Goodbye Empire? US Sanctions are Failing in the Face of Multipolarity

Washington’s go-to methods can’t prevent the rise of other powers, an influential establishment journal admits

— By Felix Livshitz | January 25th, 2023 | RT

Foreign Affairs, a highly influential US magazine – effectively a US empire house journal – has published an article detailing how sanctions are quickly losing their efficiency as a weapon in Washington’s global arsenal.

Published by the Council on Foreign Relations NGO, Foreign Affairs provides space for officials within the US military industrial complex to communicate with one another on matters they believe to be of the utmost significance. Therefore, it is important to pay attention when the magazine makes major pronouncements on any issue.

It recently published an appraisal of US sanctions – the conclusion being that they are increasingly ineffective, have prompted Beijing and Moscow to create alternative global financial structures to insulate themselves and others from punitive actions, and that Washington and its acolytes will no longer be able to force countries to do their bidding, let alone destroy dissenting states, through such measures in the very near future.

The article begins by noting that “sanctions have long been the US’ favored diplomatic weapon,” which “fill the void between empty diplomatic declarations and deadly military interventions.” Despite this, it predicts “the golden days of US sanctions may soon be over.”

These “golden days” were the immediate post-Cold War era, when Washington was “still an unrivaled economic power,” and therefore could at the press of a button cripple each and every overseas economy, in theory. This was due to “primacy of the US dollar and the reach of US oversight of global financial channels.”

As international trade was overwhelmingly conducted using dollars, Washington could stop any country from exporting or importing any and all goods it wished, whenever it liked. Even then, Foreign Affairs recalls, US leaders themselves worried if sanctions were applied too liberally. In 1998, then-President Bill Clinton claimed his government was “in danger of looking like we want to sanction everybody who disagrees with us.”

The Foreign Affairs article says Clinton’s fears were “overblown,” but this is precisely what came to pass. Governments, and the countries they represented, have been sanctioned for pursuing the wrong policies, refusing to be overthrown in US-backed coups and military interventions and showing any degree of independence in their domestic or foreign dealings whatsoever. In the process, millions have died, and even more lives have been ruined for no good reason.

This approach has backfired, and badly. In response, states “have begun to harden their economies against such measures.” For example, after the US cut off Iran from the SWIFT global banking system, many other countries took note. Restricting China’s access to numerous technologies as part of the new Cold War has also served to place both Washington’s allies and adversaries alike “on notice their access to crucial technology could be severed.”

Beijing and Moscow lead the way in the push to create “financial innovations that diminish US advantage,” creating a raft of “currency swap agreements, alternatives to SWIFT, and digital currencies” that serve as “preemptive measures” against any “potential penalties” down the line.

Currency swaps, which connect central banks directly to each other and eliminate the need for trades between them to be dollar-backed, have been eagerly embraced by China. It has signed deals of this kind with more than 60 countries across the world, thereby enabling its companies “to circumvent US financial channels when they want to.”

In 2020, Beijing settled more than half its annual trade with Moscow in currencies other than the dollar, making the majority of these transactions totally immune to US sanctions, and that figure has only risen ever since. In March that year also, the China and Russia-led Shanghai Cooperation Organization officially prioritized development of payments in the local currencies of its members.

Beijing and Moscow are also, Foreign Affairs reports, “busily preparing their own alternatives” to various Western-dominated international systems. Their alternative to SWIFT, the Cross-Border Interbank Payment System, isn’t yet a match in terms of transaction volume, but that’s not the point. It prevents them, and any state or organization enrolled in the framework – 1,300 banks in over 100 countries already – from being unable to make international financial transactions, should they be cut out of SWIFT.

Similarly, China is expanding the reach of the digital renminbi, the currency issued by Beijing central bank, at home and overseas. More than 300 million of its citizens already use it, and a billion are forecast to by 2030. The currency is completely sanctions-proof as the US has no ability to prevent its use, and Beijing has encouraged several countries to pay for its exports exclusively using it – “other such deals will probably follow,” Foreign Affairs predicts.

The American empire’s obsessive reliance on sanctions has now created a Catch-22 situation, by the magazine’s reckoning. The already hostile relations between the USA, China and Russia mean Moscow and Beijing are pushing ahead with this revolutionary effort no matter what. If “things get worse,” they’ll simply “double down on their sanctions-proofing efforts,” taking more and more countries with them.

“These innovations are increasingly giving countries the ability to conduct transactions through sanctions-proof channels. This trend appears irreversible,” the article bitterly concludes. “All this means that within a decade, US unilateral sanctions may have little bite.”

It is all these developments, along with Moscow’s economic pivot eastwards after the 2014 Ukraine coup, and move towards self-sufficiency in energy and food and in other vital resources, which account for the embarrassing failure of US-led sanctions against Russia.

Western leaders, academics, journalists, pundits and economists promised when these sanctions were imposed that they would soon lead to Russia’s total political, economic and military collapse. They have not, demonstrating that elites in Europe and North America do not understand the global economy they claim to rule. They should get to grips with the new reality they inhabit in short order, though – for a multipolar world has begun to emerge in 2022, and it is here to stay.

How rapidly US elites are reckoning with the radically different reality in which they are now forced to operate is ironically underlined by how quickly the author of the Foreign Affairs article, Agathe Demarais, seems to have completely changed her tune on the subject of sanctions. On 1 December, less than a month earlier, she authored a piece for Foreign Policy – another US empire in-house journal – that offered a radically different take on the matter.

Boldly declaring “sanctions on Russia are working” in the headline, Demarais dismissed suggestions punitive Western measures were intended to “force Putin to back down and pull out of Ukraine,” or to provoke “regime change” in Moscow, or to prompt “a Venezuela-style collapse of the Russian economy,” despite the fact every single one of these outcomes was explicitly cited as a motivating factor behind the sanctions by Western officials, pundits, and journalists at the time.

Instead, she argued, sanctions were effective in the quest to “send a message to the Kremlin” that “Europe and the United States are standing with Ukraine.”

Whether or not Kiev will be thrown under a bus by its Western backers in due course, and the anti-Russian measures will endure after the war is over, seems to not matter so much, though – for, as Demarais was herself forced to acknowledge less than four weeks later, the effectiveness of sanctions is rapidly diminishing. This speed of this about-face could well be an indication of how irresistibly the multipolar world is coming to be.

After a 78-day NATO war on Yugoslavia failed to achieve regime change, the U.S. and Western European governments turned to other means to overthrow the Socialist Party government in Yugoslavia led by Milošević. The election provided an opportunity for the U.S., which had spent years cultivating cadres of student protesters and forming the ideologically fractured anti-Milošević political parties under the banner of “Democratic Opposition Of Serbia,” or DOS.

“US diplomats knocked their heads together until they formed a cohesive and united coalition,” Christian Science Monitor correspondent Peter Ford wrote in a piece titled “How the Balkan strongman was toppled.”

A 2019 publication of the U.S. military’s Joint Special Operations University titled “Support to Resistance: Strategic Purpose and Effectiveness” explains the multi-faceted strategy to ensure the victory of Vojislav Kostunica, who is described as the favored “anti-communist candidate.”

