What our media overlooked this week
Our media ignore 90% of the important happenings because they do not fit The Narrative. If they can ignore Joe Biden’s obvious dementia–a known problem since 2012–they can certainly ignore this:
“The Pentagon believes that if all the stipulated restrictions related to Huawei were met, it would disrupt the Pentagon’s ability to purchase the vast quantities of medical supplies, drugs, clothing and other types of logistical support the military relies on,” Bloomberg reported. Just 12% of US firms have removed their Huawei gear to date.
BRICS, which grows 80% of the world’s exported grain, formed the BRICS Grain Exchange this week. They will trade with each other in their own currencies, bypassing Cargill, ADM and Bunge and the US dollar.
The BRICS Media Network, serving 6 billion people in 138 countries, is coming along nicely. Studios are equipped, personnel trained, uplinks established, journalists trained..
Expect bodies like BRICS, SCO, EEEU and AAIB to consolidate/cooperate in massive trade/currency blocs. Thailand is already belongs to most of them.
The multicultural society is ‘bullshit,’ as my mother insisted. Look at the Australian Prime Minister’s hilarious reaction to the threat of a Muslim bloc vote. His slimebag predecessors courted the Catholic vote in the 1950s and their successors now court the Crackpot Christian Zionist vote. The pursuit of the uneducable by the unspeakable.
As usual, China accomplished more last week than the West will accomplish this year:
80 billion parcels were couriered in H1 and the service sector grew 16%
350,000 tonnes of green aviation fuel produced annually from one project.
The ASEAN Rail Express now connects Malaysia, Thailand, Laos and China.
The US pays $1.5 billion for Ukraine’s banned Chinese drones
Milu deer, once considered extinct, now thrive.
China has 60% of the world’s greenhouses and they cover 820 hectares. Tibetans enjoy locally grown fresh fruit and vegetables year-round.
The 35-mile, 65 mph, Shenzhen-Zhongshan Cross-sea Link, featuring two bridges, two artificial islands and an underwater tunnel, opened Thursday. It’s part of the GBA – Hong Kong, Macau and nine cities in Guangdong – which cover 56,000 hectares and generate the same GDP as Italy’s: $2 trillion.
Putin, Xi and Trump share similar problems–borders, corruption, economy–and know the limitations on their power, but Trump has to deal with a corrupt FBI and Justice Department, which both Xi and Putin have already addressed. The trio appear to have agreed to cooperate while maintaining face-saving rhetoric. Today, Putin praised Trump’s peace plan, which is Xi’s peace plan. The Trumps are fans of Putin and in awe of Xi.
Finally, since real MENA news is scarce, here today’s genocide update:
