While the West continues to fall into an abyss of undeclared civil war and social decay, the rest of the world is leaving it behind.
This week, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is having a big gathering celebrating the creation of a world village to replace a world fascist dictatorship.
Former chief reporter of Global Times, Yang Sheng explains “SCO is based on mutual trust, respect, and EQUALITY; something you CANNOT find in Western-led organizations that just listen to one big boss, the US.”
In an example of failed US diplomacy, US tariffs of 50 percent took effect Wednesday on many Indian products, doubling an existing duty as President Donald Trump sought to punish New Delhi for buying Russian oil.
Trump (or whoever is acting his role) thought this would bully India into submission. Instead, it pushed a country that was leaning towards the West firmly into the SCO. Trump has made four attempts to speak with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the phone in the past weeks but the latter did not take the calls, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper reported.
Modi is also angry at KM’s attempts to start a war between India and Pakistan by staging a terror incident. At a recent Indian military seminar, a general said, “Countries inimical to New Delhi have been trying to replicate in India [the US-led coup d’état] that happened in Bangladesh. He said the yearlong farmers’ protest, the agitation against CAA [Citizenship Amendment Act], and the situation in Manipur, were part of a larger ploy to destabilize the country and to prevent it from modernizing.”
This is a part of a huge battle over South and Southeast Asia raging between the US and China.
Now a battle for control of Indonesia is flaring between the US and China. Indonesia has the largest population, (286 million) and the largest GDP by far in S E Asia ($1.4 Trillion in 2024).
Here is what our contacts on the ground have to say:
“One of the main funders is an Indonesian Chinese man who has controlled oil trading in and out of Indonesia for the last several decades. He has been found guilty of several corruption charges. He now runs and hides in Singapore. He is a billionaire. China is backing this revolution.
The Indonesian President is supported and backed by US Deep State interests. Many government officials have fled the country and gone to Singapore, Australia, and China. They don’t want to be swinging from the lampposts. This will build momentum during the week.”
Another source says, “It looks like many people will be shot tomorrow. The Regional Police Chief has prepared live ammunition and rubber bullets.”
A third source says, “The government/policemen are targeting the Chinese again… because they have the money.”
He adds, “Remember that when current President Prabowo Subianto was the head of the special military force called Kopassus in 1997, 400 plus university students disappeared, never to be seen again. The students were demonstrating for weeks during the Asian financial crisis. Chinese women were being raped in the streets by the police and military, and nothing was done to stop it.”
Already, Parliament buildings are being burned down in Indonesia, and the Chinese are being attacked.
