The Empire <em>will <\/em>(italics mine) strike back in full force; in fact its multi-hydra Hybrid War tentacles are already on display.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/strategic-culture.su\/news\/2023\/08\/29\/natostan-robots-versus-the-heavenly-horses-of-multipolarity\/Here%20\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/sputnikglobe.com\/20230825\/pepe-escobar-brics-11---strategic-tour-de-force-1112882830.html\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> I have attempted two rough drafts of History on the birth of BRICS 11. Essentially, what the Russia-China strategic partnership is accomplishing, one (giant) step at a time, is also multi-vectorial:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>expanding BRICS into an alliance to fight against U.S. non-diplomacy.<\/li>\n<li>counter-acting the sanctions dementia.<\/li>\n<li>promoting alternatives to SWIFT.<\/li>\n<li>promoting autonomy, self-reliance and instances of sovereignty.<\/li>\n<li>and in the near future, integrating BRICS 11 (and counting) with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) to counter imperial military threats, something already alluded to by President Lukashenko, the inventor of the precious neologism \u201cGlobal Globe\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In contrast, the indispensable Michael Hudson has constantly shown how the U.S. and EU\u2019s \u201cstrategic error of self-isolation from the rest of the world is so massive, so total, that its effects are the equivalent of a world war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thus Prof. Hudson\u2019s contention that the proxy war in Ukraine \u2013 not only against Russia but also against Europe \u2013 \u201cmay be thought of as World War III.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In several ways, Prof. Hudson details, we are living \u201can outgrowth of World War II, whose aftermath saw the United States establish international economic and political organization under its own control to operate in its own national self-interest: the International Monetary Fund to impose U.S. financial control and dollarize the world economy; the World Bank to lend governments money to bear the infrastructure costs of creating trade dependency on U.S. food and manufactures; promoting plantation agriculture, U.S.\/NATO control of oil, mining and natural resources; and United Nations agencies under U.S. control, with veto power in all international organizations that it created or joined.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Now it\u2019s another ball game entirely when it comes to Global South, or Global Majority, of \u201cGlobal Globe\u201d real emancipation. Just take Moscow hosting the Russia-Africa summit in late July, then Beijing, with Xi in person, spending a day last week in Johannesburg with dozens of African leaders, all of them part of the new Non-Aligned Movement (NAM): the G77 (actually 134 nations), presided by a Cuban, President Diaz-Canel.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s the Russia-China Double Helix in effect \u2013 offering large swathes of the \u201cGlobal Globe\u201d security and high-tech infrastructure (Russia) and finance, manufactured exports and road and rail infrastructure (China).<\/p>\n<p>In this context, a BRICS currency is not necessary. Prof. Hudson <a href=\"https:\/\/globalsouth.co\/2023\/08\/25\/pepe-escobar-and-michael-hudson-brics-plus-six-ukraine-multipolar-world-economy\/\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">crucially quotes<\/a> President Putin: what\u2019s needed is a \u201cmeans of settlement\u201d for Central Banks for their balance of payments, to keep in check imbalances in trade and investment. That has nothing to do with a BRICS gold-backed supra-national currency.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, there will be no need for a new reserve currency as increasingly more nations will be ditching the U.S. dollar in their settlements.<\/p>\n<p>Putin has referred to a \u201ctemporary\u201d accounting unit \u2013 as intra-BRICS 11 trade will be inevitably expanding in their national currencies. All that will develop in the context of an increasingly overwhelming alliance of major oil, gas, minerals, agriculture and commodities producers: a <em>real <\/em>(italics mine) economy capable of supporting a new global order progressively pushing Western dominance into oblivion.<\/p>\n<p>Call it the soft way to euthanize Hegemony.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All aboard the \u201cmalign China\u201d narrative<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Now compare all of the above with that piece of Norwegian wood posing as NATO secretary-general telling the CIA mouthpiece paper in Washington, in a unique moment of frankness, that the Ukraine War \u201cdidn\u2019t start in 2022. The war started in 2014\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>So here we have a designated imperial vassal plainly admitting that the whole thing started with Maidan, the U.S.-engineered coup supervised by cookie distributor Vicky \u201cF**k the E\u201d Nuland. This means that NATO\u2019s claim of a Russia \u201cinvasion\u201d, referring to the Special Military Operation (SMO) is absolutely bogus from a legal standpoint.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s firmly established that the spin doctors\/ paid propagandist \u201cexperts\u201d of Atlanticist idiocracy, practicing an unrivalled mix of arrogance\/ignorance, believe they can get away with anything when it comes to demonizing Russia. The same applies to their new narrative on \u201cmalign China\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese scholars which I have the honor to interact with are always delighted to point out that imperial pop narratives and predictive programming are absolutely useless when it comes to confronting <em>Zhong Hua<\/em> (\u201cThe Splendid Central Civilization\u201d).<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s because China, as one of them describes it, is endowed with a \u201cclear-minded, purposeful and relentless aristocratic oligarchy at the helm of the Chinese State\u201d, using tools of power that guarantee, among other issues, public safety and hygiene for all; education focused on learning useful information and skills, not indoctrination; a monetary system under control; physical assets and the industrial capacity to make real stuff; first-class diplomatic, supply chain, techno-scientific, economic, cultural, commercial, geostrategic and financial networks; and first-class physical infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>And yet, since at least 1990, Western mainstream media is obsessed to dictate that China\u2019s economic collapse, or \u201chard landing\u201d, is imminent.