Multipolar World Order – Part 1

Iain Davis

Russia’s war with Ukraine is first and foremost a tragedy for the people of both countries, especially those who live—and die—in the battle zones. The priority for humanity, though apparently not for the political class, is to encourage Moscow and Kyiv to stop killing men, women and children and negotiate a peace deal.

Beyond the immediate confines of the conflict, the war is also seen by some as representative of an alleged clash between great powers and, perhaps, between civilisations. All wars are momentous, but the ramifications of Ukrainian war are already global.

Consequently, there is a perception that it is the focal point of a confrontation between two distinct models of global governance. The NATO-led alliance of the Western nations continues to push the unipolar, G7, international rules-based order (IRBO). It is opposed, some say, by the Russian and Chinese-led BRICS and the G20-based multipolar world order.

In this 3 part series we will explore these issues and consider if it is tenable to place our faith in the emerging multipolar world order.

There are very few redeeming features of the unipolar world order, that’s for sure. It is a system that overwhelmingly serves capital and few people other than a “parasite class” of stakeholder capitalist eugenicists. This has led many disaffected Westerners to invest their hopes in the promise of the multipolar world order:

Many have increasingly come to terms with the reality that today’s multipolar system led by Russia and China has premised itself upon the defense of international law and national sovereignty as outlined in the UN Charter. [. . .] Putin and Xi Jinping have [. . .] made their choice to stand for win-win cooperation over Hobbesian Zero Sum thinking. [. . .] [T]heir entire strategy is premised upon the UN Charter.

If only that were so! Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to be the case. But even if it were true, Putin and Xi Jinping basing “their entire strategy” upon the UN Charter, would be cause for concern, not relief.

For the globalist forces that see nation-states as squares on the grand chessboard and that regard leaders like Putin, Biden and Xi Jinping as accomplices, the multipolar world order is manna from heaven. They have spent more than a century trying to centralise global power. The power of individual nation-states at least presents the possibility of some decentralisation. The multipolar world order finally ends all national sovereignty and delivers true global governance.

World Order

We need to distinguish between the ideological concept of “world order” and the reality. This will help us identify where “world order” is an artificially imposed construct.

Authoritarian power, wielded over populations, territory and resources, restricted by physical and political geography, dictates the “world order.” The present order is largely the product of hard-nosed geopolitics, but it also reflects the various attempts to impose a global order.

The struggle to manage and mitigate the consequences of geopolitics is evident in the history of international relations. For nearly 500 years nation-states have sought to co-exist as sovereign entities. Numerous systems have been devised to seize control of what would otherwise be anarchy. It is very much to the detriment of humanity that anarchy has not been allowed to flourish.

In 1648, the two bilateral treaties that formed the Peace of Westphalia concluded the 30 Years War (or Wars). Those negotiated settlements arguably established the precept of the territorial sovereignty within the borders of the nation-state.

This reduced, but did not end, the centralised authoritarian power of the Holy Roman Empire (HRE). Britannica notes:

The Peace of Westphalia recognized the full territorial sovereignty of the member states of the empire.

This isn’t entirely accurate. That so-called “full territorial sovereignty” delineated regional power within Europe and the HRE, but full sovereignty wasn’t established.

The Westphalian treaties created hundreds of principalities that were formerly controlled by the central legislature of the HRE, the Diet. These new, effectively federalised principalities still paid taxes to the emperor and, crucially, religious observance remained a matter for the empire to decide. The treaties also consolidated the regional power of the Danish, Swedish, and French states but the Empire itself remained intact and dominant.

It is more accurate to say that the Peace of Westphalia somewhat curtailed the authoritarian power of the HRE and defined the physical borders of some nation states. During the 20th century, this led to the popular interpretation of the nation-state as a bulwark against international hegemonic power, despite that never having been entirely true.

Consequently, the so-called “Westphalian model” is largely based upon a myth. It represents an idealised version of the world order, suggesting how it could operate rather than describing how it does.

If nation-states really were sovereign and if their territorial integrity were genuinely respected, then the Westphalian world order would be pure anarchy. This is the ideal upon which the UN is supposedly founded because, contrary to another ubiquitous popular myth, anarchy does not mean “chaos.” Quite the opposite.

Anarchy is exemplified by Article 2.1 of the UN Charter:

The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members.

The word “anarchy” is an abstraction of the classical Greek “anarkhos,” meaning “rulerless.” This is derived from the privative prefix “an” (without) in conjunction with “arkhos” (leader or ruler). Literally translated, “anarchy” means “without rulers”—what the UN calls “sovereign equality.”

A Westphalian world order of sovereign nation-states, each observing the “equality” of all others while adhering to the non-aggression principle, is a system of global, political anarchy. Unfortunately, that is not the way the current UN “world order” functions, nor has there ever been any attempt to impose such an order. What a shame.

Within the League of Nations and subsequent UN system of practical “world order,”—a world order allegedly built upon the sovereignty of nations—equality exists in theory only. Through empire, colonialism, neocolonialism—that is, through economic, military, financial and monetary conquest, coupled with the debt obligations imposed upon targeted nations—global powers have always been able to dominate and control lesser ones.

National governments, if defined in purely political terms, have never been the only source of authority behind the efforts to construct world order. As revealed by Antony C. Sutton and others, private corporate power has aided national governments in shaping “world order.”

Neither Hitler’s rise to power nor the Bolshevik Revolution would have occurred as they did, if at all, without the guidance of the Wall Street financiers. The bankers’ global financial institutions and extensive international espionage networks were instrumental in shifting global political power.

These private-sector “partners” of government are the “stakeholders” we constantly hear about today. The most powerful among them are fully engaged in “the game” described by Zbigniew Brzezinski in The Grand Chessboard.

Brzezinski recognised that the continental landmass of Eurasia was the key to genuine global hegemony:

This huge, oddly shaped Eurasian chess board—extending from Lisbon to Vladivostok—provides the setting for “the game.” [. . .] [I]f the middle space rebuffs the West, becomes an assertive single entity [. . .] then America’s primacy in Eurasia shrinks dramatically. [. . .] That mega-continent is just too large, too populous, culturally too varied, and composed of too many historically ambitious and politically energetic states to be compliant toward even the most economically successful and politically pre-eminent global power. [. . .] Ukraine, a new and important space on the Eurasian chessboard, is a geopolitical pivot because its very existence as an independent country helps to transform Russia. Without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be a Eurasian empire. [. . .] [I]t would then become a predominantly Asian imperial state.

