🚨JULIAN ASSANGE’S BIRTHDAY

Here he is explaining why the US🇺🇸 came after him:

‘Why are they coming after me? The State Department and the US military have been tremendously embarrassed by these abuses being revealed. So what do you do if you’re embarrassed? You want to save face.

How do you save face? You have to slap the face of the person who is perceived to have embarrassed you.’

Previously unseen footage of US-UK-EU-armed Israel’s barbaric bombing of Iran🇮🇷:

An Israeli missile hit cars stopped at an intersection, with passengers in them. The explosion sends the cars flying into the air.

This is a warning for the global south, this can happen to your country if you are not adequately prepared to deter Washington-backed hegemonic violence.

Julian Assange turns 54 today, here he in 2011:

"The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the US and Europe through Afghanistan and back into the hands of a transnational security elite. The goal is an endless war, not a successful war.”

Switch Afghanistan to Ukraine and it still makes perfect sense.

🚨De-Dollarisation is MOVING FAST, BRICS New Development Bank is NOT doing enough!

‘De-dollarisation is proceeding quite substantially, especially in one area: in the bypassing of the dollar and the use of national currencies in the relations between BRICS countries and with other countries outside the BRICS.

What is not very advanced is this construction by the BRICS as a group of alternative mechanisms and institutions. This has happened to some extent.

For example, I was one of the founders of the New Development Bank in Shanghai. Ten years ago I moved to Shanghai. Now since then, the bank has advanced, but not enough. It’s not the global bank that we envisaged back in 2014/2015 to become a rival of the World Bank.’

-Prof. Paulo Nogueira Batista Jr., former Vice President of the New Development Bank, will join us for Saturday’s episode of Going Underground ahead of the BRICS+ Summit in Rio

🚨THE WEST IS DECLINING AS A MORAL FORCE OVER SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL'S GENOCIDE IN GAZA

'The US and the rest of the political West are in relative decline, and not only in economic terms, but also in political, cultural, and moral terms.

The West also declines as a moral force because of the support it’s giving to the genocide in Gaza.

Now, the BRICS need to take a stance on the genocide that is occurring in Gaza. And I hope there will be sufficient support for that at the summit in Rio.'

-Prof. Paulo Nogueira Batista Jr., former Vice President of the New Development Bank, on the latest episode of Going Underground, ahead of the BRICS+ Summit in Brazil🇧🇷

🚨IS INDIA🇮🇳 A TROJAN HORSE WITHIN BRICS?

‘I think that India has been a problem for the BRICS. I think perhaps the major problem for the BRICS is India. India is an outlier. I don’t want to exaggerate, but some people even say that India’s a sort of Trojan horse inside BRICS.

I wouldn’t go that far, but I do think that Modi has shown some strange things from my perspective. How can he support Israel? How can he have a good relationship with Netanyahu when Netanyahu and Israel are doing what they’re doing?

What does that say about India? How do the Indian people feel when they see their government supporting a genocide in Gaza and silent on unilateral attacks against Iran by the US and Israel?

I understand what the motivations of India are. You know, also India fears China and feels the need to maintain a certain proximity with the US.

But that has become a major factor of weakness inside the BRICS grouping, in my opinion.’

Ahead of the BRICS+ Summit, Brazil’s🇧🇷 President Lula Da Silva highlights the importance of creating a new currency, otherwise ‘we’ll end the 21st century the same we started the 20th century.’

‘And that won’t be good for humanity.’

The time for action by BRICS is now, otherwise the US will economically or military annihilate each major member of BRICS one by one, whether they realise it or not.

‘IRAN🇮🇷 WILL GO TO A FULL-SCALE NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAM’

‘I believe the US🇺🇸 now has a very erratic, unpredictable president who doesn’t seem to have a clear strategy. I’m happy about that.

Trump is doing the job of weakening the superpower that mostly harms the world. He’s weakening the US instead of making it great again.

Iran is not only a very important country by itself in all respects, but it is a link between Russia🇷🇺 and India🇮🇳. It is the possible link between Middle East oil and China🇨🇳, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz.

So Iran is strategically very important, and that perhaps is in the minds of Americans and Israelis when they are permanently hostile to Iran.

Now, Iran should have had an atomic bomb a long time ago, in my opinion, because this is deterrence.

Iran failed to do that, tried to cooperate, and now it has learned a lesson, I presume, and will go for a full-scale nuclear program, in my opinion.’

After the fall of Bashar Al-Assad in Syria, Prof. John Mearsheimer on Going Underground predicted that Iran🇮🇷 would move towards building nuclear weapons.

After the US-Israeli aggression against Israel, is Iran building nuclear weapons now a certainty?

Iran is a vital link in BRICS+, clearly without any deterrent against Washington and Israel.

What is to stop the US and Israel from destroying Iran at a time of their choosing, and therefore crush a vital part of BRICS+?

🚨BRICS+ SUMMIT: RUSSIA🇷🇺, CHINA🇨🇳 & IRAN🇮🇷 UNDERSTAND THE THREAT FROM THE US THE MOST

‘Russia would never have started this proxy war. It was imposed on it, on Russia by the West, by the US chiefly.

China is not the country pushing for confrontation with the US. It’s the US that’s pushing for confrontation against China.

Iran, Russia, and China are the members of the BRICS that know from practical experience the amount of damage, military damage and economic damage that the US and the West can do, more than the other members.

Brazil also knows, but we haven’t had the very tough experience that these three countries, Russia, China, and Iran, have had and are having now.’

🚨🇬🇧SIR KEIR STARMER WANTS PEOPLE TO CENSOR THEMSELVES THROUGH FEAR

'There’s no doubt that over the last 12 months, people have been jailed for considerable terms, 31 months for inappropriate tweets which they regretted and took down.

There has been a bit of an outcry. But what the government, what Starmer’s government wants us to do in the UK, is censor ourselves through fear. And that is something we must never give in to.

Because of all the human rights, the right to free speech is the one that underpins everything else. Without that, there can be no other freedoms.'

Silent de-dollarisation?

'The use of national currencies in trade between BRICS partner states is growing…in 2024, the share of the ruble and the share of other friendly currencies for Russia was 90%'

Ex-MP Andrew Bridgen: British🇬🇧 MPs are UNDER PRESSURE to stick with anti-Russia🇷🇺 narrative. Claims Russia will invade NATO are RIDICULOUS!

‘For anyone who wishes to research the origins of the conflict in Ukraine, it is a lot longer than 2022. It’s back in 2014…there was a CIA-inspired coup against the elected president, and the problems stemmed from there.

Certainly, the conflict in the Donbas, there are plenty of recordings of threats against ethnic Russians and their children. Honestly, I think President Putin showed quite a bit of patience.

But the narrative is being spun in Europe and other countries, and it has been spun for a long time.

I was in Parliament until a year ago, and MPs were under a lot of pressure from propaganda to stick with the narrative.

We’re basically being shepherded into a full conflict with Russia, with ludicrous claims that Russia is going to invade NATO. Russia, of 144 million population, is going to invade NATO, 973 million people.’

Vladimir Putin🇷🇺 on the claim Russia will attack NATO:

‘What kind of NONSENSE is this? Everyone understands this is nonsense. They deceive their population in order to ensure that money is squeezed out of the budget…and they explain their economic and social failures by this.’
