August 23rd was a big news day all over the world. The western media’s focus on the events of that day was solidly on the unproven claims that Russian President Vladimir Putin was behind the sabotage or shooting down of an executive jet that killed his former associate Yevgeny Prigozhin. In reality, however, there was a far more important story that was coming out of South Africa. In fact, Putin had a far more important job to do on that day due to his desire to make progress in stripping the United States of its dollar hegemony. Putin was engaged by videolink in the discussions taking place in Johannesburg regarding expanding the so-called BRICS monetary union, in part to include measures that would diminish the dominance of the dollar in the world economy. That objective would have been damaged severely if Putin had been implicated in the spectacular public assassination of a rival on the same day as the BRICS meeting that would have been not only an embarrassment but also very damaging vis-a-vis his credibility as a statesman. If Putin had really wanted to kill Prigozhin, there were less politically damaging ways to do so and as of this writing the cause of the airplane crash remains unknow. By one theory, the death of Prigozhin was carried out by an airplane bomb planted by US or British intelligence working with Ukrainian agents inside Russia to discredit the Russian leader, knowing that even if he were innocent he would be blamed for the killing, which is precisely how the story has been developing in the US and Europe.

The name BRICS comes from an acronym for Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Goldman Sachs economist Jim O’Neill reportedly coined the term BRIC (without South Africa) in 2001 and the group was set up a few years later using the acronym. Recently, the drive to expand BRICS has gained momentum as a result of the completely avoidable Ukraine war. The venerable status quo for international finance was developed in the wake of the Second World War at Bretton-Woods, where the instruments of the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) were created, to include endorsing the dollar as the de facto world reserve currency for many transactions. The entire structure is, by design, managed by a transatlantic capitalist cabal based in Washington.

There is currently only limited competition to the IMF and World Bank in the global marketplace for credit, loans, issuance of money and capital, the power to grow and develop economies, project finance, and to stay competitive with the influx of much needed capital to house, clothe, educate, or feed the people of the world. And the United States knows that and uses its control over the financial system to keep countries in line politically.

The BRICS banking model, based as it is on a multipolar world with multiple currencies and lending arrangements, has offered an alternative to this out-of-control monster of a global banking monopoly maintained by the IMF. This is why 132 nations, which had been calling on the UN for a new financial model, immediately saw hope in the BRICS alternative banking and financing initiatives which began to take shape in 2015. Within the first year, 57 countries formally joined the China-led Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), constituting the first total break from the Western Bretton Woods institutions, with initial capitalization of the BRICS New Development Bank stated to be $100 billion.

So BRICS has been around in its current form for about eight years, but interest in it exploded with events surrounding the start of the Ukraine War. A little over a year and a half ago, the US responded to the Russian intervention in Ukraine by using its control over the international banking system to slap sanctions on Moscow’s financial assets around the world, including freezing billions of dollars in banks in New York. By one estimate, $1 trillion in Russian assets were frozen and Russian banks were also denied access to the SWIFT global messaging service that connects financial institutions and facilitates rapid and secure payments. Washington subsequently announced that the frozen money would not be returned and would be instead used for Ukraine’s reconstruction. That set off warning lights all around the world, though there had already been similar behavior on the part of the US in relation to Iranian and Venezuelan assets. Many were asking the question “If they can do it to a great power like Russia they can also do it to me to punish me? What should I do?” Of course the simple answer is to get out of dollars as a reserve currency, though that was something difficult to do as most energy sales and purchases continue to be, by arrangement, denominated in dollars. Hence the transition to BRICS away from dollars, permitting financial transactions in a range of currencies.

The annual meeting of BRICS Partner Countries Business Forum, as they refer to themselves, took place in Johannesburg South Africa over August 21st-24th. Meeting host South African President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates will formally join the BRICS group of nations as their candidacies had been approved by leaders of the current member states. The six newcomers will become full-fledged BRICS club members starting in January 2024. The club, which is the inner circle of the banking system, currently consists of the founders Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa though there are many other non-members who enjoy limited banking privileges, including Britain, France, Germany, Italy, New Zealand and Australia. The desirability of BRICS expansion topped the agenda of the summit in Johannesburg all week. Russian President Vladimir Putin, whose nation will take up the rotating BRICS presidency next year, spoke to the attendees via videolink and thanked the host of the summit for his hospitality and contribution to the successful outcome.

Chinese President Xi Jinping actually attended the summit meeting, as did the heads of state of Brazil, China and India to discuss a broad range of geopolitical, economic and trade issues. President Xi declared to the group that in the context of BRICS’s growth “China stands firmly on the right side of history, and believes that a just cause should be pursued for the common good.” He also denounced the United States indirectly, saying that “some country, obsessed with maintaining its hegemony, has gone out of its way to cripple the EMDCs (emerging markets and developing countries).” He argued that attempts to punish and contain developing countries would be “futile,” and that “the collective rise of EMDCs represented by BRICS is fundamentally changing the global landscape…[as] EMDCs have contributed up to 80% of global growth in the past 20 years.” He added that “I am glad to note that over 20 countries are knocking on the door of BRICS. China hopes to see more joining the BRICS cooperation mechanism.”

