6,000 PEOPLE WITH $40 TRILLION CONCENTRATED IN THEIR HANDS - What is going on in the global financial system is happening for a reason. Bloomberg has released an editorial saying that we are in for not just a recession, but a depression. But the forecast for the biggest financial institutions looks rosier. This brings us back to the question of which class sets the agenda and decides on these issues. What is happening now with the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank is a loss for some and a gain for others. The standard speculative market.

There are two classic definitions of what a "transnational elite" is. The first is financial services, intelligence and bureaucracy. The second is a class defined by ideological, political, military and economic attributes. That is, if we see some group that speaks the same language, discusses political issues in a similar manner, treats certain problems in the same way, and is economically focused on the same political agenda.

The transnational capitalist class defends its interests through the institutions that support the system.
We have started to talk about how viable this system is, because it has itself broken its main rule - the inviolability and sacredness of private property as the foundation of capitalism. They expropriated our money and property and it showed other economies that the financial system was unreliable because it had lost the reputation factor. What were all these consultancy firms and rating agencies doing? They were creating an air and a semblance of reliability.

In the '80s and '90s, 20-25,000 people were considered to be super-elites. According to a 2018 study, there are no more than 7,000 of them left. That is, there are fewer of them than people at a concert. But, if you round them all up, it turns out that they have about $40 trillion in their hands today. Moreover, their influence isn't limited to the financial system: they control people and organizations that shape the agenda of world organizations.

Who are those 6-7 thousand people? They are the upper echelons of financial capital, the highest political, military and academic elites, heads and senior figures in NGOs, as well as spiritual leaders and shadow elites. The Jeffrey Epstein scandal became so high profile because it showed not only the viciousness of the elite class, but also how small and incestuous their world really is. And it also showed us that these people, who we think are at the top, actually aren't because there is someone else collecting evidence on them so that they can be blackmailed with. https://t.me/zvezda_analytics/2515

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Ukrainian soldiers in Bakhmut fear that Russians are beginning to feel the "taste of victory" - Kiev Independent

“When we are being taken to Bakhmut, I already know that I am being sent to death,” the publication quotes the words of a serviceman of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to him, the Armed Forces of Ukraine cannot fully respond to attacks due to the shortage of shells - "[The Russians] continue to shoot at us, but we have no artillery, so we have nothing to attack them in response."

After the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, US banks borrowed a record $165 billion from the Fed in a week.

The previous record high was recorded during the financial crisis of 2008 - $111 billion

It looks like Germany has been appointed by the US as Head Teacher to lecture Israel on judicial reforms. But Scholz is more errand boy than head teacher. The US wouldn't rebuke Israel openly lest it alienates a large segment of the Israeli population.

The West is making two fundamental mistakes

After the International Congress of the Russophile Movement, philosopher Alexander Dugin spoke about what exactly the US and Europe are doing wrong in building relations with the rest of the world.

Putin and Xi Jinping will hold an informal meeting on Monday (March 20,2023), and official talks will be held on Tuesday (March 21,2023), Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"The communication between the President and the President of the People's Republic of China will begin on March 20 in the afternoon." It will be one-on-one communication. There will be an informal lunch. "The day of negotiations will be March 21," Peskov said.

He also answered "yes" to the question of whether a press conference or press statement is planned after the talks.

Earlier, Beijing said that Xi Jinping's visit to Russia was intended to "call for peace and promote negotiations."

Germany will send a federal minister to Taiwan for the first time in 26 years.
Bettina Stark-Watzinger, who oversees education and research is planning a 2-day trip to Taipei. The visit will focus on research cooperation in computer chips, green hydrogen and batteries, according to a spokesman.

The International Criminal Court (ICC) began operations on 1 July 2002. It is not a United Nations body and many countries including the US, India, Turkey, Russia and China do not recognize it. Biased NGOs funded by Western elites such as George Soros hold sway over this court. Moscow is under no obligation to acknowledge the “arrest warrant” for President Vladimir Putin announced by the ICC on Friday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.

“We consider the very premise outrageous and unacceptable,” Peskov told reporters when asked about the warrant for purported war crimes. “Russia, like many other states, does not recognize the jurisdiction of this court. Accordingly, the Russian Federation considers any of its pronouncements null and void from the legal standpoint.” 📍The Chairman of State Duma, Vyacheslav Volodin, added:

"Washington and Brussels have exhausted all possibilities of sanctions and hostile actions. They failed to break the unity of the citizens of the Russian Federation and destroy the economy of our country. Washington and Brussels understand that if there is Putin, there is Russia.