The “unipolar world order” favoured by the Western powers, often referred to as the “international rules-based order” or the “international rules-based system,” is another attempt to impose order. This “unipolar” model enables the US and its European partners to exploit the UN system to claim legitimacy for their games of empire. Through it, the transatlantic alliance has used its economic, military and financial power to try to establish global hegemony.

In 2016, Stewart Patrick, writing for the US Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a foreign policy think tank, published World Order: What, Exactly, are the Rules? He described the post-WWII “international rules-based order” (IRBO):

What sets the post-1945 Western order apart is that it was shaped overwhelmingly by a single power [a unipolarity], the United States. Operating within the broader context of strategic bipolarity, it constructed, managed, and defended the regimes of the capitalist world economy. [. . .] In the trade sphere, the hegemon presses for liberalization and maintains an open market; in the monetary sphere, it supplies a freely convertible international currency, manages exchange rates, provides liquidity, and serves as a lender of last resort; and in the financial sphere, it serves as a source of international investment and development.

The idea that the aggressive market acquisition of crony capitalism somehow represents the “open markets” of the “capitalist world economy” is risible. It is about as far removed from free market capitalism as it is possible to be. Under crony capitalism, the US dollar, as the preferred global reserve currency, is not “freely convertible.” Exchange rates are manipulated and liquidity is debt for nearly everyone except the lender. “Investment and development” by the hegemon means more profits and control for the hegemon.

The notion that a political leader, or anyone for that matter, is entirely bad or good, is puerile. The same consideration can be given to nation-states, political systems or even models of world order. The character of a human being, a nation or a system of global governance is better judged by their or its totality of actions.

Whatever we consider to be the source of “good” and “evil,” it exists in all of us at either ends of a spectrum. Some people exhibit extreme levels of psychopathy, which can lead them to commit acts that are judged to be “evil.” But even Hitler, for example, showed physical courage, devotion, compassion for some, and other qualities we might consider “good.”

Nation-states and global governance structures, though immensely complex, are formed and led by people. They are influenced by a multitude of forces. Given the added complications of chance and unforeseen events, it is unrealistic to expect any form of “order” to be either entirely good or entirely bad.

That being said, if that “order” is iniquitous and causes appreciable harm to people, then it is important to identify to whom that “order” provides advantage. Their potential individual and collective guilt should be investigated.

This does not imply that those who benefit are automatically culpable, nor that they are “bad” or “evil,” though they may be, only that they have a conflict of interests in maintaining their “order” despite the harm it causes. Equally, where systemic harm is evident, it is irrational to absolve the actions of the people who lead and benefit from that system without first ruling out their possible guilt.

Since WWII, millions of innocents have been murdered by the US, its international allies and its corporate partners, all of whom have thrown their military, economic and financial weight around the world. The Western “parasite class” has sought to assert its IRBO by any means necessary— sanctions, debt slavery or outright slavery, physical, economic or psychological warfare. The grasping desire for more power and control has exposed the very worst of human nature. Repeatedly and ad nauseam.

Of course, resistance to this kind of global tyranny is understandable. The question is: Does imposition of the multipolar model offer anything different?

Signing the UN Charter – 1948

Oligarchy

Most recently, the “unipolar world order” has been embodied by the World Economic Forum’s inappropriately named Great Reset. It is so malignant and forbidding that some consider the emerging “multipolar world order” salvation. They have even heaped praise upon the likely leaders of the new multipolar world:

It is [. . .] strength of purpose and character that has defined Putin’s two decades in power. [. . .] Russia is committed to the process of finding solutions to all people benefiting from the future, not just a few thousand holier-than-thou oligarchs. [. . .] Together [Russia and China] told the WEF to stuff the Great Reset back into the hole in which it was conceived. [. . .] Putin told Klaus Schwab and the WEF that their entire idea of the Great Reset is not only doomed to failure but runs counter to everything modern leadership should be pursuing.

Sadly, it seems this hope is also misplaced.

While Putin did much to rid Russia of the CIA-run, Western-backed oligarchs who were systematically destroying the Russian Federation during the 1990s, they have subsequently been replaced by another band of oligarchs with closer links to the current Russian government. Something we will explore in Part 3.

Yes, it is certainly true that the Russian government, led by Putin and his power bloc, has improved the incomes and life opportunities for the majority of Russians. Putin’s government has also significantly reduced chronic poverty in Russia over the last two decades.

Wealth in Russia, measured as the market value of financial and non-financial assets, has remained concentrated in the hands of the top 1% of the population. This pooling of wealth among the top percentile is itself stratified and is overwhelmingly held by the top 1% of the 1%. For example, in 2017, 56% of Russian wealth was controlled by 1% of the population. The pseudopandemic of 2020–2022 particularly benefitted Russian billionnaires—as it did the billionaires of every other developed economy.

According to the Credit Suisse Global Wealth Report 2021, wealth inequality in Russia, measured using the Gini coefficient, was 87.8 in 2020. The only other major economy with a greater disparity between the wealthy and the rest of the population was Brazil. Just behind Brazil and Russia on the wealth inequality scale was the US, whose Gini coefficient stood at 85.

In terms of wealth concentration however, the situation in Russia was the worst by a considerable margin. In 2020 the top 1% owned 58.2% of Russia’s wealth. This was more than 8 percentage points higher than Brazil’s wealth concentration, and significantly worse than wealth concentration in the US, which stood at 35.2% in 2020.

Such disproportionate wealth distribution is conducive to creating and empowering oligarchs. But wealth alone doesn’t determine whether one is an oligarch. Wealth needs to be converted into political power for the term “oligarch” to be applicable. An oligarchy is defined as “a form of government in which supreme power is vested in a small exclusive class.”

Members of this dominant class are installed through a variety of mechanisms. The British establishment, and particularly its political class, is dominated by men and women who were educated at Eton, Roedean, Harrow and St. Pauls, etc. This “small exclusive class” arguably constitutes a British oligarchy. The UK’s new Prime Minister, Liz Truss, has been heralded by some because she is not a graduate of one of these select public schools.