BRICS multipolar banking model embracing multiple currencies and the resources made available through its New Development Bank are clearly concepts whose time has arrived and its membership will likely surge over the next several years as the US continues to seek to rule the world through sanctions that destroy economies and impoverish whole nations, such as it currently does in Syria and Venezuela. In its closing document from the summit, the attendees indirectly attacked US use of sanctions, stating that there should be “concern about the use of unilateral coercive measures.” There is particular resentment throughout much of the developing world of US attempts to use primary and secondary sanctions to coerce countries that are disinclined to do so into supporting the NATO war effort in Ukraine.

BRICS enjoys certain advantages as it grows including the leadership of China, which might already be the world’s largest economy, as well as the commitment of developed fast growing large economies Russia, Brazil, India, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Iran. The expanded BRICS includes 36% of the entire world’s GDP (larger than the G7) and 47% of the world’s population. BRICS member countries will soon control nearly half the world’s energy resources and if Venezuela, Algeria and Kazakhstan are included as new members as early as in 2024, it may control as much as 90% of all oil and gas traded globally. It is reported that as many as forty new countries have applied to join alliance. Even the Vatican has sought membership as an observer.

The rise of BRICS means that the US dollar will, at a minimum, lose its relative monopoly on oil and gas trades and sales. The dominance of dollar economics will thereby inevitably fade and the dollar will surely decline as the world’s top reserve currency, though it will undoubtedly continue to survive in that capacity in parts of the world where the US continues to have considerable political and economic leverage, like Latin America. What will the outcome for the United State economy and for American citizens be? It is hard to calculate, and some are predictably dismissive of possible negative outcomes, but the dollar will inevitably shrink in value, hurting consumers, and Americans will undoubtedly find many potential markets closed to US development and investment. That is in part why there is such a panic about China on Capitol Hill. China does not pose a military threat but it out competes the United States globally and, operating through BRICS and other mechanisms it is already the lead nation in a highly competitive and attractive economic alliance that decisively rejects the American and Western European model. Of course, the US could respond by lightening up on the coercive economic policies that it has for so long employed, but there is little to suggest that either Joe Biden or Donald Trump would choose to go down that path. It is the American consumer and tax payer who will suffer and have to pay the price for whatever missteps they make. And the ultimate possible horror scenario is “Will the US be ‘forced’ to go nuclear against BRICS to save the dollar?” Don’t put anything past the power-mad neocons and globalists dominating Washington. Stay tuned!

    It’s the sheer stupidity of this US policy which is most shocking. Did Washington drink the Kool-Aid of sites like this one and conclude that since the BRICS were mostly Non-White and Non-Christian, they were too stupid to figure this out?

    In my opinion only the timng of the Dollar’s fall is in question. Within a month – or several years down the road: it sure looks like it’s going to happen. That the White House and Congress are both turning into top-of-the-line nursing homes at the same time as the Dollar’s teetering may not be a coincidence. Having a nation under the control of “end-of-life” politicians probably isn’t a good idea.

    Quite possibly. It has long been considered and reasonably so as the exorbitant privilege is thoroughly resented. Nevertheless BRICS as a challenger may have an achilles heel which would alter the effort to dethrown the dollar immensely.

    The concentration of petroleum production in the hands of the BRICS could be devastating rather than empowering if a major collapse in the use of petroleum for energy were to occur. Efforts to find alternative sources of power have been ongoing for decades. Here I exclude the so-called Green Energy sources and speak of scientific revolution and the overturning of long held scientific ideas. The ideas not necessarily held by scientists, but political and geopolitical types whose view of the scientific world helps define their views of political and geopolitical reality.

    In this political worldview of technology petroleum remains important in energy production for a long time into the future even if lamented by many. The BRICS states would wield immense power from petroleum production because the world needs energy and petroleum is at the center of world energy production.

    But suppose it is not so? Technological revolution has been particularly absent from our time. So much so that most people have forgotten that it exists. Suppose this is not so. Suppose a revolution in energy production is occuring but is being ignored by. all not directly interested in such things. What happens then to these well made plans.

    I submit that we are closer to an energy revolution than is often supposed. The US has the seeds of such a revolution and the US may find it finally worth its while to promote such change if control of the oil market falls to the BRICS. Weaponizing technological change, when possible, is as reasonable as any other weaponization. Reasons to openly back such change seem to be coming with the rise of the BRICS. See the Brilliant Light Power website for a taste of what may come.

  9. And the ultimate possible horror scenario is “Will the US be ‘forced’ to go nuclear against BRICS to save the dollar?” Don’t put anything past the power-mad neocons and globalists dominating Washington.

    That is the question, and it has become a potential reality when Russia invaded and they froze their oil trading accounts:

    So BRICS has been around in its current form for about eight years, but interest in it exploded with events surrounding the start of the Ukraine War. A little over a year and a half ago, the US responded to the Russian intervention in Ukraine by using its control over the international banking system to slap sanctions on Moscow’s financial assets around the world, including freezing billions of dollars in banks in New York. By one estimate, $1 trillion in Russian assets were frozen and Russian banks were also denied access to the SWIFT global messaging service that connects financial institutions and facilitates rapid and secure payments. Washington subsequently announced that the frozen money would not be returned and would be instead used for Ukraine’s reconstruction.

    Lavrov said the west stole $300 billion:

    https://sputnikglobe.com/20220501/russian-fm-lavrov-west-has-just-stolen-over-300-billions-from-moscow-1095189793.html

    Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Sunday that over $300 billion was stolen from Russia, the majority of which was payments for oil and gas supplies, because energy giant Gazprom had to store money in Western bank accounts.

