Rappler Admits To Forging Its SEC Registration, Corrects Its Filing

Leave a comment

img_8950MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – After weeks of silence regarding accusations that it violated the Philippine Constitution when it filed its business registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the online-only news outfit Rappler has come clean.

Critics have charged Rappler of lying in its SEC registration as a way to skirt around the law which prohibits foreigners from owning or investing in news media.  Instead of registering as a news media outfit, it indicated its filing status as ” Other Monetary Intermediation” which allowed it to secure foreign investment for its company.

Rappler CEO Maria Ressa said that the “error” has been corrected, and posted a copy of its revised SEC registration on the Rappler website.

It is now registered under the classification of “Rap, Music, Recording” with the company type “Entertainment.”

All’s well that ends well.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – There are conspiracy theories, then there are other conspiracy theories.

During the 2016  U.S. presidential campaign, when Hillary Clinton collapsed during an event commemorating the 9-11 tragedy in New York, it was rumored that the presidential candidate who later emerged from her daughter’s apartment feeling great was a body double.

Now, there is a new conspiracy theory that is spreading on the Internet that the Donald Trump whom Americans elected as their 45th president was a body double.

There had been a lot of talk that the real Donald Trump didn’t really want the job of president, so he let a body double continue the campaign after his initial declaration of candidacy.  The double happened to be elected.

So now, the Donald Trump body double who is now president, is apparently merely  a public face and fake persona who’s taking orders from Steve Bannon, the White House chief strategist  believed to be calling the shots for the “Trump” administration.

Bacon: The Only Thing That Could Take Down Donald Trump

Everybody loves bacon. This crispy, salty and aromatic breakfast fare transcends politics. Republicans and Democrats alike love it. Even Christian churches serve it with their pancake breakfasts. Unless you’re a vegetarian or belong to a religion or culture that bans pork, you know you’ll do anything to have bacon on your plate anytime.

Imagine a world without bacon. Of course you can’t.

Today, the American Bacon Manufacturers Association (ABMA) announced that its members have agreed to immediately stop producing and marketing bacon in the U.S. until their one demand is met: for President Donald Trump to step down.

No protests, no filibusters, no lawsuits, no foreign trade sanctions, not even the threat of nuclear war can stop the Donald and his crazy presidency.

But no bacon? Na-ah!
