The End for The Empire of Lies

[gringo]

       "There are decades where nothing happens, and there are weeks where decades happen."
       The above is a quote by Lenin, made whilst living in exile prior to the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.

       It is apt when applied to the geopolitical turmoil currently occurring. The overturning of decades of "World order" shaped by the collective West ever since the break up of the Soviet Union is being accomplished in weeks/months, largely by the successor state to the USSR, Russia, which demonstrates  Twain's observation that, "History never repeats, but it often rhymes."  There are many rhymes 
       The speed and significance of geopolitical and geo-economical events is upending the World order. Meanwhile, in the collective West, we are fed blatant "War Propaganda" by our supposed independent media who studiously ignore hugely significant events unfolding everywhere that document in real time this "upending". Russian media banned because...
      Ukraine is merely one small part of current events. The western media giving blanket coverage to any subject is a clue to the discerning to look elsewhere to see what's being obscured. Ukraine just happens to be the particular square of the geopolitical chessboard that the latest UK/US/NATO gambit to break up and weaken Russia, in order to control the trillions of oil/gas/gold/mineral reserves that Russia happens to be sitting on, is playing out. It is desperate gambit born of desperate times for the collective West and is destined to fail. As the unipolar world dies screaming, the new multipolar world is being born.


                                             PART ONE ( The Death of the Dollar )

       Almost unreported in Western media, the ongoing and accelerating ditching of the dollar in world trade and therefore as reserve currency not only gathers pace, it is turning into a sprint. China and Russia introducing a "basket of currencies" which are "commodities backed" and bypassing the dollar is game-changing. Russia selling it's gas only in Rubles to "unfriendly countries" demonstrating quite clearly who is in charge of the board. Saudi Arabia doing a huge oil deal with China, denominated in yuan. All of this unthinkable until now. The world, or at least 7/8ths of it, has had enough of UK/US/NATO bullying, warmongering, piracy, theft and extortion and refuses to join the "Collective West" in sanctioning Russia. It turns out, much to the "Collective West" surprise that there is such a thing as the "Collective East" and they are now, with Russia at the forefront, standing up to the rapidly becoming less "Collective West."
       Russia domestically tying the price of gold to the ruble, along with "No rubles, no gas" to unfriendlies was a predictable response to the self defeating idiocy of the EU and Western sanctions on Russia. That the supposed leaders of those countries now suffering the economic blowback couldn't or didn't predict a severe Russian response to the the theft/freezing of their funds in Western banks defies belief. Why would they imagine that Russia would keep supplying gas, whilst they keep supplying now useless Euros/Dollars which are then stolen/frozen in Western central banks due to sanctions? The EU response to double down and triple down on self defeating sanctions will be their downfall. They have taken their own gun, shot themselves in the foot and then the other foot, and now they are aiming the gun at their own head. The rest of the world also sees the outright piracy of the West and takes notes.
       The Ruble, predicted to crash by "western experts" to 200/250 rubles to the dollar has in fact bounced back to around 75/80 rubles to the dollar. It is the aggressor nations of the "collective west" whose economies are collapsing. The latest "Sanctions from Hell" another in a long list of recent failed and increasingly desperate gambits by the diminishing Western powers to save the petrodollar system.
     https://thesaker.is/rublegas-the-worlds-new-resource-based-reserve-currency/
 An informative essay from Pepe Escobar in the link above is worth reading. It would be in UK media if we had one that functioned and dared to "speak truth to power" rather than "tells lies on behalf of power"
       World power has disproportionately been wielded by the US/UK led NATO alliance since the break up of the USSR. Particularly the illegal use of sanctions, non UNSC approved, against countries who refused to kowtow. If sanctions don't have the desired effect, after relentless propaganda, a regime change will be attempted via western sponsored "colour revolutions".
       If all this fails then NATO, the largest and most criminal, genocidal organisation ever, will invade, destroy, break up the country in question and call it "Responsibility to Protect". There are a lot of problems to unpick to take on the "Empire of Lies". Financial power and military power are the foundations that facilitate the criminal, genocidal aspirations of the Empire and they are being systematically dismantled and destroyed by a Russia/China alliance and backed by an ever growing bandwagon of countries who see the new multipolar world order being born.
       The dismantling of US financial power continues apace but can only really succeed if the muscle behind it (NATO) is also neutralised which leads us to Part Two.     
     
