Russia’s response to U.S. sanctions
We begin with Russia, because of its current military position.
As we noted earlier, the cartel got a rude surprise when Vladimir Putin took power in 1999 and began dismantling the matrix of private corporate control established by the financiers’ chosen oligarchs under their yes-man, Boris Yeltsin. As Russian Defense Minister General Sergei Shoigu noted in a September 22, 2019 interview:
Following this shock, and in defiance of the best efforts of the cartel to undermine Russia’s major source of international income—oil—by having the Saudis flood the market to drive prices down (a continuing issue) and by imposing various sanctions, Russia will surpass Germany and the UK and become the world’s fifth-largest economy as early as 2020.49 The sanctions also have had a positive effect on Russian agriculture. In 2018, Russia sold more wheat than any country ever has, surpassing the previous peak achieved by the U.S. in 1981,50 and is expected to lead the world in grain exports in 2019, for the third straight year. Russia is now earning some $20bn a year from grain exports—more than it earns from arms exports.51 Russia has also made a commitment to organic foods, rejecting the cartel’s genetically modified and carcinogen-laced crops.52 Nevertheless, the imposition of illegal53 cartel sanctions continues to expand, based on a variety of factually unsupported claims.54"The process of recovering our common sense began in 1999. From that moment we have fought for all we are worth through difficulty and hardship to reach a situation whereby today the world has, nevertheless, ceased to be a unipolar world."
The Russian manufacturing sector has also benefitted from sanctions, including 2.6% growth in January 2019, and 4.1% growth in February 2019.55 Russia’s commercial aircraft industry has also received a boost. The MC-21—which will compete with the Airbus A320 neo, Chinese Comac C919, and the troubled Boeing 737 Max—was originally designed to be powered by Pratt & Whitney engines and to use only 38 percent domestically produced parts; now, it is being stocked with Russian PD-14 engines and will be 97 percent comprised of domestically produced parts by 2022. This will also enable Russia to sell the MC-21 to Iran, which is blocked by U.S. sanctions from purchasing Boeing and Airbus liners.56 Sales of Russian military equipment are also up despite sanctions:
"Exports of Russian weapons and military hardware have been growing. This year, we completed orders worth a total of $13 billion. That's $2 billion more than in the same period last year. Russia's position on the global arms market is strengthening despite the increased sanctions pressure and unfair competition." —Vladimir Putin, December 20, 2019
All of this growth is punctuated by the fact that Russia’s Gross International Reserves (GIR)—i.e., gold and currency—now surpass its debt, essentially providing a stout, first line of defense against U.S. sanctions.57 In fact, the Central Bank of Russia’s (CBR) GIR has topped the $500 billion mark for the first time since 2014, when it plummeted after shoring up the ruble from U.S. sanctions and currency manipulation.58
The same projections also indicate that China will surpass the U.S. within the next year as the world’s largest economy, when measured by a combination of purchasing-power-parity (PPP), exchange rates, and nominal gross domestic product. The top five economic powers are rounded out by India and Japan. The top ten also include Germany, Indonesia, Brazil, Turkey, and the UK. A recent PwC white paper projects that by 2050, China will account for 20% of the world’s GDP, and that India will be the world’s second largest economy.59 In his 2019 year-ending speech, President Xi Jinping stated that China’s GNP reached $14.37 trillion, essentially equivalent to that of the U.S.
Russia’s own central bank is a major nemesis
During the Russian Revolution, before the Bolsheviks took power, the Provisional Revolutionary Government, led by Kerensky, established a publicly owned central bank. In response to this, the Anglo-Euro-American banking cartel funded Lenin and the Bolsheviks, to overthrow Kerensky.60
Thus, the so-called socialist experiment began with a central bank controlled by the capitalists, a hindrance that continues to the present, with Russia’s central bank often working in opposition to Russian sovereignty. From October 1917, the cartel-controlled central bank of Russia has been a tool for the financiers to profit on the development of Russia’s natural and human resources. Indeed, the western banks funded Soviet five-year plans and financed their implementation.61 This means that a substantial portion of productivity was being wasted on interest payments.
However, Russia’s central bank, now appears to be moving in a new direction, with the bank’s current strategy of dumping U.S. Treasury Bonds, buying gold, and shutting down private banks, fully aligning itself with the Kremlin’s objectives,62 despite the objections of the financiers and their corporate media. So, while Russia’s central bank operates within the rules of the World Trade Organization (WTO), applying capitalist economic and accounting practices, it is also influenced by the Kremlin’s objectives of independence from the cartel. As of April 2019, due to high reserves, budget surpluses, and low inflation, investors are eagerly lapping up high-interest Russian bonds denominated in free-floating rubles (Russia abolished the ruble peg to the dollar in late 2014).63 Russia has also moved to denominate its debt in yuans, which is a small but important step in moving away from Federal Reserve Notes.

Russia, China, India, Turkey, Iran, and Venezuela ditch FRNs
As the cartel has demonstrated, basing a currency on a commodity, such as gold or oil, provides leverage within a privately owned financial system. Given the present interconnectedness of the world financial system, the creation of an alternate system of value is not something that can be created overnight. However, there are certain efforts afoot that indicate a significant measure of international resolve in this direction.
A major component of such a system arises from Russia’s oil and gas reserves. This is why the cartel is focused on reducing European present and future dependence on Russian natural gas, and replacing it with their own, higher-priced, natural gas,64 the demand for which will be reduced by the discovery of a huge field in China’s Bohai Bay.65 The competition between U.S. and Russian gas has driven European prices to new lows, with U.S. producers forced to sell at a loss, due to higher shipping costs. Another of the cartel’s current targets in its quest to marginalize Russia is the massive Nord Stream pipeline project, linking Germany to Russian gas.66 However, the Germans are apparently unconvinced by the cartel's argument that this pipeline threatens European security; in fact, Germany recently refused to participate in U.S.-led military exercises near the Russian border, and has resisted pressure to buy high-ticket U.S. armaments.67
The project is proceeding, despite the imposition of new U.S. sanctions, which may slightly delay completion. Thus, U.S. policy is creating a crisis in relations with Germany and other members of the EU that will receive gas from the German hub of Nord Stream 2. This type of aggression against “allies” makes the cartel’s distractor-in-chief’s (Trump’s) manic style an asset and, in turn, once again raises the subtextual question regarding unipolar versus multipolar model.
Germany has ten times more companies registered in Russia than any other EU country, and is planning to invest $400 million in Russia over the next year, beginning in July 2019.68 All of this push back to our assumption of a multipolar agenda, on the part of the cartel, comes from Europe’s largest economy, and indicates the fragility of continent’s financial health under the hegemony of the EU Central Bank and the euro which, as we saw following the 2008 crash, is backed by FRNs.69 As we shall see, this is just the tip of the iceberg in resentments feeding European resistance to the cartel, which still has not created a European treasury, and continues to operate under the forced and unnecessary austerity model, as a means of control through debt-slavery.
Another threat to the petro-dollar is Russia’s cooperation with China, India, Turkey, Iran, and Venezuela in using their own currencies and products for trading amongst themselves, because it decreases demand for FRNs.70 Even the EU is moving away from FRNs.71 Putin has made it very clear that FRNs should no longer be the principal world reserve currency and, obviously, other key nations agree.72 In July 2019, Credit Suisse predicted the value of FRNs would continue to fall, while JP Morgan’s private bank advised clients to diversify currency holdings because "the US dollar could lose its status as the world's dominant currency."73
Currency reset on the horizon
So far, the effect of this non-FRN trading has been negligible; but, not only is the writing is on the wall, in fact we have crossed the Rubicon. If this trend continues, there will come a time soon when various countries will no longer need to hold FRNs for the imports and exports, which will greatly restrict the ability of the financiers to print FRNs with impunity (to acquire global assets and maintain its military position, while simultaneously destroying value created by labor and its adjuncts, both domestically and internationally, via manufactured recessions, to prevent hyperinflation). This would force decreased spending (printing of FRNs) to maintain the cartel’s vast military and intelligence programs and their corporate network pyramid. Of course, if Saudi Arabia dropped FRNs, as it has threatened on three occasions,74 the balance of power in the currency wars would shift radically; but, given the cartel’s long-standing control over Saudi Arabia, these machinations are likely public posturing to provide an excuse for defeating legislation that would remove U.S. anti-trust protections for OPEC.
https://russia-insider.com/en/russia-says-it-can-weather-25-oil-10-years/ri28397
All of this may become a moot point due to Russia’s refusal, during the first week of March 2020, to cut oil production, sending U.S. financial markets diving and raising the question of whether OPEC is disassembling. All factors considered, there is some dispute whether Russia has the lowest oil production costs in the world and whether, with their current asset reserves (the National Wealth Fund) exceeding their debt, it is in a position to wait out the price war (despite the sinking ruble) while the U.S. fracking industry and Saudi Arabia start bleeding (here, here, here, here, and here), but we shall see. Putin certainly believes that Russia has the capacity weather $25 oil for 6-10 years, and that low oil prices will be good for the world economy (and here); however, given the current numbers, that timeline may be optimistic. However, in early April 2020, an agreement was reached to cut production, which is dependent on the U.S. cutting its oil shale output.
In any case, despite this ongoing incremental erosion in the global value of FRNs, the financiers are still inflicting damage on the Russian economy; for example, in capital outflow. Since the early '90's, over $25 billion a year leaves Russia, mostly due to the coup d'état that precipitated the dismantling of the USSR and the privatization of Russian industry by cartel-appointed oligarchs, which continues to re-route a significant percentage of the nation's productive capacity into the pockets of the western financiers.75
This dialectic reveals the current battle lines in the global currency war: the banking cartel using all means necessary—currency speculation, sanctions, sabotage, and war—to maintain the viability of FRNs (while printing FRNs, in part, to buy massive stakes in competing currencies); and, in parallel, the gradual formation of an alternative international bloc that is implementing strategies to ditch the FRN.
