BRICA
The real story is the imminent financial crisis in the United States and Europe. A vast holocaust of financial depletion, of corporate and banking interests pillaging of the public resources, squandering it all on speculative "investments" that are today's secondary "markets", or "bets" not backed up by actual real property, commodities, business, or real estate. Puts and calls, covered shorts and longs, all put in place under computer programs for milking "income" out of the markets. "Derivative Markets".
How much longer can we keep this bubble economy pumped up.
We already have more "soup kitchen people" today that in the depths of the Great Depression. Yep. All the folks on "Food Stamps", all the welfare people. All the people who have no farm to work on, where they can grow their own potatos, tomatos, beef, and grain. . . . all the people who have been displaced from menial and skill-less jobs by slaves imported from Mexico "working under the table" so their employers don't have to pay social security, medicare, and income tax withholding, while sending their kids off to public schools and freely using our medical facilities. People Mexican Government officials wouldn't do anything for.
Plus, our "military industrial complex" folks are hankering for more orders for bombs and planes, of every kind.
Meanwhile, a portion of the world is choosing to opt out of this systemic insanity.
Brazil, Russia, India, China, Argentina, and some others. . . . BRICA
Are working towards moving away from US Dollar dominated business transaction, and putting money into infrastructure rather than just buy US "investment" positions, reducing holdings of US Dollars, building reserves in gold and silver, do "oil business" outside the US dollar dominated banking system, and such. Just ahead of an impending IMF move to substitute "IMF drawing rights" for US Dollars, a step towards a western-controlled international currency.
Let the US waste itself in the Mid East. . . . China and Russia and India are waiting for the invitation of the "burned over region" to step in and restore order.
The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry. . . . in this case, what's not working in the CFR playbook is the frightening strength of US conservatives who are no longer in an unquestioning frame of mind, no longer being led by mainstream media propaganda. Another thing that's not working is some countries who are informed and rejecting the US/British models of "world government", and are going to acting otherwise than instructed.
Putin is not going to start a war, but he is no longer Armand Hammer's leige errand boy either. The thing that is different about Russia is "independence", after all these years, from puppeteer western schemers. Putin does not have to start a war, all he has to do is stand his ground while we implode.
Western warhawks listening to the likes of Karl Rove and Zbignew Bryzenkie will try to rattle us into another stupid war if they can, but the fact is, we're broke.
So it's off to war we go, once again. . . .
but today we have to buy our military equipment parts from suppliers in China????? And we're broke?
