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.
I believe I read that the RF’s trade within the BRICs block is 70% done outside the dollar, so they are rapidly de-dolarizing.
SD, it occurred to me just before reading your sentence about the CCP profiting from selling crappy solar panels and windmills to the West, all while the CCP simultaneously profits from creating their BRICS alliance, to profit from money-changing.
Western “elites” are such patsies, suckers.
The Western “elites” are not western, hate the west and Christian civilization. So they have infiltrated western gov’t with their agents (and openly gloat about it), are transferring tech, etc. to China via Israel, and making it illegal for “the west” to compete, and denying energy, while BRICs have all the energy, and pollute all they want. “The West” is occupied by the WEF, and the WEF and their agents (look at “Biden’s” “cabinet”) despise white Christian western civ. and are annihilating it, even as they carefully wall off Israel, and are cleansing white Christians out of Ukraine. These are the same bolsheviks that destroyed Russia, wiped out “intelligents” there (Slozhenitsen) including 66 million white Christians, and were bankrolled by Schiff, etc.
What is “RF?” Sundance has explained in previous posts that acronyms need to be spelled out. With the advent of so many acronyms, it is hard to decipher their meaning.
If I am considered ignorant, by not knowing what RF is, as a Treeper, please enlighten me. TYIA (thank you in advance).
Russian Federation I would surmise.
Definitely not common enough to merit use here without defining it.
Thank you, Maquis. That makes sense.
Saudis, we spent blood protecting them and billions of dollars
Spending money in mid east was like sending money to Ukraine. We have all the oil we need right here.
Wonder why the Faux moderators did not ask about this? Murdock memo,” mention it and you are fired.”
Then what did the powers to be do, blame them for their black swan extravaganza. BFF’s one day and kick them to the curb the next. Remember when Carter & Co. screwed over the Shaw of Iran. That one turned out swimmingly well.
Remember when the sheep voted for this guy?
Remember when getting an Ivy League degree mattered?
Barry proved us wrong.
‘Scuse me while I stick my head in the toilet to vomit.
And now Dubya can’t get on his knee’s fast enough. Times have really changed.
Does anyone remember Eddie Murphy in trading places? This question ironically also applies to the Ivy League question below.
One dollar!
” We have all the oil we need right here.”
Not if the Regime restricts opening up the oil fields. Which they have done. And they are and have been shutting down coal mines, and gas pipelines.
The Regime lies about “global warming” when they spend USA dollars to import natural energy from other countries and out of the other side of their mouth they spew this “climate change” nonsense and are on a mission to eradicate gas stoves, air conditioning, oil and gas furnace heaters, and petrol vehicles.
It is a travesty. where are our representatives to stop this BS.
you were pimped out by your country, and tricked into having pride doing it.
its a positive thing seeing the military recruitment numbers decreasing.
You’re hard to follow sometimes, brother, but then sometimes your just nail it.
I blame it on the keyboard – appreciate it
The Saudis were protected to backstop the petro dollar – they don’t owe us anything it was a trade.
We weren’t protecting Saudi Arabia and they know it. We were protecting our petrodollar and oil.
Saddam tries to get off the petrodollar.

How far are they willing to go with trillions at stake? Some skyscrapers in NY? WMDs? A dead ambassador? Tends to lend credence to the saying that all wars are bankers wars.
We propped up their crooked royal family.
China wasn’t going to let Iran join, but Obama insisted.
That made me laugh. Thanks.
I just saw a dozen blue heads explode on that one! 🙂 lol
BRICS is leading some to invest more in gold. So my financial advisor isn’t a fan of investing in gold, or precious metals in general. Not even a modest 20% of your portfolio. I’ve read arguments pro and con. What y’all think?
Ask goldfinger?😳
Random Task-hee!
If I had funds at risk in this insanity I personally wouldn’t hesitate to ensure much of it survived the suicide of the West.
Who wants to try to figure out where to store gold and silver? I put some money into a gold index fund. I have no idea if that was the thing to do so I’m taking a chance obviously.
We should all have a year or two of food storage too.
Such can only be held in one’s home, and I dare say it will be worth more than metal.
We will all be targeted when the invaders are allowed to go hungry.
in a safe…
Bury it in a sealed plastic plumbing pipe underneath the ground.in the garden. Split the stuff up so all is not in one place. And DONT LET ANYONE SEE YOU DO IT. Also put a tarp up to “protect you from the sun” so prying sky eyes cant see what you are doing and do some “gardening”
Why would he want you to invest in Gold or Silver.
