World War III Watch — Breaking: China-Led BRICS Alliance Adds Six New Countries

August 24, 2023

Just announced this morning, The BRICS Group Has Invited SIX new Nation State Members, Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, Iran, the U.A.E. and Saudi Arabia, to join its roster, expanding Its reach as an alternative global super power. These six new countries have been invited to join the Chinese and Russian led club of emerging nations, strengthening its role as a geopolitical alternative to Western-led forums. The BRICS group — think an alternative NATO — is already composed of the countries Brasil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

Though the group of eleven countries just met in South Africa at the fifteenth annual BRICS Forum in South Africa, the newest member states to be invited have not formally joined BRICS, implying that the United States and its European allies have a chance in the coming months to massage differences and offer incentives to said countries in order to keep diplomatic ties and strengthen relationships between them and NATO allies.

What this illustrates more than anything is how important the next presidential election in the United States is and how much work that person and cabinet will have in order to try to cool things off on the geopolitical scene, and hopefully stopping BRICS from growing any further. No easy feat.

Chinese warship cuts off US Navy ship, marking 2nd military provocation in week

By Luis Martinez June 4, 2023, 6:14 AM ET • 7 min read. In the second major provocation by China’smilitary in the span of a week, a Chinese warship carried out what the U.S. military called “an unsafe maritime interaction” when it crossed an American warship’s bow at a distance of 150 yards forcing the U.S. Navy destroyer to take evasive maneuvers to avoid a collision.

AI Godfather Yoshua Bengio Feels Lost Over Life’s Work

One of the so-called “godfathers” of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has said he would have prioritised safety over usefulness had he realised the pace at which it would evolve. The computer scientist’s comments come after experts in AI said it could lead to the extinction of humanity.

Xi Jinping tells China’s national security chiefs to prepare for ‘worst case’ scenarios

Hong Kong (CNN) — Chinese leader Xi Jinping has called on his top national security officials to think about “worst case” scenarios and prepare for “stormy seas,” as the ruling Communist Party hardens efforts to counter any perceived internal and external threats. “The complexity and difficulty of the national security issues we now face have increased significantly,” Xi said Tuesday at a meeting of the party’s National Security Commission, state news agency Xinhua reported.

World War Three is far more likely than anyone is prepared to admit

New weapons and our failure to understand our enemies are raising the chances of a horrific conflict. We have been remarkably lucky so far. Human beings invented nuclear weapons 77 years ago, but haven’t used them to slaughter each other since Nagasaki. We created long-range rockets, as Vladimir Putin reminded us again last week when he unveiled his Satan II Sarmat intercontinental ballistic missiles, but have avoided using them to annihilate our rivals’ cities. We are playing with genetic engineering, space travel, AI, and even enhancing the virulence of some pathogens, but have yet to deliberately use any of these technologies for mass warfare. …

World War III Begins With Forgetting

In March, as President Biden was facing pressure to intensify U.S. involvement in Ukraine, he responded by invoking the specter of World War III four times in one day. “Direct conflict between NATO and Russia is World War III,” he said, “something we must strive to prevent.” He underscored the point hours later: “The idea that we’re going to send in offensive equipment and have planes and tanks and trains going in with American pilots and American crews — just understand, and don’t kid yourself, no matter what you all say, that’s called World War III, OK?”

Are we on the brink of World War Three?

Foreign Secretary James Cleverly is warning today of the risks of a “tragic miscalculation” in the Indo-Pacific and will urge Beijing to be open about its “biggest military build-up in peacetime history”.Others fear that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine – the largest military conflict in Europe since the Second World War – poses an equally high geopolitical risk. And Ukraine and China are not the only potential flashpoints involving major powers around the globe.North Korea’s recent vows to expand its nuclear stockpile has also increased fears of a global conflict. Hours into the New Year, supreme leader Kim Jung Un called for an “exponential increase” in his regime’s nuclear arsenal, in a sign of “deepening animosity” towards the US, South Korea and Japan, said The Guardian. Uncertainty also surrounds efforts to stop Iran from joining the nuclear club.

The ‘New Nostradamus’ reveals the date of World War III and its link to Taiwan

As the seer said, World War III will begin in 2023 and it will all start in Taiwan, known to be the cause of conflicts with China, as they have a tense relationship that has been growing increasingly heated in recent months. According to Hamilton-Parker, it will be triggered by the collision of two aircraft or submarines, which will set off a series of events.”I have said for some time that there is a conflict coming over Taiwan, which I think will happen in 2023,” he explained on his YouTube channel.

Putin’s Invasion of Ukraine Is a ‘World War’ With No ‘End’ in Sight: Pope

Russia Says Likelihood of Nuclear Weapons Being Used Growing by the Day

AI poses ‘risk of extinction’ on par with nukes, tech leaders say (Washington Post)

Hundreds of artificial intelligence scientists and tech executives signed a one-sentence letter that succinctly warns AI poses an existential threat to humanity, the latest example of a growing chorus of alarms raised by the very people creating the technology.

“Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war,” according to the statement released Tuesday by the nonprofit Center for AI Safety.

Chinese Malware Hits Systems on Guam. Is Taiwan the Real Target?

The code, which Microsoft said was installed by a Chinese government hacking group, set off alarms because Guam would be a centerpiece of any U.S. military response to a move against Taiwan.

US response to Putin using nuclear weapons would put us at the ‘doorstep of World War III’ — Skynews.com.au

Curtin University political analyst Professor Joe Siracusa says America’s response to if Russian President Vladimir Putin used tactical nuclear weapons would “put us right at the doorstep of World War III”. 

Professor Siracusa’s remarks come after the United States decided to allow the allies to supply F-16 fighter jets to Kyiv. 

