Petrodollar, BRICS 11 Shifting Away From America

Petrodollar, BRICS 11 Shifting Away From America

“Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together
against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”

Psalms 2:1-3

Eight years ago when we started Focus On The End Times and our website began, there were no doubts as to the status of the US Dollar being the reserve currency of the world.

The US Petrodollar was set up in 1974 as the ticket to keep US dollars in demand internationally and therefore America’s buying power relatively stable. This unique pro-American system has kept the American dollar king of world currency for the last half century. Anywhere you travel in the world you can flash a $100 bill and people pay attention! And both the system and the dollar were still solid just eight years ago.

Decline of the Petrodollar
Since that time, there has been a growing movement by many nations to break the monopoly of the US dollar in international trade. China is the prime mover in this. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) wants to make China the dominant military and economic power on earth.

Nation by nation is chipping away at the hegemony of the US dollar as trade agreements are put in place for nations to trade in a currency other than the dollar.

The BRICS nations are at the center of this effort.

One rather large dent in the monopoly of the dollar has developed due to the Biden Administration’s failed Middle East policy toward Saudi Arabia. As a result, Saudi Arabia is now selling its oil to China in Chinese Yuan.
BRICS 11, Anti-Western Block

The leaders of BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) gathered in Johannesburg last week in what is likely to be a pivotal meeting for the bloc’s trajectory. Russian President Vladimir Putin did not attend due to an International Criminal Court warrant. But Moscow and Beijing pushed for the group’s expansion in a bid to strengthen the bloc as an alternative to the U.S.-led liberal international order and as a counterweight to the Group of 7 (G7) and other Western-led alignments.

Along those lines, it was
announced that six additional nations are joining BRICS at the start of 2024. They are Argentina, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the oil producers the UAE, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. Over 40 more countries have applied to join revealing a major shift in world power from west to east.

The Petrodollar was used by the entire world decades ago. Now, only the Western allies of the United States are still using dollars to conduct trade and buy oil. That is, only half the world, not all the world. Half of the world population—contained in the BRICS 11—will not be.

Conclusion
Either way, how the Petrodollar ends does not matter, it will surely end as it seems inevitable Satan’s assault on America will continue unabated. Either way, if the Petrodollar goes away it spells a decline in Americans’ standard of living with the dollar continuing into high inflation.

Get yourself ready. Test yourselves. Pull any idols down in your hearts higher than Christ. Keep watch for “the coming of the Lord draws nigh!”

Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei greets Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Iran

Hezbollah Gearing Up For Showdown With Israel
In a series of strategic political and military moves, Hezbollah is intensifying preparations for an imminent confrontation with Israel, drawing global attention and raising concerns about regional stability.

Under the guise of the battle over an Israeli border barrier, the Lebanese terrorist group aims to preserve its option of invading the Galilee, while also serving Iran’s interests in establishing a foothold in Syria.

Hezbollah’s leader, Hassan Nasrallah, is promoting the deployment of his forces along the border, with over 30 observation posts in place there. Lebanese sources suggest that the group is readying itself for a prolonged conflict with Israel, which it believes is gradually accepting new rules of engagement set by Nasrallah.

Decades of US corn export dominance fade as Brazil seizes top supplier crown

CHICAGO (Reuters) – U.S. corn export dominance is fading in an increasingly competitive global marketplace as Brazil, aided by a new supply agreement with China, is set to out-ship the U.S. for just the second time ever this season.

Meanwhile, Mexico, America’s other top market, is preparing to limit imports of genetically modified corn that comprises more than 90% of every U.S. harvest.

The eroding export market share spells trouble for the $90 billion U.S. corn industry as domestic demand for feeding livestock and producing ethanol has also cooled. Plantings of America’s most widely grown crop are likely to decline and farm incomes could suffer in the years ahead as a result, analysts said.

Hunter Biden’s Chinese partners recruited ex-CIA director to do Beijing’s bidding

The think tank official who gave the FBI info on Hunter Biden reached out to former CIA director James Woolsey, prosecutors say.

A Chinese energy conglomerate linked to Joe and Hunter Biden allegedly recruited former president Bill Clinton’s CIA director to do Beijing’s bidding, raising questions about what the firm sought from the Biden family.