He makes no money on that.
An individual I know with a “ few shekels “ keeps between 5 and 10% of this assets in Gold.
Cheers!
Yes, you identified a point I’m aware of with FA’s, or at least mine. Their “pay” is tied to a fixed % of the % increase they achieve for your portfolio. Hence why their hesitation towards precious metals/gold.
But by the point the global monetary system collapses, G7 and BRICS are gonna be irrelevant due to the fallout. No one will be an ally.
Allys will be regional and local – “what does my neighbor have that I need and might trade for?” Geography will reign again….
Yes and unfortunately, in some cases, “what does my neighbor have that I can steal?”
China’s dominos are starting to tip. It is going to get interesting. When covid lock down came, Russia, China, India, Turkey and your middle eastern Countries repatriated all of their gold holdings in the vaults of the Bank of NY as well as the deposits in the Bank of London to their own countries. The private planes sitting at Teteboro Airport having the palates slid onto them was mind boggling.
All those once filed spaces are now empty in both banks, since early 2020. Think about that. Not since before WWII has that happened.
Interesting. Any sauce for that claim?
If you are looking to ‘protect’ your investment, IN ORDER TO “CARRY” IT THRU A BAD TIMES, then perhaps gold makes some sense.
However, its nearly worthless, for GETTING you thru the hard times.
You’ll be offering a krugerand for a can of spam and a twinkie.
For an alternative currency, to get you thru the hard times, I reccomend lead and brass.
Not saying for shooting rape gangs, or deer to eat (although there is always that ‘intrinsic’ value).
I am saying AS currency, to exchange for goods;
-Its impractical to counterfeit.
-Comes in a variety of denominations, and easily divisible increments.
-With minimal precautions it stores indefinetly.
-And, there is a LOT of it in circulation, which will be vital if, as CURRENCY it changes hands several hundred times.
Its even an excellent “hedge” against inflation, and not difficult to find buyers.
I reccomend common ‘denominations’; .22,.9mm,…223 and 12g buck. On the .223, go with BRASS SHELLS, not the less expensive steel ones.
Maybe .306 or 30/30 after you have the others.
“How much for that can of spam, and a twinkie?”
“That’ll be 50 .22’s, or 20 9mm, or 5 12guage.”
I could see it happening,..
i’ve been saying this for a while
plus, if your trading partner turns out to be trouble, the ‘currency’ can be used for self-defense
Amen! And I’m adding to my “fortune” regularly.
Booze and Cigarettes are two more decent barter items
Coffee beans.
I am working on growing coffee plants, in pots under a canopy here in Florida. They said it wouldn’t work. They were wrong. I am not sure how good the beans will be but they will be mine. Growing tobacco might be a good idea.
I know you live in FL. There are other ‘medicinal plants’ you can grow.
And Wacky Baccy! Where its legal.
Can be used for pain. A friend who lives in South Africa where there are no meds/scarce meds takes 2 Tablespoons, grinds them up, into a bottle of gin to steep for 2 weeks. It will turn black . After 2 weeks strain and take 1 tot measure every night for pain ( and sleep!)
Not in this State. Too much mold in the air and humidity to grow it easily. If the mold doesn’t eat your buds the bugs of every type surely will. I tried the medical cannabis system and it is a bad joke/State sanctioned ripoff.
TP…
ATF
Don’t forget the ‘old standards’ .38, .357, .45!
🙂
Currently, jewelry stores will buy gold or silver in reasonable amounts. This might be a way to get some extra cash or to add to your credit card when times get tough. It is a little hard to imagine grocery stores trading food for precious metals, or even ammo for that matter.
Exactly! Most folks have no idea of the exchange rates and equivalents in both silver and gold. Who will accept it when they haven’t a clue to it’s worth?
Bingo on all counts, dutch.
Reminiscent of the stories of post-WW2 European women givng oral sex to soldiers for a bar of soap, food. Horrible.
at least the soldiers knew the “value” of what they were receiving in the exchange
Condoms!
I have a good collection of silver coins
To trade with
You
Better come up with something more then a twinkie and can of spam for my gold. Lol
Silver is more easily convertible. And more ‘usable.’
Small silver coins
I look at metals to rebuild and start a banking system.
As soon as Obama was installed we started with PHYSICAL metals including lead.
Gold and silver have been around for centuries and are still coveted today.
Can your financial advisor best that?
