Our esteemed partners in the BRICS recently, yet again, reiterated their wish to see an international order where the UN, WTO and IMF is at the centre of it. And of course, as usual they insisted on the importance of Agenda 2030.
Joint Statement of the BRICS Ministers of Foreign Affairs and International Relations, Cape Town, South Africa, 1 June 2023
"2. The Ministers reiterated their commitment to strengthening multilateralism and upholding international law, including the purposes and principles enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations (UN) as its indispensable cornerstone, and the central role of the UN in an international system ..."
"6. The Ministers called for the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in its three dimensions – economic, social and environmental – in a balanced and integrated manner by mobilising the means required to implement the 2030 Agenda. They highlighted in this regard that the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Summit, to be held in New York in September 2023, constitutes a unique opportunity for renewing international commitment to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda."
"8. The Ministers expressed their support for the free, open, transparent, fair, predictable, inclusive, equitable, non-discriminatory and rules-based multilateral trading system with the World Trade Organisation (WTO) at its core ..."
"9. They supported a robust Global Financial Safety Net with a quota-based and adequately resourced International Monetary Fund (IMF) at its centre. They called on continuing the process of IMF governance reform under the 16th General Review of Quotas, including a new quota formula as a guide, to be completed by 15 December 2023."
I hope "the hero of our time" playing the flute in the photo migrates like a clever bird to a more favorable climate during the winter months.
On a more serious note:
"Dental services in Russia have risen in price over the year. In a number of regions, according to Rosstat, prices for fillings have accelerated to 70%, for crowns—up to 130%. For prostheses, price increases have exceeded 250% [RTVI]."
In this regard Russia and the US have much in common as dental work in America is prohibitively expensive. Besides which, it's like pulling teeth finding a competent dentist who you can trust and is not just concerned about padding the bill.🦷
Most don't realize the significance of good dental health as an infection from an abscessed tooth can travel throughout the
bloodstream and into the brain. Some say, an overabundance of plaque could even cause strokes.
The point being, is that dental fees should be more regulated as dentists are increasingly becoming goniffs.

DId this fly under just my radar or was the miss more widespread in our little sector of the "information space"? Has anyone heard of that big conclave in Moscow in March that kicked off some world-wide association of Russophiles? Just last week Unz had a long piece penned by P Escobar (who is thought to be a sort of straight shooter by some in our sector). I found the tone of the whole thing to be sycophantic in the extreme. Not one single appearance of the words: oligarchs, digital, or digital ID, surveillance, vaccine, CBDG, and so forth.
(ECNS) -- Shanghai International Carbon Neutrality Expo in Technologies, Products and Achievements opened at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai) on Sunday. An initiative on low carbon was declared at a forum of the expo, which proposed naming the opening day of the Expo, or June 11, as World Low Carbon Day.
“To achieve carbon peak and carbon neutrality is a profound systemic transformation in the economic and social aspects. Ultimately, it relies on technological innovation and requires the concerted efforts of multiple parties to promote innovative breakthroughs,” Shanghai mayor Gong Zheng said during a speech.
Shanghai will fully, accurately, and comprehensively implement the new development concept, focusing on promoting high-quality development and facilitating a comprehensive green and low-carbon transformation in economic and social development, Gong said.
"Shanghai has been always at the forefront of the nation's green and low-carbon development, technological innovation and opening-up. To hold the carbon neutrality expo is of great significance for boosting collaboration by all parties," said Yang Yinkai, deputy head of the National Development and Reform Commission.
"We hope to create a platform for exchanging green and low-carbon policies, exhibiting products and achievements and facilitating enterprise cooperation to make contributions to the global climate change fight and sustainable development," Yang said.
The world is undergoing an industrial revolution and technological transformation characterized by green and low-carbon features. Cooperation and win-win outcomes are the only way to address the challenges and difficulties in the transition to a green and low-carbon economy, said Xie Zhenhua, China's special envoy for climate change, during a video speech.
“China has consistently taken proactive measures to address climate change. We will continue to implement the '1+N' policy framework for carbon peak and carbon neutrality, strengthen exchanges and cooperation with all parties, and commit ourselves 100 percent to ‘dual-carbon’ goals,” Xie said.
An initiative on low carbon was declared at the science forum of the expo on Sunday afternoon, which proposed saving resources and protecting the environment on the part of all organizations, and all citizens to purchase sustainable products instead of disposable ones. The proposals also included naming the opening day of the Shanghai International Carbon Neutrality Expo 2023, or June 11, as World Low Carbon Day.
Titled "The Path Towards Carbon Neutrality," the expo consists of themed exhibitions, forums and trade matchmaking activities.
Dear Edward, I enjoy your commentary, and I also enjoyed your tale of struggle on the chessboard.
I don't want to take inappropriate advantage of, or misuse your kind link-shilling offer. I'm not sure I fully understand it! I am based in Budapest if you are ever in town for a coffee & cake - we could meet and natter.
Dear Riley Edward S., I'm glad the idea of visiting PestBuda appeals!
You've taken the trouble to assure us that Russia is definitely not avoiding the global CBDC power grab, and is also not against the mRNA-vaccine push.
Do you (speaking broadly) think the globalist Davos putsch must be stopped, or am I presuming?
China is planning on transforming its business sector in accordance with ESG principles:

Harmonizing ESG endeavors: 2023 Boao Forum on China's path forward
As environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors continue to reshape the future of nations and businesses, the 2023 Boao Forum for Asia gathered leading experts to address pressing ESG questions in China on Wednesday. The forum emphasized the urgency for global collaboration and the immense growth potential within the ESG landscape, focusing on disclosure requirements, performance measurement, and corporate strategy integration.
In China, efforts are underway to establish a unified national ESG standard. Government departments are proactively working on this. The China Securities Regulatory Commission and the country's three main stock exchanges urge listed firms to disclose ESG information, said Yi Xuedong, director of the Research Center affiliated with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) of the State Council. He added that the ESG disclosure coverage rate for state-owned listed companies is around 60 percent, with plans to achieve full coverage this year."
And There are not only informers but also exiliated russian citizens, and some linked to russian inteligencia, and a lot of Fake passports with complicité of latino-américan states. NWO on it's way. Russians are not only in Ukraine or Africa, they are everywhere. In south America it's easy to spread a communist Propaganda using anti.americanist feelings among the population.
Riley you are the best.

"Hero of our time" - Lermontov - 1840 or so... he was the classic one-hit-wonder with that novel.
Great job Riley.
