DTN News - WHEN GREAT DICTATORS FALL: Ferdinand Marcos, Philippines
(NSI News Source Info) KOTTAKKAL, Kerala, India - October 23, 2011: Filipino dictator Ferdinand Marcos assumed power in 1965 and went on to become an authoritarian ruler of the archipelago of the Philippines. For vote-buying, crony capitalism and nepotism to declaring martial law under which thousands of people were incarcerated and tortured, to eventually spiriting away large sums of money to the United States, Marcos and his wife Imelda earned the wrath of Filipinos. Marcos died in exile in Hawaii in 1989.
“As you sow, so you reap,” the Book says. They lived life large but came to ignominious and wretched ends. Here’s a look at the world’s greatest dictators of the 20th and 21st centuries.
This series on WORLD DICTATORS have been inspired by the latest episode of Libya's strong man / dictator Muammar Gaddafi ends/dies in such a horrible fashion, but it was his Karmas, he could have avoided this horric incident to occur by stepping down like Egypt's ex-President Mubarak. But Gaddafi thougt he was invisible and ending up like a rat in a drainage system as he was calling his opposition Libyan - rats. It shows, one must be careful accusing others as there is a saying "if you accuse or point a finger on other entity, the rest three fingers point back at you". The moral of this note in general is "RESPECT OTHERS and BE RESPECTED".
Most of the dictators (to follow up) during the 21st century would end the chapter of their life in similar circumstances alike Muammar Gaddafi, as they are unable to accept the changes with time and reality of life.
