CITING WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS, OBAMA ORDERS AIRSTRIKE AGAINST IRAQ

August 8, 2014 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

Washington, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles) – The United States launched an airstrike Friday against Islamic militants in northern Iraq, just hours after President Barack Obama authorized military action against this same country that was invaded by George W. Bush in 2003.

The Pentagon said two FA-18 fighter-attack planes dropped 500-pound, laser-guided munitions on a mobile artillery place near Irbil, the capital of the Kurdish region.The jets came from the USS George H.W. Bush, an aircraft carrier operating in the Persian Gulf, according to a Defense Department official who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military details.

Speaking to reporters minutes after the airstrike, Obama said the goal of today’s action was “to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction and to free the Iraqi people,” using the exact same words by George W. Bush after the U.S. launched the now infamous “shock and awe” in Baghdad eleven years ago.

On October 21, 2011, Obama announced that all US troops and trainers would leave Iraq by the end of the year, bringing the US mission in Iraq to an end. On December 15, 2011, US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta officially declared the Iraq War over, at a flag lowering ceremony in Baghdad.

“The U.S. has been having withdrawal symptoms since we officially ended the Iraq War three years ago,” Obama said.”We needed something that will keep our troops busy, so we decided to look for weapons of mass destruction which may have been hidden by the late Saddam Hussein in the mountains of Irbil. Besides, we need to keep up with our reputation as world police.”

When asked by a White House reporter what makes him think that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction, Obama replied, “We saw credible evidence of WMDs using Google Maps which we then confirmed when we switched to satellite view using Google Earth.”

OPRAH WINFREY VERY NERVOUS ABOUT THE LAUNCH OF SARAH PALIN’S ONLINE NETWORK

Los Angeles, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – Oprah Winfrey is the undisputed “Queen of All Media, with a career spanning many decades, and personal accomplishments that would put Donald Trump to shame.

The 60-year old Winfrey is not only a talk show host, but an actress, producer and philanthropist. She is acclaimed as the most influential woman in the world. When Oprah cries, everybody cries! One of her latest career milestones was the establishment of her own television network, OWN, or Oprah Winfrey Network.

The Adobo Chronicles has learned that Winfrey is very nervous about the recent launching of the Sarah Palin Network. “Tired of media filters? Well, so am I,” the former Alaska governor proclaimed Sunday on her Facebook page. “So let’s go rogue and launch our own member-supported channel. “

Palin’s internet video channel is accessible to both fans and critics at a subscription rate of $9.99 a month. The former vice presidential candidate and Alaska governor described her new channel as a “community” where she and viewers can share ideas. “I want to talk to directly to you on our channel on my terms and no need to please the powers that be,” she says, promising to go beyond soundbites and to “cut through the media’s politically correct filter.”

Winfrey told The Adobo Chronicles that she has never been so challenged by anyone in her entire life, much less from a rifle-carrying hockey mom. She is running scared that the launch of the Palin channel will be the beginning of the downfall of the Winfrey media empire. “When you have Americans believing the unintelligible soundbites and wacky opinions from the likes of Palin, America has a big problem,” Winfrey said. “And when such wackery is given a bully pulpit via the ever-expanding world of social media, the threat to America’s sanity becomes even more real.”

Asked if she had any plans to counter Palin’s latest move, the billionaire Winfrey said she will purchase all available subscription spots on the Palin network, then block all content from reaching its intended audience. “In effect, Palin would be broadcasting only to me,” Winfrey added.

Now we know who the real diva is!

CHURCH OFFICIAL IS ALL PRAISE FOR POPULATION EXPLOSION IN THE PHILIPPINES

July 24, 2014 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

Manila, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – In America, corporations are people. In the Philippines, people are money. That is, according to a ranking member of the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP).

Reacting to a new report that the population of the Philippines is about to officially reach 100 Million, Father Melvin Castro, executive secretary of the CBCP, said that this is good news. “It is a blessing and a demographic dividend,” he added.

It is estimated that 75 percent of the Philippines’ total population are Catholic.

In an interview on the Catholic Radio Station, Radio Veritas, Castro explained what he meant by “dividend” and discussed the great impact of the population explosion, especially on the country’s Roman Catholic Church.

“Just imagine, even if only 50 Million Catholics will put one peso into the Sunday collection basket, that’s 50 Million pesos a week that will go to the coffers of the Catholic Church. Multiply that by 52 weeks, that’s 2.6 Billion pesos a year. Think of what all that money, plus the interest it will earn from the church’s stock investments, can do,” Castro argued.

It is precisely the church’s wealth and influence that President NoyNoy Aquino had proposed a constitutional amendment to create four branches of government: executive, legislative, judicial and the Catholic Church.
