The vice chairman of China's Central Military Commission meets with Sjafrie Sjamsuddin, secretary general of Indonesia's Defense Ministry, in Beijing, in 2009.
A number of countries are growing closer to China, at a time when Pakistan, and others, fear being attacked by the USA and its allies.
There is a fear that the 'Osama incident' in Abbottabad may be used to weaken Pakistan. This is ironic ifOSAMA 'WAS AN AMERICAN CITIZEN'
1. In May 2011, the Chinese Defence Minister has been visiting Indonesia, the Philippines and Singapore.
Indonesian Vice President Boediono met with visiting Chinese Defense Minister Liang Guanglie in Jakarta on 21 May 2011.
"Boediono said that the bilateral relations between Indonesia and China have grown rapidly since the two countries established a strategic partnership...
"He said Indonesia attaches great importance to enhancing comprehensive cooperation with China, including the cooperation in defense and security..."
2. "China's Defense Minister General Liang Guanglie will be in the Philippines from May 21 to 25, 2011, having previously visited Singapore and Indonesia as part of his Southeast Asian tour.
"The visit is expected to further advance China-Philippines friendly relations, specifically military exchanges and pragmatic cooperation." (China exec's visit d)
"China has officially put the United States on notice that Washington's planned attack on Pakistan will be interpreted as an act of aggression against Beijing.
"This blunt warning represents the first known strategic ultimatum received by the United States in half a century, going back to Soviet warnings during the Berlin crisis of 1958-1961, and indicates the grave danger of general war growing out of the US-Pakistan confrontation."
"Moscow has signaled superb support to Islamabad, and doubled it up with billions of Dollars of projects.
"Unlike US aid that only corrupts and bribes, and fills the pockets of US contractors, Russian aid has built steel mills and other infrastructures that have benefited the country and provided employment to thousands."
"In the Philippines, any challenge to the closed, family-based ruling class is met with relentless terror.
"In the Philippines, stagnation in the agricultural sector and a backward manufacturing sector, combined with electoral politics dominated by a coalition of landlords, warlords and oligarchic family clans, have led to mass poverty, deepening class inequalities and social polarization."
According to a former head of the CIA in Manila, Osama bin Laden came to the Philippines in 1992, at the invitation of the Philippine government. (Bin Laden, CIA.)
Bin Laden was flown to the southern island of Mindanao by the Philippine President Fidel Ramos.
Bin Laden was apparently invited to the Philippines in order to help strengthen Abu Sayyaf and other rebel groups based in Mindanao who were fighting the Philippine government.

The South China Sea lies between China and the Philippines.
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said: "The South China Sea is an area of growing concern."
In 2010, Aquino III became president and his government has been talking to the US about "a new military assistance package, an offer of a missiles and war aircraft sale, and port calls by warships from the U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM)."
The Obama regime wants to stop China challenging the US global power, and the Philippines is part of the plan.
Obama has deployed new special operations forces (SOFs) to the Philippines.
Aquino "runs the risk of antagonizing Beijing's trade ties with Manila and its growing investments in mining, electronics, and other industries."
"The U.S. government's strategic military operations in the Philippines in the guise of fighting terrorism are driven by America's war industries that are supported by big defense spending in the midst of recession."
The USA uses the Philippines as a military and intelligence base and as a source of energy, raw materials, land and cheap labour.
The Philippines could be as prosperous as Singapore or the Malaysia, but its agriculture and industry remain backward, thanks to rule by the corrupt and brutal CIA-backed oligarchs.
The CIA put Marcos into power and then ousted him.
The CIA later put Cory Aquino into power.
She backed the idea of the US military being in the Philippines.
Arroyo also backed the US military.
New York Journal 1902. America's General Jacob H Smith explained what he wanted to happen to the Philippinos: "I want no prisoners. I wish you to kill and burn, the more you kill and burn the better it will please me. I want all persons killed who are capable of bearing arms in actual hostilities against the United States."
Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark investigated the activities of the death squads in 1987 and wrote that “the victims of vigilante violence were overwhelmingly poor farmers, slum dwellers and others who are pushing for significant land reform, wage increase and protection of workers rights, as well as those who oppose U.S. military bases in the Philippines.”[iv]
1. The fall of the wall was 'staged', as Munich’s Suddeutsche Zeitung has now explained.
2. The East German government planned the opening of the wall.
The West German government knew this.
3. Some days before the wall opened, the plan was discussed during a lunch meeting at East Berlin’s Palast hotel between Walter Momper, the mayor of West Berlin, and the official who would open the wall less than two weeks later, Günter Schabowski.
The two men discussed which checkpoints could be opened to best make use of the subway system, as well as the volume of visitors to expect.