Educational privilege aside, though, the use of the word “oligarch” in the West more commonly refers to an internationalist class of globalists whose individual wealth sets them apart and who use that wealth to influence policy decisions.

Bill Gates is a prime example of an oligarch. The former advisor to the UK Prime Minister, Dominic Cummings, said as much during his testimony to a parliamentary committee on May 2021 (go to 14:02:35). As Cummings put it, Bill Gates and “that kind of network” had directed the UK government’s response to the supposed COVID-19 pandemic.

Gates’ immense wealth has bought him direct access to political power beyond national borders. He has no public mandate in either the US or the UK. He is an oligarch—one of the more well known but far from the only one.

CFR member David Rothkopf described these people as a “Superclass” with the ability to “influence the lives of millions across borders on a regular basis.” They do this, he said, by using their globalist “networks.” Those networks, as described by Antony C. Sutton, Dominic Cummings and others, act as “the force multiplier in any kind of power structure.”

This “small exclusive class” use their wealth to control resources and thus policy. Political decisions, policy, court rulings and more are made at their behest. This point was highlighted in the joint letter sent by the Attorneys General (AGs) of 19 US states to BlackRock CEO Larry Fink.

The AGs observed that BlackRock was essentially using its investment strategy to pursue a political agenda:

The Senators elected by the citizens of this country determine which international agreements have the force of law, not BlackRock.

Their letter describes the theoretical model of representative democracy. Representative democracy is not a true democracy—which decentralises political power to the individual citizen—but is rather a system designed to centralise political control and authority. Inevitably, “representative democracy” leads to the consolidation of power in the hands of the so-called “Superclass” described by Rothkopf.

There is nothing “super” about them. They are ordinary people who have acquired wealth primarily through conquest, usury, market rigging, political manipulation and slavery. “Parasite class” is a more befitting description.

Not only do global investment firms like BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street use their immense resources to steer public policy, but their major shareholders include the very oligarchs who, via their contribution to various think tanks, create the global political agendas that determine policy in the first place. There is no space in this system of alleged “world order” for any genuine democratic oversight.

As we shall see in Part 3, the levers of control are exerted to achieve exactly the same effect in Russia and China. Both countries have a gaggle of oligarchs whose objectives are firmly aligned with the WEF’s Great Reset agenda. They too work with their national government “partners” to ensure that they all arrive at the “right” policy decisions.

The United Nations’ Model of National Sovereignty

Any bloc of nations that bids for dominance within the United Nations is seeking global hegemony. The UN enables global governance and centralises global political power and authority. In so doing, the UN empowers the international oligarchy.

As noted previously, Article 2 of the United Nations Charter declares that the UN is “based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members.” The Charter then goes on to list the numerous ways in which nation-states are not equal. It also clarifies how they are all subservient to the UN Security Council.

Despite all the UN’s claims of lofty principles—respect for national sovereignty and for alleged human rights—Article 2 declares that no nation-state can receive any assistance from another as long as the UN Security Council is forcing that nation-state to comply with its edicts. Even non-member states must abide by the Charter, whether they like it or not, by decree of the United Nations.

The UN Charter is a paradox. Article 2.7 asserts that “nothing in the Charter” permits the UN to infringe the sovereignty of a nation-state—except when it does so through UN “enforcement measures.” The Charter states, apparently without reason, that all nation-states are “equal.” However, some nation-states are empowered by the Charter to be far more equal than others.

While the UN’s General Assembly is supposedly a decision-making forum comprised of “equal” sovereign nations, Article 11 affords the General Assembly only the power to discuss “the general principles of co-operation.” In other words, it has no power to make any significant decisions.

Article 12 dictates that the General Assembly can only resolve disputes if instructed to do so by the Security Council. The most important function of the UN, “the maintenance of international peace and security,” can only be dealt with by the Security Council. What the other members of the General Assembly think about the Security Council’s global “security” decisions is a practical irrelevance.

Article 23 lays out which nation-states form the Security Council:

The Security Council shall consist of fifteen Members of the United Nations. The Republic of China, France, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics [Russian Federation], the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America shall be permanent members of the Security Council. The General Assembly shall elect ten other Members of the United Nations to be non-permanent members of the Security Council. [. . .] The non-permanent members of the Security Council shall be elected for a term of two years.

The General Assembly is allowed to elect “non-permanent” members to the Security Council based upon criteria stipulated by the Security Council. Currently the “non-permanent” members are Albania, Brazil, Gabon, Ghana, India, Ireland, Kenya, Mexico, Norway and the United Arab Emirates.

Article 24 proclaims that the Security Council has “primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security” and that all other nations agree that “the Security Council acts on their behalf.” The Security Council investigates and defines all alleged threats and recommends the procedures and adjustments for the supposed remedy. The Security Council dictates what further action, such as sanctions or the use of military force, shall be taken against any nation-state it considers to be a problem.

Article 27 decrees that at least 9 of the 15 member states must be in agreement for a Security Council resolution to be enforced. All of the 5 permanent members must concur, and each has the power of veto. Any Security Council member, including permanent members, shall be excluded from the vote or use of its veto if they are party to the dispute in question.

UN member states, by virtue of agreeing to the Charter, must provide armed forces at the Security Council’s request. In accordance with Article 47, military planning and operational objectives are the sole remit of the permanent Security Council members through their exclusive Military Staff Committee. If the permanent members are interested in the opinion of any other “sovereign” nation, they’ll ask it to provide one.

The inequality inherent in the Charter could not be clearer. Article 44 notes that “when the Security Council has decided to use force” its only consultative obligation to the wider UN is to discuss the use of another member state’s armed forces where the Security Council has ordered that nation to fight. For a country that is a current member of the Security Council, use of its armed forces by the Military Staff Committee is a prerequisite for Council membership.

The UN Secretary-General, identified as the “chief administrative officer” in the Charter, oversees the UN Secretariat. The Secretariat commissions, investigates and produces the reports that allegedly inform UN decision-making. The Secretariat staff members are appointed by the Secretary-General. The Secretary-General is “appointed by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the Security Council.”

Under the UN Charter, then, the Security Council is made king. This arrangement affords the governments of its permanent members—China, France, Russia, the UK and the US—considerable additional authority. There is nothing egalitarian about the UN Charter.

