PLANET IN TURMOIL PART TWO

AFRICA

In 1987, the President of Sahel African nation Burkina Faso, Thomas Sankara, was assassinated by a friend and colleague; in a coup funded and supported by France and the US.

Sankara was probably the most gifted and intelligent leader to emerge in Africa since Patrice Lumumba of Congo, also assassinated by the CIA. Sankara ended the political practice of accumulating luxuries and privilege and, although a brilliant military officer, he and his officers worked in the fields with the villagers to plant two million trees to reverse encroaching Saharan desertification and he also built many freshwater reservoirs. He enhanced education and literacy and improved nutritional intake. To the US Government, this made him the next best thing to a terrorist

More recently, a philosophical disciple of Sankara’s, Ibrahim Traore, also became President of Burkina Faso and the colonial/imperialist west immediately saw him as an even bigger threat than Lumumba, Ghaddafi, or Sankara, and he was the subject of some 18 assassination attempts.

Nevertheless, Traore survived, which inspired Russian President Vladimir Putin to award him a permanent specialist military Security Guard to prevent further attempts. Although western leaders have attempted to treat Traore as a black upstart who does not know his place, Ibrahim has walked away from such encounters with dignity intact and his adversaries humbled.

He so impressed new American Pope Leo that he quoted the Gospel of John in paraphrased recognition of the Sankara/Traore mantra of leading the nation shoulder-to-shoulder with its citizens (John: “No leader is above those they serve”).

In both the Islamic and Catholic regions of Africa, this was a powerful coup by the new Pope, winning him instant recognition and loyalty across not just the World of Catholicism, but to millions of agnostic and atheistic admirers of the new African democracy. Traore’s charisma has drawn together, not only the other Sahal Nations (Niger, Mali, and Ghana) but also Namibia and Ivory Coast, into a national sovereignty alliance; which now includes 20% of Africa’s 54 nations.

This has proved momentous. The Traore phenomenon has inspired recognition and emulation from Malaysia, Indonesia, PNG, and Latin America. He also has a large following in Australia and NZ. Observers of vision have already perceived an eventual formalization of this wider southern hemispherical alliance-barricade against Zionist-Western colonialism, especially that of the ubiquitous USA.

Informal discussions have progressed for some months now, with the working name of Africa/South Asia-Pacific/Latin America (ASAPLA). It is hoped by pro-democracy elements that this will eventually include Australia and New Zealand. But this must be preceded by expulsion of the US military and media, and adoption of a defense policy of Armed Neutrality.

The one nation excluded from the potential alliance is India. Narendra Modi was the Chief Minister who oversighted the 2002 Hindu extremist Gujarat riots in which Muslim women were mass-raped and hundreds of villagers murdered. Modi intimidated victims, preventing access to justice from the Courts until the national Judiciary, embarrassed by the global focus on such murderous corruption, ordered the trials be held in Mumbai, beyond Modi’s reach.

Although the murderers were convicted and imprisoned, they were very recently set free. Why, we might ask? Consensus has it that this was due to Modi’s influence. This need explaining because the mainstream media ignores Modi’s duplicitousness.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is a Hindu nationalist extremist who is a deep admirer of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, wishing to emulate Israel and the IDF by wiping out all Muslims.

Modi is widely regarded as Bibi Netanyahu’s best friend, and the two have been seen prancing arm-in-arm at the seaside like lovestruck teenage gay lovers. For at least two decades, India has used Israeli intelligence services and bought Israeli weapons. India is Israel’s strongest supporter; which has not gone unnoticed by Islamic Malaysia, Pakistan, and Indonesia; nor by China; which entered decisively to expose India in the recent farcical claim of attack by Pakistan in Kashmir.

India’s Adani, a mining partner of Australia’s, is heavily involved in the Gaza Genocide. It is now only a matter of time before BRICS members demand India’s monitored abandonment of support for Israel; or it will face expulsion from BRICS. This will not be favoured by Russia or China so we should be aware of deep-state liaison and diplomacy, but which will be entirely invisible from the surface. Australian politicians can be trusted to make all the wrong moves and further antagonize our neighbours.

Australia needs to be on the right side of the genocide fence because we will soon be alone in the Indo-Pacific, and friendless. Backing the dying American-Israeli Empire is going to cost us dearly.

UKRAINE

The Trump rhetoric about accessing resources in Ukraine is wildly unrealistic, but typical of a man with no knowledge of history or geopolitics.

We should realise that Trump did not become President because of outstanding abilities, but because he had excellent Zionist-graded qualifications: (1) Blackmailed; (2) Ignorant; (3) Narcissist; (4) psychopathic; (5) devoid of empathy or conscience.

Russia has reclaimed those parts of Ukraine that previously were Russian, at the urgent request of the Russian-speaking inhabitants, 14,000 of whom had been killed by Azov Nazi forces. The Russian reclamation was regarded as permanent by April 2024, which is when independent military analysts declared that Putin had won, and won decisively.

White House ping-pong posturing that the war has all but been won by NATO/Ukraine forces reflects the stubborn refusal of many Americans to recognise that the US military is a spent force, as are those of UK, France, and Germany. Russia, on the other hand, is fully armed and industrialized. However, an air of unreality hovers over the remaining Ukrainian territory provoking idle media chatter about establishment of a possible buffer zone between Russian and Ukrainian forces. This is pure fantasy.