The strategy included a psychological operations component known as “Ring around Serbia,” which used radio broadcasts of U.S.-government propaganda arms Worldnet, Voice of America, and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty’s Serbian service to “[wean] public support away from Milošević. The U.S. also ran its “MATRIX project,” which sought to weaken Milošević’s inner circle, compelling some of his closest confidantes to flee the country.

But most important, according to then-ambassador James Dobbins, was a student activist group cultivated by the United States named Otpor – what he hailed as “the most effective element of the Serbian opposition.” Otpor is Serbian for “resistance” and operated under the slogan “Gotov je” Serbian for “he is finished.

In neighboring Hungary, William Montgomery – who would go on to be named U.S. ambassador to Belgrade – had set up an office in 1998 to train Otpor opposition activists in how to bring down a government. Gene Sharp, nicknamed the “Machiavelli of nonviolence” who pioneered the field of “nonviolent revolution” dispatched retired U.S. Army Colonel Robert L. Helvey to run a weekend workshop for Otpor leaders. “In many ways, the framework that Helvey proposed to Otpor was a mirror image of the principles of strategy and process for formulating strategy taught at various U.S. military schools,” military theorist Richard H. Shultz wrote in another Joint Special Operations University book titled “Resistance Views.”

Otpor’s internal structure resembled a secretive intelligence agency more than a democratic student movement. Helvey wrote that “Otpor developed a leadership that was unknown to most of its members. The leadership never met as a group but only briefly with one another as was required.”

Ambassador James Dobbins wrote in his 2017 memoir ‘Frontlines: Fives Decades of Service on the American Frontline of Diplomacy’ that Otpor organized “increasingly massive rallies, often in the guise of rock concerts, and possessed a clear strategy to force regime change.”

While Otpor sought to portray itself as an independent movement, one member confessed that it was almost entirely bankrolled by Washington’s regime change apparatus. “‘Eighty-five percent of our funding came from the United States, ’through bodies such as the National Endowment for Democracy, the International Republican Institute and the National Democratic Institute, as well as USAID.”

One of the United States’ key tactics was to have its trainees closely monitor the fateful fall 2000 general election. “We brought one of Otpor’s young leaders to Washington, arranged meetings throughout the administration, and sent him back with enough funding to train and deploy 30,000 election monitors,” Dobbins explains. Former U.S. Army Special Forces officer and military analyst Will Irwin identifies that young leader as Otpor co-founder Srdja Popovic.

The Clinton administration calculated that by using Otpor and the “pro-democracy” opposition groups as a proxy, the toxic cloak-and-dagger image long associated with coups carried out by U.S. intelligence agencies would be avoided. “Political risk for the USG was mitigated by openly describing the support to Otpor and other opposition elements as a democracy promotion project, although it was intended from the beginning as a means to facilitate regime change,” Irwin wrote.

As the Otpor-led demonstrations went on, the Milosevic government sought to undermine the opposition by clamping down on media and communications. But according to “Resistance Views,” the U.S. and European Union had long prepared for that possibility and supplied funds slated for media technology including “copy machines, phones, postage and printing, computers, and Internet services.”

“When the regime took control of Belgrade’s largest newspapers and television and radio stations in May, Otpor was ready for that, as well. It had established its own communication and information systems and continued to communicate with the population.”

This extensive communication and information system is what prompted WIRED journalist David S. Bennahum to dub the anti-Milosevic movement the “Internet Revolution” in 1997.

...In 2003, veteran Otpor leader Srjda Popovic went on to found the Center for Applied Nonviolent Strategies, commonly referred to by its acronym, CANVAS. The group has trained opposition activists in several dozen countries across the world including Ukraine, Georgia, Russia, Egypt, Tunisia, Venezuela, Iran, Zimbabwe, Lebanon, and China – all targets of its progenitor and funding source, the U.S. empire. Juan Guaidó, the self-declared “interim president” of Venezuela and frontman for the U.S.-orchestrated coup attempts reportedly participated in a CANVAS training session in Mexico.

The private intelligence outfit Stratfor, known as the “Shadow CIA” described CANVAS succinctly in a leaked email. After running Milošević out of power, “the kids who ran OTPOR grew up, got suits and designed CANVAS… or in other words a ‘export-a-revolution’ group that sowed the seeds for a NUMBER of color revolutions. They are still hooked into U.S. funding and basically go around the world trying to topple dictators and autocratic governments (ones that U.S. does not like ;).”

Savic’s November 2020 video titled “STEP BY STEP PROCEDURE, HOW WE WON WHEN MILOSEVIC STOLE OUR ELECTIONS“ was reuploaded to a Youtube account called Mrgunsngear B Channel run by U.S. Air Force and Army veteran Mike Plouff where it has received more than 250,000 views. The popular U.S.-based channel contains hundreds of instructional videos on weapons and ammunition, analysis of protests, and even a warning from Venezuelan Olympic sport shooter Gabby Franco warning that outlawing gun ownership would be the first step towards a socialist takeover by Senator Bernie Sanders and Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez “that will destroy the United States if implemented.”

As Savic’s polemic into the right-wing mediasphere went viral, top Republican politicians. organizers of so-called “Stop the Steal” rallies around the country and QAnon conspiracy theorists began to disseminate the video as a warning of what failure to prevent a Biden presidency would mean for future generations.

Tracey Beanz, a well-known figure among Arizona’s conservative movement, tweeted a link to the viral Youtube video, which Arizona Republican Party Chairwoman Kelli Ward then retweeted, adding Savic’s warning.

...Dozens of supporters of the insurrection thanked Savic in comments on the original Bitchute version. “Since President Trump called us to the capitol on January 6th your video has been spreading all around and brought me here,” reads one ominous comment. “I hope we can do something because I’ve been trying to make people see how much trouble we are in and they will not listen. There are people willing to defend our country but enemies in media and big tech are making things difficult. But we have been called to our capitol on the 6th and patriots know we must be there. Pray for us, brother.”

...As the FBI arrests participants in the insurrections, its armchair spiritual leader Aleksander Savic has relocated to Texas where he claims to be writing a “dictionary” to “help the American society understand the choices they are making.” Meanwhile, he continues to upload videos to his Bitchute channel. A January 24 edition analyzes the coup’s failure and advises his followers on how they should proceed into the future.

Addressing the participants as if he were their leader, Savic laments the events at the capitol as “a complete mess,” He blames the failure on a lack of organization among the insurrectionists “because going to the protest without clear aim, without clear duration of that protest and without the logistics, it was pretty much impossible.”

While Savic lauds the individual efforts, he complains that the insurrectionists did not have a strong enough presence in the Republican party – a claim bolstered by a YouGov poll showing 45% of Republican voters disapprove of the storming of the capitol. “You lost on a tactical level last month because your party was not able to make organization,” Savic explains. “It was incredible to see all the rallies that you spontaneously organized with grassroots movements. However, you didn’t have the organization inside the party.” He disparages the events in the Capitol as insufficiently destructive, saying “People entered the capitol, which was, I don’t know, a tourist attraction I guess… I have never seen such riots, if we can call it [a] riot.”

