On July 13, 2016, Arnold Schwarzenegger posted on his Face Book page his photo with then U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron with the comment: “Best wishes to my friend David Cameron. You are the definition of a great public servant.“
As a British-American based in California, I was involved in politics in both the U.K. and the USA, becoming a member of the Conservative Party of the U.K. in April 2015 and campaigning for David Cameron’s re-election the same year. Below is David Cameron’s email after the May 7, 2015 general election wherein he won an unexpected landslide victory.
But before I joined the U.K. Conservative Party and was involved in U.K. politics, I was quite active in American politics. Below is one of the yearly holiday greetings of then California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
In the bonus feature of the film Mission Impossible 1 (1996) DVD, one CIA officer explains how the TV series Mission Impossible (1966-1973) influenced him to join the agency.
CHASE BRANDON, Senior Operations Office, CIA: “Mission Impossible Force (IMF) is a group of operatives that can do all the non-attributable THINGS that CIA COULDN’T DO.
If a question could be posed: ‘Would an organization like that exist?’ The answer, logically, might well be . . . well YEAH!”
In Aug. 2014 when Martin Packard asked WAISers for help to get Peter Humphrey and his wife Yu Yingzeng out the Chinese prison. I volunteered. Had we been authorized to proceed, the couple would have been home by Thanksgiving or Christmas 2014. It would take another seven months before we were authorized to proceed. The couple were released in June 2015. This is the first gig.
The Second Gig
On July 22, 2015, I posted on WAIS the case of China’s missing gold. From June 12 to July 8, 2015, China’s stock market lost over $3.9 trillion in value.Also at that time, it was discovered that 3,200 tons of gold were missing from China’s treasury.
Forbes Magazine reported that 1,850 tons of gold was missing.
“Where Is China’s Missing 1,850 Tons Of Gold?” Forbes, World Affairs
I came across this story below, where some charts, graphs and slide presentation materials are very similar to what I saw on Bloomberg TV on July 20, 2015. Also at that time, it was discovered that 3,200 tons of gold were missing from China’s treasury.
Gold mined since 2009 : 2,000 tons Imported from Hong Kong: 3,300 tons Sub-total: 5,300 tons less reported: – 1,658 tons Missing: 3,642 tons
We came up with 3,642 tons of gold, almost twice as much as Forbes’ estimate as missing.
This episode about China’s missing gold has been forgotten considering that I was anticipating positive developments that would come following the release of GlaxoSmithKline consultants British national Peter Humphrey on June 9, 2015. His Chinese-born American citizen wife Yu Yingzeng was released two (2) days later.
The gig was about getting Peter Humphrey and his wife Yu Yingzeng out of the Chinese prison and back to the U.K. There was no mention of any missing gold and therefore no prepping were made regarding gold. In fact the story about the missing gold came out around June 12, 2015 when the Chinese stock market started losing value.
It usually takes me months, even years to do a research on a subject I know nothing about. And yet in the case of China’s missing gold, by July 22, 2015, I came up with this WAIS post: China: Two Astounding Numbers (Bienvenido Macario, USA, 07/22/15 5:16 am).
I simply cannot claim any credit to this research. In fact, I don’t remember how I did this research and discovery of that 1,850 tons or 3,200 tons of gold were missing. The only explanation I can come up with is what they refer to in RV as a “walk-in”.
I usually work alone in this kind of gig. But this time I worked with Brittany S. Lark. And she most likely have an ancestor, great-great-great grandfather or grand uncle either from her mother’s side or her father’s side (or both) who was (were) in the gold/silver mining industry say in the 1800s. If I’m to guess, it would be her father who had an ancestor who was in the gold mining industry in the 1800s. I’m certain there were no gold or silver prospectors among my ancestors.

