A report in the AP shows the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) trade alliance seems to remain strong despite western sanctions. India admitted to purchasing 3 million barrels of Russian oil at a 20% discount rate this week.
There’s no mention of how the purchase will be transacted, what currency they would use; however, the top-line story of India refusing to follow western trade sanctions reflects the BRICS alliance is delivering economic results.
[Via AP] – […] NEW DELHI — The state-run Indian Oil Corp. bought 3 million barrels of crude oil from Russia earlier this week to secure its energy needs, resisting Western pressure to avoid such purchases, an Indian government official said Friday.
The official said India has not imposed sanctions against buying oil and will be looking to purchase more from Russia despite calls not to from the U.S. and other countries.
The United States, Britain and other western countries are urging India to avoid buying Russian oil and gas. Indian media reports said Russia was offering a discount on oil purchases of 20% below global benchmark prices.
Such prices have surged in recent weeks, posing a huge burden for countries like India, which imports 85% of the oil it consumes. Its demand is projected to jump 8.2% this year to 5.15 million barrels per day as the economy recovers from the devastation caused by the pandemic. (read more)
Should be a very short time before the US dollar totally collapses.
But on the other hand … why should “the US Dollar (USD)” still hold the “amazingly still-privileged position” that an “amazingly still-alive Henry Kissinger” negotiated, about fifty years ago?
Let’s face it: “time marches on.”
No, the US Dollar won’t “collapse.” But the sovereign owners of that currency will finally be forced to accept that “sovereign ownership of that currency” no longer amounts to a Get Out Of Jail Free card. And, this just might turn out to be “a mighty good thing!”
The world is a very different place than it was when the dollar was declared the Reserve Currency.
We might have just moved one from an one currency having that distinction ever again.
The way world wide banking and finance is negotiated has just made a drastic change and is now out of the hands of the people that thought they had it all covered.
I am wondering if it will never go back.
BRICS has just done “work around” of the my way or the high way of global control of all of banking and finance and nothing will ever be the same.
This just might be the end of our US politicians being able to line their pockets to the tune of millions and millions and making their selves and their kids gazillionaires and selling out our country.
A very good thing.
“No, the US Dollar won’t “collapse”
Looks like today’s announcement is an excuse to print another trillion to defeat Russia.
People do not want to hold a depreciating asset. The USD will become the Hot Potato currency.
“People do not want to hold a depreciating asset. The USD will become the Hot Potato currency.”
Compare the exchange value of the US dollar to the Russian ruble. Which asset is falling faster?
The dirt cheap ruble gives Russia an export advantage.
Unfortunately for Putin, the only thing he can sell foreigners these days is oil because the war in Ukrainian has convincing demonstrated that Russian armaments are weak sauce.
The world wants oil. Russia sells oil. The US sells arms. Makes you wonder about the warmongers in Congress.
Russia also sells missile systems. If NATO does not attack Russia, Russian sales of missile systems will greatly increase, cutting into one of the USA main exports. This will increase the US trade deficit.
Guess what happens to USA Defense Contractor sales when Russia’s forced to use its air defense missile system to shoot down an F16 or F35.
As I have covered before, Russia wins either way. If the US does not attack, it proves Russian systems are a viable deterrent. If the US will not touch it, Russia wins.
The idea that Russia is “forced” to use the missiles is silly. That is why Russia has laid out bait. If Russia is successful in shooting down top US aircraft, what is the value of US aircraft?
Pelosi will be featured in the Russian sales video. Talking about the tanks that are just sitting there and she just wants to go in and get them. Pelosi confirms the bait.
When a reporter brings up the S-300 at the Pentagon, pentagon freaks out and says they will not talk about weapon systems. That will probably be in the Russian sales video too. The US is building the legend. Russia needs to do nothing.
Hopefully if everybody gets off the Global dollar and the Elites find a new home in a cell we won’t need missiles because the Cabal won’t be creating needless wars. Wouldn’t that be nice for a change! Just sayin~
Telling, very telling
“Russian armaments are weak sauce.”
Weak sauce has frozen a 30 nation NATO army.
I love the double standard we apply for convenience.
If Russia kills any civilians, they are a brute force overwhelming a weaker victim.
But, let Russia take it’s time to methodically target specific military assets without creating a large civilian death count.
Then it’s obviously been
“demonstrated that Russian armaments are weak sauce.”
Its amusing and so telling isn’t it?
Oil is all the world wants, and the lithium, and vast minerals in Russia. It hasn’t changed. Its always a war for energy.
weak sauce? Real evidence about current Russian eqpt. please? Not just what you hear on the MSM
Did you read about the pinpoint accuracy of the Russian missile that was launched from inside Russia to hit a Ukrainian training/arms depot near the Polish border thousands of miles away? Definitely not “weak sauce.”
I wonder how much of that money will be used as bribes in the mid-term elections.
Agreed!
No more mass printing of dollars based on nothing! Goodbye Social Security and all social programs!!
Yep, I’m not sure the Ukrainian flag waving NPCs have cottoned to the fact that their SS, Mecdicare, government pension, etc. is going bye bye.
Probably correct. The cost of living increase for SSI in 2023 should be about 75%
Last year was the highest COLA SS has ever had, at 5.9 percent, and was based on inflation in 2021, which is before it really got rolling.
I don’t see how 2023 can be less than 10 percent, even with them undercalculating the actual increase in the cost of living.
That alone is going to blow a massive hole in the program that was already in trouble, due to 10,000 new retirees signing up every day,…
There will have to be significant increase in the amount current workers and their employers are paying in, in order to keep the system going,..which will further depress the job market..
No wonder they blatantly killed off as many people in assisted living as they could.
