I don't see the alliance between Russia and China as a bid for world domination, I see it as an attempt to get away from the US Dollar. Which is mutually beneficial. Why trade real commodities for worthless paper? The writing is on the wall, everyone can see it, and every intelligent nation is taking steps to protect themselves. Which is why we see organizations such as BRICS. It is also the reason why the US invaded Iraq the first time, because Iraq was about to bypass the USD in trading for oil. Bypassing the USD reduces demand for the commodity, thereby devaluing it. The US has a huge stake in keeping its dollar as the petrodollar. I see China buying Gold because they are trying to make a currency which will be backed by a commodity instead of fairy dust. The US Dollar will soon collapse, and when it does China will be in a place to capitalize greatly. Some suggest the value of Gold will go up to 20,000 USD an ounce when the dollar collapses. What currency would be best to replace the USD as the Petrodollar, one that is backed by Gold. I could see China attempting to make this happen. Its not about these nations preparing to attack the world, and China striving for world dominance. I see it as moves to protect their nations.
Yes, protecting their vital national interests. That's what countries do, and the world we live in is one where the strong push aside or crush the weak either financially or militarily. Nowadays, I can't think of a single country that can claim the high moral ground. Greed and lust for power has replaced morality. In this cat and mouse game between the superpowers, it's open season on any smaller, weaker country. Soros had his mitts in the Ukrainian upheaval. Bill Clinton had the gall to lecture the Polish government for its "ingratitude" because it isn't implementing his agenda. When a geriatric lecher can claim to hold the high moral ground by interfering in the internal affairs of an allied nation in an attempt to make his wife electable, currency values are a mere symptom of a fatal disease.
Your right, the corruption of financial systems are a symptom of the actions taken by Leaders who value power above all else. "By their fruits ye shall know them" "There is nothing new under the Sun" As the faith weakens, the Graces are lost, and the vile putrefies the land. Some Nations hit a bottom and have done some despicable things, but comeback. I think Russia is one of those Nations, and I genuinely believe that Russia is coming back to God. I don't think it is a perfect Nation, but it sure seems to have some class when it comes to Morality. Unlike western nations and the progressive left which runs them.
Are you saying their government and its leadership is 'genuinly coming back to God'? If so, I have to strongly disagree, as much past prophecy (Fatima and Garabandal come to mind) and much current alleged prophecy as well speaks to the contrary. This from Luz de Maria's latest message from June 18th: "Pray My children, pray, Russia is arising, it seemed asleep, it strives against Humanity and in a temporary alliance, is feared by all".
Enjoy http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/apr/4/vladimir-putin-patriarch-kirill-alliance-puts-athe/ Much more than any western nation. The consecration of Russia to Our Blessed Mother was something of a half consecration according to the Marian Movement of Priests. It was not a zero sum event. From what I can tell Russia is rising in Christian values, and they aren't bowing down to leftist garbage. They are cleaning up the mess the west made in Syria, protecting their own in the Crimea. The Ukraine is debatable, however the west in their meddling created a mess there too. Everything that Russia touches lately seems to have the hand of God helping it, where as in the west there is nothing but failure after failure.

Was this the real goal behind destabilising Ukraine, the genocide of Syrian Christians and turning the Mediterranean into a watery graveyard? The Sultan of Istanbul and the leader of the only country in the world that isn't condemned for giving preferential treatment to people of a particular ethnicity or religion have made an agreement on energy supplies and we all should rejoice because one is a NATO member and the other has a defence agreement with the US. Is Biden's son still on the Board of Ukraine's energy company? What a sick world this is. Netanyahu: Israel-Turkey deal immense boost to economy Diplomatic agreement expected to thaw relations and provide economic opportunities for Israel, PM Netanyahu says. http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2016/...al-immense-boost-economy-160627070929351.html
Its been 99 years since Fatima, since then how many monasteries, convents, churches and people have been praying rosaries for the conversion of Russia. Can we honestly think that almost 100 years of prayer would have have no effect? With all the anti-russia rhetoric and sanctions against Russia you would think they would be crippled. But instead they are growing stronger by the day. When I think of the victories that Russia has been having lately I think of the impossible victories that the Descendants of Abraham had in the old testament. I think of the victories against the muslims under the banner of Our Lady of Victory. I think about the David and Goliath victories that Israel has had since the 6 days war. And this is only beginning.
Wow. That's disturbing. So much for Israel being against oppressive Islamic regimes. Now it makes so much more sense why Netanyahu has been bombing the Christian-protecting Assad but never bombs the Christian-murdering ISIS.
