Yep, this will be the excuse they have been waiting for to go south Africa on the whites south of the border. Not just Panama, all of Central and South America.

What's going on in the first picture? Are they dumping food to cause starvation?

I live in Panama. This guys isn’t a gringo. He is Panamanian and also an attorney. Just because he looks white doesn’t make him a gringo.

This over sensationalized “reporting” is over the top.

Thank you so much Michael because you are the only one bringing this to light. Without your reporting on Panama we'd have no idea things are this serious. It is a critical country for so many reasons and the Panama Canal is critical to the entire world for the movement of goods.

I noticed in your article recently about the letter from the Chinese company "One" regarding them warning Panama that they may have to make other arrangements for the movement of their cargo ships due to the lack of water level in the locks.

I found it very interesting that the name of this company is ONE just like One Health, etc. etc.

Between X and One, it's getting very creepy to say the least. May God keep His hedge of protection around you, anyone working with or in same areas of reporting and all your loved ones. These are perilous times.

His reporting is wrong. I live in Panama. The shooter is a Panamanian attorney for the mines. He runs in circles with the elected government. He’s even on FB. Michael didn’t bother to do basic fact checking.

Having lived here >23 years, I love all the armchair quarterbacks out there. Where I live is known as the bread basket of Panama, so everything grown here feeds all of Panama. Michael, how long has the PanAmerican Hwy been open? In all that time, why hasn't the road been completed through the Darien? There are a couple of reasons, but primarily the indigenous there threatened to kill anyone coming to work on it. You have been there, seen the jungle. It grows too fast to keep a road open, IF one could be built in that terrain. There will be no road built through there, no matter who promises one.

And no one has mentioned:

1. The shooter is related by marriage to Panama's VP,

2. The president left Panama about 10 day ago,

3. The VP's mother is a land holder in the mine's vicinity and figures to financially benefit,

4. If the Sup. Ct. rules the contract unconstitutional before Nov. 30, President Cortizo won't be able to collect his next $1.5M payment, and

5. If they rule it constitutional, anarchy comes to Panama.

Yes, the expand (one of whom isn't the shooter) support the Panamanians who are FINALLY fed up with all the corruption.

I have 5 videos, 2 of which clearly show him shooting both men. The woman prancing back & forth in front of him can be heard taunting him, "Why don't you shoot? Why don't you shoot"?

The shooter's cedula shows he was born in Colon, NOT the Zone! He attended Balboa High School in the Zone, but wasn't born there!

If Panama is the key to stability in the whole region then

With the Panama canal’s low water level , the Darien Gap’s flooding population that is overwhelming to such a small country and this present mining of copper .

It’s up to the Panamanian people the country of Panama coming together as one heart with virtuous courage , compassion , and wise direction for the sake of humanity .

Very sad what is happening to this beautiful country and it’s kind people.

Good take on the CHINA/CCP & BIDEN-CIA angle, all is about the pivot to ASIA and CIA moving their offices to CHINA< once the USD implodes

Just like burning down LAHAINA a few months ago, and now Panama, that was SAUDI money, and same here, while cui-bono is CHINA the investor is 100% SAUDI

Expand full comment

LAHAINA "AMAZON PORT" MAUI owned by CHINA, Paid for by SAUDI

Same for now CHINA-SAUDI owning PANAMA

With MAUI, complete and now Panama, and now Gaza ( US-MIL base ) & haifa port ( owned by china in Israel ) the entire "SILK ROAD" is complete

You like tire necklace partys? YOu will love the coming gringo culling's in central-america

I would suspect that they're doing this to prevent gringos from escaping the USA prison the theory is they have no where to run

That this old dude is standing in the middle of the road waving his pistol, with dozens of young studs walking behind and around him and no one even rushing him, was enough for me to put this story in the Fiction section.

It’s also interesting that at 1:22 steady filming ceases, then breaks to a man lying in the road, people screaming, and then a shot rings out. With everyone there having his iPhone whipped out, no one captured the actual shots hitting the “victims?”

And if you’re going to fake something like this, at least have the ketchup handy to make it look realistic.

This scene has the look of a JRTC scenario.

The shooter was born in the Canal Zone. He is Panamanian. His cedula proves this as all expats have an E preceding the numbers that follow. I reside in Panama and have legal residency.

Splitting hairs. The guy was born in Panama. He is not a gringo. Go pick on Yon. By the way, Colon is virtually in the canal zone. When I relocated to Panama my shipping container was delivered to guess where.......COLON!

Expand full comment

Don't misread. I admire Yon; I mainly was commenting on notes of others and clarifying that Darlington's parents were British and Panamanian and, by birth and being raised in Panama, he's not an expat, nor is he American. On the video when he first walks up and before he pulls the pistol, someone in the crowd called out, "He's Panamanian, not gringo." FYI, Colon has always been right outside of where the Canal Zone used to be. On the Pacific side of the Canal, Balboa is sometimes called Panama City and Cristobal (also formerly in the CZ) is also sometimes called Colon. His cedula says "Colon" for birthplace, so in the year he was born, he was not born in the Canal Zone. My brother was born in the Canal Zone and his cedula says "Ancon" and not Panama City.

The Panamanian attorney that shot the two protesters is a Zonian - not an “American expat” no as local news falsely reported.

His name is Kenneth Darlington,

Of the law firm Mossack Darlington & Associates.

Photos on his website show him hugging the President and Vice President of Panama- and to make matters seem even more sinister- he is a lawyer for the mining company !!

A provocateur we call that- or a shit- disturber if your less dainty, deliberately stirring up trouble to give cause for law enforcement to act.

He is not an American- he is a Spanish-speaking Panamanian and a lawyer to boot.

We hope they throw the book at him.

Most expats are on the side of the protesters, despite the hardships these protest present.

It is totally unfair to put expats safety at risk by false reporting- do your job journalists !!

No wonder people claim fake news. It’s not just fake- it’s lazy!!

Thank you for setting the record straight. We live in Chiriqui and getting tired of the chicken little reporting. Now hoping that the National Police opening up the roads for fuel delivery doesn’t cause a new kind of backlash! Stay safe…from

This man is being called a Gringo but he was born in Panama and also a lawyer in Panama. WTF!!! This is a set up against the American and putting everyone in danger.

US media says he is a dual citizen. Michael’s Newsletter shows his Panama voter ID.

But the video posted by Michael has a strange gap around 1:20 which omits the specific encounter that resulted in the first shooting. After the gap, we see someone lying on the ground, and then the second person is shot.

Come on Mike, tells us your plan for saving our Republic legally? You gotta have something to offer better than lettuce in Panama. I asked you this question almost a months ago Mike! You ignored it. We want to know. You're not answering hard questions and it makes you look like controlled opposition.

What can 79 million grown adult Trump voters legally do today to help save our Republic? Shop for vegetables in Panama?

The Ham that never was: 1933 The Emergency Hog Slaughter. The US Govt ordered the slaughter of pigs, while families during the great depression had no food on the table. Yon is showing us this in real time Panama. 90,000 ft view, it's coming. Start stuffing those cabbages in your pants.
