LIMA, Peru — He just met his “idol” here last Saturday but President Rodrigo Duterte already considers Russia President Vladimir Putin and himself as “fast friends.”
Still delighted by his bilateral meeting with Putin, Duterte narrated to reporters Monday how the often poker-faced Russian leader smiled in his presence and repeatedly invited him to Russia.
“You know, we have become fast friends, President Putin and (China) President Xi Jinping,” Duterte said.
Duterte had a bilateral meeting with Xi on Sunday (Manila time) before his engagement with Putin.
“His (Putin) smile was wide. According to news reports, he does not laugh. But he was smiling all along. He said ‘do not forget to visit Russia. I reserved something for you there.’ ‘True?’ ‘Gun.’ He loves guns,” Duterte said, adding that the Russian president is fond of hunting.
“It seemed like we’ve known each other for so long and even the way we pat each other’s hand in a handshake. And you know, I didn’t realize then… before we were seated.”
Duterte said he and Putin were seated beside each other in one of the APEC sessions.
“I was talking with the, I think, the Premier of Vietnam. They were thanking me for the sailors that we sent home. We talked and when I finally sat down, I found out that President Putin was on my left side, so we shook hands,” Duterte said.
“And then after that, I shook his hands again and I finally said I’ll go ahead. Then he gestured to me ‘don’t forget to visit Russia,’” he added.
“He has extended the gracious invitation maybe about four times already. And maybe I will go… I shall go someday.”

During his bilateral meeting with Putin, Duterte assailed western countries, including the United States, for allegedly bullying smaller nations. He also told Putin that the US had forced its allies to join its wars.
Journalists who covered the event were not able to hear Putin’s response as they were already asked to leave the venue while Duterte was talking.
Presidential Communications Secretary Martin Andanar said Duterte merely explained to Putin the context and the reasons behind his tirades against the West.
Asked how Putin responded to Duterte’s statements, national security adviser Hermogenes Esperon Jr., who was present during the meeting, said: “Generally, what President Putin said is that we share your sentiments…”
“He said ‘our assessments coincide in many respects,’” he added without elaborating.
Trade Secretary Ramon Lopez, who was also in the meeting, said Putin lauded Duterte’s firmness.
“Something was said about his being firm, perhaps in a way, he would no longer be bullied, something like that,” Lopez said.
Asked if the president was happy that he finally met Putin, Esperon replied: “We were also happy.”
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak visits China, barely a week of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s visit.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak’s week-long visit to China will start October 31. Will it mark a turning point for Malaysian foreign policy, similar to the one recently made by President of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte?
US policy in the South China Sea received a powerful blow during Duterte’s momentous visit to Beijing, when he officially announced his country’s “separation” from the US and “realignment” in China’s “ideological flow.”
Najib Razak’s visit to China is expected to cement defense deals, as well as in economics.
The text of a speech to be delivered by Malaysian Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein was posted on Facebook last week saying his government would will sign a contract to purchase naval patrol vessels from China during the trip. The post was later removed.
Over the first three months of this year, Chinese investment in manufacturing in Malaysia reached 1.5 billion ringgit (HK$2.7 billion), making it the largest foreign investor in the sector.
Chinese firms have also secured major deals in Malaysia, including a US$7.3 billion port deal in the city of Malacca. China is widely expected to sign a contract to build Singapore to Malaysia high-speed rail line.
Ties between the United States and Malaysia have been strained since the US Department of Justice launched lawsuits linked to money laundering investigations into Najib’s pet project, 1MDB. Further deals and investment with China could put a further strain on ties with Washington.
This visible ASEAN pivot to the BRICS is sending shockwaves to the Khazarians in the US and UK, who are trying their best to force these ASEAN leaders to follow on their self-serving diktats.