To The President Of The United States Of America Joe Biden And The Chief Medical Advisor To The President Of The United States Of America Dr Anthony Fauci And The National Institute Of Allergy And Infectious Diseases (NIAID) And The United States Department Of State (DOS) And The President Of The Russian Federation Vladimir Putin And The Kremlin Russia And The Government Of Russia And The President Of Israel Reuven Ruvi Rivlin - ראובן רובי ריבלין And The President Of The People's Republic Of China Xi Jinping And The Ministry Of Foreign Affairs China And The Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Director General Of China Hua Chunying And The Spokesperson Of The Information Department Of China Lijian Zhao And The World Health Organization (WHO) Western Pacific And The Director General Of The World Health Organization Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus And The World Health Organization (WHO): Request For An Allied International Investigation Into The Global Organised Crime Of Australia's Largest Corporation Woolworths Group Australia Who Evilly And Criminally Deliberately Infect Food And The Origins Of The 2009 Swine Flu Pandemic And The Current COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic (Part 10 Of 14)

And last year when I was getting angrier and angrier at the COVID-19 Coronavirus spreading through the planet on a global level, I telepathically-psychically heard a female voice ask me how is she going to feed everyone? And I also heard a male voice telepathically-psychically say to me why don't you ask who started the HIV/AIDS Virus? And also when I was getting angrier and angrier at the COVID-19 Coronavirus spreading through the planet on a global level, I did telepathically-psychically see a vision of a laboratory towards the mid-end of last year in 2020 - however I hope that what I saw was a laboratory where the COVID-19 Coronavirus Vaccine was being created - however I please ask the World Health Organisation and the governments of Australia, China, Russia and the United States Of America, and all allied global governments, and all good journalists, and all good people globally to please check to verify this. As we now please need an allied global investigation into the true origins of the COVID-19 Coronavirus that caused this extremely infectious and deadly COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic. And I understand China rightfully and necessarily banning Australian animal exports and other unhealthy exports from Australia, including climate change causing coal from Australia. However I please ask that China, as Australia's largest trading partner, will remain as Australia's trading partner in exports essential to technologies and industries to evolve and save our planet earth. Such as the Australia Government Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC)which recently invested $US7 million dollars in the Chinese Solar Corporation "Sunman", which will hopefully increase even further, Australia and China's diplomatic trading relationship. As now there is already a close alliance between China and Australia that needs to be globally created with the help of the United States Of America and Russia. As Australia has recently signed the "Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP)", which is the world's largest trade deal covering 30% of the global economy, with 15 countries involved including Australia, China, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand and the ten members of ASEAN The Association Of South East Asia Nations. So now it will be extremely beneficial to the global economy and world peace, and the United States Of America's worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, if the United States Of America and Russia were to be part of the "Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership" with China and Australia. As we now need to create a close global alliance with China and Russia, and also increasingly create an allied global economy, by getting the United States Of America and Russia to please also join the "Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership". And also include China and Russia in future War Games with Australia and the United States Of America and all of our allies, which along with the "Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership", will also help prepare us all for a necessary war against our evil enemy Iran and Shia Islam. As Iran has abandoned the JCPOA Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action and illegally enriched uranium to develop nuclear weapons to destroy our planet earth and all of our souls eternally in Armageddon. So now we must all globally stop using nuclear energy and fossil fuels, and instead immediately transition to complete clean renewable energy, whilst globally allying and preparing for a necessary war against Iran. And because of the world-wide devastating nature of this COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic, we have all been forced to make necessary changes in ourselves, our communities, our states and territories, our countries and to our entire planet earth. So from now on tourism, which is a dangerous and horrible, and environmentally harmful, and unnecessary and unhealthy industry that contributed to the spreading and continuing of this current extremely infectious and deadly COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic, must now necessarily end. Thank-You From Adam Shane Lawes.

When ministers’ claim they support human rights in their foreign policy, they are rarely challenged in the press. Articles on UK arms exports to repressive regimes are fairly common and often highlight contradictions with upholding human rights. However, they regularly take for granted that the UK otherwise supports human rights in those countries and elsewhere.

Press articles regularly assert that the UK supplies arms to regimes “despite” repression and human rights abuses. Yet UK policy in various countries is focused on maintaining favoured regimes in power and on enabling them to counter opposition.

In the Gulf, for example, promoting “internal security”– a euphemism for ongoing repression – has long been a key feature of British support for states such as Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. The UK’s export of surveillance technology to repressive regimes, the provision of military training and its regular failure to censure states, or change policy, over human rights abuses, can all help regimes to repress opponents.

Press articles rarely intimate that British policy is about supporting repression of pro-democracy activists or movements. As a rough indicator, the research finds no articles mentioning the phrase “Britain’s support for repression” (or variants of this term) in the past five years.

The UK is also widely seen in the press as a champion of global development, echoing government claims. A Guardian editorial in 2016 noted, for example, “One of the things modern Britons can be proudest of is their country’s achievements in international development”.

By contrast, almost no articles could be found suggesting the UK might oppose international development or be a significant contributor to global poverty. One rare exception in the Guardian in 2016, written by Jason Hickel of Goldsmiths, University of London, was sub-headlined: “we need to stop pretending that the United States, France and Britain are benevolent champions of the poor”.

Britain’s large aid programme, which supports some worthy projects, is significantly designed to promote UK foreign policy goals and British business interests. The government has openly stated that aid promotes the UK’s “influence in the world” and to “deliver influence in Africa” as well as helping to “further UK strategic interests”. UK aid also promotes British commercial interests by pressing for the privatisation of education in developing countries and by funding projects supporting pro-British repressive regimes.

Moreover, various broader UK policies undermine global development. The UK’s network of tax havens, involving the British Virgin Islands and Cayman Islands, for example, is responsible for over one third of global tax avoidance – amounting to about £115-billion a year, eight times larger than its aid budget. In addition, many UK companies, notably in the mining and extractives sectors, are involved in human rights abuses or environmental damage overseas.

While stories on these examples are sometimes covered in the press (though often are not), they almost never disturb the generally promoted view that the UK champions global development.

The term “rules-based international order” has entered the political lexicon in recent years and refers to international relations that are supposedly upheld by international law and accepted standards. The term is mentioned in 339 press articles in the last five years. The UK is invariably seen as a supporter of this order while those seen by the UK government as opponents, such as Russia and Iran, are conveyed in the press as the challengers.

An Observer editorial in July 2019 noted “the international rules-based order that post-war Britain has spent decades building and nurturing”. The Times defence correspondent Lucy Fisher contrasts Britain with “other nations less inclined towards a rules-based international order”.

Yet the UK is as much a violator of international rules as any official enemy. Declassified recently documented 17 British policies violating domestic or international law and the UN. This did not include UK policies in the recent past, such as the military interventions in Iraq and Libya.