“I believe that President Putin is very seriously considering his options – one of them might be a tactical nuclear weapon,” he told Sky News Australia. 

“I heard in Europe last week that what would be the American response if President Putin actually used tactical nuclear weapons. 

“The word I heard was that the Pentagon has informed the Kremlin through backchannels that the United States would respond with a massive conventional attack on the Russian Black Fleet which of course would put us right at the doorstep of World War III.”

With Ban on Micron, China Escalates Microchip Clash With U.S.

A Chinese government block on Micron Technology’s memory chips marks how far apart the two economic powers, the United States and China, are drifting on tech policy.

“The Chinese government barred companies that handle critical information from buying microchips made by the Boise, Idaho-based Micron. The company’s chips, which are used for memory storage in all kinds of electronics, like phones and computers, were deemed to pose “relatively serious cybersecurity problems” by China’s internet watchdog after a review.”

China’s $23 Trillion Debt Mess Is About To Get Much Worse

Could be something. Could be nothing. 23 trillion dollars is a lot money. Worse if it’s a country’s debt. Coincidentally it also happens to be just about the same amount as the United States national debt. Countries do crazy things when their debt begins to outweigh their fiscal ability to pay it back, as is and has been the case for the US for a few years now. Truth is, the United States will never be able to pay down its debt. Hell, they won’t even be able to make their annual interest payments on said debt, a disturbing fact that the majority of Americans don’t know, haven’t even thought about, but everyone in government does and has. Obsessively. By far one of the most worrisome aspects of keeping the nation alive without going to war. China, the second largest economy on planet earth is quickly joining the U.S. in regards to its own national debt. Not a cheery or hopeful piece of news.

This Wall Street Journal article below is slightly major. Not unlike many events we’ve observed around the world over the last few months regarding a potentially impending global military conflict. Are we going to wake up tomorrow and see the news flooded with reports about a world war breaking out somewhere? No, definitely not. But the fact that China, Russia and the U.S. are willing to play tit for tat and even attempt to outdo each other in cold war styled retaliations or unprovoked attacks on one another or even make an involuntary mistake that causes major but unintended consequences is enough to raise the hair on the back of your neck. In other words it continues to escalate, as the leaders of said countries continue to wave and smile as if nothing is going on is disturbing. Click link to read whole article

China Puts Spymaster in Charge of U.S. Corporate Crackdown

By Lingling Wei. May 18, 2023, 11:06 am EDT

China’s crackdown on overseas firms has made clear that leader Xi Jinping values security over economic growth. To eradicate any doubt, according to people familiar with the matter, he has put state-security czar Chen Yixin in charge.

The campaign, which has included raids on Chinese offices of U.S. due-diligence firms and questioning of staff at the Bain consulting firm, is sending shock waves across global businesses.

Italy has signaled to the US that it intends to pull out of a controversial Chinese Belt and Road Investment Pact before the end of the year. Read Bloomberg Article Here

For the United States and other Allied Nation Coalition countries the above is good news. Italy is the only G7 country involved in China’s controversial Belt and Road Initiative. It’s controversial because it’s a clear play to become the world’s largest most powerful superpower by offering free money, infrastructure, buildings, transportation systems, airports, railways, skyscrapers, basically anything a country could want or need to conduct business. (To learn more about Chinas Belt and Road Initiative, something everyone should have a knowledge and understanding of, click here.) In return they would indirectly if not overtly owe a debt to China. And in the meantime China would have yet more transportation routs and trade deals all over the world, guaranteeing it to be the worlds largest economy and business entity in the world. Italy exiting the deal would be a good thing for those not wanting to see the world too communist. Though what it might inspire China to feel, knowing it was pressure by the United States that compelled Italy’s move, is up in their air. They certainly won’t feel good about it. But overall, good news.

Xi Jinping Said Today He Is Preparing China For War: The World Should Take Him Seriously — World War III Watch (3)

March 30, 2023

The headline graces the cover of Foreign Affairs magazine this morning: “President Xi Jinping Says He is Preparing China For War: The Rest Of The World Should Take Him Seriously. Here: https://www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/xi-jinping-says-he-preparing-china-warhttps://www.foreignaffairs.com/united-states/xi-jinping-says-he-preparing-china-war

