LAUGH-IN BREAK: THE ANATOMY OF A DUBIOUS MASS MOVEMENT AMIDST THE INTENSIFICATION OF DE-DOLLARIZATION

This is not about Ukraine but it is related because it is the same drama used by a collapsing power in many places, be it in Hong Kong or Ukraine.

This is about the current mass movement of students in Hong Kong.

This is supposed to be a worldwide mass action but the fact that it was another Western covert operation was not really hidden (purposedly done to supposedly demonstrate their power so they should be feared? )- in fact, it was blatantly telegraphed, because the same gimmicks were used in all the other places. Plus of course, there was the supposed call for help from the White House- to make it appear that the US is still the "leader of the free world"  (A big LOL here). Don't ask me what free world because even Americans are complaining Fascism has supplanted the previous credible democracy in the US.

 Let's annotate the usual gimmicks:

1. Students mass in Hong Kong (note, most of Western covert operations involve students as the main attack force, students still rely on allowance so they are cheaper, be it in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Venezuela, Ukraine, Manila, etc.)

2. The Western propaganda media went into overdrive, amplifying immediately a sense of crisis.

3. The usual financial gimmicks for the needed sense of impending doom. A bunch of college & high school students had a sudden mass action & the Hong Kong stock market, the biggest in Asia, reflected sudden negative movements. This is the most common gimmick of the Anglo-Zionist-American empire- because they have large financial tentacles, they can immediately execute "negative movements" like currency outflow to generate a picture of panic. The concerted action of the contrived stock market dips & dire prognostications from the Western propaganda press is supposed to create panic, which will amplify the supposed growing people's resistance. NOTE: this was the same gimmick done to the Moscow Stock Exchange whenever a sanction round was done to Russia. But this is mainly for propaganda- this is irrelevant because stock market changes are just snapshots, & they can't sustain the changes for a long time when inevitably the real markets reassert themselves.

4. Social Media. Suddenly, there are hundred thousands of supporters in Facebook, etc. Every Chinese anywhere in the world are  proud they are the richest country in the world & suddenly, they are looking for help in the now bankrupt, already fascistic US  .

5. This is the most laughable: suddenly, nearly two hundred thousand have petitioned the White HOuse to support the Hong Kong students      . That drama is supposed to telegraph the US is still the leader of the free world, as if sane people will still need a bankrupt power to lead anything.

6. Yellow Ribbon. This is the giveaway that they are not hiding anything. This is another color revolution (attempted, at least  ). The Yellow Ribbon is the theme of the movement in Hong Kong,  the Yellow Ribbon of the People Power Revolution in Manila or the Sunflower in Taiwan or like the Orange Revolution in Ukraine.


Many more.

WHY IS THIS LAUGHABLE?

BECAUSE OF TWO THINGS:

THE RISE OF THE EURASIAN CENTURY: The Real Threat to "Powers That Be"

I lined up a series of enlightening articles which could give us a more complete understanding of present events. We are at a juncture of a major shift in civilization & the epicenter is happening in the Eurasian continental landmass. The Philippines is at the rim, fence-sitting but could easily be pulled up to the winning stream. Below is the first article.

Russia's Real Threat to 'The Powers That Be'

Sun, 08/10/2014 - 09:49 — james

 In my last article, I made the case for the bankers pushing for a cold war with Russia with the aim of isolating it economically so as to capture the European market for their $US and rescue the bankers' position from total collapse. But where to from there for the bankers because they have ambitions of ruling the whole world, after all, and are not about to give that dream up. There is no rest for the wicked especially when a country such as Russia threatens their existence.
The bankers will be intent first of all on consolidating their political and economic grip on the US and Europe and also the Pacific Rim nations. The goal is to secure these economic markets so as to enforce the exclusive use of $US for international transactions within this trade bloc. The bankers' power stems from the use of the $US by other countries. Once (and if) this is done and having re-consolidated their power base, they will turn their full attention back to Russia, China, the other BRICS nations and also the recalcitrant Latin American nations such as Venezuela. The reason is that the bankers have another fundamental problem and it is to do with the economies of Russia and China.
These economies have a decided advantage over Anglo/Zionist economies and so the empire of the bankers must eventually wage war on Russia and China if it is to survive let alone rule the world.
But before we examine that weakness, let's zoom out into space a little to get a wider view on the world.