Nowhere in the national press is the UK regarded as a “rogue state” in its foreign policy, the research finds. A search for the term “rogue state” in press articles over the past three years reveals a large number of mentions – 1,023 – regularly referring to North Korea, Iran and Russia, even with the occasional mention of the US under Donald Trump. The UK is not mentioned, however, apart from one article mentioning prime minister Boris Johnson as a “one-man rogue state”. Neither are allies such as Israel or Saudi Arabia termed rogue states.

An editorial in the Daily Telegraph notes, “The drone attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities have been blamed by America on Iran, confirming the country’s rapid descent into the ranks of rogue states”. To Telegraph editors, the US administration labelling Iran a rogue state is “confirmation” that this is true.

While serving to regularly misinform the public, the reach of the national press remains enormous. Alternative media are proliferating but monthly website visitor numbers to the national press are far larger: 310-million for the Guardian, 304-million for the Mail and 88-million for the Independent. These compare to 1-million visits per month for the Canary, the alternative digital news site in the UK with the most visitors.

Trump’s Trade Wars: A New World Order?

By James M. Dorsey

US President Donald J. Trump may not like armed conflict, but he sure loves economic warfare, whether it is to impose his political will on countries, protect sectors of the U.S. economy, secure more preferential trade terms, or stop others from gaining technological advantage.

The list of countries subject to sanctions or import tariffs designed to force changes in either economic, military, or geopolitical policies is long and includes both U.S. allies and rivals. Since Trump assumed presidency in January 2017, he has sanctioned China, North Korea, Russia, Venezuela, Iran, the European Union, Myanmar, Syria and Cuba. In one of his first actions after entering the Oval Office, he pulled the United States out of the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). (3). He has also sought to undermine the World Trade Organization (WTO), a US-inspired pillar of global trade. (4)

Mr. Trump’s liberal use of sanctions amounts to more than a penchant for economic warfare in an effort to create trade terms more advantageous to the United States. Economic warfare is the president’s strategy to shape a new world order that is likely to be multi-polar. Almost three years into Trump’s administration, it is proving to be a strategy with unintended consequences. Trump is not the only leader to discover that the employment of trade, commerce, and investment as not only an economic; but also political tool can be a double-edged sword.

So is Chinese president Xi Jinping as he confronts mounting anti-Chinese sentiment in Eurasia and greater competition on China’s border in the Russian Far East. Both leaders are forced to respond to external shocks, like mounting tension between Saudi Arabia and Iran in the wake of recent brazen drone and missile attacks on the kingdom’s oil installations. These attacks have led to a temporary cut of Saudi oil production by half, and are likely to change trading patterns, particularly in energy, not only of China; but also, of multiple other Asian states, including Japan, South Korea and India.

Trump’s protectionist penchant for economic warfare, 15 months before next year’s US presidential election, that breaks with 85 years of U.S. trade and economic policy that emphasized free trade and open markets, has yet to produce a foreign policy success. China and Russia, determined to counter U.S. power, particularly in Asia, have forged ever-closer ties. Iran and North Korea have demonstrated the resilience to endure harsh sanctions. Nicholas Maduro retains his grip on Venezuela while Europe is increasingly exasperated with America and discussing ways of improving relations with Russia to counter China. (5)

Trump’s renegotiation of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), renamed the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMC), weakened protections for investors in Mexico as well as government commitment to allow foreign companies to bid for procurement contracts. While building a review process to the Agreement, this policy has created a sense of instability. President Trump enhanced uncertainty by subsequently threatening to impose new tariffs on Mexico because he did not like the country’s handling of Central Asian asylum seekers. (6)

Former World Bank president, U.S. trade representative and deputy-secretary of state Robert B. Zoellick predicts that Trump is likely to continuously wage economic warfare and keep trade partners off balance. “He will not change. Trade…is a core issue for the president’s political base. He must keep it boiling,” Mr. Zoellick said in a Wall Street Journal Pp-Ed entitled “The Trade War’s Winners Don’t Include Us”. (7)

As a result, damage to U.S. credibility and ability to regulate the international political and economic order may outlast Trump’s sanctions and tariffs-driven policies. Countries like China and Russia are likely to expand trade relations with third countries, and shift supply chains at the expense of preferential U.S. access to markets. They may also defy U.S. secondary sanctions, which target third country companies and entities, which refuse to comply with, for example, sanctions against Iran, and initiate ways of undermining the global reserve function of the U.S. dollar.

U.S. losses are palatable. The TPP has lowered trade barriers for member countries (8) but not for the United States. The EU has gained preferential access to Japan (9) while China has retaliated with tariffs of 21.8 percent on U.S. products (10) and lowered them to 6.7 percent for others. (11) The U.S. Treasury has doled out billions of dollars agricultural exporters (12) who have lost significant market share in China that they will find difficult to recover. U.S. manufacturers are moving operations to third countries (13) to evade the impact of the U.S.-China trade war while foreign direct investment in the United States is dropping. (14) Chinese investment in the United States has plummeted in the last two years. (15) Meanwhile, India and the United States are erecting barriers of their own (16) that will negatively affect bilateral trade while negotiations with the EU are stalled. (17)

President Trump’s trade wars have reduced the United States’ ability to establish rules and standards that govern key sectors like medical services, finance, intellectual-property rights, data access and security; enable the fight against corruption and promote transparency; “This president disdains rules; he acts as if governments control purchases like in old-style mercantilism,” Mr. Zoellick said. “Trump thinks that trade policy at 3 o’clock in the morning,” added Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Saunders. (18)

Mr. Trump’s erratic approach towards policy-making and implementation implies bullying will do the job and vacillation between bluster and moderation has projected him as an unreliable and impossible negotiator. This approach showcases a sharp contrast to his self-styled portrayal of himself as the master of the ‘Art of the Deal’. At the risk of sparking the emergence of parallel economic worlds, one dominated by the United States, the other by China, President Trump assumes his trade war and efforts to block Chinese access to U.S. technology would sabotage President Xi Jinping’s ‘Made in China 2025’ program designed to make China commercially and industrially self-sufficient. Trump further sees his trade war as a way of halting China’s efforts to replace the U.S. as the world’s foremost, cutting-edge economy. Reporting on a recent visit by Mr. Xi to Henan Province, Communist Party newspaper reported the president had “urged the development of the real economy bolstered by manufacturing, with self-reliance as the basis of all endeavours.” (19)

Mr. Trump may be right in his identification of the threat that China poses to U.S. economic and geopolitical dominance. The problem is that his policy solution risks accelerating the process rather than pausing or reversing it. Rather than stimulating research and development needed to ensure an American lead, Trump seems to believe that undermining China’s abilities is the key. The threat of the demise of a global market and the rise of parallel markets appears to have reinforced Chinese determination to become self-reliant to the degree possible.