Gorbachev: NATO Preparing For ‘Hot’ War Against Russia: Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev has accused NATO of preparing for a “hot” war against Russia and says rhetoric from alliance’s leaders is pushing the two sides toward a military confrontation. "NATO has begun preparations for escalating from a Cold War into a hot one," Gorbachev was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying on July 9. His comments came as NATO leaders met in Warsaw for the final day of a summit, where the alliance endorsed a new major deployment of armed forces to Eastern Europe that Moscow has fiercely criticized. Gorbachev, who presided over the Soviet collapse, said that NATO leaders "only talk about defense, but actually are preparing for offensive operations." http://www.rferl.org/content/gorbachev-nato-preparing-for-hot-war-against-russia/27849183.html
The hour glass of Obama is almost empty! Even tho BHO was empty from day one. ...lol Men in skirts fighting 4 our freedom- 7 year slide #Trump 2016 Now this past week, transgenders can enlist
This thread has caused me to wonder who/what The Evil Empire really is .... could it be US?? The USA was once The Shining Light blessed by God in any number of ways ... despite our human failings ... foreign/domestic missteps ....but then came Abortion, God removed from the Public Square, Christ removed from Christmas/Easter, unlimited Sexual Perversion and godless Political Correctness ... in ALL aspects of our jobs, schools, churches and Lives!! Well, well! .... and it continues! At least we can give Obama credit for being persistent in his quest to dismantle The Republic. Since his candidate days he has been pushing The Lefty-Wing Agenda... all that includes! Our School Systems have already been "Federalized" by Federal Funding, Federal "Guidelines" .. Ya want to keep your funding? ... the latest is the Transgender Bathrooms or else deal! Teachers Unions (like most unions) have become nothing but Front Groups for the Left (Democrats). So the Federalization of Domestic Police is next. After 7.6 years of Local Police demonizing and demoralizing by Obama, his DOJ and Democrat Party the time seems Right"... but Dallas ... Obama and Democrats are not sorry for the Police who have been gunned down by Terrorists and Criminals but are upset that Dallas "sets-back" their plans by News stories humanizing Cops and their Families ... and casting a favored Democrat Party "Victim Group" in a bad light ..so "Keep your powder dry"!! "Obama Pushes More Federal Oversight of Cops After Dallas Attack on Cops" http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/07/09/dallas-obama-federal-shootings/ The below was written 14 months ago.. think about all the Terrorist Attacks and Police vs. Criminal incidents since: "Remember that 'civilian national security force' Obama fantasized about?" http://www.jewishworldreview.com/dave/weinbaum050815.php3 ..... the above referring to this Obama - canidate/08 speech: GOD SAVE ALL HERE!!

No, CrewDog, the US isn't the evil empire. No single country is. Just like any country, there are parasites who make a living off the misery and grievances of others. How else would they mobilise poor African Americans to vote for the Democratic Party or for rich, white Hillary Clinton who has just been declared guilty but not guilty of jeopardising national security in a single statement by the head of the FBI? The whole BLM movement is about getting control of the House, Senate and Presidency. They can't do it without a high turnout of African American voters so they found a grievance to exploit and have been fanning the flames ever since the "if I had a son" statement.
"by their fruits ye shall know them" The foreign and domestic policy of the US, just over the last 25 years alone, has all the markings of an evil empire.
That video gives the impression that it's just US conglomerates that benefit from the warmongering. It isn't. All the allied countries get a slice of the re-building profits. Tony Blair was very peeved that Britain was short-changed after the invasion of Iraq, and lodged his protest with the US. The French also make money selling arms and aircraft. This is an interesting article about Putin's forthcoming visit to China. http://www.cnbc.com/2016/06/22/puti...omy-stumbles-on-sanctions-oil-price-drop.html Meanwhile, NATO is upping its presence on Russia's borders. A gift that keeps on giving to those who make money from the military weapons trade. I wouldn't be surprised to see NATO threaten Russia with more than sanctions over Ukraine if Putin's trip to China is too successful. They all claim to want peace but if war serves their interests.......