         
       
       
       

[gringo]

 PART TWO ( NATO - Exposed as a Paper Tiger )

      NATO is nothing more than the muscle behind the criminal actions of the NATO bloc primarily sponsored by the US with a leading support role played by UK and France. Used not to defend countries who are part of this so called "defensive alliance", but exclusively to attack resource rich countries under some false pretext. It is their MO. Nobody can credibly deny this. You need to forget too much recent history to believe that NATO are anything but the military muscle behind the criminal, genocidal policies of their corrupt and owned governments. Yugoslavia, Libya, Iraq, Syria, Yemen etc. The list is endless and will never end until NATO are defeated.
      Russia along with China, Iran and many others understand that NATO will come for them next and that "United they will stand but if divided they will fall." The collaboration and alliances between these states have upended the board in ways unforeseen by NATO planners.
      NATO is toothless against the military advances made by Russia, something which Russia is exposing in real time. Iran have previously demonstrated that deadly accurate missile tech is a game changer in military affairs and has rendered NATO threats irrelevant. Russia moved it up a couple of notches. There will be an inevitable draw down of NATO bases from countries where they have invited themselves. Cheap, available missiles make all Middle Eastern bases un-defendable. These are unavoidable consequences.
      After the debacle of the Afghanistan withdrawal and NATO inability to do anything to "Stop Russia" it has been aptly demonstrated that NATO is a paper tiger. The rest of the world no longer fears NATO. Decades(centuries?) of Western hegemony upended in the blink of an historical eye.
     The BRI, SCO etc. along with new currency trading rules bypassing the dollar and SWIFT system and US led NATO bloc helpless to do anything about it. This is where we are in reality. The world is changing and the meek are indeed inheriting the earth. With their financial power diminishing and their military threat exposed as weak, what is left? Relentless propaganda is the only tool left hence the banning of Russian media and censorship of opposition voices.
      Propaganda can only go so far and facts and reality on the ground eventually tell their truth regardless of lies but it is the West's final tool.

[gringo]

PART THREE (SFX, Lies and videotape - The propaganda war and war crimes)

         The Mighty Wurlitzer is working overtime to convince the masses of Russian war crimes whilst failing to address the very real war crimes of Ukrainian Nazis and the ongoing war crimes of the NATO alliance. The sanctimonious hypocrisy on display from Western leaders who sponsored and turned a blind eye to countless( and not even counted) civilian deaths in the levelling of Fallujah, Raqqa, Mosul. Those who are directly responsible for the killing of millions, the displacement of millions more as well as the destruction of countries and their infrastructure leading to many more indirect deaths from disease. Those who sponsored and armed attempts to violently overthrow governments around the world are now shocked and horrified at civilian deaths, or so we are to believe.
     The stories are so obviously lies and propaganda that they debunk themselves within a day on contact with with air and reason. Ukrainian/NATO crimes reported as Russian crimes. There is no bottom to the depravity of NATO criminality. The Bucha crimes are proven by the timeline of events to be Ukrainian crimes. Anyone following events in Ukraine over the last eight years knows only too well of the genocidal crimes that have been ongoing from the Ukrainians during this time.
      The now predictable playbook of UK/US intel agencies is becoming ever more obvious. Videos of clearly staged events amplified above all else in all media outlets. Some gullible westerners will still lap it up but facts on the ground are all that counts in the end. The rest of the world want answers as to what was going on in the biolabs in Ukraine. The US are all over the place and making contradictory and red flag raising statements about the now undisputed US Dept. of Defence funded biolabs that are placed around Ukraine. This is going to be an explosive story.
       First of all the existence of biolabs was Russian disinformation.
       The next shoe to drop was the Victoria Nuland testimony before congress where she admitted that the US did have biolabs in Ukraine, whilst also claiming that they were not bioweapons labs but also that the Russians need to kept from getting their hands on whatever is there which would be a dangerous bioweapon if Russia had it.
       All makes perfect sense.
       These claims have now had added clarification. The US has no "offensive" bioweapons labs in Ukraine. By inference they are now admitting that they have "defensive" bioweapons labs in Ukraine. In the increasingly Orwellian NATO bloc where truth are lies and war is peace, we can all understand what is meant by "defensive" bioweapons.
       If this were Russia, China or any other making these admissions, contradictory statements and clarifications about hundreds of biolabs throughout various countries then we would treat them with the obvious disdain they deserve. Truth requires no corrections or clarifications. The US are self evidently lying about the existence and purpose of these labs. Russia, China and others are demanding and will get answers. Soon even the Mighty Wurlitzer will be unable to hide the truth.

