THE USA VERSUS BRICS


A. Is the USA powerless against the BRICS - the 'alliance' of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa?

Are the Rothschilds and Rockefellers powerless against the BRICS?

B. We assume that China can be put under pressure by the 'organisation' of riots (Chinese riots enter third day).

And India 'kept under control' by people such as 'CIA agent' David Headley.

Perhaps India and China can be persuaded to go to war against each other, thus weakening both?

China is backing Pakistan which is a rival to India. (If India and Pakistan Come to Nuclear Blows, Blame US: Mishra)

Presumably some of the top people in the BRICS already work for the CIA and its friends. ("KASAB WAS INTERROGATED BY HEADLEY")

Note Russia's opposition to Gaddafi. (Russia urges Gaddafi's departure, offers aid to opposition)



C. On 15 June 2011, Russia's General Leonid Ivashov wrote an article entitled BRICS and the Mission of Reconfiguring the World

Ivashov points out:

1. Countries which defy the USA, and defy dollar dominance, tend to be attacked by the USA.

Think of Saddam Hussein's Iraq and Gaddafi's Libya.

2. However, "the financial empires built by the Rothschilds and Rockefellers are powerless against the BRICS."

The BRICS account for nearly half of the world’s population.

Three of them are nuclear-armed.

BRICS "do not appear vulnerable to colour revolutions or to the strategy of provoking and exporting financial crises."

BRICS own vast natural resources.

3. In April 20011, a BRICS summit denounced the use of force against Libya.

4. BRICS should link with Iran, Syria, Malaysia, and Turkey.

There should be a BRICS common market.

And a BRICS shared security framework.

5. Two processes are going on.

On the one hand, attempts are being made to establish a 'world government', run by the 'main financial empires'.

To help achieve this, various crises, armed conflicts, and calamities are provoked.

On the other hand, an alternative world order is increasingly visible - BRICS, along with its potential partner the Shanghai Cooperation Organization.

Ian Crane shares some ideas about why he thinks Japan was targeted.

"Statement by the Press Secretary, Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Japan, on the situation in East Jerusalem, February 10, 20111.

The Government of Japan is concerned about the Jerusalem municipal planning committee’s approval of a plan to build housing units for Jewish people in the Sheih Jarrah of East Jerusalem.

Such act goes against the efforts by the international community to resume the negotiations.

2. The Government of Japan does not recognize any act that prejudges the final status of the territories in the pre-1967 borders nor Israel’s annexation of East Jerusalem.

Japan urges Israel to refrain from any unilateral act that changes the current situation in East Jerusalem."

He links Fukushima to the largest E.coli breakout, resistant to penicillin, in Germany.

It seems Germany has been keeping an eye on world events.

They've also been the forefront resistance against the EU's plan to use GM crops.

Now they're shutting down pre 1980 nuclear plants and winding down the nuclear program.

Has biological warfare been released upon Germany?

Germany and Japan have both voted against Israel. Germany for the first time.

CHINA & RUSSIA TEAM UP

Russia and China grow closer.

Recently, Russia's President Medvedev cancelled the sale of its S-300 missile defense system to Iran.

Russia seemed to be moving towards greater cooperation with NATO.

However, according to Dr. Sawraj Singh (Rising Russian Influence And Declining Americanism Changing World Equations):

"Putin has fundamentally reversed the policies of the Soviet Union and improved relations with China.

"Russia and China have become an unbeatable team.

"The Russian jets stopped the US-Japanese military exercises.

"Countries such as Japan and South Korea have to seriously consider the consequences of taking America’s side in Asia, not only they have to face China, but they have to face the combined might of Russia and China."



China’s Premier Wen Jiabao and his Russia's Vladimir Putin have met seven times so far this year (2010).

Russia has mineral wealth which China wants to buy.

Russia has powerful nuclear weapons and China has lots of cash, making China and Russia a power powerul team.



On 11 December, at Voltairenet.org, F. William Engdahl wrote: Washington's Geopolitical Nightmare: China and Russia boost ties.

From this we learn:

1. China and Russia are to dump the dollar.

They will use their own currencies for their increasing trade.

2. China and Russia have made important agreements on energy and trade.

3. China is keen to get Russian oil and gas.

A China-Russia pipeline is to go into operation by the end of 2010.


America's Heritage Foundation thinks that the power of Russia, China, Brazil and India has been exaggerated (Busting the Brazil/Russia/India/China (BRIC) Myth.)

According to the Heritage Foundation (April 2010):

1. The IMF estimates that, after adjusting for purchasing power, the BRICs collectively are about 15% bigger than the U.S.

However, the US GDP ($14 trillion) is larger than all four BRICs combined ($8.6 trillion).

The BRICs have 15% of the world's economy, while the USDA has almost 25%.

The average U.S. citizen is almost eight times richer than the average BRIC citizen.

2. The BRICS vary widely in terms of their populations and economies and foreign policies.

Russia wants a "sphere of exclusive interests" and wants to weaken American power.

India wants to be friends with the USA.

China has had disagreement with India over borders.

3. China's purchases of commodities has helped South America to grow.

However, businesses in Brazil, and elsewhere in South America worry about competition from China.

Meanwhile, OBAMA may be losing INDIA?

And, Brazil and Uruguay have recognized the state of Palestine based on its pre-1967 borders.

