WIKILEAKS: GEORGE W. BUSH WANTED TO TRANSFER THE SEAT OF U.S. GOVERNMENT TO IRAQ

gty_white_house_replica_wy_141028_16x9_992Ebril, Iraq (The Adobo Chronicles) – The latest secret document to be published by WikiLeaks, the international online organization that has been uncovering classified information, reveals that President George W. Bush wanted to transfer the seat of the U.S. Government to Ebril in Northern Iraq.

It was purportedly part of the overall plan that began with the U.S. invasion of Iraq disguised as a search for Saddam Hussein’s Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).

The document shows that Bush was so confident that he could find WMD to justify his desire to colonize Iraq that he ordered the construction of a White House replica in Ebril.  His plan was to occupy the “other” White House in Ebril for the rest of his presidency. Bush is known to fancy desert weather.

Following the latest leak, ABC News went in search of the  White House replica in Ebril (see photo), and found that it was never fully completed.  It is still undergoing the final touches but it is now owned by a prominent Kurdish businessman.

So the next time you see a photograph of the White House, it may not be the one on 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

JOLLIBEE TOPS LIST OF CHAIN RESTAURANTS AMERICANS HAVE NEVER HEARD OF

jollibee-4Oak Brook, Illinois (The Adobo Chronicles) – A good number of Americans are quite familiar with adobo, lumpia and pancit, but most have not heard of Jollibee.  Is it a bird? Is it an insect? Is it a clown?

The answer is: none of the above. It is the fast food chain restaurant that continues to be the greatest threat to McDonald’s in the Philippines, and who knows, perhaps even in the international fast food market. Its menu includes favorites like chicken joy, (sweet) spaghetti, and burgers cooked Filipino-style. It also serves traditional Pinoy breakfasts like tapsilog, longsilog, and bangsilog.

A recent survey conducted by thrillist.com put Jollibee in the number one spot among international chain restaurants that Americans haven’t seen or heard of before. It ranked the best among food chains that originated in countries like Russia, Singapore, Germany, France, the U.K., Brazil and Japan.

CaptureUpon hearing of the survey, top executives at the McDonald’s headquarters in Illinois convened an emergency meeting to strategize on how to counter what they expect to be a sudden surge in the popularity of Jollibee in the U.S.

“We’ve pretty much given up trying to beat that fat, stupid, happy bee in the Philippines, but for it to threaten our business here in America is just not acceptable,” a spokesperson for McDonald’s said.

Gird up your loins. Jollibee may soon be coming to a mall or street corner near you.

Doral, Florida (The Adobo Chronicles) – Yesterday, The Adobo Chronicles reported that Donald Trump, franchise owner of the Miss Universe Beauty Pageant was quarantined for 21 days for exhibiting never-before-known symptoms of Ebola.

Today, Trump announced from his undisclosed quarantine quarters that he was canceling the 2015 Miss Universe Pageant scheduled for January in the City of Doral, Florida.

(Doral, incorporated on June 24, 2003, is a city located in north-central Miami-Dade County, Florida. Conveniently located just one mile from Miami International Airport and twelve miles from Downtown Miami, the city is home to approximately 50,213 residents.)

In making the announcement, Trump said that it would be hypocritical of him to continue with the pageant since he has repeatedly asked the Obama administration to ban all incoming flights from Africa for fear of the deadly virus. The African continent sends a huge delegation of contestants to the annual Miss Universe pageant. “There just would ‘t be enough contestants to justify holding the pageant,” he said.

Trump’s  many businesses have recently experienced bankruptcies, and it wasn’t clear how the cancellation of the 2015 pageant will impact his overall business empire.