<\/p>\n<p>Nonsense. As another Chinese scholar frames it, \u201cChina\u2019s strategy has been to let sleeping dogs lie and let lying machines lie. Meanwhile, let China surpass them in their sleep and cause the Empire\u2019s demise.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Poisons, viruses, microchips <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>And that bring us full circle back to the New Great Game: NATOstan versus the Multipolar World. No matter the evidence provided by graphic reality, NATOstan in advanced seppuku mode \u2013 especially the European sector \u2013 actually believes it will win the war against Russia-China.<\/p>\n<p>As for the Global South\/Global Majority\/\u201dGlobal Globe\u201d, they are regarded as enemies. So their mostly poor populations should be poisoned with famine, experimental injections, new modified viruses, implanted microchips as in BCI (Brain Computer Interface) and soon NATO As Global Robocop \u201csecurity\u201d outfits.<\/p>\n<p>The coming of BRICS 11 is already unleashing a new imperial wave of deadly poisoning, brand new viruses and cyborgs.<\/p>\n<p>The imperial master issued the order to \u201csave\u201d the Japanese seafood industry \u2013 a few scraps as quid pro quod for Tokyo acting as a rabid dog in the imperial Chip War against China, and dutifully pledging alliance at the recent Camp David summit side by side with the South Korean vassals.<\/p>\n<p>The EU vassals, in synch, lifted Japan food import rules just as Fukushima nuclear wastewater was to be pumped into the ocean. That\u2019s yet another instance of the EU continuing to dig its own grave \u2013 as Japan is set to suffer a Typhoon Number Ten type of blowback.<\/p>\n<p>Radiation spread across the world through the Pacific will breed endless cancer patients around the world and simultaneously destroy the economy of several small island nations relying heavily on tourism.<\/p>\n<p>In parallel, Sergey Glazyev, Minister of Macroeconomics at the Eurasian Economic Commission, part of the EAEU, has been among the very few warning about the new trans-humanist frontier: the Nanotechnology Injection craze ahead \u2013 something quite well documented in scientific journals.<\/p>\n<p>Quoting Dr. Steve Hotze, Glazyev in one of his Telegram posts explained what DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) has been doing, \u201cinjecting nanobots in the form of graphene oxide and hydrogel\u201d into the human body, thus creating an interface between nanobots and brain cells. We become \u201ca receptor, receiver and transmitter of signals. The brain will receive signals from the outside, and you can be manipulated remotely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Glazyev also refers to the by now frantic promotion of \u201cEris\u201d, a new Covid variety, named by the WHO after the Greek goddess of discord and enmity, daughter of the goddess of night, Nykta.<\/p>\n<p>Those familiar with Greek mythology will know that Eris was quite angry because she was not invited to the wedding of Peleus and Thetis. Her vengeance was to plant at the feast a golden apple from the gardens of Hesperides with the inscription \u201cMost Beautiful\u201d: that was the legendary \u201capple of discord\u201d, which generated the Mother of All Catfights between Hera, Athena and Aphrodite. And that eventually led to no less than the Trojan War.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the White Room, with black curtains <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s oh so predictable, coming from those \u201celites\u201d running the show, to name a new virus as a harbinger of war. After all, The Next War is badly needed because Project Ukraine turned out to be a massive strategic failure, with the cosmic humiliation of NATO just around the corner.<\/p>\n<p>During the Vietnam War \u2013 which the empire lost to a peasant guerrilla army \u2013 the daily briefing at the command HQ in Saigon was derided by every journalist with an IQ above room temperature as the \u201cSaigon follies\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Saigon would never compare with the tsunami of daily follies offered on the proxy war in Ukraine by a tawdry moveable feast at the White House, State Dept., Pentagon, NATO HQ, the Brussels Kafkaesque machine and other Western environs. The difference is that those posing as \u201cjournalists\u201d today are cognitively incapable of understanding these are \u201cfollies\u201d \u2013 and even if they did, they would be prevented from reporting them.<\/p>\n<p>So that\u2019s where the collective West is at the moment: in a White Room, a simulacrum of Plato\u2019s cave depicted in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VR90gQ-SIaY\"  target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cream\u2019s 1968 masterpiece<\/a>, partly inspired by William Blake, invoking pale \u201csilver horses\u201d and exhausted \u201cyellow tigers\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The entire West is waiting at the room at the station with black curtains \u2013 and no trains. They will \u201csleep in this place with the lonely crowd\u201d and \u201clie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Outside in the cold, long distance, under the sunlight, away from the moving shadows, across roads made of silk and iron, the Heavenly Horses (<em>Tianma<\/em>) of the multipolar world gallop gallantly from network to network, from Belt and Road to Eurasia and Afro-Eurasia Bridge, from intuition to integration, from emancipation to sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p><em>_______________________________________________<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pepe-escobar.jpeg\" ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-193880\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pepe-escobar-150x150.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pepe-escobar-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pepe-escobar-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pepe-escobar.jpeg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>Pepe Escobar, born in Brazil, is a correspondent and editor-at-large at <\/em>Asia Times <em>and<\/em> <em>columnist for<\/em> Consortium News <em>and<\/em> Strategic Culture<em> in Moscow.
