on the heels of the B3W, EU puts her boots-and-all down...

eu.eu.

The European Union unveiled what it is touting as an “alternative” to China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Called the “Global Gateway,” the EU claims it will deliver better alternatives consisting of “high standards, good governance, and transparency,” in a rollout almost indistinguishable from the vague and poorly received US “Build Back Better World” (B3W) proposal.

US government-funded Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL) would claim in its article, “Global Gateway: Can The EU’s Giant Infrastructure Plan Rival China’s Belt And Road?,” that:

 

…the initiative will focus on building projects like fiber-optic cables, transport corridors, and “clean-power transmission lines” that will offer “attractive investment and business-friendly trading conditions, regulatory convergence, [standardization], supply-chain integration, and financial services.”

 

Like the US B3W, no specific real-world projects were mentioned, wording was kept extremely vague, and much of the rollout in the media consisted instead of trying to attack and undermine China’s BRI. In fact, that is really all both the US’ B3W and now the EU’s “Global Gateway” are, smokescreens behind which the West will attempt to turn the public in each partner nation of China’s against both China and the BRI.

Ironically, throughout articles about the EU’s “Global Gateway,” photos of China’s BRI were used to show tangible examples of the vague, intangible proposals included within the Global Gateway.

The West’s Real “Alternative” is to Attack & Destroy

The RFE/RL article also claims:

 

The BRI has also been undercut in recent years by questions regarding the commercial value of many of its projects, growing worries over murky lending practices, and concerns over it being a vehicle for Chinese control.

 

Yet these “questions” are not the result of genuine criticism from among China’s partner nations. Instead, they’re being asked by US-sponsored opposition in nations working with China, deliberately attempting to block projects through a combination of political and in some cases, even armed attacks. The RFE/RL article cites Hungary as an example of the “lack of transparency” involved in China’s BRI projects – yet when one reads another RFE/RL article about Hungary’s relationship with China specifically, supposedly exposing the shortfalls of Hungary’s growing ties with China – it is based entirely on claims made by US-backed opposition figures and US-funded media platforms.

Hungarian opposition leader Marki-Zay is mentioned, a politician who is widely promoted across all US-funded media platforms in Eastern Europe including one called, “Balkan Investigative Reporting Network,” created and funded by the US National Endowment for Democracy (NED).

In Southeast Asia, political opposition groups led by US-backed billionaire Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit have protested in the streets since 2019 attacking Thailand-China relations, openly demanding projects like the Thai-China high-speed railway be canceled in favor of US-based “hyperloop” technology still in the prototyping phase, and even attacking and opposing Chinese-made vaccines during the COVID-19 crisis, Bloomberg would report.

It is US-backed opposition figures and US government-funded media operating in nations like Hungary in Eastern Europe, across Latin America, throughout Africa, and in Asia, who stand in opposition of China’s BRI. Little actual evidence exists to support otherwise empty claims made against Chinese projects and no viable alternatives are ever provided as was clearly the case regarding Thailand.

In nations like Pakistan and Myanmar, US-backed opposition groups including Baluchistan separatists in southwest Pakistan and militants fighting the central government across Myanmar, Chinese investments, Chinese-built infrastructure, and even Chinese citizens themselves have come under armed attack.

Despite the torrent of US-sponsored opposition to China’s BRI and empty promises made during the rollout of both B3W and now the “Global Gateway,” nations around the world continue eagerly working with China.

Even US state media like Voice of America in its article, “US Sidelined by Chinese Influence Campaign in Africa,” notes how eager the world is to do business with China, especially in Africa.

The article admits that most US money goes into intangible “global health programs, disease eradication and humanitarian assistance,” with mostly intangible results. What the article does not mention is that most of these otherwise intangible programs are cover for political interference and control over African states.

The US and its EU allies have also left a military footprint on Africa. The 2011 war on Libya alone had major consequences for the continent, with the US deliberately dividing and destroying one of the most developed nations in Africa. The US and its European partners including France have a heavy military presence across the continent.

