Rule by the Minority, for the Minority
This has never worked, for obvious reasons. But it certainly has been tried. Communism and Fascism are excellent examples – political ideologies that purport to distribute wealth evenly but in fact put all the goodies in the hands of the oligarchs who run the country, while leaving the people uniformly poor.
In recent years, we in the West have been subjected to our own form of ‘rule by the minority, for the minority’; the woke, who throw tantrums and insist that the rest of us sacrifice to meet their imaginary needs. And it’s working. Our governments give these fringe groups more and more influence, while taking away power from those of us who are actually contributing to society.
Why We Need Fear BRICS
Until recently, other than their possible new currency, which has the potential to wipe out the U.S. dollar all on its own, BRICS was not a serious threat. But this past January four new countries joined, Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates with Saudi Arabia likely soon to follow.
As I mentioned in my special report, if Saudi Arabia does join, BRICS will control more oil reserves than OPEC, and that’s with just ten member countries. Also expressing interest in membership are Cuba, Belarus, Vietnam, Turkey, and Venezuela, all serial human rights abusers, as well as Bahrain, Mauritania, Laos, Kazakhstan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Thailand. If these countries joined, there would be 22 BRICS nations compared to 31 in NATO.
Together these BRICS nations have more than sufficient economic power to rival the EU, the US, and the other Western nations combined, and with China and Russia already have sufficient military power to pose a major threat.
Alliances are Forming
If we need any evidence that this buildup of power among the BRICS nations could lead to WW3, we need look no further than the actions of countries on both sides:
• The U.S. signed a deal last week with Ukraine, to provide $50 billion in loans for defense.
• South Korea, in a major policy change, are now considering selling arms to Ukraine.
• Russia and North Korea signed a mutual defense pact on June 19th
• North Korea may sell ammunition to Russia
• North Korea is building defensive walls along their border with South Korea
• China is preparing to attack Taiwan, and it is unlikely in the current global environment that other countries will do more than possibly impose trade sanctions.
• China is also harassing the Philippines, hoping to have them fire the first shot so China can take the Philippines as well.
It is clear that the countries most likely to be involved in such a conflict believe it not only possible, but likely, and they are preparing.
