To understand the shifting sands of global power with regard to the rise of BRICS you can search this site or look for the tag "BRICS" going back several years. The last post I made on this topic reflected some dramatic changes and is essential reading since the implications are tremendous and must be appreciated for what they are.
The inclusion of Turkey is just as significant, not for economic reasons but for geographical and military reasons. Turkey has the second largest standing army in NATO after the US and houses some of the US nuclear weapons. Turkey has been a NATO anchor and its trusted role regarding strategic weapons positioning has always been a factor since the drama of the Cuban missile crises where Turkey played a major role. Since the defeat of NATO in the Ukraine proxy war in which the West has been waging against Russia, many have predicted the beginning of the end of the trans-Atlantic alliance, and this move surely signals that this is a reality that the next decade may present. Furthermore, the potential for Turkey to host future Russian oil pipelines also gets a boost if European demand ever returns to Russia and soon the nation could be holding the EU hostage with its finger on both energy and refugee flow providing tremendous geopolitical leverage.
In terms of geopolitics there has been transformational change coming so quickly that it's difficult to assess the full implications, but once the dust settles, we will be very cognoscente of the fact that the Anglo-American dominated international climate is a totally different place where nothing is the way it used to be. The emerging powers of BRICS, lead by Russia, China, India and a host of new additions are determined to change the flavor of the "Rules Based Order"(a euphemism for US hegemony characterized by bullying, lies and a general lack of respect for the sovereignty of nations and the wellbeing of their citizens). So far, the evidence shows that nations of the Global South and Middle East consider the diplomacy, basic manners and respects shown by the new power center to be a far more appealing option.
2) The Demise of the Petrodollar
In the next few days, the Petrodollar is up for renewal by the Saudis. All signs point towards them not renewing it. Here Here is a quick outline of the Petrodollar nuts and bolts along with a great little synopsis of its history. The reasons in their entirety are complex but simply put Saudi Arabia has moved into the BRICS sphere of influence and faced with the rise of other currencies being used for foreign trade it makes no sense to tie into one currency and only sell in USD. Also, China has a 1.4 billion population, its growth prospects are tremendous, as are Indias. Russia and Saudi Arabia can also work together to corner the global oil market, making OPEC somewhat redundant, and Russia has already stepped out of the dollar system, the nation has pioneered an oil for gold and oil for Rubles program using its own hydrocarbon reserves to protect its economy from US sanctions. For more on the Petrodollar you can click the "Petrodollar" tag or enter the word in the search bar.
The drop in dollar demand is going to impact hugely on the US economy and affect the ability of the Anglo-American establishment to export inflation through the oil price in USD to the Global South. Strap yourself in, we could be in for a bumpy ride!
This outstanding synopsis was put out by Michael Rivero himself on his radio show a few years back and put to video by Zane Henry Productions for those that require some visual cues that are quite well done. Michaels website comes highly recomended: http://www.whatreallyhappened.com/#axzz5hyle9j3Y
If I could make one video compulsary viewing it would be this one.
There are one or two minor points of contention I have factually, but this synopsis is so insightful, grasps the context of which fits into which so well, that it would feel like splitting hairs to bring them up now. I'll go over them on a later post.
Never before have I heard someone explain the true connection between central banks, war, the petrodollar, the national debt and climate change so brilliantly and so succintly before. He does this monumental task in 40 minutes and does it well.
What is globalization?A complex system of interacting factors.
What is globalization? It's the opposite of the global village where we all communicate for next to no cost, share information and eradicate poverty in a near Utopian state of being civilized. Globalization is what used to known as Rothschild Zionism, or colonialism in the name of the crown, which was owned by Rothschild but due to anti Semitic religious attitudes at the time, colonialism was the palatable smokescreen that the local British population would culturally tolerate. Indigenous populations at the time had no votes so they were victims of genocide.
We got enslavement rather than becoming civilized, because as we globalized, power was centralized and controlled by fewer and fewer.
It's a complex system, and hard to find coherent engineering unless you understand that the few consistent principles applied only as loose co-operation, by mandate of international institution policy or, when things don't go as planned, by intervention by those at the very top of the pyramid.
Unless you understand this MO it all appears to complex, to much "conspiracy" and not enough "Occams Razor". Once you understand that major global institutions were set up to service this agenda you realize it requires no engineering. The system runs itself. The establishment is established.
Lets deconstruct: Who is really benifitting and who is losing out?
What else is globalization? It's not a natural outcome of modern living in a shrinking finite environment. Contrary to popular belief, It's actually the opposite of the "Global Village" we were sold. You know, the global village where we all communicate for next to no cost, have freedom, liberty and dignity and share information freely. Where we eradicate poverty for once and for all in a near Utopian state of being civilized.
On the other hand, "Globalization" is what used to be known as Rothschild Zionism (the opposite of Judaism), or its front name once used by the old Rothschild's employees like Cecil John Rhodes, JP Morgan, Paul Warburg and even Lenin, It was often sold as colonialism in the name of the crown, the Crown was basically financed by Rothschild but due to anti Semitic religious attitudes at the time Colonialism was the palatable smokescreen that the local British population would culturally tolerate. Indigenous populations at the time had no votes so they were victims of genocide.
I have news for you. We got shortchanged. We got an imperceptibly slow process of (again, at the risk of sounding dramatic) enslavement rolled out rather than becoming civilized, because as we globalized, power was centralized and controlled by fewer and fewer. It;s getting to the critical point where we all begin to notice the pressure cooker beginning to peak. That's all of us, not just the citizens of the already fallen cities, such as Detroit.
I use certain principles to predict the outcome of geopolitical and economic affairs all the time, and if you ask anyone that knows me you'll find I almost never get it wrong, no matter how absurd and sensational my calls are when shit goes down initially.
For a crude guide, the principles that underpin globalization are:
2) Divide & Conquer featured as the angle of choice in media. Black/White
Democrat/Republican Muslim/Jew Russia/West you name it
This Rhetoric smokescreens the real enemy, so to speak, and can be defined simply as those that take away from the vast majority that have so little and where a case can be made for such interests causing
mass death and suffering to the vast majority where the financially disenfranchised cant exclude it, arguably in exchange for greed, since they have so much already.
3) Central Bankster Economic smoke and mirrors: Sell Price fixing as free market. Pass Crony Capitalism as Free Market Capitalism: The Petro-dollar: Trade oil in dollars. Have international trade in dollar hegemony. Link the major global currencies to the dollar, then once achieved, in an act of violation of the good faith agreement, ambush the world remove the dollar from a check and balance system. This happened in 1971
When Bretton Woods removed the gold standard. The Fed now peddles a fiat system that achieves devaluation Keynesian style and use a trickle down wall street mantra of fiat money printing, QE and other devices which will, by design keep the money from the peasants.
4) Globalization of War and Perpetual War: Remove the populations money via taxation and send to a seemingly justifiable military cause. Finance arms via military industrial complex linked blue chip companies. Subjugate nations militarily that resist the agenda.
5) Use Technology to spy, manipulate markets and search engines, media and craft public public sentiment or zeitgeist
6) Globalization Of Agriculture. Same Multinationals from Oil, Media and Banking Shareholder arrangements to control the worlds food supply rather than feed the world. Control Water and Land resources.
7) Boost lobby, in particular the BIg Pharma lobby, for complex reason.
8) Destroy entrepreneurs in favour of creating employees, destroy unions and labor bargaining power Privatize Prisons and maximise the minority population behind bars paid for by public tax earning profit for Prison Inc, eliminate mom and pop operations and get big Multinationals to franchise disenfranchisement. Gene patent farming to eliminate family owned farms so that Monsanto types can turn them into employees, ultimately earning minimum wage, like peasants. Feudalistic method.
The principles that underpin globalisation are:
1) Own the media http://dwahts.blogspot.co.za/2015/09/the-slippery-slope-how-big.html
2) Divide and conquer featured as the angle of choice in media. Black/White
Democrat/Republican Muslim/Jew Russia/West you name it
This Rhetoric smokescreens the real enemy, so to speak, that means those that take away from the vast majority that have so little and
cause mass death and suffering to the vast majority in exchange for greed, since they have so much already.
3) Petro-dollar: Trade oil in dollars. Have international trade in dollar hegemony. Link the major global currencies to the dollar,
then remove the dollar from a check and balance system. This happened in 1971
When Bretton Woods removed the gold standard. The Fed now peddles a fiat system that achieves devaluation Keynesian style and trickle down
economics, QE etc keep the money from the peasants
4) False Flags and Perpetual War: Engineer terrorist threats or fake attacks on own people to justify common enemies as war pretext and for proxy wars. Create mythical dictators to export democracy to nations whose resources are coveted. Facilitate this cost by removing tax money and send to a military cause. Finance arms via military industrial complex linked blue chip companies. Subjugate
nations militarily that resist the agenda.
5) Eliminate Liberty in exchange for security, Patriot act etc. Use Technology to spy, manipulate markets and search engines, media and craft public public sentiment or zeitgeist
6) Globalization of agriculture. Control the worlds food supply rather than feed the world.