The refugees are, or will become, the true ‘spoils of war’, as most countries in the world face imminent demographic collapse. That’s what the computer models have been telling for over thirty years. We are experiencing the crazy “solutions” that TPTB chose to enact (mass immigration, women’s employment, energy transition, digital currencies, digital gulags), while not mentioning the demographic problem, as the demise is what they always wanted anyway.
The BRICS have the right idea, NWO wants you to hold worthless paper and call it money. It is a mighty good thing. Let our currencies compete and the dollar will get strong in a hurry.
How does it get strong? WE MAKE NOTHING! What do we have that the world wants? With Trump we had oil/gas/fertilizer. The promise of apprenticeships, because he knows not every pussy hat wearing moron should go to college. He was bringing back production to Detroit etc etc
The AH’s in the White House don’t want people to work. They just want to kill them!
Strong dollar policies will have to wait for the third Trump term. Hold on and pass the popcorn.
The US does manufacture genetic code injections. And each and every person in the western world must get at least 4.
Every other effort, every means for trying to reign in the outrageously out of control Federal spending has failed.
CONGRESS controls the purse strings, Congress profits FROM the spending, and so isn’t going to stop.
THIS is what gives them a credit card with no limit.
So, ‘losing’ reserve status for the $, is the ONLY thing that MIGHT stop their “Billion $ here, billion $ there, sooner or laterits starts to add up to real money!” attitude.
And yes, its going to be REAL hard for America to have to learn to ‘live within its means’, but then again, HOW will we afford to give all those 10’s of millions of illegals pouring across the border free education, healthcare, food stamps, etc.
How will we afford to send our military all over the World, for pointless wars?
How will we afford to pay people not to work?
And pay for 15 FBI agents to fly across country, to investigate a garage door pull, or stage false flag operations against political enemies?
So yeah, in the long run, it COULD be a good thing.
The various forces of evil wish the USA destroyed.
.
As for me I would rather go down as a refusenik.
Breaking News (Treehouse Bee)
Biden will match offered Russian discounts in order to punish Russia.
Payments to India to pay for this emergency policy will be in the next trillion dollar spending bill.
We used to be called Non- conformists.
All this within a year and a half of Joe Biden! The question remains as to whether we can hold off until November. That’s our only hope! The Democrats can’t win an honest election. Covid seems to be their only control mechanism. Unless they can eliminate the election process, the Dems are almost as good as dead.
Covid AND Climate Change. These 2 things are worldwide and engineered by the WEF. It’s all Build Back Better. Go to Rumble, find Conservative Momma. Scroll down through her videos and find the one about Build Back Better. It is short, thorough, and succinct schooling in what is happening to us right this very minute. 👍💖🇺🇸
Just watched some her stuff. Love it. It’s wonderful to listen to a conservative woman.
The November elections won’t save us. In fact, I doubt it will even slow down the carnage of Xiden’s suicide mission.
Agreed. My intuition tells me the mass exodus of politicians will usher in more AOCs and we have been handed over to the middle east.
They still have the Emergency Use Authorization going.
If all that happens is 40-80 House seats, and 2-3 Senate seats “switch” from Uniparty-D to Uniparty-R, nothing of SUBSTANCE will change.
The Republicons, following the Gowdy model, will ‘investigate to exhonerate’ and act as a pressure relief valve, investigating Brandon administration scandals, “exposing” things WE already knew, and then finding no one responsible for;
Afganistan debacle withdrawal.
Hunters laptop.
The Economy
Ukraine debacle and Biolabs.
And, whatever other scandals become too big to ignore.
And all of which McConnell and McCarthy were deeply involved in.
That’s why we have a new varient before the midterms.This one doesn’t even have a name yet.
Stock tip: invest in wheelbarrows.
Stock tip; Carbon fiber holds up better, long term, than wood.
Invest in non-prescious prescious metals; steel, brass and copper clad lead.
China and Russia both, have “fake” economies. It won’t take much for them to collapse as well.
I share your concerns. But the other players aren’t much better off, if at all.
The killer for America is debt. The killer for China is their real estate, overvalued stocks, and hollowed out economy. For Russia, it is debt, inflation, ruble collapse, internal strife, etc.
The next 6 to 12 months will display things we never thought possible. Nobody is going to win.
Bingo. When I heard about these new economic alliances, I thought about the conniving and corruption minds behind the deal. Yes, our leaders are corrupt as well, but historically our strength is the American worker, not the America politician. Any strong dollar was underwritten by the men and women who brought innovation and integrity to the job.
Just a note about India and Russia. They have had an economic relationship going back decades. I have traveled to India twice for work and have worked with Indian software developers for 20+ years. So India purchasing oil or any other economic engagement is not news.
Expect India to create a wedge between Russia and China.
Remember China attacking India along their shared border?
Also, all of these economies are rigged to the hilt!
Ron Paul, April 2020: “The Fed’s fake economy has burst. The stock market, even if it rises, cannot hide the damage that has been done. The virus, now known to be less deadly than the seasonal flu, cannot act as a legitimate excuse either.”
Oops – meant to post this after JimmyKrackKorn’s post.
The US has a fake economy as well.
I just posted much the same above. Excellent point, JKK.
Yes, the whole Worldwide Financial system is ‘fake’;
A theory I read recently and ascribe to says, essentially that the 2008 ‘financial crises’ was NOT a created crises, it was REAL.
What Paulsen told Congress was TRUE; the global financial system was on the verge of collapse.
And so, they instituted Emergency measures, never tried before, and because the alternative was too unthinkeable.
NOT just in the U.S.; Central banks around the World all followed the same model,..and it ‘worked’ to stabilise an otherwise dead patient.
But, then they realised that it was only keeping the patient alive, so long as the measures remained in place; take away quantitative easing, raise interest rates, and the system collapses,….
