On Dec. 9, China Coast Guard vessels fired water cannons at Philippine supply ships in the Scarborough Shoal, where the Philippine ships had arrived to resupply fishermen. That’s just the latest skirmish in the disputed atoll, which is located near the Philippines but was seized by China in 2012. In fact, in recent months, China has markedly increased its maritime bullying in the waters off the Philippines. That trend is already beginning to spread nervousness among Western businesses interested in friendshoring some of their operations to the Philippines—which may be precisely what China is after.
The water-cannon attack on the Philippine supply ships, which resulted in one of the vessels suffering engine damage and having to be towed back to port, came only a few weeks after two other heavy-handed actions by Chinese vessels near the Philippine coast.
In late October, a Philippine supply vessel and a vessel from the Philippine Coast Guard were bumped, respectively, by a China Coast Guard vessel and a vessel belonging to China’s maritime militia. The incidents took place near the Second Thomas Shoal, in waters that both the Philippines and China consider their own. In 2016, the tribunal in charge of enforcing the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) sided with Manila over the Second Thomas Shoal, but that hasn’t stopped Beijing from claiming it is the rightful owner and underlining this point through various maritime provocations.
Indeed, for the past decade, there have been regular encounters between China and the Philippines in the desolate waters.
In recent months, China has been particularly keen to demonstrate its presence around the Scarborough and Second Thomas shoals. It has rammed Philippine Coast Guard vessels and boats resupplying fishermen. It has used water cannons against Philippine vessels and tried to chase them away. On just one day in November, 38 Chinese vessels were circling the Second Thomas Shoal’s waters, according to The Associated Press.
“There has been a gradual escalation this year, which you can trace back to February, when a Chinese vessel directed [a military-grade] laser against a Philippine vessel and the Philippines made the footage public,” said Ray Powell, the director of Stanford University’s SeaLight group, which tracks maritime gray-zone aggression. “The footage got a lot of attention, which encouraged the Philippines to take pictures of other incidents that were already happening,” Powell added. “That has continued throughout the year, and now the situation has become escalatory.”
Beijing’s objective, Powell said, is to discourage any attempts by nearby countries to follow the Philippines’ example in asserting their rights to waters that China has unilaterally declared to belong to Beijing. “China wants to communicate that it has jurisdiction in the South China Sea and gets to decide over activities there,” he explained.
The aggression may be of the gray-zone kind—that is, not involving military violence—but it’s decidedly harmful, and not just to the Philippine and other vessels being targeted. “China’s harassment of civilian Philippine vessels carrying out humanitarian missions has a negative impact on shipping in the surrounding waters,” Amparo Pamela Fabe, a professor at the Philippines’ National Police College and a fellow of the U.S. Marine Corps’ Brute Krulak Center, told me. “It also heightens the geopolitical tensions in the South China Sea.”
Indeed, the harassment has so alarmed the U.S. Defense Department that the U.S. military is now making a point of showing its presence off the Philippine coast, including by sending aircraft to circle above altercations between Chinese and Philippine vessels. But in reality, there isn’t much the Pentagon can do to deter the vessels from the China Coast Guard or the maritime militia off the coast of the Philippines: The United States wouldn’t risk an armed conflict with China over the harassment of Philippine vessels.
So the harassment will continue and even expand—and simply being a nuisance in the waters may be China’s whole point, because the altercations are causing considerable anxiety. “Philippine vessels cannot freely enter the area within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone, and Philippine fisherfolk cannot go fishing in the area,” Fabe noted.
And the anxiety doesn’t end there. That’s because the Philippines is one of the countries to which manufacturers keen to reduce their operations in China have turned their attention.
Global manufacturers assessing potential new locations for some of their manufacturing see lots of benefits to setting up shop there. The country has a comparatively well-educated labor force that includes many English-speaking workers. It’s mostly friendly with the West. It’s geographically close to China, which would mean comparatively moderate disruption as entire supply chains are shifted. It even has workable relations with its other regional neighbors, which is indispensable to friendshoring efforts, as no single country can replicate China’s extraordinary all-in-one manufacturing solution.
