Two leftist activists found dead, another abducted in Philippines
Apr 4, 2007, 9:19 GMT


Manila - Two leftist activists missing since last week in the northern Philippines were found dead on Wednesday, while another activist was abducted just outside the capital, police said.
(snip)

Police said the two victims, members of the leftist Peasant Movement of the Philippines, had been missing since March 27.

Colleagues said the two men were allegedly abducted by soldiers while they were campaigning for a leftist group vying for seats in the House of Representatives in the May elections.
(snip)

More than 350 activists have been killed, while more than 180 others were victims of forced disappearances in the Philippines since 2001, according to local human rights group Karapatan.

1. Hmmm. Isn't Gloria Aroyo (or whatever) a good friend of bush**?
What's that say for backing governments with a record of human rights abuses? Shouldn't we be invading about now?

3. Yes, she is a Loyal Bushie with Bushler's taste for murdering opponents
Of course, Bushler can't quite do as he wishes here (thank you Founding Fathers, for creating a nation and writing a Constitution that makes it so damned difficult for murtderous monsters to fully take it over and go "Loyal Bushie/Loyal Nazi" on their enemies), so what we are seeing is how things will be when & if (doesn't THAT one 'if' sound sooooo good considering not 6 months ago many of us were certain Bushler would NOT relinquish power nor allow even a shadow of an honest election) George P. Bush ascends the Imperial Bushie Throne.

4. Those doing and ordering the murders of innocents are rarely killed
Especially when they are doing the BushPutinist State's dirty work for them.

Like the Loyal Bushie Anthrax Assassin who sent his murderous powder to Democrats and "Liberal" Media members ONLY, and who will never be mentioned again in public discourse, so far as I can tell.

Because he was & is a Loyal Bushie doing Loyal Bushie work. Because the Loyal Bushies have Sovietized law enforcement and Justice, so t he 90% chance is they sent in a Kyle Sampson to removed any honest agents from the case and replace them with Loyal Bushies.

Investigation OVER!

6. It’s reminiscent of Iran Contra / South America and the genocide in Indonesia.
But if I may offer my opinion, it’s not about Communism as that’s the excuse, the boogeyman that justifies the fascism disguised as corporatism. The BFEE are fascist but they will embrace any communist that will play by the rules of elite supremacy ware the working class and indigenous people have no rights.

As far as the anthrax goes, there may have been enough evidence to give a certain individual the death sentence except the truth about that would be to embarrassing to a certain little well protected right wing country that does no wrong.

5. Murdering the opposition is a time honored tradition in the Philippines.
Been doing at least since we came, if not before.