Which is why these measures have remained in place for 14 years, and they are only now, in the face of unprecedented inflation, raising interest rates a measly 1/4 percent.
The Worldwide financial system is fake, being kept alive by ‘extraordinary measures’, and yes, China, Russia, U.S., EU ALL will be effected when it finally collapses.
And NOBODY really has any idea WHAT to do about it.
Sounds like a Ponzi Scheme that ran out of runway!
But, the trains will run on time./s
If you think about it bro, all of of our economies are make believe and have been for a while. They only work if everybody plays along. We are freaking out about a digital currency but for years most of our holdings at banks have been 1’s and 0’s in a computer file. After Nixon removed us from the Gold Standard, what really gave/gives the Dollar value?? I have never heard an explanation that makes sense. I keep getting the feeling we are living in a real world game of Risk, my favorite board game of all time.
I think we all know debit/credit cards are digital, we sort our finances Online, the point is, is they will control it and shut it off if they don’t like the way we speak, vote, act
“ what really gave/gives the Dollar value?? ”
What gives anything value? Faith. It even applies to Gold.
The killer for the US is our government is trying to lose.
hmmm yeah everyone was worried that russia wouldnt be aboe to pay that puny $117 million.
in 2008 the US government off balance sheet debt was 1 trillion.
that number was so ridiculous that i stopped tracking it
is it like a 100 trillion by now?
US has the worst finances on the planet
I actually think China has that honor. I don’t think we are that far behind tho
This. Not one country is in a position of strength at this time. Not the US, not Russia, not China, any of the rest of the BRICS, and certainly not the EU. No country on Earth doesn’t have crushing debt. And let’s talk derivatives. Once the derivatives detonate in any country, all go down like dominoes. No one will be immune. Not even the billionaires. It’s why they’re all propping up the current system and hoping the great reset gives the world and them a way out of the debt trap.
Learn the lessons of the Great Depression. No country was immune, and all government action prolonged the depression.
The model we should be following is the depression of 1920-21. As deep a depression as the one that began in 1929, but one that the government at the time did nothing to interfere. People, banks and local governments went bankrupt without being bailed out. The bad debt was cleared from the system and in a little over a year life went on, with those who were too highly leveraged wiped out.
In 2008 when we were headed down this same road, the bad actors-banks, government, billionaires- were bailed out and the bad debts remained. Nothing was cleared out, in fact it got deeper.
The world is overdue for a reckoning. Unfortunately it will be in our time.
History is very useful if you know it.
…and of course, the collapse of the middle class-the REAL enemy of American elites.
Maybe within the year…😱
yes Anerica will be said to have F’d around and found out..
Not a flaw….a feature.
Is Putin really that small? He sure acts bigger.
Big dog in a little dog’s body.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has hailed the country’s “special operation” in Ukraine at a rally marking the anniversary of the 2014 annexation of Crimea. Moscow’s 80K seat Luzhniki Stadium, which hosted the World Cup final in 2018, was packed for the rally, with patriot songs, and crowds waving Russian flags and shouting: “Russia! Russia! Russia!”
Images and video from the stadium showed a sea of red, blue and white flags and banners, with one reading: “For Putin!”
Mr Putin gave a speech from a stage at the venue – after discussing Moscow’s military operation in Ukraine with his security council on Friday, RIA news agency cited the Kremlin. He told the cheering thousands “we will implement all our plans”, insisting that the “main purpose” of the invasion of Ukraine is to “save people from suffering and genocide”.
It seems he’s been watching Mr Trump’s rallies and has been taking a few notes.
A Trump Rally!!
Well, President Trump is a far better coach than George Clooney ever was with Obama.
So much better!
bare-chested, horseback riding, etc., etc.= short man’s disease…
Smaller dudes tend to be scrappy as Hell.
bruce lee
Like a Chihuahua (sp?)
Pitbull
Yeah, Biden is much taller which is known to be the main indicator of a man’s strength, intellect and the ability to lead.
Sarcilicious!
LOL! That’s a ‘keeper’!
Tbanks!!
As a life-long short guy, I fart in the general direction of any tall person.
🤣🤣🤣
That is why Trump moved to Florida.
Sucks being short?
No. I seldom hit my head on things.
It is also easy to take advantage of people who underestimate me.
Hot gas rises:)
So did yiu intend to put a sarc or /s/ after that comment?
If you feel it needed a sarc tag, it does not need a sarc tag.
when they were going down the line handing out brains, Biden stooped to tie his shoe and missed the tall guy advantage. Never recovered from it. He has never been intelligent, he’s just a really good liar
My thought was ” he was getting in line for brains and he heard pains, Having some already he stepped out of line..”
Ma’am, it’s my understanding the Thief ‘n’ Chief has had not 1 but 2 chunks of brain removed on account of bloodclots or aneurysms. I do not pretend know how big these chunks were or from which regions they were taken, something tells me they were significant.
Surgeon must have needed a microscope, just to FIND the organ, to say nothing of removing pieces of it.
I think the surgeon might’ve left a scalpel and a few sponges inside his skull when they stitched him up.
Actually, he is a really LOUSY liar; he SUCKS at it, keeps getting caught and never learns from the mistakes that get him caught.
I have known “good” liars in my life, he is TERRIBLE.
John Kerry exemplifugged…
Putin is thought to be between 5′ 2″ and 5′ 6″
He’s been known to wear shoe lifts at summit meetings.
Not tall, but good at judo.
That’s why the little guy likes to have photos taken as he rides a
nice, tall horse.
Of course, there aren’t any photos of Puddintane getting on the horse
by way of step-stool (ROFLMAO).
But there was that photo of Obama on a bike!
It’s not an act….unlike tough guy cornpop killer here.
