Duterte of the Phillipines Slams US Ambassador, Claims He Found ‘Blueprint to Destabilize’ His Country Amongst His Belongings

The President of the Phillipines is, without question, a fucking lunatic. Just yesterday he threatened to toss corrupt politicians out of helicopters, suggesting he did it before. Today, he’s accusing Philip Goldberg, former Ambassador to the Phillipines, of having ‘blueprints’ to destabilize his government.

President Rodrigo Duterte said all ambassadors play a part in their respective countries’ spying operations, but American ambassadors have a “forte” for undermining the government of their host countries.

“Most of the ambassadors of the United States, but not all, are not really professional ambassadors. At the same time they are spying, they are connected with the CIA,” Duterte said in an interview with CNN Philippines.

Citing a document received from a “highly placed source,” the newspaper said that Goldberg’s “blueprint to undermine Duterte” included supporting domestic opposition with grants and diplomatic assistance, pressuring other South Asian nations politically and economically to cut ties with the Philippines, and targeting the president’s supporters to alienate them.

The US on Thursday denied such a plan existed, but Duterte said this sounded plausible, considering how Goldberg had been expelled as ambassador to Bolivia in 2008. Leftist President Evo Morales accused the American diplomat of siding with his rightist opponents and of orchestrating street protests and gave him 72 hours to leave the country.

Speaking of the alleged destabilization plan, the Philippine president said: “You might be able to oust me, but I will give you a bloody nose.”

Duterte has been on bad terms with Goldberg for quite some time. On one occasion he infamously called the American envoy a “gay son of a bitch” for interfering with Philippines politics.

If alive, General McCarthur would slap the shit out of Duterte.

    That Duterte is a badass. I read that when he was a cop he would ride on his motorcycle looking for trouble just so he could find the opportunity to shoot and kill drug dealers.

      Agreed. Fake News only talks shit about the good guys. That is the program.

    Phillipino’s are by and large happy with the guy. I can’t say I mind his willingness to bad-mouth the masters of the universe.

      Will you still be happy with his bad-mouthing of the U.S. once Trump is in charge?

    I have a feeling he won’t die peacefully of old age with the respect of his people.
