BRICS was created during Obama term as the trade bloc realized Obama was serious about selling out the U.S. and they needed a foil against corporate driven globalism.
(2) Our econ adversaries realized Obama's intent to kill the U.S., the fundamental change part, would mean massive bleeding into a pool of corporate piranhas'...
(3) BRICS realized the result would be a monster unleashed into the world. Yes, BRICS do not align with the U.S. ideologically (Wall Street driven), but the monster when matured would be too big for them to battle.
(4) The nations who assembled BRICS, saw Obama giving the U.S Commerce Dept to Wall Street via the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
The US CoC would write the trade deals [TPP (transpacific, and TTIP (transatlantic)] to the benefit of the multinationals.
(5) Obama Inc were cool with that because it was in line with the ideology, the overall plan to weaken the U.S. and get us knocked down. O-Inc also knew kickbacks would forever maintain their elite status.
(6) But a totally corporate driven transpacific trade pact and a totally corporate driven transatlantic trade pact, meant the multinational corps would have more power and control than the government's involved.
(7) This might be okay for Davos and WEF crews, but some nations, specifically some types of leaders, do not like corporations having more power than the govt.
Ultimately, BRICS was formed as a counterbalance to this dynamic.
(8) After the 2016 election, the BRICS group essentially dissolved, they didn't even have their annual meetings, because Trump was viewed as breaking the corporate influence. Trump's America First program was a wrench in the TPP/TTIP machine.
(9) It was the totality of the multinational corporate interests who were impacted by Trump that aligned against Trump, to get rid of Trump, because he was fucking it all up with his economic nationalist agenda.
(10) As soon as Trump was removed, literally within days of the 2020 election, the BRICS group were back on the phone together planning their first meeting in four years on the back of the 2021 G20 summit.
(11) In the BIGGER PICTURE that no one in media is allowed to discuss, you find this economic dynamic.
BRICS -vs- WEF/EU/NATO
It's clear as day in the Russia/Ukraine conflict.
(12) India didn't abstain from the Security Council vote because of a lack of sympathy for Ukraine.
India abstained because the BRICS relationship is ultimately more consequential to India, and strategically much more important than Ukraine, or NATO, or anything else.
(13) As Putin deals with all facets of this Ukraine issue, harshly or not, you will not see Brazil, India, China or South Africa act, vote, or do anything of substance against him.
The bigger issues are way bigger than Ukraine.

(14) Addendum... As if on cue, one of the domestic piranha feeders surfaces. These people like Murkowski hate us, and consider themselves above it.
(1) Fascism was traditionally defined as an authoritarian govt working hand-in-glove with corporations to achieve objectives. A centralized autocratic govt headed by a dictatorial leader, using severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.
(2) That system of govt didn’t work in the long-term, because the underlying principles of free people reject govt authoritarianism. Fascist govts collapsed, the corp beneficiaries were nulled/scorned for participating.
Then, came a new approach to achieve the same objective.
(3) The World Economic Forum (WEF) was created to use the same fundamental associations of government and corporations. Only this time, it was the multinational corporations who organized to tell the government(s) what to do.
(1) Riddle me this... If Biden Inc are so worried about Russia-Ukraine causing horrible spike in energy costs (gas etc.) then why would they simultaneously be cancelling Oil/Gas leases?
(2) I'm trying to wake people up, by asking a simple rhetorical question.
The answer is.. If Biden admin believed the message they are promoting, they would NOT be crushing U.S. energy development *and* simultaneously confronting Russia-Ukraine, while claiming worry about energy
(3) The reality is... The ideological team behind Biden are using Russia-Ukraine as a cover to conflate the outcomes of their own Climate Change policy agenda.
1/ All the operations inside Ukraine are coordinated, planned and carried out by U.S. intel and State Dept.
Everything they are doing is a pantomime. Previously done in Libya and most comparable recently, northern Syria.
They also want to remove Zelensky.
2/ The weird part is... Zelensky knows this.
As he pointed out today, if the U.S. knows Russia is going to invade Ukraine, with such specificity as proclaimed within their assuredness, then why is the U.S. waiting to trigger sanctions?
3/ If the invasion by Vladimir Putin is a foregone conclusion, then why wait with these sanctions designed to deter him?
What Zelensky is doing is calling the bluff. But notice he's not calling Putin's bluff. He's calling Biden's.
Just throwing out stuff for dot connectors on the Rodney Joffe, Neustar, White House EOP data access issues from timeline. Durham notes Joffe contract beginning 2014. Now consider...
2. The question we should ask is what is Durham doing when he encounters an outside person who uses their knowledge of institutional action as a defense?
What evidence exists in the Durham sphere where he is targeting a person who we know has direct shield by DC involvement?
3. The reference for this type of analysis is found specifically in the way James Wolfe was treated. Wolfe was protected by the people who directed his unlawful conduct, the intelligence leaks.