But getting friendshoring business is by no means something to be taken for granted; competition is fierce among the prospective beneficiaries of this sudden and rapidly accelerating shift. In a July ranking of friendshoring destinations published by the consultancy Kearney, the Philippines had dropped three places since the company’s 2021 ranking, falling to 12th place, primarily as a result by significant efforts by Mexico and Colombia to attract U.S. manufacturers.
And easy access to ports in prospective new locations is crucial as manufacturers decide where to set up shop or expand operations. Without a guarantee that the transportation of components can take place without disruption, manufacturers will be wary of setting up factories in the Philippines or anywhere else in the region.
That’s why China’s maritime harassment is so effective: It not only immediately affects Philippine fisherfolk, shipping companies, and manufacturers, but also makes global manufacturers nervous about friendshoring in the Philippines. And the manufacturers don’t need to be reminded that China can choose to engage in the same bullying of Vietnam and other nations in the South China Sea to whose waters China also lays partial claim and which also stand to become friendshoring destinations. Indeed, China Coast Guard, civilian, and “research” ships have already taken to harassing Vietnamese oil and gas operations in Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone.
China didn’t launch its maritime harassment with friendshoring in mind. But being able to delay or even thwart friendshoring has turned out to be one of the benefits of the harassment. And because it’s not military aggression, it’s unclear what the response should be.
One thing is clear, though: If the world wants friendshoring to succeed, China’s maritime harassment will need to be stopped. The question is by whom.

supernatural s5e16 dark side of the moon (w. andrew dabb, daniel loflin)
not knockin' on heaven's door 😥 this song breaks my heart already from how they used it in this scene:
s2e13 houses of the holy
SAM
I don't know, Dean, I just, uh ...
I wanted to believe ... so badly, ah ... It's so damn hard to do this, what we do. You're all alone, you know? And ... there's so much evil out there in the world, Dean, I feel like I could drown in it. And when I think about my destiny, when I think about how I could end up ...
DEAN
Yeah, well, don't worry about that. All right? I'm watching out for you.
SAM
Yeah, I know you are. But you're just one person, Dean. And I needed to think that there was something else, watching too, you know? Some higher power. Some greater good. And that maybe ...
DEAN
Maybe what?
SAM
Maybe I could be saved.
there's a reason i've only read a couple post-series set in heaven fics. emotional damage.
like jabbing every emotional soft spot i have with a stick
DEAN
It’s okay, Mom. Dad still loves you. I love you, too. I’ll never leave you.
MARY
You are my little angel. How 'bout some pie? Okay.
DEAN
What?
SAM
I just never realized how long you’ve been cleaning up Dad’s messes.
jfc dude. so sam's first memory is thanksgiving with some random girl's family, then his second is running away? guess we're poking dean's soft spots with a pointy stick too
DEAN
Is this Flagstaff?
SAM
Yeah. (He pets Bones.) Hey, boy.
DEAN
This is a good memory for you?
SAM
Yeah. I mean, I was on my own for two weeks. I lived on Funyuns and Mr. Pibb.
DEAN
Wow.
SAM
What?
DEAN
Well, you don’t remember, do you? You ran away on my watch. I looked everywhere for you. I thought you were dead. And when Dad came home…
SAM
Dean, look, I’m sorry. I never thought about it like that.
i didn't think it was possible for an episode to make me cry as much as that djinn episode but hey they did it. good job. what the fuck
DEAN
Wait a minute. Wait a minute. This? This is the night you ditched us for Stanford, isn’t it? This is your idea of heaven? Wow. This was one of the worst nights of my life.
okay so. is this a plot point, someone trying to drive a wedge between them or something. because this is fucking awful.
DEAN
C’mon! Your heaven is somebody else’s Thanksgiving. Okay. It’s bailing on your family. What do you want me to say?
fucking AWFUL.
latest thing i read in fic first and thought there was no way it was canon. soulmates.
ASH
Mm-hmm. Yeah. See you got Winchesterland. Ashland. A whole mess of everybody-else-lands. Put them all together: heaven. Right? At the center of it all? Is the Magic Kingdom. The Garden.
