuntary hunger – being hungry and not having anything to eat. There are 26 million families. So 25.9 percent of that is 6.9 million families. Each family has 4.5 members. So 6.9 million families mean 31 million Filipinos.

Nothing to eat or food poverty is the worst form of poverty. It is the fate of 31 million Filipinos. Without food, a man dies in three weeks.

Despite being incompetent and unable to provide food for at least 31 million Filipinos, our political dynasties prosper year after year, in predictable perpetuity. Alive and kicking, the political dynasties control 80 percent of Congress seats, the 82 provinces, 1,493 towns and 149 cities.

Why is there no outrage at such deplorable state of things? Simple answer: our people are stupid. They have no sense of outrage. They are barely aware that they are being screwed by the very politicians they elected to serve them. These politicians steal up to half of the P6-trillion-plus annual budget. Three trillion pesos are plundered each year.

EdCom II (Second Congressional Commission on Education) says only 25 percent of Filipino children meet the recommended energy intake between ages 6-12 months, with particularly low rates among those from impoverished households.

EdCom II cites a landmark PIDS study finding that Filipino children aged 3-5 had a diet that relied mainly on carbohydrates while consuming 20 percent less protein, 40 percent less fat and 35 percent less carbohydrates than recommended. Notably, children from the bottom 40 percent quintile consumed significantly less protein, a nutrient critical for growth and stunting prevention.

In high school, up to 98 percent of teachers are incompetent. They should not be teaching their subjects at all because they do not know those subjects.

“Sixty-two percent of high school teachers teach subjects outside their college major,” says EdCom II.

“This misalignment between pre-service training and school-level needs undermines the quality of instructional expertise in the basic education system. Compounding this issue, 62 percent of high school teachers who are expected to specialize teach subjects outside their college major. The problem is particularly pronounced in the sciences, with a 98 percent mismatch in the physical sciences and an 80 percent mismatch in the biological sciences, highlighting a critical gap in subject-specific expertise. This lack of knowledge extends to Key Stages 1 and 2, where 13 percent and 16 percent of science teachers, respectively, teach science outside their specialization.

“The teacher education curriculum requires only a minimum of six units each for field studies and practice teaching, which is among the shortest practice teaching requirements in the world.

“Evidently, this impacts teacher preparation quality and necessitates stronger specialized training by DepEd, through the National Educators’ Academy of the Philippines (NEAP).”

In Congress, it takes only a few minutes in the bicam meeting for a lucky congressman or senator to secure billions of pork which he/she can pocket with the COA looking upwards to Mars.

Per EdCom II, it takes 15 YEARS for a teacher to get a P4,320 salary increase, from P27,000 (Teacher 1), to P31,320 (Teacher 3). That’s an average salary increase per year of P288 in 15 years, not even enough to buy the turon merienda of a congressman or senator, daily. A teacher’s pay increase is called “limited career advancement.” A congressman’s billions or pork is called “public works.”

Teachers pour more than 40 hours of work per week, because they do 40 other things called administrative work. Our senators and congressman work at most the equivalent of 70 days a year.

A senator and a congressman each makes P3-million base salary a year, plus get as pork P100 million per congressman and P200 million per senator, each year. The lucky ones get billions of pork.

There is a word for a rule by the incompetent and the worst of men: kakistocracy. It rhymes with kleptocracy.

The Philippines as an AI investment destination

The Philippines are an investment destination only for crooks. I am not addressing only the foreign investors, asian or white, who "invest" in the Philippines, but most of the Philippines investors themselves, and that includes most of the official government policies, of the unofficial ones it is not necessary to discuss at all. 

The "investors" come to the Philippines because it is easy to circumvent laws, to violate laws impunely and to compensate the lack of competitiveness of the economy with the oppression of the labor classes, who work in silence only because they fear hunger more. 

25% of the population is out of the country and, sadly, because of the "organization" with which the government manages them (POEA et al.), they contribute to keep up the feudal labor system oppressing the country. The elites and the political classes are just a mirror of the failed promises of a ruling class that allegedly liberated them from the Spanish and the American oppressors only to replace them with its own oppression.

 AI is on the lips of PHL policymakers since well before the "pandemic", and since them the level of their understanding of it is no different from the level of understanding of the RT-PCR test that they lauded and heralded as the "golden rule" of pandemic management.

 It turned out that the pandemic management was a direct outcome of the US military engagement in the Philippines.

AI will be no different.

Why should it?

Phl as an AI investment destination

VIRTUAL REALITY - Tony Lopez - The Philippine Star

February 6, 2025 | 12:00am

You have to hand it to Finance Secretary Ralph Recto. Despite widespread findings that the country has the most stupid young people on earth (our 15-year-olds are last or next to last in global rankings in reading, math and science), Ralph recently led an investment delegation to Davos, Jan. 20-24, 2025, to sell the Philippines as an investment destination for artificial intelligence (AI).