Now what will FBiden do to India? Don’t think he and his cabinet thought past lunch last week when all the emotional sanctions were cobbled together. We’d do the same thing as India if a similar circumstance arose.
Stop buying curry powder maybe. FJB can’t shut them off…heck, three fourths of big tech and banking company customer help desks are in India.
And Big Tech wants those immigrants from India.
PDJT would have ended that about 20 minutes after the Indian-Ruskie deal was announced……..of course, with no support from McConnell, McCarthy, Mittens, Collins, et al.
With PDJT, India would never have crossed that line.
Trump was just a little too unpredictable.
What’s more, he has a penchant for publicly trashing anyone who screws with him.
The liberal weenies see this as a flaw, while MAGA folk recognize this as part of his strategy.
You are correct on your first three sentences.
Being unpredictable, honest and direct to-the-point is something the “liberal weenies” cannot fathom while foreign leaders do and respect.
And Pharma..
LOTS of pharmacueticals as well.
Biden has not had a cohesive thought in a long time. Obama Inc. is in charge. Remember Susan Rice? Haven’t heard much about her the last year. IMO Susan Rice is the link between Biden administration and Obama. Of course there is the WEF above Obama. While republicans have been obsessed fearing a Trump comeback, Obama Inc. are implementing the demise of America with little to no pushback from those same republicans, i.e., they want Trump and America First gone for good. There will be a time when we are called to fight to save America. I will be there. mThe press will be much worse for us than with Ukraine.
Susan Rice or Valerie.
No, IMHO I disagree.
Everybody thinks with their FEELINGS, and they hate Obama,..
But he is a liteweight, a dillatente, lazy and a pothead.
He was picked and groomed to play a role, thats all. Just like most Presidents are.
People say that because its obvious, those in most of the top Political leadership positions, Biden, Harris, Pelosi seemed incompetent to grow a houseplant.
ONE in top leadership,..doesn’t seem incompetent; say what you want (and I could say plenty!) McConnell is NOT mentally defective.
HE is ‘the man behind the curtain’ and he is delighted many think its Obama, as he likes it BEHIND the curtain.
What’s puzzling is why more Democrats aren’t following the lead of Senema and Manchin. Surely there are more that can connect dots here! Biden is leading America down a rabbit hole in which the Left will have a helluva time finding a way out. Things just don’t add up on this! The MSM is very hard to trust anymore as well as most blogs.
Fox
Fox Business
Newsmax
all continue 24/7 gaslighting over Ukraine, with the
“Russia still cannot reach Kyiv” b.s.
Switch FOX news off. EVERYTHING they do is for the money from advertising. Hannity is the man WHO WOULD throw granny from a cliff for a pay raise.
It’s very tiresome indeed.
If you believe Fox the Ukranian army is routing the Russians…that’s why zelenskyy is begging the world for arms and money in his stylish t shirts from his bunker.
Until it hits the ice cream supply, nothing.
Imagine the explosion in Help Desk wait times if Beijing Biden screwed with India.
MILLIONS of pissed Americans, growing by the week.
Big tech can’t afford to lose what india offers. FjB won’t touch them and risk losing his most effective allies in silicone Valley.
It is beginning to look more and more, that America created, and released, the COVID virus to shutdown economies, and usher in the global reset. And, it begins to look increasingly like America will be left on its own holding the baby, and the debt.
There is an eerie orchestration of this war that is very similar to the release of COVID. Its almost the same playbook re media etc
Nations reap as they sow.
Not just man.
i have said that since this whole thing started,and the report out last week from britian i believe that covid antibodies were found in blood samples from sept of 2019.which makes sense as my wife and I both had a wicked cough in mid sept,i’m 59 and i have never had a cough even a tenth that bad,i knew something was not right,and it just so happens that pelosi was in china in aug of 19 so did she bring it back with her?
We went to Vietnam in September ’19 for an adoption
and noticed that anyone traveling from Hanoi had
a high probability of being very sick.
While flying from Saigon to Hanoi, the man in front of me
was extremely sick. Within 24 hours of landing, I was miserable.
A month later, after a full round of antibiotics, we traveled
to Hawaii and noticed more and more very sick people as we made
our way back to the mainland.
thanksgiving 2019 for me same thing
I agree. It’s looking more and more like the US was behind releasing Covid-19. What does China know seeing as they blamed the US military early on. I ignored these claims at the time, but if you look at how they rigged the election to get Biden into the WH, then you have to start asking other questions.
Then, they disastrously pulled out of Afghanistan, so you have to wonder if they had already planned the confrontation with Russia and had to get out of Afghanistan ASAP so they would be ready to back Ukraine and supply them with arms.
The USA government/Deep State has become the epitome of EVIL. They have become an abhorrent soulless destructive force, all to prove their theory that globalism is preferable to individual rights. Globalism means eternal power, whereas individual freedoms mean they are reduced to screeching banshees.
I am be wrong but maybe the vast reserves of Oil in Alberta’s tar sands will become even more valuable than they are.
May, and it is a big maybe, but Biden and Trudeau may have little choice but approve our West/East pipeline from Alberta.
And the one down to Texas.
Cheers!
I hope you’re not wrong.
But never underestimate the cold hatred which ideologues who have an iron grip on power in both our countries are infected with. The only chance I see for any turnaround on their vice like destructive stranglehold is when corporate bottom lines start to head south…which they will. Best to you, D. B
Plus the stupidity…never underestimate their sheer stupidity, ignorance and narcissism….
All you say is a given. They wear their “superiority” and preen like peacocks, strutting around advertising their arrogance and hubris, rubbing peoples faces in it, people they’ve ruined. Yes, they are all of that. They are repugnant and debauched, and have no real world accomplishments to their names. Hot air is all they exude.
I completely agree.