This visible ASEAN pivot to the BRICS Alliance is sending shockwaves to the Khazarians in the US and UK. The CIA is in fact activating its asset, ex-president Fidel V. Ramos, to force Duterte to sign the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change,
Duterte’s rebuff of climate treaty akin to ‘shooting himself in the mouth’ – FVR
In his own bluntly-worded manner, former President Fidel V. Ramos said that President Rodrigo Duterte was “full of S….T” if he thought his diatribes against the Philippines’ allies and the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change Agreement was his God-given destiny, given that his rejection of the climate agreement was akin to him and the entire country “shooting [themselves] in the mouth”.
… Ramos argued further that failure to ratify the Paris Agreement would limit the Philippines’ participation in the 22nd session of the Conference of the Parties (COP 22) in Marrakesh to mere observers, and we would thus be unable to advance the interests of the country.
Ratification, however, will “enable us to secure more investments towards our climate goals and gain access to the financial, technological, and capacity-building support to be provided to parties of the Agreement.”
Ramos concluded by calling on the president to approve the Paris Agreement “forthwith”, and “certify it for Senate ratification to promote our country’s interests and fight for climate justice.”
This is just one of a series of stupid, unwarranted interference on the policies of the incumbent Duterte government, which border on utter hypocrisy considering Ramos’ failed “trickle down” economics, and massive privatization of critical government utilities, all of which did not uplift the life of the majority in the Philippines.
Leftist groups have also criticized Ramos for his economic reforms such as privatization, deregulation and trade liberalization, claiming that the economic growth posted during his presidency was “artificial.” They blamed him for the slowdown of the Philippine economy during the 1997 East Asian financial crisis. The sale of 40% of Petron to Aramco is specifically criticized for resulting in the loss of the government’s effective leverage on domestic oil prices.
… In 1998, the Union for Socialist Ideas and Action told a left-wing Australian organization that Ramos hesitantly admitted that contrary to his government’s earlier claim, the economic fundamentals of the country may actually be unsound. His admission came following the discovery of a secret memorandum issued by the National Economic Development Authority director-general urging the president to tell the Filipinos the truth about the state of the economy and that they ought to prepare for worse. According to former University of the Philippines president Francisco Nemenzo, Ramos “has done nothing to reverse or slow down the implementation” of the harmful IMF-imposed structural reforms.
While Malaysia’s Mahathir was very vocal against Soros’ currency attack on the ASEAN economy, Fidel Ramos was so silent about the whole sordid affair in 1997.
Ramos’ series of unsolicited advice started just after Duterte announced his “separation from United States” and for joining China in its “ideological flow.”
Let it be remembered that Ramos was given a consultancy position at the Carlyle Group when his 6-year term as president ended in 1998. This consultancy position and that of this presidency served as a lifelong reward for his cooperation in the toppling of the late president Ferdinand E. Marcos.
“Despite earnest grassroots nationalist opposition over the past several decades, the Philippines remains a neo-colony of the United States, economically and military bound to Washington, and hopelessly addicted to foreign capital.
The US has a huge economic stake in the Philippines, which is central as a military and intelligence base, as well as a source of energy, raw materials, land, and cheap labor. It was no surprise that securing the Philippines was the focus of the first US post-Afghanistan intervention in the so-called “war on terrorism.”
In his book Endless Enemies, the late Jonathan Kwitny described the Philippines as “the Zaire of Asia,” and “the one Asian country where we (the United States) have engaged in covert political activity, and sometimes fighting, and where things have gone pretty much our way. Every anti-guerrilla campaign has been victorious, and every election, real or rigged, has produced the winner the US government desired.”
… Former President Fidel V. Ramos is Arroyo’s “special envoy for international opportunities.” Despite his denials about the importance of his role, Ramos functions essentially as the country’s co-president.
He is also a direct agent of the Bush oligarchy.
Ramos is a senior advisor of the Carlyle Group and the head of Carlyle’s Asian advisory board. Its directors include former US president George Herbert Walker Bush, former US secretary of state James Baker, current US secretary of state Colin Powell, former SEC chairman Arthur Levitt, former UK Prime Minister John Major, and former South Korean Prime Minister Park Tae-Joon.