Gold is the money of kings
Silver is the money of merchants
Paper is the money of commoners
Debt is the money of slaves
A good friend told me once
“ silver was God’s gift to the poor man”
God created man – Sam Colt made them equal
Debt is the currency of slaves
Everyone should have some Pms in their possession.
Well, for 20 years or more “gold dealers” have spent hundred$ of million$ in TV advertising hoping to SELL it.
If they believed gold would increase in “value”, ask yourself why they sell it.
It goes up and down right along with your gas and pork chops. Terrible investment.
0.02
Correct. Gold and silver are not the preferred method of investment.
They are however, a way to preserve wealth or insulate wealth from inflation.
Yes Look how FDR confiscated all private gold and gold coins in the 1930s.
If you can reconcile yourself to the fact that PMS are:
Then by all means get some PMs. There’s an opportunity cost for everything.
Commodities, hard assets. Gold is ALWAYS good.
Start stacking
I’m not a person with much but
Most of my savings is
In Metals.
Safety of my wealth is worth even losing money
But as of now I’m pretty far ahead
I started years ago.
perhaps get a second opinion of that of your financial advisor?
At the end of these Wealthion videos they encourage people to stay with their financial advisors if they like where their advice is taking them but encourage people to call the ones they recommend for a free review and session, usually somewhere in the last 4 minutes of their Tuesday through Saturday videos; this one from last Saturday is a nice overview of the previous week’s financial goings on so worth a listen and gives a good idea of what these particular financial advisors are looking at for their clients benefit:
IMO MOST financial advisers are rapacious leeches and scavengers.
I been screwed a few times as widow by them. I knew they got commission but TRAILING COMMISSION?
I had a small investment which never grew after 10 years.
When I really went into it, I found the reason was the adviser obv had taken his commission AND was taking trailing commission. He NEVER told me about that and it was the first time I heard about it. At the time the interest rates in the late 1990s wer around 5-8%. Swine
Dump your financial planner, gold has been used since the beginning of time for Man.
You have to really mess up to get Iran and the Sauds to join forces against you.
The total bullshit climate change scam will be the nail in America’s coffin
It is the nail in the coffin of Western Civilization, sans Russia.
“sans Russia”…
Needed that proviso, Jeff.
Thank you.
God bless, Bet
Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote…
“I have spent well-nigh fifty years working on the history of our Revolution; in the process I have read hundreds of books, collected hundreds of personal testimonies, and have already contributed eight volumes of my own toward the effort of clearing away the rubble left by that upheaval.
But if I we’re asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous Revolution that swallowed up some sixty million of our people, I could not out it more accurately than to repeat:
Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.”
Russia has not forgotten.
I hope, through His mercies and grace, it is not too late for us.
Thank you for this. Another reminder that I need to lay in a hard copy library of Solzhenitsyn, along with some Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy, for the future. I pray that there will be future generations that will need to read it.
Meanwhile, I’ll get started.
You’re welcome, my friend.
Apropos reading for the unfortunate times in which we find ourselves. On the precipice of at least. I never ever thought when we were celebrating a Trump victory that only a few short years later I would be writing something like that.
Bless, Jeff. Stay well, good sir.
The fight, we shall always have with us.
God guaranteed it, when we were driven forth from Eden.
Amen, Amen.
https://hotair.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/1-11.webp
I think people should also add in hard copies of mathematics including algebra and trigonometry, as well as other books such as you mentioned that will be needed after.
I have them, and physics
Some Ayn Rand might be an addition to the library.
And a Bible.
To remember God is humility, from thence comes Grace, and all good things follow.
Something we as a nation are short of. And because of this grievous fault, we are enduring the rancid fruits which have grown out of its absence.
The rotten fruit of the Tree.
He tried to warn us. His book “200 Years Together” still is not translated into English, or published in the US…for a reason.
I am astonished. And yet…
And he said a lot more than that.
Because when everything was lost and nothing was left,
the State usurping all even men’s souls,
Hope lay hidden among the ruins of the New Man,
In that hope some found God,
Looking further they discovered God had never left them.
It is unfathomable to me, and I suspect most, that in spite of the terrible evils men have through the ages committed against their own and God that He has not left us, even as it seems He has done just that. Even more, that He has not withdrawn the gift to us of His grace.
The price He paid in the sacrifice of His Only Son was a price so great, it ensured redemption.
Perhaps We are all He has…
“One” of the final nails….but there’s so many, it’s hard to keep count….
We are pondering Mexico, our daughter lived in Pueblo, south of Mexico City. I think I could live with the corruption, it’s in the open. You just need to grease everybody, right down to the guy who delivers water. It’s kinda nice to not need to pretend. Here in the US it was an epically sad day of pretend.