                                            PART FOUR (The new World Order)

      Russia, China and the multipolar world order have won, the Great Resetters have been reset. It will take time for the aftermath and consequences of the overturning of the western system to fully unravel but there can be little doubt that western financial power and sanctions regimes are being rendered null and void by the moves in currency and commodity trading backed by China/Russia. Western military might has been exposed as incapable of taking on anything other than small weak defenceless countries(and still get beat).
     The propaganda arm (the media) having to work overtime to hide the failures mentioned above and as a consequence, merely helping along their own discrediting amongst even the usually unquestioning. Like the boy who cried wolf, in the end everyone just assumes he is lying. Our media have cried wolf way too often and shown too few wolves to be believed. People who usually ask no questions, suddenly are. As the moves in the world financial system start to impact more and more people's everyday lives then even more will ask questions. The usual lies will not pass muster at this point.
     The old World Order is dead/dying. Exposed as pirates and thieves to the rest of the world. Goodbye Empire of Lies.

Good to see you Gringo.     Some deep reading there for me, though to me, it's always been about power and greed in this world.

    Hi, Lookout 
      It is about power and greed. It is about Western power and greed being stood up to and dismantled finally after centuries of wars for resources. Russia have no desire to control our resources, it is all one way. They are self sufficient and incredibly resource rich. They require nothing.
      Russian armed forces serve Russian people.
      Chinese armed forces serve Chinese people.
      The armed forces of NATO countries serve bankers and financial and corporate interests(oil, gas etc.)
and act as the muscle behind the criminal actions of their masters.
      The above is a self evident truth.
      Russia, China, Iran etc. have launched no wars for resources. NATO's rap sheet tells its own story.
      Russia, China etc. are not the countries who demand regime change in countries, impose illegal sanctions and sponsor colour revolutions, nor do they arm and sponsor insurgencies to overthrow governments.
      That's all on the US/UK/NATO criminal alliance.

[lookout]

We're renowned for interfering in other countries ! We should be self-sufficient in everything and independent from relying on other countries instead of meddling where we shouldn't. Our governments have been all yap instead of knuckling under and getting things done.
There are heaps of things I don't agree with-----too much freedom of speech for a start, which is an absolute myth when it all boils down, but certainly an abuse of freedom on some levels.

This is no longer the world, least of all this country that I once knew. The UK as I know it is finished.
I have to agree with you gringo.

On this specific point, I would beg to differ.

I think Russian armed forces serve Russian bankers and financial and corporate interests and act as the muscle behind the criminal actions of Russian masters.

Likewise, Chinese armed forces serve Chinese bankers and financial and corporate interests and act as the muscle behind the criminal actions of Chinese masters.

Meanwhile, as you say, NATO armed forces serve bankers and financial and corporate interests and act as the muscle behind the criminal actions of their masters.

In other words, we are all living under disinterested elites, it's just that there are different emphases and approaches between the different power blocs.  The USA and NATO have adopted a liberal-internationalist model of capitalism, which has its roots in English liberal thought and has developed into a system that disregards national interests as parochial.  This is the case even for the United States.  Had Hilary Clinton won the 2016 presidential election, she would have turned NAFTA into a Pan-American integrated free-trade zone with free movement of people, in effect shafting the Democrats' own blue collar voters, and much of its middle class base as well.

Powers such as Russia and China have adopted more of a 'national' model of capitalism, which - yes - to a large extent better serves the interests of ordinary people in those countries, but ultimately is intended to serve the interests of those elites.

I only suggest that Britain withdraws from needless interventions and adopts a neutral posture - which is to say, neither 'for' nor 'against' Russia or anyone else, unless necessary in the national self-interest.  In doing so, this will - I believe - better serve the interests of ordinary people, though I also acknowledge that it won't change the fundamental fact that Britain's elites do not actually care for ordinary people in Britain.

    I'm not even sure that there is any disagreement, Gascoigne, more a question of interpretation.
       To flesh it out further. Whilst the armed forces of any country follows the policy and orders of the national government, governments to some varying extent, have to serve the people.
       Russian and Chinese governments would not be able to send their forces into the aggressive  resource and regime change wars. They would not survive because their populations have no tolerance for aggressive wars. Western populations project their own cultural mindsets too much onto others.
       People may agree or disagree with this but the proof is in the pudding. 
       Western populations, by and large, not only tolerate the criminal aggression of their governments but often support it. The wars of just the last 3 decades since the dissolution of the USSR would not be tolerated by Russians or Chinese but Western populations have allowed an endless list of criminal wars.
       The second part of your comment that is highlighted largely reflects the above. Question of interpretation, that is all.

    In what was certain to be a close run race to provide the most irrelevant fuck-wittery as a response, I would have to say it is a tie between the usual suspects.
     It seemed that Steve invoking Stalin in his first reply was going to be a game winner.
     Not to be outdone, David immediately jumped in with the Hitler comparisons, complete with a play on words that is so strained it is amusing only to those with a reading age below 12.
