VP Sara Duterte says impeachment proceedings ‘not a priority’ amid political feud with Marcos

Today in Labor History February 25, 1986: As a result of ongoing protests, Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos begged President Ronald Reagan for advice. Reagan told him to “cut and cut cleanly.” That evening, Marcos and his wife Imelda fled the nation aboard a U.S. air force plane, after 20 years of rule. He and his family, and an entourage of 90 people (mostly servants), arrived in Hawaii the next day. They brought 22 crates of cash valued at $717 million, 300 crates of jewelry of unknown value, $4 million worth of unset precious gems, $200,000 in gold bullion, $1 million in Philippine pesos and deposit slips for $124 million in banks in the Cayman Islands. Plus, countless crates of shoes. The Marcos’s hold the Guinness record for the largest ever theft from a government, but Trump will likely smash this record, if he hasn't already. Their son, Bong Bong Marcos, is the current president of the Philippines. His vice president is Sara Duterte, daughter of the Philippines last president, the violently repressive Rodrigo Duterte, who oversaw the assassinations of well over 1,000 street children and alleged drug dealers. Under Ferdinand Marcos, there were over 3,000 documented extrajudicial murders, 35,000 documented victims of torture and tens of thousands of people imprisoned.

How much of the #history of Ferdinand and Imelda Marcos is repeating with #DonaldJTrump and #MelaniaTrump ?

A quick bit of research reveals that almost no-one has yet picked up the idea of "edifice complex" and applied it to Trump.

Yet we have everything from a gilded Lincoln toilet through this recently proposed Golden Arch to the Eppstein Memorial Ballroom.

And it's hats instead of shoes.

Today in Labor History January 30, 1970: 20,000 people rioted in Manila. They were protesting the regime of US-backed dictator Ferdinand Marcos after his State of the Nation address. Over 2,000 attempted to storm the US embassy chanting “Down with imperialism!” Riot police and soldiers beat protesters with truncheons and rifle butts. At least 50 people were hospitalized and at least six died. Riots continued throughout the year. They were part of the First Quarter Storm.

In 1986, after ongoing protests, Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos begged President Ronald Regan for advice. Regan told him to “cut and cut cleanly.” That evening, Marcos and his wife Imelda fled the nation aboard a U.S. air force plane, after 20 years of rule. He and his family, and an entourage of 90 people (mostly servants), arrived in Hawaii the next day. They brought 22 crates of cash valued at $717 million, 300 crates of jewelry of unknown value, $4 million worth of unset precious gems, $200,000 in gold bullion, $1 million in Philippine pesos and deposit slips for $124 million in banks in the Cayman Islands. Plus, countless crates of shoes. The Marcos’s hold the Guinness record for the largest ever theft from a government. Although Grifter-in-chief Trump seems dead set on trying to break that record.

Speaking of which, if you are shocked and appalled that Americans could be stupid enough to reelect Trump, consider that the people of the Philippines somehow “forgot” about the years of brutal dictatorship by Marcos and elected his son Bongbong, who currently wants to collaborate with Trump to get foreign aid flowing again, so he can continue his family tradition of violent domestic repression.

Today in Labor History December 6, 1984: Children picketed the Mendiola Bridge in Manila, Philippines, demanding the release of their parents, who were being held as political prisoners by the U.S.-supported Marcos regime. In 1987, soldiers opened fire on protesters on Mendiola Street, killing 13 and injuring hundreds. In 1970, the Battle of Mendiola Bridge occurred when troops opened fire on student protesters, killing 4.