    Then the CIA/Navy/Blinken/Biden blew the Nordstream pipeline.

    And if that wasn’t bad enough, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Saturday that it would be “unthinkable” for Russia not to pay for Ukraine’s reconstruction.

    So it is very clear the west (at behest of Jewry) is sticking it to Russia. Stealing $300 billion (or a trillion) is a serious act of war, as is blowing the main gas pipe to Europe, then dictating terms to Putin and Russia for the repair bill an insult. IMO outspoken Ursula is big on grandiose proclamations and short on diplomacy and wisdom.

    So why doesn’t Russia take all or part of Ukraine, since they are getting screwed and billed? And I am quite sure Ursula is going to divvy up the stolen Russian loot to bail out the failed socialist states of the EU. IMO Ukraine will never see a penny of that reconstruction money, the EU has thrown Zelensky and Ukraine under the bus. I am quite sure the EU bureaucrats are salivating over the stolen Russian oil trading money, as are Jews like Blinken, Yellen, and the senior VPs at JP Morgan. That is a serious chunk of change that a whole lot of unscrupulous actors will want to pocket.

    So one thing is for sure, Russia is never getting their dime back.

    So after all of this drama, Russia is pushing hard for an new clearing system to compete with SWIFT. And you have to wonder why they didn’t do that long ago. But that is what is happening and then the question is, how does that affect the US Dollar.

    Well I have an idea, the USD must stay strong (relative to other currencies) or the US Gov will go under. The United States has nearly 33 trillion in debt, and every penny they are planning to spend must also be financed. So when the hegemon loses it’s monopoly they will be forced to compete in the debt markets for buyers. Thus, it seems, interest rates must go up to keep the hegemon financed as the world runs to BRICS alternative system.

    Three things coming down the Albert C. Pike freeway to hell, interest rates are going to keep going up, deficit spending will continue to be out of control, interest on the outstanding debt is set to soar past 1 trillion a year any day now, then rapidly keep going up to 2 trillion or higher. This gross fiscal mismanagement, where they spent money like mad when interest rates went to zero under ZIRP, has now reversed – yet they are still spending money like mad – clueless about that gravy train is over.

    Does anyone doubt the fiscal crisis in USSA is going to end badly?

    So since the drunken sailors will never curtail spending, another thing is going to happen, US Treasuries will be downgraded again … then again. And that means as the US becomes a banana republik, they will have to pay more to float debt. So it is not looking good for US borrowing needs – especially as the world moves to BRICS which is also proposing a gold standard currency.

    Once BRICS gets rollin’ then nation after nation will act in their self interest and abandon the USSA Titanic going under. And eventually, maybe sooner than anyone thinks, the US Government will be forced, by the credit markets, to drastically reduce deficit spending. Like any bankrupt spendthrift, the day comes when you get cut off. Of course people will say they will just print money, but maybe not, because the bond market can get spooked.

    Germany didn’t have any where near that kind of foreign reserves that Russia did in 2021, or China even today. Versailles and all the crippling reparations had already stripped Germany of all her foreign reserves. The English Pound was still the worlds reserve currency. Germany didn’t even have any gold reserves.

    One part of the Havaara agreements was that as Jews left Germany with their wealth in Reichmarks, the only way they could spend that money was through German imports.

    It could have been done, to my understanding, but wasn’t.

    Au contraire, “Nazi Germany” was entirely created and funded by the rootless, cosmopolitan financiers of Wall Street and the City of London.

    Increase your understanding of this phenomenon by reading Antony Sutton’s so-called Wall Street trilogy:

    Sutton’s next three published books (Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution, Wall Street and FDR and Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler) detailed Wall Street’s involvement in the Bolshevik Revolution to destroy Russia as an economic competitor and turn it into “a captive market and a technical colony to be exploited by a few high-powered American financiers and the corporations under their control” as well as its decisive contributions to the rise of Adolf Hitler and Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose policies he assessed as being essentially the same “corporate socialism,” planned by the big corporations. Sutton concluded that it was all part of the economic power elites’ “long-range program of nurturing collectivism” and fostering “corporate socialism” in order to ensure “monopoly acquisition of wealth” because it “would fade away if it were exposed to the activity of a free market.”

