Yesterday (19 August) was Pres. Bill Clinton’s 69th birthday.
Below is my birthday greeting to Pres. Bill Clinton.
August 19, 2015
Dear President Bill Clinton,
I wish you a very Happy Birthday! As soon as I repossess my ancestral land, the Philippines I shall invite you, First Lady Hillary Clinton, Chelsea and her family over to the Philippines ASAP.
For now, however, I am in the process of establishing a government-in-exile for my ancestral land (the Philippines) based in London, UK, and as a Native American.
I wish you and the family the best.
Sincerely,
Bienvenido Macario
JE comments: For some time WAISers have been aware of Bienvenido Macario’s efforts to establish a government-in-exile for his native Philippines. How exactly does one go about that? WAISers would be interested to learn the particulars. It would seem that before anything, you need some powerful (read: rich) sponsors. All politics work that way.

(JE comments: I recommend Bienvenido’s essay on the Flags of the Philippines (link above). Bienvenido points out that the English flag actually flew over Manila for a time, 1762-1784. )

German Genocide in Namibia; U.S. Genocide in Philippines (1899-1902)

The Herero genocide in Namibia was the first massacre of the 20th century. I’d like to add the one-sided battles in the Philippine War (1899 -1902), where Filipino troops were virtually massacred by US Troops. The intended result of the Kaiser’s men was no different from the massacres and genocide of Native American tribes in the 19th century. Anglo-Americans figured if they wipe out the buffaloes, the Native American tribes would follow. And they were right.
Among the massacres and killings of the 21st century, what stands out was the election-related Maguindanao Massacre in the Philippines in Nov. 2009, where 57 people were killed. See my WAIS post:
