Preface: It is vital to note that BRICS has emerged principally as a consequence of geopolitical maneuvering.
It is the emergence of great power's in the east that has altered the balance of power. That means ending the post WW2 hegemonic dominance of the Anglo American Western Empire (The US and its Capital Finance Petrodollar establishment of former colonial powers turned Western vassals).
To put it another way, United States and its reserve currency (USD) unipolar world is today already widely recognised as a multipolar world. While it has been former cold war rival of the US, the then Soviet Union, todays Russian Federation, that has made the boldest and most sensational geostrategic and military advances, most notably the strategic defeat of the entirety of NATO through their proxy, Ukraine, the real momentum has actually been more gradually building quietly through China and India. In this way, many of the former Western vassals, the Petrodollar gulf monarchies and Iran, Brazil, Egypt and others have redefined global powers from OPEC, the G7 and The United Nations system and SWIFT financial instrument, to one taking shape and only recently finding actual implrmentation, around a BRICS structure.
Russia and China have sought to urgently diversify from their US Treasury holdings and found great success using gold and their own currency. Russias oil for gold and oil for Rubles program's along with outstanding diplomacy have allowed them to defy weaponising of propaganda and such through the post Bretton Woods USD institution's. This includes sanctions and measures by the US Departments of State and Pentagon, The UN, WEF, World Bank, EU, NATO to weaken their global standing. Moreover, it has only resulted in stronger alliance's in BRICS as the emerging great powers know that they are stronger together and that each needs the other.
South Africa has been a slow starter and has only recently been making bold gestures of overt inclination towards the East as its economic destiny.
While SA's Manufacturing base has not been as supercharged as other BRICS nations and its trade balance is a deficit with BRICS partners, meaning it is still an import heavy nation, opportunities exist with commodities, energy and certain local niches such as the Rooibos tea grown only near the table mountain part of the globe. These are products whose success in BRICS is already ordained and only the absence of a gobal marketing apperatus has left them unrealised.
This is what is missing from SA, and is the next step to take now that SA has been bolder it admitting publicly its BRICS aspirations and in some cases even openly defied the US attempts to them to heel.

TRADE
There is no single formal "BRICS trade agreement," but rather a framework for economic cooperation with agreements on specific areas like customs and energy efficiency, supported by institutions like the New Development Bank. South Africa's trade with other BRICS nations is growing significantly, but it also faces a persistent trade deficit. The BRICS Business Council serves as a platform for the private sector to facilitate trade and investment, with a goal to create a more business-friendly environment.
What is the BRICS Framework?
An informal association:
BRICS began as an informal alliance of economic powers and has evolved into an association that supports economic cooperation and the Strategy for BRICS Economic Partnership.
Key institutions:
The group has established the New Development Bank (NDB) for financing infrastructure projects and the BRICS Business Council to connect the business communities of member nation
No single trade bloc:
While focused on trade and investment, BRICS is not a formal trade bloc with a comprehensive, legally binding agreement.
South Africa's Trade with BRICS Nations
Growing importance:
BRICS nations are significant trading partners for South Africa, with substantial growth in both exports and imports since 2016.
Trade deficit:
South Africa has continuously recorded a growing deficit in its balance of trade with other BRICS economies, which has more than quadrupled since 2010, according to Business Tech.
Key beneficiaries:
Significant growth in South African exports to China has been a primary contributor to the overall trade increase.
Opportunities for Trade and Investment
Market access:
The BRICS framework aims to develop market access opportunities and inter-linkages between member countries.
Agribusiness interest:
The South African agricultural sector is particularly interested in leveraging BRICS to boost exports of products like fruits, wine, wool, and beef to China and India.
Conduit to Africa:
South Africa's developed infrastructure, including ports, railways, and logistics networks, positions it to act as a conduit for trade and investment into the wider African continent.
South Africa, my country of birth and current residence, haslaunched a caseat the United Nations' top court alleging that Israel's military campaign in Gaza amounts to genocide. I read the document and I must say it's pretty good. I strongly urge you to do the same and I have provided a link, the last link in red at the bottom of this post, to the pdf document which is the actual document as submitted to the ICJ.
The filing makes for surprisingly engaging reading for a document of international law and is much more concise than its 84 pages suggests. A significant portion is made up of extensive citations and source's of the sort that are known to be recognised by the ICC / ICJ and past warcrimes committed by Israel are also given scutiny as a means to provide context for the charge put forward as Israel's goal, that being genocide, rather than simply allege that ethnic cleansing is the goal. Ethnic Cleansing of Palestinians (born to the generation that were killed or run off their land in 1948) has already been criminally achieved in most parts of Israel but a genocide need not be ongoing, it only needs to succeed once for obvious reasons.