2 million Americans could all peacefully surround the White House and Capitol Hill, and hold signs saying 'we're not leaving until the Constitution and the rule of law are restored'...
The Ukranianpeople stood up to tyranny and won. The East German people stood up to tyranny and won. The people of the Philippines,Serbia, Czechoslovakia, Indonesiaand other countries around the world have won against tyranny whenever ordinary people have poured into the streets in massive numbers and demanded freedom.

There may be a problem here about historical accuracy.
People Power is usually only successful when it has the backing of the elite.
1. In the 1381 Peasants Revolt in England, the people went on the march. The king promised to meet the peasants' demands. The peasants headed homewards.
Most of the leaders of the revolt were then executed and the king broke his promises.
2. Now let's look at the UKRAINE.
The Orange Revolution looks like a CIA operation to replace a set of pro-Russian oligarchs with a set of pro-American oligarchs.
Ian Traynor, in The Guardian 26 November 2004 (US campaign behind the turmoil in Kiev Special reports ...), described the Ukraine's Orange Revolution as 'an American creation, a sophisticated and brilliantly conceived exercise in western branding and mass marketing...
'The Democratic party's National Democratic Institute, the Republican party's International Republican Institute, the US state department and USAid are the main agencies involved in these grassroots campaigns as well as the Freedom House NGO and billionaire George Soros's open society institute. '
3. Now let us look at revolts in Eastern Europe, including Hungary and Romania.
In 1956 there was revolt in Hungary against the communist regime. There was no serious support for the rebels from the CIA and its friends and the revolt was crushed.
The 1989 revolt in Romania was successful.
An article apparently written by former Securitate officers ('Was This Your Revolution? This is How It Was!' Democratia, No. 36, 24-30 Sept. 1990) describes how the CIA and KGB organised the fall of Ceausescu.
Reportedly, key figures in the revolt were working for the CIA and KGB, including Militaru (allegedly a KGB-CIA double agent) and the former Securitate officer and adviser to Ceausescu, Dumitru Mazilu (allegedly a CIA agent), and Silviu Brucan (allegedly both a CIA and KGB agent).
Reportedly, just before the revolt, there were 'massive arrivals of so-called Hungarian tourists in Timisoara and Soviet tourists in Cluj'.
4. What about the Philippines?
By the mid 1980s, the CIA had decided that Marcos was no longer the person to run the Philippines. The CIA wanted someone more 'popular'. So a People Power movement was used to replace Marcos with Aquino.
5.Indonesia provides the best example of CIA-organised People Power.
At some point in the 1990s Suharto was seen by some Americans as having become too powerful and too independent minded.
Suharto was giving too many business contracts to his family and Chinese-Indonesian cronies, rather than to American companies like Ford.
Some people in the Pentagon considered the possibility of having a general such as Prabowo or Wiranto or Yuhhoyono take over.
In order to topple Suharto there would need to be riots.
In Indonesia, in the years 1997- 1998, there were riots in various parts of Indonesia. Some riots looked spontaneous and some looked as if they had been planned. (http://www.insideindonesia.org/edit50/riots.htm)
In 1998 one of the key generals was Prabowo, son of Dr. Sumitro Djojohadikusumo, a former Finance Minister, said to have once worked with the British and the Americans against Sukarno.
At the start of May 1998, students were holding peaceful demonstrations on university campuses across the country. They were protesting against massive price rises for fuel and energy, and they were demanding that President Suharto should step down.
On May 12th, students at Jakarta's Trisakti University, many of them the children of the elite, planned to march to parliament to present the government with their demands for reform. The police prevented the students from marching.
Some time after 5pm, uniformed men on motorcycles appeared on the flyover which overlooks Trisakti. Shots rang out. Four students were killed.
Riots of May 13-14
On the 13th of May there were reports of rioting in the area around Trisakti. President Suharto was attending a conference in Egypt and the military top brass went off to Malang in East Java to attend a ceremony.
On the 14th of May, serious rioting took place in the Jakarta area. There were no signs of any uniformed soldiers on the streets.
Deaths
Over 1,000 people died during these Jakarta riots, most having been burnt in malls and supermarkets but some having been shot or beaten.
Alleged involvement of the military in planning the riots
Father Sandyawan Sumardi, a 40-year-old Jesuit priest and son of a police chief, led an independent investigation into the events of May 1998.
As a member of the Team of Volunteers for Humanitarian Causes he interviewed people who had witnessed the alleged involvement of the military in organising the riots and rapes.