IMO all these treasonous B*st*rds from the last 40-45 years have been pulling crap all over the world thinking that the USA SEE-EYE-A were going to cover for their shenanigans worldwide. But the world has gotten tired of it. Now PDJT’s term in office brought out the swamp creatures and it wasn’t just the patriots in the USA that saw it. No, the rest of the world saw it also. Now the decrepit same B*st*rds are unable to run things and appear weak. The world figures that it is payback time. I don’t blame them one bit. What they have pulled on the deplorables wasn’t just here at home, but they did it to the whole world.
Cheer’s Betsy.
Suncor a top oil producer in Alberta recently doubled its dividend to north of 4%, and has been a good investment these last several months.
It may get crushed by Trudeau’s policies once more.
We’ll see.
All the best.
Reality will take over eventually. It won’t be pretty. Enjoy those dividends😉
Biden and Trudeau will never allow those resources to be harvested for the good of Western Civ. At least not as long as the nations of Canada, Mexico, and The United States still hold on to a sliver of Christendom.
Mexico is knee deep in Narco-Terrorism. Sadly, if they had an honest government, Mexico would be a world power given its geography, and natural resources.
Canada, would be immune to the BS in Eastern Bloc and ME if they were governed by anyone other than Trudeau and his “liberal” party. They could sell the US construction materials and oil forever.
And last, but not least, the US. We are just sabotaging everything Western out of spite. If the US truly wanted to form a beneficial alliance with Canada and Mexico, all of North America would never have to worry about a shortage of anything, ever. But, we all know that won’t happen. Can’t let the plebs have peace and prosperity.
Agreed, we often remark that if Japan was endowed with Canada’s resources look out.
With skyrocketing oil prices, those Alberta tar sands become LONG BEFORE electric cars.
Especially with skyrocketing nickel prices, etc.
The Bollywood weirdo’s were just recently protesting that. Something about an Indian Tribe I never heard of.
I applaud India although I know this is not in my self interest.
Not playing the Washington Generals’ losing game might be the only way to win in the long run.
The way this is playing out, I can not blame the world if it declares war on the United States.
My only question is who will sack Washington first?
We have been getting sacked for years and decades, now we are only just seeing things.
The Democrats.
What’s left to sack? Sleepy Joe’s full diaper?
Dems
BLM
The analogy El Rushbo used to give.
.
For the folks in Rio Linda, Rush used to say Republicans ( the Washington Generals ) were like the patsy team that had to loose every game to the Democrats ( Harlem Globetrotters ).
Exactamundo!
Sure miss el Rushbo! RIP.
No country is required to commit economic suicide because Biden and his psychotic crew have ordained that for us.
I appreciate your comment Betsy Jones and agree with it except for one thing.
Biden is not one of us, not really.
Not an average hard working American who loves their country.
I agree, Chloe and I would never say he was one of us. By us, I mean the United States. All his deliberate actions are crushing our economy in preparation for a takeover by the WEF, WHO, and the UN. A reordering of the world we live in. Whether these malignant agencies manage to pull it off remains to be seen.
High gas prices in a vain attempt to “transition” to “greener”, unreliable, and unaffordable transport..and massive inflation killing the middle class as deliberately as could possibly be done. All done with that purpose in mind.
Biden and his masters expect the world to follow. But the BRICs nations it seems are realizing what’s going on (especially the frantic and economically crippling attacks on Russia,which has what these countries need). And they are essentially giving Biden the finger. In other words, why would these nations sign up for something which would economically obliterate themselves?
They won’t…and that was my point.
True, but I don’t see anyone talking the jumper off the ledge.
Nor do I, 4sure. It says a lot that there’s not one in sight. Not a solitary one when there should be so many.
Keeping Russian oil flowing into the world market eliminates spot shortages and lowers prices. India is helping everyone… not named Biden.
What is this thread about?
The fact that India has bought 16 hours worth of fuel from Russia?
What is going to happen for the rest of this year and beyond, do we get a new report every day? Let’s keep it in perspective.
SteveT
I’m really pissed off right now… knowing we are being sold down the river second by second… I have to go to bed tonight knowing that when I wake up tomorrow I / we will be more diminished than the day before.
Everyday i go through this. People keep telling me to Quit watching TV. I reply, I have to know what’s going on in the world! I want to see what’s coming!
To “build back” you must first destroy. Biden is destroying the US.
What Team Biden may find, is that after knocking down the building, his team won’t get the contract for the rebuild.
It’s all demographics. China and India make up 2.7 billion people. The US is third at 0.33 billion, Russia is 10th at 0.14 billion. When China and India realize they don’t need the US -or- Russia to run the world’s economies anymore, that’ll be the end of our reserve currency status.
The US better get its debt in line, because we are rapidly running out of road to keep kicking our cans.
I have a dream that the sanctions on the “important people” (oligarchs, presidents, cabinets, etc.) flying back and forth between BRICS countries and the EU/NATO will eventually hurt all the global bad actors in the pocketbook and take their power away. Then citizens in every country will rejoice.
Despite the pink noise from the globalists, there was a huge rally in support of Putin today in Moscow.
What I want to know is when do we hang the seditious traitors in DC for dereliction of duty, failing to uphold their oaths of office, corruption, and criminal negligence failing to protect the US sovereign citizens? WHEN do we remove them and take our country back, protect it’s borders and do what is best for us?
I recommend that when we do, we either nuke or bleach the swamp that is DC and establish a new capitol city we can be proud of instead of the stinking, nasty morass that currently is claimed as the capitol?
I agree WHOLEHEARTEDLY. DC is infested.
A good way to do that is chop up each section of government and strew them out in different states where they cannot get together at 2 a.m.to pull all their wicked deeds. No coffee and party time together like Piglosi’s Saint Patrick party. Put the worst behaved ones in Barrow Alaska.