“A more competitive United States would be a stabilizing force,” said Ely Ratnert the executive vice president of the Center for a New American Security and former deputy national security adviser to Vice President Joe Biden, arguing that U.S. strategy should involve both engagement and containment. (20)

Differences between China’s response to U.S. sanctions on telecommunications equipment and systems maker ZTE Corporation that threatened to bring the company down and Huawei, another major Chinese telecom equipment manufacturer, suggest that President Xi has factored the emergence of parallel worlds into his thinking. Last year, he phoned President Trump to plead with him to lift a crippling seven-year ban on the acquisition of U.S. components by ZTE. (21) The ban, imposed in response to allegation of ZTE’s busting of sanctions against Iran and North Korea, effectively sounded the death knell for ZTE, which has a workforce of 75,000. Trump agreed to lift the ban in exchange for ZTE agreeing to pay a U.S. $1.3 billion fine, undertake sweeping management changes, and hire American compliance executives to monitor internally the company.

No such deal was available to Huawei, neither would President Xi be willing to accept another deal that he would have perceived as reminiscent of China’s historical humiliations at the hands of Western powers. Huawei has responded defiantly to U.S. sanctions, (22) the detention in Canada at the behest of the United States of its Chief Financial Officer, Meng Wanzhou, (23) daughter of the company’s founder, Ren Zhengfei, on charges of financial fraud, sanctions violations, obstruction of justice; and a global campaign to prevent companies from acquiring Huawei’s 5G technology. The reason was the company’s close ties to the military and security forces. (24) In line with what has been termed the decoupling of the U.S. and Chinese economies, Huawei introduced Harmony, its own operating system to rival Android; and make it less dependent on U.S. technology. (25)

In September 2019, the Trump administration took a further step towards decoupling with the proposed new rules, which would allow the United States to exert greater control over foreign investment, by broadening the government’s authority to block technology and real estate transactions. The rules would give the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, or CFIUS, greater power to stop foreign investment in areas the U.S. deems protected, a move that primarily aims to bar China from access to sensitive American technology and other valuable assets. Beyond technology, the rules would red flag investment in infrastructure, such as telecommunications, utilities and energy as well companies that collect sensitive personal data related to finance and health, particularly of individuals and/or federal employees involved in national security. Real estate acquisitions would be vetted on proximity to military installations, airports and ports. (26)

If President Trump has demonstrated his inclination to wage economic wars, his Chinese counterpart, President Xi, sees trade and foreign investment as a way of not only securing economic growth by imposing increasingly controversial commercial terms; but also, achieving China’s geopolitical goals and promoting its concept of an invasive surveillance state. With countries like Pakistan, Malaysia, Myanmar and Nepal questioning projects that fail to respond to local needs and fail to contribute to economic growth because they rely on Chinese labor and materials, China has conceded that it may have to make adjustments to a policy that by default rather than design could end up contributing to decoupling.

"It is normal and understandable that development focus can change at different stages in different countries, especially with changes in government. So China can also make some strategic adjustments when cooperating with these countries, but it is definitely not a reconsideration of the B&R (Belt and Road) initiative," Wang Jun, deputy director of the Department of Information at the China Center for International Economic Exchanges told the Global Times newspaper. (27)

Mr. Jun spoke as Chinese foreign minister, Wang Yi, was confronted on a visit to Islamabad with Pakistani demand that China should refocus its U.S. $45 billion plus investment in the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the single largest country infrastructure investment related to the People’s Republic’s Belt and Road initiative, to emphasize manufacturing and poverty reduction projects. (28) The Pakistani demand amounted to a rejection of China’s approach that appeared to position Pakistan as a raw materials supplier for China, an export market for Chinese products and labour, and an experimental ground for the export of the surveillance state China is rolling out, particularly in its troubled north-western province of Xinjiang. (29)

Elsewhere in Asia, some countries were putting their money where their mouth was. Chinese commercial terms prompted Nepal, like Pakistan to withdraw from a Chinese-funded dam project. (30) Furthermore, protests against the forced resettlement of eight Nepali villages persuaded CWE Investment Corporation, a subsidiary of China Three Gorges, to cancel a 750MW hydropower project. (31)

In July, Malaysia restarted the China-linked East Coast Rail Link project after forcing China to agree to downsizing construction costs by a third. The rail project, led by China Communications Construction Co. and Malaysia Rail Link Sdn., was cancelled in 2018 by Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad after he balked at the U.S. $16 billion cost. (32) The rail scheme was one of several projects, including a natural gas pipeline, suspended or cancelled by Mr. Mahathir after taking office in May 2018. (33) Similarly, Myanmar forced China to scale back its Kyaukphyu deep-sea port project from U.S. $7.5 billion to 1.3 billion. (34)

Even China’s approach towards trade with Russia, its closest ally, has sparked anti-Chinese sentiment and raised questions of whether the current state of affairs is sustainable. Chinese investment in Russia is a fraction of China’s investment in other regions like sub-Saharan Africa or South America and less than China’s expanding stake in countries like Nigeria and Brazil. A Chinese-Russian agreement on economic cooperation in Siberia, Russia’s Far East and China’s Northeast for a period of nine years ending in 2018 has fallen far short of expectations.

The agreement identified 91 joint investment projects of which only 11 materialized. (35) Similarly, energy failed to live up to its billing. CEFC China Energy’s plan to acquire a 14 percent stake in Russia’s largest, and majority state-owned, oil company, Rosneft, never happened. Neither did an agreed U.S. $25 billion investment in Russia’s Power of Siberia gas pipeline. The pipeline’s export of 38 billion cubic metres of natural gas is but one source for China that in 2017 imported more than 90 billion cubic meters from Australia, Qatar, and Turkmenistan.

Russia scholar Leo Aaron charged that the lopsided nature of Chinese-Russian economic relations fits the definition of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin of colonial trade, in which one country becomes a raw material appendage of another. “China is Russia’s second-largest trading partner (after the EU) and Russia’s largest individual partner in both exports and imports, for China the Russian market is at best second-rate. Russia ranks tenth in Chinese exports and does not make it into the top ten in either imports or total trade,” Mr. Aaron said. He noted that three-quarters of Russia’s exports to China were raw materials as opposed to consumer good, electronics and machinery accounted for the bulk of Chinese sales to Russia. (36)

More ominously, China starting in Central Asia, a crucial region that borders on its strategic but troubled north-western province of Xinjiang, is making deployment of its intrusive surveillance systems a pre-condition for investment; and in some cases appears willing to supply the infrastructure at no cost as part of a Smart City project developed by Huawei for initial roll-out in former Soviet states. (37) Huawei says the system, which involves installing thousands of security cameras equipped with artificial intelligence and facial recognition technology in public places, has been exported to 160 cities worldwide.