The US refuses to even disclose where all of its troops are deployed across the African continent, while France admittedly has forces in Mali, Chad, Mauritania, Niger, and Burkina Faso, according to the BBC.

In contrast, China is involved in building tangible infrastructure, something the US is mostly uninvolved in. Voice of America’s above mentioned article admits China’s expertise in building transportation and telecommunication projects.

In Kenya, it was China – not the West – who upgraded and expanded rail lines helping move goods and people across the country from ports in Mombasa to the capital Nairobi and beyond.

China is building for Africa infrastructure the developed Western world takes for granted – and infrastructure the West only built in places like Africa and Asia to facilitate the extraction of wealth and the movement of troops while maintaining their colonies. The notion of assisting developing nations in the building of infrastructure and strong, independent economies is an antithesis to Western foreign policy objectives which is to inhibit competition not only between themselves and powerful nations like Russia and China, but also between themselves and the collective developing world.

China’s infrastructure drive directly jeopardizes the West’s current “international order” under which Western hegemony is maintained by denying nations infrastructure, stability, and prosperity. This is why the United State through its “Build Back Better World” and now the EU through its “Global Gateway” are posturing as if they plan on competing with China’s Belt and Road Initiative, but upon reading the fine print, are clearly planning to simply roll it back and maintain the status quo.

Only time will tell if the US and the EU – behind their smokescreen of “competition” – can divide and destroy the developing world faster than China can prop it up.

"deplatforming the possible truth"...

 

Going Super-Viral and an Important Rumble Video BY 

 

Just after I published my first long article on the likely origins of the Covid outbreak in April 2020, our alternative media website was suddenly deplatformed, being banned from Facebook and with all our pages completely deranked by Google. For almost a decade, my article The Myth of Hispanic Crimehad regularly been ranked #2 of some 200 million Google search results on that topic, but it now suddenly disappeared from the public discussion, a development that deeply rankled me.

Being blocked by the two primary gatekeepers of the global Internet has obviously had a serious impact upon our ability to reach potential readers, especially new ones. Nonetheless, our articles do still occasionally strike a spark and go viral, racking up many tens of thousands of pageviews, an encouraging situation. But the massive current media propaganda-bubble promoting an imminent Russian invasion of Ukraine, which seems to be a ridiculous hoax, has apparently shifted that landscape, creating a huge demand for contrary perspectives.

Last weekend I published Mike Whitney’s piece arguing that the motive behind the sudden war-hysteria was actually to prevent the opening of the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline between Russia and Germany, which would have fostered their mutually-beneficial economic cooperation. Such peaceful Eurasian integration might be viewed as a major geopolitical threat by some American strategists, who thereby provoked the sudden war-scare.

The article seemed a good, solid presentation of an important but under-reported topic, and I thought it would do well given the relevance of the issue. Instead, to my total amazement, our small website soon began receiving our most remarkable gusher of traffic ever for a single article, with a large fraction of the readership coming from overseas, especially South Asia.

Over the last few days, that incisive analysis of the Ukraine Crisis has attracted nearly a half-million pageviews, possibly rivaling the readership of many of the concurrent offerings of the New York Times or the Economist.

It appears that nature abhors an informational vacuum and when nearly our entire Western media begins spouting what seems to be total nonsense on a looming war with nuclear-armed Russia, readers desperately turn to other sources, especially those willing to provide “Interesting, Important, and Controversial Perspectives Largely Excluded from the American Mainstream Media.”

While I have absolutely no idea why lightning suddenly struck this particular article, the possibility of such a fortuitous development must surely inspire most contributors to this publication, not least including myself.

 

Meanwhile, I have been continuing my own efforts to bring attention to the strong perhaps even overwhelming evidence that the global Covid outbreak was due to an American biowarfare attack against China (and Iran).

