The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation is a new one on me. I was interested in its joint declaration which states that: “The Member States advocate respect for the right of peoples to an independent and democratic choice of the paths of their political and socio-economic development, ... " and talks about equal rights. All this from an Organisation that contains some of the most repressive regimes on the planet.

However, the rise of the SCO and BRICS(A) is just another demonstration of the rise of organisations that will, IMO, bring about the collapse in the dominance of the US Dollar and the world dominance of the USA. The action against rare earths, it seems to me, is just the beginning.

The western propaganda claim that these regimes are 'repressive' Greg. The truth is that they are 'collectives' as opposed to the western concept of individualism. This comes from our differing agricultural heritage.

The eastern societies are based on rice farming which must be a collective enterprise because one man alone can't do it. The west is based on wheat, which is an individual enterprise, where one man can plough a field alone with a horse in one day (that is, an acre measure).

The east have a concept of 'cooperation' whereas the west have a concept of 'competition'. The both have valid attributes IMHO, but the future in my view has to be cooperative due to resource scarcity. The New Emergent Economy which I describe at Chapter 13 in my book reflects the need for cooperation:

Scroll to Chapter 13 or download the PDF for easier access. And I expand on this at Part 2: Introduction: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/358116877_THE_FINANCIAL_JIGSAW_-_PART_2_A5_Update_V1_-_2020

I am writing Part 2 now and will be posting a Notification later this month.

I suppose I was basing my comment on the treatment of the Uyghurs and, having met Brother Yun, listened to him about his incarceration and about the number of his friends who have just 'disappeared'. Also talking to Iranians about their incarcerations and torture plus their relatives who have been killed by the regime. I feel my comment is justified, even though our cultures are different.

Chapt 13 to come.

Your comment is totally justified Greg - and I share your distress about your family's experiences. Regrettably the Asian zeitgeist requires compliance to the community, something we lack in the West. Of course there are pluses and minuses and we all have to adapt to the greater good in the end.

Whilst I do not condone the methods employed by these totalitarian states I do understand the need for compliance within a healthy economy. I am hopeful that South Africa will follow this trend with our concept of UBUNTU but time will tell.

Just to clarify, he is known as Brother Yun, in China. He isn't a relative just a very brave Christian preacher and house church builder.

Sounds just the sort of preacher I would enjoy Greg. I have spent time on retreat at Hilfield Priory near Cerne Abbas https://www.hilfieldfriary.org.uk/ with the friars but they are all ageing now My good mentor Brother Samuel has passed on sadly. I will visit there again before I leave for SA in November.

Yes, good point I have lived on 'rice farms' for years, and its always collective; But if you don't work you don't eat;

Also asia doesn't have a knee-grow problem, or any kind of parasite problem; They also don't bring in wetbacks to do their shit-work.

...

Also most of the ASIAN rice lands had been used such for 1,000's of years, they were already rice paddy land with lots of standing water

Wheat fields of USA didn't really rocket until oil-based nitro fertilizer aka faber-process (1890) Ammonium-Nitrate could be dumped on dirt and it took big CATS (1910's) like D7 or bigger to rip the earth and turn the soil so that man in USA could plant peanuts, corn, and wheat/barley for beer;

In Asia men used water-buffalo to till, but it takes 100's of women to plant the baby rice seedlings, and harvest the rice and cut the dried rice, and beat the rice kernels off; So everybody in the village helps on each others farms to plant, cultivate, and collect the rice, and each gets a cut of every harvest dependent upon their input; When you go to a wedding or funeral you bring a bag of rice, that is the only real currency in ASIA;

...

My point is in ASIA its a way that has always been, in USA most of the land was un-suitable for farming before modern oil-based fertilizer and big heavy diesel farming machines;

Say when US gov authorized westward migration, it took large family to remove rocks from soil, or to cut trees and scrubs for farmland, even today in Brazil clearing the forests is done by big machines, virtually impossible to be done by the hand of man;

...

I do have one good story however, back in the early colonization of Penang (malaysia) a UK captain of a large ship wanted the land clear near the beach to build a 'fort', so he loaded his cannon with silver coin and shot it towards the jungle, then notified the natives that if they cut down the entire jungle forest and cleared it they could get all the silver, hey it worked, but it took 1,000's of natives, but they were motivated.

...