Agreed!
In the US it is called tipping.
Be sure to tip your Congressman.
No need. He’ll tip himself… at EVERY table.
But first, you have to pretend he’s “your Congressman”. LOL.
If you did not grease you got no potable water. Same with cooking gas, cable, municipal water, documents at city hall, drivers license’s ,on and on.
Enjoy, bye.
I will stay in the only Constitutional Republic that guarantees citizen rights over government and work to remove the corruption ands restore MY country to it’s lawful Constitutional origin (while removing the 11++++++++ Amendments as unconstitutional making them null and void).
Please fill out and sign all paperwork relinquishing your citizenship. Don’t forget the witness copy.
“Should look forward to a time, and that not a distant one, when corruption in this, as in the country from which we derive our origin, will have seized the heads of government, and be spread by them through the body of the people; when they will purchase the voices of the people, and make them pay the price.” – Thomas Jefferson
“If ever this vast country is brought under a single government, it will be one of the most extensive corruption.” – Thomas Jefferson
“Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct.” – Thomas Jefferson
“Who will govern the governors? There is only one force in the nation that can be depended upon to keep the government pure and the governors honest, and that is the people themselves. They alone, if well informed, are capable of preventing the corruption of power, and of restoring the nation to its rightful course if it should go astray. They alone are the safest depository of the ultimate powers of government.” – Thomas Jefferson
“Time indeed changes manners and notions, and so far we must expect institutions to bend to them. But time produces also corruption of principles, and against this it is the duty of good citizens to be ever on the watch, and if the gangrene is to prevail at last, let the day be kept off as long as possible.” – Thomas Jefferson
“The people are the ultimate guardians of their own liberties. In every government on earth is some trace of human weakness, some germ of corruption and degeneracy . . . Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone.” – Thomas Jefferson
“The first consideration in immigration is the welfare of the receiving nation. In a new government based on principles unfamiliar to the rest of the world and resting on the sentiments of the people themselves, the influx of a large number of new immigrants unaccustomed to the government of a free society could be detrimental to that society. Immigration, therefore, must be approached carefully and cautiously.” – Thomas Jefferson
‘The reason that Christianity is the best friend of government is because Christianity is the only religion that changes the heart.’ – Thomas Jefferson
“When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil.” – Thomas Jefferson
‘I think myself that we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious. Government big enough to supply everything you need is big enough to take everything you have … The course of history shows that as a government grows, liberty decreases. The two enemies of the people are criminals and government, so let us tie the second down with the chains of the constitution so the second will not become the legalized version of the first.’ – Thomas Jefferson
Thank you, Libby
With the federal raid on Mar-a-Largo all bets were off. We are pondering, not leaving. We throw sand, we educate, we live our best life, daily. It’s prudent to have a plan B. The Treehouse is for continuous education. Your response is well written and duly noted. I have had a most excellent life, however, it’s because I have always had a plan B.
Look at a Central American County or someplace like the Philippines or Thailand, Mexico, the entire Country, is becoming as dangerous if not more so than any Blue City in the US!!! 😬
You know nuttin’ of what you dribble…sad. Mexico has cleared up many of the issues concerning corruption. Safer than all big cities in America. Especially the Yucatan states…
I understand, but where can you really run when the only truly free country is under attack and everyone flees?
People flee here, but then where?
I will not leave.
I love my Second Amendment too much to even want to leave. So I must fight for it.
“Driven from every other corner of the earth, freedom of thought and the right of private judgment in matters of conscience direct their course to this happy country as their last asylum.” – Samuel Adams
“Our contest is not only whether we ourselves shall be free, but whether there shall be left to mankind an asylum on earth for civil and religious liberty.” – Samuel Adams
I love my country. I enlisted and had to get parental permission to swear in at 17. I swore the oath to my countries founding Constitution to protect it from all enemies foreign and domestic. And I took it to heart.
Truly, right now, OUR federal government is fraudulent and unconstitutional. Pennsylvania did not follow the State’s or the country’s Constitution for the election when they changed the election modus operandi without following the lawful method to change it constitutionally. That is just one example of the truth of the unconstitutional elections and government.
There is NO LAW as the Constitution is that framework. This is why they cannot remove or suspend habeas corpus. It removes the very authority of their office as it requires the Constitution.
When they remove it, they remove their power that they could lay claim too lawfully, even if in treason and in need of removal.
I’ve always looked for an exit strategy before walking thru the front door
That was some species of patriotic virtue signaling.