Carlyle’s client list has included the likes of the bin Laden family and George Soros (a major player involved in the so-called Asian economic crisis of the late 1990s). Saudi prince Alwaleed Bin Talal has been one of Carlyle’s major investors. Its chairman is former Reagan administration defense secretary Frank Carlucci. Carlyle has major stakes in Taiwan, Singapore, South Korea, Japan and China, which was recently admitted into the World Trade Organization.”
Ramos also spearheaded the 2nd Yellow Revolution to topple the more popular President Joseph E. Estrada in 2001. He is expected to lead again the toppling of the incumbent president Rodrigo Duterte, not only for the latter’s pivot to BRICS, but to preserve the Abu Sayyaf terror network which is now suffering heavy casualties amidst heightened military operations in Sulu and Basilan.
Stratfor revealed that the US Armed Forces built a military base on the southern Philippine island of Basilan. Road-building projects, passed on as “civic action,” started the process of reestablishing a U.S. military base as part of America’s power projection and “forward basing” in Southeast Asia, the Texas-based think tank said.
Said base is where CIA operatives are sending their instructions and intel regarding the specific movements of AFP soldiers against their terrorist assets, i.e. Abu Sayyaf militants, on the ground. This explains why the Abu Sayyaf terrorists have always defeated the AFP cauldrons set up prior to Duterte’s presidency.
BRICS + ASEAN vs. Khazarian Mafia
There is now a strong possibility that Russia, like China, will not sit idly by on this golden opportunity to establish stronger economic and military alliances with the ASEAN now that the leaders of these countries have expressed, in concrete terms, their willingness to sever ties with the Nazionist Khazarian criminal syndicate holding up in the US and EU corporate governments.
Proof of the Philippine-Malaysia coordination on the ASEAN efforts to pivot to the BRICS Alliance is the recent courtesy call of the Malaysian Deputy Prime Minister and Speaker of the Lower House of the Parliament of Malaysia, to President Duterte, a day prior to Malaysian Prime Minister’s visit to China.

After the US presidential elections, the ASEAN region is where the next battle for geopolitical supremacy between BRICS virtual leader, Vladimir Putin, and Rothschild henchman, George Soros, will be waged next.
In order to deal with Soros, Malaysian officials need to give Vladimir Putin a call.
George Soros wants to create color revolution in Southeast Asia
by Jonas E. Alexis
George Soros has again shown that Jim W. Dean was right all along. Soros, Dean says, “refuses to die and join his victims.” Soros, Dean moves on to declare, has been involved in the “the age-old pump-and-dump stock manipulation scam” for quite a while.
As we have argued elsewhere, Soros was involved in destroying the Russian economy in the 1990s. But he has created other covert activities as well. He was behind the Black Lives Matter movement. He wants to flood Europe with so-called refugees from virtually all over the Middle East while remaining silent about US officials supporting terrorist organs in Syria. In short, Soros still wants to move and shake the world.
Soros has recently turned his attention to Southeast Asia. He wants to taste economic blood in that region. He has been in that part of the world before. And government officials know him pretty well.
Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad of Malaysia declared back in 1997 that for people like Soros, “wealth must come from impoverishing others, from taking what others have in order to enrich themselves. Their weapon is their wealth against the poverty of others.”[1] The New York Times reported then:
“Mr. Mahathir specifically blamed Mr. Soros for orchestrating Malaysia’s economic crisis—he told the assembled bankers and economists that Mr. Soros’s ilk had to be stopped.”
Mahathir said: “I am saying that currency trading is unnecessary, unproductive and totally immoral. It should be stopped. It should be made illegal. We don’t need currency trading.”
