The original BRICS economic alliance between Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa has expanded today. During the summit held in South Africa, the group which is home to about 40% of the world’s population and a quarter of global gross domestic product, voted to accept the applications of Iran, Argentina, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Ethiopia.
What we see forming now is further evidence of the great energy cleaving. As most western nations chase the World Economic Forum’s priority around ‘climate change’, the BRICS alliance hedges for more traditional energy sources (oil, natural gas, coal). China will benefit the most as the Western industrial economies will not be able to compete in a global market using windmills and solar panels.
The western alliance (yellow) will be chasing climate change energy policy to power their economies. The rest of the world (grey) will be using traditional and more efficient energy development. The global cleaving around energy use would be complete.
This is not some grand conspiracy, ‘out there‘ deep geopolitical possibility, or foreboding likelihood as an outcome of short-sighted western emotion. No, this is just a predictable outcome from western created events that pushed specific countries to a natural conclusion based on their best interests.
(New York Times) […] On Thursday, the bloc revealed its decision, adding six new countries, including the staunchly anti-Western Iran, in an apparent victory for Beijing.
The inclusion of Tehran tilts the bloc more in opposition to China’s chief rival, the United States, and signals that Chinese pressure largely outweighed the qualms of India and Brazil, which want to maintain friendly ties with the West.
“Iran, obviously, is a complicated choice,” said Cobus van Staden, a researcher with the China Global South Project. “I can imagine that some of the other members worry that it might increase geopolitical tensions with Western powers, which I think it kind of inevitably would.”
The addition of Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia gives the group more financial heft. It also bolsters Beijing’s bid to demonstrate to the world that it has growing support for its agenda despite having alienated many countries in the developed world over its ties to Russia.
“This membership expansion is historic,” China’s top leader, Xi Jinping, said on Thursday at the end of the meeting. “It shows the determination of BRICS countries for unity and cooperation for the broader developing world.”
China did not get everything it wanted, however. It had pushed for Indonesia to be invited to the group. The reason for Indonesia’s omission was not immediately clear.
Still, the appearance of a success for China may turn out to be the most significant takeaway from the summit, which failed to deliver on the long-stated goal of establishing a BRICS currency to rival the hegemony of the U.S. dollar. The group instead encouraged members to use local currencies in trade. (read more)
The currency issue is likely to be a more complex undertaking as it does not make sense to establish trade in an alternative currency until the arrival of the Central Bank Digital Currencies. The most likely path for global energy trade will be in the form of a digital currency exchange amid the BRICS+ group.
More than 40 additional countries have expressed interest in joining BRICS, say South African officials, and 22 have formally asked to be admitted.
Everything inside this dynamic appears structurally centered on the full cleaving of the energy sector into two bipolar worlds. One economic system focused on green energy policy, the other economic system working via traditional energy development.
What a great topic and a great thread. Thank you for hosting us all, Sundance!
Oh well. Biden is asleep at the wheel. Ukraine is losing the war and the lefties that pull his strings are pouring BILLIONS of US money into a sinking ship. I hope that South Africa comes out of this deal well But I am not holding my breath. China is a plunderer and SA has lots of natural resources which are still untapped.
China is a plunderer? Not nearly what the US is. The whole Ukrainian conflict was the desire of multinational corporations and banks to get rid of Vladimir Putin, break up Russia, and allow the multinationals to plunder Russia as they were doing in the 1990’s. It wasn’t China plundering. It was the US and EU.
Who has been plundering Niger’s gold and uranium over the past 60 years? It wasn’t China. It was France.
Who has been plundering Syria’s oil? The US – 66,000 barrels a day ships by tanker convoys to Israel.
What has China plundered? Where?
Exactly! Well said!
It’s not like there’s some “hand on throttle”, supervison going on. Just stop. Now. Back off, and go from what is in the Best Interests Of the American People. Now.
