Philippine serial killer Rodrigo Duterte announced he & the head of the Armed Forces of the Philippines look forward to meeting beautiful Russian women when they travel to Russia on May 25th. They will also meet with Putin who Duterte describes as his “idol.”
Unfortunately the children of the world have been exposed to the rancid vulgarities & affinities of Duterte & Trump, including their belief that women are sexual toys. Freedom of speech & public protests are brutally repressed by the Putin regime but Trump has been unable to silence protest around the world against his policies. The January 21st Women’s March of millions on every continent was an assertion of women’s power & women’s dignity.
Trump has invited Duterte to the White House for a state visit. They may want to reconsider that invitation to spare embarrassment since he may never be allowed to get off a plane. Women’s rights & human rights activists look forward to meeting him with thousands of placards raised in denunciation.
Maybe you think your brilliance shines in neon when you argue Gandhi’s opposition to Kashmiri Intifada. Maybe we think you sound like an idiot. Yup. The latter is more likely.
Lots of Kashmiri friends are changing their profile photos. Has it finally stopped snowing & raining buckets at the same time? Is spring here? You’re all looking good.
The kids are from a school in the village of Breswana, Jammu. The video is 5 years old but could there be a sweeter rendition of Adele’s ” Rolling in the Deep”?
I’m writing an article for Pakistan Today on Aung San Suu Kyi’s mockery & scorn of Rohingya women who claim mass rape & torture by the military during the genocidal offensive of the past several months. Suu Kyi’s behavior, sometimes played out in international venues, is beyond vile. She can kiss her bony ass goodbye as a human rights icon.
In researching, I’m discovering the extraordinary work which goes back decades of Burmese women activists & organizations, often from the targeted ethnic groups, documenting, campaigning, educating on this issue–often from exile. The human race has produced some remarkable people who will not bend the knee to get ahead. It’s humbling to read about them. It’s such an honor too.
Trump’s approval rating is 39%–the lowest ever recorded for a new president. What do you bet most of his supporters are the deplorables who read Global Research & Counterpunch & hate the protesters who they call Dem-Libs?
That Oscar win set off quite an apocalyptic furor among Assad supporters. It was like the final showdown between good & evil that the White Helmets got a statue for risking their lives saving people.
All the jihadi, head-chopping rants can take a toll so to restore equilibrium spending time in the Blue Mosque is calming & so much cheaper than an exorcism.
Could hatred be the creative impulses behind such glory? For that matter, can hatred be the driving force behind progressive, transformational politics? Not likely. Not even remotely possible. If your politics are based on hate, you’re moving in the wrong direction & letting off quite a stink in the process.
