BRICS Announces Plan To Dump US Dollar And Replace Western SWIFT Payment System

Finance Ministers of the BRICS nations, Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, met along with the Finance Ministers of other new BRICS member nations, in Sao Paulo, Brazil today.

Russia’s Finance Ministry along with the Central Bank of Russia will propose several new financial initiatives to BRICS. The proposal aims to improvise and change the international monetary and global financial system as we know it.

Russia will particularly focus on creating a new digital BRICS Bridge payment platform which will be a multisided option to the US dollar. The development is currently in draft and could be proposed at the next summit in October 2024.

This new digital BRICS Bridge payment platform would replace the SWIFT system, used by the US and most other developed nations.

Once this new system is in place, the US will no longer be able to us the Dollar as a weapon for economic sanctions. Countries will be able to ignore US sanctions, ignore the US congress, and the US will see all the world's Central Banks, start sending US cash back to the USA because they won't need it anymore. When those dollars start flooding back to the US, the value of OUR currency will drop compared to foreign currencies.

All this because the people elected to go to Washington DC refuse to mind their own business. They have interfered with so many countries, on so many issues, for so long, the rest of the world is telling us to go away - and to take our Dollars with us. When you can't afford to feed yourself, or your family, remember: It was the United States House of Representatives, and the United States Senate that caused this. Be sure to thank your Congressman and Senators for destroying our nation and its currency because they couldn't mind their own business.

Your Replacements Are Here: NYC Housing Rents Spike As Democrats Welcome Endless Line Of Illegals

New Yorkers are grappling with skyrocketing housing rents despite rents across the nation slowing, if not reversing, in some cases. A lack of affordable housing is driving shelter costs higher in the progressive metro area plagued with elevated living costs, a migrant crisis, and a worsening violent crime wave.

With new data from the rental site Zudmper indicating that one-bedroom rentals in NYC surged 18% in February to a record high of $4,200, it's puzzling to consider who would choose to live there. Additionally, even median rents in Jersey City, located across the Hudson River from Manhattan, rose 5.4% to $3,140.

Meanwhile, rents across the country have decreased by .7% this month compared to last year, primarily due to a surge in the construction of new rental units outside major cities. February represented the fifth straight month of flat or declining year-over-year rent changes nationwide. Yet, this trend of cooling rental prices does not apply to NYC, where a housing shortage continues.

Perhaps the housing shortage in NYC has been made worse by the surge of 200,000 illegals bussed into the metro area from the open southern border in the last 18 months.

Ahead of the November elections, Democrats have stuffed the illegals in schools, hotels, and community centers and have even wanted to give them debit cards pre-loaded with tax-payer funds. One can only assume that the government placing these migrants into apartments across the city will only make the housing affordability crisis worse.

Russia to BAN Gasoline Exports for 6 Months, Tanking European Economy

Russia will impose a six-month ban on gasoline exports starting tomorrow, March 1, to meet rising domestic demand. It will also serve to severely increase costs for gasoline in all Western countries, presently helping Ukraine.

Demand for fuel inside Russia will grow because of summer vacation travel, spring fieldwork on farms, and planned repairs at oil refineries say oil industry executives. In order to offset the booming demand for petroleum products, measures are needed to help stabilize domestic prices.

Yet no one is blind to the fact that such an export ban will severely harm Western countries who are presently supporting Ukraine in its conflict with Russia.

Russia can increase and decrease oil, gasoline, and Diesel fuel production at will because they have so much of it.

Europe was still getting gasoline, albeit thru secondary sources. Now, they get nothing. Nothing.

Now , "the enemy" won't be getting the same reserves because here in the USA, Biden has emptied U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserves as of this year.

So , America also won't be sending fuel to Europe as it has none to give, and cannot ramp-up production because the Biden environmentalists have crushed US ability to drill for more oil.

With Russia turning off the gasoline exports, the countries that need such fuel will have to find other sources, which are quite limited in the world. Like any other thing, supply and demand dictates price, and so prices for gasoline will rise again commencing tomorrow, March 1, as Russia punishes the West for supporting Ukraine.

It also means Russia is gearing up war mobilization abilities, while decreasing those of their antagonists.

