Beijing has accused Manila of organising a “premeditated” provocation and dangerous manoeuvres near a disputed reef in the South China Sea, and Washington of making false statements that have escalated tensions in the region.

Manila said Philippine fishing boats near Sabina Shoal had been targeted with water cannons by Chinese coastguard ships in an incident on Friday, while Beijing said Philippine personnel had threatened Chinese officers with knives.

Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on Monday that the Philippines had assembled a large number of vessels “in an organised and premeditated manner to provoke trouble” in waters near the shoal.

Apparently, I’m living rent-free in the head of a retired U.S. Air Force colonel turned “maritime gray-zone investigator” who thinks the Philippines, China, ASEAN, and the entire South China Sea revolve around his newly invented fantasy threat matrix. Let me make this absolutely clear:

I’m saying something true enough, loud enough, and inconvenient enough to rattle him.

Five native Thai cat breeds protected as national identity

Thailand’s native cats recognised as national symbols

Leave it to Singapore’s media to demonize Thai cats under the guise of “concern” for strays. And when it comes to soft power, it seems they’re unaware of cultural icons like Hello Kitty, Japan’s Cat Island, or the beloved felines of Istanbul.

“‘Gen Z’ Mobs Strike Again – Target Mexico”

Tina Marie (Ms. Cat)2 Comments

Brian Berletic:

“Gen Z” Mobs Strike Again – Target Mexico – Evidence So Far of Who is Behind it US NED-funded media like “Animal Politico” and US NED “Democracy Award” winner and former Mexican president/millionaire Vicente Fox are openly promoting the protests “organized” on mainly US-based social media platforms – as per VERIFIED US-engineered color revolutions elsewhere this year including Nepal, and dating all the way back to the so-called “Arab Spring” in 2011. The US destabilizing Mexico amid impending war on Venezuela in South America would reflect Washington’s acceleration toward, not “retreat” from its pursuit of GLOBAL hegemony – Latin America being located on the globe along with Africa, the Middle East, and Eurasia…