INTRODUCTION
After the disastrous stint working in the geothermal industry where my late wife, Maria Elena G. Macario was a reservoir engineer for Cal Energy (formerly Magma Power) until 1998 and I was the accountant for two of the geothermal power plants until 1995, we relocated to Costa Mesa, CA in 1998. It was there in 1999 that I was invited to join the Stanford-based World Association of International Studies (WAIS), the oldest e-journal in the world founded by Prof. Ronald Hilton (1911-2007) who gathered together a global network of scholars, historians, business leaders, lawyers, journalists, military officers, diplomats and other experts and conducted daily discussions on varied topics ranging from history, politics, economics, religion, culture and international affairs. Sometime in 2006, I joined another Stanford alumni group, the Stanford Independent Consultants Network (SICN). In 2010, controversy arouse it was revealed that Team USA uniforms for the Winter Games in Vancouver were made in China. In my email “Personal Update Feb. 12, 2011” to this online group that I suggested the restoration of U.S. sovereignty over the Philippine Islands through a compact of free association. Manufacturing and other facilities from Japan and China could then be relocated to the Philippines thereby making these goods “Made in the USA” and could be shipped to the USA tariff-free.
As John Maynard Keynes famously said in 1944: “The avoidance of taxes is the only intellectual pursuit that still carries any reward.”
In one of my WAIS posts on Feb. 9, 2007, “Turkey and the EU . . .”, I listed the purchases made by the U.S. government from 1803 to 1898 including the acquisition of the Philippine Islands along with Puerto Rico and Guam under the 1898 Treaty of Paris that ended the Spanish-American War of 1898. During the negotiations the American commissioners negotiated in a hostile atmosphere because all Europe, except England, was sympathetic to the Spanish side. In a WAIS post “US: Howard Dean’s Remark“ dated Aug. 17, 2008, I stated that native inhabitants of all the lands that the U.S. government purchased automatically became Native Americans, the status I am seeking for my people.
On Nov. 8, 2013, the powerful Typhoon Haiyan devastated Central Philippines. But the sovereign and dependent-independent government despite billions of dollars in World Bank loans gave a dismal response to the emergency. And for the first time on WAIS, I proposed the establishment of a government-in-exile for the freely associated state of the Philippines based in London, U.K. under the personal protection and dominion of HM Queen Elizabeth II. Had the Philippines entered into a Compact of Free Association with the USA, FEMA and other federal departments, bureaus, agencies and office would be responding directly to the emergency. NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), U.S. Geological Survey and other U.S. federal departments, bureaus, agencies and offices could be involved even before calamities happen. “Massive Typhoon Hits Philippines (Bienvenido Macario USA, 11/09/13 11:57 am)” is the title of the WAIS post. Here’s the waisworld link:
What right did Spain have to sell our ancestral land to the United States of America? In the same token, what right did France under Napoleon Bonaparte or Czarist Russia, Spain and Mexico, have to sell the ancestral lands of the Native Americans as listed in my WAIS post re: Turkey and the EU; Mexico and the US (Bienvenido Macario, Philippines 02/09/07 3:28 pm)?
In this post is a long list of gold, silver bullions, bank accounts, bonds, real estate, assets, properties and the natural resources of the Philippines, an abandoned U.S. territory, that I have claimed for HM Queen Elizabeth II. There are claims against the Spain, Japan and the USA.
1.) CLAIMS AGAINST SPAIN – Restitutions are being sought for the exploitation, tyranny, oppression, financial, economic, psychological and other damages including death suffered by the natives through colonization by the Spanish empire that continue to this day with the tacit approval and funding from Washington DC through the ethnic Spanish or part-Spanish and other non-native oligarchic families as listed on the 2015 Forbes richest “Filipinos”.
The Philippines was under the Spanish colonial rule for 333 years (1565 to 1898) before it was purchased by the U.S.A in 1898. Later Washington DC abandoned the Philippine territory twice.
The Native Americans under the control of the Spanish missions were fed just like the prisoners of Buchenwald, a Nazi concentration camp, in its final year. Their daily food ration was 600 to 700 calories. However Native Americans had to work in the fields.
The genocide of California’s Native Americans started during the gold rush of 1849. The involvement of then Gov. LELAND STANFORD in paying militias who carried out the extermination of Native Americans was one of the truly shocking revelations of Floyd ‘Red Crow’ Westerman’s documentary. It was a state and federal government subsidized genocide.
Since the Philippines was colonized and occupied by Spain, shouldn’t we be allowed to colonize and occupy Spain for 333 years as part of restitution? Just asking.