  22. PJ London says:

    The thing about money is whether anyone else will accept it. I have 50 trillion in Zimbabwe dollars or $0.75.
    The US dollar was (forcibly) used as both a store of wealth and a relatively stable means of transaction. The Weimar Deutschmark taught countries not to trust the issuer of debt and at Bretton Woods the world’s greatest creditor said “From now on we will only trust our US money and you guys must do the same.” The US said “We will lend you money to buy our goods, but you must store your gold in the US as a guarantee.”
    This worked great until someone said “Could we please see our gold that you are keeping for us in Fort Knox.” Then all hell broke loose and Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard.
    It is the giver of credit that holds the reins and for 50 years US was that country, not any longer. When the US went into being a debtor country instead of a creditor country, the position changed. But to keep it’s bargaining position the US went over to military punishment for any country that challenged the financial status quo. Ask Castro, Hussein and Gaddafi.
    Currently, the US has no products that anyone else wants. There used to be thousands, including entertainment but now …
    The last product was the intellectual property of ‘microchips’ this was exported to Holland for development and Taiwan for production whilst the fees kept pouring into the US. Now China has beaten the microchip business and there is nothing left of US that cannot be sourced better and cheaper elsewhere.
    The US has to borrow money to buy the products that Americans need on a daily basis, but have nothing to offer in exchange. So far about $12 trillion of the US $32 trillion debt is held by countries that have given US credit in return for delivering real products. (The other $20 trillion is held by Americans investors [pension funds] or are book-keeping BS between government accounts. Social Security is guaranteed by a government promise, good luck with that.)
    So if Spain says to China “I want to buy 2 million TVs, and I will give you $50m in US treasury bonds.” China says, “Hang on, we already have $1 trillion, and don’t trust the US to give us anything of value in return. Can we please have something of actual value like Olive oil or tomatoes.”
    Or Spain says to India “I want to buy 2 million tons of cotton, and I will give you $50m in US treasury bonds.” India says, “Hang on, we already have $300 billion, and don’t trust the US to give us anything of value in return. Can we please have something of actual value like Olive oil or tomatoes.”
    At which point Spain says “Alright, what about 80 million Yuan? Will that be OK.” India says “Sure, we need 50 million TVs and Chinese are not taking dollars any more.”
    The US hegemony is over because no can trust the Americans or their economy and no one fears them as they used to. Yes, US can cause pain, but now there are alternative countries that will support you.
    Turkey wanted (and advertised) to join BRICS right up until they lost 60,000 people and countless billions in an earthquake. Now suddenly Russia is not a friend anymore and BRICS is off the table.
    In 2002 I advised a Central Bank to look to Roubles and Yuan as a store of wealth, I was right but forgot the first rule of economics.

    Mayer Amschel Rothschild famously stated “give me control of a nation’s money supply, and I care not who makes its laws.

    After Waterloo, the Rothschild Cabal got complete control of the Bank of England and the English money supply. Gold was money and the worlds reserve currency. It would remain so for another 150 years. Silver and paper fiat were the working man’s currency.

    In 1848 large deposits of gold was discovered in California and the gold rush began. In a decade the US civil war had begun. In 1884 large gold deposits were discovered in South Africa, and in a decade the Boer Wars had started. As Russia was developed, oil in Baku and gold were discovered. In 1905, the first attempted Judeo-Bolschevic putsch was attempted, and in 1917 succeeded.

    It can be argued that one of the main reasons that Judea was so horny for WWI was to maintain Rothschild Cabal’s control of money supply.

    It is often said that WWII was inevitable because Hitler refused to allow the Rothschild Cabal to control the German money supply and Central Bank.

    Today, Judea controls the US and the US dollar is the worlds reserve currency. It is unfathomable that the Rothschild Cabal would allow control of the money supply to slip out of their control without major repercussions, if not a world war, even a nuclear one.

    I don’t think that these Rabbis working with the King of the Jews for centuries for the final destruction and elimination of Rome are going to allow all their centuries of effort simply fail without some kind of far bigger plan.

    I do not profess to know what that plan is, especially since we cannot be certain that it is really the Rothschilds at the top of the pyramid. I can only guess as to why Israel wants to start a war between US/EU and Russia/China: Genocide.

These abominations directly lead to the creation of an 100% fiat dollar for the people in 1933 & then for governments in 1971. The dollar went up in value(purchasing power) for the previous century before 1913, it’s been downhill since then.

    If BRICS11 want to dethrone the dollar, all they would need to do is make their currencies directly convertible to gold/silver/copper. They know this but are attempting to fell the tree with complete control so to keep anyone from getting pounded after calling out “timber”.

    “America likes to think of itself in garlanded terms. The shining city on a hill. The indispensable nation. The land of the free. There’s something to each sobriquet, to be sure. But there’s another phrase, not 0always so flattering, that also applies to the United States: global empire.

    “To call America an empire is admittedly to court controversy or at least confusion. After all, the United States claims dominion over no countries and even prodded its allies to renounce their colonies. But there’s an illuminating precedent for the kind of imperial project the United States forged after the war: the Roman Empire.”

    https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/04/opinion/america-rome-empire.html

    Scholars when trying to alert Americans of the unfolding decline , still have to tip toe around fantasy,imaginations,and reality .
    Its the ‘ global empire’ that is real and appellations like – –Shining City, Indispensible nation ,or land of free are fantasies and imaginations.

    Labelling America as empire should not confuse anyone if we stick to the fact that empire serves one function and one function only –
    – grabbing and trasporting wealth from lands who are powerless to stop either physically or technologically,or by inventing different financial or econmic system . Often all of the above are deployed by the empire as it gets sophisticated .
    People can add other forces like soft power that come from Harvard,MIT, Hollywood,Golden gate ,Rushmore, Times Square at summer night or Peace Corps. Language,word,lexicon and phrasal inventories are added at its disposal ranging from
    Godless country to Anti LGBT Gas Station, or from deeply conservative pious islam to radical islam or islamofascism , from Illegal Enemy Combatant to Rule based World Order , With us or against us to diversity ,pluralism and universalism.

  35. BRICS multipolar banking model embracing multiple currencies

    is plain stupid. Not one of those currencies is worth anything intrinsically since they are all fiat. It’s this desire to hang on to the fraud of the world’s current monetary system that just might undo the overall goal of BRICS+. Considering that the ‘leaders’ of these nations are just as criminal as the ‘leaders’ of the G7, this comes as no surprise.