According to federal prosecutors, CEFC China Energy funded a scheme to “recruit” former CIA director James Woolsey to pen articles for Chinese state-run media that promoted Chinese government initiatives. Prosecutors allege that CEFC China Energy ran the operation through Gal Luft, the co-director of a think tank Woolsey founded. Luft is charged with failing to register as a foreign agent for “work related to Chinese foreign principals.” Luft, a dual Israeli and American citizen, disclosed earlier this year that he was under investigation, but claimed he was targeted because he provided the FBI with information about Hunter Biden’s work for CEFC China Energy in 2019.

Google CEO sounds alarm on AI deepfake videos: ‘It can cause a lot of harm’

CEO Sundar Pichai says Google is intentionally limiting Bard AI’s public capabilities

Google CEO Sundar Pichai sounded the alarm about the dangers of using AI to create fake videos of public figures, a task he says will soon be “easy.”

Pichai made the comments during a conversation with CBS’ “60 Minutes,” telling interviewer Scott Pelley that Google is placing limits on its Bard AI to prevent misuse.

“It will be possible with AI to create– you know, a video, easily. Where it could be Scott saying something, or me saying something, and we never said that,” Pichar told Pelley. “And it could look accurate. But you know, on a societal scale, you know, it can cause a lot of harm.”

Biden proposal would give foreign climate group veto power over U.S. military contracts

A British environmentalist group was founded with money from a liberal dark money group.

A new Biden administration rule aimed at reducing carbon emissions would give approval authority over large U.S. defense contracts to a little-known British environmentalist group that just incorporated two weeks ago.

Under the White House’s proposed rule change, a London-based group called the Science Based Targets Initiative that is funded by the Democratic Party’s main dark money network would be responsible for approving the carbon emissions reduction plans of large federal contractors.

The Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) is a fee-based service that helps companies set emissions reduction targets in line with the Paris Climate Agreement and verifies their progress. But its foreign status and murky financial background raise questions about the Biden administration’s decision to outsource its vetting process to the group. Critics say the proposal would give SBTi enormous veto power over American defense contracts and access to potentially sensitive data about U.S. military suppliers.

Hezbollah slowly rewrites the rules on the northern border

Hezbollah believes Israel is deterred from getting into a conflict and as a result they’ve become increasingly aggressive in their provocations near the border.

This week saw a rise in tensions between Israel and Lebanon, with Hezbollah driving this rise in tensions by increasing the tempo of its provocation. This has included setting up tents in the disputed Mount Dov Area several months ago and then trying to use these as leverage to get changes of the border near the village of Ghajar.

Hezbollah is doing these operations as part of a larger plan to rewrite the rules of how it deals with Israel. Hezbollah believes Israel is deterred. It learned from the maritime deal last year that creating new claims and demands and then claiming that if Israel doesn’t concede something there might be “war” is a successful tactic.

New World Order, Without America, Trump Calls Out China’s XI!

New World Order, Without America, Trump Calls Out China’s XI!

 

 

 

 

A New World Order,
Without America,
Trump calls President Xi’s disturbing hot mic moment with Putin a historical ‘low point’ for USA

Fotet.org
3/24/23 – By Tim Buck

Former President Donald Trump has responded to the sinister remarks that Chinese President Xi Jinping reportedly made to Russian President Vladimir Putin during a meeting in Moscow earlier this week.

“President Xi’s statement to President Putin, caught on hot mic, was maybe a low point, in history, for the USA!” the former president wrote on Truth Social late Wednesday evening.

The suggestion Trump’s making is that current President Joe Biden, a Democrat, is letting Russia and China walk all over America… and he’s right!

During a three-day visit this week to Moscow, Xi told Putin that “change is coming” to the global stage.

“Change is coming that hasn’t happened in 100 years. And we are driving this change together. Please take care, dear friend,” Xi said via his interpreter to Putin at the tail end of his visit on Wednesday.
Not A One World Government

Regarding Bible prophecy, I’ve emphasized for years the Bible does NOT teach a coming one-world order with Antichrist controlling every person, every dollar and every weapon on earth. The notion of a one-world government comes from the misinterpretation of Revelation 13 that has misled students of prophecy for years. And at this point I’m not even sure there will ever be a western world order or the “Great Reset” so many are talking about. What we’re seeing now, as a result of the weakening of America, is not unity but greater separation with countries like China, Russia, Iran, N. Korea and the 57 Muslim nations openly rejecting alignment with America and western, Judeo-Christian ideals.