In this battle, U.S. sanctions are actually having the opposite effect for which they were intended, as various EU members states are finding ways around the cartel’s economic warfare; for example, as we noted above in the case of Germany, all of which is a result of a European initiated work-around for purchasing Iranian oil and exchanging other goods.
As Putin explains the effect of U.S. sanctions, "They lose (access to) our market."76 Not only has the Council of Europe agreed to restore Russia's voting rights—removed at the behest of the ca’tel when Russia responded to the U.S. sponsored coup d'état in Ukraine by seizing Crimea and other Russian assets)—but Italy's deputy prime minister and interior minister, Matteo Salvini (a nationalist and fascist), has called for an end to U.S. sanctions,77 as has Macron (while he uses France’s nationalized and militarized police [Gestapo] to attack Yellow Vest protestors [and here, here, and here]). Most Europeans also favor an end to sanctions, as the economic effects have been crippling, but their governments are still following the cartel’s dictates. Putin has also called for a resumption of normal diplomatic relations with Europe.78 Nevertheless, the cartel’s U.S. proxy persists, causing potentially permanent damage to EU members' economies.
"It's of deep concern that the more the US pushes Europe away from a common policy, the more they push Europe into finalizing true alternatives to the US financial system." —John E. Smith, former head of the U.S. Treasury Department’s sanctions office, in a comment to Foreign Policy.79
Meanwhile, on December 11, 2019, Colorado’s assigned red-party senator, Cory Gardner, introduced Bill S.1189, to designate Russia as a terrorist state and join the list of the remaining nations that control their own central banks and currency.
“Is you is or is you ain’t my baby?”
Whether from the multipolar or unipolar point-of-view regarding the global power structure, the recent effort and failure by Macron at the G7 conference regarding the normalization of relations with Iran—ending sanctions on the sale Iranian oil and Iranian purchase of goods and services—reveals that the cartel is driving Iran to further self-sufficiency just as it has done with Russia and China. This does not mean that U.S. sanctions aren’t having a big effect on the people and the economy of Iran (and the other nations affected by these unilaterally enforced weapons), but that is precisely what gives the unipolar (so-called "globalist") analysis "plausible deniability"; on the other hand, from the multipolar point of view, the cultivation of Trump's "instability" allows the cartel to conduct a high-stakes bait-and-switch negotiation (to discover Iran’s comfort zone for an agreement and/or to make Iran go through the efforts for naught) and for Trump to look stupid for doing it. In any case, it’s estimated that Iran will have nuclear weapons by 2020, if they decide to go forward with the program (and here and here).
Also, from a multipolar angle, such disingenuousness from the cartel has driven the Sino-Russian coalition to a stronger position regarding its terms for co-operation with the West, with Putin now saying that Russia would not rejoin the G7 (what was the G8 before Russia re-took Crimea after the U.S. staged coup d’etat in Ukraine) unless China, India, and Turkey are included.
Clearly, an end to U.S. sanctions is one stipulation that must be included in the treaty (provided in Section IV of this analysis) to end WWIII and reformulate the United Nations as separate from the financial interests that limit its present value. Other international deliberating bodies, such as the World Anti-Doping Agency, must also be freed from the iron heel of the cartel.
Russia considers ending its gold tax as a counter-measure to gold flight
In a current measure to improve retention of its financial assets, Russia is debating whether to end its value-added tax on domestic gold purchases, currently 20% on all gold bar purchases. According to an internal paper, this would increase gold retention by 50 to 100 tons per year,80 thus supporting Russia’s efforts to wean itself from FRNs.
In addition, Russia has been slowly selling off its stock of U.S. Treasury bonds and buying gold in return, with the percentage of GIR in dollars has fallen from 43.7% of holdings to approximately 20%, with the yuan now comprising 15%.81 So, despite the drain from the VAT tax, Russia’s gold reserves increased 274.3 tons in 2018,82 marking the fourth consecutive year of growth over 200 tons. In February 2018, Russia passed China to become the world’s fifth-largest gold-holding country.83 As noted, this has played a significant role in Russia’s reserves surpassing its external debt. Other nations—including China, Turkey, Venezuela, Iran, Qatar and Indonesia are also following this strategy.84 Essentially, current cartel trade and monetary policies are forcing these countries to create an alternative to the privately owned Federal Reserve Note debt-slavery model. If intentional, such a strategy argues for a unipolar model of the global power structure; if unintentional, the intrinsic crisis of capitalism has reached a stage where its weapons of economic warfare are counterproductive.
Russia considers a crypto-currency
Another looming strategy for Russian detachment from FRNs is the possible adoption of an oil-backed crypto-currency. A measure for this is being reviewed by the Duma (the lower house of the Federal Assembly of Russia), proposed by former Energy Minister Igor Yusufov. Such a move would avoid the costs of currency fluctuations, currency exchange commissions, and financial and trade restrictions being enforced by the cartel,85 and it would also help detach Russian foreign exchange from Federal Reserve Notes, which still represent three-quarters of Russia’s $600 billion in trade.86
Commenting on the Duma proposal, Igor Kostikov, former head of the Federal Securities Commission of Russia, suggested that any exchangeable resource, not just oil and gas, could be connected to the new cryto-currency.87 Not long after this, Elvira Nabiullina, head of the Bank of Russia, revealed that the central bank was looking to issue a gold-back crypto-currency to be used for large international settlements.88
Venezuelan efforts, since 2017, to establish a currency (the Petro) of a similar nature have had a rough time of it due to the cartel’s on-going attempts at a coup d’état by any means necessary, including sanctions, naming a self-proclaimed interim president, coordinating armaments and munition smuggling, generating a vast propaganda and PSYOPS campaign, and supporting agent provocateurs and saboteurs (including repeated attacks on the Venezuelan electrical grid), to which the Russia and China have responded with military and technical assistance, which we shall detail later in this analysis.
Is the shift from a unipolar to multipolar world real or illusory?
As we noted at the onset, our analysis is based on a key assumption:
“… that the surviving sovereign and semi-sovereign nation-states represent a legitimate opposition (i.e., that they are not “controlled opposition,” nor are they without requisite resources for counter-measures) to the cartel’s economic, political, and military aggressions. This does not mean that a unipolar world, one that is controlled by a central military and economic power does not exist over and above what appears to be competing forces, and we will periodically note that most of what goes on in terms of a multipolar world may simply be a cover for a unipolar world; however, for the purposes of delineating the multifaceted dialectic of forces at work, the dynamic of our discussion is based on a multipolar model.”
If an international currency, begun by Russia and China, does indeed become a replacement for FRNs, then the future governance of the IMF and the World Bank, as well as the cartel's influence and control over foreign exchange markets worldwide, will be one of the key litmus tests for whether we have a multipolar world, or whether, to leverage Orwell’s political dynamic in 1984, Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia are all controlled by a single central power. If global financing becomes controlled by those representing sovereign and semi-sovereign nation-states, then a multipolar world would seem to be the case; whereas, if the same financiers who now control the Federal Reserve System, the IMF, and the World Bank remain in those positions, then David Rockefeller’s "one world government," a "supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers," would be the case. There are some who already claim that this unified power structure is reality:
"And so, the globalist plan for a controlled demolition of the US enters the next phase, in which the dollar is abandoned by most of the world as the reserve currency mechanism and is then replaced by a new global cryptocurrency system controlled by the IMF. Make no mistake, Russia and China's moves to unseat the dollar are EXACTLY in line with what the globalists want. The current trade war being pursued by Trump offers a perfect scapegoat for the end of the dollar's dominance. The reset is meant to take place, but the banking elites want to make sure they get none of the blame for the suffering that it will cause ..."89 (Editor: original emphasis retained)
Recently, at the 2019 Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) forum held in Caracas, Venezuela, the delegates of 120 nations unanimously affirmed their pursuit of a multipolar world and a desire to construct an international financial system independent of U.S. control.90
In either case, unipolar or multipolar, our analysis proceeds as if multiple forces at work have an effect on the outcome, while asking ourselves periodically if various events could be part of an overarching, unipolar power structure.
CHINA
The Chinese economic miracle
Soon to be the world’s largest economy, China will play a key role, with Russia, in rearranging the global chessboard.
Since the revolution in 1949, China has undergone a number of changes that have global repercussions. Given the hostility of the western powers to the then new Chinese government (the People’s Republic of China), whose military under Mao Zedong put an end to over 200 years of European aggression and imperialism (including their control over Chiang Kai-shek), China was, at first, relatively isolated from mainstream world trade.
This changed after China’s Open Door policy was instituted in 1978. Measured in output per employed person, the growth rate of the Chinese economy from 1978 to 1989 is estimated as having grown at about 6½ percent per year. This rate increased to approximately 9 percent per year between 1990 and 2005,91 in essence, increasing the size of the economy 35 times over those consecutive time-periods.
Part of this is attributable to “market-based socialism”; that is, free markets within a collectively owned environment. Another factor was a significant shift in the labor force, from agriculture to manufacturing. The same study estimates that the rural population declined from 80 percent in 1970 to less that 60 percent in 2005, thanks to a sophisticated urban planning vision.
But in terms of current global economic forces, China’s membership in the WTO, beginning in 2001, is perhaps the greatest paradigm shift. This is due to the various requirements of membership, which include the acceptance of capitalists’ favorite financial weapon—debt-based slavery—and its prescribed accounting measures.
From debtless sovereign money to private fiat currency indebtedness
Essentially, after joining the WTO, China sold percentages of minority ownership in its principal state-owned banks to the cartel. It also permitted the cartel to own significant stakes in Chinese securities, which can be liquified into currency. In addition, the grants that China’s public banks had previously made to private start-up companies and to its public sector subsidiaries (23 provinces, four municipalities, five autonomous regions, and two special administrative regions) were converted to loans, as per WTO rules, creating massive debt in the public sector.92 As we have already discussed elsewhere, interest payments directly reduce productive capacity. Interest is, in essence, fake value created by the monetization of time; and, thus, the theft of the value created by labor. China also was forced to agree to other concessions, in terms of opening up foreign ownership and minimizing technology transfers.
