Rameses Casten

De Micropedia
Rameses Javier Casten (born December 14, 1994) is a terrorist leader in the
Philippines also known as the Black Activist and Chairman Ram. Operating his
notoriously rogue online channel Ram Speaks, and related Fidelis media platforms
called Voice of Fidelis, LunaTV, and Radio Fidelis, Casten continues to use
micronationalism and his self-proclaimed status as a political thinker as a
platform for his fraudulent works and hateful messages. He is currently serving as
a star general, strategic communications officer, and general-in-charge for special
operations of the militant group United States Allied Freedom Fighters of the East
(USAFFE) under the leadership of Atty. Elly Pamatong.

Early life and career

Hailing from a troubled family, it was said that self-confessed Communist Casten was usually looked down upon by
relatives. He saw an opportunity to prove himself by immersing in radical terrorism. In 2010, Casten tried to create his own
Wikipedia page to promote his radical ideology. Posing as a known personality from Davao who openly campaigned for
the Communist Party of the Philippines as a legal political organization, he clashed with the editors to keep this
autobiographical article which clearly violates the website's guidelines. In this article, he also claimed to be a scientist and
a mathematician. He did not succeed in keeping the article active.

From 2012 to 2014, Casten served as Executive Secretary of Atty. Elly Pamatong, self-proclaimed President of the
Philippines who was declared as a nuisance candidate in the 2004, 2010, and 2016 national elections. On the run from his
pursuers who knew of his Communist activity, Casten took refuge under Pamatong's wing and became a key member of
his organization. Organizing a paramilitary group called United States Allied Freedom Fighters of the East (not to be
confused with the real USAFFE which served during the Second World War), Pamatong and Casten plotted in 2014 to
bomb Ninoy Aquino International Airport, SM Mall of Asia, the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines, and several businesses
with major Chinese and Filipino populations. Pamatong was caught by Philippine authorities for this terror plot, while
Casten went into hiding. Pamatong and Casten were involved in
illegal possession of firearms and explosives, which cache
included M16 rifles and M203 grenade launchers, and disrespect
of national symbols. In 2016, the Supreme Court of the
Philippines suspended Pamatong from practicing law. Other
public acts Pamatong and his group did to terrorize include
planting metal spikes along EDSA, a major thoroughfare in the
Philippines, which damaged more than 160 vehicles.

Casten studied Political Science at the University of Mindanao

from 2012 to 2017. During this time, he organized the United
Political Science Students in the Philippines (UPSSP) with
himself as chairman in 2016. While veiled as a student
organization, he also used the innocent group as a recruitment
and training ground for terrorists. The UPSSP is not recognized
by any of the established political science organizations in the
Philippines.

Micronationalist as terrorist
After the failed terror plot, Casten began to be involved in
micronationalism around 2014 or 2015. With the help of Luis
Hayate Palay (Lakan Mahayap of the Independent State of
Kaleido and the Sora Naegino Post), he infiltrated the Rajahnate
of Namayan as a citizen and assumed a leadership role in this General Rameses Javier Casten of the USAFFE
micronation, forcing Eugenio de Namayan to abdicate in 2016. Liberation Army is in charge of the terrorist group's
strategic communications and special operations.
While doing his infiltration ops, he further influenced fellow
micronationalists towards terrorist activities. When Namayan
dissolved, he organized the Metropolitan Electorate of Fidelis in 2017, where he continued his destabilization plots as the
so-called Prince Elector.

Scholar fraud
Claiming as an academic, he allegedly began micronational research in 2017, but he did not find any funding for his
endeavors. He asked for 2,000 US dollars for a Pioneer Micropatrological Research, Development and Trust Fund.
However, this did not stop him from finding new ways to finance his clandestine activities. Also in 2017, Casten's and
Pamatong's group tried to enter Marawi City while wearing fake military uniforms in the pretext of helping government
forces, while in reality aiming to join up with other terrorists. At this time, Marawi City in the Philippines was occupied by
ISIS militants led by the Maute group. The unwarranted entry of Pamatong's group while the siege was ongoing was seen
as seditious and bordering secessionism. Government forces captured them at the checkpoints, arresting their group
because of suspected extortion. In the midst of the crisis, Casten claimed under a different name that he was a star
general who was sanctioned by the United Nations.