What are you really trying to say, LuLu?
Mexico has voter I.D. USA no. Paper ballots. Single day voting. Mexico has a good constitution . Viva.
https://www.britannica.com/topic/Constitution-of-1917
The “mordida” is out in the open and not hidden at least you get some value.
Buckwheat I like your plan B.
It’s never a bad idea to have real alternatives, even if you never use them.
Agree with your high level assessment of Mexico. I have spent many weeks there, however, all on vacation. But talked to many locals.
My biggest concern is personal safety. There are definitely many areas you don’t want to be. However, it s a huge country, so one would figure there must be a few places that would be ok.
Regardless, at the current rate of border crossings, USA will be known as North Mexico
When I lived in Mexico form ´02 to ´03 it was like that. I lived down there a few months this year and they were shocked that I used to have to tip the mailman and garbage service to get them to serve me. Despite the obvious with the cartels, their society is becoming more honest and you are right about corruption being out where it is seen. Here in the U S we have a high level of hidden corruption
We tip the trash men only when they take away an old appliance or unwanted items. They collect trash 3 days per week. For a grand total of 18 USD per year. Was 12 dollars 4 years ago!! Inflation is everywhere. Gracias Dios. Viva Mexico
Adios muchacho.
Corruption is not everywhere in Mexico. The tropical areas are very safe with Catholic family values. Greasing the water guy??? Lol…lol…it’s called a tip for carrying t gallons into one home. 30 pesos. Trash collection us approximately $ 18 USD. PER YEAR. VIVA MEXICO
I don’t think there is anywhere to go, now. They are everywhere. And they are ginning up so much anti-White/American hate, that I doubt anywhere will be safe. But if I were going to go, now would be the time.
The Liberals are currently enjoying a heaping helping of what they have been voting for:
Green = inflation; especially food, gasoline and electricity
No Borders = 5 -10 million additional illegal aliens
Bail Reform = muggings, theft, assault, shootings spiraling
If I may suggest, over 90% of the USA is still very livable, just avoid the Democrat S#;+Hole counties
Costa Rica?
I found this interesting.

This is The Pretenders against The Adults.
Russia is the sane man of Eurasia.
America is not particularly well at the moment.
Putin is WEF, controlled opp., it’s all theater. An “Orthodox” priest there just “blessed” a new statuse of Stalin they unveiled. The USSR is taking off the veil.
I call bullshit.
Deep too.
I would frame it as the followers of Christ versus anti-Christ.
I would absolutely agree.
Granted this is about energy, any countries that are major energy producers, or frankly very dependant on energy, are being driven to join BRICS+, as a defence against the WEF’s war on oil.
BRICS was originally set up, more as a FINANCIAL alternative to the World Bank and IMF that were dictating terms to “”3rd World countries” for ‘development loans’ as they were dictating terms that were,…unappealing.
Also note, if you made a map of the World, where medications require a Dr. Rx’s, as in the U.S., Canada, EU, etc. and colored them yellow, and countries with no such requirement gray, it would look almost identical to the map Sundance has posted.
Funny that Big Pharma is aligned with the war on oil, as many of the chemicals used to produce Pharmacueticals, are derived from oil.
The Republic of Texas should make noise about joining BRICS. That would put things in a fine tizzy for a minute or two.
Only if you all can keep your Democrats down….
Hey Jeff, did you realize that even with a Republican Congress in Texas it is still being run by the Democrats?
I was a little surprised to see it seems you do know.
Then add in that Dade Phelan(R) [LOLZ(U) ] has been placing Democrats as head of committees which has gotten us nothing of what we requested.
That does not take into consideration the government with in the government of Texas.
Yes, and I highly recommend the doco that I think goes by “The Great Texas Heist”, or something similar. Just the mere fact of Ken Paxton being impeached raised my radar to go looking for Who’s Messing With Texas.
Hence the Rockefeller Petrochemical Pharmaceuticals that replaced all the old natural drugs that have been made “illegal” by the corrupted fraudulent federal government.
Monopolies NEED government threat of force and coercion.
It’s not a general War on Oil, it’s a War on Oil for You.
The First Principle at work here is Zero Sum.
Like the same zero sum they’ve been pushing for the world population since at least the 1970’s.
Same people forcing compliance of slavery onto the masses who “Will Own Nothing And Be Happy”.
The Yellow Team will use censorship and travel restrictions + new communicaiton blackholes to block all awareness of how the Non Yellow Team is living.
then they will lie, and say its a war torn as Ukraine right now.
