New President of the Philippines - Duterte the Punisher.

Fox lost his moral compass quite some time ago, if indeed he ever had one.

I doubt there is much conjecture that President Duterte is not a complete and unreconstructed arse-hole, but there is one thing that puzzles me about him and many other Asian 'dignitaries' of his generation. Why is it that no prominent Asian gentlemen of seventy summers (and older) have a single grey hair in their heads?

A doc on BBC I Player 'deadliest place to deal'.

A really bad turn for that country. People killed on the streets by police for petty crime. Vigilantism condoned.

Yet seemingly can't get to grips with a fairly small insurgency who keep kidnapping and offing people. That's the problem with these tough guys they're great against the weak but not so good when the other side has guns and can fight back.

Duterte the stand-up comedian - rape jokes only.

Rodrigo Duterte jokes to soldiers that they can rape women with impunity

Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has sought to reassure soldiers who might be accused of committing abuses under martial law and jokingly said that if any of them were to rape three women, he would personally claim responsibility for it.

And it seems like only yesterday Trump was praising him for his drug policy that has so far involved killing 9000. Oh, it wasm't yesterday. It was last month.

Trump full of praise for Duterte's brutal drugs crackdown, leaked call reveals

Donald Trump praised the Philippines’ president for an “unbelievable job” in a fight against illegal drugs that has left thousands dead and drawn condemnation from American lawmakers, according to a leaked transcript of their telephone conversation last month.

As you were then. What's a bit of martial law, rape and murder between world leaders.

Are there any lessons Trump might take for his campaign?

Trump is just an idiot, who knows how to make money that's it.

Duterte tells troops fighting militants not to worry about civilian deaths

Look, I know it's kind of no different to superpower airstrikes (in fact much better if playing a pure numbers game), and he's probably been on the phone a few times to his good buddy Putin to discuss tactics, but it's just...the sheer Judge Dredd-ness of the man.

We will face charges, sometimes massacre, you know a bullet hits through and through, one squeeze of the Armalite, it bursts out three or four. Keep pressing.

Not quite sure where Human Rights Watch ever got the idea Duterte took office promising to protect human rights though. Gullible liberals much?

Threatening to bomb Lumad people's schools for being a little bit communism last month.

Duterte threatens to bomb lumad schools

DAVAO CITY, Philippines – President Duterte has threatened to bomb lumad schools that have proliferated mostly in the hinterlands of Mindanao and are believed to be run by communists to influence the youth to rebel against the government.

“Sabihin ko diyan sa mga lumad ngayon, umalis kayo diyan. Bobombahan ko ’yan. Isali ko ’yang mga istruktura ninyo (I’ll tell the lumads now to leave those areas. I’ll bomb them. I’ll include their structures),” Duterte said in a press conference following his second State of the Nation Address last Monday.

The President lamented that communist guerrillas are operating the lumad schools without being duly accredited by the Department of Education (DepEd).

Duterte stressed that lumad schools actually teach subversion and communism instead of what should be taught in the regular educational curriculum prescribed by the DepEd.

Following his threat to bomb indigenous peoples’ schools, Duterte is facing criticism from the insurgents.

In a statement, the Communist Party of the Philippines (CPP) dubbed the President as the “lowest of the low.”

“You are a madman with bombs. You are a bully. An arrogant street thug intoxicated with power. But you only pick on the weak, the small and the oppressed. You bomb their homes, shell their communities and expect them to bow to your power. You exercise power but only against the powerless,” the CPP said.

“But you are a weakling when faced with the powerful. You cannot even keep your word to stop the mining companies that poison and plunder the land. The NPA has done much more than you in defending the country’s patrimony.”

He 'backpedalled' a bit a couple of days later.

Duterte says only empty Lumad schools would be bombed

"I have every reason to stop it because you are producing another generation of haters," he said. "Don't fool me. You teach nothing there but socialism and killings."

All this stuff about Corbyn and Venezuela in the past and so recently memories of Liam Fox glad-handing this murderer
And more than news today of police death squads slaughtering huge numbers of people on just one day.

The bullies are in the ascendancy and nothing can stop them. Duterte, Trump, Clarkson.