Church scandal
In 2019, Casten allegedly embezzled church and charity funds for
his own personal gain. It was also claimed that he sought foreign
investments, estimated to reach a tune of 65,000 US dollars, to
fund his whims. Casten blamed the church under Bishop
Immanuel Emerson Beriones and Bishop Regen Luna of its "PR
campaign" putting him into bad light, but Casten never really
resolved the issues. He instead resorted to shaming his
accusers, and then telling others that he was vindicated anyway.
The church was accredited and acclaimed in its home city for its
good works with a resolution from the city council. Soon after,
the church was reportedly burned with millions worth in losses.
While it was officially blamed to faulty electrical wiring, Casten
remained highly suspect.

Fake coronavirus medicine

In 2020, he met again with Pamatong. This time, they worked on
marketing unproven drugs to treat COVID-19 (SARS-COV-2). Their
group claimed that the drugs they sell could cure the virus, but it
has not yet been clinically tested in any country. Casten
spearheaded a fraudulent donation campaign for impoverished
families, but they never delivered the promised assistance. Also,
Pamatong reportedly accused again the Philippine government
as illegitimate and needs to be overthrown.
Pamatong and Casten accused Filipino President
Rodrigo Duterte and Chinese President Xi Jinping of
being terrorists.
Targeted harassment
Labeling himself as reckless, tactless, and fearless, his terrorism
did not know any bounds. Casten has continually bullied, harassed, and slandered his targets online and offline by tagging
them relentlessly with troll-like intensity while claiming that his freedom of speech and expression was crossed if any one
tries to question against his methods. He has also sent death threats against his opponents. His fraudulent activities and
false claims are comparable to James Klaassen-White, who was arrested in the United Kingdom for a bomb hoax.

One of his notable targets was Genesis John Martinez, a college student and micronationalist of Curimae. Casten, with
his consort Elizabeth Belardo, and his allies Wandice Prince Drinian Ordanel, Luis Hayate Palay, and Federal Republic of
Lostisland ambassador Mart Ian Siapno, made distasteful remarks against Martinez and his friends as having a mental
illness and publicly shamed the latter for some time in 2019. The micronationalist mafia also accused Curimae of using
social media accounts which they did not have access to. While Curimae was established earlier (2004), he did not show
any respect with his fellow people by declaring a Sacred War against Curimae.

Casten also clashed with the noble Commonwealth of Dracul, which leaders he called names and even made credible
violent threats against them. Another notable target was his own ally, Luis Palay, who in 2018 he called a madman, an
utmost shame to the micronational community, and an imperialist. This display highlights not only Casten's terrorist
behavior, but also his intent to spread unncessary malice and his lack of empathy for other people.

Praising Al-Qaeda
While in an assembly of Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF)
militants, including their chairman Nur Misuari, Pamatong in
2001 lauded the Al-Qaeda terrorists who carried out the
September 11 attacks against the United States as heroes of
Islam. Casten defended Pamatong's statements, saying that he
personally knew Pamatong and his leader made more sense than
anybody else. Casten would even assert that he looked up to
Pamatong as his father. However, the peaceful Muslim
community saw this as a blow to delay the peace talks, which
would ultimately lead to the establishment of the Bangsamoro
Autonomous Region only in 2019.

Other activities
Casten is currently teaching technical and vocational courses
while disguising himself as a productive element of Filipino
society. He overcharged the courses he taught, some of which
would otherwise have been offered for free. He continues his
terrorist recruitment through this and mostly online means. He is
also involved in agriculture through La Compania Mercantil De
Davao.

Casten has also entered the counterfeiting business by printing

fake money he called Fidelese Salapi and exchanging them for Pamatong and Casten accused of Vice President Leni
real currency. The fake money had his own face and the faces of Robredo as plotting an assassination attempt to
his accomplices in them. assume higher office.

Casten is also involved in setting up a fake political party which

he called the Philippine People's Merit and Social Justice Party.
Founded in 2020, it is not accredited nor legally registered in the
Philippines as a legitimate party. This implies that it is a rogue
party operating as a political arm of his terrorist activities. The
party is openly recruiting to this day, particularly targeting the
young people.

Condemnation in the micronational Pamatong and Casten's group, USAFFE, were blamed
community for the bombings in Davao City and Metro Manila. While
the 2014 Metro Manila plot was prevented, the Davao
Allies of the Commonwealth of Dracul, notably the House of bombing in 2016 killed at least 14 people.
DeHerrera and DeWaco Estates, have strongly condemned the
actions of Casten. There are also micronational groups which
banned Casten for attempting to claim membership which he did not possess. In the micronational world, he was largely
seen as a troublemaker and a renegade who bad-mouthed and slandered peers. He also lied about his micronational
background in order to gain diplomatic favors. There is little to no support for Casten outside the micronation group he
formed and dominated.