THE RISE OF THE EURASIAN CENTURY: From The Ashes of Hypocrisy

The biggest casualty of the Ukraine fiasco is the total loss of the credibility of the English-language mainstream press. It is without doubt the end stage of the Anglo-American empire & it is going for broke. The freedom of the propaganda press at its most mercenary. To no avail. It's all over but the shouting.

Actually, its patronage is at an all-time low (most Western newspapers are tottering into bankruptcy & suffers from low credibility) so the best thing to do is just ignore it. Most of the world already ignores it & its captive market is so disillusioned by all the economic morass it's obvious it can no longer be manipulated much to feed on outdated narratives. It saddens me though that the last English-language newspaper that I still bothered to read (the New York Times have long stopped pretending it is nothing but a propaganda toilet paper), the UK's The Guardian finally flushed itself into the toilet too. One of its latest headline read: "MH17: world's anger at Russia grows as bodies pile on train at crash site". It's articles echoed that alleged "growing anger" at Russia (though I still have to meet anybody who isn't awed by Russia under Putin these days, the Russians have become hot). If it had any fairness left, it should have been condemning that anger without any proofs instead.

Frankly, it is talking about a dumb, non-existent "angry" world conjured by desperate propagandists, confirming it is just part of the clique (though more discreetly handled, the shadow players obviously tried to shield  some of their assets from divulging themselves all at the same time, & the Guardian was the last reserve, a sign of desperation). They are insulting people: I thought people were more intelligent to wait for evidence before jumping into conclusions & be actually angry. No proof  has been shown that the Russians did it, at least they should have waited for the results of the black box (the Russian military explanation was actually more convincing than the one released by the White House spokesperson who has zero credibility anyway). Many  would rather believe it was another Western false flag operation which have become very rampant lately (there are many wars now & all of them are likely instigated by the Western has-beens). So why were they rushing the manipulation of false opinion now (the attempted manipulation lies only in their pages, because after the lies of the Iraqi weapon of mass destruction or the lie of the Syrian poison gas, nobody can actually be manipulated anymore because nobody takes them seriously in the first place)? Just their usual gimmick, typical smokes & mirrors: if they can fake enthusiasm for a fake economic recovery (the American economy shrunk by 2.9% in the first quarter), they can fake anything. They have a long track record of faking.

REVVING UP THE ASIAN CENTURY: Finally, The Start of Better Things To Come

So it's really here, the new multi-polar world. We finally have the structures that will signpost the new reality: a new financial system, at that. For several months now, there were these seemingly isolated movements: the Russia-China oil deal that uses their own currency, the formation of the Asian Infrastructure Development Bank by the Chinese to bankroll the modern Silk Road which will join East Asia to Western Europe, the non-dollar transactions initiated by various countries, etc. What finally focused these isolated "dedollarization" events into coherence was the recent establishment of the BRICS Development Bank & Fund  by the BRICS and some countries in Fortaleza, Brazil. This was supposed to just complement the World Bank & the IMF. Just play of words. The truth is, we finally have here the alternative. One backed up the world's number one economy, China, & the world's largest energy power, Russia. Between them, they have more credibility than the imploding Anglo-American empire.

It has already won by just being created. What is good here is that we won't need a war to supplant the old, just ignoring it will do. Whether the exiting powers like it or not, their system is too shot now to ever call the shots. The power of the has-been Western powers was their presumption that by controlling the finances, they could control anything. Well, they are not in the position to exert financial control to the emerging giants now, so they are down to the last resort, military, which won't intimidate either any of the big emerging powers like Russia or China.These newly-rich emerging countries could finance themselves on their own & they could actually just humor the has-beens & let them die looking for anybody willing to be fooled for much longer.