The future on this path is Totalitarianism like North Korea.
Our founders with the 2nd amendment ARE THE ONLY reason we arent there yet, and its taking longer to perfect.
Its the bill gates digital id and cbdc we need to stop.😳👀
Cause THAT is how they intend to deal with 2A.
NOT with house to house gun confiscation; they just freeze your ability to engage in commerce, until you surrender your registered guns.
Telling them your boat sank, with all your guns won’t work, cause they don’t CARE.
Universal Biometric I.D.’s and CBDC’s must be one of our lines in the sand, cause if they institute them, they can circumvent 2A.
then they should raid the local water, food, energy, clothing places.
to survive.
Universal Biometric I.D.’s and CBDC’s must be one of our lines in the sand, cause if they institute them, they can circumvent 2A.
How do you propose we fight that? Are you aware of a way this can be done? If so, please share because I don’t think it is a matter of just saying NO.
That’s rally easy if you correct the USA fraudulent unconstitutional government by removing all their corruptions and restore the Constitution to it’s origin.
“When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil.” – Thomas Jefferson
And the UNDRIP being deployed against Canada and NZ.
Prepare for the coming collapse of the US dollar. 2024 is going to be a shit show.
Which is the crrated crises they will use, to TRY to scare/force acceptance of Biometric I.D. and CBDC.
They will SAY the crises demands it, and its the ONLY way for them to gain control over the economic collapse.
Do not comply.
Burning a $1 or a $100 bill provides the same BTUs for warmth on those cold, winter nights.
Never gets cold in the tropics! Gracias Dios

Is OPEC still a thing, or is it separate from BRICS?
Seperate, but given that any major oil producing country, now knows they are in the crosshairs of the WEF’ers, they are pretty much all there.
BRICS expands it, to include those countries that are major oil CONSUMERS, like India and China, and that reject the GND globull b.s. cause if WEF takes out the oil producers, the oil consuming nations are screwed, too.
Thanks Dutchman, that’s what I thought.
Posted last thread, with these new members it brings BRICS countries to 80% control of petroleum world wide.
China’s OPEC
And we will buy our green energy products from BRICs.
This is BRICS against the 5 eyes alliance (combined communications treaty) not just the SWIFT system for cross border payments. BRICS challenges revenue stream on the Bank of England, Fed Reserve and BIS which is the funding vehicle of the Western Surveillance State.
Pffft. The BRICs are just being allowed to humiliate and destroy the west. They are also in the satanic fold, managed by the same agents.
Keep an eye on how the Stupid Woke CEO’s of The West try to tamp down the price of gold https://www.monex.com/
So hypothetically, if you were the head of state of a large economic country with deep resources in oil and gas and if your orders and real intention was to destroy your country what would be the two biggest and fastest ways to do it?
1) Move quickly away from an abundant, highly efficient and low cost energy source to a very inefficient and high cost energy source.
2) Spend as much money as you can to drive your country deep into debt and thus destroy your own currency.
Hmmm…………………
Another way to word it is we are in an economic war and POTATUS is funding the enemy
yes. your government has identified you as a threat to their existence and growth.
we must be offset and/or eliminated
the win is Methods that decentralize the comm and the power
For example – a state with a needed facility. has that government take it.
STEP ONE: It is NOT “your GOVERNMENT”. These people are illegal occupiers, engaged in warfare that we are just beginning to grasp.
New acronym alert – WROTW – Whole Rest Of The World.
All of it goes back to Henry Kissinger, IMHO… he talked Nixon into getting us off the gold standard and then he pushed for opening trade relations with China. So many people used to admire him but as time has gone on, I think his true colors have been revealed and it is not good, to say the least! So many things happened in the mid-70s- the oil crisis, the wars in the Middle East, the ascendence of the Federal Reserve and the genesis of the destruction of the United States military. Also, the beginning of the major influence of lobbyists in Washington DC, which is the major issue that we are dealing with in so many areas right now!
Kissinger is cabal.
No doubt!
So is everybody in the administration. JMO
or pro another country
Kissinger also created WEF via his protege Klaus Schwab.
So he opens China, then sets the West on a path of self-destruction that only benefits China.
China’s doomed due to demographics. The future is for those that show up and China is aging the fastest in recorded history. Their debt fueled tyrannical dictatorship is in decline even though they are putting on a good face. This could be dangerous short term, but long term China like Europe is a dead empire due to demographics.
Socialism always fails.