    The rumored gold backed BRICS currency didn’t happen and that indicates a severe problem in its leadership. Every country wants to use their colored toilet paper to buy real goods from the other members, assuming they will cheat the best. This is a recipe for disaster, a race to the bottom, especially when some of the new members are economic basket cases.

    The BRICS+ had better get their collective heads out of their asses and make gold and silver the medium of exchange, and do it in a hurry, before the entire enterprise unravels due to the profligacy every nation is used to operating under. Duplicating the failing system in this new enterprise is not the way to succeed.

    I have the same data from the IMF.

    In these data, between 1stQ 2000 and 1stQ 2023, the USD has dropped from 71.5% ot total allocated reserves to 59.0%, a loss of 17.5% of the market.

    There are two downturns in the USD time series, one staring in 2000 and the other starting in 2015, and the one started in 2015 has a faster rate.

    So a fall is taking place gradually, and the question is whether there is a threshold at which the gradual decline becomes a downward slope that causes a significant devaluation.

    Many things work like that in nature due to nonlinearities and feedback loops and a famous writer put it this way: How did you became bankrupt? Gradually first, then suddenly.

    A healthy USD as reserve currency would not decline in its market share, not even gradually, so your No is unwarranted.

    Well said, as long as their currencies [BRICS members] are not pegged to some kind of intrinsic value table, we are talking more of the same, bloat, and finance opacity here. Gold is not necessarily a measure of value, but it has some “hard” to it, …by lack of better, a step forward.

    There must be a single currency as a translation of resources minus liabilities for world trade to have any meaning. The rest is finance, a sort of rabbit pulling for grown children, a tool to distance the few from the rest.

    Another sore void is the BRICS not inventorying the West as to the above, assets minus liabilities, as to peg their place inside the table of inventory of the Planet.

    But what will happen to the American Empire is what the American Empire wanted to do to Russia. The American Empire thought they would pull the international finance rug out from under Russia and fragile Russia would collapse. But we now see that Russia was an inherently strong country with a strong and smart people who simply adapted, regrouped, and now helped developed a more equitable international economic system. And in doing so have created a system which will effectively pull the rug out from under the American Empire.

    The difference being that the American Empire’s actions were do out of malice to destroy Russia while the response to it and the emergence of BRICS wasn’t but rather a response to it and its effect will certainly be orders of magnitude more devastating.

He told me plenty of stories of the poverty that was everywhere, and that’s when Americans were stronger. I can’t imagine how these present day limp wristed citizens will react.

    That scenario would be the tell. If the rats suddenly begin deserting the “sinking ship”, it is not improbable that those powers about to be assaulted would employ some of their Kinzhals and similar hypersonic responses upon those hidden-holes, thus decapitating the primary enemies of collective humanity.

    WHY would the purported owners of the planet resort to suicidal conclusions when they have a long history of lying low and easing off the pressures in order to recover their status…even if that takes many decades?

    [MORE]

    Here is a recent article from Katyusha, an anti-vax, pro-family, pro-Russia, pro-Orthodox media project that is worth talking about. They believe that a certain group of ethnic immigration activists is behind the recent push for more migrants, effectively going against the interests and the will of the Russian people by pursuing such a policy. Here:

    Director of the “Tolerance Center” (initially a subsidiary of the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center) Anna Makarchuk expressed great concern after the proposal of the head of the Human Rights Council Valery Fadeev on migrants. Although the proposal was more than friendly to foreign specialists: Fadeev, as we previously told, proposed to adapt the children (including those not yet born, but planned) of workers from Central Asia to study and live in Russia at the expense of the state budget, by creating country of centers for preschool learning of the Russian language. According to Makarchuk, for a “high-quality cultural and interpersonal experience” it is unacceptable to impose demands on migrants and their offspring to know Russian. This, they say, greatly disadvantages our guests and interferes with their cultural enrichment of local residents. Glancing at the latest roundup of harassment, violence, drug trafficking carried out by Central Asians in the Russian Federation, one can only smile wryly. But Makarchuk clearly promotes the policy of replacing the indigenous population: she considers it necessary to bring a million multinationals into the country a year. It is surprising that such organizations retain such influence “at the top levels of power” in the realities of the Northern Military District and are still not recognized as foreign agents [by the state].

    Yes, it is curious indeed that a group that disproportionately controls the lion’s share of Russia’s economy, runs the media, runs the spook state and the Presidential Administration isn’t eager to recognize their ethnic tolerance activists as enemies of the state.

    Go figure.

    It can be seen from the essence of the proposal that the Government of the Russian Federation (in particular, the Ministry of Education, with which Fadeev agreed on everything) does not intend to stop the flow of migration, but quite the contrary. Fadeev really believes that these “foreign specialists” who are used as raiders who attack local residents, who beat our women with their feet, who masturbate on our children in our playgrounds should be affectionately accepted in Russia along with their offspring (many of whom openly hate Russians and create ethno-organized criminal groups already in schools). We considered this proposal not the most appropriate.

    However, the head of the Tolerance Center at the Jewish Museum of the same name, Anna Makarchuk, managed to find “infringement [on human rights]” in Fadeev’s initiative.

    “When the words “prohibit” and “migrants” are found in the same sentence, there is every reason to assume a situational increase in xenophobia and predict a slowdown in the adaptation process. … this measure draws a line between children on a specific basis: one knows the language, the second does not know it or knows it insufficiently … Both sides always benefit from a well-organized joint cultural, educational, interpersonal experience

    If the project proposed by the HRC is implemented without proper preparation, according to the director of the Tolerance Center, this may result in additional stress for children, threaten their safety and segregation,” Makarchuk said.