DEAN
So everybody gets a little slice of paradise.
ASH
Pretty much. A few people share—special cases. What not.
DEAN
What do you mean ‘special’?
ASH
Aw, you know. Like, uh, soulmates. Anyway. Most people can’t leave their own private Idaho’s.
i missed ash. he was a fun character and his actor did a great job bringing him to life
ASH
This ain’t the first time here. I mean, you boys die more than anyone I’ve ever met.
DEAN
Really.
ASH
Ah, yeah… you don’t remember. God! Angels. Must’ve Windexed your brain.
i'd always wondered about that, all those times they died before, what happened before they were revived.
my pamela. glad to see her too. little wary of the soft sell on saying yes to michael though
DEAN
So he’s just going to sit back and watch the world burn?
JOSHUA
I know how important this was to you, Dean. I’m sorry.
DEAN
Forget it. Just another dead-beat dad with a bunch of excuses, right. I’m used to that. I’ll muddle through.
JOSHUA
Except… you don’t know if you can, this time. You can’t kill the Devil, and you’re losing faith, in yourself, your brother, and now this?
a) whenever dean talks shit about dad i'm like DAMN STRAIGHT b) hopeless dean makes a self destructive dean, can we not again, please
great. cas is a hopeless mess too.
SAM
We’ll find another way. We can still stop all this, Dean.
DEAN
How?
SAM
I don’t know, but we’ll find it. You and me, we’ll find it.
that was one thing i did look up in future seasons because i'd seen so much samulet fix-it fic. i always thought he tossed it in some random public trash, but this makes it even easier for sam to just pocket it.
Mama take this badge off of me
I can't use it anymore
It's getting dark, too dark to see
I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door
Mama put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
That long black cloud is comin' down
I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door

Catching up on old posts and saw where Pamela Stanford was mentioned as convincing David Duchovny Believer that Monique is David’s real and loving girlfriend. Ha! Pamela is the same person that defended David from the Groupie that insinuated that she spent time with David in his hotel room in Nashville after his concert ( I enjoyed being room service). She said she knew for a fact that David and MP went to their room together. Even though the Mistress whatever said MP was in a different room. How does this Pamela know that he and MP were in the same room unless she followed them up the elevator (Eww, stalker?)? She would not believe D would cheat on MP! She called her a liar. She is totally infatuated with a perfect David!
The only thing I can say is that David can do whatever he wants in this "relationship" and his kept woman will accept all his decisions and actions without complaints and without displeasure. These are the conditions of all relations between sugar daddies and their kept women.

why should 14x10 be the jdm cameo?
lol ok I'm almost certain I've already obnoxiously brought this up to anyone who would listen --- and you know what, I'm going to do it again!
the short answer is: it would actually accomplish everything Lebanon tries to accomplish better. Which is namely 1. give us sexy old man JDM and 2. an excuse as to why he can't stay beyond the one episode.
Lebanon gives us the flimsiest possible reason as to why John has to leave-- because he's brought to the future from 2003, and his absence from the main timeline means chaos and disorder that leads to... Sam Jobs? You would think John's disappearance in 2003 would lead to the exact same thing as in 2005, i.e. Dean goes to Stanford to pick Sam up, and if he doesn't and the estrangement between the brothers continues, surely YED is still active in the world and out for Sam. If anything the alternate timeline should have been something like The End (though in good faith I suppose the Zachariah cameo is hinting at a delayed apocalypse?)
Lebanon's other failures include 1. a redundant rehashing of the Sam-John make-up we already saw in S5, which again John will not remember due to time travel, which leads to 2. no emotional resolution for Dean and John, despite the fact that it's Dean's wish that brings John back, and 3. the weird John characterization which has led to a fanon consensus that Lebanon!John is actually an apparition or an illusion of some kind and not the actual guy.
