BRICS

[Frostbit]

Without googling do you know what BRICS is and where did you become aware of it?

[Gramps]

no

[80zephyr]

No.

[Celeste Chalfonte]

Not a clue.

ETA: Well, ain't that an unholy alliance!

[Frostbit]

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Brazil - Russia - India - China - South Africa and now 19 other countries have expressed interest in joining.

This is not like NATO for mutual protection this is an offensive move to monetarily remove the USA's hegemony by reserve currency status. BRICS was initially formed in order to remove the US dollar as the trade modality for fossil fuel, predominantly Russian fossil fuel. It's now grown legs.

Our dumb ass administration and Fed has jacked interest rates so quickly to "fight" inflation they created with money printing that not only is our banking system in jeopardy but the fiat currency value of every other currency in the world is plummeting. We've bludgeoned most every country in the world and they have had enough. The dollar is losing it's store of value very very quickly.

Seriously hard times are coming and we have the short bus crew running the show. ,

Luckily, every race and gender will end up equally as poor and as the WEF puts it, "You will own nothing and be happy". I'll add the "or else".

BRICS Draws Membership Bids From 19 Nations Before Summit

Saudi Arabia and Iran are among the countries who’ve formally asked to join, Sooklal said in February. Other countries that have expressed interest in joining include Argentina, the United Arab Emirates, Algeria, Egypt, Bahrain and Indonesia, along with two nations from East Africa and one from West Africa — which he didn’t identify.

[Michele]

Yes, because the market is on in our house, open to close, so even with the volume down I see things of interest. Lots of chaos around the world is helping BRICS.

And this is why worrying about what the next potential president thinks about a college swimmer competing against biological women ticks me off. There are more important things to worry about.

The voting public has zero say about economics in this country. I wish I could believe it's the ineptitude of the Fed and administration we have at present but watching the first three bank failures/closings, not counting recent First Republic, it's very obvious the government is attempting to close any onramps for digital assets because those decentralized stores of value can not be manipulated or controlled by the government. They think they can crush them in the US by squeezing the exchanges via closing banks. Signature Bank was solvent and the Fed shut them down trying to say they were going under like e SVB.

The exchanges will go offshore. Meanwhile Singapore, the UK, Europe, Hong Kong have all now adopted digital asset regulations. The money will go there and we will then be left with a rapidly debasing fiat currency that is no longer the world's reserve currency. The government will then call it a sudden crisis outside their control and institute a CBDC via the FedNow system later this summer and they alone will have control of all your liquid assets.

Initially they won't screw with you. They will say how easy this is for you. No more paper money to deal with. Think of it like a debit card. It will have no value backing just like our present dollar. They can create the CBDC out of thin air then force DEI - Diversity Equity and Inclusion standards. If you don't comply your CBDC's will be frozen.

Sounds nasty eh? I knew it was a matter of time but those behind the curtain know they MUST make this happen before November 2024 so the genie can't go back in the bottle. We will be the laughing stock of the world even more than we are because of crap like Dylan Mulvaney & Budlight dominating the news cycle while the real issues are ignored.

I've been on an active, truly international, hunting forum for two decades. Americans have lost the respect of the remaining free world thanks to this government.

yes

not much, but yes

Traitor Joe wants to "finish the job," and his Party claims his "proven track record" is jim-dandy.

Interesting perspective on the broad base of this topic from Africa

The people of this world need to understand what has just happened to us, and why, and (even more importantly) what WILL happen to us if we continue to allow some very nasty people to destroy our lives – we now KNOW we have been on the receiving end of the greatest crime ever to have been visited upon mankind … and if you are not so sure about this, please read on.

For the habitual nay sayers, sheeple and human ostriches out there, remember conspiracy theories cannot be proven – last time I looked anyway! The documentation and evidence to support the existence of this existential threat to mankind and our freedoms, our inalienable human rights, is quite overwhelming and the proof is growing daily. Watch Guy at the Coin Bureau for some gob smacking insights https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwRSzNTp2ko. Riveting stuff indeed!

