ICC pinches Duterte in Manila

[The Sage of Main Street]

It was his own country that sent him, which makes this seem more like the current administration getting rid of the competition than any desire for "Justice"

The Dranocrats' and SCROTUS's Pronunciation of Justice Is "Just Us"

Yeah.
No doubt. It is not beyond the realm of the imaginable that many innocent folks might have died because of his policy. Or they might have been corrupt, who can say?


. . that however, is an internal issue for the folks of that nation. Where does Europe get off getting involved there?
The U.S. ended the colonization by Europe of that nation.


For the ICC to come in and claim his policy was not originating from a place where he wanted to do good?
Perhaps. He might be using the drug issue to keep and retain more power. . . it isn't like we don't see that here.



But does the ICC have the right to second guess internal politics without substantive proof. . . which very likely does not exist.

This seems like another manifestation of the international technocracy trying to stop national populists again.


“There’s many of them [senators]. So what should we do? Let’s just kill the senators now so we will have more vacancies,” Duterte said in a mix of Filipino and English, drawing loud cheers from the crowd.

“If we can kill about 15 senators, then we can all get into the Senate. That would be a pity though. Some of them are really annoying. But not all,” added Duterte, who is running for Davao mayor, a position he held for two decades before becoming president.

“Talking about opportunities, the only way to do it is to use a bomb,” Duterte added, evoking memories of the deadly 1971 bombing at a campaign rally, which left nine people dead and scores wounded, including six incumbent and future senators as well as the mayor of Manila.

Duterte’s statement followed the impeachment of his daughter, Vice President Sara Duterte, whose political fate, including possible removal and perpetual disqualification from public office, will be decided by the 24-member Philippine Senate.

The trial date of the younger Duterte has not yet been set, but it is likely to happen after the May polls. With two-thirds of the number of senators required to convict, the final composition of the Senate could prove critical for her political survival. The majority of the senators are allies of Marcos.. . . "

Make Every Dynasty Die Nasty

This Marcos is still another example of the absolute evil of hereditary power. He'd be a nobody otherwise, just like practically all of our own guillotine-fodder.
