jeffery sachs is optimistic about the brics and their future in the face of the evil empire: the usa;

The recent BRICS Summit in Kazan, Russia should mark the end of the Neocon delusions encapsulated in the subtitle of Zbigniew Brzezinski’s 1997 book, The Global Chessboard: American Primacy and its Geostrategic Imperatives. Since the 1990s, the goal of American foreign policy has been “primacy,” aka global hegemony. The U.S. methods of choice have been wars, regime change operations, and unilateral coercive measures (economic sanctions). Kazan brought together 35 countries with more than half the world population that reject the U.S. bullying and that are not cowed by U.S. claims of hegemony.

In the Kazan Declaration, the countries underscored “the emergence of new centres of power, policy decision-making and economic growth, which can pave the way for a more equitable, just, democratic and balanced multipolar world order.”

They emphasized “the need to adapt the current architecture of international relations to better reflect the contemporary realities,” while declaring their “commitment to multilateralism and upholding the international law, including the Purposes and Principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations (UN) as its indispensable cornerstone.” They took particular aim at the sanctions imposed by the U.S. and its allies, holding that “Such measures undermine the UN Charter, the multilateral trading system, the sustainable development and environmental agreements.”

Time has run out on the neocon delusions, and the U.S. wars of choice.

The neocon quest for global hegemony has deep historical roots in America’s belief in its exceptionalism. In 1630, John Winthrop invoked the Gospels in describing the Massachusetts Bay Colony as a “City on the Hill,” declaring grandiosely that “The eyes of all people are upon us.” In the 19th century, America was guided by Manifest Destiny, to conquer North America by displacing or exterminating the native peoples. In the course of World War II, Americans embraced the idea of the “American Century,” that after the war the U.S. would lead the world.........more.......

 martin armstrong muses about the impending 'selection' results;

Socrates shows that a Harris victory would result in virtually World War III very fast. Putin knows his adversaries, and to placate his own Neocons, he would probably launch an all-out war to eliminate Ukraine, which he has not done. His Neocons have criticized him that he should have invaded Ukraine as the USA did to Iraq, and the war would have been over in 6 weeks.

They have been screaming this is a war with NATO from the start – not Ukraine. That means the destruction of Kiev. Our computer goes flat-line on Ukraine, which seems to suggest that they will be wiped off the face of the earth. Zelensky is just lining his pockets and expects a particular flight to Miami when Ukraine loses. The Ukrainian people are fools to allow this traitor to take orders as Hezbollah does from Iran..........more.......

 it takes a lot to piss off the amish;

As Pennsylvania’s polls near closing, an unexpected twist has emerged: a massive mobilization of Amish voters. Known for their separation from mainstream society and reliance on traditional values, such as horse-and-buggy transportation (arguably more ‘green’ than EVs), these folks, traditionally not big participators in US politics, have been out in force at PA polling stations, voting for former President Trump after Biden-Harris’ big gov’t waged war on the community.

Let’s begin with the context. Earlier this year, the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture and big government Democrats targeted a small Amish farmer in Lancaster over compliance issues. This apparently infuriated the Amish community that many of them registered to vote and voted red in the last several days..........more........

 election day hopes from larry johnson;

It is 1900 hours eastern time zone and some polls are starting to close. I will say it up front — if Trump does not prevail tonight then there is skullduggery afoot. Let me explain why. Unlike 2020, Trump has garnered the endorsements and active support of people with significant social media influence — e.g., Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, Tucker Carlson, Tulsi Gabbard, Vivek Ramaswamy and Bill Ackman (a Wall Street billionaire who normally votes Democrat). Trump has made more effective use of social media than Kamala Harris, who has relied on the legacy media to get her message across.

Then there is the behavior of DC merchants — they boarded up their store fronts yesterday and today anticipating rioting. If Kamala was expected to win, they would not be taking this step because Trump does not have a legion of supporters in DC and the surrounding suburbs who are going to engage in violence if their man does not win. Kamala has the Antifa crowd and they are expected to lash out.

We have had other indicators that the narrative was not going well for Kamala. Following her debate with Donald Trump, Saturday Night Live (SNL) did two straight weeks of opening skits that skewered Kamala. They never did that to Biden. It is going to be an interesting night in America.

The very future of this country is at stake. I don’t write that lightly nor am I a rabid Trump supporter. Trump has many flaws and shortcomings but, when it comes to taking the country to war, he is cautious. He learned the hard way during the final days of his administration that the military disobeyed orders to withdraw from Syria and to prepare for leaving Afghanistan in an orderly manner. He is going to make damn sure that the people he installs at the Pentagon will follow lawful orders. If Trump wins, we will see a raft of political appointees that are novel and not beholden to the Deep State. What happens if Tulsi Gabbard is nominated to be Secretary of Defense? Vivek Ramaswamy as Secretary of Transportation? Those possibilities are some of the reasons the media and Washington elite are freaking out.

Meanwhile, Bibi Netanyahu fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant and replaced him with Israel Katz. Unlike Gallant, who commanded a division during his military career and has some understanding of strategic thinking, Katz only served as a frontline soldier. That is a far cry from commanding a division or an army. Over the last year, Gallant butted heads with Bibi and reportedly argued against going into southern Lebanon. With Gallant out of the way there is no one in Netanyahu’s war cabinet with the experience and backbone to challenge his crazy, dangerous combat operations.

Gallant was not an ardent Zionist. While he agreed with Netanyahu in getting rid of the Palestinians, he also understood that there were limits to Israel’s ability to fight a five-front war. Gallant wanted a more focused approach. With him out of the way, I expect that Netanyahu will embark on some dangerous, counterproductive military operations that will fail and will create pressure in Israel to go nuclear. I hope I am wrong............https://sonar21.com/trump-should-win-and-netanyahu-doubles-down-on-stupid/
