Is Washington Preparing the “Assad Treatment” for Philippines’ President Duterte?
http://landdestroyer.blogspot.com/2016/09/us-philippines-row-widens-philippines.html#more

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte was prompted to remind the United States that the Philippines is a sovereign nation after the US announced its intentions to lecture him regarding his handling of crime … [Mass murdering, King of drone assassinations] Obama would confront Duterte about his country's handling of drug dealers, including extrajudicial killings …

Since President Duterte came to power, US plans to use the Philippines as a proxy in a growing conflict with China have been derailed. …

A US-led "international tribunal" … was rejected not only by Beijing, but received little enthusiasm even in the Philippines itself. … rendering American efforts to escalate the conflict impotent. …

CNN's article and the White House itself attempts to convince the public that US concerns regarding the Philippines ... revolve around "human rights" and more specifically, around the subject of "extrajudicial killings." CNN reminds readers such killings are "executions without the benefit of judicial proceedings." …

a lack of sincerity regarding these concerns … because the United States itself has been conducting a global campaign of extrajudicial killings, particularly in Afghanistan and Pakistan … North Africa and the southern Arabian Peninsula in regards to years of drone strikes on "suspected terrorists," or in other words, "executions without the benefit of judicial proceedings."

Also … the US' intentional deception to justify the invasion and occupation of Iraq … cost tens of thousands of people their lives, displaced or otherwise disrupted the lives of millions more and has left not only Iraq in ruins, but the entire region in perpetual conflict since.

There is also the matter of systemic torture employed by the US military and intelligence agencies … detainment and torture of suspects denied "judicial proceedings."

Also worth considering is the United States' geopolitical and military relationship with Saudi Arabia, a renowned state-sponsor of terrorism, a regional aggressor currently devastating neighbouring Yemen with an inexhaustible supply of US and European weaponry and a world leader in human rights abuses which include a judicial system and public beheadings that appear to have been the very inspiration for the notorious terrorist organisation, the Islamic State.

In this context, President Duterte's comments … are not entirely unjustified … the US who has committed itself to its own systematic and global violation of human rights on a scale dwarfing that of the Philippines' recent crackdown. …

The United States is clearly, cynically using the crackdown as a pretext to apply pressure on the Philippines in order to exact concessions regarding … Washington’s desire to expand the conflict in the South China Sea using the Philippines as a proxy …

Conflict with China in no way benefits the Philippines or the rest of Asia. … Disrupting stability in the region will collectively weaken Asian states, allowing the United States to reassert its gradually waning "primacy" in the region. …

Thus, the US seeks various means, generally feigned concern regarding "democracy" and "human rights," to pressure respective nations back into line. Failing that, increasingly confrontational tactics are employed, including US support of subversive, even violent political opposition groups, economic sanctions and even terrorism. …

Gay SOB's, wouldn't put it past them...


Oh... did you THINK you could just insult the hegemons and pay no price??


Rodrigo Duterte's Obama insult costs Philippines stock market hundreds of millions

“Smart investors should take advantage of the weakness and accumulate because this is all sentiment-driven,“
I agree. Philippines has a great growth rate. But you better watch your back and get a food taster Rodrigo.

Ha. The MIpleX (still) 'owns' the Philippines in every sense of the word.
Our subversion of the Philippines goes back a LONG way.

Do you remember your history? A little? OK...
'Remember the Maine!'
Ah yes... Slogans & Wars.. they go together don't they?
We WANTED what SPAIN had. They had the Philippines.
Simple. We TAKE it.
Ah... but we needed a 'pretext'.
How bout a 'mysterious explosion' the SANK our battleship 'The Maine'
in Havana Harbor on February 15, 1898.
We blamed the Spanish. No evidence.
Issue Ultimatum. Then Declare War. The Spanish-American War.
and the FIRST battle was just 2 1/2 months later in the 'Spanish' Philippines.
On May 1, 1898 we took The Philippines in a battle that lasted a few hours.
We want shit. We take shit.
Some things never change.
