DECEPTIONS OF DRUG WAR CRITICS!

24 August 2017

Let’s be clear about the DECEPTIONS of critics of the government’s war against illegal drugs:

Almost, if not all of the critics, claim there is now a human rights calamity in the country because of the war against illegal drugs. First: IT’S ONLY THEM who are saying so. They DEFINITELY DO NOT REPRESENT the entire Filipino race. So they have NO MORAL OR LEGAL RIGHT, OR AUTHORITY, to speak for or in behalf of us, the people and the living conditions we are in.

Second: I am not a lawyer but I will dare say that ONLY A COURT OF LAW has the POWER AND AUTHORITY to decide on whether or not the human rights of any person had been violated. NOBODY ELSE, especially not the drug war critics. For them to immediately and categorically claim that someone’s human rights had been violated is nothing less than SHAMELESS ARROGANCE AND MIND-CONDITIONING of the public to serve their OWN MORALLY QUESTIONABLE INTERESTS.

Third: The war is CONCENTRATED ONLY on the illegal drugs industry. Whether detractors of President Digong Duterte admit it or not, that has been VERY SPECIFIC RIGHT FROM THE START. And pushers and drug traffickers/drug lords DO NOT REPRESENT the Filipino people as a whole. If critics will insist on a prevailing human rights calamity, it’s ONLY among illegal drug trade players, and not all of the Filipinos.

Fourth: Critics claim there has been no accountability for those killed in the war against illegal drugs. I just don’t have the exact figures but there have been cases filed and actions taken against policemen involved in suspicious deaths in the war. Like the disarming and relief of those who killed Kian de los Santos and the charges filed against two (I hope I’m correct) Pasay City policemen for the killing of a father and his son in the police station. And trials of cases DO NOT END OVERNIGHT, or in a day or week or two. The critics know that, especially the lawyers among them. So anyone who claims there has been no accountability in the drug war is either a DEVILISH LIAR or a BRAINLESS IDIOT.

Fifth: Critics say that the claims of drug war policemen that slain suspects had resisted arrest and fought back are ‘gasgas na’ (worn out). I’d bet a year’s salary NO ONE AMONG THEM WAS AT THE SCENE of any police operation which ended in the death (s) of a suspect. So for them to SWEEPINGLY declare that drug suspects were killed ‘for fighting back is ‘gasgas na’ is not only an outright LIE AND DECEPTION but an INSULT to the men and women of the PNP> I repeat, there have been suspicious deaths, yes. But IT DOES NOT FOLLOW that it applies to the rest.

To drug war critics: if you want to pursue your vested interests, do it on your own. DO NOT USE THE PEOPLE. We’re not as STUPID AS YOU. 30
