A dang self-righteous never-has-been obsessed with seeking out personal interaction with celebrities. The desired interaction is often, but not necessarily, sexual in nature. Too bad self-proclaimed super sleuth can not get it up any longer but them's the breaks after prostrate cancer and a pump-up penile implant in the gonads.

What a load of utter crap. The facts don't tie in at all logically, names are mixed and confused, sounding like someone with attention deficit disorder. You wouldn't be the same American expert that apologised profusely top Senor Rodwell just before Christmas when your unjustified and heavily biased comments were ripped to shred by various readers? The same spook that retired from blogging altogether to save some face and avoid being sued. For the love of Allah or whatever you want to call yourself, read the freaking book. If you can't afford a hardcover version, get a Kindle for about $5. That's if you can budget that into your measly military pension. Get a life, stooge. Look for someone else who you think is dead or cannot speak up for himself. Rodwell has gone on to do candid radio and television interviews as well as public speaking gigs. He is not in it for the money when he tells the world what a bunch of halfwits his captors were and are. He was shot, starved and treated in a way that probably befits the likes of goons that stab others in the back even when they don't them.

Think, I'd better refer to the non-fiction biography written by Bob East PhD.<br /><br />Dr East is an Australian independent researcher and author, and holds a PhD in International Peace and Conflict Studies from the University of Southern Queensland, Australia. His research specialises in insurgency and associated criminality in the southern Philippines. <br /><br />His latest book ... "472 Days Captive of the Abu Sayyaf - The Survival of Australian Warren Rodwell" .... Cambridge Scholars Publishing, United Kingdom ... follows on from his 2013 publication "Terror Truncated: The decline of the Abu Sayyaf Group from the crucial year 2002". <br /><br />http://www.cambridgescholars.com/472-days-captive-of-the-abu-sayyafWilma Fingardoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02181283900752949572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665291476400850140.post-18147831778807919312014-10-21T09:37:38.328-07:002014-10-21T09:37:38.328-07:00http://fatforeigner.wordpress.com/2014/10/21/warre...http://fatforeigner.wordpress.com/2014/10/21/warren-rodwell-story-by-danny-jovica-expats-association/<br /><br /><br />WARREN RODWELL Short Story by Danny Jovica (Expats Association)<br /><br />Reclining on the couch, relaxing after a long day and my mobile<br />phone unexpectedly rang. I checked the time, and saw it was 10pm and noted the<br />incoming call was from an unknown number. I wondered who could be calling me<br />this hour.<br /><br />I answered and to my astonishment I found myself talking to none<br />other than Warren Rodwell (long time kidnap victim of the Abu Sayyaf terrorist<br />group in the Philippines). I had previously contacted Mister Rodwell inviting<br />him to join Expats Association in an honorary administrative capacity. This particular evening, he confirmed that he had received my latest message advising that Expat Association had just been granted charity status in Australia, and that I<br />wanted to talk to him by phone.<br /><br />As founder of Expats Association, I found myself no longer able to<br />be tired, Warren Rodwell had my captivated attention as the next four hours<br />unfolded with the telling of his detailed kidnapping and his experiences he had<br />as a hostage. The instant impression I got was Warren is an intelligent,<br />articulate and worldly man.<br /><br />On the 5th of December 2011, Warren’s sister received a<br />call - not from Warren, but from the Australian Embassy in Manila, calling to<br />inform her that her brother had been kidnapped and taken hostage by the Abu<br />Sayyaf terrorist group. They were making demands of USD$2 Million for his<br />release or he would be beheaded! <br /><br />Our discussion turned to the lead up toward these events and it<br />became apparent that the cause of Warren's problems started with ....<br />http://expats.org.au/general-news/warren-rodwell/warren-rodwell-story-by-danny-jovica/<br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08807392290529823800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665291476400850140.post-90871361672547688332014-03-18T17:21:13.689-07:002014-03-18T17:21:13.689-07:00Filipina marriage scams occur when a woman lures a...Filipina marriage scams occur when a woman lures an unsuspecting Western man into her dangerous web with promises of love and devotion. The man who is usually from the United States, United Kingdom, or Australia falls in love with the person the Filipino woman is pretending to be and marries her. <br /> <br />Once the deceptive woman gets what she wants out of the marriage, she discards her husband. Sometimes, the Filipina will trash the husband's reputation in the process, and if there are children involved the situation becomes even more frightening.<br /><br />The one's who have gained out of this kidnapping crime are the terrorists and the local Filipino wife, who tried to trash the husband's reputation right from the get go. Strange that she kept using her maiden name after marriage. Why didn't she sell his house and the water filling station as she claimed, (but was quickly exposed to be untrue) to raise ransom money? <br /><br />After release, MIraflor (Grace) Gutang said, "When I go there (to the hospital) I want to see him, I want to taking care of him, I want him to meet me but the guards said Warren don't want to see me in person,'' she said. Mr Rodwell was lucky to get out of this ordeal. Perhaps. He preferred to stay alive without her in the same country as him.<br /><br />http://www.livinginthephilippines.com/forum/index.php?topic=48479.new;topicseen#new<br />Wilma Fingardoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02181283900752949572noreply@blogger.com