The Philippines may be one of the last fools and it is expected to be the last to extricate itself from the clutches of the has-been imperialists because of its gold (specifically the Marcos or Yamashita Gold) which will be used to prop up the bankrupt powers. Well, the Philippines will find itself abused again as it will be used to prop up a bankrupt financial system which has always let it rot into poverty anyway while its gold was used to suppress currencies to prop up the dollar (it was written by American author David Guyton that it was the gold that the US extorted from the Marcoses during the EDSA People Power Revolution which was used to bankrupt the Soviet Union) . With most of the really wealthy emerging countries withdrawing from the imploding dollar, the Philippines needs to find better use for its gold. If it wants to finally profit from its gold.

The real America which the Filipinos relate to with fondness is not free and it needs to extricate itself from the clutches of the Mafiosi shadow players which have debased it & the world for a century. The Philippines can help the real America free itself by no longer letting itself be raped again & again by the villains.

The world will soon be free and the Philippines & the real America should finally be free too.

When You See This Happen, You Know It's Game Over For The Dollar

inShare26

 

Submitted by Simon Black of Sovereign Man blog



Exactly 70 years ago to the day, hundreds of delegates from 44 nations were busy at work in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire creating a brand new financial system.
World War II had just ended. Europe was in ruin.
And since the US was simultaneously the largest economy in the world, the primary victor in the war, and the only major power with its productive capacity intact, it was easy to dictate terms: the dollar would dominate the new system.
Every nation would hold dollars as the primary reserve currency, and the dollar would be redeemable for gold at $35/ounce.
Also, global commerce would be conducted and settled in dollars, and these settlements would clear through the US banking system.
Naturally this created substantial demand from foreign governments who needed to begin accumulating dollars for trade and reserves.
So through a variety of programs, from the Marshall Plan to the IMF and World Bank, the US began flooding the world with dollars.
Initially everything went according to plan.
But soon the US government realized something important– foreign demand for the dollar was so strong that they could get away with printing more dollars than they had gold.
This allowed them to run all sorts of deficits and spending initiatives– more war, more welfare, more waste… all with minimal accountability.
Initially the consequences were insignificant.
Sure, the price of gold in London was a few dollars higher than in the US (they called this the ‘gold window’).
But demand for the dollar was still strong. So why bother changing?
By 1971, the situation had gotten far worse. Another decade of war, excessive spending, trade deficits, and money printing had pushed many foreign nations to their breaking points.
Foreign nations’ dollar reserves far exceeded the US government’s gold holdings. And with confidence waning, many began redeeming their dollars for gold.
Only days later, Richard Nixon put a stop to this and unilaterally terminated the US dollar’s convertibility to gold.
Think about the magnitude of this decision: Nixon was effectively defaulting on US obligations to the rest of the world– a complete betrayal of their trust.
Yet despite this massive shock that reset the global financial system, the dollar somehow managed to remain the world’s #1 reserve currency.
You’d think they would have been grateful, thanking their lucky stars that the rest of the world gave them a second chance. But no.
Over the past 43 years, the US has continued to print, devalue, and mismanage the dollar.

• Along the way, they’ve created epic bubbles and financial shocks.
• They’ve run up the biggest deficits and debt levels ever seen in the history of the world.
• They’ve bickered internally to the point of shutting down government.
• They’ve passed arrogant, painful regulations and commanded the rest of the world to comply under threats tantamount to financial homicide.
• They’ve unleashed their tax and securities authorities to terrorize anyone doing business with the US.
• They’ve totally ignored foreign pleas to restructure the IMF and World Bank.
• They’ve slammed foreign banks with record fines simply for doing business with nations that the US doesn’t like.
• They’ve waged pointless wars. They’ve spied on their allies. They’ve meddled in other nations’ affairs.
• And they’ve demonstrated absolutely no willingness or ability to improve.