The articles in my Covid/Biowarfare series have received substantial attention, over the last two years accumulating a total of more than 400,000 pageviews. But the careful analysis I have presented has been entirely in written form, greatly restricting its potential audience in our post-literate culture, and others have recently persuaded me that videos and podcasts were a much more effective means of distributing my crucial information.

As part of my new effort, Kevin Barrett of Truth Jihad just interviewed me on his video podcast, incorporating some of the most telling evidence in his excellent presentation, and I would highly recommend the resulting 15 minute Rumble video that he released yesterday, which has already accumulated over 9,000 views:

 

I believe that if and when Americans and other Westerners begin to digest the reality that the massive deaths and disruption of the global Covid outbreak were very likely the result of a biowarfare attack by rogue elements of our own Deep State, the American ruling political regime will probably fall.

So all those who seek the overthrow of our decrepit and disastrously decaying System—for whatever varied reasons—should focus on this extremely weak link, a catastrophe a thousand times greater than the Chernobyl nuclear disaster that helped bring down the Soviet Union.

For almost two years I have cited an ABC News story revealing that a secret DIA report described the “potentially cataclysmic” disease outbreak in Wuhan in November 2019, many weeks before there was any detectable disease outbreak in that city But the actual TV clip provides much greater impact, and one of my podcast interviewers recently brought it to my attention, allowing it to be incorporated into the Rumble video:

 

(see video)

 

It’s also worth summarizing some of my analysis timeline in simple bullet-point format, documented in my long series of articles:

  1. Over the decades America has spent $100 billion creating the world’s largest biowarfare capability.
  2. In 2017 Trump brought on board Robert Kadlec, who since the late 1990s had been America’s leading biowarfare advocate.
  3. In 2018 and 2019 mysterious viral epidemics devastated China’s poultry and pork industries, severely damaging China’s food supply.
  4. From January to August 2019, Kadlec ran the Federal/State “Crimson Contagion” exercise in which our government officials practiced their strategies of protecting American society from infection by a hypothetical dangerous respiratory virus that might suddenly appear in China.
  5. In late October 2019, 300 American military servicemen visited Wuhan to participate in the World Military Games.
  6. In late October/early November, Patient Zero in Wuhan became infected with Covid. The virus spread invisibly until the Chinese government discovered its presence near the end of December. The Chinese government finally reacted in early/mid-January.
  7. In early January 2020, America assassinated Iran’s top military leader, with the retaliatory Iranian missile strike nearly leading to war.
  8. In mid/late January 2020, the Wuhan virus suddenly jumped 3,500 miles to the Holy City of Qom, soon infecting Iran’s top political elites, with a number of them dying as a consequence. By February, Iran had become the second global epicenter of the Covid outbreak despite having a negligible Chinese population, while the later outbreaks in Italy and Spain were in locations with hundreds of thousands of Chinese.
  9. In early March 2020, the Iranian government publicly accused America of having launched a biowarfare attack with Covid against Iran and China, with a formal complaint being submitted to the UN. However, virtually no Western media reported those accusations, so almost no Americans became aware of them.
  10. In early April, four intelligence sources told ABC News that a secret November DIA report had described a “potentially cataclysmic” disease outbreak taking place in Wuhan, but this had been ignored by the Trump Administration. Israeli TV confirmed that Israel and NATO allies had received that report, which had been produced “in the second week of November.” But according to best current estimates, at that point only perhaps a dozen people were starting to feel a little sick in Wuhan, a city of 11 million.

I’d also highly recommend my previous hour-long video podcast interview with Geopolitics & Empire from two weeks ago, my first use of that medium:

 

(see video)

 

And my thanks to Henrik at Red Ice, who located that striking ABC News clip when he interviewed me for two hours last week:

 

(see video)

 

More recently, I’ve also done podcast interviews with Scandza Forum and Tom Luongo, though the last of these is not yet available on the Internet.

I think that if the Rumble video or any of these interviews become sufficiently viral, the world may change in dramatic ways.
