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.”

Late breaking update: Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras went on national television on Sunday night and announced that banks and stock markets in Greece would be closed on Monday, and other capital control measures would also be imposed immediately. According to the Guardian, the Greek Finance Minister has already extended the bank and market shutdown until July 7, following the results of the referendum. In response to the Greek parliament’s vote to hold a referendum on July 5, the European Commission issued the text of its latest offer to Greece, in an effort to woo voters to support the deal. Tsipras, in his TV address, labeled the decision by the European Central Bank to limit the emergency funds to Greek banks as “blackmail.”  In another sign of the global panic over the European crisis, President Obama called German Chancellor Merkel on Sunday, to urge EU officials to do everything possible to keep Greece in the EMU.

The Greek parliament Sunday morning voted to hold a referendum on Sunday, July 5, on the Troika’s austerity package. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras stunned the EU and IMF on Saturday, when he announced his intent to get parliamentary approval for a referendum, which calls the bluff on the Troika’s clear intention of using the so-called debt negotiations to bring down the Syriza government, and install yet another in a long line of corrupt, submissive Greek governments, that would comply with the murderous austerity and illegitimate debt repayment— with the delusionary goal of extending the life of the thoroughly bankrupt Euro system.

In an emergency meeting on Sunday, the European Central Bank announced that it would continue to provide funds from the Emergency Liquidity Assistance (ELA) fund to the Greek banks. However, with runs on the Greek banks over the weekend through ATM withdrawals, there was growing concern that the Greek government might have to announce a bank holiday on Monday or some time later in the week, prior to the July 5 referendum.

On Saturday, European finance ministers had rejected Greece’s proposal for a weeklong extension of the June 30 deadline for a new bailout deal. On June 30, Greece is due to make a 1.5 billion Euro payment to the IMF, which it can only pay if the balance of the 8 billion Euro Troika bailout fund is released.  Even if that payment to the IMF is made, there is no way Greece can make payments to the ECB and EU that are due early in the summer.

In response to the weekend developments, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble told ZDF TV that he no longer saw any prospect for avoiding a Greek default on Tuesday and an exit from the Euro.  He added that he thought the situation would reach a break point even before the Tuesday deadline for the payment to the IMF—meaning a break point on Monday.

Schäuble’s views were contradicted by French Prime Minister Manuel Valls, who told French TV on Sunday, “I cannot resign myself to Greece leaving the euro zone—we must find a solution.”  He made a plea for Greece to return to the negotiating table.

At the bottom of the split is the looming blowout of the entire European and trans-Atlantic financial system, which is hopelessly bankrupt, and could detonate in the event of a Greek default.  A Greek government Truth Commission issued its findings last week, and concluded that none of the remaining Greek debt is legitimate, and none should be paid.  The injection of ELA funds into the Greek banks, to offset capital flight over the past weeks, has created yet a further nominal debt for Greece, since the ELA loans to the Greek banks are to be paid back at higher interest rates than the Greek government could have gotten from the ECB.  The bankers’ swindle never ends.