2.) CLAIMS AGAINST THE USA – Restitutions are being sought for the financial, economic, psychological and other damages including death suffered by the natives during the Filipino genocide better known as the Philippine War 1899-1902.
As mentioned earlier, Washington DC abandoned the Philippine territory twice. The first time was in March 1934 when FDR signed into law the Tydings-McDuffie Act (Philippine Independence Act) that reclassified Filipinos including those already residing the 48 states from American nationals to “aliens.” Our parents and grandparents were never asked through a plebiscite or referendum if they wanted to give up their American nationality, become stateless and “be on the road to independence.”
Tydings-McDuffie Act as the inspiration for Hitler’s Nuremberg Race Laws is discussed on the blog post “Waiting For The American Redemption (The 88th Anniversary of the Tydings-McDuffie Act)”. There is no doubt FDR and the 73rd Congress are both guilty of extreme indifference and wholesale discrimination. As enumerated in the above blog post “Waiting For The American Redemption”, other indications that FDR was racist are:
FDR continued to fund the Tuskegee Experiment despite the scarcity of government funds during the Great Depression. Started in 1932, funding for the Tuskegee Experiment should have been stopped in 1933.
In 1935 FDR refused to publicly endorse the Costigan-Wagner Bill, an anti-lynching bill. FDR did not want to antagonize Southern Democrats whose support he needed for the 1936 presidential election.
In 1936 contrary to rumors that Hitler snubbed African-American gold medalist Jesse Owens, it was FDR who snubbed Jesse Owens and 18 other African-American Olympians. Jesse Owens was not invited to the White House.
In June 1939 the Captain of MS St. Louis appealed to FDR seeking asylum for his German-Jewish passengers who were denied entry to Cuba after their visas were invalidated by the Cuban government. FDR didn’t even bother to respond again for fear of losing the support of Southern Democrats in the coming 1940 presidential election.
In this April 5, 1986 interview conducted by Ted Koppel, ousted Philippine strongman Ferdinand E. Marcos, Sr.categorically stated that they did not steal anything from the Philippines and its people. Therefore, all the real estate, bank accounts, assets, treasures, silver, gold, properties and natural resources are free of any claim by the Marcoses, their families, friends, cronies and surrogates.
F.E. Marcos, Sr.: “But I can tell you of this, that we never spend government funds for our personal purpose. If we did, we replace them immediately. I may have committed many sins in my life. But stealing money from the people, from the government, is not one of them.“
==========================
In a March 15, 2015 WAIS post, Roy Domenico introduced a potential WAIS Villa in Tuscany. “Introducing…the Villa WAIS” (Roy Domenico, USA, 03/15/15 4:14 pm)
On March 17, I countered with a proposal to have a WAIS Headquarters in the West Coast “as soon as a substantial portion of my claim has been released.”
Regarding a WAIS Villa in Tuscany, I would prefer to have a WAIS West Coast HQ in Southern California, where the weather is nice and warm like San Diego or Newport Beach. Santa Barbara or up north in the San Francisco Bay Area would also be nice.This will be my priority as soon as I have a freely associated state, Sovereign Native American status and/or a government-in-exile for the Philippines.Of course this would come after a substantial amount of my claim has been released.
===== end of WAIS post excerpt =====
Initially, the claim was made on Wednesday Aug. 3, 2011, on a visit to St. George Chapel at Windsor Castle. In a written prayer for the eternal repose of my late wife Maria Elena G. Macario, I sought the personal protection & dominion of HM Queen Elizabeth II and made the claim, among others, for the repossession, rehabilitation and administration of our ancestral land the Philippines, an abandoned U.S. territory.
On Sept. 6, 2011, in Note on my Facebook (gmail), I reiterated my quest for the repossession, rehabilitation and administration of our ancestral land, the Philippine Islands under the personal protection and dominion of HM Queen Elizabeth II.
Under the personal protection and dominion of HM Queen Elizabeth II, Defender of the Faith, a Royal Charter maybe the more efficient way to repossess, rehabilitate and administer our ancestral land, the Philippine Islands. The Royal Charter would also pave the way for the establishment of the government-in-exile for the Freely Associated State of the Philippines based in London, U.K. Since the claim over an abandoned U.S. territory is made as a Sovereign Native American, presence in the United States of America is necessary. The Royal Charter should provide for the formation of the American Monarchist Society and link the same with the Australian Monarchist League of which the principal claimant is a member. The Royal Charter shall actively support the CANZUK International, the international advocacy organization promoting closer economic, diplomatic and institutional ties including free movement between Canada, Australia, New Zealand & the UK.