Despite these obstacles, what has happened in China is nothing short of an economic miracle. Since Beijing began its economic reforms 41 years ago, more than 700 million Chinese people have escaped poverty, accounting for over 70 percent of global poverty reduction in that time.93 United Nations Development Program officials believe China will end rural poverty in 2020.94
As a result of China serving as an industrial slave state to the financiers, its economic growth fueled significant domestic gains in technical and military capabilities, as the Chinese found work-arounds for what the West terms "patent infringements." These advances enabled China’s growing independence from the cartel, which aggressively responded with: trade wars (tariffs and sanctions95); military threats in the South China Sea; an orchestrated “color revolution” in Hong Kong96; a potential $2.2 billion sale of military equipment to Taiwan97; and, fifth-column infiltration among China’s Uyghurs, whom the CIA trains and deploys, along with Turkey, as Jihadists in Syria.98 This mercenary role for the Islamic fundamentalist Uyghurs in Arabia serves as grooming for saboteurs (and here), who return to China’s largely Muslim Xinjiang Province, home to the nation’s core oil and gas network, as well as one of the hubs for China’s global trade initiatives.99
U.S. bases near China
In a telephone call on December 20, 2019 Xinhua news agency says Xi told Trump that his country is deeply concerned about “the negative words and deeds" of the United States on issues related to Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xinjiang and Tibet. "These actions have interfered in China’s internal affairs, harmed China’s interests and undermined mutual trust and cooperation between the two sides."
China’s cooperation with Russia and their growing sphere of influence
China’s expanding trade initiatives—a natural outgrowth of its growing domestic markets and exports to the U.S.—have evolved into a formal grand strategy, the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), the old Silk Road on steroids, to move Chinese goods west across Asia, toward Europe and Africa.
The project aims to build infrastructure such as bridges, highways, railways, and waterways to increase economic cooperation, investment, and trade. At present, infrastructure plans include the involvement of 65 countries, 62 percent of the world’s population, and 30 percent of world GDP.100 All told, after the April 2019 Belt and Road Forum in Beijing, 131 nations and 29 international organizations have signed BRI cooperation agreements.101
Chinese President Xi Jinping has stressed three principals for the initiative:
• Debt sustainability,
• Protection of the environment (or "green growth"), and
• No tolerance for corruption.
In terms of debt sustainability, the governor of the People’s Bank of China (PBOC), Yi Gang, said it will be evaluated in relation to better infrastructure, better productivity, raising standards of living and reducing poverty. The PBOC has financed as much as $440 billion in BRI projects so far.102
As the BRI comes online, it will produce the world's largest free trade zone in which exchanges will be denominated in Chinese, Russian, or EU currencies, further weakening demand for FRNs, and increasing the so-called U.S. "national debt." Whether this will create the necessary pressure to reorganize the West's private fiat currency system,103 or whether the American people will be crushed by the banks and their corporations, remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, the BRI is a synergistic fit with Russia's Turn to the East strategy—i.e., economic integration with Asia employing Russia's geographic assets: navigable roads across the "-stans" (including Pakistan104 as well as improvements in Russian domestic infrastructure) and railroad routes to Mongolia, Central Asia, and the Caucasus105, including Crimea.106 All of this will be connected via the upgraded Trans-Siberian Railway and the Chinese Eastern Railway, and enhanced in the near future by a Chinese-built high-speed rail system. Russia is also beginning to develop its high-speed rail capacity.
This meshing with China’s economic strategy will enable Russia to maximize its return on its far eastern resources: agriculture, water, minerals, lumber, and oil and gas; for example, the construction of liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants in Yamal (not to mention Russia’s overall Arctic Strategy,107 which encompasses energy, shipping, and military objectives, essentially providing a polar extension to the BRI108), that will greatly benefit China, Japan, and South Korea. These Asian trade initiatives are in addition to Russia’s myriad of ties to European energy markets that we already discussed. The first LNG-powered oil tanker recently set out from Murmansk and is due in a Chinese port by September 14, 2019. While this ship will need an icebreaker to operate as temperatures drop, Russia has plans for 17 oil tankers with their own ice-breaking capability, and has plans for the development of additional northern oilfields that will use the Arctic sea route.
In addition to the seafaring routes for LNG, on December 2nd, 2019, Putin officially opened the Power of Siberia natural gas pipeline to Asia, servicing the growing China gas market, particularly in China’s underdeveloped northeast regions and south as far as Shanghai. This marked the first Russian pipeline gas deliveries to China. In a satellite video link with China President Xi Jinping, Putin remarked, "This step brings Russian-Chinese strategic cooperation in energy to a whole new level." Xi called it "a milestone project for bilateral energy cooperation."
The massive project will also produce the world’s largest supply of helium, a byproduct of natural gas used in space industry, metallurgy, medicine and other areas, as well as ethane, propane, butane, and pentane-hexane used to produce polymers, plastics, lubricants and other products including motor fuel. The major breakthrough in previously stalled Russian-Chinese negotiations for the project came as a result of the CIA coup d’état in Ukraine, overseen by Joe Biden, which changed Russia’s focus from the West to the East. Putin is also pushing for a pipeline that would run through Mongolia, to supply other Chinese markets. Additional infrastructure upgrades include improved road access between Russia and China, including bridges.
The scope and scale of China’s economic strategy and its synergy with Russia's efforts has the cartel on edge,109 as more than a dozen EU members, including Italy and Germany,110 have linked to the BRI. Further, China is implementing win-win investment programs in developing countries,111 using much the same model that enabled China to pull itself up by its own bootstraps and gradually gain economic independence; for example, the "Made in 2025" initiative that is expanding and upgrading Chinese manufacturing and technological capabilities, thus reducing reliance on imported goods and services.
Aggressive U.S. response to Chinese and Russian economic gains is having unintended effects
At the same time, U.S. enforced economic sanctions against Russia have stagnated growth in Europe,112 alienating allies. Growing European distaste for policy dictation from the cartel's U.S. proxy has spread to a call for the withdrawal of U.S. and U.K. troops from Germany,113 as well as an end to sanctions.114 Even France, which chided Italy for signing onto the BRI, has recognized the inevitability of Chinese economic superiority and signed large trade agreements,115 while calling for re-engagement with Russia. An Italian-led movement is even calling for the dissolution of NATO.116
This is the cartel’s worst nightmare. It flies in the face of its U.S. proxy’s global strategy:
"For America, the chief geopolitical prize is Eurasia ... Eurasia is the globe's largest continent and is geopolitically axial. A power that dominates Eurasia would control two of the world's three most advanced and economically productive regions. ... About 75 per cent of the world’s people live in Eurasia, and most of the world’s physical wealth is there as well, both in its enterprises and underneath its soil. Eurasia accounts for 60 per cent of the world’s GNP and about three-fourths of the world’s known energy resources." (Zbigniew Brzezinski, The Grand Chessboard: American Primacy And Its Geostrategic Imperatives, Basic Books, 1997, pp. 30-31.)
Source: Before the current extensive propaganda campaign against the BRI,117 U.S. responses to China's economic success and growing influence throughout Asia began with the so-called "pivot" to the East and the Trans Pacific Partnership efforts during the Obama years, both of which failed.118 These efforts have now morphed into the "Indo-Pacific" initiative, which includes the U.S., India, Japan, and Australia, which has given no indication of slowing the momentum of the BRI.119 The only area in which the cartel has shown the ability to grow is in its intelligence infiltrations (e.g., Uyghurs in China, the Moscow Times in Russia,120 etc.) and military presence, increasing its provocative behavior in the South China Sea121 and East China Sea,122 as well as with incursions into Russian airspace in the Arctic Circle,123 Crimea,124 the Black Sea,125 and the Baltic states and Poland,126 as well as in the Mediterranean, where U.S. aircraft carriers were touted recently as "200,000 tons of diplomacy" by the U.S. Ambassador to Russia.127 The Russian Mediterranean fleet docks in Syria.
Another example of cognitive dissonance promoted by the cartel's spin doctors is the U.S. military’s long-standing position that its operations are carried out throughout the world, including areas claimed by allies, while it objects to China's claims in the South China Sea as being contrary to international law.
Recently, the U.S. threatened to secure the passage of Ukrainian vessels through the Kerch Strait, between the Russian state of Crimea and the Russian mainland, thus violating Russian territory in an act of war,128 and have held naval exercises there. The Russians are on record as saying that they will respond to any incursions. Russia also continues to sell and lend its superior surface-to-air missiles, which nullify U.S. air power, to strategic partners. For their part, the Chinese are also pushing back against the cartel’s military presence in their sphere of influence, in the South China Sea and Taiwan,129 as well as against fifth-column protests in Hong Kong.130 Even Admiral Philip Davidson, commander of U.S. forces in the Pacific, admits that "China is now capable of controlling the South China Sea in all scenarios short of war with the United States,"131 China continues to upgrade its navy (and here).
In addition, the upcoming opening of the Arctic shipping route will create strategic advantage for the delivery of Russian and other northern oil fields (such as Norway) to China. This pathway avoids the potential threats to oil deliveries to China that are implicit in the Strait of Malacca and the Strait of Hormuz from the cartel’s proxies132 (as we see in the British seizure of an Iranian tanker133 and U.S. sanctions on China for buying Iranian oil134), and will also shorten deliveries by 5,000 nautical miles. (On a side note: For those who believe that Arctic melting is due solely to the burning of fossil fuels, a large body of evidence suggests that covert U.S. operations have been manufacturing weather and leveraging it as a weapon for some time (and here). In Russia, such technology is not a secret. In addition to a safer shipping route, the Arctic contains massive oil reserves.)