And there it is. On the cover of Foreign Affairs today. “Xi Jinping Says He Is Preparing China For War: The World Should Take Him Seriously”
Some of us can take a few days off now. It’s out. Finally. I have to admit i feel a strange sense of vindication, seeing it start to come out in the mainstream. Didn’t think i would. Was praying i was wrong. As i preface every essay with, this is not something you want to be right about.
But after being near certain about an impending World War III for over a year based on following a consistent steady onslaught of very specific events, and writing about it for over a year, only to start to see undeniable proof of it in the last three months, yet still not hearing a word about it from anyone else, i was beginning to think i and few others were the only ones who wouldn’t be surprised once the lights went out.
My only concern now is will anyone in the U.S. start to wake up to it? Before it’s too late? Or will they keep their faces buried in TikTok and irrelevant domestic political drama?
Will Americans finally start acknowledging the dangerous precipice the world is on — especially considering it’s the United States who has everything to lose? Or keep ignoring the bigger picture till the entire world is on fire…?
I’m not sure. Post a song, 200 people will lovingly comment. Post a joke, 100 people will comment LOL. But post something about the disastrous geopolitical landscape we live in and the biggest transformation of power in four generations and it’s crickets. Americans have completely tuned out world affairs. Except on Twitter. They seem incapable of acknowledging it, let alone following it. Their biggest network news in the US doesn’t even cover it. They’ll spend ten minutes pretending what some congress person in Iowa said to an aid is news, but not say one thing about the hundreds of events that have led us up to this point of being so close to a full on global military conflict. It’s insanity. Textbook.
I’m fully aware that here on FB I’m speaking to no one when discussing world affairs. Part of it is the platform itself. But where better to inform your closest friends and colleagues about the most important events transpiring in our lives? We all love our dogs and kids. But it’s our kids who are being and will be affected the most by the events of the last six months. Ours ask us about these events weekly. They notice. Their lives and careers are being affected.
And this is only the beginning. As i say in every essay over the last three months. And sure enough the next day offers even more devastating news confirming this coming conflagration.
Admittedly this cover story above is BIG. We finally have some confirmation that we weren’t just crying wolf. The question now is what are we going to do? Will Biden acknowledge it? Or keep playing dead? Since the United States is the only country in the world now NOT talking about this every day every hour, will they ever? Or will they literally wait till the very last minute and suddenly act like it’s new news to them?
Well, regardless of what the United States government does or doesn’t do, WE already know. If you follow me, YOU already know. We’re there now. Every late night deep discussion we all participated in during the college years about the possibility of another world war or the United States no longer being the worlds superpower… We’re there now. It’s happening.
I hope and pray this might help unite the two different and sharply divided contingents of the nation. For without that, we don’t stand a chance. But truth be told I don’t think we have a chance regardless. America is tired, drunk, broke, lazy, divided, spoiled, deeply in debt, sick to death of its own corruption, obsessed with the shallow or what might make them a celebrity for a night or two.
There is no Great Generation in the younger ranks. They are woefully despondent, doped up on TV and antidepressants or high on their favorite strain of cannabis. They don’t know history. So they don’t realize that we’re now living in the most historically important era since the 1940s. It’s just not part of who they are.
God this is depressing. Yet it’s true. It’s never served anyone to bury their head in the sand in order to avoid seeing the truth. Americans have had it good for so long that like an addict they have become so drenched in it that all they can think about is how much they don’t have. They spend their time killing each other in daily mass shootings and then arguing about what caused it rather than fixing the problem. It’s Rome. It’s Persia. It’s Egypt. It’s Great Britain.
This is why the New Communist Alliance I speak of often has had no problem getting ahead of the US in this buildup to World War III. When you have ten nations all supremely focused on one goal, ridding the world of the United States as a superpower once and for all, and that same United States still focused on infighting about whether gay people or black people or women deserve equal rights, when the rest of the world already made up its mind about that decades ago, it is clear who the winner will be.
It’s not that the New Communist Alliance countries are better or on the right side. They’re not. They’re ideologically deplorable in ideal and practice. Sickening dictatorships. The United States and it’s western allies are still way ahead of the game in their democratic and egalitarian ideals and systems. But that doesn’t negate their spoiled sense of entitlement or their ignorance of world affairs; nor their addiction to distraction and luxury.

We’ve seen this movie far too many times. The once reigning superpower never survives once they hit this point in the film. Except for a few notable exceptions.
We could recall that when Rome fell it didn’t actually matter because the empire itself had already moved to Byzantium and continued to reign Supreme over most of the world for another thousand years. Despite the harm that did to hundreds of millions, it does offer hope for the United States having a chance here in this coming epic battle for world domination we are faced with now.
Let us hope that the powers that be are on top of this, that they have a plan, that the younger generations are not half as inept as they seem when it comes to defending our homeland, that a treaty of some kind can be reached, even if it only buys us another few years to settle our affairs. I was never patriotic. I am now. God save the republic.

World War III Watch (2) — China Escalates the Tension By Bypassing the U.S. Dollar & Creating a New Global Trade Agreement

March 30, 2023

ATTN: This latest development in what appears to be the quickly impending World War III scenario I’ve been writing about for the last six months was just announced about 5 minutes ago. The story is still breaking. Ive been refreshing a large variety of diff news sites every minute to monitor.

“BREAKING: Fox News: China’s new agreement with Iran, India, Saudi Arabia and Russia is a fatal blow to the dollar. Fox News reported that China was able to deal a fatal blow to the dollar in the trade agreement with Iran, India, Saudi Arabia and Russia.”