No, its not enough to move the Federal buerocracies, geographically out to various states; it is the AUTHORITY that must be moved to the States, where it BELONGS.
NEVER should have been a Federal Dept of Education, thats a STATE authority.
States did not resist as the Federal govt encroached, if they had challenged any of these encroachments, they would win.
Using the Commerce clause, to justify a NATIONAL “Gun free school zone” are you KIDDING me?
We need strong Legislatures, supporting strong Governors, and AG’s to fight the Federal govt overreach.
Disband these Federal agencies entirely.
Well, another fine fix the Democrats are getting us into.
India First. Smart.
India is acting in India’s best interests. The US did that, too, under Trump.
Biden is acting against America’s interests. Or, his handlers are. The outcome is the same.
A rational, patriotic, President, would put America First, instead of Last.
November is the opportunity to change the picture. I’m hopeful it will be an Historic political beat down for the Dems and a House Cleaning for the compromised Republicants and warmongers.
The Republicans as of late have been very disappointing.
I don’t see many honest contenders running for any offices against the ones that need to be cleaned out.
How hard are you looking?
Especially given that you know any true MAGA Candidate is going to have a hard time getting their message out.
In Az. as an example we have Blake Masters running for U.S. SENATE and KariLake, running for Governor, both true maga, all the way.
Ever heard of them? Its quite possible there ARE candidates running in YOUR State, that you are currently unaware of, and so I address this not just to Gardy, but to ALL reading this;
Have you LOOKED for MAGA candidates, both in your district and State, and both for Federal, State and local offices, that you can support with $, or volonteer for their campaigns?
Or, is it more comfortable to sit back and complain “I don’t SEE any good, MAGA candidates?

We all need to be aware of BRICS. In some form it has been around since 2009. Try understanding Ukraine when you have the awareness of BRICS. It will help you see through a lot of things like how much Fox is controlled opposition. I wonder when THEY (Fox) will tell us about BRICS. Thank you, once again, Sundance. 👍💖🇺🇸
After two years of incredible abuse from the media and my government, I’ve finally given up. I’ve accepted the fact that nothing the US gov does from here on out will ever benefit me again, forever. And the media will never do anything other than broadcast exactly what they’ve been told to by any of he four columns of our government.
What gives me hope is seeing the emergence of BRICS, and other alliances, that likely want nothing to do with Nazi Gasbag Klaus Schwab’s “Great Reset.” The more nations that break away from our corrupt system (NATO and EU), the better. Humanity needs more bulwarks against a one-world digital currency, and if it takes BRICS, and the Middle East to lead the way against Klaus, so be it.
KS is the Anti-Christ as far as I am concerned. May he, and his acolytes burn in Hell.
I’ve been seriously wondering if it could be Zelenskyy
Micah 5:5 describes the ac as “assyrian”.
Z is just another toady tool that will eventually be discarded
I was trying to link to your comment and hit the flag by accident! Great comment. I have the same feeling about the BRICS. Maybe they will save us from the WEF.
Actually, I now think WEF and $chwab, and $0r0$ as well, are actually CCP operations, doing things the CCP can not do, directly.
IF PDJT could have had his way without muh russia interference, I believe he would have reconfigured BRICS, substituting the US for CHINA.
He HAD Brazil, he HAD India, couldn’t get Russia cause muh russia, and SA is frankly a lot less important than it was when BRICS was originally formed in 2009, to be a counter to the IMF.
Hear hear . Sad day to see that those in our own government are evil on such a scale that the other world leaders who may be authoritarians or corrupt seem attractive by comparison .
The enthronement of Satan himself has already taken place in the decaying Christian West . We may see the day when the Ayatollas are proven correct that America is the Great Satan .
God help us . I just don’t see any Calvarys on the horizon .
we certainly dont have the moral authority to go around spreading democracy
in fact its interesting that we dont hear those words anymore
That screws climate CONTROL, half the plant will be green, and starving the other will be cooking with gas.
Sundance I’m a huge fan but India burns 5 million barrels a day.
Sundance has printed what’s in the news article. I think many of us are wondering if the AP got the numbers correct. …
India uses 4.5 million barrels per day. Modi is just putting some coins on the pool table to let the other players know he’s there.
https://www.worldometers.info/oil/oil-consumption-by-country/
Agree; this is the most astute observation of all. India just letting the world know they see it’s game time and they’re taking their seat at the table too.
That is less than one day’s supply of oil for India, but the 20% discount is a nice saving for their country. OPEC isn’t going to like that discount, though.
That is quite a mix of governments – 2 essentially democratic and 3 essentially dictatorships. As an economic force, they are to be reckoned with, considering the size of their populations and production capacity, but I’m wondering how that mix of governments will play out?
Oil-producing countries are not beholden to the dollar simply because crude is mostly priced in dollars. Producers can settle their transactions in whatever currency they choose. Frankly, why would you want to amass USD as a foreign country when the US produces so little product for you to recycle that cash into? The problem here is that so much of US manufacturing has been dismantled since the ’70s.
There is a 100% failure rate when countries just print their own money into existence.
However, the idea the U.S. dollar is going to absolute zero is quite unlikely because there will be lots of interventions before they run out of the U.S. dollar begins in a big way and a massive run to gold begins.
Do not panic these events have happened again and again. It is important to know that people can and will survive almost any hardship. The point is to be prepared and has the correct mindset.
That 1973 nostalgia is rolling in. Maybe the Pet Rock will make a comeback too.
The transaction was in rupees-rubles.

Fed hiked interest 25 bps.
America has been poking the Bear since the collapse of the USSR, this action by Russia shouldn’t come as a surprise to anybody.
