[Let's hope this is the start of a trend.]
Philippines' deadliest massacre tests government By AARON FAVILA (AP) – 37 minutes ago AMPATUAN, Philippines — A few miles off the main highway, on a remote hilltop covered with waist-high grass, bodies lay with twisted hands reaching in the air. They had been shot point-blank. Nearby, bodies were being laid out under banana leaves Tuesday as police — their faces covered against the stench — unearthed a mass grave containing 22 victims from Monday's ambush on an election caravan. The discovery brought the death toll to 46 — an unprecedented act of violence at the outset of the country's election season. As many as five people remained unaccounted for. President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo declared a state of emergency in Maguindanao and a neighboring southern province, sending extra troops and police to try to impose the rule of law. "No effort will be spared to bring justice to the victims and hold the perpetrators accountable to the full limit of the law," she said. Few think she will be successful in the impoverished, lawless region that has been outside the central government's reach for generations, and where warlords backed by private armies go by their own rules. Authorities said the victims included at least 13 Filipino journalists from regional newspapers, TV and radio stations who were accompanying family members and supporters of a gubernatorial candidate out to file his nomination papers for May 2010 elections. Noynoy Espina, vice chairman of the National Union of Journalists of the Philippines, said as many as 20 journalists may have been in the convoy, based on reports from union chapters in the area. The figures could not be immediately reconciled, but still the deaths marked "the largest single massacre of journalists ever," according to Paris-based Reporters Without Borders. Dozens of gunmen intercepted the caravan as it traveled on a two-lane highway that cuts across vast open tracts of land and banana groves, police said. They took some of the people to the grassy area, where the killings started. Authorities found 24 bullet-riddled bodies sprawled on the ground next to five abandoned vehicles. Police, aided by a backhoe, worked most of Tuesday to extricate the bodies from the mass grave. All had been shot multiple times and were dumped on top of one another. One was a pregnant woman. Grieving relatives helped identify their loved ones before they were given the bodies, covered by banana leaves, for burial. The gubernatorial candidate, Ismael Mangudadatu, was not in the convoy because he had received death threats. He accused a powerful political rival from the Amputuan clan of carrying out the killings. Mangudadatu's wife, Genalyn, and his two sisters, were among the dead, he said. In all, 21 women and 25 men died, said military spokesman Col. Jonathan Ponce. Mangudadatu said four witnesses in his protection, whom he refused to identify, had told him the convoy was stopped by gunmen loyal to Andal Ampatuan Jr., a town mayor and rival, to prevent Mangudadatu's family from filing elections papers. "It was really planned because they had already dug a huge hole (for the bodies)," Mangudadatu said. He said there were reports from the area that the militia had been blocking the road for a few days. The Ampatuans, who have ruled one of the nation's poorest regions since 2001, could not be reached for comment. Arroyo's peace adviser Jesus Dureza said he met Tuesday with Andal Ampatuan, the family's patriarch, and received assurances that his family would cooperate in the investigation. It was not clear how far Arroyo's administration would go in trying to force the provincial warlords to give up their weapons and private armies. But Maguindanao's provincial police chief and three other officers were relieved of duty and confined to camp after they were reported to have been seen with the pro-government militiamen who stopped the convoy, police said. Such militiamen are meant to act as an auxiliary force mobilized by the police or military to fight rebels and criminals, but often they act as private enforcers of local warlords. Much of the southern island of Mindanao, including Maguindanao province, used to be ruled by fiercely independent sultans who fought Spanish and American colonizers. The political dynasties of the Ampatuans and the Mangudadatus behave in a much similar way — ruling by force, unopposed in their turfs with little outside interference. Julkipli Wadi, a professor of Islamic studies at the University of the Philippines, said he doubted the national government's resolve in trimming the powers of political dynasties like the Ampatuans because they deliver votes during elections. "Because of the absence of viable political institutions, powerful men are taking over," he said. "Big political forces and personalities in the national government are sustaining the warlords, especially during election time, because they rely on big families for their votes." http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/...WW8UAD9C657RG3 |

"Because of the absence of viable political institutions, powerful men are taking over," he said. "Big political forces and personalities in the national government are sustaining the warlords, especially during election time, because they rely on big families for their votes." That's why local networks are important. Even if problems can't be dealt with at a particular point in time, it might be possible to deal with them later. Preparation and knowledge are crucial. |

Indeed, my hopes are already getting up that more of this will happen.
If there ever was a serious political reversal in this nation, I opine that somewhere between 25%-50% of all journalists and and 90+% of the editoralists need to end up in mass graves.

The Philippines has always been a very dangerous place for journalists, especially in the South. The situation in the Philippines in similar to ours, while we got Jews who control things, they got the Chinese.

Yep, except more like 100%. I have dealt with these people for the last thirty years. At best they are PC social climbers. At average they are ignoramus-liars. At worst they are out and out jew-commies.

As we saw in Katrina, white communities spontaneously self-defend when the cops/ZOG disappear. The step beyond communal defense is actively going out and solving the problem by removing the troublemakers.

"As we saw in Katrina, white communities spontaneously self-defend when the cops/ZOG disappear. The step beyond communal defense is actively going out and solving the problem by removing the troublemakers."
I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for a few public officials." — George Mason, in Debates in Virginia Convention on Ratification of the Constitution, Elliot, Vol. 3, June 16, 1788 "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force, at the command of Congress, can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power, and jealousy will instantly inspire the inclination, to resist the execution of a law which appears to them unjust and oppressive." --Noah Webster, An Examination of the Leading Principles of the Federal Constitution (Philadelphia 1787). "Who are the militia? Are they not ourselves? Is it feared, then, that we shall turn our arms each man against his own bosom. Congress have no power to disarm the militia. Their swords, and every other terrible implement of the soldier, are the birthright of an American...[T]he unlimited power of the sword is not in the hands of either the federal or state governments, but, where I trust in God it will ever remain, in the hands of the people." --Tenche Coxe, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788. "What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms." -- Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787. ME 6:373, Papers 12:356 "No Free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Proposal Virginia Constitution, 1 T. Jefferson Papers, 334,[C.J. Boyd, Ed., 1950] "What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty .... Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins." -- Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, spoken during floor debate over the Second Amendment, I Annals of Congress at 750, August 17, 1789 http://economics.gmu.edu/wew/quotes/arms.html |

The problem is, the people still have guns, in America, but they don't have the spirit of resistance because they've been trained up and raised up in public schools, which have taught them that obedience to authority is job #1. So the idea of shooting a corrupt judge, which is probably about 50% of them, never even occurs as an option. It is unthinkable per the average citizen's brainwashing.

A lot of journalists act like they're the moral compass of the world and practice their "profession" as if their job was to deceive the weak-minded into following whatever direction they point in. They're self-righteous little cub scouts that spend most of their time earning their own equivalents of "merit badges" by going out and finding a subject with whomever the liberal establishment so much as remotely disagrees with and maligning them in their jerk-off articles.

All Whites must shitcan any kike-devised, kike-reinforced "morality" that renders them politically impotent, and any leftover crumbs of belief they might have in the legitimate authority of the jewhos lording it over us: the only thing to give anyone pause is fed firepower & tech. When you've very soberly considered that, the only questions are who, what, when, where & how.

Journalist are also hypocrites, they have one set of rules for us, and another for their own. A few months ago the "press" had a total media blackout for six months when a reporter for the NYT was kidnapped by the taliban in Afghanistan. They did the same for a Canadian female reporter kidnapped there too. If this was a non media person there would be crews outside their family home. It also shows you how the can conspire together to keep a story out of the public.