While China’s productive capacity is dependent presently on oil, and this dependency bolsters the use of the yuan to buy oil—much like FRNs are supported by oil—China is also seeking to reduce its dependency on fossil fuels, which continues to be massive; for example, with a growing percentage of electric cars in the automobile sector,135 the initiation of its "forest city" project,136, reductions in the use of plastics (and here), and through the development of technology and the financing of sustainable projects worldwide. To bring the exchange for oil full circle, the northern sea route also serves as a big plus for the reciprocal delivery of Chinese goods to Europe.
Source: https://russia-insider.com/en/russo-chinese-polar-silk-road-ensure-domination-eurasian-trade/ri27269A recent white paper released by China—which defines its national defense strategy from now until 2049, the centennial of the People’s Republic—declares that the South China Sea as "generally stable," and that a "balanced, stable, open and inclusive Asian security architecture continues to develop." The analysis should be seen in the context of the evolution of "the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era," as a counter to what Chinese leadership openly describes as the unilateral US national security and defense strategies that “undermined global strategic stability."137 Vast sectors of the globe would concur.
However, in the same document, Beijing diplomatically praises the “military relationship with the US in accordance with the principles of non-conflict, non-confrontation, mutual respect and win-win cooperation.” The “military-to-military relationship” should work as “a stabilizer for the relations between the two countries and hence contribute to the China-US relationship based on coordination, cooperation and stability.” China’s intentions toward Hong Kong and Taiwan are spelled out concerning the turmoil in Hong Kong and the degree it reflects interference by “external forces” (as we have detailed), describing Hong Kong as the model to be followed on the way to Taiwan.138
U.S. currency warfare and WTO stipulations take aim at China’s self-financing strategy
The cartel is simultaneously pressuring China in currency and accounting matters. In a March 2018 op-ed piece,139 The New York Times (the cartel’s equivalent of TASS) issued a series of warnings to China regarding the manner in which its central bank was handling its loan portfolio. Essentially, the financiers were warning their once-compliant economic vassal-turned-competitor that it needed to tighten up enforcement of its public sector loans and, thus, increase debt. As we noted earlier, as a condition of membership in the WTO, China was required to reclassify grants—that its federal government was transferring to its political subdivisions—as loans, essentially converting the nation’s publicly owned central banks into capitalist operations, by commodifying money (turning it into capital via interest charges), to drive up public debt. By tolerating these debts, which China can do, because it has majority control over its central banking process, the Chinese are bending WTO rules, just as New Zealand and Japan were doing, before "earthquakes"140 forced reconsideration of policies.
The cartel clearly sees China as a threat to its aspirations of hegemonic control over the planet. It has labelled China as a “revisionist power” using the pretense of unfair trade practices and cyber-crime141 (the CIA, as agent provocateur, is capable of attacking websites and generating false URLs, assigning them to whatever nation they have in their crosshairs142). In actuality, China is using its banking function in a sovereign manner, cutting out the usurers.
By calling China a revisionist power, what the cartel's ideologues really mean is that China is rolling back the WTO’s capitalist ground rules, to which it agreed in order to become a player on the world stage; in other words, one of the key battle lines in WWIII is being fought over the fundamental ideological differences between the privately owned global banking network (and its owned and operated corporations and governments) versus an emerging bloc that employs alternate currencies and other means of trade (goods and services, as well as credit), including money as a public utility (i.e., public banking).
"As U.S. Vice President Mike Pence declared in his speech, the U.S. insists that China's state-owned enterprises and subsidies are unfair threats to the U.S. and demands China to reform its economic structure, but from China's perspective such a demand is not acceptable. Ideologically, the existence of state-owned enterprises is a crucial foundation of "Socialism with Chinese characteristics"; and politically, the economic structure of China is a non-negotiable part of Chinese sovereignty."143
The financiers' campaign to denigrate publicly owned banking networks as “socialism” has a long history, but it a baseless claim because, long before the term "socialism" ever entered into the vocabulary, the issuance of money by Congress was written into the Constitution (Article I, Section 8) as a sovereign right; in other words, publicly owned central banks are tools independent of capitalism or socialism: their existence is the cornerstone of sovereign nation-states.
Public banks have been around for millennia, though they are scarce today due to constant attack and subversion from the financiers, who print private fiat bank notes ex nihilo at the expense of their impoverished masses,144 to enforce their agenda. The cartel's suppression of its domestic populations is exacting a toll on the availability of the ingenuity needed to maintain the financiers' position atop the global power structure, which continues to erode, despite their unrelenting and ubiquitous aggressions, including international civil and criminal transgressions.
Can the cartel adapt to shifts in the global power structure?
Given the general trends we have highlighted, it should be clear to the financiers that if their cartel is going to compete in the long run, it will need to re-industrialize and repatriate manufacturing industries (that it relocated/subcontracted to China) to its first-world proxies, in order to attain, at a minimum, competitive parity via technological innovation in emerging fields, as well as to remain at the higher end of global manufacturing value chains. As it stands, from 2000 to 2007, 20 percent of all manufacturing jobs in the United States were lost, and 40 percent of the jobs held by union members in manufacturing in these years were also lost. (And this was before the "Great Recession" of 2008; the job loss was due to the explosion of the trade deficit in these years, not the manufactured collapse of toxic collateralized mortgages.)145
So, retooling the U.S. would necessitate a variety of changes, including a reduction in profiteering on war, healthcare, education, and virtually all other aspects of its proxies' societies. This would require a shift in the cartel's objectives of power, profit, propaganda, population reduction,146 and world hegemony—per David Rockefeller's famous declaration that "The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national self-determination practiced in past centuries."147—to a new set of objectives consistent with the recognition of a multipolar world "where national sovereignty holds primacy and a balance of economic and military power defines and protects the boundaries of international norms,"148 as currently being instituted by Russia and China.
Whether the predatory and psychopathic mindset of late-stage capitalism149 can make such an adaptation remains to be seen, but based on present trends, this seems unlikely.150 Thus, as the financiers' military, political, and economic adventurism and sabotage becomes more persistent, and its propaganda smears more outrageous in their claims,151 they universally sabotage their own credibility, except in the most fluoridated, televised, vaccinated, and surveilled sectors.
That said, in the unipolar worldview, perhaps the so-called globalists are purposefully destroying U.S. manufacturing and agriculture to level the economic playing field and reduce the domestic workforce to the level of 2nd and 3rd world slave labor. Remember what the then-chairman of the Fed, Paul Volcker, notably told the New York Times' David McNally in 1979, after implementing a David Rockefeller approved recession, via soaring interest rates and inflation, that decimated the U.S. economy, particularly the manufacturing sector: "The American standard of living must decline."
When do trade wars become acts of war?
The legal profession—which, in cartel-controlled governments (i.e., public-sector subsidiaries or corporate states), is a network that springs from the International Bar Association, located in the self-governing City of London152—does not include sanctions in its definition of "acts of war," which is no surprise, given the financiers use of sanctions as a weapon to destroy economies and starve the inhabitants of any nation that resists their control; but, in a lawful international court of justice, given the death and destruction wreaked by sanctions, their implementation would necessarily be defined not only as acts of war, but as crimes against humanity and war crimes—charges that are sure to be brought when the cartel’s victims finally have their day in court at Nuremberg II.153
But, regardless of the cartel's legal structure and its questionable lawfulness, it's clear that the majority of nations on the planet see sanctions as terrorism inflicted via economic weapons. At the previously mentioned July 2019, 120-nation Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) summit, delegates took the floor, one after another, to describe the horrific impact of sanctions on their populations. This mutual defense of national sovereignty, self-determination, and territorial integrity—taken from the founding principles of the United Nations—became the inspiration for the 1955 Bandung founding charter that guides NAM today.154 For his efforts in organizing this international stand against sanctions, Venezuela’s Foreign Minister, Jorge Arreaza, was slapped with sanctions by the U.S Treasury department, which is threatening to do the same with the Iranian Foreign Minister, Javad Zarif, who delivered the most forceful condemnation of U.S. sanctions, based on Google search's definition of terrorism:
"... unlawful use of violence or intimidation, especially against civilians, in pursuit of political gains ..."
Russia, which was given observer status at NAM conferences, sent its Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov, who noted that the U.S. has sanctioned almost 70 countries in recent decades, impacting the lives of over one-third of the world's population, and that "in recent times, the culture of negotiation, the pattern of compromise, became almost completely absent from the toolbox of US diplomacy."
Clearly, a line has been drawn in the sand by the victims of the cartel’s economic warfare.
So, in addition to the prohibition of sanctions that we include in the conditions we will prescribe in the treaty to end WWIII (at the summary of this analysis), we must also add a reformulation of the legal system into one based on justice and human rights, excising the current code that serves financial interests and its religion of materialism.
Sanctions, kidnapping, and suppressing Chinese 5G technology
In the case of China, the cartel has—as part of its response to Chinese economic expansion and military prowess—implemented a trade war on various goods, beginning with tariffs and including sanctions, as well as other crimes, including lack of due process, false imprisonment, and kidnapping; for example, Canada’s December 1, 2018 arrest of Huawei Technologies chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou, at the request of the United States, which is seeking her extradition, on allegations that Huawei violated U.S. sanctions against Iran.155
The cartel's argument also includes the claim that Huawei's devices (second only to Apple in global sales156) will allow the Chinese government surveillance capabilities in any nation where the company’s products are sold. However, the evidence for these charges does not exist according to the U.S.'s own intelligence sources, who have hacked into Huawei's servers.157
Ten days after the U.S. House Intelligence Committee published a report158 in 2012 advocating a U.S. ban on Huawei products, claiming that they pose a threat to national security, the classified investigation was leaked to Reuters and showed no evidence to back up the claims of the House report.159 One of the whistleblowers on the findings of the report told Reuters, "... we knew certain parts of government really wanted evidence of active spying. We would have found it if it were there."