Liu Jiaxing, head of Huawei’s representative office in Uzbekistan, disclosed China’s insistence on adopting its surveillance approach in an interview with an Uzbek news outlet. “Investors will only go where the situation is stable. In view of this, the implementation of the Safe City project is very important for Uzbekistan as it will help the country develop its investment potential,” Liu said. (38) With no transparent regulation and oversight that ensure Central Asians’ privacy rights, China is likely to have access to data collected by the Smart City technology. Kyrgyzstan’s interior minister said data, one collected, would be handled at no cost to the government by Chinese National Electronics Import and Export Corporation, or CEIEC; a company believed to be tied to the Chinese military whose technology is deployed in Xinjiang, China’s surveillance system laboratory. (39)

The Middle East may not be at the core of the trade wars and policies that appear to be reshaping world trade. However, harsh U.S. sanctions on Iran and opposition to them by China, Russia and Europe have enabled Saudi Arabia and Iran to put their stamp on them. Devastating attacks in September on two Saudi oil facilities, which were claimed by Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen and blamed on Iran by the United States and Saudi Arabia, have prompted the kingdom’s major Asian customers to look at diversifying their supplies, which could force them to upgrade their ability to refine heavier grades of crude. “The key is to gradually get rid of heavy reliance on Middle Eastern oil. There is a consistent risk to oil supply from Middle East countries. China has been diversifying its oil suppliers,” said Zhu Guangming, an analyst from the consultancy Sublime China Information. (40)

China’s diversification options are Russia, the United States and Iran. Russia may be China’s safest bet as long as the U.S. imposes sanctions on Iran while the U.S. is tricky given the trade war. Trading patterns in the immediate aftermath of the attacks in Saudi Araba of Unipec, the trading arm of Chinese oil giant Sinopec, highlight China’s dilemma. Unipec was rushing in early September to sell U.S. oil it had acquired as China imposed a five-percent tariff on imports of American oil. Two weeks later, it was chartering ships to import U.S. light crude to compensate for Saudi shortfalls. (41)

A careful reading of Saudi and U.S. responses to the Saudi attacks suggests subtle differences between the two governments. They mask several emerging fundamental issues that could have far-reaching consequences for the Gulf’s security architecture and energy export focus. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and President Trump explicitly pointed the finger at Iran as being directly responsible, (42) while Saudi Arabia stopped short of blaming the Islamic republic, saying that its preliminary findings showed that Iranian weapons had been used in the attack. (43) Iran has denied any involvement. (44)

Saudi Arabia’s initial reluctance to unambiguously blame Iran may have a lot to do with Trump’s America First-driven response to the attacks, which appeared to contradict the Carter Doctrine proclaimed in 1980 by President Jimmy Carter. The doctrine, a cornerstone of the Saudi-U.S. relationship, stated that the United States would use military force, if necessary, to defend its national interests in the Gulf.

Trump’s apparent weakening of the United States’ commitment to the defense of the Kingdom, encapsulates in the doctrine, risks fundamentally altering the relationship, already troubled by Saudi conduct of the more than four-year-long war in Yemen and last year’s killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.

Signalling a break with the Carter doctrine, Trump was quick to point out that the attacks were on Saudi Arabia, not on the United States; and suggested it was for the Saudis to respond. “I haven’t promised Saudis that. We have to sit down with the Saudis and work something out. That was an attack on Saudi Arabia, and that was not an attack on us. But we would certainly help them,” Mr. Trump said without identifying what kind of support the U.S. would be willing to provide. (45)

Despite blustering that the United States was “locked and loaded,” Trump insisted “we have a lot of options but I’m not looking at options right now.” Mr. Trump further called into question the nature of the U.S.-Saudi defense relationship by declaring that “If we decide to do something, they’ll be very much involved, and that includes payment. And they understand that fully.”

At the bottom line, the structure of global trade is by design or default in flux with potentially far-reaching conclusions for international relations as well as political systems in various countries. The escalating trade war between the United States and China risks a breakdown in global trade as the world’s two largest economies contemplate encouraging the emergence of trading environments that they would dominate. Add to that, the impact of Mr. Trump’s penchant for economic sanctions, that in the case of Iran, have sparked escalating tension between Saudi Arabia and the United States that could reshape security perspectives in the Gulf and could lead to alternative flows of energy to Asia’s largest importers. The possible decoupling of the Chinese and U.S. economies would make it easier for China to politically align some beneficiaries of China’s Belt and Road initiative by imposing its concept of a 21st-century Orwellian surveillance state on them.

Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, in February, nearly 40 countries responded with coordinated sanctions against the aggressor. They had three aims: to cripple the Russian economy by limiting the ability of banks to access dollars and the US financial system; to curtail exports of hi-tech goods and services to reduce Russia’s ability to fight the war; and to target allies of the Kremlin and businesses. This unprecedented economic coercion has not been able to obliterate the Kremlin’s resolve for war or its economic capability. Nor have the sanctions crushed Russia’s standard of living. But look closely, and you will see that they are succeeding in systematically crippling the country, and remain necessary in order to bring the war to an end.

Russia’s isolation now that its supply chains are decimated, along with the mass exodus of an estimated 1,000 foreign firms, threatens its future growth and power projection. By limiting Russian imports, export controls have created a trade surplus. High energy prices have also raised demand for rubles. As a result, the ruble has appreciated 29% against the dollar..

Annual inflation peaked in April following supply disruptions, and then declined to 13.7% in September when the ruble appreciated on the back of petrodollars, lower consumer spending and import renewal. Russian growth is expected to fall by 3% in 2022, significantly less than the IMF’s earlier forecast of an 8.5% decline, which underestimated the cushioning effect of the surge in energy prices.

However, better-than-anticipated forecasts mask lower living standards due to trade barriers and divestment. For example, consumer spending on apparel, footwear and accessories fell by roughly 40% in the first week of October. Car production dropped by 37%, a casualty of the chips ban.Spending on required goods such as groceries was 15% higher than in 2021, while at the same time median salaries increased by only 7% between the end of January 2022 and the end of August 2022.

Continued receipts from oil and gas are keeping the economy humming along. The US and the EU plan to reduce oil revenues through a cap, limiting the price at which Russia can sell oil. The cap will work by denying insurance and other services to carriers shipping Russian crude oil unless it is sold at the price limit. However, Saudi Arabia has thrown a wrench in these plans by colluding with Russia to cut supply and increase prices. The impact of the US/EU plan remains to be seen.

But sanctions are having a demonstrable effect on Russia’s strength in Ukraine. A recently released report by the US treasury and commerce department shows that since last autumn semiconductor imports have fallen 70%, slashing Russia’s production of hypersonic ballistic missiles, surface-to-air missiles and other precision weapons. Chokepoint technologies such as bearings, vital for aircraft, tanks, automatic firearms, heavy artillery and submarines, have also been targeted and are in short supply with few substitutes.

Alternative suppliers with the necessary technological sophistication are hard to come by, according to the treasury deputy secretary, Wally Adeyemo. The broad coalition supporting sanctions means Russia is forced to source from technologically weak countries such as North Korea and Iran. China’s largest chipmaker, SMIC, says it has never supplied Russia and will not flout sanctions. By June, the global Russian Elites, Proxies and Oligarchs (Repo) taskforce had frozen $30bn of elite assets, and restrictions were subsequently expanded to military, finance, parliamentary officials and their families. Alongside this, there is a concerted effort to strip Russia of human capital. Many foreign institutions have stopped collaborating with scientists in Russia, and the Biden administration has invited Congress to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act in order to encourage Russians with advanced degrees to emigrate to the US. Some Russian elites, including oligarchs, want to stop the brain and money drain. But the structure of Russian oligarchy, divided between business and politics, limits influence over Putin. Following the Russian leader’s money trail is also notoriously hard, because it is either scattered across a network of enablers or is hidden in offshore tax havens or state-owned enterprises.