And this: “BREAKING: CNBC confirms that Saudi Arabia has joined a China-led security bloc and trade alliance with China, Russia, India, Pakistan and others.”
“China transacts the very first commodities purchase, of liquid natural gas, using a currency other than the US dollar in 100 years.”
Today is Wednesday March 29th, 2023. Every bit as disastrous as Friday March 17th, which up until 30 minutes ago I classifed as the worst day in regards to events leading up to World War III. It was. But today tied it.
We knew it might be coming. Some did at least. Though i still did not necessarily believe we’d see this latest event below in our lifetimes, I wrote about and predicted the potential for it to happen two weeks ago in the essay entitled World War III Watch in the Transcendence Diaries here: https://transcendencediaries.com/2023/03/17/world-war-iii-and-what-to-watch-for/
So far little by little every prediction in the essay has continued to transpire day by day. Though it’s clearly not something anyone wanted to see happen. Seeing the potential for it to happen, writing about and warning about it, is not the same as wanting it.
But the activities and events are now moving FAST. As they have been for months. While the US not only doesn’t do anything about it, doesn’t even speak about it, doesn’t even acknowledge it to the general public.
I refuse to believe that the US government is not fully aware of these events, not monitoring them and not preparing for them. One assumes they just haven’t wanted to alert the American people about it, due to what a mess the U.S. is in domestically, and out of fear of panic setting in. I believe they’ve made a tragic strategic error in judgement in not telling the American people about it and not preparing them for it.
We’ve been watching events like this unfold all year that strongly indicate the world is barreling at breakneck speed toward a global military conflict, a World War III or something like it. Definitely something much bigger and more impactful than a Cold War now. The Cold War with Russia and China from 30 years ago seems quaint by comparison. That was all about spying and intelligence agencies.
This is all above board, real world, practical changes in the most fundamental and foundational aspects of the global geopolitical environment and the relationship between the earth’s largest superpowers. Energy, commodities, currencies, banking, trade agreements, financial markets, political alliances, et al. are all being swiftly manipulated simultaneously. But for the first time, not by the United States.
It’s what some have been calling “The Great Reset” as China begins to overtake the United States in global dominance and influence in a variety of different arenas, along with an ever-growing number of other countries while together they build what I’ve been referring to as The Communist Alliance. Though I dont think anybody believed we’d see this much unfold in a matter of 3 months. But we have.
The world may escape a global conflict if the US just peters out and dies on the vine, which is ultimately what this new Communist Alliance wants and is aiming for. With the US having the largest debt in human history, one of the biggest Debt to GDP ratios on record, now over 100%, and China being the largest, most important debt holder of American instruments, this is the perfect time for this new alliance to make its move.
Together the US and the EU combined have not been able to help Ukraine beat Russia in any measurable way nor even move in the right direction. No matter how much they spend. Their influence has been weak and without much benefit to Ukraine. Clearly this is something China and Russia have noticed, along with the rest of the world, and a large reason why they’ve decided to amp up so quickly in their shared mission.
They don’t “want” a war. And they may not even need one if things keep going the way they’re going. They want to replace the United States in global dominance. And they have been strategically brilliant over the last 4 years in this. Especially China.
This latest development takes them one step closer. Closer than they’ve ever been. Closer than any country has ever been in the last 100 years. I honestly didn’t think we’d see this and so many other events over the last few months in our lifetime.
This is an unheralded event. If this even starts to repeat or becomes the norm, it has the potential to crush the US economy in months. The United States will have no choice but to quickly shift toward war-footing before that even begins to happen.
Throw in Iran, Syria, North Korea, Hungary, along with others, and a pending Chinese invasion of Taiwan soon to come, and we begin to see how far we’ve let this get without doing anything.
As an American I am deeply concerned that the Biden administration seems to have no clue what’s happening. I’d feel much more comfortable if he held a press conference or a prime time televised talk to all Americans to advise us what we’re seeing, what it implies and what they plan to do about it.
Lest we forget China president Xi is in Ukraine now meeting with Zelensky. I must admit that I am on pins and needles dreading an announcement from either of them about any kind of new influence or assistance from China to Ukraine.

If China is successful in brokering any kind of peace agreement or ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, that too would be another nail in the coffin for the US, immediately showing how out of touch and unnecessary they are on the world stage.
Having Europe as your ally no longer means what it once did. In fact it now means very little. Especially when it’s your biggest and only ally and your enemy is a new global superpower collation led by China and Russia.
Taiwan’s president is in the US meeting with the White House, the American president surely confirming unilateral unwavering support for Taiwan, despite the fact that we already know China’s intention to take it over. None of this is “good”.

World War III Watch

March 17, 2023

For me it started during the summer of 2021, approximately a year and a half ago. It wasn’t based on news or data, but only an intuitive feeling at the time. Throughout the morning that day I had been feeling a disturbing intuitive sense that something was off regarding international relations and global conflicts. Something bad was about to happen globally and it was major.

I walked into the kitchen where Princess Little Tree (PLT) was cooking all morning and I said “there’s going to be some kind of a war honey. Something big. Like a world war. I can feel it.” But Princess Little Tree is accustomed to my outlandish declarations. She responded by asking me if something had happened that led me to think that. I told her no, it’s just a really strong intuitive sense. As the feeling continued to intensify I continued to repeat to her throughout the day how I was sensing something big, some kind of major global altercation. At some point she said “well let’s note it and put it on the calendar”. So we did. On a hot august day in the summer of 2021. We wrote “PBJ (Prince Baby Joon) sees a world war coming”.

And that was it. Time passed. And we didn’t hear or see much in the way of anything that supported this idea. Until more than a year later when Russia invaded Ukraine. That in and of itself did not raise the hairs on the back of my neck. We had seen this movie too many times before, especially during the Obama years. Then it stopped once Trump was elected and Russia suddenly was on its best behavior. (Interesting that…) But for some reason it got everyone else alarmed. Especially the United states and Europe.

Once the United States and Europe started acting as if the safety and security of the entire world was being threatened by this Russian invasion of Ukraine (it’s not), I started commenting, softly and slowly at first and then more intensely, “this is the beginning of what I was seeing. We’re literally watching in real time what could easily throw us into a world war…”. It wasn’t Russia invading Ukraine. It was the fact that the US and most European countries were so willing to jump into the conflict by suddenly backing Ukraine as if they too were in a war against Russia.

Which of course they were, as the rest of us would soon begin to realize as the months wore on. Pretty soon it was hard to tell who was at war. Sure Ukraine held the little name badge showing they were an official team in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. But the United States is the country actually funding and weaponizing the whole thing. And this along with Europe’s contributions to Ukraine and directly opposing Russia was and will remain historically one of the biggest foreign policy errors in human history. And at this point anyone who claims that the United States is not at war with Russia is not paying attention. Or in denial. Or lying.

[Right here I’m going to tell you that exploring the reasons why the United States decided to go to war against Russia (simply put it’s payback to Zelensky for keeping his mouth shut to protect both Trump and Biden from the criminal repercussions they’d receive if the full stories of their past actions in and involving Ukraine were revealed) is vital but not pertinent to the bigger picture of this impending world war, because this has spiraled so far out of control now, in so many different directions that the US didn’t foresee, that even the strange and abnormal hero status and protection that the United States has bestowed upon Zelensky is not as important as everything else we’re witnessing that appears to be leading us into a large scale global super-conflict that threatens to be the biggest and deadliest in human history.]

