I don't trust Russia or China. Both are masquerading as opponents but are fully endorsing the WEF/WHO Vax and Covid policies.

South Africa's Ramaphosa is an acolyte of the WEF and his brother-in-law is a trustee on the WEF board

January 2020. The World Economic Forum (WEF) has asked International Monetary Fund MD Kristalina Georgieva and African Rainbow Minerals chairperson Patrice Motsepe to join its board of trustees.

20 June 2022. 'Ramaphosa to meet with Russian and Chinese leaders this week to discuss

‘new global era’

President Cyril Ramaphosa will meet with leaders of China, Brazil, Russia and

India at the BRICS Leaders’ Summit this week, with the global economy set to

be a major talking point among the world leaders.

Writing in his weekly letter to the public, Ramaphosa said this week’s summit

aims to usher in a ‘new era for global development’ that is more inclusive, sustainable and fair.

“Through the reform of the multilateral system, including the United Nations, and by refocusing the attention and resources of the global community on the sustainable development agenda, the BRICS group can support a sustained and equitable global recovery,” he said.

They are all on the bandwagon of the UN's WEF's "Sustainable development" plan. BRICS and IMF are partnering.

My thoughts too, Jack.

Nobody associated with the WEF or the NWO can be trusted. We are on our own.

Hi Vanessa,

Reading your article and replies they do remind me to my observations over the past centuries. While the technologies on which our civilization is based gets ever more complex, the people living in those societies are ever more educated on the basis of a black-white masterprint. Together with a distorted-superficial view on history (I nowadays do tech school children because it’s fun) this is a perfect recipe for a degrading society. This is especially true in western societies and yes, uneducated peasants are easier to control by those in power but by doing so they destroy the basis of their own society. Ironic, isn’t it?

Their are no saint‘s in politic, they are mostly interested in their own survival and careers. Only very view rise to the top and remain focused on those who elected them (which in itself is to simplistic).

How does a sane person / politician / country navigates safely in treacherous waters without knowing what lies ahead?

I admire Putin und Lavrov for what they have accomplished and can only grasp what it must have been like. The western leaders range between bad actors and puppets with evil groups controlling them.

However, human history is full of them and humanity still progressed. So I remain optimistic since the end of the 500 years of colonial-neocolonial rule is in sight.

Thanks Klaus for an insightful comment. I also think a lot of the documentation of all the predator class nefarious plans is often little more than computer modelling. We, as human beings are complex entities with vast psychological and spiritual reserves if we empower ourselves to use them fully. Xx

The question remains: How many more innocents must die of the torture of starvation and the wars that cause it before EU & US policy makers grow up and learn one nation or block of nations cannot rule the world in perpetuity. The US/EU block is the very definition of white supremacism, and adding in a token minority like Japan does not fool anyone. Nonetheless yours is a truly excellent summary of global trends. Thank you. GB of https://altnewsreview.com & https://altnewsreview.substack.com

While I like the premise of the article and would love to believe it, I can’t help thinking it’s a bit idealistic and blinkered in its view of Putin and Xi being ‘on the right side of history’. This view may be more accurate from a geopolitical and macro economic standpoint, but what about the peoples of the East? It’s interesting you mention the horrors of Nazism and the lessons from WW2. What about the lessons from Nuremberg - which all sides would do well to never forget? It seems to me that the majority of the developed countries of the UN have indiscriminately conducted population-scale mass medical experiments on the citizenry (with the toxic Covid injections). These crimes against humanity and the seemingly inexorable roll-out of the Great Reset do nothing to reassure me that either East or West cares much about the survival of civilisation.

You understand its written by Bouthaina Shaaban? A Syrian. Someone who has lived through both Assad presidencies and been a prominent politician, intellectual and analyst in Syria working with the Presidency. I think Dr Shaaban is in a better position to judge than most Westerners.

Yes, I do. I respect Professor Shaaban’s work and from a Syrian perspective can understand her position (as much as a ‘Westerner’ is able to). I do see the East working towards a much needed multipolar world, and I agree that the West is in a state of decay - morally, economically, and intellectually. However, I can’t yet subscribe to a black and white view of East is good, West is bad.

Also, since the essay refers to the horrors of Nazism, it naturally made me think of the crimes that were prosecuted at Nuremberg. I’m pretty sure our Eastern neighbours aren’t, and won’t, all be living happy ever after following the Covid tyranny imposed by governments East and West - from which we all suffer and are free to judge.

It’s nothing to do with brainwashing or Western bias, but more to do with perspective. As I said in my reply to Vanessa, I totally get that the East, led by Russia and China, are working towards a desperately needed multipolar world. However, I can’t subscribe to a black and white, East is good, West is bad philosophy, especially after the last 3 years which has seen pretty much all world governments abandon their duties to protect their citizens.

If you think anybody haa a "black and white" view you are very mistaken. However, for people in countries ravaged by decades, centuries of Western Imperialist agendas there is a much greater need for a pivot East. However informed Westerners are, unless you have lived through or experienced these crushing hybrid wars, you cannot fully empathise with the relationships building with Russia and China that are an antidote to the oppression imposed by the West. I have lived in Syria for 3 years, working here for 7 years. Russia is nothing like the West.

The only ones we can trust in this are ourselves and our physiological and psychological reactions. If we have a strong “gut” reaction it is very likely to be correct. There are many interconnections coming together which allow us to benefit from this phenomenon.

Absolutely. It’s proving to be reliable in cutting through the endless propaganda.

Good post. Clearly we cannot help but be aware of the differences in philosophy, diplomacy and communication skills between “East” and “West”.

But putting these differences into a larger framework of how China and Russia fit into geopolitics is critical.

Forces like the World Economic Forum and the “globalists” have vast agendas. Certainly these forces have favored nation status for those nations which best serve their ends.

Within this context trust is not something we can take for granted from any of these.

Motivations for the actions of nation states rather than the specific tactics are more interesting.

Anew world order? I think Putin and Xi Jiping have a better idea of how to create it than President George H.W. Bush. And I appreciate Bothania Shabaan's careful anaysis. Yes, we are moving to something different and the West is panicking. They won't be king of the hill anymore. Russia and China are the allies we need if we in the west could get the garbage out of our heads. I also appreciate your making Bothania's work available to us. You are the life boat we need as the West goes down like the Titanic.

Yes, where could we be, if we weren’t biological beings…..

Yes, a nice thought but wouldn’t that contradict evolution?

How do we learn as society as well as human beings? Isn’t it by learning out of failure? Add to it the saying, „the path to hell is paved by good intentions“?

Anyhow, we do have to find new, better ways to hand over experience to the next Generation as well as finding new ways how too „school“ children, young adults.

School is a terrible mess!

Nice reply to an intellectual and historian in Syria who has operated on the international stage since before you were born judging by the level of your response. Or perhaps you didn't realise who wrote the article? I take her insights over yours any day.

If you are going to be rude Frances, I will block you. It is not realistic, it is nihilistic and often lacking in depth or understanding of the cultures involved, in my opinion. Unless you want to be an anarchist you are doomed apparently. I work with Iain at UK Column and I deeply disagree with his conclusions as I have been trying to show through my work, interviews and experience living in the Middle East and working with Russia on many issues. You might disagree which is fine but this response is out of order.

According to you. I respect your views but I don't hold them. We agree to disagree. My comment was neither personal or rude, it is my opinion. Your comment to Teresa was offensive.