Only a month ago, under pressure from the U.S. to follow its lead, the German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) investigated the claims regarding Huawei spying claims. The president of the BSI, Arne Schönbohm, told German media that there was no evidence to demonstrate a security risk posed by Huawei.160 In fact, Huawei is willing to sell full control of its technology to the West. Apparently, the U.K. is breaking ranks with the U.S. and Australia over this. Despite all this, the U.S. expanded its efforts to suppress Huawei’s business.
Given the lack of evidence to support these charges, it’s clear that this violation of international law and extra-judicial targeting of individuals is aimed at extra-judicial targeting of individuals is aimed at the loss of the cartel’s intelligence gathering backdoor in U.S. devices, as well as China’s growing presence, via Huawei, in the implementation of 5G technology. The charges by the U.S. are even more absurd given Edward Snowden’s NSA leaks, which prove that the cartel’s U.S. proxy’s intelligence services collect, without a warrant, virtually all digital communications made by Americans.161 Worse yet, the Washington Post has revealed that the CIA has been spying on foreign governments for decades via a backdoor in encryption services it peddles through a Swiss corporate front.
While the majority of the global population may not understand the capabilities and implications of 5G technology, in the WWIII battle between the cartel's proxies and the Sino-Russian coalition, the adversaries are fully aware of the stakes: real-time high-bandwidth surveillance and fully targeted electronic weaponry, including sterilization and eugenics programs, at all globally connected points.162 The same technology enables improved missile accuracy,163 which is, according to the U.S. National Security Council, the principal threat posed by Huawei; however, as noted earlier, there is no evidence for these claims. The technology also is facilitating the introduction of self-driving cars, widespread roboticization, and the universal application of AI. While it would be naive to think that the Chinese are not intent on using 5G for national defense, at this point the principal reason that the U.S. is sanctioning Huawei is simply to block China from gaining technological parity with the United States,164 and to attempt to blackmail the Chinese regarding the life of Meng Wanzhou for a backdoor to Huawei devices, as the cartel has with Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc.165
Regardless, the cartel’s U.S. proxy’s position is that the Chinese 5G technology and networking expertise creates a threat to the U.S. economy and cyber security166 (though these and other charges remain unproven167); thus, they are proposing that the U.S. network must be controlled by the government.168 Even if we grant some truth to the security issues (and here), the net result is increased real-time surveillance of the U.S. population. In any case, the direction in both China and the U.S. regarding control over human behavior is dystopian; for example, the Chinese social credit rating system, which has no formal equivalent in the U.S., but certainly is matched surreptitiously, given CIA-controlled Amazon’s near hegemony over U.S. cyberspace,169 and the various algorithms it and other intelligence subsidiaries (Facebook, Google, etc.) use to suppress progressive content.170
Economic poker: Raising the stakes
Both the U.S. and China hold key cards in this technology poker game: the cartel has the markets that underpin China’s trade surpluses and some key technologies that China uses, while China has the majority of the world’s precious metals and some production techniques that the cartel needs for its technology.171 Although the U.S. is making up lost ground with control over Afghanistan's and now Bolivia's mineral deposits (and here). But the Chinese trade-surplus is illusory, as it actually represents sales from U.S. foreign subsidiaries to their mainland branches. Further, if the U.S. stops supplying China with its superior chips, several U.S. manufacturers will go bankrupt, and the Chinese will simply ramp up their own production, since they have the rare earth metals and technical ability. As noted, China also has an ally in Russia, which freely trades key goods and services with China, and coordinates its military strategy (joint exercises) and technology (missiles, software, etc.) with China, as the relationship between these two superpowers grows ever cozier.172
China holds two other key cards: approximately $1 trillion in U.S. Treasury bonds and markets on which many of the cartel's U.S. proxy’s corporations depend. A massive sale of these bonds would reduce the value of FRNs, thus severely crimping the U.S. public’s consumption of imported goods (from China, Europe, and elsewhere) and hastening the demise of the FRN as a key component of the world’s reserve currency. The jobless rate in the U.S., which is greatly underestimated by corporate media and corporate government agencies and actually sits at over 20%,173 would spike.
As a pre-emption to this potential strategy from China, the U.S. is now claiming that China is manipulating its currency when, in fact, it is U.S. policies that are now causing FRNs to increase in value, because of the escalating trade war and its effect on the world economy, which is slowing because of capital flight to and hedging in U.S. Treasury bonds, which are escalating in value. The secondary effect of this trend is to lower prices on Chinese goods, thus negating the latest round of U.S. tariffs.
In response, Trump has disingenuously declared that China is manipulating its currency; however, manipulation is defined as entering global money markets to buy and/or sell one’s currency in exchange for dollars (the global trading currency) in order to influence the price (exchange rate) of one’s currency in relation to the dollar; so, that is not what is happening. In other words, this is merely propaganda designed to justify the cartel's next round of military and economic escalations, if China does not agree to the cartel’s terms.
China meets U.S. sanctions with its own
In response to sanctions imposed and threatened via the cartel’s U.S. proxy—which, again, controls the printing press for the current principal world reserve currency—China has created its own blacklist:
"Foreign companies, organizations and individuals that do not respect market norms, that move away from the spirit of a contract, that impose embargoes or cease supplying Chinese companies for non-commercial reasons and seriously damage their legitimate interests and rights, will be placed in a list of unreliable entities." —Chinese Commerce Ministry spokesperson Gao Feng, May 31, 2019174
Gao said that China will take legal and administrative measures according to its anti-monopoly, national security, and foreign trade laws. This was the first counter-measure from the Chinese since the U.S. blacklisted Huawei which, in turn, precipitated Google (a company financially and technically seeded by the CIA) to cancel Huawei’s license for the Android operating system; which, in turn, prompted Huawei to switch to the Aurora operating system, currently being developed by a 75% state-owned Moscow-based firm, Russian Mobile Platform.175 China and Russia are also negotiating regarding other components (meanwhile, Russia is developing its own 5G technology). China’s response is apparently working. In the first half of 2019, Huawei made a profit of $58.3 billion, and countries such as Myanmar, a former British colony (Burma) and current U.S. proxy, have contracted with Huawei for its 5G network and for the Sino-Russian free trade zone (BRI). Research formerly done by universities in the U.S. has been transferred to Russian institutions.
In addition, as a result of the charges, by the cartel's U.S. proxy, that China is manipulating its currency, China announced it would not be buying U.S. agricultural products, which likely would have resulted in Trump having to bail out U.S. farmers for the third time, bringing the total to $50 billion. As the U.S. moves into another manufactured recession (estimates indicate that the U.S. has lost 300,000 jobs as a result of tariffs and sanctions), these strategies would accelerate the increase in the so-called national debt, from the current $1 trillion a year to an annual rate of $1.7 trillion.176 In turn, this would require the cartel to print more FRNs. This is why a recession is necessary, because the cartel must destroy the value created by labor, and seize the collateralized assets at fire-sale prices, to prevent hyperinflation, while robbing labor in the process. This is also why a lifetime of labor results in so few assets—the value created by labor was stolen by the financiers via the call of interest on debt necessitated by the inflation intrinsic to usury.
On October 10-11th, China and the U.S. entered into their 13th round of negotiations, with both sides making conciliatory gestures, the Chinese giving U.S. farmers the biggest break and Trump delaying tariffs on $250 billion worth of Chinese imports from October 1-15th. Negotiations continue into late December, with Trump tweeting: "China has already started a large scale purchase of agricultural products & more. Formal signing took place in January 2020."
The products include soybeans, some anti-cancer drugs, and lubricants, as well as animal feed ingredients whey and fish meal. Some of the categories will apply for refunds of levied duties within six months, granting an enormous break, especially to U.S. farmers. Despite this, U.S. farm bankruptcies are soaring (and here and here).
"Chapter 12 farm bankruptcies continue to increase as farmers and ranchers struggle with a prolonged downturn in the farm economy that’s been made worse by unfair retaliatory tariffs on U.S. agriculture as well as two consecutive years of adverse planting, growing and harvesting conditions.176-b ... Over the prior 12 months, Chapter 12 bankruptcies totaled 580 filings and were up 24% from the previous 12 months (and here)."
In late October, Trump’s script had him declaring that the U.S. won the trade war, which, like most of the remarks delivered through the cartel’s center of attraction and distraction, has nothing to do with the truth. Simply put, the trade deficit with China is slowing down the rate of China's growth, not decreasing it. The trade war also provides an excuse to slow down the domestic conversion to renewable energy sources, such as solar, because profits on fossil fuels is higher and because FRNs are backed by oil.
The economic mechanics of the U.S.-China trade bargaining process is explained most easily using the unipolar, globalist perspective: the principal world reserve currency (FRNs) is printed to increase the money supply, of which a significant portion is used to buy goods manufactured in China, which in turn builds China’s domestic economy, builds China’s foreign trade, builds China’s currency, and finances the build-out of the game-changing Sino-Russian BRI and Turn to the East plan across Asia (including Iran and Iraq) and into Europe (including various infrastructure projects and trade deals) and Africa, as well as Venezuela.
From the multipolar point of view, this would be seen as the cartel trying to maintain the relevancy of their private central bank notes, versus the yuan and ruble, which are garnering a growing share of international trade. This also explains why the cartel’s economic ideologues keep floating ideas for a new, privately owned currency system (and here, here, and here), perhaps based on a carbon tax, because from this angle—keeping the FRN, or some other form of private currency, dominant—they are fighting a losing battle, as more nations move to conduct business in their own currencies and/or gold.
Usage of Federal Reserve Notes is declining.
China-US Relations: From Trade War to Hot War
Again, this goes back to the convergence of economic and military objectives regarding the cartel's attempt to suppress China's 5G technology and its components. Clearly, China presents a threat to its long-term global hegemony and, as we have seen, the facts support this assessment. China's supercomputers are among the fastest in the world, and they have more of them than the U.S. The cartel is also lagging behind in the adoption of robotics, AI-based systems, automated education, quantum computing, smart mobility, and deep learning, as well as investment in research and development.177 Putin says whoever "monopolizes" artificial intelligence will rule the world.178
U.S. and China Competing to Build World's First Nationwide Cyber-Gulag
Given the parallel total surveillance states in place and being further developed, we see that these conditions support both the uni- and multi-polar models, since 5G is in the process of being rolled out globally, either as a unified strategy sold under the guise of threats to multiple parties, but generated by a unipolar force, or as a genuine need to protect multiple super-powers from one another. Russia also has a mass surveillance system in place.
