– Germany looking to join the BRICS (Hang The Bankers, July 24, 2014):
Financial analyst Jim Willie sensationally claims that Germany is preparing to ditch the unipolar system backed by NATO and the U.S. in favour of joining the BRICS nations, and that this is why the NSA was caught spying on Angela Merkel and other German leaders.
In an interview with USA Watchdog’s Greg Hunter, Willie, a statistical analyst who holds a PhD in statistics, asserted that the real reason behind the recent NSA surveillance scandal targeting Germany was centered around the United States’ fear that Europe’s financial powerhouse is looking to escape from an inevitable dollar collapse.
“I think they are looking for details on assisting Russia on dumping the dollar. I think they are looking for details for a secret movement for Germany to get away from the dollar and join the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.) This is exactly what I think they are going to do,” said Willie.
Earlier this month, the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa), announced the creation of a new $100 billion dollar anti-dollar alternative IMF bank to be based in Shanghai and chaired by Moscow.
Putin launched the new system by saying it was designed to, “help prevent the harassment of countries that do not agree with some foreign policy decisions made by the United States and their allies,” a clear signal that Russia and other BRICS countries are moving to create a new economic system which is adversarial to the IMF and the World Bank.
Offering an insight into the attitude of the western elite towards Russia, comments made by the likes of former US ambassador to Iraq Christopher R. Hill suggest that Moscow is increasingly being viewed as a rogue state. Back in April, Hill said that Russia’s response to the Ukraine crisis meant that Moscow had betrayed the “new world order” it has been a part of for the last 25 years.
In another sign that BRICS nations are moving to create an entirely new multi-polar model adversarial to the west, the five countries are also constructing an alternative Internet backbone which will circumvent the United States in order to avoid NSA spying.
Willie also ties the Germany’s move into last week’s shoot down of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, which has been exploited by the U.S. and Britain to push for more stringent sanctions on Russia despite the fact that they have had little effect so far and only appear to be harming the trade interests of countries in mainland Europe.
“Here’s the big, big consequence. The U.S. is basically telling Europe you have two choices here. Join us with the war against Russia. Join us with the sanctions against Russia. Join us in constant war and conflicts, isolation and destruction to your economy and denial of your energy supply and removal of contracts. Join us with this war and sanctions because we’d really like you to keep the dollar regime going. They are going to say were tired of the dollar. . . . We are pushing Germany. Don’t worry about France, don’t worry about England, worry about Germany. Germany has 3,000 companies doing active business right now. They are not going to join the sanctions—period.”

OMG! I thought the EU was at least a year out from this decision. If the EU follows Germany’s lead (and many of the nations of the EU owe Germany money) and join the multi basket of currencies that much of the world has joined……..the dollar will collapse.
This is really serious, folks. Germany and France are the leading nations of the EU, and of the two, Germany is the strongest.
I don’t know how the EU is set up. I don’t know if one member can dump the dollar without the agreement of the other 27 members (many are weak, and in debt to Germany). If Germany can move on their own, the rest will follow, because they will have to in order to operate.
The US is run by fools. They have done everything wrong. I have been disgusted and horrified by the behavior of the leaders, they do NOT represent the will of the people, they don’t care what we think.
Bullying, spying, sanctions on nations that don’t use the dollar…….all these acts have made the US look aggressive, and foolish in turn. All they can do is offer threats and sanctions…….they have NOTHING left. Oscar Wilde once said “we have nothing left to offer but compliments, they are the only things that don’t cost money.” Pity, the US didn’t learn from him…….compliments win a lot more friends and support than threats.
This is an unmitigated disaster. If this happens on Obama’s watch, he will replace Clinton as the worst president we ever had.
Calling the Russians a rogue nation makes true what many psychologists say: “Ask a man about another, and he will tell you all about himself.”
For God sakes, the US is the rogue nation. Russia now has an alliance of over half the world…….the US is relying on the EU to avoid collapse of the US dollar. If the US loses the EU, the game is over for the US, and millions of fools who right now think they are doing just fine will be screwed. I have no sympathy for them, greedy people deserve the worst life can bring them.
But, millions of people struggling with skyrocketing prices now, living on a fixed income will really be hurt. Suicides will skyrocket as well because they will not be able to survive, and most people will not accept the prospect of homelessness.
This is happening so much faster than I foresaw. I saw this coming, but now it is upon us.
Russia has China, India, Brazil, Turkey, Iran, South Africa and many emerging African nations, much of South and Central America, Argentina……much of the world economy using their system. New Zealand and Australia dumped the dollar, also India and Japan. Obama gave Japan a pass, whatever that means.