    What the Russian side gets from such a “joint cultural experience” with the Central Asians is obvious to everyone who is in the subject. But not for Mrs. Makarchuk. Here are some events in just the past couple of days: “In the Moscow region, a taxi driver from Tajikistan tried to rape a 15-year-old schoolgirl right in front of her 8-year-old sister” ( https://t.me/mnogonazi/12478 ), “Residents of the village of Malakhovka recorded an appeal to the head of Lyubertsy, Vladimir Volkov, who told about rapes, attacks on children and organized drug trafficking carried out by gangs of migrants” ( https://t.me/mnogonazi/12445 ), “For the sake of fun, migrants severely beat a 14-year-old FC goalkeeper” Rodina” in Odintsovo, returning from the match in the evening” ( https://t.me/mnogonazi/12503 ).

    The journalists who conducted the interview with Makarchuk, as if by chance, placed at the end of the material a significant note from the forge of Russophobia and liberal globalism – the Higher School of Economics:

    “Earlier, HSE researchers found that to maintain Russia’s population, it may need from 390 thousand to 1.1 million migrants per year

    .”

    Sounds familiar right, just like ZOG West.

    Therefore, the United States will never have to go bankrupt. However, for dollar holders the USG can accomplish the same result via inflation. And with $33 T of on the books debt, it likely will “default via inflation”.

    ZIRP IS OVER AND NOW THERE IS HELL TO PAY CHART

    The BRICS+ had better get their collective heads out of their asses and make gold and silver the medium of exchange, and do it in a hurry, before the entire enterprise unravels due to the profligacy every nation is used to operating under.

    The rumored gold backed BRICS currency didn’t happen and that indicates a severe problem in its leadership.

    And how are they going to do that?

    A gold backed currency means I can exchange it at any time for gold.

    Are all those poor countries going to have gold reserves?

    Or will Russia become the gold bank? In that case I’ll just buy up a cheap third world currency before the backing and then cash out the next day. Can’t wait.

    Nevermind that colonialism ended with WW2.

    Liberia was never colonized so I guess it must be the shining gem of Africa?

    I’m all for progress but a lot of the wishful thinking here is similar to liberalism. It’s heavily based in resentment and not genuine optimism.

    An increase in BRICs wealth will most likely lead to an increase in third world demand for iphones and Hollywood movies and not some doomsday scenario for the dollar.

    I’m all for criticizing the Fed and US debt but putting your hope in a Russian/Indian/Brazilian alliance to unseat the dollar is probably not such a great idea.

The BRICS were talking about a currency because they are all thieves at heart and want the ability to cheat and only a currency allow for cheating. No one can cheat when the bill says you owe X ounces of metal.

    Every country exports something that earns their producers an income. Each producer is then preyed upon by their gov’t to provide that useless group of thieves a portion of the profits by calling it a tax, a fee, a license, or some other made up term that makes thievery sound respectable to the morons in the society. Said gov’t can then take their ill gotten funds and purchase gold, silver, and many other things on the open market to use as actual money when dealing with their thieving counterparts in other nations.

  91. The Chinks Have Gotto Go QUANTITATIVE TIGHTENING Pronto!

    Global Debt-Based Fiat Currency Liquidity Electronically Conjured Up Out Of Thin Air Is The Only Thing Keeping Globalized Asset Bubbles Inflated.

    Powell and the Chinks — not the name of a punk band — have got to coordinate their monetary policies to pop the globalized asset bubbles.

    Jim Rickards says idea of dollar going dodo brings up the question of what the dollar is compared to in regards to other currencies and gold.

    I say Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Jay Powell hiked the federal funds rate to 5.25 percent on July 26, 2023 — and that Powell did that small hike to keep the BIG FAT UGLY ASSET BUBBLES in stocks and bonds and real estate bubbling like a bastard.

    Fed Chairman Jay Powell should use the six-ten-twenty federal funds rate hike system to implode the asset bubbles and extinguish inflation. Powell should hike to 6 percent federal funds rate and then pause for a day or so; after the slight pause Powell should raise to ten percent federal funds rate. Powell should then proceed to his bunker to escape the rage of the rancid billionaire scumbags and the White Upper Middle Class Snot Brats and the White geezers born before 1965 and then Powell should go FULL VOLCKER to TWENTY PERCENT FEDERAL FUNDS RATE.

    The dollar will go up against other currencies when Federal Reserve Bank Chairman Powell goes FULL VOLCKER to TWENTY PERCENT federal funds rate.

    So-called “White privilege” is a propaganda scam designed to stop Whites from advancing and defending their interests as Whites and “White privilege” is a fake phony fraud.

    “Dollar Privilege” is real and actionable and interference with it brings military death from above and gunboat diplomacy and sanctions to keep the delightful dollar as global reserve currency.

    The globalized Federal Reserve Bank uses dollar swaps and bond buying and mass liquidity creation schemes and the electronic creation of dollars and other things to keep the dollar party going.

    I would like to see the Federal Reserve Bank go FULL VOLCKER and raise the federal funds rate to twenty percent to extinguish inflation and to obliterate the asset bubbles in stocks, bonds and real estate.