To be honest, India will be in a world of hurt as the USD loses value, and with the coming food shortages. I worry for India’s people.

The administration seems to think they can just ban other countries from Twitter and that they are then the winners.
The USD is a debt instrument. Every new dollar created is worth zero.
The USD is a dead currency already. That’s a given.
Timing is the issue and although it seems to me the cabal running the western nations, including the USG, clearly seek out and create chaos and disorder as a tactic against humanity in general just as they’ve done with exceptional vigor since a certain day in the late summer/early fall of a year ending in 1.
The lies have now exceeded natural laws limitations and catastrophic consequences ready are anywhere you’re willing to look.
Good luck and God bless.
Yes, USD is a debt based monetary system (it doesn’t have to be that way):
Money as Debt I – Revised Edition 2009 (Full Movie)
Ellen Brown’s Web of Debt is definitely worth a read:
http://www.webofdebt.com/excerpts/introduction.php
“Professor Henry C. K. Liu is an economist who graduated from Harvard and chaired a graduate department at UCLA before becoming an investment adviser for developing countries. He calls the current monetary scheme a “cruel hoax.” When we wake up to that fact, he says, our entire economic world view will need to be reordered, “just as physics was subject to reordering when man’s world view changed with the realization that the earth is not stationary nor is it the center of the universe.”4 The hoax is that there is virtually no “real” money in the system, only debts. Except for coins, which are issued by the government and make up only about one one-thousandth of the money supply, the entire U.S. money supply now consists of debt to private banks, for money they created with accounting entries on their books. It is all done by sleight of hand; and like a magician’s trick, we have to see it many times before we realize what is going on. But when we do, it changes everything. All of history has to be rewritten.”

This what has happened to America- we have been conquered and enslaved by international bankers:
“There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword, the other is by debt”.
John Adams (American president 1797-1801)
Sometimes the truth slips out…
Here’s a scene from the 2009 movie, “The International”. “The IBBC is a bank. Their objective isn’t to control the conflict, it’s to control the debt that the conflict produces. You see, the real value of a conflict, the true value, is in the debt that it creates. You control the debt, you control everything. You find this upsetting, yes? But this is the very essence of the banking industry, to make us all, whether we be nations or individuals, slaves to debt.”
This is why the bankers get us into wars- so we can be slaves to debt:
The Essence of the Banking Industry
Representative Louis T. McFadden (R-TX)We have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board… This evil institution has impoverished .. the people of the United States … and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this through … the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control it.
Thomas Jefferson – I sincerely believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs.
“… The modern theory of the perpetuation of debt has drenched the earth with blood, and crushed its inhabitants under burdens ever accumulating.” –Thomas Jefferson
James Madison History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, intrigue, deceit, and violent means possible to maintain their control over governments by controlling money and its issuance.
Thomas Jefferson If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and the corporations which grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. (in progress)
If congress has the right under the Constitution to issue paper money, it was given them to use themselves, not to be delegated to individuals or corporations.” –Andrew Jackson
“The Government should create, issue, and circulate all the currency and credits needed to satisfy the spending power of the Government and the buying power of consumers. By the adoption of these principles, the taxpayers will be saved immense sums of interest. Money will cease to be master and become the servant of humanity.” -Abraham Lincoln
“Issue of currency should be lodged with the government and be protected from domination by Wall Street. We are opposed to…provisions [which] would place our currency and credit system in private hands.” – Theodore Roosevelt
“When a government is dependent upon bankers for money, they and not the leaders of the government control the situation, since the hand that gives is above the hand that takes… Money has no motherland; financiers are without patriotism and without decency; their sole object is gain.” – Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of France, 1815
http://www.themoneymasters.com/the-money-masters/famous-quotations-on-banking/
I have seen it in writing that Ruhpees/rubles will be the currency exchanges.
The US deserves everything that we have coming. We printed trillions on the backs of the 2nd and third world because we were the reserve currency.
We invaded or instigated wars/coups in how many countries since WWII – dozens. Then we antagonize Russia into invading Ukraine and try to deplatform an entire country through economic threats and bullying.
What sucks is the Bidens, Romneys, McConnells, Pelosis, Kerrys, Obamas, Cheneys, Grahams, etc. won’t suffer when the dollar collapses – just the peasants.
That Great Reset was supposed to be controlled by western banks and corporate interests. It appears that the BRICS alliance has plans to either scuttle it or emerge from the ashes as the clear victor. China is playing both ends ans will be the supplier to the winner. There is too much debt in too many places for there not to be some sort of reset. Some group will come out on top on the other side and almost everyone in the world will lose.
Between the EU and North America we are the wokest in the world and moving fast to be the brokest, in more ways than one. We have an illegitimate government that is no longer of, by and for the people. We are experiencing the global reset. Not sure of what or when but there will be an event where our hearts and minds will tell us it is time to act. We are Trump’s army and God help those who betray us.
That should read Trump’s America First Army.
I don’t know, it is kinda nice to see a photo w/out doddering old fool Joe, Botox Nan, and Heel’s Up. At least these people look semi-healthy w/brains.
That’s a good observation. Talk about a weak dying empire – we have Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, McConnell ‘leading’ is. Except for Harris they are old, weak, and fatally corrupt. Harris is an incompetent moron who seems to be high most of the time.
Our ‘leaders’ show where we are – dying like they are.
This just points out the futility of economic sanctions for the most part. They are a very broad hammer often used when more nuance would work better. Little more than a group of countries attempting to gang up on others through collusion. OPEC never could control oil prices for the simple reason that as control increases the incentive to cheat increases acting as a brake or limiter on the power that could theoretically be achieved. Notice the 20% discount? Russia can sell its oil simply by discounting the price until enough buyers will ignore the sanctions. As the global price goes up, that discount becomes even easier to absorb. Oil is oil, cash is cash. Commerce is gonna happen whether anyone likes it or not just like the sun is going to rise tomorrow.