SARS CoV 2 is now probably a man-made bioweapon, the most effective to date by far (making Cyklon B, weaponised anthrax, nerve gas etc look like child’s play) whose origins date back to at least 1999 when it was first patented. Yes, SARS CoV 2 was patented, by Pfizer, the maker of the first so-called “vaccine”, in 1999. This entity let’s call it (the actual virus has never been isolated) has killed and (through the so-called vaccine that was given to about 4 billion people) will likely kill and injure many more people than were harmed in the world wars – the complicated and very intricate patent trail (cleverly uncovered by the brave and brilliant Dr David Martin) tells all, and it proves the terrible lineage and shows the sordid history of this carefully constructed biological menace beyond any doubt.

Dr David Martin is the founding CEO of M∙CAM Inc., the international leader in intellectual property-based financial risk management. Watch this very impressive man in action in this very informative seventy minute FaceBook clip – some of it is a bit tedious, but after watching the first 30 minutes you will understand exactly what has just happened to the terribly beleaguered world we live in https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=530142078244383. Maybe for the first time … and what you will learn will make your heart sink. This interview comes highly recommended, and is almost hypnotic in its quality and amazing clarity. Watching this clip is crucial to any reader’s understanding of this plandemic, this carefully orchestrated plot to subjugate mankind.

Since 2015, Dr Martin has identified literally hundreds of SARS CoV 2 related patents that have been registered in the USA. Registered by whom, you may ask? Well, let’s see – the CDC, the FDA, Pfizer, Moderna, in fact pretty much every single major vaccine manufacturer in existence, the NIH, the NIAID, individuals like Tony Fauci, Bill Gates, Ralph Baric, Peter Dhazak, and a whole cast of homicidal villains who have already made massive filthy profits from our abuse. A provable record. No conspiracy here, just the appalling, gut-wrenching, indisputable truth. The substantiation of their wrongdoing is public record, now available to anyone using the internet.

By a lovely stroke of self-made karma these greedy bastards have registered and detailed their involvement (something that should make their eventual successful prosecution and conviction a walk in the park). In doing so they guaranteed their substantial profits, but they now know that their greed has also irrevocably incriminated them. To refute their culpability would be like taking a video of yourself shooting someone, and then trying to deny your involvement. Like all psychopaths, they are still of the opinion that even if they are ever caught, they will not be brought to book. That will be our job, and a wonderful lawyer by the name of Reiner Fuellmich and his committed co-workers have been labouring tirelessly to make the successful prosecution and conviction of these people possible, and inevitable. But that is another story, and there is lots more for you to read at this site https://stopworldcontrol.com/fuellmich/.

This is our own WWIII people, make no mistake about that, and the sideshows provided by Biden’s “administration” and others, including the Ukraine / Russia conflict, like Julius and his merry EFF band here in SA, and the incredible antics of the ANC are all quite simply just elaborate distractions. Read and watch Video: “It is not a Case of Pandemic, This is a Case of Murder”: Dr. David E. Martin – Global ResearchGlobal Research – Centre for Research on Globalizationand the purpose of these foggy, strange things that have been ruining our lives recently will become a little clearer. This patent trail reveals EXACTLY who the perpetrators are, and the when where and how they were involved in this massive genocidal scam.

So ….. WHY????

The end game is our total enslavement by a self-nominated and very wealthy “elite”. Sounds insane but this globalist agenda is becoming more and more evident with each passing day. They will control us all using facial recognition, boosted by compulsory registrations like the very annoying FICA crap we must complete every two minutes it seems, social and mainstream media, the proposed (and if we are not careful soon to be signed) agreement by our governments to commit us (without our permission) to the WHO pandemic amendment, the disappearance of folding money and the enforcement of the global use of digital currency – the so called CBDC.