Late yesterday, after a slew of concerning events that further showed how quickly the world is moving toward war, the president of Serbia gave a chilling warning about it: “…this is an escalation that has no end. I’m afraid that we may be heading towards the biggest conflict in the history of the world. I wonder if anyone is smart enough not to go through with this, and if anyone understands whatever the consequences of this will be,” Vucic said.

Friday March 17 2023 will go down in history books as the day that signaled the world was headed down a path toward another world war. Out of everything we heard through the newswires Friday that signaled this dark moment, perhaps none was more important nor more important than hearing that the International Criminal Court (ICC) of the Netherlands issued a formal arrest warrant for Russian President Putin for war crimes. It is one of the most surreal and ludicrous actions we’ve seen so far building up to the harsh realities now facing us.

Surreal because one cannot imagine anyone so short sighted to issue an arrest warrant against the president of a sovereign nation, especially not under the circumstances of said president being in the middle of a war with another country. The implications are immense. President Putin is immune to such an action. As any president of any other sovereign nation is. At best this is a foolhardy political ploy that will feed only the hearts and minds of celebrity-minded media maggots with nothing better to talk about. The same anchors reporters and pundits who play Who’s Popular with American politicians every night instead of reporting the news.

To see how ludicrous the action is imagine for a moment if the ICC issued an arrest warrant for American President Joe Biden. The United States would immediately issue a press release decrying the act as not legally binding and not lawfully applicable to the president. Just as the Kremlin did. They would also issue a warning to the ICC and the 123 member countries to not move forward with any such actions in that direction or face the consequences. Just as the Kremlin did.

Most importantly if anyone did take this arrest warrant seriously and do anything to president Biden, the US military would take such swift action to protect our president that it would be over in less than 30 minutes. It would also spell the beginning of the end for that country. One can only imagine the destruction that would befall said country should they do anything that stupid. The same thing would happen if anything were to happen to president Putin. As it should be. It would ring the bells of the first shots that began World War III. If we do not collectively honor the national sovereignty of other countries and their leaders, no matter how much we might disagree with them, then we don’t deserve freedom and liberty as a people. We might as well start building the jail cells to prepare for the forever-1984 world we’d be creating.

After nearly a year of talking about this, trying to get others to see what’s happening, how obvious it is, how deadly it’s going to be, we finally get some confirmation, someone else, someone with a little credibility on the world stage, warning of the same thing. Because it has become obvious now to anyone paying attention.

Many other countries around the world haven’t been as withholding and have already boldly stepped forward to declare their allegiance to one side or the other for all the world to see. Much of it has happened in the last month. I have been shocked how quickly it’s unfolding now. What started out as nothing more than a feeling, turned into a hunch, and then avalanched into a reality composed of a daily series of events that we can now track and dread.

The nations of the world are quickly forming alliances with each other, choosing which side they’re on and filing into place in preparation for this coming world war. The United States seems to be the only nation who hasn’t come clean with its citizens or the media or the rest of the world in admitting what they see happening and what they plan on doing about it.

My guess is that the powers that be in Washington know very well what’s happening, regardless of how dumb and clueless those in the White House, senate and congress appear to be to the rest of us. My hope is that those who need to know do know and they’re just playing it close to the vest to delay the chaos and panic that would ensue if it came out.

In the last month we’ve seen a multitude of incidents announced around the world that should be terrifying to those paying attention, which is the primary problem: not many people are paying attention. And I dont believe that even the events of this week’s news will change that. I’m guessing that for the most part people are waiting to be told by their favorite American news network that they need to be paying attention. Obviously a serious miscalculation for those who care about such things. (And who doesn’t?)

News networks have done a decent job of feeding us about 35% of the facts and news-bites that are important and pertinent to this impending global conflict, but none have dared to analyze the data and report what governments, think tanks and experts are surely already discussing behind closed doors. They’re still spending 99% of their airtime stupefyingly debating political nonsense about the American president or congress or senators they like or dislike. It’s beyond inane the way politics have turned into the favorite plaything of news-as-entertainment. It’s obliterated the way people view and think about world news.

Especially in the climate we’re in now. I’m nothing. A working class singer-songwriter. If someone like me can already start putting the pieces together and notice the world is getting damn close to the largest global conflict in world history, then surely journalists and news producers can. But they refuse to. Or better put they refuse to acknowledge they’re able or willing to. That’s a sure path to mutually agreed upon self destruction for both the media and the people and world they claim to serve.

The media and the government have been so preoccupied with their self professed war with Russia that they forgot the United States has already been in a Cold War with China for years. The potential for China, the second largest economy in the world and third largest super power, already at war with the United States and proud of it, to suddenly form an alliance with Russia, the second largest super power, was almost inevitable. But something we all hoped we’d never see.

That took place yesterday when we woke up to the news that China’s president Xi Jinping is heading off to Russia next week to sign new alliance agreements with Putin. This is the news that we have been dreading.

For context many people think the United States won World War II. What they forget is that Great Britain, France, the United States, along with Russia and China won World War II. So what is a World War III for the United States going to look like with those two superpowers fighting on the other side.

Lest we forget that the United States has a questionably spotty if not a downright bad record of being able to win wars on its own since the end of World War II. Korea, Vietnam, the Iran-Iraq war (which the United States initiated through funding Iraq with tens of billions of dollars and weapons while demanding that Iraq invade Iran until it realized that Iran was still winning after 5 years so they switched course and started secretly funding Iran with money and weapons (see Iran Contra Affair)).

