The strategic developments of the past few weeks

InternationalThe strategic developments of the past few weeks
Some time ago I told you we live in very exciting times. About 1 ½ months ago, China and Russia signed historic agreements to ensure the existence of the nation-state as the best political method of how different societies are governed. On the surface the agreements were mostly of an economic nature, but the essence of the one-trillion-dollar investments in infrastructure and modern technology will decide if the nation-state continues to exist in the context of the current global financial/economic breakdown crisis.
  
The reaction to the historic China-Russia deal came swiftly last Thursday and Friday, November 26  and November 27, when Queen Elizabeth II, head of the 54-nation British Commonwealth (Rwanda just admitted), delivered the keynote address in which she declared that now was the moment of opportunity for the British Commonwealth to step forward and take leadership over the planet called earth. Hours before her speech, Dubai announced that, after consultation with Buckingham Palace and No. 10 Downing Street, they had declared a sovereign default of their grand tourism/real estate project. The British press is full of which nation-states will be the next sovereign defaulters. The defaults of the nation-states will cause them to lose their sovereignty and to disintegrate.
    
The key in Her Majesty’s speech was the demand that the British Commonwealth take the lead and make sure that at the December 6 to 18th Copenhagen conference, an international legally binding agreement was essential. On November 28 the leaders at the Port of Spain British Commonwealth meeting all signed a 14- point “Port of Spain Climate Change Consensus.” Point 6 distorts the truth, and states that science indicates that global temperatures have risen because of a manmade increase of carbon and other greenhouse emissions. Point 7 calls for a legally binding agreement. Point 9 calls for a transition to low-emission economies based on clean, affordable and renewable energy sources. Point 11 calls for a reduction of global temperature to no more than 2 degrees above pre-industrial levels, and for an early peaking year for global emissions. Plus, developing countries should take action to achieve a substantial deviation from business-as-usual emissions. Point 12 acknowledges the role of the private market and the market for carbon trading. Point 13 calls for an immediate $10 billion fund to bribe the poor countries to sign the agreement, and to give them money, rising every year until it reaches some $10 billion per year by 2012. The last point, number 14, calls for a global government to manage the financial and technological support, and calls for a global government to monitor and force countries to comply with the new Copenhagen agreement.
           
But on the same November 28 in Beijing, China, according to the Times of India, China, India, South Africa, Brazil and the chair of the G-7, signed what is called the “BASIC Agreement” to state that they will walk out of the Copenhagen conference if the rich countries insist on: 1. Legally binding emission targets; 2. The use of climate change as a trade barrier; 3. Unsupported mitigation actions; and 4. International reporting, measuring and verification of mitigation or emissions. Both India and China, according to the London Telegraph, have stated that they will not tolerate any international satellites to spy on their countries.
           
The war is now joined to decide if humankind will institute on themselves a shock de-industrialization and non-elected dictatorial global government which will lead to genocide and population reduction from 6.8 billion to 2 billion by 2012, or we will have a new Renaissance with true sovereign nation-states and a guaranteed high standard of living based on the full industrialization of all nation-states, leading to the pursuit of happiness for all mankind, not just the elites.
   
It seems Belize, without telling its citizens, has decided to go voluntary with globalization, depopulation, a dying monetary system, non-industrialization, permanent poverty of a majority of its citizens and crime as a permanent way of life.