Israel's legal team will defend itself at the International Court of Justice before a panel of judges in the Great Hall of Justice but as usual its leaders are full of unrepentant swagger and it gave its expected predictable response in rejecting the genocide claim.
Eylon Levy, an official in the Israeli prime minister's office, on Tuesday accused South Africa of "giving political and legal cover" to the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas that triggered Israel's campaign. He added that Israels legal team to the Hague would "dispel South Africa's absurd blood libel"
israels Foreign Ministry released a statement which said South Africa's case lacks a legal foundation and constitutes a "despicable and contemptuous exploitation" of the court.
You should also read my parallel post that gives a more ideological synopsis of the globalist agenda told from the prism of their blue and white flag internationalist bureaucracy/ technocracy organizations:
Main article: Excerpts from Wouter Lanz upcoming book: 2025
Zbigniew Brzezinski published his 1970 'Between Two Ages: America’s Role in the Technetronic Era', assisted in particular by Samual P Huntington. In 'Between Two Ages' Brzezinski proclaimed that 'national sovereignty is no longer a viable concept', thus declaring nation states obsolete: 'The nation state as a fundamental unit of man's organized life has ceased to be the principal creative force. [Nota Bene] International banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance of the political concepts of the nation state'. Moreover, he foresaw' a 'movement toward a larger community by the developing nations through a variety of indirect ties and already developing limitations on national sovereignty'. In 1971 Klaus Schwab founded the World Economic Forum in the Swiss Davos. This doubtlessly Fourth Reicher Schwab would author his 2016 'The Fourth Industrial Revolution', a Round Tabler Writ detailing how it will render the masses superfluous, well in advance of the Event 201 and its Covid. In 1971 paving the path for China's rise the Round Table during Nixon's Presidency orchestrated abandoning the gold standard, while plotting the encounter with Mao and Zhou. 'Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger were designing the “opening to China” in 1971 - 72', in 'Lee Kuan Yew', Pillsbury though, in his 2013 'China's Secret Strategy' ['their' 100-Year Plan, from 1948/9 to 2049, see Xi's three about 30 years periods, which coincides with the Threshold & Hinges Strategy], contended that it would have been Mao's move, either way it was Round Tabler instigated. Mao of course had in 1956 already facilitated the later demise of the USSR with his positioning of the reformist Gomulka in Poland.
Hot on Schwab's heals and in tandem with Nixon's and Kissinger's 1972 Round Tabler Beijing exploits, facilitating Deng's 'Open Up' era, Brzezinski presented his plan for a commission of trilateral nations, tying in Japan with the 'West' as a typical Round Tabler dialectic, or 'balancing', act, reminiscent of the USSR and Nazi Germany being pitched against each other, during a meeting of the David Rockefeller founded Bilderberg Group in 1972; in 1973 the Trilateral Commission was officially founded with David Rockefeller as chairman, who would write in his article 'From a China Traveler', in the NY Times, on August 10, 1973, 'Whatever the price of the Chinese Revolution ['More recent fgures suggest Mao killed up to 300 million with at least half verifiable '(!) - Hallett, in his 2007 'Gifting Stalin'], it has obviously succeeded not only in producing more efficient and dedicated administration, but also in fostering high morale and community of purpose [see Huntington(!)] The social experiment in China under Chairman Mao's leadership is one of the most important and successful in human history'.
Brzezinski was named founding North American director. North American members included Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter, U.S. Congressman John B. Anderson and Time Inc. editor in chief Hedley Donovan(!). Foreign founding members included Reginald Maudling, Lord Eric Rolls, Economist editor Alistair Burnet [exposing his ignorance Mandela, in his 'Long Walk', ghost-written by Public Policy's Stengel, gleefully mentions having been allowed to read the Round Tabler Economist, assuming that the Total Strategists were not aware of the political nature of the magazine, while in fact it was part of his re-orientation and neo-liberal conditioning program], FIAT president Giovanni Agnelli, and French vice president of the Commission of European Communities Raymond Barre. In 1973 Pillsbury had been instructed by the US government 'to work with China's nationalists who call themselves 'Ying Pai' [compare 'Vulcans'], meaning 'hawks' or 'eagles'. Many of these Ying Pai are generals, admirals and government hard-liners. Few Americans have ever met them. However, they are the Chinese officials and authors I know the best, some of my colleagues wrongly dismiss the Ying Pai as nuts, but to me, they represent the real voice of China.