Russia has gigantic reserves and the capability to mass produce diesel and gasoline for their Mechanized unPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

RINO 'Cocaine Mitch' McConnell To Step Down As Senate Leader

Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who turned 82 last week and has suffered multiple public 'glitches,' will step down from his Senate leadership position in November after maintaining power for almost two decades as the longest-serving Senate leader in US history.

McConnell was set to announce his decision on Wednesday in the well of the Senate, AP reports.

"One of life’s most underappreciated talents is to know when it’s time to move on to life’s next chapter," he said in prepared remarks seen by the outlet. "So I stand before you today … to say that this will be my last term as Republican leader of the Senate."

While he'll no longer be leader, McConnell will serve out his Senate term, which ends in January 2027, "albeit from a different seat in the chamber."

It also arrived, as noted above, after two major health scares and his party shifting towards anti-war populism ushered in by President Trump.

The impending leadership vacuum raises questions about the direction of the Republican Party. His successor will inherit a party at a crossroads, caught between its pro-establishment faux-conservative roots and the real conservative national-populist wave that has reshaped it's identity in recent years.

We always think "good riddance" initially when a snake like Mitch goes. But then the prospect of a worse snake replacing the current snake with another comes to mind.

Numerous companies such as multibillion dollar game developer Valve, and BCI software startup Neurable have already been for the last few years starting to look at ways brain computer interfaces can be commercialized and developed for use in gaming. Once speaking with IGN, Valve cofounder and president Gabe Newell was quoted as saying “We’re way closer to ‘The Matrix’ than people realize,”… “It’s going to have a huge impact on the kinds of experiences we can create for people.” He said in reference to the ways in which brain computer interfaces could potentially be used to enhance player interactions with games possibly to a point of near total immersion.

Biden Regime Depleting Arsenal Against Yemen, Yet Retaliation Continues To Surprise Neo-cons

Joe Biden administration officials admitted that six weeks into the undeclared war in Yemen, the US and UK strikes have failed to erode the Houthis military capabilities. The officials said the US is surprised at the Houthis’ military capabilities and that Washington has a limited understanding of how advanced their weapons systems are.

On January 11, President Biden ordered the first round of strikes in Yemen. The White House claimed the attack was designed to force the Houthis to end attacks on Israeli-linked shipping. The Houthis, or Ansar Allah, are attacking ships they suspect to have ties with Israel to pressure Tel Aviv to end the genocide in Gaza.

Without any Congressional approval, Biden has ordered strikes on Yemen nearly every day. The attacks have not achieved their desired effects as the Houthis have expanded their targets to include US and UK-linked shipping.

Last week, missiles fired from Yemen hit multiple ships in the waters off the country’s coast. One ship suffered significant damage and is leaking oil.

The recent attacks included the use of new weapons systems for the Houthis, including naval drones. Biden administration officials speaking with CNN told the outlet that the war is not having its desired outcome, that the Houthis’ military capabilities continue to surprise the White House, and that the Pentagon is unaware of the extent of weapons stockpiles in Yemen.

"They continue to surprise us. We just don’t have a good idea of what they still have," said one senior defense official. Multiple officials revealed the issue is that Washington does not know the size of the Houthis’ arms stockpiles and cannot assess if the hundreds of US bombs dropped on Yemen have impacted the Houthis military abilities.

Some administration officials now believe the best way to end the conflict is by ending the war in Gaza, according to CNN.

State-run Corporate Media Finally Admits Ukraine Will Lose War Against Russia

“As the second anniversary of Russia’s invasion nears, and the latest aid package for Ukraine stalls in Congress, we must be clear-eyed about the future.

There is no path for Ukraine to win this war. American support will not change this reality.

Today, the situation is grim. The fighting has slowed to a cruel slog that works to Russia’s favor. Ukraine runs low on troops and munitions, while Russia maintains both in plenty.

The long-planned, high-risk, months-long Ukrainian spring 2023 counteroffensive failed, with Ukraine unable to regain territory seized by Russia. Support for Zelensky in Ukraine and the West has finally slipped. American aid is logjammed in Congress, and the U.S. seems tired of funding the war.