U.S. and China Redefining the Terms of War
That the economic and military battle between the cartel and China has heated up is not a surprise to either party, as these forces have been in play since the end of WWII and the revolution led by Mao Zedong. Nor is it a surprise that tensions would increase significantly when Chinese economic and military power (including its relationship with Russia) reached a point of calculated independence, as they have, according to the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community compiled by the CIA and other related agencies. It’s conclusion:
"We assess that China’s leaders will try to extend the country's global economic, political, and military reach while using China’s military capabilities and overseas infrastructure and energy investments under the Belt and Road Initiative to diminish U.S. influence."179
Given China’s nuclear capabilities, as well as its partnership with Russia, the cartel’s U.S. proxy cannot consider the nuclear option; instead, it has created a full-court press with the other weapons at its disposal: technology (the potential withdrawal of chips and the loss of a license to the Google Android operating system), economic tariffs and sanctions, and constant provocations on the high seas and in Hong Kong, Xinjiang, etc.
Regarding the economic weapons, it’s clear that the cartel’s objective is to impede China’s economic growth, given the U.S. demands submitted to Chinese trade negotiators in May 2019:
• Halt all government subsidies to advanced manufacturing industries in its Made in China 2025 program, an endeavor that covers 10 key economic sectors, including aircraft manufacturing, electric cars, robotics, computer microchips, and artificial intelligence;
• Accept American restrictions on investments in sensitive technologies without retaliating;
• Open up its service and agricultural sectors—areas where Chinese firms have an inherent advantage—to full American competition.
Obviously, this is war, as acceding to such demands would make China permanent subordinate of the cartel. As Eswar Prasad, an economics professor at Cornell University put it, "The list reads like the terms for a surrender rather than a basis for negotiation."180
While there is no way of knowing the degree to which China's technological advances are a product of legitimate investments in research and development, Russian sharing, or espionage, given Beijing’s considerable investment in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education at the graduate and post-graduate level, it's safe to assume that most of that country’s advances are the result of domestic efforts181; otherwise, why would China feel it's ready to go toe-to-toe with the cartel and produce what it needs by itself, or with help from other trading partners?
China, which will become, in short order, the world’s largest economy, had countered the cartel's previous round of demands with its own terms. According to Vice Premier Liu He, China has three key demands. The U.S. must:
• Remove all extra tariffs;
• Set targets for Chinese purchases of goods in line with real demand; and
• Ensure that the text of the deal is "balanced" to ensure the "dignity" of both nations.
Given that the international banking cartel and its corporations, controlled as it is by a handful of financiers,182 finds it necessary to maintain the illusion of choice between the red and blue political party marketing brands and the myth of verifiable elections,183 the Trump administration purposefully is in the manufactured illusionary position of walking a tightrope with perils to either side: its hardline stance on China is justified as an "electability" issue in 2020, because top Democrats, including Bernie Sanders, have been given positions on China as stringent as Trump's; and, on the other side of the tightrope, the injury that will result to the U.S. economy (the technology sector's loss of income on chips and software and the agricultural sector's loss of income from the sale of soybeans and other crops), if the U.S. does not back down from additional tariffs and sanctions that it has threatened.
Since the charade of verifiable elections requires plausible support from Trump’s base—the corporate hierarchy and rural conservatives, racists, and nationalists—Trump announced, on June 29, 2019, at the summit of leaders of the Group of 20 (G20) major economies in Osaka, Japan that the U.S. and China had agreed to a ceasefire, in terms of further escalation, with the current U.S. sanctions remain in place, including the espionage charges and technology transference issues. As Chinese President Xi Jinping noted, "one basic fact remains unchanged: China and the United States both benefit from cooperation and lose in confrontation."184
The "truce" was short-lived. On August 1, 2019, Trump imposed $300 billion in tariffs on Chinese goods, with the Chinese responding by letting their currency devalue based on investor pressure from buying U.S. Treasuries as a hedge against the recession being manufactured by the financiers who pull the strings of the U.S. proxy.185 The administration immediately declared China a currency manipulator, though no economists worth their salt were buying it.
"The only economic manipulation here is Trump's. His tariffs have caused gratuitous and serious damage to the US economy, the world economy and the global trading system. ... As China's currency weakens (with one dollar buying more yuan), China's exports gain competitiveness relative to US goods and services."The weakening of China's currency therefore conveys three pieces of information. First, it strengthens the view that no trade deal is likely in the short term. Second, it suggests — consistent with a multitude of evidence — that China's macroeconomy has suffered as the result of the US tariffs. Third, it suggests that China will let its currency continue to depreciate in order to help stabilize China's trade and overall growth." —Jeffrey D. Sachs, Director of The Earth Institute, Professor of Sustainable Development, Professor of Health Policy and Management at Columbia University, Special Advisor to United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on the Millennium Development Goals, and Director of the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network.186
The Chinese followed with two rounds of counter tariffs that take effect the same days that the U.S. has earmarked for their latest tariffs.
A trade thaw with China and Russia?
All this posturing aside, on January 15, 2020, China’s Vice Premier Liu signed a trade deal with Trump in Washington. The terms were not made public, but there appear to be concessions on both sides. The U.S. Treasury dropped its claims that China was manipulating its currency. In a related move, the U.S. has dropped trade sanctions against on three Russian companies, on the premise that they have reduced ties with a major oligarch associated with Putin. This paves the way for the U.S. to re-secure a supply of aluminum from the world’s second largest producer.
One important unanswered question is why China has agreed to buy massive amounts of GMO agriculture products that are tainted with pesticides? Is this to feed to cattle sold back to the U.S. as meat, or for consumption by their domestic population? What is China’s position on the organic food movement, particularly in light of Russia’s production trends in this direction? Despite the growing popularity of organic food in the U.S., protections have been removed against contamination by corporate agriculture’s modified seeds and pesticides, and many popular organic brands are now owned by corporate agriculture. U.S. family-owned farms are being forced to sell at an increasing rate (and here). The bottom line, in terms of the unipolar and multipolar models is: are both the cartel and the coalition poisoning the food chain?
From the multipolar point of view, given the positions staked by both sides, a trade deal seemed unlikely,187 with the intent of the financiers being to throttle Chinese development and power, although, as noted, China’s ally, Russia, has become a major producer of organic foods; conversely, in a unipolar view, this would mean that China’s moves are pre-scripted, to create an adversarial illusion. In either case, the terms of the trade deal that were originally presented by China certainly warrant inclusion into the larger scoped treaty to end WWIII and/or to create a sustainable and progressive unipolar world, the framework of which we propose in our summary.
Regardless of the intent, as we saw with Russia, the current U.S. sanctions on China are playing a key role in its path to self-reliance, with the growing diversification and sophistication of domestic resources; and, once again, such a result could support either the unipolar (globalist) or multipolar power structure model, as does the current trend (from China, Russia, and others) of withdrawing from the use of Federal Reserve Notes.188
Corporate medicine's role in the power structure
Of course, it is possible that the litmus test for discovering whether the world power structure is unipolar or multipolar will become apparent in events that lie outside of the political and economic situations that we have detailed so far in Volume II.
For example, consider how the coronavirus outbreak could be such an event. Essentially, this biological threat, along with a variety of previous planned virus attacks, have normalized such occurrences. Thus, one could interpret these actions as being consistent with the cartel’s objective of depopulation, as well as power, profit, and propaganda (PSYOPS).
When it began, China was quarantined tens of millions of persons. Vietnam, which is a beneficiary of a booming Chinese economy, also instituted quarantines. Other nations are implementing related emergency powers (and here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here), (with one Canadian pundit calling for even more extreme measures than are already in place), while racist attacks on Asians rose (here, and here) outside of Southeast Asia, along with the usual sociopathology of eugenicists. Similar measures in the U.S., created by executive orders during the presidencies of George H.W. Bush and Barack Obama, are possible (and here), although Trump initially said he was not considering martial law for the time being; however, the National Guard was called out in a suburb of New York, with more states following (Rhode Island going a step further, with soldiers going door-to-door), and the Secretary of Defense, Mark Esper, has streamlined the ability of the federal government to call up the National Guard for domestic use, the U.S. Capitol was shut down for at least three weeks, until April 2020, and on March 13, 2020 Trump declared a national emergency, which allows the government to tap emergency funds that primarily go to the banks and their corporations (here and here), to keep them liquid during the manufactured recession (and here), so they can buy up the collateralized assets of the working class, with nearly 1/3 of Americans unable to pay rent. The plans for martial law have been in place for some time. All of this is being coordinated by U.S. intelligence agencies. The pre-planning of this event has been confirmed by Pompeo. Various corporate CEOs and Congressional insiders sold stock (and here, and here) before the markets crashed as a result of the virus announcement and the dissolution of OPEC price setting, with Congress using the event to push through additional unconstitutional surveillance laws. The Department of Justice then asked to suspend Habeas Corpus (and here and here), meaning the corporate state can lock up anyone indefinitely without charges. Edward Snowden warned that such laws will likely remain after the event. The U.K. followed suit, including New Zealand.
Meanwhile, South Korea and other countries reported declining rates without instituting a lockdown (and here), although with aggressive testing, and Sweden is also handling the situation without a lockdown (and here), and deaths are dropping (here, here, here, and here). Many doctors are calling for an end to the lockdown. The evidence for this virus being an exaggerated media event seems obvious, given the statistics collected outside of China, with actual fatality rates comparable to a severe cold (and here here, here and here). One expert, who was touted in the corporate media for his aggressive exponential projections, has now recanted. Even the New York Times questioned the rationality of shutting down the economy. Despite this, the damage has been done on the minds of the American public in terms of the need for the shutdown and for a vaccine, or at least this is what the cartel is telling us.