Simply put, other nations are done. Fed up, really. And it’s not just words.
Consider that in a matter of months, the US will be overtaken by China as the world’s largest economy.
Not to mention, the total combined GDPs of China, India, Russia, and Brazil are roughly the same as the US and EU combined.
Just as the US was the biggest player back in 1944, China is the biggest player today. So it seems clear that the renminbi will become a critical component of a new financial system.
The renminbi already has experienced rapid growth as a dollar alternative for trade; in May, cross-border settlement surged 52% from the year prior.
Renminbi settlement banks are being set up from London to Canada, and the central banks of both France and Luxembourg have signed agreements for renminbi clearing.
There have already been numerous Western companies (like McDonalds) that have issued renminbi-denominated bonds.
And even the provincial government of British Columbia issued a renminbi bond earlier this year. It was a whopping five times oversubscribed.
I’d expect within the next 2-3 years we’ll start seeing trade settlement in renminbi, even when none of the parties are in China.
Today, for example, a transaction between a Paraguayan merchant and a company in Angola will likely settle in US dollars.
Soon, I think we’ll start seeing that transaction done in renminbi. And once that happens, you’ll know it’s game over for the dollar.
Shortly after, national governments in western countries will issue renminbi bonds (perhaps Greece or Portugal will be first). And eventually, even the US government itself.
Today, 70 years after Bretton Woods, leaders from China, Russia, India, Brazil, South Africa, and several other nations are hard at work in Fortaleza, Brazil creating a new development bank that will compete against the US-controlled World Bank.
This is a major step in an obvious trend towards a new financial system. Every shred of objective data is SCREAMING for this to happen.
It’s a different world. Everyone realizes it except for the US government, which is still living in the past where they’re #1 and get to call all the shots.
The consequences of missing this boat are enormous, and it’s going to be a rude awakening for anyone not paying attention.

The Coalition of the Willing Has-Beens (Mga Laos, In Short)

You can say it was a matter of being  childish in the end. The coalition of the willing... or coalition of the sucker? How about coalition of the New Poor?

Per World Bank records for 2013, Russia, of course, is the new richest country in Europe (GDP-PPP of $3.4 trillion, besting Germany's $3.3 trillion), with cash reserves of $500 billion & one of the biggest gold reserves in the world. So when the so-called Western powers- all has-beens, drowning in debts, clearly in decline but still pretending to call the shots- disinvited the Russian President Vladimir Putin to their G7 Conference in a childish effort to show they still amount to something after being humiliated by Putin's Crimea victory. Expectedly, they all  just fell flat some more on their faces. Since when did a group of has-beens become more powerful when the cash-rich one preferred to smooch anyway with another cash-rich one like him? Why should Putin waste time with the highly-indebted Western has-beens when the new richest European country, Russia, can always hang out with the new richest country in the world, China? Ano, magtitiyaga lang sa barya-barya?

Of course, this just goes to show the Western comedians are still in denial of their growing irrelevance in the new scheme of things, confirmed just recently by their Ukraine debacle. They still rely on the "smokes and mirrors" produced by their outdated propaganda machine and presstitute media, which, they admit or not,  have lost credibility almost totally. In a way, the Crimea crisis was the final proof the media can't control the narrative anymore. Vladimir Putin is definitely the most popular politician in the world now, and by making him the underdog by a hated bunch (which the Western has-beens are increasingly becoming), his popularity can only soar.

The outdated Western mantra: Either you with us... Or not! Lol! In the first place, that G7 is already a bunch of comedians- why isn't China even there when the basket case France is there? How about Putin pointing his nose to the air: "Do I know these people? Hitsura nito!"

How can a bunch of jokers and a discredited media isolate the most popular politician in the world? Two things can only result: Putin will become more popular, and the jokers will become more discredited.

As they say in Tagalog, huwag patulan ang mga bata. Putin shouldnt stoop to their level. If ever, the Crimea drama is already a nudge to reality. With his astute mind and wit, Putin has more in his arsenal to provide more nudge.

