This week I was asked to join Renmin University's Qinduo Xu and the good folks at Press TV's Economic Divide where we discussed the emerging new China-led financial architecture, how it is tied to the BRICS+, SCO, and the oncoming petro Yuan. How does this new emerging financial system differ from the sort of behavior that has become hegemonic under the Wall Street-London axis and should the patriots of the USA see this as a threat or opportunity?
With the behavior of the CCP/China...Definite THREAT. But, THAT is what it's PLANNED TO BE BY THE Techno-Feudal Nazis at the Basel Bank of International Settlements in league the Rothschild's Central Banks and all the Banker/Corporatist Cabal in their Organized Crime, isn't it? Crashing the dollar to implement their Digital Currency to implement SLAVERY through constant surveillance and 'Social Credit Systems' to reinforce and punish those they are delusional to classify 'THEIR HUMAN HERD' is the name of the game, Hm-m?
No doubt about getting the Concentration/Re-Education Camps RE-IMAGINED 'Smart/15 Minute Cities' INFRASTRUCTURE ALL BUILT as is all the rage among the New Age Nazis...To CONTAIN/CONTROL THE SLAVE MASSES BEING HERDED FROM THE SOUTH TO THE NORTH AS SO MUCH CATTLE AT U.S. Taxpayer Expense? Just ask Georgie Boy with all his NGO's WITH LAUNDERED U.S. FUNDING...And, Anti-Pope of St. Gallen residing at the Vatican.
Great commentary Matt as ever. I’m happy to hear this as it leaves the CBDC kicked to the curb. China removing power from the Anglo-American globalists and returning to gold backed currency rather than a game manipulated by the elite to take it all can only be good for the world. We will regain our sovereignty and the reset of the GCR that we want and not The Great Reset of the WEF making us all slaves. Yay!
Just my personal observations in this monumental jigsaw puzzle… what’s happening in Brazil and LatAm is another a huge call for Uncle $am, and is also existential for the entire western model of neocolonialism.
Looking at the WB 2021 population figures helps to bring into context just how vital this situation really is…
USA 331 million
EU 447 million
Latam 621 million…
Canada 38 million
LatAm in terms of population is very close to double that of the US, 1.38x that of the EU, and a massive 16x that of Canada. Brazil itself is the 6th most populous country on earth.
In terms of combined natural resources, LatAm makes the US look like a very poor cousin. This lunatic pretty much sums up the U$ position.
The US has taken it for granted that LatAm is their historical, playground which they can pillage to their heart’s content. Of course, the U$ is literally shitting BRIICs over Lula gaining the presidency and uniting LatAm to challenge their hegemony.
The truly enormous combined energy resources of Venezuela, Cuba and Haiti (some of them quite recently discovered) make this situation even more dangerous than ever before.
This situation is existential now for the Monroe Doctrine… the U$ knows that if Lula survives this means the end of their pillaging of the entire LatAm bloc.
I honestly don’t think Lula cares too much anymore about his own personal survival, other than he hopes to finish the work he started 20 years ago in his two earlier Presidential terms. I assume that’s why Lula rode in an open car on inauguration day… such a powerful signal to humanity that he has no personal fear of the western oligarchy.
Trump supporters around the world basically all automatically took a default position of supporting Bolsonaro without doing their homework. As such they have massively increased the danger for Lula and for a feasible and concerted challenge by LatAm to the US hegemon.
How very sad that so many could miss the potential repeat of what happened to Gaddafi… especially since as a person Lula is on a completely different level, and enjoys huge respect from virtually every leader on earth apart of course from the Natostan bloc.
One of the better explanations of the historical background leading up to Lula regaining the presidency is contained in this interview of Brian Meir by Ben Norton.
Goodness, me… I started making notes on this interview of the key points… but arguably the whole thing IMO is made up of highlights.
Perhaps the key to much of this lies in what 18th-century economists Friedrich List and Alexander Hamilton advocated as sovereign development economic policies.