Then came the US attacks of the Middle East in the 2000s where at one point the United States was engaged in a war with six different countries simultaneously but could not realistically make one victory speech about any of them even after 20 years because they couldn’t figure out how to win. Instead they let military personal and soldiers flounder for decades in the deserts not winning nor receiving the necessary support or escalated troop numbers they needed. Eventually the United States told the troops to come home, in Afghanistan for example, with their tail between their legs not having accomplished anything. Once again an American war that didn’t go as planned.

With Libya the US didn’t even bother to start a war. They just bombed the hell out of the country and killed its president and other leaders, which were the only thing keeping the country remotely stable, then abandoned the country and it’s people, leaving it to become one of the top training grounds for Islamic terrorism and ISIS in the world, which is what it is today. This was not winning a war. What it was careless and bad strategy.

These kind of global displays of reckless destruction and stupidity used to work for the United States. Or at least they were usually confident they’d get away with them and there’d be no serious repercussions. But things have changed over the last five to ten years.

Other nations around the earth have gotten tired of them. Traditionally they weren’t able to do anything to stop the US from its careless bullying and bomb dropping. Because they were too small and the United States has too large a military. But with newfound confidence from large economies and a thirst to break free from American global dominance once and for all, along with the advent of new anti-American policies by the second and third largest superpowers, Russia and China, other smaller nations are being heard and welcomed into this new multinational super-alliance. Fast. And the one thing that all of these nations share in common is a hatred of all things Western.

Consider for a moment how many hundreds of millions of people in the Middle East alone who have been dreaming about taking deadly revenge against the United States for the last 23 years. With both Iran and Saudi Arabia forming new alliances with Russia and China in the last few weeks it appears that vision is ever closer for them. The fact that the Saudis would even dare dream of doing such a thing when the US, for better or worse, created the country in the first place and has supported this family of viscous dictators for almost a hundred years is unthinkable. But they did it. Just a week ago. That’s not something the United States ever counted on happening.

Why else would the White House permit the prince of Saudi Arabia MBS to chop up the body of an American journalist, Jamal Kashogi, into tiny pieces and stuff it into a suitcase with no consequences? What would be a capital offense for anyone else is permissible for the Saudis. Because ostensibly we need need each other. But that’s officially changed over the last month. We may still need them. But they don’t need us anymore.

Obviously the worst of all possible outcomes would be if these countries decided to break the United States’ monopoly on oil and the petro dollar, something that’s been contemplated and announced by both and China through newswires several times this year already. The US dollar would plummet instantly. The biggest challenge the United States faces is that it has one of the weakest economies in the world now, very different than 20-25 years ago. They have the largest national debt in human history and a debt to GDP ratio well over 100%.

Normally when a country reaches a Debt/GDP ratio of 60%, they are forced into brutal austerity measures by other countries around the world and are never able to rebuild their economy again. This is because statistical models show that once over 60% it’s impossible for any country to rebuild from that. The debt/GDP ratio of the US now is almost double that. The only thing keeping the United States afloat at this point is it’s large multinational military presence i.e. fear, and it’s monopoly over oil and world currency — the latter would immediately end if the other large superpowers convinced the Saudis it was okay to break this longstanding agreement with the US. The question now is what’s stopping them with new alliances with Russia and China?

The United States can never borrow enough to get out of its debt even by a little because no one else has that kind of money to loan them. The US could theoretically gather every billionaire in the country and strong arm them into assisting it in lowering its debt or in helping it increase its purchasing power. But even if they took every penny every billionaire in America possesses, it wouldn’t make a dent in the 22 trillion dollars of debt the United States has on its books now.

And that’s yesterdays news compared to the latest implosion of small and midsized banks across America, a path that as worrying and traumatizing as it is for most of us to witness, is just getting started. This poses another threat for the United States in being able to fund a full scale war against the new Communist Alliance. Although one may consider that due to how profitable war is for many parties, securing funding shouldn’t be a problem.

At this point only a war can save the United States. A war they would need to win. It’s how they got out of their last debt crisis, the Great Depression. If it weren’t for World War II it’s not likely the United States would’ve come out of the Great Depression to become the largest superpower in the world.

What’s important to piece together is who will be purportedly fighting who. Who are the Allied Powers now? The new Communist Alliance we’re seeing come together now is China, Russia, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, and several smaller Eastern European nations. Will China invade Hong Kong and Taiwan soon and force them to fight in the conflict? Or will the United States come to their aid and start a war with China to defend these important economic houses? Does that imply they would fight with The Western Alliance?

Who is the Western Alliance? The United States, Canada, Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany, Australia, Japan (yes it’s ironic how all the tables have switched sides since the last Great War), the Scandinavian nations, Turkey will fall on that side since they’re so indebted to the US, et al. Think NATO. One can easily see a potential problem. This isn’t the early 20th century. None of these once grand superpowers are as strong or powerful as they once were. Only Germany still poses an authoritative threat militarily to anyone besides the U.S.

It’s important to note that the United States has over 1500 military bases and black ops sites all over planet earth at this time. The second largest mass is that of Russia who only have 640 sites in total. This gives the United States a healthy advantage strategically going in.

One of the later events of yesterday that appeared in the news to add fire to the flames of an impending world war was the announcement that Finland has now decided to join NATO, against numerous warnings against that action at this time by other NATO countries, and Turkey publicly stated they were willing to ratify it. Talk about poking the bear. Not even the United States was willing to consider this, nor the membership of Ukraine for that matter (despite their incessant pleading for it) because everybody knows that was the main reason given by Putin as to why he invaded Ukraine. He doesn’t want Mother Russia to be unfairly surrounded by NATO member countries on his border. Which makes perfect sense. It’s a justifiable concern. Which is why major western countries have been unwilling to let Finland or Ukraine join NATO. It would only fan the flames of an already angry Russia. The fact that this too was announced yesterday was another step toward the wrong direction if what we all want is world peace.