The suggestion that the UN Charter constitutes a “defence” of “national sovereignty” is ridiculous. The UN Charter is the embodiment of the centralisation of global power and authority.

The United Nations’ Global Public-Private Partnership

The UN was created, in no small measure, through the efforts of the private sector Rockefeller Foundation (RF). In particular, the RF’s comprehensive financial and operational support for the Economic, Financial and Transit Department (EFTD) of the League of Nations (LoN), and its considerable influence upon the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA), made the RF the key player in the transformation of the LoN into the UN.

The UN came into being as a result of public-private partnership. Since then, especially with regard to defence, financing, global health care and sustainable development, public-private partnerships have become dominant within the UN system. The UN is no longer an intergovernmental organisation, if it ever was one. It is a global collaboration between governments and a multinational infra-governmental network of private “stakeholders.”

In 1998, then-UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan told the World Economic Forum’s Davos symposium that a “quiet revolution” had occurred in the UN during the 1990s:

[T]he United Nations has been transformed since we last met here in Davos. The Organization has undergone a complete overhaul that I have described as a “quiet revolution”. [. . .] [W]e are in a stronger position to work with business and industry. [. . .] The business of the United Nations involves the businesses of the world. [. . .] We also promote private sector development and foreign direct investment. We help countries to join the international trading system and enact business-friendly legislation.

In 2005, the World Health Organisation (WHO), a specialised agency of the UN, published a report on the use of information and communication technology (ICT) in healthcare titled Connecting for Health. Speaking about how “stakeholders” could introduce ICT healthcare solutions globally, the WHO noted:

Governments can create an enabling environment, and invest in equity, access and innovation.

The 2015, Adis Ababa Action Agenda conference on “financing for development” clarified the nature of an “enabling environment.” National governments from 193 UN nation-states committed their respective populations to funding public-private partnerships for sustainable development by collectively agreeing to create “an enabling environment at all levels for sustainable development;” and “to further strengthen the framework to finance sustainable development.”

In 2017, UN General Assembly Resolution 70/224 (A/Res/70/224) compelled UN member states to implement “concrete policies” that “enable” sustainable development. A/Res/70/224 added that the UN:

[. . .] reaffirms the strong political commitment to address the challenge of financing and creating an enabling environment at all levels for sustainable development [—] particularly with regard to developing partnerships through the provision of greater opportunities to the private sector, non-governmental organizations and civil society in general.

In short, the “enabling environment” is a government, and therefore taxpayer, funding commitment to create markets for the private sector. Over the last few decades, successive Secretary-Generals have overseen the UN’s formal transition into a global public-private partnership (G3P).

Nation-states do not have sovereignty over public-private partnerships. Sustainable development formally relegates government to the role of an “enabling” partner within a global network comprised of multinational corporations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), civil society organisations and other actors. The “other actors” are predominantly the philanthropic foundations of individual billionaires and immensely wealthy family dynasties—that is, oligarchs.

Effectively, then, the UN serves the interests of capital. Not only is it a mechanism for the centralisation of global political authority, it is committed to the development of global policy agendas that are “business-friendly.” That means Big Business-friendly. Such agendas may happen to coincide with the best interests of humanity, but where they don’t—which is largely the case—well, that’s just too bad for humanity.

Kofi Annan (8 April 1938 – 18 August 2018)

Global Governance

On the 4th February 2022, a little less then three weeks prior to Russia launching its “special military operation” in Ukraine, Presidents Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping issued an important joint statement:

The sides [Russian Federation and Chinese People’s Republic] strongly support the development of international cooperation and exchanges [. . .], actively participating in the relevant global governance process, [. . .] to ensure sustainable global development. [. . .] The international community should actively engage in global governance[.] [. . .] The sides reaffirmed their intention to strengthen foreign policy coordination, pursue true multilateralism, strengthen cooperation on multilateral platforms, defend common interests, support the international and regional balance of power, and improve global governance. [. . .] The sides call on all States [. . .] to protect the United Nations-driven international architecture and the international law-based world order, seek genuine multipolarity with the United Nations and its Security Council playing a central and coordinating role, promote more democratic international relations, and ensure peace, stability and sustainable development across the world.

The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN-DESA) defined “global governance” in its 2014 publication Global Governance and the Global Rules For Development in the Post 2015 Era:

Global governance encompasses the totality of institutions, policies, norms, procedures and initiatives through which States and their citizens try to bring more predictability, stability and order to their responses to transnational challenges.

Global governance centralises control over the entire sphere of international relations. It inevitably erodes a nation’s ability to set foreign policy. As a theoretical protection against global instability, this isn’t necessarily a bad idea, but in practice it neither enhances nor “protects” national sovereignty.

Domination of the global governance system by one group of powerful nation-states represents possibly the most dangerous and destabilising force of all. It allows those nations to act with impunity, regardless of any pretensions about honouring alleged “international law.”

Global governance also significantly curtails the independence of a nation-state’s domestic policy. For example, the UN’s Sustainable Development Agenda 21, with the near-time Agenda 2030 serving as a waypoint, impacts nearly all national domestic policy—even setting the course for most domestic policy—in every country.

National electorates’ oversight of this “totality” of UN policies is weak to nonexistent. Global governance renders so-called “representative democracy” little more than a vacuous sound-bite.

As the UN is a global public-private partnership (UN-G3P), global governance allows the “multi-stakeholder partnership”—and therefore oligarchs—significant influence over member nation-states’ domestic and foreign policy. Set in this context, the UN-DESA report (see above) provides a frank appraisal of the true nature of UN-G3P global governance:

Current approaches to global governance and global rules have led to a greater shrinking of policy space for national Governments [. . . ]; this also impedes the reduction of inequalities within countries. [. . .] Global governance has become a domain with many different players including: multilateral organizations; [. . .] elite multilateral groupings such as the Group of Eight (G8) and the Group of Twenty (G20) [and] different coalitions relevant to specific policy subjects[.] [. . .] Also included are activities of the private sector (e.g., the Global Compact) non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and large philanthropic foundations (e.g., Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, Turner Foundation) and associated global funds to address particular issues[.] [. . .] The representativeness, opportunities for participation, and transparency of many of the main actors are open to question. [. . .] NGOs [. . .] often have governance structures that are not subject to open and democratic accountability. The lack of representativeness, accountability and transparency of corporations is even more important as corporations have more power and are currently promoting multi-stakeholder governance with a leading role for the private sector. [. . .] Currently, it seems that the United Nations has not been able to provide direction in the solution of global governance problems—perhaps lacking appropriate resources or authority, or both. United Nations bodies, with the exception of the Security Council, cannot make binding decisions.