According to a post on Gab by Kanekoa:
Since I wrote this article two weeks ago:
India purchased oil from Russia using rupees instead of dollars.
Saudi Arabia is working on selling oil to China in yuan instead of dollars.
Argentina, Brazil, China, Mexico, India, Indonesia, Israel, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Pakistan, and the majority of the world have not joined the U.S. and E.U. sanctions against Russia.
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates won’t answer Joe Biden’s calls.
Joe will be remembered for dismantling the U.S. hegemony and giving rise to a multi-polar world.
And, I’m sure it has nothing to do with the multi-billion dollar private equity fund Xi Jinping and the Bank of China graciously gifted his son…
The March 2 article: https://kanekoa.substack.com/p/inflation-de-dollarization-and-russias?
How do you say FJB in the Indian language? Modi knows how!
Modi to Beijing Biden:
So the USA stocked up on Russian Oil AFTER your Sanctions began.
Now that you’ve got YOURS, I’ll be sure India’s people get THEIRS.
$64 question. What do Klaus Schwab and his merry band at the WEF think of the BRICS alliance? I think maybe the BRICS are going to put a spoke in his wheel. Nationalism remains a strong force.
Who can blame Modi? I do not even trust our government, why should he? He has seen how we will throw folks under the bus when we are through with them. Look at Zelensky, who was it in our government that told him we had his back? And here our political Oligarchs have been ransacking Ukraine for how many years? Why should we be trusted to do anything? The world can see the US government is being run by grifters and conmen, they would be foolish to take us at our word, much less assist us.
What’s with the hand holding?
A show of unity and a show of strength together against the enemy. My guess.
The WEF and the like are given too much credit for orchestrating all events. They might have their grandiose plans and operatives politicians. And do immense damage along the way. But every utopian plan in history has had unintended consequences. Including the lack of respect for the cunning and resiliency of their opponents.
Even the response to Trudeau’s malicious over reach is an example. Though he federally still has marginalized the unvaxxed with no end in sight , provincially most provinces have eased up in varying degrees. And most within days of the protest. As well, the opposition leader was dumped within a day or so. Not to mention Trudeau’s humiliation on the world stage. None of that would have happened without the bravery of a very small group of determined protesters.
If the BRICS alignment takes hold, it’s unlikely the new world order will be the kind envisioned by the globalists. The BRICS countries are pragmatic realists, not beholden to fat cat swamp bureaucrats and academics. And they aren’t carrying around a fake burden of guilt about the environment. Or shamed by the virtue signallers.
That narrative plays for a jaded western audience who have never faced the privation felt in many places around the world.
A Pandora’s box of real world surprises may disrupt the ivory tower strategists along the way. However, things may get even more dangerous and ugly if they see they aren’t getting their way. A suicidal, nihilistic disregard for the world not of their liking via nukes and/or more pathogens?
We are in the early stages of this phase of an existential and possibly physical war for the shape of the near future.
To paraphrase, “Clowns to the left, jokers to the right, we’re stuck in the middle.”
Terrific post,
This British Columbian agrees 100%
And just like that, George Soros, the currency trader who literally owns the DNC and Biden’s, makes at least a TRILLION dollars off of the collapse. Maybe now, he will let them stop insane immigration/invasion, insane energy policies, election rigging, etc.
Like Donald Trump says America First! These countries don’t give a damn what the Us or Europe
tells them to do. It’s every man for himself! They have to think of their own country. These damn politicians falling in line with this regime is really disheartening as well.
I think PDJT actually gave them the idea of my country sovereignty and its border is first. I think it was at his first UNGA speech when he praised Poland for holding true to their ideals. WATCH: President Trump delivers first address to UNGA – YouTube

Confirmed.
India has just bought oil from Russia– at a discount (!) AND in rupees-roubles.
This is the real story that you won’t hear on the news.
Global realignment.
2/. We are talking about India, a nuclear power with a population of 1.3 billion, and the world’s 3rd largest importer of oil. The quantity here is irrelevant.
India, like Pakistan, China, and others, is signaling it is not against Russia.
The West =/= the international community.
4/. So far:
-Biden begging Maduro for oil
-The US wants nuclear deal back, UK pays debt, just to get Iranian oil on the market
-Saudis considering selling oil to China in Yuan, not USD
-India buying Russian oil in rupees. Pakistan and EU buy as usual
Not looking great for the US

Once the Dominoes start falling….
They will fall fast.
Out: The Zimbabwe $100 trillion note with the Chiremba Balancing Rocks of Epworth, Harare.
In: The American $100 trillion coin featuring Obama & Biden, $1 trillion/gallon gas, captioned “We Built That!”
I’ve heard the Russians set up their own version of SWIFT with a few international banks several years ago.
Putin anticipated what the West would do.
If /when the US dollar is no longer the world’s reserve currency, it will expose all the US government’s monetary corruption and weaken the government’s ability to steal more.
….and that may not necessarily be a bad thing for We The People…
Bye, bye American pie.
This makes for great PR but when the rubber meets the road BRIC will have its limitations
Good. I’m glad that some nations of the world aren’t being ruined by globalist communism. I wish the BRICS nations much success.
On a more selfish note, I hope the success of BRICS collapses the petrodollar, ruins the globalists’ plans, exposes the WEF members to the public, and thus allows us to eradicate the communist elements from our society and restore our manufacturing sector. Then we can enact some laws to stop this kind of thing from happening again. Call this an open letter to God. I mean, either way, if you’re a westerner, you’re going to hurt. At least let the pain result in something positive for us.
Maybe backed by Gold and not a Rothschild fiat.
