The Economist, a mouthpiece for the British Monarchy, in its June 13 issue, is promoting yet another “revolution in military affairs” (RMA), explicitly directed at a strategic war with Russia and/or China.  The Economist provided detailed, favorable coverage of a new concept, widely circulating inside the Pentagon, called “The Third Offset Strategy,” which aims to develop a new generation of wonder-weapons to counter recent military advances by Russia and China.  The lengthy article started out with a full endorsement of what came to be known as the Wolfowitz Doctrine of permanent U.S. global military hegemony:  “Since the end of the Cold War one simple geopolitical rule has endured:  do not take on America.  The country’s armed forces have been so well resourced and so technologically superior that it would be utterly foolish for any state to mount a direct challenge to the superpower or its allies.  This rule still holds—but it is no longer quite as compelling as it once was.”  The erosion of American global military dominance, The Economist lamented, is particularly true with respect to Russia and China, who have both made significant strides during the past decade, while the U.S. was bogged down in counterinsurgency wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The Economist cites a recent study, “Towards a Third Offset Strategy,” prepared for the Pentagon, which calls for a big investment in a new generation of weapons, from stealth drone fighters to mini-subs and other weapons systems, designed specifically to “offset” the recent Russian and Chinese gains.

After touting the new Pentagon RMA planning, and reviewing the first and second offset strategies of the 1950s and 1970s, The Economist came up against the one big obstacle to the new utopian schema:  The possibility that the losing side could resort to nuclear war.  “Finally, a warning,” the concluding section of the article began. “Despite the success of the second offset strategy, it never fully dealt with the possibility that a losing power might resort to nuclear weapons.  The logic of nuclear deterrence, it was assumed (or hoped), would survive an intense conventional conflict.  The cheerleaders for a new offset strategy rarely mention nuclear weapons.”

China has agreed to set up a $20 billion joint fund with Brazil in order to improve Brazil’s infrastructure and production. According to the independent daily, BRICS Post, this agreement came about during a meeting between visiting Chinese Vice Premier Wang Yang and Brazilian Vice President Michel Temer at Brasilia on June 27. Wang is in Brazil after his two-day (June 25-26) visit to Cuba. The agreement was one of the outcomes of the fourth meeting of the China-Brazil High-Level Coordination and Cooperation Committee (COSBAN).

In addition to reaching the agreement to launch the fund, Xinhua reported today, both Brazil and China have also agreed to list priority areas and specific projects in bilateral production capacity cooperation.

The Chinese commitment to Brazil came at an important moment for Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff. President Rousseff is encountering increasingly strong attacks from within because of a color revolution launched by the British and their minions, whose intention is to topple the Rousseff government and pull Brazil out of the BRICS. To this end, they are making use of the slow growth of the economy and a reported corruption scandal involving Brazil’s energy giant, Petrobras. Wang has met with President Rousseff.

Last May, when Chinese Premier Li Keqiang visited Brazil, he said that Chinese construction and steel companies were ready to help Brazil overhaul its infrastructure and reduce transport costs for the export of Brazilian commodities, reported the BRICS Post today.

Rousseff will be attending the 7th BRICS Summit in Russia in early July, but she will be in Washington beginning June 29 to meet with Obama and hold discussions about trade and other economics matters.

The BRICS Post reports that Obama will be stressing global warming and climate change in those meetings. Meanwhile, the nasty Lally Weymouth, senior executive editor of the Washington Post (and daughter of Katharine Graham), posted an interview with President Rousseff entitled, “Why Does Everyone in Brazil Hate Their President?” The title says everything about the spin of the article that stresses the economic downturn in Brazil, but the very stateswoman-like Rousseff answered with optimism and confidence about future economic growth for Brazil.

In 2013, Rousseff cancelled a U.S. visit in the aftermath of the NSA spying scandal, which she condemned in a fiery speech at the UN General Assembly in September 2013.

BBC America is airing the White House “interview” between President Barack Obama and leading British genocidalist David Attenborough Sunday night at two prime time spots.  The Obama-Attenborough airing is part of a British-led offensive underway, to promote full-scale global genocide under the guise of climate change.  In the trailer for the Obama-Attenborough show, Obama made it clear that he was seeking out the British climate change propagandist’s advice on how to push the population reduction agenda forward.

According to the Sunday Observer, there is a Vatican-sponsored activists’ conference in Rome, focusing on the upcoming Copenhagen21 conference at the end of the year in Paris, and following through on Pope Francis’ encyclical on climate change.  Naomi Klein, a well-known critic of modern capitalism and the author of a recent book touting the climate change fight as the moral battle ground against capitalist corruption, is invited to participate in the Vatican conference.  Klein told the Sunday Observer, “The fact that they invited me indicates they’re not backing down from the fight.  A lot of people have patted the pope on the head, but said he’s wrong on the economics.  I think he’s right on the economics.”  Among the participants in the Vatican-hosted Sunday conference, which begins with a march from the French Embassy, are representatives of Greenpeace and Oxfam.

The Observer/Guardian coverage of the Vatican conference referenced a previous climate change event, in which the Church assembled non-Catholic activists and diplomats inside Vatican City to push the agenda.  In April, the Vatican convened a conference  to help prepare the Pope’s encyclical, which included a keynote speech by Ban Ki-moon (Schellnhuber participated in that conference).

There are two upcoming conferences in Paris, in preparation for the December COP21 official event.  Prince Philip’s henchman Martin Palmer is one of the key organizers of the July 17 Paris event.  In September, the United Nations will convene a summit on climate control, at which all nations are expected to deliver detailed plans for carbon reduction and other measures.  Pope Francis will be in New York City for the opening day of that conference, and will deliver an address before the United Nations General Assembly.  On that same U.S. visit, he will address a joint session of the U.S. Congress.

The Guardian/Observer coverage highlighted the role of Schellnhuber in the work feeding into the encyclical, and noted that the Pope had a five-person panel present for the release of the encyclical.  “Hans Joaquim Schellnhuber, who heads the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, used the time to give churchmen a lesson in climate science.”