A/Res/73/254 declares that the UN Global Compact Office plays a vital role in “strengthening the capacity of the United Nations to partner strategically with the private sector.” It adds:

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development acknowledges that the implementation of sustainable development will depend on the active engagement of both the public and private sectors[.]

While the Attorneys General of 19 states might rail against BlackRock for usurping the political authority of US senators, BlackRock is simply exercising its power as valued a “public-private partner” of the US government. Such is the nature of global governance. Given that this system has been constructed over the last 80 years, it’s a bit too late for 19 state AGs to complain about it now. What have they been doing for the last eight decades?

The governmental “partners” of the UN-G3P lack “authority” because the UN was created, largely by the Rockefellers, as a public-private partnership. The intergovernmental structure is the partner of the infra-governmental network of private stakeholders. In terms of resources, the power of the private sector “partners” dwarfs that of their government counterparts.

Corporate fiefdoms are not limited by national borders. BlackRock alone currently holds $8.5 trillion of assets under management. This is nearly five times the size of the total GDP of UN Security Council permanent member Russia and more than three times the GDP of the UK.

So-called sovereign countries are not sovereign over their own central banks nor are they “sovereign” over international financial institutions like the IMF, the New Development Bank (NDB), the World Bank or the Bank for International Settlements. The notion that any nation state or intergovernmental organisation is capable of bringing the global network of private capital to heel is farcical.

At the COP26 Conference in Glasgow in 2021, King Charles III—then Prince Charles—prepared the conference to endorse the forthcoming announcement of the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ). He made it abundantly clear who was in charge and, in keeping with UN objectives, clarified national governments role as “enabling partners”:

The scale and scope of the threat we face call for a global systems level solution based on radically transforming our current fossil fuel based economy. [. . .] So ladies and gentleman, my plea today is for countries to come together to create the environment that enables every sector of industry to take the action required. We know this will take trillions, not billions of dollars. [. . .] [W]e need a vast military style campaign to marshal the strength of the global private sector, with trillions at [its] disposal far beyond global GDP, and with the greatest respect, beyond even the governments of the world’s leaders. It offers the only real prospect of achieving fundamental economic transition.

Unless Putin and Xi Jinping intend to completely restructure the United Nations, including all of its institutions and specialised agencies, their objective of protecting “the United Nations-driven international architecture” appears to be nothing more than a bid to cement their status as the nominal leaders of the UN-G3P. As pointed out by UN-DESA, through the UN-G3P, that claim to political authority is extremely limited. Global corporations dominate and are currently further consolidating their global power through “multi-stakeholder governance.”

Whether unipolar or multipolar, the so-called “world order” is the system of global governance led by the private sector—the oligarchs. Nation-states, including Russia and China, have already agreed to follow global priorities determined at the global governance level. The question is not which model of the global public-private “world order” we should accept, but rather why we would ever accept any such “world order” at all.

This, then, is the context within which we can explore the alleged advantages of a “multipolar world order” led by China, Russia and increasingly India. Is it an attempt, as claimed by some, to reinvigorate the United Nations and create a more just and equitable system of global governance? Or is it merely the next phase in the construction of what many refer to as the “New World Order”?

Well done Ian, great work. For me, without real anarchy/democracy only plutocracy and oligarchy exist which now only leaves a profound bifurcation of the geopolitical world consciousness. Imperialism is the weapon used in order to create by the West a one world Government and in the East the menu is the same except the currency used is of a slight difference in timbre, a cosmetic cuisine manufactured to bolster the farmed slaves’ belief in freedom. Without a federated horizontal democracy, nothing will change but the rebranding of fascists for populists as all perceptions have moved to the extreme Right including the so-called left that has never been anything else except reformist liberalism. Anarchism for a while was very successful with the CNT/FAI in Spain 1936 and still today with the Zapatas and Rojava. In Spain nazis, communists, and social democrats made sure no social revolution took place. Today that legacy… Read more »

Here: I post, with links to government.ru, how, some days after Biden’s terrible order on biotechnology, genomes and all sorts of transhumanist things, Russia ofiicial announced the same thing. I post, with a link, how in sync with their globalist enemies, the Russian deputy prime minister and Minister of industry and trade, announces that Russians need to change their mentality and eat fly larvae, which will be helped at the government level. He said this at the meeting, which he attended together with the Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of the Russian Federation and the minister of digital economy and innovation, communications, media, as well as culture, and with the head of the working group of the National Technology Initiative and with the director of the National ESG alliance.

Iain, you don’t understand Anarchy. Few examples. If nation-states really were sovereign and if their territorial integrity were genuinely respected, then the Westphalian world order would be pure anarchy. and Anarchy is exemplified by Article 2.1 of the UN Charter:“The Organization is based on the principle of the sovereign equality of all its Members.” and Literally translated, “anarchy” means “without rulers”—what the UN calls “sovereign equality.” There cannot be Anarchy if State exist. Anarchy and State are mortal enemies. Period. Anarchy is not “sovereign equality.” You use the word Anarchy inappropriately. To your credit, you pointed out that anarchy doesn’t mean chaos. A Westphalian world order of sovereign nation-states, ……, is a system of global, political anarchy. Political anarchy is oxymoron. Politics and anarchy are like water and oil. This does not imply that those who benefit are automatically culpable, nor that they are “bad” or “evil,” though they may… Read more »

Explanations from words from books. That’s all you can give. Show me this enlightened anarchy. You can’t. Just words, my friend. It has no flesh and blood, like the tribal structure with a leader. So you can’t show it to me, and all you can do is tell me stories about the idea of her. Again and again and again.

Let’s see it, let’s do it? Will it be made up of the same people? Or from selected enlightened minds?

I’m saying you’re an ideologue without soil. What’s behind your verbal masturbation?

Show me this anarchy? I don’t want you to explain, I want to see her.

What buddhists and new age are chasing you, wanker? I knew very well what enlightenment you were talking about.