The point I was making is that the US has a long history of foreign policy that is dark and deceitful. I agree with you though, in that the US is not the only nation with blood on its hands. I wouldn't say that Western Nations get a slice of rebuilding profits, because its the corporations that benefit. The people of western nations are poorer than ever with fewer opportunities, it is always the elite that benefit. Nations are just a shell for whats going on behind the scenes. Many nations benefit from conflict (which is often created) in foreign nations as a means to subsidize their nations military industrial complex. Again the US is not the only nation with blood on its hands. Recently my own country of Canada recently sold 15 billion dollars in military equipment to Saudi Arabia which it currently is using to subdue Yemen. While there is some truth in this article, it is also greatly steeped in propaganda. They want to make Russia look weak, when it is not the case. Russia and China mutually benefit by keeping each other strong economically right now. Both Nations still maintain Nationally owned central banks, which are independent of the NWO. Part of the reason I posted the video is to demonstrate how US foreign policy is to privatize nationally owned interests, such as National Central Banks. I can guarantee you Putins trip to China will be successful. Russia isn't the only Nation that has to fear NATO/NWO. If Russia goes China will go soon after. The Military build up is a pretence of deterring Russia, but we all know it will be to engage Russia in war. I believe that Russia will strike first, NATO will play it as if Russia is trying to invade some how, and the war will begin. I am not so sure that Russia and China want a world war. I believe they have their own National interests and beliefs, but this does not mean they have an interest for world war. But I do believe the NWO is going to make a grab soon, because if they can consolidate their power world wide, then it doesn't matter how much debt they rack up. They just instate a new currency, and those who disobey are cut off. Right now time is against the NWO, and each day that goes by is a day sooner to the markets collapsing causing chaos, giving them the inability to fight a world war.
,, I more or less agree with you. While the US elite are the most influential, they work well with the elite in other countries especially the core countries like Britain and France. The elite need a safe haven for them to enjoy their wealth, so it's in their interests to keep things on an even keel at home. Brexit upset that applecart because the elite got so detached that they forgot that London is not England. Now the rhetoric is being ramped up to frighten Europeans into handing over their sovereignty to NATO. Cameron is warning of dire consequences for a fragmented Europe being unable to stand up to Putin. The irony of all this is that the EU was sold as the solution to endless wars between European powers. If closer union is the solution to wars, why wasn't there a real effort to forge closer relations with Russia? Of course, friendly relations with Russia would mean less influence for what you call the military industrial complex. If there were any justice in the world, weapons exporting countries would be held accountable for how and where the weapons are used. It's no coincidence that the Arab countries are among the main customers for military weapons, even when they are not officially at war. The hypocrisy of US politicians crying about gun laws at home while selling the most destructive weaponry to all and sundry around the world simply boggles the mind. I watched a documentary about Chad and its former dictator who was found guilty of crimes against humanity. Chad is a former French colony bordering Libya. According to the documentary, Mitterand's France and Reagan's USA were aware of his crimes but turned a blind eye to them because he was useful in restricting Gadaffi's interference in the region. When he was no longer useful to them, they had a ready made replacement in his deputy who led a rebellion against him. The documentary was on France 24, a TV channel that is to the socialists in France what CNN is to the US Democratic Party, yet Mitterand was a socialist. I posted the link to the CNBC news item to show how there's no coincidence between the "get ready for war with Russia" hype and Russia forging trade links that will lessen the impact on their economy of Western sanctions and the value of the dollar. Of course the reporting was slanted - it is CNBC after all. The same channel covered the Russian Economic Forum. On one of their programmes about the Forum, one Russian (possibly the deputy leader) talked about how the sanctions had given the Russians greater impetus to increase trade with the East and diversify their economy to lessen its reliance on oil. He gave an example of how they are moving away from using the US Dollar as the benchmark currency for foreign trade. I didn't catch the whole programme but it would be worth watching if CNBC repeats it. Here in Ireland, EU competition rules had already started the privatisation of essential services like electricity. Since the banking crisis, our water supply has been privatised and there was talk of our forests being sold off although I don't know whether anything came of that. I expect it's the same all across Europe. I don't know whether there will be a war. Hostilities and limited proxy conflicts leading to the mass movement of people could be enough to keep the elite in yachts, mansions, and private jets for another decade or two. Those of you in North America should be ok because the grievance machine can be turned on and off like a tap.
"Those of you in North America should be ok because the grievance machine can be turned on and off like a tap." I hope you're right Dolours but "I'm betting the Farm" that the Grievance Genie has been let out of the bottle and the cork is lost. Evil Forces have been stoking the anger of the poor-n-ignorant for 50+ years ... especially the last 7 1/2! The BlackLiveMatter, Occupy Anarchists and La Raza Radicals are forming up for a Big Push .... and, Islamic Terrorists will "Chime-In"! It will not end well sans Divine Intervention!
