- OUTSTANDING EVENTS ARE SHAPING THE BIRTH OF THE NEW MULTILATERAL WORLD

Year 2017 had seen several events occurring at world stage that are signs the old unipolar world order - dominated by the West since at least 500 years, is crumbling, confronted/challenged by new powers determined to establish a new multilateral order to rule world affairs.

In short, each day of year-2017 had seen the occurring of game changing events too numerous to recapitulate in this issue - but covered by Africabiz several previous deliveries.

The background of these events is always more or less related to the changes to apply to the existing predatory international financial system - based on debt accumulation for nations and people, that is the main source of poverty worldwide.

So currently there is a shadow ongoing war over the control of the financial system, that is the control of the future of the planet, which started as a consequence of 2008-financial crisis.

This shadow war is now at full gear, reaching a dangerous crescendo on all continents, with the occurrence of false flag events on a weekly basis - the most important one being the sudden riots that erupted in Iran, beginning of January 2018.

Let us consider few of these outstanding events that would definitely see a complete reshuffle of the world power system in a maximum time of approximately five coming years.

- Chinese Communist Party Congress 20-25 October 2017

The congress consecrated Xi Jinping leadership and opens a �New Era� for China to act at word stage.

Indeed, in his three-and-a-half hour�speech to the Congress, Xi Jinping set out a vision not just for the five years ahead but for 30, and talked of a socialist model which provides, "a new option for other countries and nations who want to speed up their development while preserving their independence".

The tone, the ambiance and the general atmosphere of the Congress, are, doubtless, signs that, from now on, the "prudent" Chinese authorities would be more assertive on world stage. They would be transforming the economic power they acquired over four decades (through the implementation of political and economic reforms introduced in 1973 by the iconic Deng Xiao Ping,) into political and decision making power - worldwide.

For that purpose the strategic masterstroke initiative One Belt One Road - OBOR would be fully implemented.

And one can expect from China a dramatic move to establish the national currency - the Yuan, as the new world standard reserve currency - in harsh competition to the US dollar. Some people believe this to happen during this 2018's first quarter.

- Stressful Relationship Between European Union's Commission and Member States Could lead to the Break Up of the EU

The European Union's non elected Commission (Government) is at odds with member States's governments on several subjects, such as national budget allocations to the common Army - Nato; and principally about the Open Door Policy to which Hungarian authorities are adamantly opposed. Click this link for more on the matter.

Furthermore, Poland (a member of the recalcitrant group of states to the Open Door Policy as explained in above outlined link) took legal steps to reshuffle its judiciary system - in order to remove EU's influence/ "control" on said system.

A move not at all appreciate by the Commission, which took the reckless decision to put Poland under Article 7.

This move by the Commission does not bode well for the future of the EU, as Poland would certainly draw a strong support from other East European nations opposed to the Open Door Policy.

The recent visit (beginning of January 2018) of Poland "right-wing"/nationalist party prime minister to Brussels, to mend ties with the EU, would not resolve the points of disputes, particularly the adherence to the Open Door Policy. The near future would tell!

If that is not enough, President Trump's Tax Reform (August 2017) would bring economic hardship to Europe, as American companies operating abroad would be repatriating billions and billions of US dollar to the U.S. - from European banks - increasing the liquidity crunch already existing in most European financial centers.

To add to all above discussed, the pressure exercised by Chinese One Belt One Road initiative upon European Union economic and political stability would progressively increase as member states - not only from the eastern part of the Union, are flocking to benefit from the OBOR - without discussion with the Commission.

Brexit had already occurred. And based on above discussed, one can assert that coming five years would be very bumpy for the EU's member states interrelationship with the Commission. Could the EU survive as a strong assembly capable of defending European political and economic views/interests at world stage?

- African National Congress Resolved to Nationalize South African Reserve Bank

During its 54th-electoral gathering (Nasrec/South of Johannesburg -16-20 December 2017) the African National Congress - ANC, took important political and economic resolutions and decisions that would shape for the better the economic development - not only in South Africa, but also in the whole Black Continent.

Indeed, under the party general politicy manifesto titled "Radical Economic Change," the ANC had decided to accelerate Land transfer/redistribution without compensation.

This is a U-turn policy because as the new elected ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa declared, "We took a resolution that in the last 23 years we have not seen the progress we would have liked to see in terms of Land distribution. We're now going to return the land to our people. We are going to expropriate Land without compensation." [Declaration made on January 7, 2018, at Zulu King Goodwill Zuwelithini's Osuthu palace/KwaZulu Natal].

In addition to Land redistribution, the other astounding resolution, which could make possible a rapid and efficient radical socio-economic change concerns the nationalization of the South African Reserve Bank.

This is huge and marks the beginning of the true liberation of African countries from the vicious and terrible clutch of a predatory financial system that is a hindrance to the economic and social development of Africa.

Once South Africa implements the decision, the sooner the better, other African Central Banks would follow suit opening a new era of economic development in Africa.

Most comments about the 54th-ANC elective conference (16-20 December) focused on the change of personnel leadership.

In the opinion of Africabiz Online, the change of personnel is not so important, (even if necessary to inject new blood into the organization management) - as the ANC always plays collective. Any elected "boss" has to abide to the policy decided by the organization. No way to do otherwise, unless the "boss" is searching for endless trouble.

However, now that this courageous decision had been made, South Africans nationalists should brace themselves to resist vicious assaults on the economic and political fields - orchestrated by international dark forces (and their local partners/slaves/agent-provocaeurs) not willing to relinquish their financial grip on the country; who are ready to use all means possible to create mayhem and chaos, in order to derail, delay, impede and sabotage the implementation of the decision.

These dark forces are waiting feverishly for any opportunity to kick off the mayhem - as they did to destroy Libya; the most favorable one would be the recall of Jacob Zuma by the ANC...Let us hope that the ANC leadership would not fall into the trap and instead concentrate on the implementation of the resolutions.