It is clear that even if the House approves the current proposed aid package, the flow of weapons is coming to a close. Without a continuing stream of those weapons, Ukraine will ultimately fall.

In considering an aid package to Ukraine, Washington policymakers and their constituents must assess how long the cash and weapons will continue to flow and toward what end.

Getting to a favorable or at least even negotiated settlement will take more than a year of fighting.

Putin has no incentive to stop fighting and every incentive to continue pushing and waiting for his adversaries to run out of troops and munitions, and for policymakers in the U.S. to run out of patience.

None of this is fair to the people of Ukraine, who have placed their hopes of sovereignty on America’s commitment to them.

It is, however, the tragic reality of the situation.”

Farmers Surround EU Headquarters Building In Massive Protests Against Starvation Cultists

The mephitis of manure, melting tires and malodorous teargas pervaded downtown Brussels this Monday morning as angry farmers encircled the European Union's headquarters. This protest coincides with a meeting of the bloc's agriculture ministers. The farmers are expressing their anger over the EU's disastrous "green" policies.

The European Quarter in Brussels looks like a warzone: https://twitter.com/RMXnews/status/1762103742516588547

Hundreds of Belgian farmers on tractors clogged roadways around the European Council building. Videos posted on X show the chaotic scenes: https://twitter.com/stillgray/status/1762068583818150296

In chaotic scenes, police met the rowdy crowd with water cannons, as protesters set fire to tires, dumped manure on the street and defied barricades: https://twitter.com/POLITICOEurope/status/1762068102026826133

European farmers break through checkpoints in Brussels and head towards EU headquarters: https://twitter.com/RadioGenoa/status/1762050029051666679

According to Bloomberg, farmers are angry about bureaucratic hurdles, trade deals, climate-related rules, and efforts to help Ukraine dump cheap grain onto markets.

"There is a clear problem with the reduction of the import tariffs for Ukraine and massive imports of grain and poultry which depresses the prices," said Guillaume Van Binst, secretary general of the Federation of Young Farmers.

Guillaume added: "The measures proposed by the commission are very weak and it is more passing the hot potato to member states."

San Francisco Picks Up The Pieces After The Epic Failure Of Their Red State Boycott

In late 2016 the city of San Francisco attempted a sweeping boycott program aimed at building their public image as a leftist "Utopia" while also giving a middle finger to red state economies. The project was called "Chapter 12X" and was authored by California state Senator Scott Wiener.

Even though progressive boycotts have been consistently unsuccessful over the years, this did not stop them from making yet another attempt at the height of the Trump vs Clinton election frenzy. Perhaps they believed the tide was shifting even further to the political left and they were getting ahead of the game.

The goal of San Francisco's effort was to ban all city employees from doing business with companies based in states with policies and laws contrary to progressive dictates. Companies in states with abortion restrictions, states that prevented "trans identifying people" from using the bathroom or locker room of their choice, states that required identification proving citizenship before voting, states that don't obey the tenets of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion ideology, states that refused to implement climate change laws and companies that did not disclose carbon impact reports were not allowed to do contract business in San Francisco.

For SF bureaucrats the assumption was that access to the city's market was the prize and through a boycott they would teach red states a lesson. It did not, red states and small rural conservative towns are still booming with growth (white flight 2.0).

In the aftermath of a repeal on the boycott, San Francisco is trying to understand why their plan failed while also still trying to institute some kind of ideological filter on city business dealings. The end of the contract ban is expected to decrease citywide expenditures by at least 20% in 2024 - In the midst of a stagflationary crisis every penny counts.

Backup Any Online Media You Desire NOW, Houthis Have Begun Cutting Undersea Internet Cables!

3 submarine cables cut in the Red Sea between Jeddah and Djibouti. AAE-1, EIG and SEACOM/TGN-Eurasia are down. Note: Authorities looking at potential terror link.

Confirmed: Submarine cables cut by Houthis in Yemen waters.

To repair the cables, need permission from Yemen to enter their waters

Insurance companies have canceled insurance for cable ships to ply in Yemen waters

No maintenance cable ships willing to do repairs

Cable ships cost $60-&100 million each. Who will take the risk?