Marvelous. A country with a severe shortage of natural intelligence selling itself as a destination for intelligence that is artificial, the brain that robots have. Basic to AI is natural intelligence, the capital you have when you are born. The same capital is improved upon by a process called education. Without proper education, a human will have no better natural intelligence than a monkey.

To have proper education, you need good teachers. (At present, 98 percent of teachers who teach science in public schools are incompetent; they don’t know science.) To have good teachers, you need to pay them well. (A public school teacher takes 15 years to get a 16 percent or P4,320 salary increase, or an average pay increase of P288 or one percent per year. At the bicam, a congressman or a senator takes only a few minutes to identify billions worth of pork barrel in the budget that he can pocket and nobody will call his attention for the plunder; no receipts.)

In history, plunder triggers outrage. In 18th century France, people guillotined their oppressive monarchy. In Russia in July 1918, the ruling Romanov dynasty were herded into a basement, shot and bayoneted to death.

To pay well good teachers, you need money. Give the money to the teachers. Do not steal it. Unfortunately, that is not happening.

The consequence is kids who cannot read, cannot write, cannot count beyond 20. Because the money intended to educate these kids is stolen big time, by politicians.  These politicians belong to political dynasties. A political dynasty is a politician whose relatives include people, from grandfather to grandson, as well as in-laws in between. All of them occupy government positions with access to power and money. They abuse their power. They steal the money, systematically.

With the credentials as Special Envoy to the President, Ralph talked to 50 international public and private sector leaders in Davos. During breakfast, the Finance chief spotlighted the Philippines’ strategic advantages that position it as an ideal partner in building the economy of the future.

Recto was joined by House Speaker Ferdinand Martin G. Romualdez, Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) Secretary Ma. Cristina A. Roque and Ambassador and Permanent Representative of the Philippines to the World Trade Organization (WTO) Manuel Antonio J. Teehankee during the briefing.

Ralph and Martin talked to the likes of Marcus Wallenberg, chairman of Skandinaviska Enskilda Banken; Philippe Amon, chairman and CEO of SICPA SA; Catarina Amon, CEO and founder of Classeek; Anthony Tan, CEO and co-founder of Grab; John Riady, Group CEO of Lippo Indonesia; Tony Fernandes, CEO of AirAsia and Calvin Choi, CEO of AMTD.

Also present were Jay Collins, vice chairman of Citi; Helena Lersch, VP for Public Policy of Tiktok; Amit Kalyani, vice chair and joint managing director of Kalyani Strategic Systems Limited and Albert Chang, Managing Partner of Southeast Asia, McKinsey & Co. and representatives from HCLSoftware, ING, Glencore International, BHP and Bitkub Capital Group Holdings.

Recto held one-on-one meetings with senior executives from leading companies, who expressed keen interest in collaborating with the Philippines to leverage AI for enhancing financial inclusion, strengthening the health care system, upskilling the Filipino workforce and more.

Leading US cryptocurrency company Coinbase co-founder and CEO Brian Armstrong showed strong interest in expanding its footprint in the Philippines, recognizing the country’s growing digital economy and the increasing adoption of blockchain technology.

Recto emphasized the Philippine government’s commitment to fostering innovation in the financial sector. He expressed the government’s willingness to provide a robust regulatory framework that supports cryptocurrency adoption while safeguarding consumer protection and financial stability.

Recto stressed the attractive fiscal and non-fiscal incentives under the Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises to Maximize Opportunities for Reinvigorating the Economy (CREATE MORE) Act that ensure the long-term success of businesses and potentially position the country as a hub for AI innovation.

Ralph pointed out that the Philippine government has been expanding its digital infrastructure through the Philippine Digital Infrastructure Project, the National Broadband Program and the Common Tower Program to enhance digital connectivity nationwide – particularly in underserved areas.

The  government has implemented regulations in the digital space to strengthen oversight of digital businesses, such as the Internet Transactions Act and the value-added tax on non-resident digital services.

To take advantage of its demographic sweet spot, the government is continuously upskilling the Filipino workforce through its Artificial Intelligence Strategy Roadmap.

Another keen investor was Revolut chairman Martin Gilbert. Revolut is a global financial technology leader and licensed digital bank in the UK and Europe.

Revolut has diverse global presence and innovative financial offerings that will empower Filipinos and small businesses with improved credit access and more competitive foreign exchange solutions.

ING chairman Karl Guha and CEO Steven van Rijswijk met with Secretary Recto to explore more partnership opportunities with the Philippines, particularly in leveraging AI in its ING hubs.

ING noted the Philippines’ strategic importance, including being a key hub for its operations with 6,000 of its 14,000 global workforce based in the country.

The leading European bank is set to launch soon its pioneering use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in the Philippines, making it the next country after the Netherlands and Germany to host live GenAI applications.

HCLSoftware’s Chief Revenue Officer Rajiv Shesh and Chief Product Officer Kalyan Kumar sought potential collaboration in advancing the Philippines’ digital transformation agenda.

Good luck Ralph.
