…from Russia Today, Moscow
[ Editor’s Note: While China seeks its future in a comprehensive half-century infrastructure program which will stimulate consumer demand over a vast area, the US and its colonialist cohorts, including Israel, have chosen military unipolarism as their main stimulus, wanting to control everything via might and power.
Neither the US nor Europe has even considered a similar program to the New Silk Road, which appears to indicate that their respective publics are not to be invested in, but “maintained” in their current serf mode of eternal indebtedness to the banksters.
The major infrastructure project in Europe, Nordstream 2, is being fought tooth and nail by the US, and even by lackeys in the EU, despite Russia being once viewed as part of Europe. When I lived in Zaandam, Holland for a while, they had a statute of Peter the Great there, in honor of this having labored as a common ship worker on his famous tour of Europe.
Try driving around Europe looking for a public bathroom somewhere, or touring Greece and looking for a gas station or convenience store in the countryside. Try parking your tourist rental car in Naples and finding it still there five minutes later. The Balkans are even worse.
Gordon has been there and seen it all, including having he and his wife surrounded by ten gypsy teen girls demanding they drop their valuables and walk away, and Gordon’s wife begging him not to kill any of them.
The warnings of the Founding Fathers have been ignored, and our so-called democracy is a counterfeit relic. To that we can add the “fourth estate”, maybe the biggest disgrace of all… Jim W. Dean ]

Customs data showed trade with BRI countries for the period was up 9.7 percent year-on-year. It has outpaced the growth rate of China’s total trade, which remained stable at 3.9 percent.
Exports and imports with Russia, Saudi Arabia and Egypt were up by 11.5 percent, 34 percent, and 11 percent respectively.
China’s Ministry of Commerce said last week that the country has inked agreements on BRI cooperation with 18 Arab countries. In 2018, trade turnover between China and Arab states reached $244.3 billion, ballooning 28 percent year-on-year.
Dubbed the 21st century Silk Road project, the BRI was announced by Chinese President Xi Jinping six years ago. Since then, Beijing has signed 173 agreements with 125 countries, including developed and developing countries, and 29 international organizations.
The multi-trillion-dollar initiative aims to boost connectivity and cooperation between Asia, Europe, Africa and Latin America. Experts say it will significantly boost global commerce, cutting trading costs by half for the countries involved.

Belt and Road to boost China’s growth over next four decades
They said that the world’s second largest economy, China, is poised to grow strongly in the next two to four decades thanks to the BRI.
“Growth is going to continue to come from China for the next 20, 30, maybe 40 years … The greatest growth opportunity in the world is the Belt and Road Initiative,” Stephen Perry, chairman of the 48 Group Club, was cited as saying by China Daily. Perry made a keynote speech at the forum which was organized by London Business School.
“What China is trying to do is to free the productive capacity and consumer demand from China, across Central Asia, central Europe, and down into Africa,” he said, adding it is in the United Kingdom’s interests to take part in the initiative.
Participants of the forum discussed key developments of the Chinese and European economies, including Italy joining the BRI. They also talked about trade deals and innovative business practices between China and Europe.
China’s BRI megaproject (dubbed the new Silk Road), which was announced six years ago by President Xi Jinping, covers 152 countries in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa. It is expected to significantly boost global trade, and cut trading costs by half for the countries involved.
The International Monetary Fund has recently called the trade route a “very important contribution” to the global economy, saying that it promotes regional cooperation and connectivity in trade investment, human mobility, and finance.

Manufactured wars since 1776, only 16 years without war to pillage and plunder resources every and anywhere. Domestic terrorist, the pirate of the corporations robbed the US mankind and livelihood. The so called “democracy” only applied to the 1% of Donald Trump gangs. Even more absurd, that all the mental impaired, restarted, sicken people becomes a gunman since John Lennon’s murder, which totally a False Flags. Are the mass brain dead or just too low a IQ to see thru decoy works by the system? Even a well trained army man can’t shoot in such incision target, of course, all the murders needed to be executed on sport to bury all the evidences. If the journalist failed to see the plot per hidden agendas given, but no one even points out this fraudulent act in light? What a society is this? Pointing finger target China, Russia, North Korean any and all the nations whom do not serve US’s need and agenda but protected their sovereign will be targeted and tarnished. The commenter’s shortsighted and self-servicing psychic will stopping us all from progress. Only if the westerner willing open their eyes and their hearts we probably still have a chance.
If only given a chance for the world peace and prosperous initiated by China, or any other nation in this reference. But no, it is extreme hard to reach the aim due to deep hatred, prejudice and discrimination against any and all non-white nations. I never have any doubt, if said program sponsored by the West nation, there will never have any desist from becomes the most successful program in human history.
But it never can be reality due to the Chinese non non-compatible extreme profound culture and civilization which the Westerners can ever hardly digesting the scratch of the surface, the East humanity mentalities of “both street goes long way”. Also, the never stopping propaganda Cold-War mentality demonizing, bashing, slandering China and Communism. Which the mass cheated for last couple of centuries of so called “Democracy” , which was a “hoax”. I always question how in the world a nation addicted to a “Capitalism” system, in short, a total “money” operated nation from the white house, superior court to the common people in full function. A soul, spirit, social and morel corrupted a society to even call itself a “democratic society”.is an insult. The very base of “Democracy” first step is “humanity”. Simple question, where can one find the “humanity” in US?
i acknowledge im not the sharpest tool in the shed, but i believe this BRI could put an end to the
‘new world order’ & wonder if rushina or chiussia ??? have been quietly working toward this goal from the outset….
would the ‘debt control’ that rothschild has over all countries, be as over-powering ?
Somehow I don’t believe China is the road to freedom and prosperity. More an Old World Family slavery the likes of which our Deep State masters would welcome and embrace.
i concur. whitey forever holds to his messiah farce addiction, the dream of ultimate righteousness and justice for all. while the current crop of demo’s exhaust themselves over whities’ invented trangressions, their imaginations are too weak and their cognitive resources too damaged to consider history and nature’s cold & cruel law of the jungle to see what’s ahead: cruel taskmasters? wait until the former united states answers as indentured slaves to their asian taskmasters! (and the japanese will never forget the hiroshima and nagasaki incidents.)
Wake up, we ain’t white anymore.