The hawks appear to be very supportive of the narrative of the decline of the United States and the rise of a strong China' [in 'China's Secret Strategy', 2012]. Carter, a peanuts farming nuke-submarine commander had been shuttled into position [see Huntington - Carter would implement FEMA] by the Round Tablers, in 1976 he would be installed as President: 'When Carter won the presidential election his aide, Hamilton Jordan, said, 'if after the inauguration, Cy Vance and Brzezinski come on board as secretary of state and national security adviser, we've 'lost', and I'll quit'; that was 'lost' to the Globalists' Trilateral Commission, their appointment to key positions would signal a surrender of White House control to the Round Tabler Commission.
When Vance and Brzezinski were appointed accordingly, Jordan accepted happily the post of Carter's chief of staff nonetheless.
'What the Trilateralists truly intend is the creation of a worldwide economic power superior to the political governments of the nation-states involved. They believe the abundant materialism [compare China] they propose to create will overwhelm existing differences [in fact it is, and indeed does, to 'overwhelm' and so 'manage' the masses]. As managers and creators of the system they will rule the future(!).
Trilateralists and others within aligned globalist societies display no concern for the United States as a sovereign nation. Their policies most often run counter to the best interests of the United States [part of their dialectic grand scheme was Trump's 'make America Great again' with its 'Trade War' directed at China, and the Round Tabler reaction with their 'Covid-19' Creative Destruction of the Vulgate's 'Democratic World'] and, in fact, appear to support the allegation that they seek a one-world government' [Marrs]. David Rockefeller having ventured to keep their treasonous conduct as much as that of their Round Tabler Media earlier covered could in the end not restrain his vanity, claiming his share in the Globalist endeavour with his statement: 'We are grateful to The Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine(!) & other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promise of discretion for almost 40 years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plans for the world(!) if we had been subject to the bright lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now much more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government' .. 'We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis and the nations will accept the New World Order'(!).
*
In his 2002 'Memoires' Rockefeller arrogantly displayed his Globalist colours: 'characterizing my family and me as 'Internationalists' [Rockefeller uses this term to deflect from 'Globalists'] and of conspiring with 'others' [of his Fourth Reicher ilk] around the World to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - 'One World', if you will [the Round Tabler 'Open Society'] - if that is the charge, I stand guilty, and I am proud of it!'
David Rockefeller would run at one time hands-on simultaneously the Council on Foreign Relations ['which 'influences' USA foreign policy, inclusive of wars', while coordinating the Round Tabler Bankers' interests with the Vulcans, Deep State and their Media'], Chase Manhattan Bank, Exxon, the CIA, and NBC'.
The Rockerfeller founded Trilateral Commission, a member of the Round Tabler Trinity with Rockerfeller founded the Council on Foreign Relations and the Rockerfeller founded Bilderberger Movement, would publish its 'Triangle Papers'.
Particularly interesting is the 1975 paper 'The Crisis of Democracy', stating 'America needs a greater degree of moderation in [i.e. 'less'] democracy, because democratic institutions are incapable of responding to crises'! Author of this '75 paper was the Olin Foundation [with CIA funds] sponsored, fascistoid securocrat Samuel P Huntington. Huntington who had assisted Brzezinski with his 'Between Two Ages' ['The manuscript was read and criticized by a number of friends and colleagues. I am especially grateful to Professor Samuel P Huntington for his trenchant criticisms and very helpful recommendations'] would make his way too to the RSA ( Republic Of South Africa) in 1981, to assist PW Botha with the Total Strategy.
Later would see South Africa bailing the the banks out the first time during the Savings & Loans crises of the 90's. Reserve Bank Governor Chris Stolts amended their banking act to include a secrecy clause to facilitate OPERATION HAMMER. (Below) track fwd to 18 minute's to hear former Reserve Bank non-executive director turned whistleblower give the Police Force the information on SA's strategic gold reserves, thousands of tons of gold worth trillions, ultimately handed over to JP Morgan Chase by Pik Botha and FW De Klerk.

In 1978 Huntington, who had written that without catastrophe democracy would become 'anomic', or purposeless(!), 'without common priorities', had been named Coordinator of Security Planning of Jimmy Carter's National Security Council. 'Common priorities' of course pertain to the Round Tabler goal of their 'One World' 'Open Society'; to instill their purpose on the masses, in a 'democracy' a collective perception among the significant groups in society of a major challenge to their well-being that threatens them all equally, proposed Huntington(!), such as the quasi Cold War and its the Nuclear Threat, the War on Terror, Gore's Climate Change, and the equally fake Covid, is to be manufactured(!).