That's why they attack him. Putin's strength is in the support of the people and the consolidation of society around him.

We regard any attacks on the president of the Russian Federation as aggression against our country." @LauraRuHK

The International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Maria Lvova-Belova, Russian Commissioner for Children's Rights, and Vladimir Putin. This discredited court, controlled by Western elites such as Soros through their NGOs, acted on information provided by the media-academia-intelligence complex funded and managed by the US. Yale University's Humanitarian Research Lab, part of the Ukraine Conflict Observatory, set up by the US State Department plays a prominent role in the investigation, and so does the European Democratic Resilience Initiative (EDRI), an initiative launched by the Biden administration with $320 million in new funding to "support societal resilience and defend human rights in Ukraine and neighboring countries." Ironically, neither Ukraine nor the US are among signatories to the ICC. @LauraRuHK

Big Serge on Twitter: The funniest thing about the Hague issuing an arrest warrant for Putin is that neither the USA, Russia, Ukraine, Iran, or Belarus are party to the ICC - nobody involved in the conflict is under obligation here (except the EU)

Just another case of Europeans pretending they have power.

"The more turbulent and unstable the world becomes, the more it is necessary for China-Russia relations to steadily move forward. Faced with a complicated international situation, China is willing to work with Russia to maintain peace, security and development, jointly build a global community of shared future, implement the BRI, promote the leapfrog development of pragmatic cooperation between the two countries, and continuously advance China-Russia relations for a new era. Regardless of how the international situation changes, the China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination for a new era will inevitably move forward at a higher level."

RUSSIA E MONDO ISLAMICO SEMPRE PIU' VICINI. Una delle direzioni chiave della politica estera russa nel contesto della continua distruzione dell'ordine mondiale globale istigata dall'Occidente è la formazione di un ordine mondiale multipolare più giusto e basato sui principi della Carta delle Nazioni Unite. Lo ha dichiarato il capo del Comitato per gli affari internazionali del Consiglio della Federazione Russa, Grigory Karasin.

Il 6 marzo si è tenuto nella Casa dei Ricevimenti del Ministero degli Esteri russo un incontro informativo con gli ambasciatori dei Paesi membri dell'Organizzazione per la Cooperazione Islamica (OIC) sotto gli auspici del Gruppo di Visione Strategica "Russia - Mondo Islamico". L'evento si è svolto in continuità con gli sforzi per rafforzare l'interazione con i rappresentanti dei Paesi dell'OIC.

La presidente del Consiglio della Federazione Valentina Matvienko ha più volte sottolineato che oggi il mondo islamico è uno dei centri dell'emergente mondo multipolare.

Nella costruzione di un ordine mondiale policentrico, la Russia sta unendo le forze con i Paesi amici dell'Oriente, dell'America Latina e dell'Africa. "Allo stesso tempo, in quanto maggiore potenza eurasiatica, la Russia mantiene relazioni strette e basate sulla fiducia e sul rispetto reciproco con i Paesi del mondo islamico", ha aggiunto Karasin.

Grazie alla mediazione di Cina e Russia il processo di riconciliazione in Medio Oriente e' in pieno svolgimento. Chi trae beneficio dal caos e dalla guerra e' cosi' impegnato su altri fronti che si e' creata un'opportunita' storica per la pace in questa zona del mondo. Dopo l'accordo raggiunto tra Iran e Arabia Saudita per ripristinare relazioni diplomatiche, anche Israele comincia a rendersi conto che rischia di restare isolata a seguito di una normalizzazione dei rapporti tra paesi del mondo arabo e Iran. Israele sa che il declino dell'egemonia statunitense in Medio Oriente e' inarrestabile. Ma senza una soluzione alla questione palestinese non puo' esserci pace nella regione. Non e' escluso che la Cina possa riuscire laddove altri hanno fallito. https://www.haaretz.com/opinion/2023-03-13/ty-article-opinion/.premium/former-mossad-chief-after-iran-saudi-deal-should-israel-also-send-out-feelers-to-tehran/00000186-dbe9-d6b2-adff-fbfd0bc30000

Si puo' pensare il peggio di Israele e dei suoi crimini contro i palestinesi, ma una cosa va ammessa: gli israeliani hanno un sistema di intelligence tra i piu' avanzati al mondo, gli israeliani fanno sempre i propri interessi e quando la barca sta per affondare sono i primi a saltare giu'. Anche loro hanno capito che la barca USA e' in rotta di collisione con l'iceberg.