Where? Right here in the US. They have been plundering our technology for years.
And as far as BRICS goes, I think it will fail much like the EU. Groups like that always end up fighting each other. The only group of many different factions that has endured is the United States. The reason -we have ONE Constitution to govern 50 different states.
“They have been plundering our technology for years”
Indeed…and guess who has been allowing that in exchange for obscenely lucrative kick backs to University Departments, certain politicians and special interests groups?
Europe is europe. They are destined to be dysfunctional. They cannot even cough up 2% for nato. China is a whole nother ballgame.
Discount them at our own peril. They WILL take down the petrodollar. I mean, we don’t even want it.
Our government pays no attention to the Constitution anymore. It may still be important to us citizens but not to the government.
I love people who are informed. The U.S./NATO are the biggest thugs in the world. Just with regard to Niger, the West was compensating them about $11.00 per unit of uranium and selling it for about $270.00 per unit.
Colonialism much!!
plundering or paying for oil from Syria?
Not accurate at all dear.
Remember that the $$ billions being “poured into Ukraine” mostly find their way back into the munitions-manufacturing multinational corporations’ bank accounts of which a significant part is subsequently forwarded back into the pockets of the “war hawk” politicians who pushed and continue to push for war wherever it can be ignited, and who also steer the DOD procurement managers towards those munitions manufacturers.
All one big golden circle. Eisenhower called it the “military industrial complex.” But it’s really not that complex……
Up for some irony?
The majority of TNT supply for our weapon production was in Eastern Ukraine.
In Russian hands now and forever.
Merci, mon ami!
That’s not surprising these days- since TNT (trinitrotoluene) production generates some really nasty pollutants as by-products of the process… Of course they’d rather poison a foreign country than their own backyard….
Here’s an article on what they’ve created to replace TNT….bis-oxadiazole .
https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/research/a21987787/tnt-replacement-bis-oxadiazole-los-alamos/
Great article!
Yeah, 1.5X more powerful than TNT….
Unfortunately I could not find any articles or information within the past 2 years that indicates any advancement of the research described in the PM article. There were a flurry of similar articles written about the promising compound in 2018 and early 2019, but nothing more recent.
Main fuel being fresh human blood.
I agree. I just wish someone would investigate the personal finances of congress. The Turtle, Schumer and the others who have spent their entire lives in DC and gotten extremely wealthy.
Don’t worry about the money! Hunter will be bringing most that back !
Meanwhile
Must be payback for Elon releasing the X files, formally known as Twitter files.
No, it is a warning to him to ALLOW Ukraine to use starlink for offensive purposes or they will come after him even harder.
I wish Elon would cancel Ukrainian starlink and annouce the last trip to the space station.
I’ve always thought it is UNLAWFUL to hire refugees that are NOT U S Citizens ! Has the law changed on that, because Biden has let Millions just walk in? If that’s true, then there surely will not be any jobs left for anyone legal pretty soon.
Yes … the law is being changed before our eyes … why? Because there aren’t enough Islamic refugees providing climate change calculations for Musk’s rocket exhaust.
If they have a “GREEN CARD” they are allowed to work in the U.S. So it depends on the immigration status of legal verses illegal.
Not to mention security clearance eligibility. Some of what Musk does is for the US Government… IN SPACE.
They are playing games. All you need to know is NASA requires US Citizen and a background check even though it’s considered a “civilian space agency.” Musk’s SpaceX is very high tech AND has LOTS of secrets which in some cases may be covered under National Security.
They are grasping for straws which they have completely invented.
Its a shiny object Trying to puff up Musk as anti-establishment.
I think it’s to really put the screws to him. As Sundance has shown us, Elon’s in a tight financial spot with “X”. They want to put as much financial pressure on him as possible to make sure he completely falls in line. These people are ruthless and evil.
Why should he hire illegals for Space X? There are probably many spies who would steal that technology.
just mandate a security clearnace for all employees.
Not hiring illegals and refugees is a damn good method of clearing out the security risks.
Agree 100%
Same ol same ol, Elon pretending to not be backed by Globalists