It’s actually a function meant to allow more government control for complete tyranny of the masses by self inflicted democide.
but they still value merit
Putin Finally Gets It!
In many ways Putin telegraphs to Washington irresolution, confusion, weakness, and unwillingness to get the job done. Putin began his limited special operation before he had made the necessary military preparations, and Putin has had to fight most of the war with a small private army (until recently) known as the Wagner Group. Putin wasted eight years permitting himself to be deceived by the West about the Minsk Agreement while Ukraine, but not Russia, built up a large army.
Col. McGregor believes that finally Putin is shedding his delusion that the West is capable of reason and willing to work together for a common good. Possibly the Russian intellectuals, many of whom are more pro-American than pro-Russian, have served as a constraint on Putin, boxing him in between themselves on one side and patriotic Russians on the other, a lose-lose situation in which Putin can satisfy neither party. McGregor says Putin is building an army of 1.2 million, a sizable force that will make it clear that neither Ukraine nor NATO can prevail in conventional war with Russia.
If Putin had raised an army a decade ago, there never would have been the US orchestrated Maidan Revolution that set the conflict in motion. Putin’s limited vision is the source of the conflict. Is Putin too liberal to be an effective war leader?
My own experiences with the Russian intelligentsia convinced me that many of them, and perhaps most, are susceptible to American propaganda because of their experiences with communism and prefer acceptance by the West over Russian sovereignty.
Washington will send weapons to Ukraine as long as Zelensky will sacrifice Ukrainian soldiers, and, awaiting in the wings, are Polish troops and Poland’s design on Western Ukraine. And perhaps also a brewing conflict between Belarus and Poland.
Unless Putin does amass the forces necessary to quickly take Kiev and Odessa, cut Ukraine completely from the Black Sea, hang Zelensky and his Nazi government, and install a Russian ally in office in Kiev, the conflict is definitely going to escalate into a wider war with all its dangers, unless, of course, Putin surrenders and accepts another worthless agreement.
https://www.unz.com/proberts/is-putin-finally-understanding/
A charitable mea culpa from a questionable source – “I’m finally getting it, so Putin must just be finally getting it, too.” I can’t bring myself to get over Unz’s inbuilt bigotry and prejudice. Just my opinion, but then, I question everything.
Cheering on war hawking, from the other side.
Yeah, I’m not seeing much value added from that guy’s spin.
Putin will do what the WEF tells him to do.
Funny you…..
Does this mean they won’t accept US Aid in Dollars?
That probably depends on the strings attached.
It doesn’t matter because the USA takes loans from foreign countries to give them that aid, which is often in supplies and products.
The horses got out of the Monroe Doctrine barn quite a while back.

Russia is also occupied. You think those bolsheviks all just went away somewhere?
Go away, comrade.
She holds Rachmaninov in her mind, and has enough left over for a Handel encore…
Good for them. The US has used the petro dollar to wage wars all over the world and to subsidize lavish consumerism while other nations live with very little.
With the addition of Iran and Saudi Arabia, BRICS will control 80% of petroleum production.
Also, the amount of natural resources in these countries is astronomical. The top ten countries in terms of dollar value of natural resources:
#1 Russia – $75 Trillion
#2 US – $45 Trillion (90% in timber and coal)
#3 Saudi Arabia – $34.4 Trillion
#4 Canada – $33.2 Trillion
#5 Iran – $27.3 Trillion
#6 China – $23 Trillion
#7 Brazil – $21.8 Trillion
#8 Australia – $19.9 Trillion
#9 Iraq – $15.9 Trillion
#10 Venezuela – $14.3 Trillion
Total for BRICS with new additions – $181.5 Trillion
Total for western powers US, Canada, Australia – $98.1 Trillion
So, it’s game over for stupid American Dumbasses, with US dollars in their hands?
Hey Sundance, that really wasn’t the case under President Trump, he was pushing and SUCCEEDING in the full spectrum energy dominance policy to the point he had the Saudis and OPEC on the verge of collapse!!! It is only this illegitimate regime that has tried to go into full break neck speed towards the WEF model!!! 😑
Sundance knows, he’s been on the leading edge of Trump’s MAGA Revolution from the beginning.
Only President Trump can return us to that and beyond.
PDJT will engage with the new multi-polar world to ensure we don’t go under.
This illegitimate regime is more interested in running the World as envisioned by the WEF, than running a nation and taking care of its people. Trump saw that as “bonkers” as do Putin, Xi and the rest of the Global South.
