Former FSM president says Chuuk independence 'crazy' A former Federated States of Micronesia president says the Chuuk Independence Movement is crazy if it thinks it can be successful in efforts to secede. Former president John Haglegam, who now te…

Seems to me that your scenario is realistic, marc.

44 years ago on August 9, 1974, President Richard Nixon resigned in disgrace to avoid impeachment and criminal charges for obstruction of justice. Next?

Sadly, the Trumpsters get all their misinformation from Fox News, from Alex Jones' InfoWars, from Putin's RT (Russia Today) and from other rabidly right-wing, racist, Russia-loving sources. https://venturebeat.com/2018/08/06/apple-facebook-and-sp…

Welcome back, kinen!

Voting yes for independence will guarantee that Chuukese lose all Compact benefits, including their right to live in the U.S. without a visa. Voting no guarantees that at least some of the Compact benefits will continue, including the right of Chuuk…

The only environment Trump cares about is the grass on his golf courses.

I believe that the US will honor the Compact as promised until 2023. After that, who knows.

China could have "hundreds of unsinkable carriers?" Like Japan had when it controlled Micronesia? And how did that work out for Japan? And for Micronesians?

marc, I am not an attorney, just someone educated enough to read and understand the Compact. The Compact clearly lists the three ways in which it can be terminated: 1) Mutual agreement by both countries; 2) Unilateral termination by the U.S.; 3) Un…
-
marc, you are mistaken about a very important point, namely that the Compact can be terminated only by mutual consent. That is not true. It can be unilaterally terminated by EITHER the FSM or the U.S. The relevant text regarding unilateral termin…

In Micronesia, officials are looking for help in preserving a mysterious ruin. Nan Madol, once a royal burial site, has been dubbed “the eighth wonder of the world” and the “Venice of the South.” Created between the 13th and 17th centuries, the si…

In the Marshalls, canoes have always been made from the trunks of breadfruit trees, not from bamboo. Which "ancestors" used bamboo to make their canoes?
-
Well said, marc. I agree with you that the FSM CAN change how the four states interact with the national government. As the largest of the four states, Chuuk can take the lead to enact those changes. If necessary, the FSM constitution can be amen…

Palau won 32 gold medals, 17 silvers and 20 bronze, amassing 69 total. Guam and the Marshall Islands tied with 29 gold medals each, but the nod for second place went to the Marshalls as it earned 17 silver medals to Guam's 12. The Marshalls had …

$130,000 is how much the current U.S. president paid to a porn star named Stormy Daniels to keep her silent about their extramarital "intimate relationship." Good to know that FSM congressman can now afford to do the same.

I would much rather have airline employees, not Chuuk state employees, do the passenger screening.

Brilliant! We ask Putin to adopt Chuuk into the Russian Federation. Then we call his best friend Donald to help arrange a meeting. Finally, we share a bottle of Russian vodka to celebrate our "independence."

Although the Compact's annual health and education sector grants will expire in 2023, it is my understanding that the Compact does not totally end. Many valuable Compact programs and benefits MAY continue. In my view, the FSM and RMI governments…

Thanks for your report, noname. I hope the person who fainted is okay now.

Oalong: When the U.S. Ambassador to FSM states clearly that the U.S. has no intention of negotiating a new compact, I believe him. I have no doubt that some FSM politicians want people to believe otherwise, but I don't believe them. It takes TWO g…

SUMMARY FROM VARIOUS NEWS ARTICLES lol "There is no allegation IN THIS INDICTMENT that any American citizen committed a crime," Rosenstein said at a news conference." Wait for the next indictments. Already, we have this: Fake news? lol

Perhaps. My take is that Ambassador Riley, speaking for the U.S. government, hopes that Chuuk does not secede.... but he respects the right of the Chuukese people to decide their own future. That seems fair to me.
-
Putin has named Trump his Best Friend Forever
-
-
Ambassador Riley agrees with you. He clearly states that Chuukese should make their own decisions....and that they should know the implications and consequences of their decisions.
-
Presenting facts is not interfering. Listen to the video. Riley clearly states that the U.S. encourages Chuukese to make their own decisions. He does not tell them how to vote on the issue of independence...or on any other matter.