 What Type of Change is Coming?
According to CNN, Xi and Putin are trying to build a new “multipolar world” that’s “not led by so-called Western values and rules.”

In other words, they want to create a world that isn’t dictated by the wishes of the West, particularly the “woke” wishes of the United States.

Speaking with CNN, international relations expert Alexander Korolev of the University of New South Wales in Australia said that this demonstrates an “overall convergence of Chinese and Russian world views and approaches to many international issues.”

“It’s very explicit and clear in terms of identifying the United States as a major security threat,” he said.

During the meeting between Xi and Putin, the two also “referred to each other as dear friends, promised economic cooperation, and described their countries’ relations as the best they have ever been,” according to NBC News.

“They shared the view that this relationship has gone far beyond the bilateral scope and acquired critical importance for the global landscape and the future of humanity,” a statement by the Chinese government reads.

“We are working in solidarity on the formation of a more just and democratic multipolar world order, which should be based on the central role of the U.N., its Security Council, international law, the purposes and principles of the U.N. Charter,” a statement by the Russian government likewise reads.

In a joint statement, the two also “accused the West of undermining global stability and NATO of barging into the Asia-Pacific region, but asserted the close partnership between China and Russia did not constitute a ‘military-political alliance,’” according to NBC News.

Their cozy relationship and goals could affect the 2024 presidential election, according to political writer Myra Adams.

“China and Russia know that polarization is increasingly heightened during a presidential election year when a divided USA means a weaker USA. Thus, 2024 could be when this dangerous duo coordinates strategic and aggressive moves in Europe and Asia,” she writes for The Hill.

Moves like Russia threatening/attacking NATO countries or China trying to reclaim Taiwan. It’s not clear how President Biden would react to either of these contingencies.
China’s “Peace Plan” for the War in Ukraine

Speaking of world events, Xi and Putin also discussed China’s “peace plan” for the war in Ukraine.

The plan “calls for formal respect for Ukraine’s sovereignty, protections for Ukrainian civilians, an end to interference with the flow of humanitarian aid into the country, and condemnation of the possible use of nuclear weapons,” as reported by Time magazine.

“The plan also reflects the views of those around the world whose primary interest in the war is economic, by calling for a ceasefire, an end to sanctions, and the opening of peace talks that might help ease pressure on food and fuel prices,” according to Time.
However, though Putin is reportedly a big fan of the proposal, it has zero chance of being adopted because it doesn’t say anything about all the Russian troops already in Ukraine. Nor does it say anything about Russia returning commandeered land to the Ukrainian government.

“An immediate ceasefire would freeze Russian gains in place, forcing Ukraine to try to persuade Vladimir Putin to voluntarily give back land.

In truth, no peace plan is likely to succeed at this stage of the war because neither the Russian nor Ukrainian governments can afford to lose,” Time magazine explained.

Biden Systematically Pushing Us Into WWIII!

Biden Systematically Pushing Us Into WWIII!

 

 

 

 

The possibility of world war is increasing daily. Russia is ramping up new troops to enter the war. US, NATO announce massive weapons package for Ukraine. Despite Western pressure, China’s Xi has expressed his support for both Russia and Iran in the war against Ukraine. Iran is already providing drones to Russia and in exchange, to modernize its air fleet, Iran will receive 24 new Su-35 jets from Russia, with deliveries expected to start in the middle of 2023. Will Israel strike Iran before the planes arrive? “Wars and rumors of wars!”
TRUMP: BIDEN ‘SYSTEMATICALLY’
PUSHING US INTO WORLD WAR III
2/23/23  By Tim Buck
Fotet.org

Former President Donald Trump early Tuesday warned that President Joe Biden’s policies on Ukraine could lead to a third World War.

“If you watch and understand the moves being made by Biden on Ukraine, he is systematically, but perhaps unknowingly, pushing us into what could soon be WORLD WAR III,” Trump wrote in a post on his Truth Social page. “How crazy is that?”