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1761859936617959443.html

MY COMMENT: I already have plenty of backups of everything I desire. What I recommend is having, at the very least, TWO offline "cold storage" copy external HDD drives of all the media you desire to collect and keep for the future, the more backup drives the better chance at long-term preservation of all the files. Have anything very important, such as info /dump/ memes and informative DIY guides backed up to DVD data disks as well. You should also have a few spare laptops and PCs with extra computer hardware to maintain them in storage. If the internet ever goes down, you could refer to your offline resource library if need be. I also recommend buying important books too, as you may sometime soon need to ration generated energy in a grid-down event. Also note, if the internet and/or power grid goes down longer than 8 hours you should be on high alert and have your prepping contingency plans ready to defend yourself, family and private property!

Uniformed US Air Force Member Sets Himself On Fire To Protest Gaza Genocide

The U.S. Air Force confirms an active duty American airman was involved in a self immolation act in front of the Israeli Embassy today - a protest against what he rightfully described as a genocide in Gaza. He set himself on fire.

“I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest,” he says calmly, walking down a street.

"But compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”

As the man ignites, he yells "Free Palestine." A nearby police officer begins yelling "Get on the ground" as the man is seen fully ignited; and for some reason - perhaps mental retardation, the officer continues to yell "get on the ground."

Within seconds, a man appearing to be an officer comes into camera view aiming a gun at the burning man, as if that makes any sense on any level at all.

The Airman who ignited himself is identified as Aaron Bushnell, 25.

On the scene, the fire on his body was extinguished by what appeared to be police officers using several fire extinguishers before the DC Metro Fire Department arrived.

They seem to have successfully resuscitated him, at least long enough to get to a local hospital.

I am told he is in critical condition with "life-threatening injuries."

Those of you supporting Israel as it commits this genocide, may wish to rethink your position. After all, when was the last time you even heard of a US military member setting himself on fire to stop participating in GENOCIDE?

US Military Officers . . . . YOU are backing the wrong side in this situation. YOU are enabling genocide. STOP IT.

Term Limits For Congress Could Save America From Utter Demise

Upwards of 80% of Americans favor term limits, yet entrenched politicians in Congress – and the lobbyists who need them to advance their special interests have found ways of quashing them time after time.

America’s great middle class – once the envy of the world – has steadily shrunk over the past 50 years. The special interests who fund incumbents are looking out for everybody but us. And so we get higher taxes, lower incomes, and bigger government. The same dynamic has also played out in the political sphere, with a larger and more bureaucratic government weakening personal liberty.

The terrorist threat and crime wave that have breached our collapsed Southern border are more indications of the erosion of the American way of life. So, in addition to the well-reported opioid crisis in America, something that rightly concerns all of us, there is another plague in the land – politicians addicted to being in office – the subject of my new book on the need for term limits, “Unshackling Democracy.”

Whether the onus of high taxes or the decline in decent jobs is your top priority, or your right and duty to pass on your traditional values to your children, you should be very concerned that the cords by which “we the people” control our government continue to get more and more threadbare.

First, foremost, and most difficult, we must introduce an amendment to the U.S. Constitution to impose term limits on members of Congress. Only by limiting U.S. senators to two six-year terms and members of the U.S. House of Representatives to three two-year terms can we tip the balance of power back to “we the people” and away from the economy-killing and government-expanding laws that entrenched politicians support at the behest of special interests.

Second, we must disallow shenanigans that enable politicians to profit at the public expense. Just as insider trading is illegal on Wall Street, it should certainly be forbidden in Washington. During the 2020 elections, 302 memPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Did you know almost all major NGOs "non-governmental organizations" are, in fact, funded by our governments at taxpayer expense?

100% TRUE.

Did you know that governments, the NGOs and all major media outlets, including most social media platforms, work together to establish political/economic agendas and control narratives?

100% TRUE.

Did you know that governments are using NGOs and media corporations, all heavily subsidized by governments, in collusion to censor and to push propaganda against their own citizenry?

100% TRUE.

Did you know that there is a massive industry to control governmental narratives on issues like war, the economy, societal issues, national security threats, etc? An industry that is largely paid for by taxpayers, did you know that?