And who are “you and the ilk”? Skeptics born of “unreflective enlightened thinking based on the notion of Survival”? Here’s a textbook example of dry-jerking. Do you know me? What do you know about my idea of survival? Do I have one? What beliefs do I have? You don’t know anything, but you say who I am “and the ilk”.

On the other hand, you’re talking about the misunderstood anarchy (Misunderstood by ID. I’m not interested in your conversations.)

So, to go back to the question: show me anarchy. I don’t want you to explain, show.

Anarchy is a sacred word/notion for me. I understand what you wanted to say, but using anarchy in this context is at least awkward, inadmissible for me personally.

Also, much much more will be needed than association of free sovereign individuals for anarchy to be viable.

After the announced referendums in the Donetsk and Lugansk republics to see if they wish to to rejoin Russia, it is interesting to note what Putin had to say about attacks on Russian Federation territory. “ ..necessary, urgent steps to protect the sovereignty, security and territorial integrity of Russia”. What does this mean?

One way to compare unipolar vs multipolar world order models is to consider that most of us will already have experienced a multipolar world. Or at least a bipolar one. Anyone aged 32 or over, will have experienced it to some degree or another. The bipolar model, of course, being Western civilization vs the Soviet Union. Succeeded by the unipolar ‘US hegemony’ model from 1990+ Ok, so, under the bipolar system, there was the fear of the odd nuke suddenly being randomly launched.

Yes, NATO is interested in the reality of the war which it has built up moving steadily from west to east until it reaches Russia’s frontiers. From Finland and Sweden in the north, and including the Baltics, in addition to Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, the Caucusas Slovakia, Turkey, and then come Germany, France and the UK and the minor states in the south of Europe and even Iceland! – that looks very much like an Eastward military expansion of NATO to me. That’s been on the cards since James Baker said that NATO would not move one inch east in the 1990s. So much for western assurances. Why do you expect Russia to sit back and do nothing?

olonel Muammar Gaddafi died after being stabbed with a bayonet in the anus and not in a firefight as originally claimed by Libyan authorities, according to a report on the dictator’s last hours.
New York-based Human Rights Watch said Gaddafi was already bleeding from head wounds caused by blast shrapnel as he tried to flee Sirte, his hometown. The charity obtained unedited mobile footage that showed militants abusing Gaddafi as they took him into custody in October 2011.
“As he was being led on to the main road, a militiaman stabbed him in his anus with what appears to have been a bayonet, causing another rapidly bleeding wound,” the report said.

I’m old enough to remember Peter Knowles, footballer at the time with Wolverhampton Wanderers, and younger brother of Cyril, legend of the Tottenham Hotspur team about the same time. Peter claimed that the world would end in 1984 having become a Jehovah’s Witness some years previously. I stood on top of the World Trade Centre that year. As far as I can see the world didn’t end. I can also claim to not know what is going to happen in one hour’s time – I know what I have planned – never mind next week or even 2030. I am minded of that saying by Robbie Burns in his poem “To a Mouse” that reads “the best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men, gang aft agley” It’s right that we become aware of all that may happen, and goodness, there’s quite a variety of options to choose from.

I’m not sure there’s any transfer of power going on or any struggle for hegemony. It looks pretty obvious to me since the covid malarkey that East and West are sock puppets on some puppet master’s two hands.

Currently he’s making them bash each other a bit and terrifying the Norms with thoughts of nuclear war. But it’s not working on me any more, or on those awake friends I have. It looks like a half-hearted performance to be honest. Not that convincing.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with a “world order” but that’s not what’s being sold.

As many nations have discovered over the years failure to play the Big Dog’s game by its rules results in you being slapped back into line — just look at Iraq, Yugoslavia, Iran, Libya, Venezuela, Cuba and a host of other nations. The list is almost endless. What’s gone wrong this time is that Russia has finally turned around and gone “Nyet!”.

Imo, the main advantage of Russia over the west lies in the heads of people outside Russia who do not have enough information (no matter in the West, in America, Asia, Australia, or even bordering Russia; it is simply a Western site, and the Western media market, including alternative, is immeasurably larger). Here are some simple concrete things (Syl Shawcross, I know this is your part, but… you should have been faster! 😆 ). Excerpts from two articles: 21 September 2022 “Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov confirmed the worst expectations of patriots who feared that instead of real import substitution, he was called upon to move the global agenda of “sustainable development”, “zero emissions”, “eco-friendly food” in the Government of the Russian Federation, etc. The day before, he said that Russian citizens will have to get used to eating meat… from fly larvae.

He did this at the 77th session of the UN General Assembly.

I would like to see how it works because I have read and listened to a lot, but I am impressed that the supposed success of each proposed enterprise is based on personal responsibility for compliance with agreements.

Yes, his class want, at any cost to us, to maintain their advantages, but no matter what we do, no matter what we build, no matter how we fight, no matter what we think, or even if we don’t fight or think at all, we will all be overwhelmingly concerned very soon with meeting our needs and not our wants. Choice is an illusion in this sense and all national governments are converging on the same path, with collapse at the terminus.

Unipolar vs multipolar is not a defining distinction while ALL are pushing the vaxx, digital money, increased surveillance, the global warming hoax with an energy reduction that decimates the population thru economic degradation.  The US and her vassal states has been dominant in the world. Now the BRICS/SCO we’re told are resisting that dominance, and are successful rivals. So what? So far there are two results: –Pretty much all countries commited rights violations and economic degradation against their own citizens in the covid-Op. –An incremental (boiling frogs) war is occurring, which if it progresses to a declaration of war opens Pandora’s box against the world population by supplying the pretext for vastly increased powers by the banking cabal/WEF. Nothing multipolar about that. It’s the psychopaths against us. Of course it’s got to be sold as multipolar; how else account for war; how else get people fighting against each other instead of identifying the real enemy? What’s… Read more »

Yes, war is terrible, particularly when you are living in downtown Donetsk. Try living under Ukie bombardment which has been going on since 2014. It doesn’t feel fake to them! The collective west and NATO is waging a war of extermination against Russia. The Ukies have got a kill list, or didn’t you know? What do we get from our pacifist friends: Love thy neighbour. That’s a little difficult policy to carry out don’t you think?

