    Lots of drinking in the evenings. Makes networking easier. Like everywhere else where supervillains and regular folks meet.

    These countries are rejecting the proposition that they are subordinate to a "rules based international order" dominated and dictated by the North Atlantic globalist elites. The plans of the WEF crowd are failing in spectacular worldwide fashion here for all to see.


    "Preparing To Apply For Membership" - Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Egypt Plan To Join BRICS

    BRICS is the acronym coined over two decades ago that is associated with five major emerging markets: Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. BRICS members account for over 40% of the global population and nearly a quarter of global GDP. The expansion of BRICS could be imminent as Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt are in discussions to join the group of emerging market economies.

    "All these countries [Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt] have shown their interest in joining [BRICS] and are preparing to apply for membership. I believe this is a good step, because expansion is always looked upon favorably, it will definitely bolster BRICS' global influence," BRICS International Forum President Purnima Anand told Russian newspaper Izvestia.

    In May, Chinese President Xi Jinping said BRICS members have to "reject Cold War mentality and bloc confrontation, and work together to build a global community of security for all."

    "I hope that these countries will join the BRICS quite shortly, as all the representatives of core members are interested in expansion. So it will come very soon," Anand added.

    None of the BRICS leaders have publicly condemned Russian President Putin for his invasion of Ukraine earlier this year.

    Huang Yanzhong, a senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations, recently told Al Jazeera that BRICS is a "kind of diplomatic counteroffensive by China to both the revival of NATO and the increase in Indo-Pacific mechanisms that are designed to keep its power in check."

    The announcement comes when President Biden is scheduled to meet with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) without Saudi King Salman present. We correctly pointed out that Saudi Arabia's intention to join BRICS would be announced ahead of the Biden and MbS meeting.

    The future and what appears to be an imminent expansion of BRICS is more evidence the world is transitioning into a multi-polar world that will challenge the US' dollar-based system for global trade.​

    Axis of Evil

    Please stop acting like these guys are on the right side of history. Most of these countries are run by evil people - far more evil than the "supervillains" you claim are running the West.

    They are evil, you are right about that much. But they are not more evil than the crew at the WEF or the malicious, corrupt, incompetent buffoons who are in charge of running the nations of the west. On that point, you are definitely wrong.

    Last I checked, Western governments hadn't had Kashoggi butchered in an embassy, not murdered, raped, bombed a neigbor country's population like Putin is doing with Ukraine, incarcerated more journalists than anyone else like Erdogan, etc. etc. etc.

    The agendas that your people are championing have caused immense suffering to hundreds of millions of people around the world and are on track to cause even worse in the months and years to come. You talk about the death of one person. That is bad. But now the world is on course to see famine unlike we have seen in a very long time, and their unwillingness to allow the negotiation of peace in Ukraine, along with the unprecedentedly aggressive and thoughtless sanctions against Russia - which are backfiring and causing more harm to the west than they are to Russia by the way - are largely to blame.

    This climate change obsession and the un-agreed to agenda to rapidly start shutting down fossil fuel energy exploration, development, transportation and usage by a wide range of insidious policies is causing tremendous harm and suffering among the lower and working classes, who you people clearly regard as ants to be stepped on.

    Also, the imposition of mandates banning the use of popular fertilizers has devastated the economies of Sri Lanka and Ghana, and farmers in the Netherlands and elsewhere are rioting quite aggressively at these life destroying measures. But you have yours, so F them, right? There are more such mandates in the process of being imposed in different countries, of course. And the WEF thinks this is essentially important to keep moving ahead with these sorts of diabolical programs.

    And let's not forget about the horrendous harm cause by the ridiculously counterproductive and tyrannical overreaction to the (genetically engineered) coronavirus, which your people clearly regard as a big disappointment that MUCH more harm and suffering was not caused, as this was supposed to have been the world altering justification for the WEF championed and coordinated "Great Reset" and Build Back Better" agendas. The people of the earth are mostly moving on and adapting in response to these horrors that you people have perpetrated on humanity, with more clearly queued up and ready to go. While this monkey-pox situation appears to have been a relative dud, at least so far, it does appear that this virus was genetically modified and engineered in a lab also, by the way.

    You people. You are so much worse than the Saudi's, or the Iranians, or the Russians or the Chinese, it is not anywhere close to being a close call.

    Just to provide some context here for the post that I am going to make below, let's review the historical context of the events leading up to the current conflict between the North Atlantic globalist elites and the Russians, as it stands today.

    The Russians had suffered several historically horrendous invasions from Europe going back to the 1800s, not to mention many other significant wars and conflicts in addition to those events going back further than that. Just because our history only goes back 250 years, it does not follow that this is the case for many other countries.