EVERYONE IS LAUDING ELON FOR HIS STANCE AND EVERYONE KNOWS SPACE X IS A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY

Everything the Elon does to get us into Space and onto other planets is an affront to the DEI practitioners and gives them cause to grieve. Screw them!
Show me those illegals qualifications and I have a piece of cheese from the moon.
People are missing the obvious: This is SPACE TRAVEL and very very high tech with lots of SECRETS involved.
This isn’t McDonald’s. But Musk should respond to this in public “NASA requires US Citizenship to work anywhere in NASA… .you first!”
Trying to separate from Biden and put himself in the good guy camp. Not long now for Biden to go down. Thankfully, good guy camp has already learned Elon is for Elon, he will throw either group under the bus at anytime, pivoting and dodging as he goes.
Cyprus is yellow, but I believe the northern third identifies as Turkish. Is it a solid yellow or a pale version?
“Everything inside this dynamic appears structurally centered on the full cleaving of the energy sector into two bipolar worlds.”
Given the number of countries wanting to join BRICS+, it certainly shows what a farce any kind of world climate scheme like the Paris Accords would be.
As Rush and others described them, they were nothing more than wealth transfer schemes where the US would be the biggest bank. Any other country like the BRICS+ nations would just laugh and ignore it, regardless of what they agreed to.
“Green Energy” is such an absurd misnomer.
NOTHING is green without Carbon Dioxide,
and we need more CO2 and more free market
use of ALL forms of USA energy.
In fact, we must become energy dominant
or lose the USA as designed. It;s binary
and the choice is obvious.
Unless you are a brainwashed idiot, or
a shill of your own enemies !
Correctamundo!
I have been saying this since the CO2 scam first started. CO2 is needed for photosynthesis, which is what plants do that turns their leaves green. In using the Carbon atom the Oxygen atoms are released into the atmosphere. This enriches the air we breathe as animals. We help out by exhaling CO2 back into the atmosphere. It works so beautifully you would think God created all of Nature to enable all of His beings to thrive, or some such, eh? I learned this in fifth grade science class. It is not like this has not been known for a long time. I think my father was aware of this when I told him what I had learned and that was more than 60 years ago.
Climate Change is a big hoax and only a few rich people will ever benefit from the world believing it is actually a problem. Climate Change is real, but it happens twice every year and in no two years does it ever change its basic pattern, unless the magnetic poles make a sudden and radical shift. Many impact events have occcured in the world’s history, but we are averaging over 10 million years between these events. Does anyone buy flood insurance when the odds of a flood catastrophe are over an average of once in 100 years?
Lets lighten up and drill for more Oil & Gas until we find a reliable energy source that proves to be more economical. Exchanging farm land for solar panel farms will get us enough energy for our current needs if we can afford to farm an area of more than twice the land area of California.
Time to discuss who these few people are, who would benefit from the Climate Change Crisis. We would discover that our betters in our Bureaucratic State may be the only real beneficiaries because they produce nothing and expect more tax dollars for their lack of production and growth and this makes them favor the Uni-Party Political Corporations, who specialize in pocketing the lions share of the largess. Please see that the Uni-Party Democraps want to increase the size of Government and grow the market and the Repugs in that gang just like to get the money and don’t care how they get it.
See Sundance’s list of truisms. Reaganite is right and only the brainwashed sheeple could ever believe in “Green Energy”:)
It’s about making the US dependent on China’s export of REEs, nothing more, nothing less.
Face it … We have rejected a God of creation … and now dance and bark at the moon, err the “settled science. We worship the earth. Baal. And in order to PROVE our penance … we are intentionally crippling ourselves. The quack film – The DaVinci Code depicted strange-looking Albino Priests as beating themselves and tightening their cilice … or sackcloth, or hairshirt …
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cilice
We are deliberately going backward and making life more miserable in the West than ever since The Dark Ages. It’s ironic that Christianity is mocked as wearing a bloody spiked cilice … yet are doing the EXACT SAME THING … on a societal level. The so-called “eco” Left are deliberately making our lives miserable by abandoning the BEST sources of energy; fossil fuels and nuclear. This is being done as “religious” dogma. It’s built on fraudulent “science” … The Climate Change Bible. We are sacrificing ourselves as savagely as an Aztec ritual. This is sick. Sick in the head. But I see NOTHING and NOBODY doing anything about it. We are all sleepwalking into the Ovens of the eco left.
Kinda trippy how Adam and Eve ate the apple in paradise before the fall of mankind.