If the current SA “government” (a term I use very loosely) signs the WHO pandemic amendment on our behalf, an ex terrorist, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who heads up the WHO (primarily funded by Gates and China BTW – you couldn’t make all of this up if you smoked weed for months!) will ultimately decide if we must be quarantined, vaccinated, sanctioned or whatever. The power this unelected WEF lackey will have over your life will be extraordinary, and I don’t mean this in a nice way. Please read this referendum, distribute to friends and family, and add your voice if you decline to be enslaved https://referendums.co.za/@NoWHO. Do it for your kids at least!

Think about it. There is no greater existential threat to our God given human rights, safety and well being than this unholy agenda. You have to acknowledge that their ideas and the sneaky, stealthy processes involved have been brilliant (in a very evil satanic way) but the implementation of their so-called Covid Crisis Plan has forced them to show their hands, to reveal the intricate methods that they have so carefully planned. You cannot fight an enemy you cannot see, but more and more people can see their heads above the parapets now.

And … HOW???

No one can do anything without money, and to control you they must control the money, AND be able to identify and track you. In London right now there is an estimated one camera for every nine people, and the ATM cash machines are steadily being removed. NO more cash people! They can turn your money off if you do ANYTHING to displease them – just ask the truckers and others in Canada who have bucked their tyrannical leaders under Trudeau. Ask people living in China, where this system is being very successfully trialed, and the kinks are being ironed out as I write.

When it is our turn, they will have removed all of the glitches. Once these draconian systems are implemented, we will be helpless to fight them. No turning back once they get us to where they want us to be.

The pieces of this ghastly puzzle are being made known to us by some very brave people, committed to the ongoing freedom of humanity, as we have known it. WE must follow their shining humanitarian example. There is only one way out, get involved, spread these truths, love and respect your fellow men and women enough to help them to understand what to most people is impossible to comprehend: normal people just don’t do this to others – right?

But these are not normal people, they are by definition sociopaths, and their intentions are becoming patently visible. This ghoulish agenda is being pushed by the World Economic Forum, led by a scary guy called Klaus Schwab. Ian Fleming himself couldn’t have created a more stereotypical villain. The WEF has been training “world leaders” to do their bidding (although from their recent performances perhaps world destroyers is more apt). Ever wonder how the response to this “pandemic” seemed so well orchestrated and implemented, so brilliantly rehearsed? This is because it has been planned for decades. In fact don’t believe me – go onto THEIR website’s many organograms to see how your future (not the one you were contemplating having) has been mapped out in vast detail – you can see what we will be doing next year https://www.weforum.org/.

The main players in their ghastly cast are the highly questionable and openly tyrannical Justin Trudeau, King Charles III, Angela Merkel, Emmanuel Macron, Jacinta Ardern, Gavin Newsome, Vladimir Putin, XI Jinping (there are likely dozens of names you may recognise, with little respect or affection I am sure). All of whom it seems, have completely disregarded or forgotten the needs and wants of the people who elected them there – were all part of the WEF’s Young Global Leaders programme. It might interest South Africans too that a few of their “leaders” were also pupils at this heinous school – Ramaphosa, and Manuel amongst others.

I saw a clip recently showing how Mandela and De Klerk had met with Schwab – that blew me away a bit I must say – he sure gets around, does old Klaus! Have your barf bag ready for when you see a picture of South Africa’s two Nobel Peace Prize laureates shaking hands together at Davos in 1992, where the WEF meets every year to plot our downfall. They too, are demonstrably part of this global deception, and our collective betrayal. Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Economic_Forum.