The “penny has dropped” for some, take it from Fiona Hill, John Bolton’s former assistant:
“Russia and the Rest against the West”
Glenn Greenwald calls that the most important US foreign policy speech in decades.
They “claimed” DJT would destroy the reputation of the US and plunge the world into a nuclear war. It is just amazing that they always accuse DJT of doing what they themselves are doing. Everything the Dems & Deep State/MIC does now comes with massive “blowback“. They have entered a “positive feedback loop” that has created a domestic and international HURRICANE of epic proportions and everything they do to stop it only feeds the storm. This is why the West used to at least try to have somewhat honest elections, because the population could tell long before the elites that things were going off course. Now that the Western elites have sealed themselves off, in a Liberal progressive bubble/echo chamber, they are immune from any feedback whatsoever.
I guess those BRICs nations just want a chance to be modern too… and rule the world. Congratulations American government/industrial thugs! You have given them a reason to unite against us with your greed, arrogance, and endless wars. It seems to be a time to divest from dollars and into more flexible commodities like ammo and precious metals.
The BRICS nations have no desire to rule the world. They want to be allowed their sovereignty to determine their futures. But the western nations have used the dollar, petrodollar, and the Euro as weapons against the rest of the world.
Individually, a single nation cannot fight against the weaponization of the dollar. Saddam Hussein tried it. Muammar Gaddafi tried it. By uniting as sovereign nations they have the ability to develop outside of the restrictions and confiscation and sanctions that the western nations have used for so long to manipulate other nations and to profit from their resources.

60,000 children “missing” in Ukraine. Children are “the elites” new currency. Guess why?
Seems to me more like the gathering of nations prior to WWI.
Of the six new members, four are Middle Eastern countries. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Iran are major oil suppliers and members of OPEC, which cooperates with Russia in setting output levels. Egypt is a rising natural gas exporter.
China is a major investor in all four, but has developed the most extensive bilateral investment ties with Saudi Arabia. Russia has made substantial investments in Egyptian natural gas, but the UAE is the largest regional destination for Russian direct investment.
What China and Russia are engineering is a new Eurasian-led world order to isolate the United States and eventually peel off its leading Middle East energy-producing allies followed by European and Asian allies. Corraling major Middle East energy producers is a major foundational step in this direction.
The word “liberal” is being stripped from the world order.
It’s really disturbing to me that I live in a country on the insanity side of this equation.
China paid good money to buy the western elites, and they are getting every penny’s worth
Well yea, because the club has signed everyone up for gross and criminal maleficence, with some dereliction of duty thrown in to boot.
This is about burning our the house to the ground in order to put a boot on our necks.
Write the Aussies off. They are so busy serving themselves up to the wolf with the red roses, they are passing up the roos.

Ethiopia is the worst of the worst. Ask any born African what they think of Ethiopians and it would make a K7an picnic sound like a SPLC meeting. They are hated.
We’re so screwed.
These developments are definitely not good, especially at a time when BRICS + see a completely corrupt banana republic here. Oil will be going through the roof (already at $83 – 86 a barrel) and where will the USA be obtaining oil? How will we pay for it? If the seller wants payment in rubles?
Long live Traditional Energy. Eff these “American” pros flouting Chinese initiatives for windmills and solar panels, which they (China) constructs and then sell to us, tariffs included, which are not even biodegradable when they wear out. They are HAZARDOUS WASTE. THEY WILL contribute to harming the land, sea, and air.
Don’t forget to thank your favorite Biden voter for this disaster. It’s easier to fool someone than to convince someone they have been fooled, right commiedems?
Anyone hanging the Argentina albatross around their necks is in for a world of hurt. Same for South Africa. This is just a pack of grifters looking to grift – not a stable partner among the whole lot.
They are all looking for bailout. Good news they are no longer demanding Uncle Sugar still play this role.
Green Energy equals poverty level subsistence living for the majority of Americans. The wealthy elites will have diesel CAT gensets powering thire homes and yacht clubs while you and I are peddling a Gilligan’s Island bamboo bicycle with a tiny generator to power our transitor radios.Add in 50 million 3rd world dregs and America will be one giant violent shanty town were people fight over chittlins.

Where’s my red “you are here” dot?
The overarching background theme is not CBDC, but “currency” based on commodities, ‘hard value,’ not speculative combined with using something other than USD.
Bank on it long term! It will draw ‘interest.’
Are there BRICS funds available to invest in?
There are no BRICS funds yet. They will be discussing a currency at their meeting next year. Right now as much as possible, they are using national currencies as payment for imports.