Covid-19 daily deaths compared with other diseases, as of March 9, 2020.
Updates: https://www.telesurenglish.net/news/Covid-19-Updates-Costa-Rica-Closes-Its-Borders-up-to-April-12-20200319-0002.html
Corporate television news networks are drumming up the fear factor (and here) with warnings from the CDC, FDA, and various "experts" (in the employ of the cartel) concerning the coming "epidemic" in the U.S., though deaths from the virus barely register in impact compared with other causes:
"... the worldwide focus on the coronavirus has highlighted the deep inequalities in how some maladies are covered and others are simply ignored. Just over 3,000 people have died after contracting the virus since the first reported case on December 1. Over the same time period, a condition like diarrhea typically kills around 550,000, according to the World Health Organization – something that could easily be remedied in virtually every case. Meanwhile, around nine million people die of hunger or hunger-related conditions every year, according to Mercy Corps – an average of one person every three seconds. Yet these shocking realities that rival the worst predictions of what the coronavirus could bring are ignored as mundane, business-as-usual non-stories by comparison."
Reports from inside China indicated that the virus was no more virulent than the normal statistics for annual Chinese deaths from influenza and pneumonia, with over 3,000 deaths and over 80,000 infections by the end of February 2020, accounting for over 80% of worldwide cases, although there are some questions regarding the methodology for identifying the virus (and here, here, here, and here). Chinese authorities stopped requiring direct testing for the coronavirus; instead, they used CT scans of the chest, labeling pneumonia as the “coronavirus.” China's National Health Commission reported in mid-February that 12,552 people had already successfully overcome the disease; however, 11,741 patients were still in serious condition. By the end of the first week in March 2020, 50,000 cures were reported worldwide; a week later, 107,352 cases were reported worldwide, with 3,646 deaths and 60,558 recoveries. Before this event, China’s annual deaths from pneumonia were 300,000 persons.
As the numbers in China declined, on March 12, China declared that the epidemic passed its peak, and began shutting down emergency hospitals. The day before, WHO declared the outbreak a global pandemic. On March 18, 2020 China announced no new cases, with commerce now picking up, and on April 6, 2020, China reported no deaths from Covid-19. Three days later, Vietnam also reported no deaths and Venezuela reported only one new case. As of March 19, 2020, COVID-19 was no longer considered to be a high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the UK. Many scientists agree that statistically speaking, the event is overblown, and that tests are inaccurate (and here, here, here, here, here, here, and here) or contaminated. Even Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and one of the lead members of the White House Coronavirus Task Force, has been forced to recant his earlier exaggerated claims. The current counts are, nevertheless, exaggerated, with all coronavirus patients' deaths as attributable (and here) to the disease and incentives for doctors and hospitals to assign Covid-19 status to illnesses, and even more cash incentives for the use of ventilators.
For containment, the Annual Meeting of the National Assembly in early March, considered to be China’s most important political meeting, was suspended. U.S. manufacturing is taking a hit as well, with Apple reporting that its 2020 production and marketing goals might not be achieved due to the interruption of the sale of such products as iPhone, iPad, and Mac computers. Amazons subsidiary, Whole Foods, was hit by a strike when the company refused to offer sick pay to workers without a positive test, despite confirmed cases on their premises, and fired the employee who organized the strike (here, here, and here). Despite the fact that hospitals are set to receive $100 billion as part of the coronavirus stimulus package, medical workers’ pay is being reduced, or they are being laid-off or furloughed. With so much propaganda around this event, it is difficult to know the degree to which U.S. medical facilities are over-taxed; for example, one TV network used video from Italy to show crowded conditions in New York City, while citizen videographers showed empty hospitals, and the situation in NYC and elsewhere has been grossly overstated (here and here).
By mid-March, all major U.S. sporting events were cancelled, and international travel, to and from the U.S., was being shut down. The financial powers then floated the idea of a massive emergency relief package aimed primarily at subsidizing their own interests, including cutting payroll taxes on Social Security and providing federal assistance for oil and natural gas producers as a result of a price war they instituted via Saudi Arabia. Later, reneging on promises, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell proposed that all cash stimulus payouts to individuals would be taken from their future tax returns, and with great fanfare, Canada announced it would increase available loans to farmers, while Trudeau continues to ignore the numbers and push the vaccine agenda. The IMF used the global economic shutdown as a means to extend its debt-slavery loans to dozens of countries (here and here).
On the other hand, in Italy, the private banking cartel is suspending mortgages, while Germany is using one of its public banks as an economic safety net, and creating support programs for the arts, although Merkel said there would be no help from the government, despite mandated quarantines, for which she was criticized. In short order, the German government began to get involved. The U.S., in turn, proposed federal government remedies for the public that were nothing more than extending repayment options already available, some minor adjustments, promises (and here), and enriching the banks and their corporations via bailouts, subsidies, and tax breaks, although Governor Cuomo of New York suspended mortgage payments for 90 days, while questioning the extreme measures being taken, and payments and interest on federal student loans were suspended. Because of the purposeful “incompetence” of the federal government to increase numbers (and interrupt medical supplies to the states) to justify martial law, Governor Gavin Newsom declared California a 'Nation-State' to take matters into its own hands, which resulted in the formation of a compact with its neighbors, the results of which are indeterminate, although tyranny is in the air, and Texas ended its shutdown. The best that the cartel-controlled AMA, Big Pharma, and insurance companies could do was price gouging (and here), (suppression of inexpensive solutions in France, and institution of similar harsh measures in Latin America [and here], including the refusal to let Mexico buy ventilators made in that country by a U.S. corporation), while other industries asked for their usual bailout, and the cartel’s U.S. proxy doubled down on sanctions to increase the spread of the virus in target nations (and here, here, here, and here) who, in turn, asked the U.N. to lift the sanctions. Japan ignored the sanctions and sent aid directly to Iran (and here and here). The final measure passed by Congress and signed by the President was exactly what the cartel ordered, bailing out corporations with a pittance for the people. Unimpressed by their government's measures, Chicagoans are calling for a rent strike. Putin, in contrast, will tax the rich to pay for Russia’s response program and Argentina’s president prohibited layoffs for 60 days, despite the country being on the brink of bankruptcy, Peru facilitated loans for small businesses, Venezuela instituted a 6-month rent suspension, guaranteed workers’ wages, and prohibited lay-offs, while Spain raised the bar by instituting Universal Basic Income. Pope Francis called for debt forgiveness and ending sanctions.
As far back as February 10th, almost three weeks after the first case of the coronavirus was reported in the state of Washington, the U.S. sent nearly 17.8 tons of donated medical supplies to China—including masks and respirators, with other U.S. suppliers undermining domestic efforts as well. On the same day, it was reported that Trump spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping (and here and here) and praised China’s response to the outbreak, and Xi complimented the U.S. regarding its measured response, as well as praising the spirit of cooperation reached in the January 2020 trade deal. Along with unverifiable claims that the death rates in China were higher than reported, were claims that Asians are particularly susceptible to the virus (and here), which accounted for the low numbers elsewhere (and here) at the onset, until the last week of February 2020, when cases began inexplicably showing up around the globe (and here and here), (33 countries by the end of February 2020, with Italy particularly hard hit, as it was during the "Spanish Flu" of 1918, underscoring ethnic susceptibilities to certain viruses [and here, here, here, and here]), or perhaps the age and infirmity (and here of the population, such as is seen in New York City [and here]), raising the question of whether this was being seeded, or perhaps being generated or aggravated by 5G rollouts (and here and here), or simply spreading long (and here and here)before it was recognized. Chinese health officials visited Italy to recommend strategies for containment, and then sent further aid. Cuban doctors also visited Italy (and here), and Russia sent aid as well.
Various rumors and speculation regarding the origin of the virus, with a spotlight on the Wuhan lab (and here), prompted China's President Xi Jinping to call early on for tightened control over online discussion and increased policing to ensure "positive energy" and social stability, since evidence indicates that the original virus was lab-manufactured outside of China (and here, here, here, and here).
"... the science paper finds that there is no known viral ancestry to the CoVid-19 coronavirus, meaning it did not evolve from nature. It was *engineered*, and the science paper authors also state that the virus contains elements from MERS, stating, "Before the emergence of the 2019-nCoV, this important feature was not observed in the lineage of betacoronaviruses.""
Further evidence for the virus’ engineering and enhancement followed from a couple of sources (and here), one claiming that genetic sequencing was altered at the University of North Carolina (where research cleaving the virus was successfully conducted) and sold to Zhengli-Li Shi, Key Laboratory of Special Pathogens and Biosafety, Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan, China (here and here). Further evidence for this sequence came later, showing U.S. funding for the original workef="https://www.naturalnews.com/2020-04-12-nih-funded-wuhan-virus-lab-research-coronavirus.html">here) on the genome, which was later moved to the lab at Wuhan. The government end of the approval process for this research was signed off by Dr. Fauci, the head of the CDC. The research was criticized by other virology scientists. China denies that the virus came from their lab. A great deal of effort is being expended to keep the blame on the local fish market as being the source of the virus, or bats from 1000 miles away, but that cover has been blown by the revelation that the Facebook "Fact-Checker," who was used to suppress the story on social media, is a U.S. citizen working in the Wuhan lab. Fact-checker went so far as to use a fifth column reporter in Hong Kong to claim that Russia did not claim the virus was man-made, playing word games with the definition of recombinant; however, the statement by the Russian health minister (and others) is quite clear on the genetic manipulation involved in creating the virus.
A number of nations, including China (and here) and Iran, pointed at the U.S. as the perpetrator of this bioweapon (and here), while Trump and Pompeo claim it is of Chinese origin (here, here, here, here, here), which the U.N. says is not true (and here). here) To deal with these revelations, Trump placed a gag order on government reporting, while Facebook suppressed legitimate fact-finding by suppressing various genetic studies that proves them liars.