And in the breaking news section of this article, the SA Reserve Bank has just this last week given us notice (and you will note they forgot to ask us, the electorate, first) of their new financial system, that “will offer safer, faster payment options for all South Africans. PayShap, the low-value, real-time rapid payment platform, is aimed at deepening digital financial inclusion of both consumers and small businesses by making digital payments more convenient and reducing the reliance on cash in the economy”. This is the system that will phase out paper money, that will ensure ALL transactions will be done digitally by card, all will be monitored by the Reserve Bank. Every cent you spend, what you buy, where you bought it – are you ready for that massive incursion into your privacy? Big brother will CONTROL your every financial move. If you are a bad boy or girl, someone with unfettered access to the innermost workings of your life, will be able to turn your access to YOUR MONEY off. Your life will likewise be turned on and off. Like a tap. And you will not be able to do a frikking thing to stop this; no lawyer or constitution will be able to help you. Whatever their spin doctors are saying about the so-called benefits of PayShap, in reality it gives the government of this failed state, and the Reserve Bank (owned by the globalists) total control of your life. https://businesstech.co.za/news/bank...h-africa-soon/

One of Klaus’ closest advisors is an unusual individual called Yuval Noah Harari, who is listed in Wikipedia as a historian, philosopher and the bestselling author of several (weird) books. Need scary night-time reading? This is it, written by someone that openly says human beings are “hackable animals”, that they are “bad algorithms”, soon to be redundant, and to be replaced because machines could do it better – if your curiosity is piqued, go see more at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuval_Noah_Harari. If you have any doubt what these misfits think of their fellow man, that in their eyes you are a throw away entity, a “useless eater” (a WEF term first used by Hitler) – watch this bloke in action.

An archetypical trait of these maniacs is their almost unbelievable need to tell you what they are doing before they do it. It is in their books, on their websites, they repeatedly TELL us how they will control us all. They have special signs, and signals, nuances and expressions. Such is their arrogance, their self perceived omnipotence. They know that the great unwashed (us!) can’t stop them, or won’t because we are too scared, or stupid, or preoccupied with life’s challenges, or just plain cannot believe human beings can be so overtly malevolent.

We ‘hackable animals’ need to disappoint them in this regard! These people fear only one thing – and that is US. Yes. You and I, and any others who don’t feel like wearing slave yokes any time soon. We are OVER NINETY NINE PERCENT of the world’s population. If we unite and band together no one and nothing can stop our quest for human decency. Hell, if only 5% of us stand up to these arseholes and stop this mess we will win. They probably couldn’t handle active pushback from 2%! These people make Hitler and Stalin look like rank beginners, they cannot be allowed to dictate to you, or me, or worse, our kids. Or allowed to control our every thought and act.

Like it or not, you ARE ALREADY in The Great reset, the NWO, but if you want to see your name you must turn to the slave section. The stakes couldn’t be higher. Both sides are fighting for their very existence. If we win, they lose. And vice versa. Which side do you want to be on?

Say NO to tyranny! Or soon you will have to ask permission just to leave your home, go to the other side of town, or buy a loaf of bread.

2030, when you will own nothing and be happy, is closer than you think.

I see trading was halted for three more banks yesterday. Trading of Bank Shares Halted After Value Plunges (msn.com)

Some banks had trading shares halted on Tuesday morning after a drop in value amid ongoing widespread economic concerns in the United States.

On the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) website, a full list of regulator halts showed that both Western Alliance Bank and PacWest Bancorp were placed under a LULD Pause, also known as a "Limit Up Limit Down" halt. Both Western Alliance Bank and PacWest Bancorp had their halts lifted as of publication.

The trading halts came shortly after the banks experienced a decrease in share prices. Share prices of PacWest Bancorp fell over 30 percent by 10:49 a.m. ET, Yahoo Finance reported. Similarly, the share prices of Western Alliance Bank fell over 20 percent by 10:50 a.m. ET on Monday.

Trading halts are "typically applied ahead of a news announcement, to correct an order imbalance, or as a result of a large and abrupt change in the share price," according to Investopedia.

Doesn't sound good. I don't like the idea of regional banks crashing like a ton of brics.

Dang. Better keep worrying abut how much money is in my checking account.