“Russia-socialist dictatorship” – what?
Russia is a democracy, with elections that are much more “free and fair” than the USA.
You can read up on the international observers who go to Russia to check up on their election processes. For example, they use, AKAIK all paper ballots, and no “vote counting machines”. Putins wins elections, and has a current 80% approval rating in Russia, because he does what the Russian people want done, whether you like it or not. In the same way Trump would do for the USA and not care what Russia thinks about it either. Being “Your Country First” is supposed to be the job of every President or Prime Minister, though with the Globalists now at the helm, most of them in the West just do what Klaus Von Schwab etc wants done instead, the needs of their own countries are irrelevant.
As the old sayign goes “He who casts the first stone….”. You need to look in the mirror, stop worrying about what other countries are doing inside their borders. If the people in any or all of those countries want change, it is up to them to decide it.
“the only christian nation left on the planet” That would probably be Russia, Loren, where I’ve read a very high percentage of Russians attend Church on Sunday. Christianity has undergone a big revival in Russia over the last 20 years.
How many in your area attend Church any more? Where I live, Churches are shuttered, fenced off, and the parking lots are empty on Sunday. Most people don’t care, too busy watching sports on Sunday, or whatever, anything but practicing religion. Even if they were all Buddhists here attending a Buddhist Temple, or whatever they call it, it would be a vast improvement over the present evil that is “liberalism” in the West, where they worship a deity who lives in a fire, you know the one I mean.

My oh my how far we have fallen in a few short years. Obama’s dream to make America third world is growing closer every day. The ongoing proxy war with Russia, Blocs of countries banding together to increase their power and influence against the west, the neocon war mongering mindset of the western world, corporate barrons who have no allegence except for themselves and theirs and our money and tyrannic governments seem likely to be precursurs to a coming major conflict of the world war type. We need President Trump like never before.
Remember what is now the USA does not play a roll in the book of Revelations because of either, societal collapse, financial meltdown and the Rapture.

I believe the whole battle is a banker’s war.
It’s about who wrestles control of the petro-dollar. All the alternative energy stuff is complete crap. They know it. It’s just a distraction. Try it if you want, but don’t plan to build or rebuild an economy around it. It’s woke energy and everything woke turns to s#it.
It’s all about controlling the energy and the money used to trade in it.
It’s not the yellow sections against the grey sections. It’s the leaders of the yellow sections (Anglo-American establishment) who have weaponized their power and control of the money and energy markets against the world.
The grey countries have had enough of their rule. With this same yellow leadership group recently turning against their own citizens with Covid hysteria and election fraud, We the People in those yellow areas have had enough too. It’s the “current” yellow leadership against everyone else.
That is the awakening taking place across the globe.
They know it and we know it. Our favorite President’s recent interview getting 237 million views in the first 24 hours is a clear message the entire world knows and are watching closely.
Not sure but maybe this whole BRICS thing is one big pincers move against the yellow establishment. All the grey and the people in the yellow against the corrupt yellow leadership.
Maybe we’ll see President Trump meeting with the leaders of China and Russia soon. Wouldn’t that be a peach!
I disagree with your assessment.
BRICS are countries that wish to remain sovereign governments with control over corporations and banks. They will use petroleum and natural gas to power their industries and manufacturing, to produce fertilizers and agricultural products at a cheap cost to consumers.
The G7 are countries that want money, profits, control, for the multinational corporations and banks that control those countries. The multinational corporations and banks are banded together under the auspices of the WEF, but they intend to control governments and people, whatever the cost. One of their means of control and profit is the “green energy” agenda. The profits from green energy will come in the form of tax dollars and customer higher energy costs to build a whole new energy infrastructure. The green energy agenda will be used to restrict food production and travel.
The upshot to this is that it drives a stake through “globalism.”
The downside is that we’re all going to be collateral damage before it finally dies.
Yes, it’s like the battered wife syndrome. You know you need to get away, but you know there is going to be some pain you confront on your way out.

Buy gold (and silver) for storing wealth against inflation.
Because the new BRICS currency will be backed by gold, the BRICS nations have many many tons in their Central Bank vaults. And the price will be set in Shanghai and Moscow, not NY or London, so the likes of JP Morgan etc won’t be able to artificially suppress the price as they have been doing for decades. The BRICS will set a price for gold higher than what it currently set at im the West, and the worlds gold will continue to flow towards them, not the West.
If you have ever talked to a gold bug, their dream is that “one day, THEY will stop maniuplating the price, and gold will find it’s REAL price at a level much higher than now!”. Well, they are about to get their wish, though not in the way they intended I think. In the West, you won’t be able to sell your gold at a hgiher price to the BRICS and get one of their gold backed currencies, you will just get more pieces of printed paper, backed by the toner cartridge, whose value will be falling by the day, as priced in real goods like an ounce of gold or a barrel of oil.
For portable wealth, if you are planing to flee (where to is the issue), you need diamonds or other precious stones – small and highly valuable, easy to conceal on your person, you can swallow it if you have to to cross a border. Kind of hard to swallow a few pounds of gold, or hide it on your person where it won’t be found by corrupt border gaurds or bandits.