Mahathir was trying to articulate that rapacious usury is antithetical to the moral order and is therefore to be avoided. He has witnessed what usury, through “crony capitalism,” has done and how it precipitated the economic crisis in much of Asia, most specifically in South Korea and the Philippines. The same “currency” has brought down economic progress in places like Thailand and Indonesia, where was a drastic decline in income. One scholar noted:
“The enormity of the shock is captured by the fact that in the worst-affected countries real GDP growth has turned abruptly from over 7 per cent per annum to negative. In Thailand growth fell from 6 per cent in 1996 to almost zero in 1997, with all the decline concentrated in the second half of that year, and has fallen by at least a further 5 per cent in 1998. In Indonesia the corresponding swing is from 8 per cent growth up to the third quarter of 1997 to an absolute decline of 15 per cent in 1998…
“These huge aggregate income shifts were the result of a financial crisis reflected in precipitous currency devaluations and falls in equity prices. Currencies depreciated by up to 80 per cent in the worst case (the Indonesian rupiah) while equity and other asset prices fell by 50 per cent or more in the worst-affected countries.
“The key factor behind this currency and stock market collapse was a massive reversal of foreign capital flows. It has been estimated that for Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines net private inflows dropped from US$ 93 billion to 12 billion – a swing of 11 per cent of GDP between the end of 1996 and the end of 1997.”
Many countries in Asia were basically following capitalism by that time, and it was no accident that they had a huge debacle by 1997.[5] Mahathir, in that sense, was trying provide a response to that debacle. Soros didn’t like what Mahathir said because Soros is a capitalist and wanted to rip people in Southeast Asia off their labor. He fired back at Mahathir by saying:
“Dr. Mahathir’s suggestion yesterday to ban currency trading is so inappropriate that it does not deserve serious consideration. Interfering with the convertibility of capital at a moment like this is a recipe for disaster. Dr. Mahathir is a menace to his own country.”
Mahathir seemed to have learned his lesson. By 2003, he created a storm of controversy by saying that “The Jews rule the world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them.”
Some have said that Mahathir was promoting violence against Jews, but that itself is false. If a person says that the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, it does not necessitate the illogical idea that every single Japanese person is responsible for Pearl Harbor at all. Mahathir was making a general claim, and many Jews, including Henry Makow, agreed with him. Elias Davidsson of Jerusalem concurred as well. He said:
“As a Jew myself (but opposed to Zionism) I need no encouragement from Malaysain PM Mahathir Mohammed to observe what should be obvious to the blatant eye: Namely that Jews effectively rule US foreign policy and thus determine to a great extent the conductof most countries…
“So it is with the proposition that Jews control the world. Surely the do not control every single action; surely it does not mean that every Jew participates in the ‘control.’ But for all practical purposes the proposition holds.
“Mahathir has neither asked to discriminate against Jews, let along to kill Jews. It is shameful to equate him to the Hitlerites.”
Mahathir added elsewhere that “a U.S. dominated IMF was ‘trying to change the Asian system.” Obviously that “U.S. dominated IMF” was in concert with capitalism, which has been refined in the twenty-first century by people like Milton Friedman.
But Mahathir probably wouldn’t expect Soros to come back to Southeast Asia for round two. It has been reported that Soros is looking for a “color revolution” through his Open Society Foundation in Malaysia because he seems to think that there is a lack of “constitutional democracy.” Like Rodrigo Duterte, Malaysian Prime Minster Najib Razak has recently been trying to build an alliance with China:
“Malaysian Prime Minster Najib Razak heads to China next week to build closer ties and seek investment, which may further dent US aims in Southeast Asia after a push by President Rodrigo Duterte of the Philippines to bolster China ties.”
Obviously this is not good news for New World Order agents at all. It gets worse: “Both Malaysia and the Philippines have long been in dispute with China over the South China Sea. However, Kuala Lumpur may follow in the footsteps of Manila, seeking to ease tensions with Beijing in exchange for economic benefits.”
Soros again does not like that, and this might be one reason why he declared that “There is no Business like the Revolutions Business.’” Mathew Maavak of Risk Foresight at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) comments:
“NGOs and the West-friendly media constitute a major subsidiary of the global social revolutions enterprise. Together, they seek out, identify and amplify public discontent in nations not aligned to the United States.
