Ang Bayan: US intervention seen to rise with signing of PNP-NYPD accord

From Ang Bayan, the official propaganda organ of the CPP Central Committee (Nov 21 edition): US intervention seen to rise with signing of PNP-NYPD accord

US INTERVENTION in Philippine internal affairs will intensify with the recent signing of a Memorandum of Agreement between the Philippine National Police (PNP) and the New York Police Department (NYPD). With the NYPD’s notoriety as one of the most fascist police organizations worldwide, its cooperation with the PNP is sure to result in stepped-up abuses of human rights..... The NYPD-PNP agreement forms part of US imperialism’s efforts to create a worldwide intelligence and police network. In September, the NYPD also opened a satellite office in Kfar Saba, Israel. Aside from Singapore, it maintains other satellite offices in the United Kingdom, Germany and Canada.The International Liaison Program (ILP), which is part of the NYPD’s intelligence division is supported by private donations coursed through the New York Police Foundation. The real amount of donations received is concealed from the public. According to a former police official, the ILP is like a mini CIA that operates outside the structure with unclear legal accountabilities. The agreement entered into with the PNP will serve as added legal cover to intensify US government intervention in the Philippines. It will result in greater interference by the US police and other American police and military agencies in the country. Among the NYPD’s interventionist activities are training, exchanging intelligence information and supplying weapons to the PNP. Before the memorandum of agreement was signed, US forces had already been operating clandestinely in the Philippines. In June, political prisoners exposed the presence and extralegal activities of the US Federal Bureau of Investigation within the PNP Custodial Center at Camp Crame.
