Credit Upgrades for US Proxy War on Terror: American Involvement in Mamasapano Debacle Keeps Surfacing

Last Sunday I posited of my non-economic theory for credit rating upgrades on the Philippines. I said that this involved a quid pro quo or specifically, increased US military access on Philippine soil and the Philippine government’s fighting a proxy war for the US neocon regime.

Of course, there may be other factors behind credit ratings changes and growth projections. These usually involve complex issues from many added variables which may include non-economic factors. For instance, how much underwriting business has been generated by these agencies from their previous self-determined upgrades? Have there been geopolitical horse-trading deals in exchange for credit upgrades? Perhaps ‘I scratch your back you scratch may back’ where credit ratings upgrades could have been made in exchange for expanded US military access and presence in the Philippines? Remember of the heavy US involvement in Mamasapano debacle that has been entirely whitewashed?

Curiously despite being repeatedly DENIED and REJECTED, American involvement in Mamasapano keeps surfacing with more twists being added…

From today’s Inquirer Headlines: (bold mine)

That there were Americans among the SAF commandos who carried out the covert operation to take down Malaysian terrorist Zulkifli bin Hir, alias “Marwan,” was one of the most persistent rumors that circulated in Central Mindanao after the Mamasapano clash.

Forty-four SAF commandos lost their lives in the botched operation, but it was said that two Americans were also killed in the clash with Moro rebels, an allegation that was promptly denied by the US Embassy in Manila.

But the rumors persisted and weeks after the Mamasapano clash, the Joint Special Operations Task Force-Philippines closed its mission in the country.

One of the dead was allegedly a “blue-eyed man.” The other was black and huge that he could not be carried on the gurney as his body was whisked away by his compatriots.

So instead of one, two foreign cadavers was recovered at the scene… Yet ironically such has been classified as 'rumor'

Hmmm….

More…

All Inquirer sources requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter, with the investigation ordered by President Aquino of an “alternative truth” about the Mamasapano clash still going on.

Two other Inquirer sources said in separate interviews that they were puzzled why a US-contracted, noncombat Evergreen Bell helicopter arrived almost immediately after the encounter.

The chopper landed near the provincial headquarters of the PNP in Shariff Aguak for the evacuation of the SAF casualties.

Or has it been that the “sensitivity of the matter” has really been about the US government having directed the entire Mamasapano operations through the highest Philippine official of the land?