    At twenty percent federal funds rate, dollar denominated debt financing will bring on BELLY UP scenarios for many nations and it would prop up the dollar and the claims of ODIOUS DEBT will be made by new governments that repudiated the debt contracted by toppled governments.

    “Everybody should read up on the economic history of Hitler’s Germany, pretty amazing (and frighteningly familiar) the methods he used to build Germany into an industrial and military power using imaginary money.”

    All money is imaginary in the sense that you are adding “value” to inanimate objects. Sitting in a vault, gold is useless unless two different people are willing to add value to it by using it to trade for goods and services. The same thing goes for paper currency. The only reason the American dollar is worth anything is because people the world over are willing to use it for trade. If people the world over were not willing to use the US dollar for trade tomorrow, it would cease to have any value and would be worth the same as WW2 Reichmarks or Confederate money today.

    The economic miracle of Nazi Germany is that they just came out with a new money that’s value wasn’t referenced to the amount of gold that Germany had stored in New York or London bank vaults, it was referenced to the economic output of the German worker and German industrial production. Countries such as Argentina were willing to trade grain or other raw materials for German finished goods without using the British pound (which was the world’s reserve currency then). It had value because people had faith in German industrial production.

    Today, money is produced out of thin air by the Bank of International Settlements (part of the IMF) and loaned at interest to most countries in the world at interest, any country could do this themselves but are too scared to stand up to the US, as they fear being crushed economically or it’s leaders assassinated. Brics is the first time since the time of Nazi Germany that a country or countries have stood up to create their own currency or currencies without loaning money from the IMF and indirectly the US. They are refusing to feed the beast and hence all the fuss in the western media about Putin and Xi.

    I agree as well; but wish to add that the “intellectual border” in need transgressing here has been hard-wired into the dissident right through our instinctive subsuming of libertarianism and its ‘Austrian’ economics.

    This old TakiMag article . . .

    https://www.takimag.com/article/in_search_of_lost_money_hargreaves_allen/

    . . . introduced me to a certain “inquiry into the sources of order and stability in capitalist systems” based on a rigorous solution to Mises’ presumably indissoluble Economic Calculation Problem.

    The article asserts that this solution to the calculation problem . . .

    . . . “gives rise to a solid ‘reference commodity’ i.e., a ‘currency’ that cannot be counterfeited, hidden, confiscated, hoarded, lost, misrepresented, or cornered because it is an abstraction that anyone can compute, on the basis of (1) a self-evident scientific premise, and (2) information of a sort that is publicly available now.”

    This realization of Keynes’ Bancor has apparently found welcome in Narendra Modi’s sentiments toward the Technocracy Movement; and is now part of the BRICS discussions regarding their new currency for international settlements:

    https://1drv.ms/b/s!Al1nit0q0GjqiURbOw6nqsNcYy-l?e=LRru9b

    Your assertion that “money [would be best thought of as] a simple yardstick of inventory” is incisive except for the word “simple”. Inventories contain commodities that can only be measured in terms of inherently incompatible units, e.g.: labor and capital. This is why we have “finance” and “money”.

    Creating a temporally consistent “yardstick” by which all commodities might be measured relative to one another in terms of their economic value would necessarily be the product of formal economic calculation – which has been called “the most complicated problem that actually has a solution”.

    The BRICS’ prospective Bancor should be more solid than silver or gold because silver and gold, being commodities themselves, have already been ‘hacked’ in the sense that reports as to their physical inventories come nowhere near adding-up to the paper demands on them.

    The inclusion of Saudi Arabia and the UAE “brings” to BRICS about 2,500 billion dollars of free capital that these two countries have. With China’s reserves of about 3,100 billion and what India and Russia can contribute, the developing world theoretically has over 7,000 billion dollars available for development. For the first time in two centuries, Western capital is not needed at all for development

    Because the West implements the policy of globalist imperialism of the oligarchy of financial capital (based primarily in the USA), BRICS is against the West. Not by choice, but by necessity. It is not possible to develop just relations without first suppressing aggressive globalist imperialism. And that is why BRICS is opposed to the West.

    In the Declaration of the BRICS summit in Johannesburg, there is opposition to any sanction that is not based on UN procedures.

    A historic event is an additional major step towards a world of greater justice and stable development, and thus an even stronger underlining that the West is a problem and an obstacle. Next year will be a turning point, but it is already clear that the BRICS policy is definitely winning.

There have been a few describing how youth in Russia are fleeing to avoid being thrown to the front and certain death, while others assure me that China is abandoning Russia. On and on these propaganda videos emerge, but why here in the West? I imagine the Biden regime would like to attract a few “Soldier of Fortune” types to sign up with Ukraine to be paid fighters, or perhaps hoping inquisitive Russians who want to know what Westerners are reading about the conflict to be informed that Russia actually losing, but it’s more than that.

    The counter offensive has not been successful, has led to disproportionate Ukranian deaths, and has given Russia more chances at practicing against a few of the West’s weapons so they have experience against those weapons if they ever face NATO in battle. We are openly allowing lies about the War in Ukraine to reach our populace. This makes my trust in my country even less than it already is.

    I’m afraid our powers-that-be are literally going to be willing to fight a World War to save the petrodollar. No amount of being wrong seems to dissuade them of their course.

The US has been bullying the world for decades and it’s payback time.