7) Boost lobby, in particular the BIg Pharma lobby, for complex reason. Make for profit medicines and vaccines mandatory. Privatize all Govt functions gradually.
8) Destroy entrepreneurs in favor of creating employees, destroy unions and labor bargaining power Privatize Prisons and maximize the minority population behind bars paid for by public tax earning profit for Prison Inc, eliminate mom and pop operations and get big Multinationals to franchise disenfranchisement. Gene patent farming to eliminate family owned farms so that Monsanto types can turn them into employees, ultimately earning minimum wage, like peasants. Feudalistic method.
9) Mop up the collateral with increasingly militarized Police, and ultimately, after global war or a major event, FEMA CAMPS
10) Eliminate competing global models, like Russia and China
Don’t let anyone fool you: Sectarian strife in Syria has been engineered to provide cover for a war for access to oil and gas, and the power and money that come along with it.

Editor’s note: This article has been updated to reflect recent Wikileaks revelations of US State Department leaks that show plans to destabilize Syria and overthrow the Syrian government as early as 2006. The leaks reveal that these plans were given to the US directly from the Israeli government and would be formalized through instigating civil strife and sectarianism through partnership with nations like Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar and even Egypt to break down the power structue in Syria to essentially to weaken Iran and Hezbolla. The leaks also reveal Israeli plans to use this crisis to expand it’s occupation of the Golan Heights for additional oil exploration and military expansion.
1) (top image) You guessed it: Oil and Gas. Syria is loaded.
2) (above) Alliances, gas pipelines and geopolitical strategic alliances. US/NATO encirclement of Russia.
3) Bankster Cartel, because as we know already, all wars are banker wars.
(Excerpt courtesy Adrian Salbuchi as appearing in RT/op edge)
Syria’s Central Bank is state-owned & controlled – In other words, it manages its national currency so that it serves the Syrian people and not the Rothschild-controlled global bankers operating from their New York, London, Frankfurt, Tel Aviv, Basel and Paris hideouts.
This means that the volume of currency it issues is in proper sync with the true needs of real economy of work, labor, production and all that is useful to Syria’s people, instead of being in sync with parasitic, usurious, speculative foreign financiers. The latter seek to control local central banks so they can artificially limit the volume of currency available for genuine economic needs, especially the no-interest credit needed to finance useful things in the real economy: power plants, roads, gas works, housing, private enterprise and initiatives. This forces productive players – public and private - to have to resort to deadly interest and usury-based private banking loans whereupon the eternal debt chain starts to grow and grow as the so-called ‘sovereign debt crises’ that hit country after country throughout decades of time eloquently show.
By artificially distorting the volume of ‘public currency’ issued by sovereign central banks that generates no interest, countries are thus forced to resort to high interest bearing ‘private currency’ (loans) handled by the monopolistic private bankster cabal in the hands of Rothschild, Rockefeller, Warburg, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, CitiCorp, JP Morgan Chase interests.
Clearly, a very good reason for these parasitic banksters to want to take out Syria.
Recent developments confirm what is known and documented: Washington is behind the Islamic State (ISIS) and at the same time it is behind the moderate Al Qaeda terrorists, which the Obama administration is supporting as part of America’s campaign against the Islamic State (ISIS). And they expect us to believe that they are committed to waging a campaign against terrorists
The Islamic State (ISIS) was until 2014 called al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI).
Al Nusra is an al Qaeda affiliate which has committed countless atrocities in Syria. It is now considered by the Obama administration as the “Moderate Opposition”.
America’s “anti-terrorist campaign’ consists in supporting a so-called “moderate” Al Qaeda entity (Al Nusra) with a view to going after another al Qaeda entity entitled The Islamic State, formerly designated as Al Qaeda in Iraq.
“Al Qaeda is going after Al Qaeda”, and both wings of al Qaeda are supported covertly by US intelligence.
Both ISIS and Al Nusra are protected by the Western military alliance. Both Al Qaeda entities are used to destroy Syria and Iraq. The air campaign allegedly against ISIS does not target ISIS, it targets Syria and Iraq, schools, hospitals, factories, residential areas, government buildings, roads, bridges, etc.
Both Al Qaeda affiliated entities are being used to destroy Iraq and Syria as nation states.
The terrorists are the foot-soldiers of the Western military alliance.
US-NATO-Israel are state sponsors of terrorism, providing training, weapons and money to various terrorist formations.
The endgame is “regime change” in Syria and the fragmentation of Iraq.