Agreed, Graham. The deep state/psychopathic cabal is strengthening itself & weakening us via the escalating war. If we permit them to go to a declaration of war it will be MUCH more difficult to defeat them.

While I acknowledge the horrors of living in Eastern Ukraine at this time, my main focus is on avoiding the global horror that will occur if they succeed in progressing to a declaration of war.

We probably cannot make the war stop, altho we should try. But we must stop their coming declaration.

For the globalist forces that see nation-states as squares on the grand chessboard and that regard leaders like Putin, Biden and Xi Jinping as accomplices, the multipolar world order is manna from heaven. They have spent more than a century trying to centralise global power. The power of individual nation-states at least presents the possibility of some decentralisation. The multipolar world order finally ends all national sovereignty and delivers true global governance. The WEF likes you for this, Ian! Nation states hold powers they can’t control and that is vibrant cultural souls, so they are against them. Nation egos they know and desire, as they loved Hitler. Cultures are not build upon Greed, their prime vehicle: there they are like fish out of their aquarium. Why make these WEF wolves look invincible? The unipolar world is their Walhalla as was proven the last 4 decades. China was their production favorite… Read more »

I am at a loss Antonym to understand why you think the article opposes the Westphalian idea of the nation-state or advocates global governance. I oppose nation-states from a volutarist perspective but that is not relevant to this article. As an aside, my own political philosphy favours decentralisation. So, in global governance terms, I would also prefer the devolution of authority to the nation state. My point is not to advocate global governance but rather, in this opening article of the series, to try to explain it as I see it. I agree with much of what you have said, as does the article (I think). I’m not promoting the Schwabian globalist mindset, I am criticising it. However, your comment appears to assume that the multipolar world order is actually based upon defence of the nation-state. My point, though perhaps made clumsilly, is that is not the case.

A multipolar world will make domination of the UN SC impossible and thus might make a drastic reform of it more plausible.

Glad to hear that you believe in benign nation states as THE genuine actors on the world stage, I just can see it clearly expressed in your main article above. Obviously, size does matter and Andorra can’t have the same weight as an India or the US for example.

There was a time when European nations were constantly at war with each other. But now they work as a single unit in most geopolitical ways. If I was to point out to you this fact that Europe appears to have a single unifying executive it would make little sense for you to reply that Europe can’t be a unified political unit because seventy years ago it was riven by war. What I mean is things change. Sometimes they change fast. We can’t ignore evidence for such change by clinging to the past. The plain fact is the plandemic showed Russia and China closely cooperating with the West to introduce a terrible sweeping, world-changing evil. This degree of cooperation is not superficial and we can’t discount it as irrelevant. It must change the way we view everything going forward.

Masks have never been mandatory in China except in areas where the virus is propagating. You might be aware of this had you seen any of the many videos of people in China. Nor are vaccines mandatory, which is one of the reasons while the sequestration process is so exigent. The elderly in China have traditionally been very reluctant to take any but traditional Chinese medicines. The fact that the elderly have a high level of respect in China (quite the opposite to the West and Japan) means that they can’t be force jabbed. This has resulted in the significant slowdown in the Chinese economy.

It’s amazing that in this supposedly informed site there are posters with any direct or deep knowledge that pose as experts.

They own this world and while Russia may be allowed to give us all a show of force against Nazis (which in too many ways to count we’ve yet to see, even out of a military that should be more than capable of “winning” this little war quite handily in a short period of time, even with NATO and FUCKUS “refusing to negotiate”), it will not be allowed to truly influence what our globalist owners have in mind.

The bloody war was cobbled together at short notice when the covid bullshit started to be exposed.

Remember how they were predicting economic crashes because of covid? And then the backlash happened and they knew they couldn’t get people to accept it? So, they switched plans and started a Wag the Dog scenario to get the same result.

Could they fake a tactical nuclear weapon attack in Ukraine to distract people from a banking/financial crisis designed to bring in CBDCs?

It is a system that overwhelmingly serves capital and few people other than a “parasite class” of stakeholder capitalist eugenicists.

At its core the article reveals the power and influence of a small elite individuals, institutions and collaborators the writer calls oligarchs, that some of us may refer to as the powers that be (TPTB). These individuals institutions and partnerships have one main thing in common, the desire to control the world. Where does that leave us? Will he have to choose between the lesser of two evils?

Great work Mr. Davis. Thank you. Just one suggestion for all. We need to start disentangling the mangled word definitions the elite’s use to confuse issues on the table. For instance “politics” or “political” can better be defined as: the art of prosecuting hidden agendas. And “power” is utterly useless in understanding source and action. A better definition would be: the authority to decide policy and budget. I think if we could make a small New People’s Dictionary with accurate definitions applied to “politics”, we might get adequate traction to act.

In addition to notifying Putin that all necessary force will be deployed in the liberation of Ukraine, the speech is effectively dumping Build, Back, Better for Make Democracy Great Again.

See earlier posts for the alignment of UK policy with that of the Christian Zionists (i.e. Pompeo etc).

The priority for humanity, though apparently not for the political class, is to encourage Moscow and Kyiv to stop killing men, women and children and negotiate a peace deal.

The peace deal is for Russia to depart Ukrainian territory – and that is defined as at 1991.

In 2016 in the US we learned that “voting” is meaningless. We “voted” for a wall across the southern border, reduced role in NATO, to stop endless foreign aggression, increase sovereignty, reduce global entanglements, and normalize relations with Russia. We got the opposite of all these things. On top of it, we were given a de facto president, Jared Kushner, who made clear he despised all 2016 Trump voters, and whom none of us would have voted for anyway. In 2015 Kushner’s business accepted a $250 million credit line from Soros. As to Ukraine, it’s been a US colony since 1991. US taxpayers never voted on this, we’re mere slaves. If your country accepts US “help,” as Ukraine did, your country ceases to exist. That’s your choice. The US will plunder your country to death. Per 2014 BBC transcript, US selected Yatsenyuk to be new Ukr. Prime Minister after US… Read more »

Just because you vote for something doesn’t mean you can give up fighting. For Ukraine, that fighting means driving Russia off Ukrainian territory using all necessary force.