As all USA governments also Carter's was stuffed with Round Tabler minions. Following Huntington's recommendations to curtail the USA's democracy and to manufacture catastrophes(!), 'Carter created the Federal Emergency Management Agency in 1979, coinciding with the 'War on Terror' Jerusalem Conference, with the power to take totalitarian control of government functions in the event of a national emergency' [Jim Marrs in Rule by Secrecy]. Another Round Table serving entity, the Club of Rome would carry Huntington's recommendations to prevent a 'democratic' World turning 'anomic' proclaiming, in 1991, The First Global Revolution: 'In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill'(!). The Globalist 2020 so called 'COVID' scam would reveal 'FEMA', which was first invoked following the 2001 '9/11', 'War on Terror' enabling, false-flag assault and subsequently never completely revoked, as the democratic society's actual national emergency and common threat!
Because I'm so frustrated with the narrative of media coverage in SA, and the entire framing of issues in the minds of South Africans, I'm going to do a whole series of posts on Banks, Mines, The JSE, the bogus reasoning of all our political parties etc. I'll be attempting to completely reframe the way we think about things here in SA. Do not believe the MSN that the ANC Government is fully in control of the nation, do not believe the "State Capture " MSM reports regarding former president Zuma. That is SA's "Russiagate" . Even though our central bank works differently, which a limited dividend private sharhealing from the public domain to compliment the cabal control, private shareholders have no say in policy, and despite media lies, the government is not in control of its mandate, and it has tried to influence the mandate only to be met with thinly veiled threats from the big capital interests to sink the Rand. Blue text is an active link.
Just when I thought Rhamaphosa was coming right, three months after saying all the right things we are losing momentum again. Bankster trained economists knee jerk reaction to nationalising the SARB is always the same, point to the Rand moving downwards on news (will always happen, but we need the appetite and courage to overcome little bumps if we deserve our sovereignty). They will also point to "foreign investment" and the bankster run credit ratings agencies, the ones that rated all the junk stocks as Tripple ""AAA"" just before the 2008 crises. All of these are strongarm tactics designed to maintain the globalist banker capture of our state, the real state capture.
Here he is getting it right 3 months ago:
But old habits die hard, and that inspiration seems to be fading, or he has once more been gotten to.
This article is about how the SARB, aided by commercial banks steals prosperity from us and our children whilst it transfers wealth from the common people, the taxpayers, to the global fat-cat elites (From whom Rhamaphosa professes to want to reclaim land, but in fact it works the other way around because home loans are not loaned from a capital or asset account but created by banks magically on their balance sheet and the new currency starts its life on the national balance sheet as debt owed by a citizen to a bank despite no loan occurring, yet there is somehow exorbitant interest attached to the "loan" and defaults are seized by the banks. This is nothing more than wealth transfer. We must not lose sight of the fact that ultimately its property and land that have value, not the paper fiat currency which is not backed by anything other than SARB inflationary overprinting and bank overlending) but in essence this method is used in all countries because the central bankers have control over the whole global currency system and use similar methods everywhere. You cannot mine on anything but land, farm on anything but land, or live on anything but land.
Do not harbour under the illusions that "White Owned" or "Black Owned" political talking points have any bearing on our reality, now influenced more by globalization and colonial legacy far more than race-baiting political baiting. The land issue can only be resolved after the Reserve bank is nationalised and the banks are reformed. But that is a global battle, not just a local, and we all know what happened to the last few countries who dared keep sovereign control of their central banks (I'll give you a clue, those countries were/are Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, and North Korea....)
Do not harbour under any illusions of SARB reform or Treasury reform is imminent.
Governments can never repay the national debt, this is by design, and must always pay for civil and other services by DEFICIT SPENDING (meaning borrowing the money from private banks like the SARB) If the government could simply issue its own currency, there would be no steadily increasing national debt, and a balancing the budget without deficit spending would become a priority with a sound money Austrian Economics approach rather than a Globalist Keynesian approach. However, since we (or our government on our behalf) borrow from private banksters who act as brokers for bondholders, a fractional reserve style, liquidity gearing national debt is created and the majority of all our tax we pay every month goes to servicing the interest portion of the national debt and paying the banksters. Let's be clear on that, our tax pays the banks. Because money is borrowed at interest there is never enough to service the principle "debt" and money must always be borrowed for this purpose. Only the interest is serviced and the principle is never resolved, that is the goal. As far as the mechanics of this chicanery is concerned, this is done by issuing treasury bonds sold to the "Primary Dealers" (International bankster cabal like the usual suspect Rothschilds; Rockefellers as well as those same interests behind JP Morgan Deutsche Bank, Investec ; Citi) as well as SA's big four banks who are also owned in part by the banksters who own the SARB by a similar system of shareholder arrangements that evolved over time by mergers and acquisitions. Only a small portion of public shareholders have Reserve bank shares and shareholder arrangments centre this control out of germany.