    Napoleon invaded Russia in 1812 and actually took Moscow, before being turned back and ultimately defeated. The Russians used a literal scorched earth strategy and burned out the fields, resources and cities along the way, evacuating the people and leaving the French army with basically nothing. Between the damage caused by the scorched earth policy and the damage caused by the French army, it would be difficult to overstate the degree of the devastation on Russia and the Russian people. It was a remarkable, even a key moment in world history. The Russians should certainly never forget it and for that matter, neither should we, especially when evaluating the Russian resolve to defend their territory or their perspective on potential threats to that territory.

    In 1939s, the Germans invaded Poland in connection with what was supposed to be a peaceful agreement with the Soviet Union to partition that nation into two parts, with the Soviets taking the other part. The Germans ultimately reneged on that agreement and in 1941 turned their guns on Russia, opening up the Eastern front, where the most horrible scenes of the European segment of WWII surely occurred. The Germans, in need of oil to fuel their war machine, made a move to towards the rich Caspian sea oil fields, moving their troops through modern Ukraine to try to get there. The Russians stopped the Germans at Stalingrad, which is located on the other side of Ukraine from Germany, in what was surely the deadliest battle of WWII and very possibly the deadliest battle in all of human history, with an estimated 2 million dead by some estimates. The Russian victory at Stalingrad was the beginning of the end for the Germans, with the very important Normandy invasion following later.

    After WWII, the cold war began and the Warsaw pact countries formed a critical buffer from the Soviet perspective against further attacks and invasions from the Europeans. However, the most important country in the Soviet Union aside from Russia, was clearly Ukraine. It was obvious why that was, as Ukraine was the breadbasket of the Soviet Union - they were substantially dependent on Ukrainian agriculture to be able to feed their people. This made the security of this nation from a Soviet perspective an existential issue. The Soviets communicated this clearly with the West through the UN, through diplomatic and military channels, and at no point did they ever vacillate or become unclear about this. We understood and agreements were offered to respect these boundaries. Agreements that were later broken in form in 2008, and then later in substance during the early 2010s under the leadership of the USA, just like the partition agreement between the Germans and the Soviets had been broken by the Germans during the early days of WWII. Russia responded by invading and annexing Crimea.

    In 2020, the North Atlantic nations made overtures to Ukraine inviting them to join NATO. At the same time, the president of Ukraine was assisted by the West, especially the United States, in militarily attacking the Eastern portion of Ukraine, which is heavily dominated by Russians. A law was passed outlawing the use of the Russian language in schools and other offensive actions were taken.

    This was all done under the profoundly arrogant and wrong presumption that because the Soviet Union had fallen in the early 1990's, the world is now ruled by a "rules based international order," the "rules" for which are dictated by the North Atlantic globalist elites, although they clearly regard themselves as exempt from complying with these same rules. This was an idea which was unilaterally invented out of whole cloth by the North Atlantic globalist elites and agreed to by the Russians, The Chinese, the Indians, the Africans, the Muslims, and the other nations of the world - never.

    When Russia invaded Ukraine, the North Atlantic globalist elites were all prepared and ready to go - with a comprehensive and coordinated financial, diplomatic and economic blitzkrieg campaign against Russia, the likes of which the world has never seen. The purpose was to financially annihilate Russia and the Russian people, forcing them to come to heal and to submit to the dictates of the North Atlantic and WEF supported "rules based international order". After the initial imposition of these sanctions and other measures, these arrogant asses were strutting around, boasting and spiking he proverbial football, with the same sort of misguided and arrogant self confidence as their predecessors, including both Herr Hitler and Napoleon in previous generations. These people are apparently not very smart.

    So after the sanctions, Russia took actions to shore up their currency and to respond to this economic declaration of war in kind. Nobody who was involved in the imposition of those sanctions and other measures, who is not stupid, will have been surprised by that.

    But they were surprised. They were apparently hugely surprised to discover that basically only the North Atlantic nations (plus Australia, New Zealand and Japan) aligned with them in recognizing and supporting this "rules based international order". Considering this idea has not been formally agreed to and is in fact just a popular talking point in the imaginations of the people attending conferences and meetings among the North Atlantic nations, including of course the World Economic Forum (WEF), it was really quite stupid to imagine that their plan was going to succeed here, as it was dependent on most of the rest of the nations of the world aligning themselves with these self adoring fantasies. Instead, the very opposite has happened and the vast majority of humanity has begun aligning in a way that will enable the permanent and more efficient circumvention of these midwit arrogant incompetent assholes from now on.