For those who need a quick review, it started in 2010 with Hugo Chavez and his tiny organization, the South American Trade Association. He introduced the first electronic currency, the Sucre, so that member nations could trade with each other using their own currencies, leaving the dollar out. The Sucre translated the value of each currency at the time of transaction, making the need for any world reserve currency obsolete. It was a tiny organization, and it flew under US radar.
Russia and China watched it closely. In November, 2010, they adopted a similar model between each other, trading with each other, leaving the dollar out. They went on to recruit much of the world, and finally went public only a month ago. I was surprised, because I had been watching it since 2010. As it stands, they hold the majority of the world market.
There are many more aspects to this, but this is enough for now. The US is in deep trouble, and the leaders are too damn stupid to know it. Fools and their money are soon parted.
Special friend of Infinite Unknown,
This is a profound thanks for publishing stories I chase all over the place and find more and more difficult to find.
One of the most hopeful things I read here was that they are developing an alternative to the Internet, so that people can communicate with each other regardless of fool US policies. I have lived all my life with engineers, and trust their abilities more than any other……ingenious is the root of the word. I love them dearly, and they always find another way.
Thank you so much for all you do. This story is the most important in the world……..and the fools in the pay of the US dare not publish a word of it. Instead they put out the most discredited man in the world to use fake drawing to blame Putin for the latest outrage they have created………not quite as smooth as his rotten drawings of fake yellow cake in aluminum tubes that cost the lives and homes of over 4 million Iraq people, and destroyed the US treasury and credibility for all time. I despise him more than I do bush, or any other rotten player on the political scene………even more than the Clintons who destroyed our financial system for all time.
They won’t touch the truth. Putin has freed the world from US financial domination, every nation can use their own currency when trading with another country….a freedom not known since gold and silver was the world currency for all countries…….centuries ago.
If the US does not back off, and shut up now, the rest of the world, including the EU will join Putin and his very logical basket of currencies, leaving the dollar out. If the EU dumps the dollar, it will collapse, and it could happen within weeks. We have idiots in power. Why are they going after the most popular man on the globe?
The US made many mistakes with Germany and the entire world. But, spying on them without apology or promise to stop was one. Next, not repaying their gold was the worst folly……it showed the entire world the US is broke, and they cannot pay their bills, except with their worthless paper they print nonstop. Now, they are sitting on pile of it nobody will accept as over half the world won’t accept the dollar as a medium of exchange. I have been in countries where they would not accept the dollar, it is very unpleasant………The US could not repay any of the German gold…….that did terrible damage to what was left of the US world image.
I saw this coming of course, as you did. You know I have followed this story since Hugo Chavez started the ball rolling in Spring, 2010. When Russia and China adopted it in November, 2010, I knew it was only a matter of time. I didn’t realize it would happen this quickly……especially the threat of losing the EU. Without the EU, the dollar will collapse overnight.
Thanks to US bullying, threats and endless sanctions (not to mention military attacks on nations that have done nothing to deserve it), it has won the derision and hatred of the entire world. Nobody will support the US, they have bitten the hand of every nation that ever fed them.
When Obama went war mad against Syria for no discernible reason, Putin told him if he hit Syria, Putin would hit the US back. He sent in an aircraft carrier and ten warships to back up his promise. Obama, not used to anyone strong enough to fight back, ran like a rabbit. 99% of Americans were thankful, we are exhausted with the endless, impoverishing wars……..and our leaders don’t care what we want or think.
Freeing the world from US financial domination has won Putin love and admiration around the world. Going after him is the most foolish thing they can do. Using that discredited creep to make the false charges against Putin makes a total idiot of the American leadership.
If the dollar collapses under Obama (and I see little chance of that NOT happening), he will replace Clinton as the worst president in our history.
Thank you so much for following this most important story, this is going to burn a lot of the wannabe greedy guts I have occasionally mentioned. Right now, they are sitting complacently on their widening backsides, sure they have it made. They mostly have a lot of real estate debt, most are underwater, but, that will all turn around come next Spring……just check US media. I have no sympathy for them, greed is one of the worst diseases that has destroyed this country for all time.
Forget the fact interest rates have doubled since Jan. Most of the existing real estate debt are ARMS, and the jumbos have gone over 6%. Most of the wannabe greedy guts have at least one or two properties with such loans……but high priced real estate is doing great…..just ask US media, and ignore the statistics.
As the dollar continues to lose value as the rest of the world won’t accept it, financial channels are now hawking that higher interest rates are GOOD. And, the fools sit there and listen, because it is what they want to hear. Never mind, it is turning their brains to mush, what little they had, and they certainly don’t read RT, IU, Truthdig, or any other site that actually publishes articles that address the truth.
Thank you so much. I cannot say more.
Sincerely,
Marilyn Gjerdrum