Now imagine John as part of Dean's illusory bar situation, maybe instead of Pamela, maybe he's there with Pamela. You can even throw Mary in there and have them have their sweet reunion moment. And then you can still have John be Dean's wish, you can still have a reason to kick him out at the end of the episode, you can still have Dean make the decision between this weird version of his dad and his shitty life he's now accepted, you can justify the weird John characterization, you can even have a moment of catharsis between John and Dean, perhaps as a play on 3x10, you can even still have them eyefucking each other over drinks. It just works better! It's even in character for AU!Michael who has a strong affinity to monsters (and djinns! it could have been a play on 2x20) and obsessed with his dad
MICHAEL: And, Sam -- oh, Sam… You know, Dean was his happiest when you quit hunting, leaving him with your dad, just the two of them.
It's so "right there" to me that I'm left like, Did I miss something great about Lebanon? Would this have been too boring and unimaginative? I don't know.

Holiday season is coming! How about something with Vetiver!
As the holiday season is approaching quickly, many businesses and merchants are preparing for the annual array of holiday craft fairs and Christmas markets/boutiques. Among them is Caryl Brandes of Caryl B - Gifts That Pamper!
As November begins, Brandes will be featuring her line of high-quality lotions, creams and bath salts as she returns to the annual Sonoma Women’s Club in Sonoma, less than a block from the historic plaza.
And then by the middle of November, she will be bringing her products to the Marin County Mart Farmers Market in Larkspur. Located between the Larkspur Ferry Terminal and the new SMART Train Station, the Mart serves the communities of Marin County, as well as San Francisco locals who want a break from The City.
Then for Thanksgiving weekend, Brandes will be at the Crocker Holliday Artisan Market in downtown Sacramento at the Scottish Rite Center.
Described by co-chairs of the fundraiser, Lesli Pletcher, Jean Schaffer, Connie Spickelmier & Pamela Trump as “a tradition” and the place to find “one-of-a-kind treasures.”
Proceeds from the annual event support participating artists, Crocker Art Museum’s exhibitions and educational programs. Proceeds also go to Creative Arts League of Sacramento’s arts outreach to Mustard Seed School, Stanford Settlement, Sojourner Truth (SoJo); to low-cost art tours, and other important community programs in the Sacramento area.
During the three-day weekend artisan-crafts-extravaganza, Brandes will be among over 100 artists and craftspeople all providing the best in original works and special products.
Brandes strives to create the best in personal care items and just about every season she debuts a new item or product line variety.
Just in time for the holiday season, Brandes is introducing Warm Woods. “It’s really yummy with notes of Sandalwood, Cedar, Amber, Musk and Vetiver,” said Brandes.
Vetiver is considered to have health benefits and has been used for centuries like aloes, lavender and lemongrass. Like Sandalwood, Vetiver can be traced back to India. The Kannauj region was a major center of trade for this and other aromatic plants, herbs and spices.
During the reign of Emperor Harshavardhana, trade and demand for this perennial plant was so great, a tax on Vetiver was introduced. A very enduring plant it is both resilient and non-evasive.
Used in cosmetics, skin care and aromatherapy, Vetiver has been known in India for more than two millennia and is used in making soap. Naturally antiseptic, Vetiver it has been used to treat acne and skin abrasions.
Because Caryl B products are specifically designed to travel easily in purse, handbag or carry-on luggage, it’s all in the packaging. “This year I am concentrating on gift boxes pre-made or the customer can ask for specific items/fragrances,” Brandes said.
Caryl B schedule for the remainder of the Fall is as follows:
Sonoma Women’s Club on weekend of November 4 & 5 from 10 AM to 4 PM at 574 First Street, East in the town of Sonoma.
Marin County Mart Farmers Market in Larkspur at 2257-C Larkspur Landing Circle; for two consecutive weekends of November 11 and November 18, from 9 AM to 2PM.
Crocker Holliday Artisan Market, Thanksgiving weekend of November 24, 12 Noon to 5 PM, November 25, from 10 AM to 5 PM and November 26, from 10 AM to 4 PM at the Scottish Rite Center, 6151 H Street, downtown Sacramento (cross street is Carlson Drive).
For more details visit each of the events’ websites in the links within the highlighted text.