Hurting Putin may be beyond the reach of current sanctions, but hurting elites still hurts the Kremlin if the underlying economy or the country’s ability to wage war is damaged. While individually each of the sanctions has its weaknesses, they work through force multiplication. Restricting access to finance makes it less lucrative to operate and live in Russia, encouraging companies, prospective soldiers and Russian elites to leave. Cutting off access to global supply chains for cutting-edge technology makes it harder to attract foreign investment and foster research and innovation. Squeezing elites through asset freezes and property confiscations diminishes funding for homegrown alternatives to foreign technology. Striking at talent and science dooms Russia’s economic prospects and decreases the likelihood of military renewal via its industrial base.

Nearly eight months after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, these concerted measures have not been able to bring an end to the war – a predictable outcome that remains better than the alternatives. They have, however, drastically reduced Russia’s influence over the west (short of its commodity leverage and nuclear threats). Doing nothing, or negotiating a diplomatic solution, as during the 2014 invasion, would only embolden Russia in making further land grabs, while military confrontation with Nato countries risks generalised war.

Using economic coercion to deter and fight great powers is hard but not futile. Sanctions are a potent instrument for policing international order when deployed by the world’s first financial superpower and its allies. The chipping away will take time, but time is not on Russia’s side. The cocktail of sanctions, trade measures, travel and research prohibitions will spoil Russia’s war effort in Ukraine and ultimately its great-power status.

Some Pro-Russian bloggers had back Putin to restore the monetary system to be based on gold reserve like how that begin in USA, and they deride that USA which is using a Petrodollars monetary that is not bringing stability and peace in the world.

One of their biggest argument is that when US ulitize a lot of oil reserve from Middle East thus paying a very heavy economic price to stablizing the Middle East, but that never seems to work from Iraqi to Saudi Arabia's conflict with Yemen and to a hostile theocratic Iran, thus US is exporting it's debt all over the world. In contary, Russia Putin want to establish a system that is based on the gold reserve that would had nothing to do with the oil reserves in the Middle East. Here we saw how they apply double standard when they seems to forgot Putindollar is not really completely and solely depends only on the gold reserve in Russia, like US it also depending its economic on oil exports. With Russian economic is much less diversified than USA, when USA made computer hardware and software and electronic appliances and ran several of the topmost IT Technology company like Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Google... etc as well as the leader of global cryptocurrency economic. The US economies is productive in many different areas and oil accounting much less proportion than Russia economic, and under the good management of Putin it has been in downward spiral for many years and with the Western boycott the other exports are likely to sink. I had already said here that if the whole EU countries stopped buying the Russian oil in much earlier stage of Russian invasion of Ukraine then it may have been able to bankrupt the Russian economic or shock its course over the invasion of Ukraine. Yet it deem impossible when EU countries are too depending on the Russian oil to run its industry so oddly enough Western democracies are funding both for and against the invasion of Ukraine. EU has supplied the blood money for Russia to systematically kill, torture, rape, maim, jail forcefully deport Ukrainians. So is the nature of Putin's so-called gold reserve based monetary system. And US economy has at least some parts of it making really useful products and technologies which served humanity to better itself, while what it seems to me is Russia economic is depending largely on oil and war industry. It is anything but a good example to be set to the world of how a monetary system based on invasion and exploitation of its neighbouring countries.

How Do Economic Sanctions Work?

It was on Thursday that President Biden announced more sanctions against Russia, this time aimed at its financial sector. Russia’s biggest banks will be cut off from the U.S. financial system, and some of its biggest businesses, such as Gazprom, will not be able to get money from American banks. Economic sanctions are penalties that are imposed on a country, its officials, or private citizens, either as punishment or as a way to make people think twice about certain policies and actions. Trade embargoes and asset seizures are examples of economic sanctions. They can be used to stop people from going to the country or to stop them from exporting goods. By definition, sanctions are for people who aren’t easily subject to law enforcement by the country that is sanctioning them. For example, as a Russian citizen, President Putin cannot be tried by the law enforcement of the USA. But in order to still hold him accountable for certain actions, sanctions are imposed on his country’s economy. Economic sanctions are a policy tool that doesn’t use military force to punish or stop bad behaviour. They can be used all over the world, even if the sanctioning country doesn’t have a border. They can be costly for their targets because they will be cut off from global trade and economies. Economic sanctions can also be a weak and ineffective policy tool. They can have little effect on the governments they target and a lot on their most vulnerable citizens. It is because the U.S. and the European Union are the world’s biggest economies and trade blocs that they have a lot of power to use sanctions. In many ways, sanctions can be put on people, but they can also come in many different forms. Economic sanctions can be put in place by a single country or by a group of countries or an international organisation.

Sanctions can be used in multiple ways

When a country doesn’t want to trade with you, it puts a “trade embargo” on them. This means that you can’t do business with them, but sometimes there are exceptions for humanitarian reasons. It has been a long time since the United States has banned trade with Cuba, Iran, and North Korea. Export controls: Export restrictions stop the sale of certain products, services, and intellectual property to certain countries. They often limit the sale of weapons, technology that can be used in the military, or, as for Russia, oil drilling technologies and equipment. Capital controls: these can limit investment in certain countries or industries, or they can make it difficult for a country’s issuers to get money from other countries. There are many types of trade sanctions, and they can include import restrictions for certain countries, regions, or industries. Asset freezes or seizures: Assets in sanctioning countries can be frozen or seized, which stops them from being sold or taken out of the country. Travel restrictions: Officials and private citizens, as well as their immediate families, may not be able to travel to countries that have been punished.

Examples of sanctions

Economic sanctions against China include restrictions on U.S. imports from China’s Xinjiang region because of human rights violations against Uighurs. In 2014, Russia took Crimea from Ukraine, and the U.S. and the European Union also put sanctions on Russian officials, businesses, and companies because of the move. Economic sanctions against apartheid-era South Africa are often said to have played a role in the peaceful transition to majority rule there. Sanctions against Saddam Hussein’s Iraq, on the other hand, did not stop him from running the country and were called by some a “humanitarian disaster.”

In conclusion:

success of sanctions can be measured by how well they achieve the policy goals they were set out to achieve, or how much they cost the countries and people they target, if punishment is the goal. They can also make the people of the country they want to punish pay for it, as well as the businesses of the country that is being punished. If the goal is to change the behaviour of the countries and people who are being sanctioned, their incentives and options will play at least as big a role as the sanctions’ power. For example, in Russia’s case during this war, these sanctions will hurt Russian citizens economically. The Russian index fell more than 45% since the start of the war and sanctions are an indirect way of putting pressure on Russian citizens to oppose the rule of the President.