I wonder if you have had a gander at the Ukrainian secret death squad’s ‘kill list’ They have a marvellous method of ‘liquidating’ people they don’t like. Recently the daughter of the Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin’s daughter was ‘liquidated’ by the Ukie death squad who placed a bomb in her car, which exploded when she started the engine. Lovely people these Ukies. Others are still on the death list, including American nationals Tulsi Gabbard, and Scott Ritter for example.

Sure, that’s super but the Russian speaking regions didn’t vote for persecution by the majority in 1991 but they got it.
Ukrainians didn’t vote for their elected president to be the subject of a coup in 2014 either.
So your point is what, some long distant choice to be a sovereign nation allows whatever bunch of gangsters in charge to persecute whoever they want to?

The coup and paramilitary violence was funded largely by Kolomoisky. That funding came from (via) Putin’s mate, Abramovich (see below); which makes the whole thing a false flag. And, of course, we know that Putin has form in that area! https://genius.com/Vladimir-putin-press-conference-on-the-situation-in-ukraine-annotated Press conference on the situation in Ukraine President Vladimir Putin of Russia takes questions from the Russian media on March 3, 2014, following Russian military action in Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula. Released: March 4, 2014 For example, Mr Kolomoisky was appointed Governor of Dnepropetrovsk. This is a unique crook. He even managed to cheat our oligarch Roman Abramovich two or three years ago. Scammed him, as our intellectuals like to say. They signed some deal, Abramovich transferred several billion dollars, while this guy never delivered and pocketed the money.

The unipolar world order is a Shangri-La for exploiters and users. To these people the general public is just another business opportunity in which to fleece the masses of the wealth they have had to earn. One just needs to be in the club. IMO, most countries of the world have seen enough of the UN. Most attend only out of a sense of duty and in the hope that the organisation can be saved. The UN has either always been nefarious or it was spoiled on the way through the decades by funny money. I doubt very much that either the Russian admin or the Chinese admin has put much store in the UN as it stands. So far the UN has merely been a rubber stamp for US and nato aggression and its colonialist policies. We have a plutocracy in charge of all western gov’ts who are now… Read more »

I would say that attacking the countries with long and friendly ties to Russia, is and was, a wake up call for the Russian admin. Some of these UN sanctioned attacks were illegal and didn’t even follow the UN’s own rules.

Everyone knows that the UN is merely a tool for western imperialism. I cannot see the Russian or Chinese admin being in favour of that, especially as that western imperialism is now causing trouble on the Russian border and eyeing up Taiwan for a patsy.

I’m having some trouble digesting the notion, prevalent as it is, that no one is either categorically “good” or “bad.” I feel like I’m back in (Catholic) grade school, going into the confessional and telling the priest “I had bad thoughts – 10 times.” The fact is, there are things so heinous that a person must be evil right down to the core to undertake them. At the top of the list is torture. There can be no good inside someone who has descended to that absolute depth of depravity. Torture is something even God has no right to forgive. Similarly, genocide is a practice too heinous to allow for any good within the perpetrators. “Oh gosh, I don’t know what came over me when I tortured all those people and killed a whole race of people! I’m usually so nice,” just doesn’t cut it. Evil is as evil does.… Read more »

Howard, many forces in US society for decades have told us that it’s antisocial to judge others– even to the extent of preferring one behavior or religion or normality over its converse. Also there is a natural, empathetic desire to “give the other guy the benefit of the doubt:” Many people in striving to understand others simply project their own normal emotions upon villains– hence they cannot conceive of true evil. I find it helpful to explain that if person accepts a philosophy or worldview or moral code that is profoundly alien to the great religions of the world that that person does not think of himself as evil and regards acts that normal people consider evil as virtuous, since they help to achieve his ideal worldview. There have been in history many groups who thought that only they were truly human, and that their very strength that enabled enslavement… Read more »

I was interrupted by my ride. An ordinary serial killer is a sociopath. A psychopath has more control; he isn’t so impulsive, he’s better organized. The psychopath is LIKE the ordinary serial killer in that he feels no remorse or guilt. He has convinced himself that he and his group are superior. It’s useless to berate him for hypocrisy or deceit. Once he has accepted the over-arching idea of his own superiority he cannot feel empathy for others. Because he is crippled in this way hypocrisy, deceit, ruthlessness– all of these are ACCORDING TO HIM virtues because they help him to achieve his no. 1 value, the power and control which “should” accrue to him due to his superiority, and that of his group.

you had “bad thoughts” only 10 times ?! Chief amongst mine, every day, was to murder my school teacher, and all the bastards who said “schooling is good for you”. But i never admitted to those thoughts ! I only supplied the priest with a standard list of ‘telling lies’ and ‘disobeying my parents”, nothing too serious. The priest always accepted that.

Accepting, for the occasion, as true the false idea that Russia has separated from WEF. How it looks: What is WEF for the vast majority of ordinary people, simply put? At least guaranteed: a digitized social credit system (from which there is no escape), with digital identifiers and so on, to the Internet of things with wearable identification and control devices (but not like these iPhones with free choice, but 24/7 attached to you) -> to the Internet of everything with the fusion of these and many other and different identification devices with people’s bodies, in one large networked social organism controlled centrally (something like that). (Combined with mandatory chemical control and biosecurity with regular intake of agents that keep the body fit to participate in the network; how about gene modification? But this is not in the specific or greatest emphasis of the WEF; but it is an integral part.) … Read more »

We are already in it, and not recently. Now we are waiting for the winter, generously provided by “all for Ukraine” and accordingly – without or with much less Russian gas. But it’s all about the movie they’re playing – if someone takes power and goes to Putin to make a deal, I suspect it won’t happen (because great reset’s goals).

So we are firmly in the game (in principle we are always “20 years behind the West”, but, for example, for brain-damaging mass electronics and TV models, and biosecurity, and a move towards the Green deal, for example, we are surprisingly moving in step with the world). For the bad, we are keeping pace with the West.

If only everyone would be good but those naughty Vikings would insist upon raiding, pillaging, raping and burning the East Coast of England – tut, tut.

It’s too late for the Western populace to fundamentally alter its future. Acceptance of one’s fate is true wisdom, as the Stoics said. Nevertheless, the West won’t collapse economically overnight — for the US a gradual reduction in living standards from higher prices and taxation (for those who pay either income or capital gains taxes) is to be expected. Continuing decline in expected lifespan reflecting reduced overall health (mental and physical), as data already show.
