Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is all kinds of crazy, but now he is telling the island nation that he is prepared to establish a "revolutionary government" to keep himself from being ousted from power.
That's what's known as a dictatorship guys, and it's not a good thing.
Duterte gained fame for the mass killings of drug dealers and users. He doesn't care which--he will have you tossed from a helicopter or shot on the spot if you're caught with drugs.
The madman issued a warning on state television late Friday as he verbally assaulted the press, European lawmakers and anyone else who dare criticize his 'final solution' for the drug problem that has left thousands dead, killed for something in which they aren't afforded a trial, and it has human rights groups calling his methods a crime against humanity.
He made it clear that he would resort to a revolutionary government, not martial law, which requires congressional approval, if communists and other opponents tried to destabilize his rule.
So Duterte is making it an "Us against them commies" argument when it is really a human rights argument.
"If your destabilization is taking place and there is chaos already, I will not hesitate to declare a revolutionary government until the end of my term and I will arrest all of you and we can go to a full-scale war against the reds," he said, referring to communist rebels who've waged a nearly 50-year insurgency.
The paranoid Philippino autocrat alleged the U.S. CIA was part of a plot to destabilize him, and threatened to jail all who oppose him as well as the communist leaders.
"I will declare a revolutionary government, you are all arrested. I am not scaring people, just remember that," he said.
Duterte says how much he hates drugs, drug dealers and drug users. But his drug is power and he's drunk on it. He was elected last year on a law and order platform, but apparently what he says is the law and he seems to hold all the power.
He has no tolerance for differences of opinion and certainly not for dissent. In fact, one of his harshest critics, Senator Leila de Lima, is currently in prison on drug trafficking charges that she and her rights groups say were fabricated to silence her.
I have no doubt that's true as he has vowed to "destroy" another senator who is critical of him, while his hand servants seek to impeach the Supreme Court chief justice after she criticized parts of the drug war.
The paranoid schizophrenic leader of the Philippines also threatened to send home all European ambassadors because he believed they were criticizing the drug war (aka drug carnage) he was waging.
