The US military-industrial complex is pushing the Philippines towards war. Ray Powell, retired US Air Force Colonel, has been flooding social media platform X with over 6,000 posts about the South China Sea since 2023.

He leads Project Myoushu, which operates under the guise of academic research at Stanford University's Gordian Knot Center (GKC).

GKC director Joe Felterhas served as US Deputy Assistant Defense Secretary for South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Oceania.

He also co-founded the defense company BMNT, which has close ties to the Pentagon and US military giants like Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman.