These primary dealers make a "Secondary Market" (IE make a further profit off us by privileged of the mandate of first creating money with interest to turn us into debt slaves servicing our national debt with tax, then selling the bonds at profit in a secondary market.
Once this happens the bonds ensure all debt by the future taxation of a nation's children to service the interest for the international banksters. That's why Government Bonds are such secure investments, they are guaranteed by taxation of the public. We are the surety, our blood sweat and tears insure their profit. Because of technology, the inflation (hidden taxation and savings destroyer) that is eroding our standard of living, compensates for the productivity deficit that builds, but one salary is no longer enough and soon we will have to co-habitat because we will not be able to have families afford their own homes as money loses it's purchasing power.
This would all stop if we had taxpayer oversight instead of an "Independent" SARB, based on real money, a store of VALUE instead of fiat currency which is created from DEBT. Fiat currency and Keynesian chicanery are how the banksters pull the wool over our eyes, and since CODESA the government are mere administrators, those that truly control our economy will never give it up because those are the people that destroy entire countries to bring their central banks under their control. They would likewise sooner destroy the country (or than return it to the citizens. Their MO is divide and conquer, so they would more likely get that country to destroy itself, and South Africa is rife with potential divisions to exploit. It;s safe to say that Rhamaphosa will not take meaningful action against the SARB, and his nepotism is no better than Zuma's, but concerns should go beyond that, (relatively little attention has been paid to the fact that the Total discovery of a gas field south off Mossel Bay – which Ramaphosa and Gwede Mantashe expressed delight about, stands to benefit just one South African individual, businessman Phutuma Nhleko, to the tune of potentially hundreds of billions) and more. Concerns should go beyond his being a member of the board at Lonmin (London Mining SA) and Marikana, beyond his time at MTM and McDonalds. It should also look beyond his joint venture with coal cabal Glencore and the costly coal price weighing so heavily on South Africans for electricity generation and beyond the two decades he spent immersing himself in the world of capital finance, a world far from the base and much closer to the controlling Bank interests of the South African Reserve, who are the same interests behind the climate change behind the scenes restructuring of our economy at the cost to the people, and the same people whose renewable energy plans and climate change cabal fixing of the coal price have caused massive operational cost hikes in Eskom, all loosely aligned to form the real group who have no plans to give land back to South Africans, despite what the President says. Those people may be laundered in with local JSE fatcats or corporate entities, but ultimately those are offshore interests, such as behind the banks, Anglo, farms/vineyards/paper forest plantations or our energy reserves which will not benefit the people but rather fall victim to nepotism or bankster cronyism, just like our money supply.
These interests are laughing at us, because while they and their ilk have a long history of this, their insiders like Trevor Manual the Rothschild man, Tito Mbowemi the Goldman sacks man, Pravin Ghordan and Rhamaphosa himself will focus on "Land Reform" being a divide and conquer strategy along racial lines, and to keep the presidents perception problem with the black vote at bay, South Africans are too busy fighting among themselves demographically to spot the unseen hand operating the levers from afar.
Cyril Ramaphosa was recruited as a Spy from the Police Reservists in 1971 (his father was also an SAP).
His University fees were paid by Urban Foundation of the Oppenheimers.
While he was in his 20s, the Transvaal Mining houses led by the Oppenheimers and the Menels, they made him the head of Africa's biggest union (founded by White mining bosses, the Rand Club): NUM.
In 1990, Craig Williamson, the NIA spy who successfully infiltrated the ANC inserted Ramaphosa on the Mandela Welcoming/Reception Committee even though Ramaphosa was not a member of the ANC and was not known by UDF.
Ramaphosa was entered into the ANC Elective Conference without Credentials (since he has joined the ANC that very year in 1991).
Even though he was young and unknown, Ramaphosa won becoming the SG or main administrator of the ANC: effectively meaning the ANC was captured by the White Apartheid State through Ramaphosa.