All the more, the inevitability of a new world separate from the imploding Western financial system is getting closer and closer. The highly-liquid, cash-rich, commodity-rich alternatives led by Russia and China should undercut once and for all the tottering Ponzi of the comedians.

NB
A very small preview of things to come. When the US, with a relatively small trade with Russia so little or no leverage, still tried its usual cocky propaganda trick of projecting power ("sanctions") & sanctioned Bank Rossiaya, among others, Visa and Mastercard cockily followed suit and blocked their cards operating via those banks. Big wonder why they immediately restored their services soon after? Wonder no more, the Russians just announced they will be issuing their own national card  in two months time. Imagine, just for being presumptuous, being shut out in the biggest market in Europe. Then imagine, forewarned, the Chinese following with their own. The comedy (AKA the dismantling of a financial empire) thickens.

Asian Century & Crimea, Russia

So, Crimea will be a part of Russia. I put credence more in the Russian Kosovo argument, that if Kosovo had the right to self-determination,so did Crimea too. We can't live anymore in a world ruled by Western double standards. That belongs to the past. In the Asian Century, there's no room for has-been pretensions. Congratulations, Crimea, Russia!

Below is an interesting article by Dr. Paul Craig Roberts. A curious assertion: if we follow the reasoning of the West, that a vote of the country a part wants to depart from is required, then Crimea was never a part of Ukraine because Ukraine is still part of Russia. Did theRussians vote that the Ukrainians were let go?

...  Washington claims, falsely, that the referendum cannot be valid unless the entire population of Ukraine votes and agrees with the decision by Crimeans. Note that when Washington stole Kosovo from Serbia, Washington did not let Serbians vote.

But lets overlook Washington’s rank hypocrisy and self-serving double-standards. Let’s apply Washington’s argument that in order to be valid any change in Crimea’s status requires a vote on the part of the population of the country that it departs. If this is the case, then Crimea has never been a part of Ukraine.

Under Washington’ s interpretation of international law, Ukraine is still a part of Russia..

It's a new world. Many countries were created to suit the needs of former Western colonizers & "financial overlords". When today, these Western countries are on the ropes financially (or even intellectually, as confirmed by their now obvious presstitute media which is losing credibility by the day), there's no reason why they should still hold sway with their arbitrary whims as before. Still acting by their fundamental edict that whoever controls the finances controls politics, they will continue with their delusion as long as they are allowed to control the world finances. Creating money out of nothing an exclusive franchise? At a time when it's very obvious they are merely propping their existence by blowing bubbles and other manipulations (e.g. roaring stock market because of money printing and other manipulations while the real economy is on the doldrums, etc.) should encourage everyone else to free themselves from an imploding financial system merely surviving on duct tape anyway. The inevitable will harm anybody who won't get out in time. Actually, everybody are on that trajectory already (even the Philippines with its now low debt ratio is effectively getting out after being burned by the IMF, e.g. notwithstanding the calamities which prompted supposedly "respected" Western financial magazines to float the idea of "$15 billion" needed for rehabilitation, trying to promote their racketeering gimmick at the expense of misfortune,etc.). Getting out of the creaky dollar system has become an emeregency.

 It's not a total repudiation of whatever the West has contributed for the past centuries. But just as the Medicis borrowed the accounting tricks of the Arabs in front-loading the Western financial systems, the emerging countries will pick and choose what will suit them going forward. What's important, the narrative has really changed. It's the turn of our part of the world.

Read the whole article below. From the reliable Globalresearch.ca.

Comedy in Living Dangerously: I told you so, it's already the Asian Century, stupid!

If ever there was any doubt, it just got confirmed last week. They call it a "multi-polar world", I prefer to call it Asian Century. The incredibly bloodless redemption of Crimea by Russian supporters is a classic, and it will go down in history as the high standard of historical rectifications. Crimea has always been Russian but the Soviet leader, Nikita Krushchev, who was Ukrainian, gave Crimea to Ukraine in 1954. Now that it can, Russia is right to accept Crimea, which despite half a century under Ukraine, still chose to be Russians.

