The HUB Directory developer, Gilman Jones A little history on The Hub Directory  The rationale for putting this together was so that expats could get recommendations from other expats, for any area of the country just by pulling up a national directory. Easy right? But developing it was a different story. As we asked for the guys to share their favourite hangouts the recommendations trickled in slowly over time and it took about 2 years to get to this point. Whew !!.. What a long haul ! but finally we got to the place where we thought it would be a useful piece of work. We have covered the whole country and we know there is much more to come. As I see it, expats helping expats is a beautiful thing and this directory was made possible with many, many people (all expats) making their recommendations. Honestly, it was more work than I realized that it would be at the outset.. Of course once we received a recommendation every establishment had to be researched and then entered ...

United States Embassy Manila, Philippines Security Alert - U.S. Embassy Manila, December 17, 2019 Location: Throughout the Philippines Event: The Embassy reminds U.S. citizens to exercise caution while traveling and residing in the Philippines. The holiday season is a prime time for criminal and terrorist activity. While victims can oftentimes ‎simply be at the wrong place at the wrong time, they can also be targeted because of a perception of affluence. In years past, there have been incidents of robbery, pick-pocketing, thefts of property from vehicles, and unoccupied residences being burglarized. Any public event that draws holiday crowds can be a target for terrorist groups seeking publicity for their cause. Actions to Take: · Keep a low profile. · Do not display signs of wealth, such as wearing expensive jewelry or watches. · Stay alert in locations frequented by tourists and/or Westerners. · Avoid crowds. · Avoid walking in dark or isolated areas. · Al...

Paul Harvey was a broadcaster who rendered daily news on the radio from the 1950s through the 1990s, and inspired generations of Americans with true stories of goodness and heroism with his daily, “The Rest of the Story.” He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2005 for his contributions to the nation. At his peak, his broadcasts reached as many as 24 million listeners and readers, as 1,600 radio stations and 300 newspapers carried his program and columns across the nation. One broadcast, which he titled, “If I Were the Devil,” ran originally in 1964, but he updated it several times over the years, and the version detailed below aired in 1996. In Paul Harvey’s own words, here is what he said he would do, if he “were the devil.”        “ I f I were the prince of darkness, I would want to engulf the whole world in darkness. I’d have a third of its real estate and four-fifths of its population, but I would not be happy until I had seized the ripest appl...

     I t turns out that not many expats have an opinion to share on the subject of competition between nations for global domination.  Those that do essentially seemed to have an unclear perspective of the coming  world war which , in my opinion will be nothing like the first 2 world wars. It is and will continue to resemble a chess match where the stakes could not be higher.  When we refer to the NWO we are essentially talking about "world domination" irrespective of how its dressed up. It is a competition for control the planet and its inhabitants. The goal is to rule the world. One may refer to it delicately as an international government which provides consistency through regulation and law for all citizens of the world and all nations therein. But in essence it is simply world domination and is extraordinarily unattractive for the average citizen of the world like you and I.  As I feel compelled to write about this phenomena I hav...

Do not let the uniform fool you      T he New York Times on Thursday covered U.S. Army Lt. Col. Jim Hickman’s explosive allegations against Democrat “star witness” Lt. Col. Alexander S. Vindman by casting aspersions on Hickman’s character. Last week, Hickman divulged on Twitter that Vindman “really talked up” President Barack Obama and ridiculed America and Americans in front of Russian military officers when Hickman worked with him in Grafenwoher, Germany in 2013. Hickman said that he “verbally reprimanded” then-Major Vindman after he heard some of his derisive remarks for himself. “Do not let the uniform fool you,” Hickman wrote. “He is a political activist in uniform.” The Times characterized Hickman’s account as “unsubstantiated,” even though it was backed up by his boss at the time. And on Friday, a second individual who witnessed the incident, provided American Greatness with a statement saying Vindman “was uncomfortably supportive of Obama” and “almost ...

It’s amazing to see the elite consensus about Mexico congeal in real-time around failed ideas and political biases. In the wake of the massacre of nine Americans, including six children, earlier this week by cartel gunmen just fifty miles from the U.S. border, Bret Stephens of the New York Times already knows who to blame and what to do about it.       A ll it took was a quick flight to Mexico City and dinner with an elder statesman—and voila! Mexico’s problems, he says, are all the fault of Donald Trump and his Mexican counterpart, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and the answer is to do in Mexico what we did in Iraq. Let’s take these assertions one at a time, beginning with Stephens’ facile notion that the crisis in Mexico can be blamed on Trump and López Obrador, whose “managerial incompetence and ideological inanity” have apparently put the country on a fast track to becoming a failed state—all in a just a few short years. How could this be? Stephens cites Trump’s dem...