The Media suddenly claimed that he was Mandela's preferred successor (the same Media support he receives now).
In an old TV episode with Evita Bezeidenhod; Ramaphos is shown at a large farm with no explanation how he obtain the farm.
Pro-Black parties such as the PAC, Azapo and BCM were killed off in favour of the captured ANC which Negotiated at CODESA on behalf of Black people with Ramaphosa as Chief Negotiator.
He delivered for White Apartheid beneficiaries by giving us a pro-White (Sunset Clauses) Canadian Constitution with European values and maintaining the Vestigates of Apartheid and colonial gain such as Land.
Ramaphosa was awarded for his Double Agent work by being made a Billionaire.
The ANC was pressured by Business to appoint Ramaphosa as Zuma's Deputy in order to attract business.
When Zuma did do that; he was suddenly poisoned with the same GEM that killed Yasser Arafat. Zuma was saved by Russian doctors (and MaNtuli was blamed).
Remember how the Rating Agencies and the Media was worked up to high Anti-Zuma hysteria which all died down when Ramaphosa took over
Because I'm so frustrated with the narrative of media coverage in SA, and the entire framing of issues in the minds of South Africans, I'm going to do a whole series of posts on Banks, Mines, The JSE, the bogus reasoning of all our political parties etc. I'll be attempting to completely reframe the way we think about things here in SA. Blue text is an active link. The Issue of Climate Change has been shown (even on this blog alone ) to be a globalist construct and product of the dynastic legacy families of capital finance as well as think tanks from globalist and tax-exempt foundations. The objective is to seize control over sovereign energy policies and to drive up the price of energy commodities used in privatised or parastatal utility companies such as the Eskom price hikes experienced through hikes in the coal price (energy commodities other than the oil price that is, which is linked to the petrodollar faction of the US hegemonic globalist faction blooded through the CFR which is behind the oil wars, regime change, the US Department of State and the Pentagon). The globalist agenda via the UN is to use sustainability to implement the planned austerity (already rolled out in the globalist vipers den of the EU) and particularly the austerity of carbon swaps, carbon taxes and carbon credits in the post-carbon economy which is being marshalled so diligently at the various globalist climate conferences, the Bilderberg meetings and the PR handled by the ever faithful MSM. The science is flimsy at best and the data is regularly corrupted to fit the awful predictions made by the woeful models developed and used as evidence (not that models can EVER be called evidence). Simply put the science does not stand to scrutiny and this has been dealt with many times before in previous posts. If you do not accept this premise the impact of this particular post will be lost on you but I welcome any constructive engagement through the contact section of this blog or as a private message on Facebook or Twitter. Please focus on the specific point of disagreement to save me the time of repeatedly covering the same issues if I have not covered that issue in enough detail previously to persuade you. I only use a tiny fraction of the collection of reputable data sources, professional sources and media or organisational institutions as referenced links but have dozens more too detailed to use as quick verifications for citations on my posts. If you make a compelling case I assure you I will reply and cite you in amendments or corrections with thanks if you can clearly demonstrate an error or point out a reasoning flaw. Usually, the globalist cabal (for lack of a better word to describe this sort of colluding collective) has gotten to our government via the finance ministers post, usually via treasury or the SARB. The climate change agenda works differently and uses the IPCC as well as the UN as its supra-national enforcer of choice instead of the IMF or World Bank and ICC. It also has taken the trouble of establishing working committees and departments established in every government. In South Africa this is notably manifest as The Centre For Environmental Rights which will enforce laws and permit criteria which the Chamber of Commerce and Department of Trade and Industry will duly fall in line with. This will give them extra clout because since CODESA the capital finance "powers that be" only control the economy of SA but the Government are the lowly administrators but can still be a barrier to passing legislation, even when insiders like Rhamaphosa are Pravin Ghordan are in office. This way all legislated enforcing can be done using government agencies that have traditional taxpayer oversight, from the bureaucratic sector to even the police force and the courts, all are now going to have to police this these practices or they will be in the unenviable position of dereliction of duty if they refuse to enforce. We missed the boat by stopping this at the source, prior to legislation being passed. Rhamaphosa's latest cabinet features too many politicians from the post Zuma cabinet that are loyal to Rhamaphosa and possibly therefore his masters from the JSE or offshore to be sure about who will put the country first VS who will do us damage by following rich heritage of globalist traitors such as Tito Mbowemi, Trevor Manual and Pravin Ghordan but even if they don't the damage is already done.