    This is also why any new lender has to deal in an absolute money like gold and silver and possibly barter goods like oil, copper, lithium, as money equivalents under the right conditions. If they stick to their national currency nonsense the whole thing will fall apart.

    Iran recently made a deal, I believe with China but I’m not sure, where the contractual payment is oil. It’s possible to barter other goods but they become more problematic since the ones I’m thinking of, grains, food, live stock, etc, rot with time and conditions.

    As a start up, the BRICS, etc should accept reasonable barter as money equivalents country to country to allow the weaker nations to build up ‘money’ stores that I expect to ultimately be gold and silver, since that’s been money for thousands of years and has at least the intrinsic value of the time money and effort it took to get them out of the ground, unlike the bullshit crypto nonsense or gov’t fiat.

    Actually, should the Chinese come to wield global power in the same way that the US has since the second world war or thereabouts, I don’t think that, at this point, we have any good idea of how benign their “rule” might be.

    Actually, unless jews are running China (which is apparently not the case), I think it’s safe to say that the hypothetical “Chinese (world) rule” would be far more benign than that of “the US.”

    An exchange system based on a basket of commodities from which all currencies are measured could work. Such an arrangement would indirectly force nations to carefully manage their monetary policy, without any demands or direct intervention like the European Central Bank for example. They’d better get something like this up and running soon.

    This certainly completes your point of view. Thanks.

    One more thing, connected to your view that ‘intrinsic value’ money is necessary.

    We have now a fiat currency system for reseves and international settlements centrally controlled by a monopolist gradually losing market share and becoming an oligopolist.

    The current system may evolve into

    (i) an intrinsic value (non-fiat) money, as you claim it is necessary for a sustainable re-configuration

    OR

    (ii) a free market of fiat currencies where every country save reserves in multiple fiat currencies in proportions to the need to purchase things+services denominated in each fiat currency.

    The various recent arrangements between nations to trade in their respective fiat currencies seem to indicate that alternative (ii) is the most natural way forward.

    Note that under (ii) fiat currencies would be supported by trade balances, which is kind of a physical support for fiat currencies.

    So I’d like to learn what are your views regarding a free international market of fiat currencies as an alternative configuration to having intrinsic value money for international trade.

    •�Replies: @RoatanBill
  124. @Levtraro

    Your (ii) is a race to the bottom and an invitation for trouble between trading partners. Russia has already figured out that Indian Rupee aren’t something it wants to hold as part of oil trade simply because Rupee doesn’t buy what Russia wants / needs. It’s the realization that real ‘money’, gold and silver, were universally declared as the medium of exchange precisely because they are universally known to buy anything and everything.

    It’s the fiction of ‘currency’ that needs to disappear, since it’s just the gov’t and bankers mechanism to cheat everyone else and when it’s those criminals dealing with each other, they also realize the inherent fraud they are confronting. I can understand using the hook of ‘national currencies’ to get the marks into the game to swell the ranks of the new hegemon wannabe, but it’s not sustainable. At some point, real value must be traded, not the lie of a colored piece of paper or digital equivalent actually being worth something.

    The only reason fiat was ever invented was to cheat the citizenry of the country’s central bank; the bankers and politicians against the people. It allows the political class to run deficit after deficit until we arrive at where we are now, trillions in the hole and no way out. To structure a new and improved system on the same fraud the old one is failing from means the people involved are criminals that just want to be the new hegemon in a power struggle.

    So far, I see BRICS, etc as just another scam because they refuse to remove the fraud known as currency out of their deliberations. It’s only when gold and silver, not currency backed by gold and silver which is always a lie, are used as settlement that things get honest. It’s when you have to fly a weight of metal to settle a debt that honesty in trade relations is established and that moves the world closer to world peace.

    Having the entire concept of ‘currency’ disappear and using the weight of metal for all ‘prices’ used world wide would mean there’s no arbitrage between currencies since they don’t exist, no seigniorage which is just a theft euphemism, no fractional reserve banking, etc world wide. Everything is priced in G:S:C units of gold, silver and copper to form the basis for honest dealings between peoples and nations.

  138. @Ivymike

    A technologically developing society will have a deflationary economy: since the productivity increases with technological advances (all advances can be measured through the connected increase in productivity), the same quantity of money should increasingly buy more quantity of goods and services. Therefore, debtors will be at a disadvantage.

    There are two ways this could be addressed: by reducing the interest rate, and by debasing the currency. But the interest rates cannot be reduced below zero without causing social turmoil. The only other option is to debase the currency.

    An inflationary currency is unavoidable in a technologically developing economy.

    The ideal measure for currency would be an indestructible material that is comparatively rare and completely useless for any practical purposes. Gold is almost indestructible, and nearly useless for practical purposes (except jewelry and a few industrial purposes).

    It does seem to be heading in that direction and “the leader of the free world” is not in control of the crazies in his Administration so what was unthinkable in February 2022 is not unthinkable in September 2023. Blinken, Sullivan, and especially the odious Vicky Nuland are dangerous enough but they have plenty of company on both sides of the aisle.

    To mention one of many in that camp I think Mitt Romney’s statement just a few weeks ago regarding what a great “investment” the United States has made in funding the destruction of Ukraine is a good, but not unique example.

    Given the known suffering endured by the average citizen of Ukraine the statement is incredibly callous and inhumane. But yet, no condemnation, even mild, from mainstream media or the Biden Administration. Zero from AOC or Bernie Sanders, etc.