A security officer alleged that Kopassus (special forces) officers had ordered the burning down of a bank;
a taxi driver reported hearing a man in a military helicopter encouraging people on the ground to carry out looting;
shop-owners at a Plaza claimed that, before the riots, military officers tried to extract protection money;
a teenager claimed he and thousands of others had been trained as protesters;
a street child alleged that Kopassus officers ordered him and and his friends to become rioters;
there was a report of soldiers being dressed up as students and then taking part in rioting;
eyewitnesses spoke of muscular men with short haircuts arriving in military-style trucks and directing attacks on Chinese homes and businesses.
There were reports of children being encouraged to enter malls and then of the malls being set on fire;
there were allegations that muscular men with short haircuts had gang-raped little Chinese girls and then murdered some of them.
Suharto told he had lost the support of the military
Some of Suharto's former allies deserted him. Wiranto allowed students to occupy Parliament. Reportedly Wiranto reported to Suharto on May 20th that Suharto no longer had the support of the army. Suharto was forced to resign on May 21 and was replaced by Habibie, his Vice President.
The continuing importance of the military
Wiranto remained as chief of the armed forces. Wiranto's troops began removing the students from the parliament building.
One result of the May riots was that the military appeared to remain the power behind the throne. In 2004, General Yudhoyono became president.
In conclusion: a study of History may help us to understand how change comes about.
The Peasants' Revolt was defeated. But, the condition of the peasants did eventually improve due to a shortage of labour (caused by the Black death).

Gloria Arroyo has won a local election in her part of the Philippines.
Andal Ampatuan Senior, the boss of the clan suspected to have massacred 57 people in the southern Philippines in November 2009, is leading in the race for the post of vice -governor in Maguindanao province.

"In the Philippines, stagnation in the agricultural sector and a backward manufacturing sector, combined with electoral politics dominated by a coalition of landlords, warlords and oligarchic family clans, have led to mass poverty, deepening class inequalities and social polarization...
"Elections in the Philippines are violent contests between rival ‘oligarchic’ families ... where guns and assassinations, as well as ballots, decide which ‘faction’ will rule.
"Political elites actually enlist the help of the local police, military, paramilitary and death squads to kill leading rival contenders, in order to ensure a ‘win’ for their candidates.
According to a former head of the CIA in Manila, Osama bin Laden came to the Philippines in 2002, at the invitation of the Philippine government. (Bin Laden, CIA.)
Bin Laden was flown to the southern island of Mindanao by the Philippine President Fidel Ramos.
Bin Laden was apparently invited to the Philippines in order to help strengthen Abu Sayyaf and other rebel groups based in Mindanao who were fighting the Philippine government.
Apparently, the USA, and its friends, are responsible for organising terrorism worldwide.
On 27 February 2010, we read that suspected CIA-linked militants stormed a village in Basilan province in the Southern Philippines, killing at least 11 people, including a one-year-old baby.
"Police suspect the attack was launched by a joint group of Abu Sayyaf and rogue Moro Islamic Liberation Front members." (Philippine Rebels Wage Retaliatory Attack)
In the Philippines, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) and Abu Sayyaf are 'terrorist' groups.
Philippines by lionel bodilis Michael Meiring, a suspected CIA operative, spent time in the Philippines.
In 2002, Michael Meiring injured himself in an explosion in his own hotel room.
A Philippine government investigation determined the centre of the blast came from an assembled bomb kept in a metal box owned by Meiring.
BusinessWorld, a leading Philippine newspaper, published articles accusing Meiring of being a CIA agent involved in covert operations ‘to justify the (recent) stationing of American troops and bases in Mindanao.’
Larry Chin, at Online Journal, 8 August 2002, has written 'The United States in the Philippines: post-9 11 imperatives.' According to Chin, the USA uses the Philippines 1. as a military and intelligence base 2. as a source of energy, raw materials, land and cheap labour.
In her affidavit, Gadian also accused the US military of building permanent structures in different military camps in the country.
3. Founded in the early 1990s with seed money from Osama bin Laden (of the CIA), the Abu Sayyaf is blamed for a series of bombings and kidnappings.
4. MANILA, Philippines (Xinhua) - A United Nations agency has identified the Philippines as one of the seven countries in Asia with the worst child trafficking condition. more here
Yesterday we asked: "Has a powerful faction within the Kosher Nostra decided to have the UK run by an alliance of Nick Clegg's Liberal Democrats and a Labour party under David Miliband?" (AFTER MILIBAND'S VISIT TO WASHINGTON)
What has actually happened is that Nick Clegg's Liberal Democrats have done a deal with the Conservatives under David Cameron.
All three leading parties support the war in Afghanistan and nuclear weapons.
The Liberal Democrats have agreed (sort of) to keep Trident and they have agreed to abandon the idea of a special tax on mansions. (Deal produces five-year parliaments)