Lastly its impossible to compare the USA on say a 35N deg average lat, to say 10N -+ equatorial, where you get rains, most of the USA is arid desert, most of the mid-west water table is dropped to critical levels, cheap energy made the USA into farmland, and once cheap energy is GONE, then its all gone; Same now with Russia cutting off the ammonium-nitrate to USA, they USA doesn't even have factorys anymore its all been destroyed, or not maintained

Which is why deagel report predicts a 90-70% reduction in human population in USA by 2025, nothing to eat, no jobs, and no future for kids, and old die for lack of affordable healthcare

Excellent - you experience is priceless 'BB' - I have spent time in Hong Kong but that's not Asia. I too have a story which I wrote at Chapter 7 in my book in 2013:

The point of this short story is that, just as the markets for these various games fade, in the real world the currency of the day, dollars, euro, Yen or whatever will also fade into oblivion as more and more flood the market. In the same way that nobody can foretell the next coming ‘fad’ so too are we unable to predict the coming replacement currency; nevertheless it will come all too soon and thus we should all be prepared for a wave of change by investing in the one ‘currency’ that never fails, gold, which we covered earlier. More will be discussed about winning investment strategies in Part 2 in a separate book. Markets are not only ‘discovered’ by entrepreneurs and traders but can be ‘made’ artificially by unscrupulous opportunists as this sorry tale of exploitation illustrates:

Two prospectors were searching a jungle for rare-earth metals when they came upon a tribe of hunter-gathers far from civilisation. They observed that these hunters were catching monkeys and using them as currency to trade for other products between themselves and other local tribes as well as for consumption.

One prospector offered to buy monkeys for $1 each, a good price for any tribesman. The jungle was full of monkeys and the hunters had no trouble providing a good supply which the prospectors placed in cages ready for export. Soon enough the monkey population began to fall and the hunters were finding it more difficult to meet demand, and so with a limited supply, negotiated for more money. The prospectors offered $5 per monkey and the hunters went off again with increased enthusiasm.

After a while, again the hunters were finding fewer monkeys and asked for yet more money to which, in response, the offer was increased to $10 each. When all the cages were full to overflowing one prospector announced that his colleague would be taking a trip up river to the nearest market where he had a buyer for the monkeys at $25 each and would return to split the profits amongst the tribe.

A while later the remaining prospector told the tribe that he had heard from his friend that he had sold the monkeys for $50 each but there would be a delay before he returned with the money. In the meantime he had to go to an important meeting with a business colleague and didn’t want the tribe to miss out on all the extra profits to be made.

So he was willing to sell all the monkeys to the tribe for £25 each and they would make great profits when his friend returned. The tribe were overjoyed at this man’s generosity and quickly closed the deal, allowing the prospector to leave for his meeting.

The tribe waited and waited but the two men were never seen again! Yes, the world is full of trickery and made possible, generally, through greed or fear which drives all markets up and down according to the prevailing atmosphere and a herd instinct which it follows as trust fails and disappointment, even rage, remains.

Having lived +50% of my life in most of ASIA, and lots of CHINA, I'm talking deep mountains and jungles of China;

That the USA is far more totalitarian; You go off grid in China, you may not see a PIG or MIL for years;

In the USA you can't take a shit without a PIG or MIL eyeing you, the USA and all western ZOG colonys are police states, and the reason fuck heads talk about repression is that they don't travel, or speak foreign languages;

ZOG UK monarchy commonwealth country's including the USA penal colony are the most repressive shit-holes on earth;

Bravo and well said 'BB'. The elites have captured the plebs and fooled them into believing they live in a 'democracy'. What a joke - but a few are awakening these days - give it time.

You would think that with the trade surpluses we run in favor of China that they would give us some special consideration. Not with Biden, he would never pressure them to trade fairly, for obvious reasons.

Got the app and moved over to the IPad, no problems now, so far. The PC is more buggy operationally.

Did you know that most rare-earth are in ASIA

That the largest reserves on earth of Rare-Earth elements for making chips are in North Korea

That North Korea has more under-sea oil deposit reserves than Saudi

...

There is a reason that USA/UK ZOG is always got their eye-of-sauron on North-Korea;

USA has a one year pipeline of gallium, to make gallium-arsenide used in all RF electronic chips, this means now that China has cut-off Gallium to USA all the communications on all the ships&planes is kaput;

Just a demolition of USA as scheduled long ago by ZOG, pivot to ASIA was approved back in 1990's, CIA switch to CHINA +25 years ago, inQtel CIA 'grooming' of homo-entrepreneurs is/was CIA, but now all Chinese controlled; Why pray tell? Because CIA is a 'pinkerton' for UK london banks, and they know that the USD collapse, they need to attach themselves to a new bitch that prints money with value;

Actually I wrote a full report on this last March,
