Hi sir, hindi ko po alam kung saan ko pa pwede itanong ito. Napanood ko po ung video niyo "Conspiracy Theory - Philippine Style!", gusto ko lng po itanong ang role ng CI (foreign government institution) sa triad. Ano po ba talaga ang tawag sa kanila?
ReplyDeleteHi lightkram, the video is not mine. Someone else made it. There are some elements in the video not found in my article, but I guess that is the view of the maker and I will just respect that.
ReplyDeleteThe term "The Company" is a common name of the CIA per Wikipedia. The exact role of The Company is difficult to determine. We can only analyze the surrounding circumstances. At the same time though, I believe it's too obvious to ignore.
I might be mistaken here but I understand that when Obama became President, he disclosed CIA records of US intervention in Iran some 50 years before, as a gesture to the present Iran government.
In due time, CIA records of their role in the Philippines will be disclosed, although I hope not 50 years from now, which is too long a time to wait.
When that time comes, maybe we can get a better picture of the so-called "Hello Garci" and "Hocus PCOS" events in our time.