Current studies of the genome (and here) show at least two strains of the bioweapon. The second may have been seeded by an "accident" that occurred at the US military bio-warfare lab at Fort Detrick (Frederick, Maryland), the center of the U.S. biological weapons program since 1943. So, it's quite possible that this is the secondary source, since a number its soldiers participated in military games in Wuhan, as we discuss below. If this is the case, as likely it is (as we can see in this interview of a scientist who worked at Ft. Detrick [skip to 7:24 for the question leading to the details of the lab’s work]), then the rapid proliferation of cases in the U.S. may be largely a result of this second strain of the virus being spread since the autumn of 2019 (and here and here), with Trump's "incompetence" and the U.S. disinformation campaign (and here and here) blaming China being a cover for this. Additionally, the hysteria has allowed the cartel to avoid scrutiny for a 5G (and here and here [page removed]) and GMO rollout (and here), as well as suspending EPA rules, ram through illegal pipelines, and continuing its attempts to bankrupt the United States Postal Service and unconstitutionally sell off pieces to private corporations.
The origins of the virus is a critical question, because it provides evidence as to whether China subscribes to the U.N.’s Agenda 21 (which includes forced global vaccine programs), or at least the population reduction requirements (with target figures currently secret), or whether China was attacked by traitors and foreign intelligence. The answer will throw some weight to either the unipolar or multipolar view.
If this were a top-of-the-line depopulation event, we would expect soon to see the introduction of a vaccine that may be designed to increase the spread of the virus (as a U.S. military study indicates regarding flu vaccines, the safety of which has never been tested by the CDC as mandated 34 years ago ) and/or inject some other insidious viral or germ culture, or nanoparticles, into those who choose or are forced to get shots, just as Bill Gates "predicted" (and here) and continues to push (and here and here) along with the U.N. (here and here), and just as the "Spanish flu" was generated (and here). Even U.S. Attorney General William Barr, who regularly oversteps Constitutional law, expressed concerns regarding Gates' agenda. This was followed by Surgeon General Jerome Adams stating the Coronavirus Task Force dumped the Bill Gates/CDC/WHO predictive contagion model, and is now working with the real data, and with Trump cutting off funding for WHO (and here), although this likely means that Gates, who funds the organization, will have more control over it.
Meanwhile, on March 21, China’s Defense Minister announced that Chinese scientists developed a Covid-19 vaccine that has already been tested on a group of infected monkeys, which responded effectively and were immune. Both Russia and Japan have developed tests that produce results in 30 minutes. Meanwhile, the U.S. was attempting to monopolize a German company’s vaccine efforts, and U.S.-controlled states, such as Bolivia, were refusing effective help.
The timing of the coronavirus outbreak is suspicious as well, following the high-level pandemic exercise, Event 201, simulating a global coronavirus outbreak only about 6 weeks before the outbreak, held by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, in New York City, as well as the Military World Games held in Wuhan on the same day. In the opening ceremonies, U.N. troops (comprised mostly of Asians) formed a red star and then the U.N. emblem, which they equated with "Peace" and saluted. Another joint drill of U.S. and Chinese soldiers was held in Hawai’i in November 2020. In the aftermath, a large spike in illnesses were reported, and from where the Italian case number 1 vacationed before returning home. Many of the same players involved in these exercises have instituted a worldwide program to deliver digital IDs via vaccines (and here).
All the hype (and here, here, here, here, here, here, and here) aside—and we do mean hype, by as much as a factor of 85—one analyst pointed out that the military and the police handling and corralling Chinese citizens were not wearing gloves, and not being quarantined after contact, because the government would have quickly run out of troops, in contrast to nurses wearing Hazmat suits and still getting infected. The U.S. began by taking the same lax approach, purposefully giving the impression of incompetence (and here), so that pandemics become normalized, which is wholly consistent with the cartel's depopulation and eugenics agenda (and here). The blue party is onboard with this, of course, and if given power in November 2020, would then be able to push the same objectives by enforcing vaccine compliance via the CDC, etc. Heads they win, tails we lose.
Whatever the outcome of the current epidemic and/or "false flag," both the drill and the actual coronavirus event are more likely a warm-up for something far more insidious (and here and here); for example, a re-run following major 5G rollouts (and here and here), where symptoms from severe electronic disruption are diagnosed as a killer virus, and millions die from it. Of course, genetically modified viruses could be used in tandem with this (and here), along with a wave of economic contraction, as we are now seeing. Another issue is the objective, shared by both the financiers and the Chinese, to move to a cashless society that would enforce the social credit systems now in place in both China, where it is in the open, and elsewhere, including the U.S., where it is hidden, although the first draft of the blue party’s economic stimulus package did include a digital currency provision. The excuse, of course, is that paper currency carries viruses. Cartel pundits are also pushing the normalization of "social distancing" (a term that first appeared in a 2007 Hollywood pandemic movie), much like the manufactured alienation Orwell predicted in 1984.
China used and tested over 30 different medicines, including a Russian anti-viral drug, Triazavirin, and Cuba's Interferon alpha 2B (and here), in an attempt to cure the virus and stop the epidemic. The upside of such pharmaceutical medications is that they do not contain the virus. The U.S. pharmaceutical giant Gilead also sent its antiviral drug, Remdesivir, to China to test its effectiveness against the manufactured virus. At the same time, it appears that the Chinese also used natural cures (intravenous Vitamin C) to stem the virus (and here, here), adding to corresponding improvements in recovery rates. However, as noted above, there is now evidence that shows the virus was created in the U.S. and transferred to China, including evidence that it was then further combined with an HIV viral concoction obtained from Australia, with Big Pharma making billions in government subsidies, despite the overblown nature of the event.
From a multipolar point-of-view, China took measures to counteract the negative effects that the coronavirus outbreak is having on its economy, and therefore the world economy (and here and here). While this does not wholly debunk the existence of a program that would reduce its population and simultaneously develop its economy, it does show that China’s economic targets are being threatened by the virus, and thus in a multipolar view would be counter-productive for China to initiate it. (It is also worth noting that the Chinese doctor who warned in December 2019 of such an event, based on the Wuhan laboratory’s line of work, was reprimanded by local officials, although an apology was later issued; unfortunately, the doctor died from the virus that he presumably caught from one of his patients.)
In addition to seeing the effects of the virus on Chinese manufacturing, and the void created in supplying product to world markets, and seeing it as an opportunity for the cartel to reduce China's dominance in various markets (and here), consider another bacteriological event, where Chinese poultry was decimated by a virus that now forces China to import U.S. poultry, indicating that China is indeed under attack and is being impelled to conform to the larger objectives of the U.N.’s Agenda 21, including GMO food. In the past two years (during the trade war) China has suffered several pandemics:
- February 15, 2018: H7N4 bird flu. Sickened at least 1,600 people in China and killed more than 600. Many chickens killed. China needs to purchase US poultry products.
- June, 2018: H7N9 bird flu. Many chickens killed. China needs to purchase US poultry products.
- August, 2018: outbreak of African swine flu. Same strain as Russia, from Georgia. Millions of pigs killed. China needs to purchase US pork products.
- May 24, 2019: massive infestation of armyworms in 14 province-level regions in China, which destroy most food crops. Quickly spread to more than 8,500 hectares of China’s grain production. They produce astonishing numbers of eggs. China needs to purchase US agricultural products – corn, soybeans.
- December, 2019: Coronavirus appearance puts China's economy on hold.
- January, 2020: China is hit by a "highly pathogenic" strain of bird flu in Hunan province. Many chickens died, many others killed. China needs to purchase US poultry products.
From a unipolar point of view, the hyped pandemic—including quarantines and a corresponding reduction in China’s production and output—becomes a cover for a global recession, much as Lehman Bros. was for the Great Recession that began in 2008 (and for which the bailouts continue). Putin notes that the present recession will be worse than the previous one. It's all orchestrated by the financiers, who have crashed the system on the average every 5 1/3 years since the private Fed was created in 1913, to prevent hyper-inflation from their printing vast sums of money under-the-table to buy global assets and fund their military and intelligence black ops. Aside from the coming worldwide depression triggered by the shutdown of the global economy, the most significant financial event during this time is the reset of method by which the cartel creates Federal Reserve Notes; that is, the exchange of T-bills for FRNs has been jettisoned and replaced by Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) funded by the Fed and held by the Treasury department. As long as the Fed does not demand that the Treasury pay principle and interest on the SPVs, then essentially the financiers (via BlackRock, one of their largest private holding companies, which stands to make money coming and going on this) are running the Fed as a public central bank (base money), while keeping their private money creation franchise (bank money) via commercial and investment banks (here and here). Another example of unipolar cooperation is the strange exchange of medical supplies between the U.S. and Russia, which it sanctions, with Russia sending ventilators to the U.S. and the U.S. sending medical supplies to Russia.
From a multipolar point of view, if China was forced to submit to this event, the ability of the cartel to do so provides some credence to the current power of the cartel; however, China has shown great resilience over the millennia to endure setbacks and eventually find workarounds from foreign invasions and interference.
In any case, although the two global blocs, the Anglo-Euro-American banking cartel and the Sino-Russian coalition, are skirmishing on many other fronts as well. In the following analysis, we limit ourselves to what we consider to be the key theatres of war beyond the borders of the U.S., Russia, and China.

53U.S. sanctions were not decided by the United Nations Security Council, but by the United States alone. They are illegal in international law because, in order to make them more lethal, Washington is attempting to force third-party states to associate themselves with the motion, which constitutes a threat to the states targeted and therefore a violation of the United Nations Charter. The United States has the sovereign right to refuse to enter into commerce with other states, but not to exercise pressure on third-party states in order to harm their targets. Obviously, this type of rogue lawlessness must end. https://www.mintpressnews.com/us-sanctions-have-become-little-more-than-medieval-style-siege-warfare/252411/