Far from being anything new, these models were given a new lease of life when the term was coined – Import Substitution Industrialisation (ISI).
This trade and economic policy advocates replacing foreign imports with domestic production. This is the crucial part of Lula’s vision just as it was in his first two terms as President.
By contrast, Bolsonaro’s policies were a continuation of his predecessor MichelTemer, and were complete neoliberalism based on an expert-orientated model, not on value-added exports, but on exporting raw materials. The very essence of the neoliberal/Monroe Doctrine policies that the West has imposed on Latin America is to try to keep these countries dependent on foreign markets for imports.
Perhaps this quote from one of Lula’s speeches best sums all of this up in one simple sentence…
“We need to rescue the model of state institutions, public banks, and state-owned companies in the development of this country.”
Also…
” Brazil is too big to renounce its productive potential. It makes no sense to import fuels, fertilisers, oil platforms, aircraft and satellites. We have sufficient technical capacity and market to resume industrialisation.”
This is the complete opposite of Bolsonoro’s blatant neoliberal agenda and those of his Chicago Boys indoctrinated economic minister.
Another important point is that Lula’s WP Workers Party needs to be differentiated from the fake left parties of so many western countries including “our own” (sic) Labour party here in NZ.
Lula’s vision is a social democratic model with a structure that gives much more grassroots control over social policies. The point here is that if much of this power can be turned over into the hands of voluntary people’s groups then central Govt power can be greatly reduced… hence the welcome corollary, the reduction of both state Govt size and its power.
At the 38-minute mark, they discussed how Bolsonaro paved the way for Petrobras to sell 8 refineries and gas station chains to private ownership including BlackRock. Basically, Bolsonaro shut down these refineries only to ship oil up to the US for refining so it then had to be repurchased as refined gasoline and shipped all the way back to Brazil!
Perhaps one of the most revealing actions of Bolsonaro, which illustrates his true nature, is the fact that he fled in a panic to Florida when he realised that his coup had come unstuck. He was being summoned by police for questioning on his numerous criminal acts whilst in power, and leading up to the election.
Arguably one of the most telling and symbolic acts was that during the inauguration Lula flew the Mercosur Flag right next to the Brazilian flag. This signalled his commitment to reviving integration and cooperation in South America, especially the four founding members, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay.
What a change from the blatant neoliberal shill Bolsonoro who loved flying the US and Israeli flags next to the Brazilian one at important events.
Perhaps the worst aspect of Bolsonaro was his outrageously dishonest and hypocritical habit of trying to pass himself off as working for the people… IMO nothing could be further from the truth.
If I had to summarise in a single sentence I would say that most of the global confusion, and not just within the US and Brazil, is from the massive overlap of Neoliberalism and Neoconservatism, and hence the old left and right paradigms.
The confusion is even more profound in the US because the Demos were never the genuine left (just as their blue party livery suggests). They were always fake left. This is the problem, just as it is here in NZ, both the left and the right now carry water for the WEF and the Corporatocracy.
The true grassroots centre right that works for Mainstreet and national sovereignty is becoming exceedingly rare, especially in LatAm
The qualities of leaders like Lula need to be interpreted in terms of actions and achievements rather than using assumptions and perceptions of how they fit into these old paradigms.
That was the mistake that both Amy Benjamin and Chantelle Baker made here in NZ… they simply swallowed the MSM/CIA memes put around that Lula was dangerously far-left and neoliberal. In fact, he is a direct challenge to both Neoliberals and Neocons… as such he and his presidency is in huge danger.
Personally, I believe it will be a miracle if Lula sees 2023 out as President. People like JFK and Gaddafi, and now Lula, who take on the money changers, tend to have appalling short tenure and life expectancies.
These huge forces are trying to destroy him because he challenges the western colonial oligarchs more than any leader on earth, with the possible exception of Putin.
If we want to help the emergence of an effective multipolar world and put an end to neo-colonialism then we also need to try to put an end to this confusion… otherwise, we simply carry water for the Klaus Slobs of this world, his comrades, and of course the existing financial oligarchy.