“Such US-engineered activisms have never led to more equitable societies; rather they have engendered endless bloodshed and global terrorism. To the agitprop entrepreneur, the returns on revolutionary investments are immense.
“A wealthy hedge fund manager can short a targeted market before executing a pre-planned ‘revolution.’ The resultant stock market and currency meltdown would provide self-evidentiary ‘proof’ to an anxious public, exerting more pressure on the government of the day to either capitulate or concede to ‘popular demands’ that are actually drafted abroad, likely by the IMF!”
Maavak, like other experts in Asia, are well aware that Soros was behind the economic crisis in 1997. He writes,
“The entire region was in turmoil, and the name of George Soros featured prominently in this sordid saga. The ‘Reformasi’ [protest] movement led by sacked [Malaysian] Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim — who had close to ties to Washington hawks — failed to topple the government of the day.”
Perhaps Malaysia needs to do what China and Russia did: they need to kick Soros out of for good. Or perhaps they need to give Vladimir Putin a call and ask him how he did it. But what if China, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Russia end up forging an alliance, since they all realize that they have a common enemy? Would that be good news for the New World Order?
I guess US Deputy Secretary of Defense Bob Work has good reason to say: ““Our adversaries [Russia], quite frankly, are pursuing enhanced human operations and it scares the crap out of us.”[16]
Aside from the fiat monetary scam and bloodsoaked petrodollar, another significant source of funds for the Nazionist Khazarian Mafia is the “healthcare” industry which registered a whopping $3.09 trillion in 2014, and is projected to soar to $3.57 trillion in 2017, in the US alone. We believe that this is just a conservative figure.
We can all help the revolution by avoiding all Khazarian pharmaceutical drugs, defeat any viral attack and scaremongering, like the Zika virus, easily by knowing how to build our own comprehensive antiviral system. Find more about how we can kill three birds with one stone, right here.
To be sure, an offical axis between China, Russia and a nation that until recently was a core US ally in the Pacific Rim - whose loss would be a huge slap in the face of Obama and whoever replaced him as president - would be music to Putin's ears, which is why just minutes after Philippine President Duterte announced his stunning separation from the US, Russia’s ambassador to the country promptly said Moscow is ready to provide assistance to and fully cooperate with Manila.
"Formulate your wish list. What kind of assistance do you expect from Russia and we will be ready to sit down with you and discuss what can and should be done,” Russian Ambassador Igor Khovaev told GMA News on Friday. He then went on to state that Russia is open to working with the Philippines in “any area, any field of possible cooperation.”
The ambassador assured the news outlet that Moscow would not “interfere with the domestic affairs of a sovereign state,” and that the “true Russia” is much different than the one portrayed in Hollywood films. Khovaev added that the Philippines and Russia “deserve to know each other much, much better.”
The aggresive, if diplomatic brown nosing continued, when the ambassador also said that Duterte impressed Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev during a meeting in Laos last month, and that Moscow supports the leader’s fight against illegal drugs and criminality. In short, he said everything that Durterte wanted to hear just to make sure the Chinese-Russian-Philippino axis takes hold.
For its part, the Philippines’ budget minister announced that his country is open to all forms of assistance, but will choose what is in the “best interest of the country,” Reuters reported.
This could also include yet another U-turn, and prompt return to the safety of being a US puppet.
Which is why on Friday, the Philippines’ trade minister, Ramon Lopez, told CNN that the leader “wasn’t talking about separation” from the United States.
Although Duterte explicitly stated that the Philippines would be separating from the US economically, Lopez said that “in terms of economic [ties], we are not stopping trade, investment with America. The president specifically mentioned his desire to strengthen further the ties with China and the ASEAN region, which we have been trading with for centuries.”
He explained that the Philippines was just “breaking being too much dependent on one side…but we definitely won’t stop the trade and investment activities with the West, specifically the US.”