“The BRICS are playing a fundamental role in the geopolitical dynamics […]
The BRICS countries represent 31.7% of the global GDP, 30% of the territory, 43% of the population […], 8.7% of the World’s oil reserves and 25.2% of gas reserves.”

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1694659193846845540.html
The figure given (8.7% of the world’s oil reserves) is wrong. Saudi Arabia by itself controls about 25% of the world’s oil reserves. I am wondering if the figure should be 87%.
Germany is already starting to de-industrialize, and their PM has horrible poll numbers.
Every one of the G7 leaders have very low approval numbers, but they don’t care because they pay no attention to the pesky people.
Green Energy and Climate Change Bulls#it are power and control mechanisms hidden behind the shield of “caring about the planet”.
It’s all fake! Don’t fall for it.
But, knowing it’s all fake, ask yourself who benefits from promoting it? Also, who suffers under that power and control apparatus?
The bankers (operating above the yellow and grey) benefit and We the People in the west (yellow areas) suffer.
It’s the same old game. It’s not about saving the planet. It’s about the corrupt establishment exerting power and control over the people.

The majority wear the masks, take the deadly shots, send their children to public schools and expose them to sexual perversions, refuse to insist on filing criminal complaints, hide behind stupid pseudonyms on blog sites and often do not even vote.

Welcome to the new and improved Axis of Evil. These countries blithly joining Brics will be jolted into misery when they find out that Brics is really China’s Belt and Road initiative writ large.
It will implode but not before there is the final battle between East and West. And that will also signal the end of the proto Communist West’s romance with climate change when they find out that EV Tanks and pronoun armies simply don’t work and that we are losing. I hope we wake up before it’s too late.
The US is building windmills while China is building coal powered power plants at a rate of one per week – what could possibly go wrong for the US economy with this level of ignorant thinking? -(sarcasm)
The US stupidly attempts to lower her carbon footprint in order to offset the carbon footprint of China all the while the Chinese are in full steam ahead mode with respect to increasing their carbon foot print.
The US government is full of morons!
Better brush up on your Chinese, it will come in handy when they take us over.
It’s all voodoo. There are no conclusive studies linking human output of carbon to anything resembling damage to the planet. On the contrary, when a more recent problem of cutting down the “rain forests” (what was wrong with jungle?) we see before us the growth is returning VERY quickly and you know how they accomplished this? Because plants capture carbon and sequester it under ground.
I personally theorize the global greening is capturing carbon from the air at rates faster than we can produce it. The earth is VERY VERY green right now.
These assholes only want you to see one side of the cycle. The other side of the cycle is out-of control green growth on the planet MOSTLY because of conservation efforts of the same or similar anti-human people.
You called it, two camps, the greys in charge, and the yellows subservient and dependent on them for electricity, digital pymts, cell phone service, cars and military weaponry.
Seems the plan is for China to cripple the US by withholding or manipulating REEs, while installed US govt, on every level, makes mandatory everything that uses them.
With the UAE and Saudi Arabia locked in, the strength of their oil reserves to manipulate currency will have most the rest of the world looking the other way.
Except … there is Trump, standing in their way.

Xi is desperate to expand BRICS now to help save his cratering Chinese economy. Too bad we don’t have an honest, competent US President, who is not bought and paid for by Xi/CCP, to protect the USD and disengage further from Xi’s Command/Control Commie economy.
“I Won” was right,… elections have consequences, and stolen ones have even greater problems.
This is not a problem for Davos/Western globalist elite at all! Since their long-term objective is to eliminate the Western Middle Class, lowering Western populations living standards to those of the Third World countries.
First step is health care, that according to the UN should be the same for all 7 billion humans in planet Earth!!! Understand the implications of that for the common Western citizen.
