WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – In the Philippines, “salvaged” is synonymous with extra-judicial killing. In many cases, the bodies of the murder victims are never found.
The word is equivalent to ‘desaparecidos’ in the Americas — people who have disappeared, presumed killed by members of the armed services or the police.
For the longest time — in the land of the free and home of the brave — it has been thought that there are no desaparecidos in America.
But lo and behold, a dumping ground for desaparecidos has been uncovered just miles from the U.S. capital.
An investigative photojournalist took this photo of a citizen disposal facility in Fairfax, Virginia.
U.S. authorities have been tight-lipped about this shocking discovery.
Many are asking, however, if undocumented immigrants (non citizens) are banned from this facility
This is a developing story.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (The Adobo Chronicles, Washington Bureau) – When the Philippines is at war, the national flag is displayed upside down — with the red stripe on top and the blue stripe at the bottom. (If flag is hanging vertically, the red stripe is on the left and the blue on the right).
How about the U.S. flag?
Well, the U.S. does not have a separate “war flag.”
But many are wondering whether a new way of displaying the American flag in times of war has been implemented. This, after seeing an inverted U.S. flag flying at half-mast at capitol buildings across the country.
Others have even said that maybe, the U.S. flag should permanently be hoisted upside down since American is always engaged in war in different parts of the world.
