Human rights advocates, beware. You might just be next in “The Punisher’s” crosshairs.
President Rodrigo Duterte has threatened to kill human rights activists critical of his take-no-prisoner tactic against illegal drugs, which has claimed the lives of some 5,000 people allegedly involved in the narcotics trade.
In a speech in Malacañang on Monday night, Duterte said those accusing him of ordering the summary executions of drug personalities should be blamed if the country’s drug problem worsened.
“The human rights (defenders) said I ordered the killings. I told them ‘OK. Let’s stop. We’ll let them (drug users) multiply so that when it’s harvest time, more people will die,” the President said at the inaugural switch-on of a coal-fired power plant.
“I will include you because you are the reason why their numbers swell,” he said in Filipino.
Duterte had been openly giving out grim warnings to drug users and pushers, but had also been consistent in denying insinuations that his words were veiled sanctions for extrajudicial killings.
He infamously earned the moniker “The Punisher” for advocating the vigilante murders of petty criminals when he was still the mayor of Davao City for 23 years.
As in all his previous speaking engagements, the President reiterated the magnitude of the country’s drug problem, likening it to a “stage 2 cancer.”
“If the human rights (community) could not understand what I’m saying, if you’re that stupid, then I cannot do anything for you,” he said.
He lambasted the United States and the European Union yet again for raising their concern over his threats to kill suspected drug personalities.
“When was it a crime to say ‘I will kill you’ in protecting my country? When did saying ‘if you harm my country and my children, I will kill you’ become a crime?’ My God!” he said.
Duterte also mocked the European lawyers, saying “their brain is just like a pea.”
“Don’t believe in European lawyers. They are stupid, believe me. Listen to Filipino (lawyers),” he said.
Duterte then showed his audience a four-inch thick pile of documents, which contained the “validated list” of about 5,000 public officials allegedly behind the illegal drug trade.
The Chief Executive said most of those benefitting from the illicit business were village officials who were earning “easy money.”
“(That’s why) I acceded to an election this year for the barangay captains. We would have lost to the money of the drug industry,” he said.
Duterte said he also showed the documents to former President and now Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo during their one-on-one meeting.
The President has blamed Arroyo and his predecessor, former President Benigno Aquino III, for allowing the drug trade to proliferate during their incumbency.
“I am not trying to scare you,” he said as he presented the so-called “narco-list.”
“This is the drug industry of the Philippines. These are all the names,” he continued. “I showed this to (former) President Arroyo. I said, ‘Ma’am, we are in a bind. I really do not know how to (handle this). I surrender. I cannot do this.’”
Even if he wanted to kill all those on the list, Duterte said he “would not have the time and resources to do it.”
He said “narco-politics” was already existing in the Philippines “given the so many thousands of policemen and mayors involved” in the sale and distribution of illicit substances.
This guy is a real loon.

Of course he would blame activists instead of admitting this isn't working... Fucking loon indeed.
Next he will be threatening to murder anyone trying to leave the country I bet.

It's pretty fucking obvious what his end goal is.
I really wanted to say " And so it begins" but sadly it began a looong time ago, but that was just drug users.
And really? Activists are kinda annoying.
He's really making the country a lot more attractive these days.

I don't care for aggressive pushers, or slovenly drug use, but the country is still a desperate, poor, and starving dump.
Maybe, an enlightened sort of nationbuilding is a good thing.

Not sure about his, but if you can prove hes a user you can collect something for it.
A while back there was some phillipine politician who spoke out against him, within a couple days he was shitshaming amd i think accused her of being a user, does anybody remember and is there any update on her life?

I don't normally have a "16 Tons" way of thinking, just think that first world working standards, say, under some entrepreneur, is better than malaria and eating out of the garbage. Maybe, it is better to be an Oompa Loompa than in a purge.

Except that many of the most successful businesses outsource as much work as they can often times to sweatshops and other atrocious human rights violations...
We may have good working conditions here overall but that doesn't mean entrepreneurs are in any hurry to bring the same standards abroad.
Why would they want to lose their cheap labor after all...

I know it's contentious. All I'm saying is that tenements were built, bugs sprayed, people ate and were fit to labor.
I think there's such a thing as makework.
I'm calling it what it is.

The thing to understand about these so called rights activists is that they're not an organic product of Filipino culture. Its a foreign backed subversive movement, backed primarily by the US and British intelligence services through their public fronts of NGOs and other unacknowledged intelligence OPs. If Duerte takes out these traitorous foreign subversion agents he's doing the best thing for his nation and people.

Yea, I was thinking more of a seriously big amount, didn't someone interview a couple that had started offing people for money there and got around 100$ for a kill? I'm not much for using dark web stuff but have heard some people actually have hit lists with fundraising type btc bounties.
I'm also not that much for hurting or killing people but someone snuffing that guy could be enough to start a revolution in that country. And yes, I know, there's a whole lot of these corrupted guys there besides him. He himself said something in the lines of wanting to kill people who damage his country not being morally wrong, and shouldn't be forbidden... so I wonder if he took other peoples views in account? He sure should be in somebodys crosshairs.

I see a sort of political cycle, in which demoralizing influences do weaken a society.
But, fascism is the point at which hungry people turn on eachother.
If you are desperate or greedy enough, anyone can look like a subversive.
I have been among climbers and personality cults, and this is how they excuse trampling on others. They justify their real, powerful, positions of status, if not, delusions of grandeur, by imagining you as a criminal.
