the only thing different from this murder man and the murder men the us is currently supporting is that he doesn't like the us

i just wish the pragmatists were as against murder men all the time

oh definitely if they fail. but that's because coup conspirators against shitheads either never take the "final" step first or never take it at all(like with the turkey coup/Venezuelan coup). hint; you kill him/his loyalists/possibly family quickly and quietly when poo poo starts going down. you do like they did it with Ngo Dinh Diem. in the back of van then dump his body and bury it deep. Duerterte still doesn't have super amounts of military support and alot of the military is pretty friendly with the US and I am sure some "company" men are looking for candidates as we speak.

That'd be like hiring a Jew to kill Hitler. Best case scenario you have no more Duterte and a gently caress load of dead people. Worst case scenario you have a vindicated Duterte and a gently caress load of dead people.

During the last serious military coup attempt in the Philippines, back in 1989, the intervention of the US military was supposedly crucial in saving the civilian government. You also have to assume based on the long history of joint exercises and bases that there's gotta be some lines of communication between high level military officers in the Philippines and US government.

On the other hand it's way loving harder to pull off a coup against a popular president these days since merely seizing a couple key radio and TV stations won't give you control of the communications grid.

What would you have to seize or sabotage to substantially cripple Internet access to the Philippines? There can only be so many telecom facilities where undersea fiber optics cables enter the country. And you'd probably also have to hit the hosting facilities for the most popular local social networks. Difficult but somewhat plausible.

That's a good question, and I have no idea how centralized internet service in the Philippines is. In some countries I gather it's fairly easy to do that because the government designed the telecommunications infrastructure to be centrally controllable, but in other countries there's no single control node you can seize.

Now this is pure armchair general style speculation on my part but the fastest route to an information blackout might be a real blackout. Just shutdown the power grids in the main cities and then hope you can seize power before too many angry mobs form. Obviously this raises difficulties of it's own but in a lot of countries that might be the last reliable way to stop the deposed leader from jumping on social media and whipping up a mob.