And Argentina has announced the same recognition of Palestine as a free and independent state.

Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay Recognise Palestine State

GANGING UP ON THE USA, IN YEKATERINBURG

Yekaterinburg in Russia

Can we expect the CIA and its friends to take action against India, Pakistan, Brazil, Iran, Russia and China?

In mid June 2009, these countries are meeting in Yekaterinburg in Russia.

The leaders of India and Pakistan are likely to meet at this Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) meeting.

The leaders of Afghanistan, and Iran are also expected to be in Yekaterinburg.

The Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) comprises Russia, China, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrghyzstan and Uzbekistan, with observer status for Iran, India, Pakistan and Mongolia.

Brazil, Russia, India and China will hold a separate BRIC summit in Yekaterinburg, after the SCO meeting. - India, Pakistan leaders may meet at Russia SCO summit

Challenging America will be the main focus of the meetings in Yekaterinburg, according to Professor Michael Hudson, writing at Global Research, on 13 June 2009.

(De-Dollarization: Dismantling America’s Financial-Military Empire)

Among the points made by Professor Hudson:

1. The attendees in Russia say they are discussing mutual aid.

This mutual aid will not involve the USA, NATO or the US dollar as a vehicle for trade.

In 2005 the SCO asked the USA to set a timeline to withdraw from its military bases in Central Asia.

2. The Yekaterinburg agenda is about setting up a new financial and defense system.

At the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on 5 June 2009, Russia's Mr. Medvedev called for China, Russia and India to "build an increasingly multipolar world order."

Professor Hudson writes:

"What this means in plain English is:

"We have reached our limit in subsidizing the United States’ military encirclement of Eurasia while also allowing the US to appropriate our exports, companies, stocks and real estate in exchange for paper money of questionable worth."

3. In June 2009, Medvedev said: "The artificially maintained unipolar system" is based on "one big centre of consumption, financed by a growing deficit, and thus growing debts, one formerly strong reserve currency, and one dominant system of assessing assets and risks."

Medvedev concluded that the cause of the global financial crisis is that the United States makes too little and spends too much.



4. And the USA has very large military spending. It has recently increased military aid to Georgia; it wants the NATO missile shield in Eastern Europe; it is building up forces in the oil-rich Middle East and Central Asia.

5. Successful trading countries like China end up with lots of dollars.

China can use these dollars to buy US Treasury bills.

Or, China can stop buying US Treasury bills.

That would mean the dollar would fall and the Chinese currency would rise.

This would price China's exports out of world markets and hence create unemployment and business insolvency.

Countries like China have been hooked into the dollar system.

Now some of them want to find a way out.

6. Back in 1971, the USA was spending too much on its military.

The US balance of payments was in deficit.

The USA came off gold.

Central banks lent money to the USA and were given US Treasury Bonds.

These loans have been helping to keep the USA afloat.

A very large chunk of Washington's spending is for defence and military operations.

The international financial system is thus organized in such a way that it finances the Pentagon and US buyouts of foreign assets.


7. Now, the SCO and BRIC countries intend to trade in their own currencies.

China has made deals with Argentina and Brazil to carry out their trade in the Chinese renminbi rather than the dollar.

China has made a deal with Malaysia to carry out trade between the two countries in renminbi.

8. The United States is now the world’s largest debtor.

But, the USA has avoided the pain of 'structural adjustments' imposed on other debtor economies.

9. The USA tells debtor economies to:

A. Sell off their public utilities

B. Sell off their natural resources.

C. Raise their interest rates.

D. Increase taxes.

E. Gut social safety nets.

F. Squeeze out money to pay creditors.

10. In the USA there have been tax cuts and interest rates have been reduced.

China was alloed to invest in some dud American companies but was blocked from buying Unocal.

11. Yu Yongding, a former Chinese central bank advisor, suggested that the USA should cut back its military budget.

Since the 13th century, war has been a major factor in creating debt.

Normal peacetime budgets tend to be balanced.

12. China, Russia and their non-aligned allies want the USA to stop living off the savings of others and going in for unlimited military expenditures and adventures.

CHINA, RUSSIA, INDIA and BRAZIL SEEM TO BE WINNING


Photo of Rio by laughlin (http://www.flickr.com/photos/wurzle/831583/).

Who is winning?

Is it China, Russia, Brazil and India?

The rise in the price of oil suggests that these developing nations may be doing relatively well.

Liam Halligan, on 13 June 2009, in the UK Sunday Telegraph, tells us:

Oil prices will be driven by the developing nations

Among the points made:

1. We see recession in the USA and Europe and yet we have high oil prices.

2. The BP Statistical Review of World Energy shows that oil demand in the emerging markets is now greater than in the West.

3.
The USA accounts for around 20% of the world's GDP.

Brazil, Russia, India and China (known as BRIC) now account for around 20% of the world's GDP.

4. Countries with large reserves, like the BRICs, "will be able to stabilise their banking systems, defend their currencies and boost their economies without resorting to yet more borrowing or (even worse) the central bank's printing press."

The BRICs now control half of the world's currency reserves.

Excluding Japan, the G7 nations have only 6 %.

5. In June 2009, the BRICs are holding their own summit, in the Russian city of Yekaterinburg.

If the BRICs decide to lend less money to countries like the USA, "the deepest Western recession in 50 years could get a whole lot worse."