Trump’s comment came after Biden met with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday following a secretive trip to the war-torn nation’s capital city of Kyiv, traveling there one day before Russian President Vladimir Putin’s address to the nation and less than one week before the anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

During the trip, Biden promised $500 million in new military aid for Ukraine and said additional sanctions will be announced this week against companies trying to evade sanctions to “back the Russian war machine” and also against Russia’s elite.

Biden did not mention fighter jets, but a military aid package that will include artillery ammunition, anti-armor systems, and air surveillance radars to protect Ukraine from bombing attacks.

Trump, meanwhile, has blamed Biden for the war’s escalation and recently said that if he was the president, he would negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine “within 24 hours.”

He also said in the video on his Truth Social page, though, that if he were still in office, “the Russia-Ukraine war would never have happened … never in a million years.”

In a separate video, Trump accused Biden of “escalating” the war by sending tanks to Ukraine.

“The situation in Ukraine is very dangerous, explosive, and escalating by the day,” he said. “Joe Biden’s weakness and incompetence have brought us to the brink of nuclear war. And now Biden is doing what he said 10 months ago would lead to World War III. He is sending in American tanks.”

Chinese Spy Balloon Floats Freely Over U.S., Biden Does Nothing! Left Behind Movie Hits #8.

Chinese Spy Balloon Floats Freely Over U.S., Biden Does Nothing! Left Behind Movie Hits #8.

As The Spy Balloon From Communist China Continued To Float Freely Over The United States, A Compromised Joe Biden Had No Response Allowing Its Path From Montana To Myrtle Beach!
The Biden Pentagon said Friday that the Chinese spy balloon is currently over the center of the continental United States and is expected to continue floating over the U.S. for a ‘few days.’

 

 

 

FAA issued a ground stop shutting down airports and closing airspace for parts of North Carolina and South Carolina due to “National Security Initiative.” FAA halted flights after balloon spotted over the Carolina’s.

 

 

 

The spy balloon was finally shot down today, after the Biden Administration gave the go-ahead to take it down when it floated over the Atlantic Ocean east of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, following calls from lawmakers to act more urgently on the mysterious balloon.

Spy Balloon
Over America

Biden Does Nothing!

The Spy In The Sky Has Finally Been Blown Out of the Sky Over Myrtle Beach!

2/4/23 By Tim Buck
Fotet.org

The U.S. military has shot down the suspected Chinese spy balloon off the Carolina coast. With the Biden family in bed with Communist China, nothing was done to stop the balloon as it floated freely over America taking careful measurements and possibly thousands of military facility and other classified photo’s.

It’s a sad day in America and the spy balloon should have been blow out of the sky when it first entered Alaskan air space!

It is a scenario ripped from the pages of either Saturday Night Live, or the Manchurian Candidate, take your pick. A spy balloon from Communist China not only entering US airspace over our mainland, but being given full access to roam about anywhere they want to go.

What is pretend president Joe Biden doing about all of this? Absolutely nothing, but don’t be too harsh on him. When you are as embedded with the Communist Chinese as deeply as Joe Biden and his entire family are at this point, you wouldn’t be able to do much about it, either.

Comer Presses Treasury on Joe Biden & Biden Family Selling America’s Energy Independence to China.

This is why so much time and effort has gone into protecting the Biden family from the contents of the Hunter Biden laptop, because if that laptop could talk it would make the case for the immediate impeachment of Joe Biden.

How many millions poured in from Communist China to build the Penn Biden Center where all those classified documents were discovered? How many millions transferred themselves from China to Hunter Biden’s bank account where it was then handed out to various members of the Biden Crime Family?

This is why Biden couldn’t and didn’t do anything about the spy balloon, until it completed its mission. He and his entire family have already been bought and paid for by Communist China.

This comes as arrivals and departures from three U.S. airports has been paused while the Federal Aviation Administration issues a ground stop to “support the Department of Defense in a national security effort.”

The FAA confirmed to CBS News that flights to and from Wilmington International Airport, Myrtle Beach International Airport and Charleston International Airport have been paused until at least 2:45 p.m. on Saturday. The agency has also “closed additional airspace.”

China has acknowledged that the high-altitude balloon belongs to Beijing, but has referred to it as a civilian device “used for scientific research such as meteorology” that blew off-course.

A second balloon has reportedly been sighted over Latin America.