The Ukraine drama has become the European confirmation for what we Asians already know. It  had all the props of the usual Western regime change gimmick (the hackneyed "People Power", but this time, with the added cast of snipers to trigger a bloodbath), and it was supposed to be a grave event, but it turned out actually hilarious as the Keystone cop scenes unfolded before our eyes:

1. The Western countries, all highly indebted and still on denial of their melting clout, loudly hectoring sanctions like they've gone used to. They were intimidating cash-rich Russia which just became the richest country in Europe in 2013 with GDP-PPP of $3.4 trillion compared to Germany's $3.3 trillion, while their failing financial systems were lubricated with Russian money and their energy needs were dependent on the Russians . I howled with laughter with that one, just imagining the irony is ridiculous.

2. The Western mass media has lost its clout as it's practically not taken seriously anymore. It's role as setting the narrative, to distract and fool the public so the gangsters can steal however they like, is no longer working. The general incredulity that was first noticed during the Syrian chemical weapon drama was much stronger now and it was clear the general mood was in favor for the Russian President Vladimir Putin. Actually Vladimir Putin has become my favorite politician. I still can't get over being overwhelmed by that classic: the bloodless takeover of Crimea under the nose of the enemies all ganged up in Ukraine itself. Bravo, Putin!

Taking a cue from the growing irrelevance of the Western media, countries should do something about those Western celebrities used for soft power. They are as vulnerable as the bogus Western media: they should be banned, they just compete with local talents. Their effect on the locals are overestimated anyway, they just waste space in magazines and billboards. The Western media, entertainment and the advertising industry have been busy propaganda outlets and they have become bores, we need more interesting and relevant products.

3. The present international setup has actually lost its credibility altogether. International organizations have always been used to bolster propaganda of the old system, and like the Western mass media which is no longer respected, much of these organizations and NGO's are fronts. It was right that the OSCE men sent to Crimea was not let in. These people are part of the drama to obfuscate facts and it's time to not invite them to the party. How could they be trusted when even the politicians were blatantly dishonest? That agreement of the European foreign ministers with the former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovitch was promptly forgotten after the bloodbath which prompted Yanukovitch' fall. Alas, it turned out the bloodbath was not done by Yanukovitch's men but it could have been done by the side supported by the Europeans themselves.

After it was proved that the Americans have been engaged in regime change, here is a proof the Europeans were not  as innocent after all. The EU official, Catherine Ashton, whose face was always seen in Maidan, was shown as not too innocent that the sniper who triggered the bloodbath which caused the fall of Yanukovitch was not one of Yanukovitch' men after all. When the Estonian Foreign Minister reported to her (captured on tape) that there were signs the snipers who killed both the police and the rallyists were the same after all, it was clear the reaction of Ashton was bogus surprise. True to form, a quick investigation wasn't in the script (believe it or not, she hasn't resigned).


 


3. "People Power" as a legitimate political manifestation has been fatally tarnished forever by Western regime change intervensions. Now, it will be much easier for governments to treat harshly "foreign agents", especially now that international media and organizations have lost their credibility.

In countries who had the stupidity to be suckered into "People Power' covert operations in the past, there's a sense of initially thought-provoking but ultimately darkly hilarious, "deja vu" in watching the recent Ukraine drama. Amusing to know, gullible people are not only found in our part of the world. The Ukrainians twice proved they were just as gullible too (they had another Color Revolution before). The Philippines too had a series of People Power revolutions and after three decades, it is still poor and corrupt, just like the other Latin American & post-Soviet countries "blessed" by "People Power" covert operations. Ukraine will be likewise as expected, but, worse: they led their country to break up. I'm not even sure Ukraine will still exist as a single country.

The only silver lining is that its confirmed, we're in the Asian Century. There will be resistance, perhaps even violently (with more usual frenetic propaganda noise or even the potential nuclear weapons), but the world has turned a page. Fortunately.