1. Restitutions are being sought for the financial, economic, psychological and other damages including death suffered by the natives during the Filipino Genocide better known as the Philippine War 1899-1902. More of a rebellion than a war, majority of the Filipino people welcomed the Americans. However it was Emilio Aguinaldo’s hardline stance and insistence to be recognized as the sole ruler of the Philippine archipelago that turned a dying rebellion to a brutal guerilla war. Today Dec. 12, 2024 is the 123rd death anniversary of our great grandfather Nicolas Aldana who was executed at the machinations of Emilio Aguinaldo. Please see: Nicolas Aldana & Emilio Aguinaldo – Dec. 27, 2015
Two years after President Theodore Roosevelt declared the end of the Philippine War 1899-1902, to introduce the USA’s most recent acquisition, native inhabitants of the Philippines were included in the 1904 World’s Fair in St. Louis, MO dubbed Louisiana Purchase Exposition.
Among the exhibits of the Human Zoo were the Apaches including Geronimo himself.
Not far from Geronimo with a token band of Apaches, were the Igorots of the Philippines

The Shocking Story of the Young Filipino Zoo Girl Put on Display in Coney Island in 1906.
The girl, whose name is unknown, was one of the many indigenous people taken from their homelands and displayed in exhibits such as this. They were often treated like objects, with little regard for their dignity or fundamental human rights. They were forced to perform for the entertainment of the crowds, and their cultures and customs were often misrepresented or sensationalized. She was far from home, surrounded by strangers who looked at her as curious. She was dressed in traditional clothing and made to sit on a bench for hours, with no understanding of what was happening around her. Link: https://www.bygonely.com/young-filipino-zoo-girl/
2. Pre-WW II Philippine treasury assets of sometwo million dollars in gold bullion & $360,000 in silver sitting in the Federal Reserve Bank, San Francisco, CA since March 1942 PLUS$8.5 million worth of silver pesos dumped in Manila Bay in Feb. 1942. [20 tons of gold bars and silver pesos and/or 319 40-pound gold bars and 630 bags each containing 1,000 silver pesos the Japanese recovered in part after May 1942.

12.) The $145 Million Claim Over the Oil Fields of Sabah (Subject to revaluation) The $145 million is based on the WAIS e-mail discussions of Sept. 2002 with Martin Storey and moderated by Prof. Ronald Hilton. But the value is in fact closer to the $10 billion initially claimed.
The $145 Million Claim Over the Oil Fields of Sabah Part 1
In Aug.
2011, Aquino III’s uncle Danding Cojuangco head of San Miguel Corp. bought Esso
Malaysia Bhd, Exxon Mobil Malaysia Sdn Bhd and Exxon Mobil Borneo Sdn Bhd for$610
million including the 88,000 barrels per day Port Dickson refinery; seven (7) fuel distribution terminals; and about 560
refilling stations. A 2012 study,
Singapore-based FACTS Global Energy, reported that Sabah has reserves of about 11-12
trillion cubic feet of gas and at least 1.5 billion barrels of oilrepresenting
12% and 15% of Malaysia’s natural gas and oil reserves, respectively.