    So today, July 17, 2022, the economic blitzkrieg that the WEF and the North Atlantic globalist elites have initiated against Russia, with the football spiking and premature public victorious strutting already on the record by these people, appears to have officially entered the Stalingrad phase of this conflict. Today Russia has sent notice to the Germans that all gas has been cut off to Eurpope, legally, under the contract provisions of 'Force Majure'.

    Gazprom Reportedly Declares Force Majeure, Will Halt Gas Flows To Germany Indefinitely

    Russia’s Gazprom has declared force majeure on gas supplies to Europe to at least one major customer, according to the letter from Gazprom dated July 14 and seen by Reuters on Monday. The letter said Gazprom, which has a monopoly on Russian gas exports by pipeline, could not fulfil its supply obligations owing to “extraordinary” circumstances outside its control.

    It said the force majeure measure, a clause invoked when a business is hit by something beyond its control, was effective from deliveries starting from June 14. A trading source said the letter concerned supplies through the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, a major supply route to Germany and beyond. Gazprom had no immediate comment.

    The measure will likely escalate tensions between Russia and the West over the Russian invasion of Ukraine, action Moscow calls a “special military operation”.

    The European Union, which has imposed sanctions on Moscow, aims to stop using Russian fossil fuels by 2027 but wants to supplies to continue for now as it shifts away from Russian supplies. Russian gas supplies have dropped via major routes, including via Ukraine and Belarus and through Nord Stream 1 under the Baltic Sea. Nord Stream 1 is currently undergoing maintenance.

    With this move, the Russians have taken this war between the West and Russia to the next level. Vladimir Putin has the Germans and therefore the Europeans by the economic balls. Remember Stalingrad from WWII.

    These WEF know-it-alls are world class, colossal F__-ups. They are experts at causing truly devastating harm to the people of the Earth. They are not smart. They do not know what they are doing. These are not trustworthy people, unless the devastation of humanity is your desired objective.

    Regardless of which is more evil, Isn't BRICS IF just another globalist organization like the WEF cabal? Wouldn't they just seek to supplant the Western rules-based order with a BRICS rules-based order? Doesn't this multi-national power center undermine national sovereignties just like the current multi-national power center does? I can understand and even sympathize with the idea that the US and Europe are engaging in a sort of immoral neocolonialist multi-national conspiracy by enforcing a system of "international cooperation" at the expense of the autonomy of individual nations. I cannot understand saying that multi-national conspiracies to bend other countries to your will is actually okay just so long as it isn't our own country that's doing it. If BRICS leaders aren't today as evil as WEF leaders (somehow), they probably will be later.

    First, the idea of a unipolar "rule based international order," of the sort that the North Atlantic globalist elites are frantically trying to prop up by punishing nations around the world into cooperating with their sanctions against Russia, is just a fantasy. It does not actually exist. It never has.

    Second, with that in mind, no, the BRICS countries are just trying to be able to trade and cooperate with each other in ways that are independent of this imaginary "rules based international order," which the North Atlantic globalist elites are obsessed with trying to ram down the throats of the nations of the rest of the world. Of course they should be able to do that.

    All my adult life, I have pretty diligently followed geopolitics, international economics and global affairs. All my adult life, I have regarded the current arrangements between nations to be just that - many nations all negotiating and competing with each other, economically, militarily, ideologically, etc. The United States is my home country. I was born here. So I have tended to root for the US to be at the top of the league tables in all of these areas, and in any area. That is an inherently multipolar view of the world and I am confident that it is shared by the vast majority of people on earth who think about such things.

    It has never been an aspirational goal of any people I would regard as sane to have one nation or a small group of nations dominate a unipolar world order, with them setting and dictating the rules, but of course being exempt from following those rules themselves, as is the conception of this current group of megalomaniacal control freaks that constitute the WEF centered, North Atlantic globalist elites and their followers. But that does very clearly appear to be the aspiration of this group.

    If there is another nation or group of nations that comes along later and is in a position to try to impose itself over humanity in a similar way, of course that group should be opposed as well. The BRICS nations are nowhere close to being able to even articulate such a share vision, much less try to implement it. Not economically, not militarily, not culturally or diplomatically.

    The really good news is it appears increasingly clear that the North Atlantic globalist elites are not up to the task either, although they do appear to be eager to impose any amount of devastation and suffering on humanity in their desperate effort to to try to fulfill this despicable and perhaps even psychopathically selfish obsession.

    Add the farmers in the Netherlands in there as well, with more of these same exact sorts of unnecessary catastrophes queued up and on the way.

    Saudi Arabia.... Turkey and Egypt.

    Those are three countries I would really not be associated with.

    @MojoMan I was with "my people" at the epicenter of evil supervillains in NYC yesterday. Will post some triggering photos later.