Russia has learned well, as has the rest of the world during the past few weeks, that the only predictable characteristic of the US is treachery; and this predilection will be used quite pragmatically by Russia to justify a demilitarized zone (DMZ) around the entire Russia/Ukraine border. My prediction, for what it is worth, is that Lavrov will negotiate a 500K wide DMZ, a distance which can then become a bargaining chip for lateral reduction in exchange for national de-weaponization and an absolute ban on NATO entry or status.

In the meantime, what America comically describes as diplomacy will target resource-rich zones within remaining Ukraine. Trump and his administration are oblivious to the historical reality that much of Ukraine belongs to other nations. It is difficult to understand how they can be unaware of this because Poland and Hungary have made no secret of their intentions to reclaim former territories the moment peace is declared.

I have no evidence of conceivable claims by the other four nations but we must accept that Belarus, Slovakia, Rumania, and Moldavia may do likewise. This will leave an unclaimed pile of rubble, tastefully decorated with the still-bleeding corpse of Volodymir Zelensky, killed in reprisal by his own troops, a million of whom are dead. By some counts, 1.5 million.

TARIFFS

The economics I studied in the early 1960s does not relate in any way to university degree content today.

It seems to me, that the content of every university course changed radically from 1970 onwards. For example, prior to this, a school teacher learned much about organic learning thresholds in children, how to recognise these as they emerge, and how to harness this window of intense interest to facilitate and expedite learning in children. This is because a child at this milestone level with develop the appropriate skill within hours, which only days or weeks later may take months to develop, and never to the same advanced degree.

The rest of the course consisted of teaching skills. Today, if I talk to school teachers, they have no idea what I am talking about. Instead, they learned the importance of severing the intergenerational transfer of values; those of previous generations now decreed obsolete and violating human rights.

The subject of history likewise. Students today learn how the events I lived through, and was very much a part of, never happened. New events that I know damn well never happened, because I was there, have replaced actual history.

I won’t labour the point, but economics met the same fate.

This is especially relevant now that Donald Trump, who only recently discovered tariffs, is telling the world that these are taxes on the products of other nations. He gets dollar signs in his eyes at this notion and it also appeals to him, serving as a punishment inflicted on countries that displease him. Trump has never read a book in his life, or even a report which means the hundreds of briefs handed to him have never been read. As a result, the entire planet has been told it must pay tariffs if it wants to be released from the naughty corner.

To complicate the issue, academic economists have criticised Trump, applying their own revisionist concept of tariffs, which they oppose on the grounds of free trade ideology. This conflict must be settled because Australia must grasp the concept if it is ever to reindustrialise and reestablish independence and national sovereignty.

Opposition to tariffs is sleight-of-hand. I won't go into the management of tariffs, per se, right now, but if anyone talks to people in their over sixties in Australia they will learn that from 1948 to 1975, Australia was the most prosperous and egalitarian nation on earth. This was achieved by applying three elements:

(1) Tariffs protected manufacturing and food production from UNFAIR competition from slave labour products from overseas. This protected full time jobs, which prevented poverty.

(2) Trade unions ensured the workers got their fair share of profitability. Thus, from 1950 onwards, there were few rich and no poor. This explains the 'egalitarian' factor and Australia's bell-curve middleclass. This is no exaggeration. Demographers from other countries visited this country just to confirm that pretty much everybody was part of the massive and prosperous middle class.

(3) Using the Commonwealth People's Bank: private development capital and home loans were accessed at very low interest rates. Moreover, broad geographical development was achieved with the Snowy River Scheme, the largest civil engineering project in the world at the time, which brought water and electricity across a wide region of Australia. The capital for this was measured as Social Credit, which interprets national natural and human resources as collateral for development. Thus, this massive scheme, completed in 1974, incurred not one cent of foreign debt.

The Zionist investment bankers were furious; aware that other nations would soon emulate Australia and establish global prosperity while the investment bankers went broke. Thus, the following year, the CIA and MI6 delivered a coup d'etat in Australia and took over the country. Because one of the architects of this was Rupert Murdoch, his media monopoly ensured few Australians had any idea what happened. In two decades, this vibrant economy was destroyed, poverty rose to 60%, and 10% are homeless. For fifty years, Australia has been the US's vassal state.

Confusion about tariffs was triggered by Trump’s view that these are a tax. This is a secondary aspect and to focus on the tax defeats the purpose, which is to discourage the entry of unfairly-priced goods, which would undercut local manufacturing and food production, forcing the close down of factories and farms. Ideally, no such products would enter the country at all, so the sole function of the tariff level was to discourage import except as an occasional luxury item for the very rich, which in Australia was only a few dozen people until Paul Keating dutifully applied the Zionist banker’s free trade, privatisation, and deregulation. Thus, industry and family farms crashed and the rich got richer and the poor discovered the joys of poverty.

Trump’s clown act has triggered furious questions about actual history, past economic policies, reserve banks, methods of taxation, causes of poverty, and of course, tariffs. Hence this article.

To sign off, I will pose a question about the policy of Social Credit. Yes, it terrified the Zionist globalist investment bankers, hence the coup to end this in Australia. But this was the second time that bankers destroyed a nation for adopting Social Credit. Your homework is to identify the first such instance.
