## Resource

Yesterday I had the Colonel back on for part 7 of our CIA Files series. This week we covered the Philippines, and how we see the same patterns in this part of the world that we have talked about recently in Greece and Italy. We talked about how the American intelligence community paved the way for corporations and their land grab, the election interference, and the involvement of the US trained Philippine soldiers that were involved in Korea, and later in Vietnam and Indonesia. You might be noticing a pattern at this point, but this week’s show will help set the the table for later events in Southeast Asia. You can find Colonel Towner-Watkins on Twitter and Rumble .