Tbf, that comparison's a bit harsh on Trump.

Protests against the killings, prompted in particular by the murder of a 17 year old. The police planted a gun in his hand afterwards, then went one better and apparently used fake facebook accounts to frame him.

In the case of Delos Santos, the police initially claimed he had fired first.

But their story was contradicted by witnesses and CCTV footage that showed the teenager being dragged down alleyways into a dead-end corner where he was asked to run with a gun, and shot when he did.

Duterte faces nationwide revolt over drugs war after killing of schoolboy sparks outrage


Daniel Berehulak photo essay for the NYT last December. As you'd expect, the police approach varies somewhat dramatically depending on the class of the neighbourhood.

‘They Are Slaughtering Us Like Animals’

In affluent neighborhoods of gated communities and estates, there is, indeed, sometimes a polite knock on the door, an officer handing a pamphlet detailing the repercussions of drug use to the housekeeper who answers. In poorer districts, the police grab teenage boys and men off the street, run background checks, make arrests and sometimes shoot to kill.

(NSFW)


Post #36. Funny how some only approve of such methods when it's working class forrins on the receiving end.

I have no problem with him eradicating the scourge of predatory vulture capitalism known as drug dealing by robust physical methods, no.

Duterte has a new chum

Steven Seagal meets 'The Punisher' Duterte, talks drug war

Is this his Dennis Rodman moment?

He said that he's withdrawing the 'police' and leaving it to the DEA, and despite highly favourable poll ratings, apparently he fancies himself as the next Marcos.

The Philippine Star | Headlines | 2017 | philstar.com...

If the government will be in peril due to the efforts of the Left and his critics, President Duterte would not hesitate to declare a revolutionary government to quell destabilization moves against his administration.

He added that he would use the revolutionary powers to avert the country from falling into chaos as he accused the Communist Party of the Philippines of playing a key role in the destabilization efforts.

Once the military government is restored, Duterte said he would order the security forces to arrest all destabilizers and go on a full-scale war against the communist rebels.

“I will arrest all of you and we can go to a full-scale war against the Reds,” Duterte said.

That thing about his son lol.

 

[planetgeli]

He said that he's withdrawing the 'police' and leaving it to the DEA,

He's said this before and changed his mind pretty soon after so don't hold your breath.

It was the second time the leader decreed that the agency should lead the drug war. He suspended police anti-drugs operations in late January, to cleanse a force he called “corrupt to the core”, but rescinded the decision five weeks later.

Wouldn't be surprised if the cunt went ahead with his revolutionary government garbage. Remember he was elected by promising to kill 100,000 drug users. What's a few Reds into the bargain? Shithole of a country. Feel sorry for the few on the other side.

Ugh

Outrage as Duterte kisses worker on stage

In April 2016, he spoke to an election campaign rally about the 1989 murder and rape of a female Australian missionary in Davao, where he was mayor at the time.

"I was angry because she was raped," he said. "That's one thing. But she was so beautiful, the mayor should have been first, what a waste." His office later apologised for the comments.

Earlier this year Mr Duterte told Filipino soldiers they should shoot female communist rebels in the vagina.

Excellent article from the Guardian. Read it. No matter it’s ultimately promoting a book “Duterte Harry : Fire and Fury in the Philippines”. Maybe we should all read that too. A country at war with itself. Humanity losing.

Probably good odds that every PM from Churchill to Macmillan had, and Heath commanded a firing squad that shot someone.

Victor Silvester, the dance band leader too part in five executions as a member of the firing squad.

From Wiki.

In September 1916 he enlisted in the British Army during the First World War and served as a private in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. He lied about his age to the recruiting authorities, stating this as 20 when in fact he was only 16. He took part in the Battle of Arras in April/May 1917, and also was a member of five execution squads, where deserters, some no doubt suffering from shell-shock, were shot.[5][6]

Duterte describes sexually abusing maid

In his latest remarks, he described entering the room of his maid while she was sleeping.

"I lifted the blanket... I tried to touch what was inside the panty," he said. "I was touching. She woke up so I left the room."

He said he told the priest that he later returned to the woman's room and tried to molest her again.