13. War Bonds, Securities a.k.a. Victory Bonds issued prior to July 4, 1946 valued at $16 billion after Jan. 2006 per Ben Bernanke’s statement.
14. Benham Rise, also known as Benham Plateau, is a 13-million hectare undersea region east of Luzon. It is enclosed by the coordinates 119°30’E to 132°00’E and 12°10’N to 20°30’N latitude. Bigger than Luzon, the 13-M hectare Benham Rise has been approved by the UN as part of Philippine territory. Benham Rise: The Philippines’ new territory off Aurora province.
[Mindanao is known as “The
of Promise”. The promise of all the promises. Treasures, Land of God, the Lost
Paradise, The lost garden of Eden and the land of the last judgment in earth.
Bible scholars even pointed the Mindanao as the land of promise of all
promises. One verse of the Bible quoted “The God’s kingdom will rise again in
the east of the east seas where the Sun will rises first, in the white sand
shores where the only land which people are willing to live and die for
praising my name ”.]
Leaked diplomatic documents in Wikileaks showed the
United States has a special interest in the natural resources in Mindanao and
the ending of the armed conflict in the region, giving credence to a suspicion
that the United States is prodding the Aquino administration’s peace efforts
with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), including brokering the recent
secret meeting between MILF spokesman Al Haj Murad and President Aquino.
Wikileaks
obtained documents dated February 2006 or prior to the botched signing of the
Memorandum of Agreement on Ancestral Domain (MoA-AD) on Aug. 5, 2008 showing
extensive reference to the untapped rich mineral resources of Mindanao and
tensions in the region which hinder the exploitation of these resources.
The
leaked cable from the US embassy in Manila made particular reference to the
so-called Liguasan Marsh in the Cotabato Basin spanning 288,000 hectares and is
among areas controlled by the MILF.
The Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) has already identified natural gas and
oil deposits in three areas of Mindanao and the Sulu Archipelago: the Cotabato
Basin, the Davao-Agusan Basin; and an area straddling Tawi-Tawi and Sulu. The
Cotabato Basin, notably, includes the 288,000 hectare Liguasan Marsh,

One of Japanese who escaped when the liberators attacked, Lt. Sadaaki Konishi, Imperial Japanese Army, came back a few days later,
with reinforcements. Finding
all the POWs gone he vented his rage on the people in nearby towns and
massacred some 1,500 men, women, and children which they suspected of
collaborating with the liberators. Konishi was later tried for war crimes and
convicted in the Philippines (1946-1947) and hanged in Japan.

World Bank Loans to the Philippines from Oct. 2011 to July 2013 totaling $4
billion for disaster preparation and recovery. When Typhoon Haiyan devastated
Central Philippines on Nov. 8, 2013, there were no preparations. During the
rescue and recovery efforts, it became obvious that there were no funds for the
relief of the typhoon victims. Thousands of dead bodies littered the disaster
area for weeks, even months after the typhoon.
Excerpt:
“Worse, the World Bank gave a $3.7 billion loan to the Philippines in October
2011 and another $300 million last July 13, 2013. There might be other loans,
grants, and aid I am not aware of. I’ve excluded the $150 million donations
from the international community for the typhoon (Haiyan) relief efforts.
The
Philippines is a former US territory and this country has a special
responsibility to those islands and its people. We should stop funding
oppression and the undemocratic oligarchy in the Philippines, withdraw our
Ambassador and encourage others to do the same.