More later. This is just the first in what will surely be more notes about this deeply concerning issue.

Coming Down Off the Chocolate High

September 9, 2013
        In one of the strangest geo-political twists the United States has ever seen, the president of Syria, yes that Syria, manages to appear on American television this morning, BEFORE the president of the United States, to discuss the recent allegations (by the United States) that the government of Syria inadvertently used chemical weapons against its own people in the civil war the country is experiencing. I can tell you as an American that it was more than a bit surreal to see Syria’s president beat our own to the punch in messaging the American people. I’m not sure if Obama is high or stupid, but not since the Iran-Contra Affair has the world seen such a blunder as this plan to attack Syria threat has been. Not only has it confused the hell out of the American public but it’s sent the economic markets rocking back and forth on an almost daily basis. No one knows what the hell is going on, especially the president of the United States.

        In an even stranger twist still, just hours later, it was announced by the mainstream media that Russia has been brokering a deal with Syria and the United States for over a week to allow Syria to turn over its chemical weapons to a neutral third party in the international community. President Obama admitted in an interview today on CNN that he has been discussing this option with Russian president Putin since the G20 Summit. Which means that all this recent blustering by Secretary of State John Kerry has been what? A ruse? A bluff? Was the carpet pulled out from him at the last minute? The voting in the Senate and in Congress?

         Many in America and around the world would agree that there was nothing as purely evil AND fool-hearty at the same time in American history as the Bush-Cheney years. This was pure selfish war mongering in the traditional old-fashioned imperial style of pre WW II years. Compounded with Bush himself who never quite seemed to be aware of what he or his administration was actually doing, let alone the world at large. It was one of the first times the whole world got to see firsthand just how little the president of the United States actually does besides just being a charismatic figurehead. But the last few years of the Obama presidency have been starting to make look GW look not half as dumb and foolish, nor as mean spirited and evil as some have been led to believe prior to Obama’s ascendancy to the White House. Words like fumble, foible, farce, mockery, sham, gaffe, mess and more have all been used in recent days to describe the lone wolf president’s handling of this Syrian conflict; a conflict we must remember that has absolutely nothing to do with us.

        From the moment Obama inserted himself into this tragic affair by boisterously announcing his “red line”, the Syrian government’s civil war has become an American problem, with myriad prospects for future problems for us now that his proverbial foot has been placed in his mouth.Watching him attempt to pull it out over the last few weeks has been an agonizing affair for all. It isn’t easy to see the emperor parade through town without any clothes, even if you aren’t a fan.

        Which is where I, like many, find myself. Never being a fan of Obama, it isn’t as difficult for me it’s been for many; those who are liberal in the media are admittedly stumped, disappointed and confused. For me, besides the very basics — e.g. the excitement around the US electing its first half-African American president, I was not an Obama fan as much as just a non-Romney fan. from the start there were too many aspects of the man and his mysterious past that I just didn’t and don’t like. I couldn’t vote for him in 2008 because of this, so I gave my vote away. It was obvious he was going to win. I personally did not feel comfortable being a part of electing him. To be perfectly frank I can still remember seeing his face on several occasions and remarking to Princess Little Tree that “I don’t know why yet, but every time I look at him I feel this strange eerie intuitive flash inside that HE is actually the man who is going to be responsible for starting World War III or something like it; can’t explain it. But it’s there… He just doesn’t seem to be on the up and up.”

        Once it was revealed that this “man of peace” was secretly assassinating more people with drones than any previous president, or that more immigrants have been deported under his watch than any other prior administration — while he pretends to maintain a “pro-immigrant” stance to the unknowing masses, or that more people have been arrested and imprisoned for drug possession during his administration than any other — again while he himself benefits from a “mr. cool factor” for admitting to doing drugs in college, or that he was in the pocket of Monsanto and signed a deathly no-labeling of GMOs law behind the backs of his most ardent liberal followers, or that he’s been consistently and covertly bombing both Yemen and Pakistan for over a year — killing hundreds of innocent civilians in the process, OR that he was the first president to single handedly order an assassination of an American citizen for “threatening to commit terrorism”, it became very clear to me that, like most US presidential candidates, he was just as corrupt as he was charismatic. And therein lies the key to why it is ridiculous for so many of our friends around the country, men and women alike, to be so blindly gaga over him — as if he were some kind of “new brand, never before seen hero of mythic proportions, an enlightened leader who’s going to do things differently”.

        As compassionate liberty-leaning people, yes we must commend him for his stance on gay marriage equality. That has been a highly transformative shift in our culture in a very positive direction. But besides that, the high is wearing off. In light of this new Syria debacle, combined with last year’s Libya debacle (which, let’s face it, he got away with just through being very crafty and charismatic), I am sadly starting to fear that Barack Obama may turn out to be one of the worst things we as a nation have ever done (besides Vietnam, Iraq, Iran, etc… Obviously that’s a big list….) It is starting to appear as though we sacrificed experience boldness intelligence and skill for “fulfilling America’s dormant MLK Dream”. And to be sure that WAS a great achievement in and of itself. I’m glad we did it, glad we were capable of it finally, glad I saw it transpire in my lifetime. I am sure in and of itself it has and is going to change tens of millions of lives around the world for decades to come: in increasing racial equality and tolerance, in helping lead by example on that front and in helping to bolster the self opinion of so-called minorities worldwide, but especially in America. No one can ever again utter the words “Yeah but we’ll never elect a black president…” Those days are now gone once and for all. So good on us for that.

