Malaysia has decided to join the BRICS.

It is big news since it controls, with Indonesia, one of the top five shipping channels, the Strait of Malacca.

Subjectively it is one of the countries that nomads often mention when seeking a region that is likely to remain sane, while the Western world goes mad.

The days of sail and tea clippers may be long past, but control of the sea lanes is closely tied to which countries control the dominant currency, and thus get to live better than the rest.

The ability of Yemen’s Ansar Allah to constrict shipping in the Red Sea is a present example.

The days of gunboat diplomacy, when the Royal Navy would bombard foreign ports to enforce compliance, are history. But we still wage war to control land and sea routes, resources and access to them.

These wars, up to the present day, are always blamed on Hitler: the figure with whom every adversary is compared — Milosevic, Bin Laden, Saddam, Assad, Putin — in order to short-circuit our thought process.

“There’s another Hitler. Get yer boots on!”

No joke

Ukrainian men who leave home to buy bread find themselves days later in a trench, fighting for Blackrock and Monsanto — just as sailors were seized on the street and press-ganged into the navy to defend the commercial interests of the East India Company.

The biggest deception played on the people is that we should risk our lives to protect this system of monetary dominance.

Psychological play

No politician asks nor tries to persuade us. The deceit relies on manipulation. The liar coaches his victim.

The term gaslighting comes from a 1938 play and 1944 film, Gaslight, in which a husband manipulates his wife into thinking she is mentally ill.

At last weekend’s summit on Ukraine, the West rejected peace. Why? Because peace requires both sides talk and Russia was not invited. When it outlined its terms regardless, the West ignored the offer as not serious.

Behind the bluster, what are the two sides trying to achieve? Is the U.S. simply trying to protect the mighty dollar? Does Russia simply want a buffer zone against NATO?

No. There is much more at stake. After the end of communism, Russia thought it would be welcomed into the Western system. Putin had become president at the turn of the millennium. In the early 2000s president George W Bush said he could see Putin’s soul. Whatever Dubya meant, Russia was still trying to join the West.

Today the Polish president Andrzej Duda has called for a “process of decolonization” of Russia, splitting it into about 20 states, saying ethnic minorities should break away from Moscow’s rule and form their own statelets.

This is nothing but a continuation of 19^th century British policy, of creating client states as they did across Arabia, known as Sykes-Picot. It continues today through the U.S, Congress which has voted to break up Iraq, creating oil-rich Kurdistan, which it would control.

Armenia has just been "decolonised” giving up 3,000 year-old territories to Azerbaijan, which is close to both Turkey and Israel.

Georgia in the south Caucasus is in the middle of a Color Revolution ™ with NATO-backed protestors saying it should be “decentralised” so that it can never ally with Russia.

On one hand this is about control of resources, and thus dollars and cents. On the other, it is ideological.

The globalists and neocons break up successful secular multi-ethnic states like Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya and (attempted) with Syria. On the other, they flood former homogeneous nations with unsustainable migration — such as the “UK” which is being devolved into constituent states.

Don’t ask me why. Ask them.

Recent history, past

Before the mass media had heard of the BRICS, Russia was creating an alternative trade forum. It was mostly mimicking a Eurasian version of the European Economic Community.

It also has a long history of trade with India dating from the Soviet Union. The industrial behemoth of China sought ever more oil and gas from its Russian neighbour.

War accelerated and changed the trajectory.

The West tightened sanctions, now in the 11th round, forcing Russia to find an alternative to its biggest trading partner, the European Union.

Russia never did much trade with the United States, which is why the U.S. doesn't care how much the sanctions hurt Europe.

Next, the U.S. orchestrated Russia's expulsion from the bank transaction system SWIFT and seized Russia's foreign reserves.

These acts, combined, were the trigger for BRICS to move from a nascent customs union into a parallel system of trade.

Note that we are not talking about a BRICS currency — it is neither a match for the dollar nor Bitcoin.

The BRICS is proposing a global trade settlement system. This would allow many currencies to be used for trade: yuan, rupee, reais or rand. The aim is to clear bank transactions in multiple currencies outside the SWIFT or Western dominated banking system.

Russia aims to have such a system ready for the BRICS summit in October.

Commodity revolution

That is why Saudi Arabia's decision to drop the petrodollar agreement is so timely. For 50 years it had sold oil only in dollars, investing Saudi profits in U.S. Treasuries, ensuring that USD remained the reserve currency of the world.

The BRICS will not replace the petrodollar. The Saudis will still accept dollars, but they are also looking at selling oil using digital currencies to settle the difference in exports and imports with, say, China.

This is not barter but it does mean that the trade in commodities runs in parallel with a digital ledger, which is another way of saying that currencies are backed by commodities.

This is a revolution because, if it succeeds, it not only topples the dollar but changes the unfair trading relationship which allowed Western countries to live beyond their means, while keeping developing nations... forever developing.

The system is ending by which the West prints money, uses it to buy commodities, the vendors hold their reserves in Western currency, allowing the West to print more.

Actually, they do the same thing to the Western borrower. Central banks print money out of thin air, you work your butt off to turn it into physical assets, like a house. The banks periodically crash the market, and foreclose on real assets — turning air into physical matter.

African experience

BRICS would be a big change for Africa, for example, which traditionally had to sell its resources of energy, minerals and food in U.S. dollars or the French colonial franc, and then use dollars or francs to import finished goods.

Letting countries trade in own currencies would break banker control of resources. That is why the powers that be will are proposing a centralised digital ledger, of which Central Bank Digital Currency is just a part.

If they fail to get their universal ledger, they may restore control through direct military force on the nineteenth century imperial model.

That’s why the BRICS must succeed. The Western media tells you the BRICS is a negative. The Western media is owned by the same banker syndicate. Half the faux alt media chants in unison.

Nobody knows, nobody cares about the real reason why war is being fought in Ukraine and Israel. Unless you read Moneycircus. Please subscribe.