We hereby claim, among others, restitution for the financial,

On Feb. 25, 1986, Marcos was toppled by
“People Power” and Cory Aquino became de-facto president by 1987 Cory Aquino
formed the PCGG Presidential Commission on Good Government, in charge of
recovering ill-gotten wealth from the Marcoses, their relatives, cronies and
politicians. Among the “recovered”
assets from the Marcoses were seven (7) Canaletto paintings of Venice and 122
other priceless paintings by Italian Masters.
In 2005 Ricardo Abcede was appointed the new PCGG Chairman who rushed the sale of these
priceless paintings sold the same at Christie’s of London for
$16 million.
Later, on July 7, 2005, The Guardian
reported that Christie’s of London sold one Canaletto painting for $11.5
million. Art Daily News said another Canaletto painting as being sold at $20
million. All together the Canaletto paintings and 122 other oil paintings were
sold by Christie’s of London at an estimated price from $1 billion to $1.6
billion.

26. a) Among others, government infrastructures and facilities such as ports, airports, water, light rail, rail roads, utilities, power plants, transmissions, shipping, port operations, telephone, telecommunication, satellites, railroads, toll roads other utilities including the Philippine Airlines and profits therefrom since 1946.
26. b.) Missed opportunities. About two months after the death of my wife, on Feb. 12, 2011, I proposed the creation of a Freely Associated State in the Philippines or parts thereof; transfer factories from China and elsewhere, even build new ones if need be. The products of these factories would be rightfully labelled as “MADE IN THE USA” and sold in the US, tariff free. See:
26. c) Continued from no. 17^ Examples of ^Other funds and treasures in Europe and elsewhere that rightfully belong to my people: A Marcos crony and former golfing partner Hernando Disini left the Philippines with the $50.56 million commission/kickbacks for the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant deal. Disini sought refuge in Austria.

26. d) Still other monies and funds found their way to Russia that Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo tried but failed to retrieve. Her brother-in-law Iggy Arroyo deposited funds in a UK bank around 2009. In 2004 Philippine Daily Tribune reported that Iggy Arroyo’s net worth was placed at $5,196,428.57 while First Gentleman Mike Arroyo at $1.5 million. In late Aug. 2011 Iggy Arroyo went back to London. He died of cancer in Jan. 2012.
“In
a telephone interview Friday with the Philippine Daily Inquirer in Bacolod
City, Iggy Arroyo said he was confined in a hospital in London for a
checkup on his liver and surgery to repair his hipbone. He said he first had
hip surgery 12 years ago.”
I don’t
think Aquino III is after any Corona’s, the Arroyos’ or Marcoses assets in the
Philippines or abroad. Below is the real story behind Iggy
Arroyo’s trip to London for “liver check-up”
If Aquino III is after the money Gloria M. Arroyo
has looted from the Philippine treasury, WAIS
Chairman Cameron Sawyer who based in Russia, has given an idea where it went as
early as June 02, 2011. Note that Iggy Arroyo, Gloria’s brother-in-law went to
London in Aug. 2011 two months after
Cameron Sawyer’s post. Cameron and I met in a conference in England last July
2011.
“Every Russian oligarch has at least
a house in London, and many of them live there permanently. There they rub
elbows with their counterparts from India, China, the whole Arab world,
Southeast Asia (Iggy Arroyo?), and much of the rest of the world. The
beneficiary is the UK economy–when they decide to take their companies public,
they naturally do it in London, where they feel at home.”

Occidental Rep. Ignacio “Iggy” Arroyo wanted to spend Christmas in the country

advised by doctors not to do so, congressional chief of staff Edgar Ruado said.
After WWI, the victors awarded former German possessions mostly to Japan with German Samoa going to New Zealand. After WWII, The U.S. took over the Marshall Islands, the Carolines, the Marianas, the Palau Islands.
I am claiming the former German possessions in the Pacific on behalf of HM Queen Elizabeth II considering that those territories were purchased by Kaiser Wilhelm II who was the first cousin of King George V, HM Queen Elizabeth II’s grandfather.