        BUT… and this is a BIG but… what will be the cost of this smaller picture achievement in the big picture? How much worse is it going to get? How many more foibles or blatant acts of deception will we be forced to endure for this accomplishment? As in what’s next? Has the man (and his entire administration to be fair) no clue what he’s messing around with here? Has his head just become so big that he forgot that we need to actually do our homework in order to make those straight As? Or is it simply the blind power that corrupts absolutely when one notices how big their stockpile of missiles is? This is after all Syria we are talking about here. The heart of the Middle East and the dread of every sane person’s worst nightmares when it comes to radical extremist terrorism. This is THE Damascus, the oldest continuous city on planet earth and coincidentally the legendary Damascus of numerous World War III prophecies. Besides Iran? Russia? China? Not to mention the Egypt/Palestine/Israel/Jordan consequences inherently attached at the hip of it all.

        The relative ease and casual stance he seems to be taking when talking about our country entering into military conflict with the second two largest countries on earth is alarming. He now speaks and acts exactly like many presidents who came before him, with the same kind of blind hubris and arrogance as if he truly believed that the United States divinely inherited the title of “world’s greatest ruling empire” and has the right to bark commands and ultimatums at anyone it damn well pleases just because it has the biggest ego and pile of weapons. We can all more than vaguely remember the Obama of just a few short years ago stating unequivocally that he did NOT adhere to this ideology and that he would do his best to attempt to fix our country’s fouled reputation because of such misguided ideas. Where is THAT Barack Obama?

        Allegedly, at least according to his words and actions until today, he plans on going all in against ALL of them, regardless of their protests and none to subtle suggestions that we dare not tread in those waters. And at the same time no less? It’s one thing to invade a little country like Grenada, or Iraq when you have a coalition of larger nations on your side. It’s another thing entirely to butt heads directly with the bloody four horsemen of the apocalypse. Especially when HE won’t actually be doing any fighting. Like Bush before him, Obama hasn’t and won’t see any action on the field if we were to enter yet another bloody military conflict. While he’s playing basketball, living breathing American men and women will be doing the fighting. And that’s precisely the reason why the man was elected in the first place, i.e. to get us out of those kinds of scenarios once and for all. Lest we forget that while Senator John McCain has now become Obama’s main and nearly only supporter in this new fantasy, it was HE who Obama ran against in his first presidential election, his win based in large part on the promise that “I’m not going to give you four more years of Bush”.
       
        We also need to remember that this week just happens to mark the one year anniversary of the attack on our embassies in Benghazi, Libya. This is still a painful thorn in the side of every American citizen who care about each other. In this case, four actual American’s were actually killed. We were attacked. As in “perhaps we should take some kind of defensive military action” attacked, in our own home-base and territory. That issue was just covered up and brushed aside as if it never happened. Never before have we seen an administration make so little out of something so big before. But here we are being led to believe that “Syria poses a major threat to our national security” according to the president. Whereas Libya was…. what? Ironically, this afternoon during his interview on CNN, Obama told Wolf Blitzer that “it is inconceivable and just not credible that Assaad’s government can pose any real threat to the United States militarily.” So then WHY exactly are we going to attack them?

        Another disturbing element of this farce has been Kerry’s and Obama’s consistent assertions that “this isn’t just we here in the United States who are upset about Syria’s use of chemical weapons and who feel the need to take action against the Assaad government”. The problem with these statements is that so far it IS just the United States who is claiming that they need to attack Syria. It’s not like we’re standing a long line to get our punch in. For whatever reason, the U.S. government feels a sudden and desperate need to attack the Syrian government. As is always the case in geo-political events of this magnitude, we won’t find out the real reasons for this new so-called Syrian crisis for months or even years when it comes out in the back pages of newspapers or in future New York Times Bestsellers. By then Obama will be a former president and lo and behold we will discover that the details of the situation are far different than what we are currently being told. The Obama White House is counting on that fact. One hopes that for once we discover the true reasons for this before years have passed. We deserve it. The people who voted for him deserve it.

         Of course, we aren’t even talking about the economy yet… I have found it very disturbing that Mort Zuckerman, the billionaire tycoon publisher and economy expert, has stated on many occasions that he’s a “life long voting democrat” who has visited the White House numerous times on the president’s invitation to try to talk sense to the Obama administration about the economy and how to handle it and according to him “they just won’t listen; I fear for the country if they continue down this path and make the same mistakes they’ve been making” he has stated. And the man is Jewish. Jews don’t vote Republican traditionally. But he just doesn’t see how the economy is going to turn around if the Obama administration doesn’t start making more fiscally intelligent decisions. This is a frightening idea, a Jewish democrat saying he can’t in good conscience vote for a president he was in love with four years prior because his fiscal policies don’t make common sense.

        There’s more of course. Much of which we’ve already discussed here in the past and much that we’ve never mentioned. (Sandy Hook is one such “unmentionable”…) But what still puzzles me the most about all this is now that the curtain has been pulled back regarding so many aspects of the great and powerful O, and now that he has flip-flopped on the major issue that distinguished him from his opponents — unilaterally and militarily attacking other sovereign nations who have not attacked nor even threatened us, HOW on earth can people still feel so ra-ra about the man or continue to defend and commend him? What exactly are people waiting for? What do they need to see before they come back down to earth and start seeing him as he really is? Yes, he’s our first black president and that’s amazing. Sure he’s a cool and good looking guy who can give one hell of a speech and that feels good after eight years of bumbling Bush and the dark heart of Dick Cheney clogged our airwaves. But it is past time for us to stop the hero worship and start rolling up our sleeves and taking to the streets the same way we would if it WERE Bush/Cheney planning an attack like this. Many already are. And that’s what makes America such an incredibly admirable country. And with 59% of the people overtly against any kind of military action towards Syria, that speaks volumes about the heart and mind of our country. Let us hope that we continue to grow as we apparently have and that we can somehow help our president do so with us.