We are creating new World Economic System and Economic Model. In this new World Economic System and Economic Model Iran become Top Global Economic and Industrial Superpower of The World. Nations of Middle become Powerful World Economies and Industrial Powers. Combined Economic and Industrial Might of Middle East surpasses combined Economic and Industrial Mights of USA, China, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, and European Union. So Middle East Economy becomes more powerful than combined economies of current Economic Superpowers. We industrialize Iran, Middle East, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkey, Iraq, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Lebanon, Jordan, Yemen, Persian Gulf, Egypt, Sudan, Oman, Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Somaliland, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Jordan, Palestine, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain at max efficiency and max capacity. Priority is Iran. Second priority is nations which have borders with Iran. We and all others give Iran tech exclusivities, tech capabilities, technology, and advanced technologies. Iran will control many of the important Technologies and Tech Exclusivities. Iran sells high tech products Iran will manufacture to customers who need them. So Iran will have tech exclusivities that nobody else has them. Iran will also have tech exclusivities that only some actors have. Iran will be the only provider of many technologies. Iran will be also one of the couple of providers of technologies. Iran will be selling and providing technology products to customers who cannot purchase them from other manufacturers and tech providers due to sanctions. So if someone can not buy a high tech product or high tech part due to sanctions, tariffs, and other Mechanisms Iran will be selling those technologies. For example, if China cannot buy some semiconductor products due to sanctions then Chiba buys them from Iran.

Another very important part of New World Economic System and Model is rail roads, Roads, infrastructures, transit systems, transit corridors, and transit terminals of Middle East and Iran. These transit systems and rail Roads connect Iran and Nations of Middle East to each other. This transit systems and rail ways will connect Iran to China, India, Asia, Russia, Africa, and Europe. The transit system will go through Iran. Iran is allowed to stop the transit at all time. Iran must collect money for allowing transit through Iran and Middle East. Iran and Middle East connect India, Asia, China, Russia, Europe, and Africa to Iran. It will connect these regions to each other through Iran. This will make global industrial supply chains more efficient, faster, and some cases shorter. So industrial production will happen in a more efficient manner and in a shorter time. Because it takes one week to transit from China to Iran through Roads and Rail Roads. But it take one year to transit from China to Europe on ships and on water. So global industrial supply chains becomes more efficient by building infrastructures and rail roads in Iran and Middle East. We must also build Very Large Number of Industries, Factories, Manufacturing, Industrial Supply Chains, and other systems in Iran and Middle East near these infrastructures and rail roads to benefit from infrastructures and rail roads. It is most important to build industries, manufacturing, factories, economic activities, farming, commerce, trade, and other such systems near rail roads and infrastructures in Iran and Middle East to benefit from infrastructures.

We must also make sure all of the world stock markets synchronize to stock markets of Iran. Meaning if Iran stock market goes down all of the world stock markets must go down and crash. If Iran stock Market goes up other stock markets of the world will also go up. Iran must also have another more powerful and secure economic system in Iran to protect economy and industries of Iran. Iran also creates a Financial Capital and Financial Market in Iran between Persian Gulf and Caspian Sea. Iran will provide many financial services. Iran must benefit from this financial services. The income of this financial services cannot leave Iran. it must stay in Iran between Persian Gulf and Caspian Sea. They must not go to other regions of the World. Iranians must benefit from these financial services and products. Iranians must own this financial capital and financial market. One of the services of this financial Capital is lending credit. Iran needs one unit of money to lend 100 units of credit. So Iran creates 100 credits for every dollar Iran has. Then Iran lends these credits to collect interests from them. Ian collects interests from credit. Iran always get back the money and credit. For example, Iran has 1 dollar to lend 100 dollar. Then Iran collects then dollar interest within one year. Iran also takes back 100 dollar. Iran started with only one dollar. The income must always stay in Iran between Persian Gulf and Caspian Sea. The income must benefit Iranians and the income belongs to Iranians.

We also elevate Rial and Toman of Iran to world trade currencies. It means everyone uses Rial and Toman of Iran for trade, export, and import. Everyone uses Rial and Toman of Iran for petroleum trades as well. All trades happen in Rial and Toman of Iran. Rial and Toman of Iran replace USA Dollar.

Makan Abazari Shahan Shah Iran,

Makan Abazari The Messenger of God,

Makan Abazari The Supreme of Climate,

Makan Abazari The Supreme of Geophysics,

Makan Abazari The Economic Superpower,

Automotive And Security Segment Trends For the Coming Years

Pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies are making biometric vehicle access systems available to protect personnel and cargo in transport settings. An employee in the passenger seat of a commercial truck could be carrying weapons or dangerous chemicals. Drivers in buses, trains and airplanes have to make numerous stops every day to allow passengers to get off. Passengers would not be allowed to board if their identification did not match the fingerprint or voice recognition system read from the biometric vehicle access database. This would make entering restricted areas very difficult.

Biometric vehicle access systems would also prevent crime from occurring. With the use of biometric vehicle access research systems inside passenger vehicles, automotive companies can increase their fleet security and cut down on employee theft. With the potential for fraudulent use of biometric readouts, some employees may attempt to forge the signatures of authorized officers to gain access to restricted areas. Employees would not be able to board a train or airplane with a false fingerprint. By requiring employees to show their fingerprints or voice recognition ID when they enter a secure area, automobile manufacturers are reducing the potential for employee fraud.

The world is currently experiencing one of the largest advancements in biometric security technology in over a decade. Trends indicate that the global biometric vehicle access market will continue to expand at an accelerated rate through 2010. The two major factors driving this trend include increasing demand and security. High demand is due to the fact that biometric systems require minimal training for users and no special equipment or clothing to wear while accessing the systems.

Security is also a major factor in the forecast period because increased safety for people inside automobiles, along with biometric access control systems, could decrease the costs of insurance and eliminate the need for annual vehicle inspections. Insurance estimates are expected to drop 25 percent due to these biometric vehicle access controls. In addition to the insurance industry, transportation agencies and airlines are expecting to benefit from biometric vehicle access systems. This will allow passengers to make changes in flight schedules and improve airline passenger security. The airlines have the ability to identify passengers using biometric scans and reduce the risk of lost luggage and missed flights by implementing biometric screening processes.

Another research study that forecasting the global biometric market in the near future was prepared by an industry association known as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NISET). The association presented its study to NICE, the United Kingdom's government agency responsible for regulating the biometric technology industry. The forecast indicates that biometric technology applications are expected to reach over $1.5 billion by the end of 2012. This represents a tremendous growth in the biometric technology market and shows the potential demand that can be realized if a company can successfully capitalize on this growing market.

Based on the above research studies, it is evident that the UK and other global markets can realize significant benefits if biometric vehicle access control systems are implemented. However, biometric technology is not a silver bullet. It does not eliminate all potential security challenges. Companies need to incorporate other security measures in order to achieve full deployment of biometric technologies. This is the reason why the forecast for the coming years shows growth in the global biometric technology sector.

The research team projects that the Vehicle Biometric Vehicle Access System market size will grow from XXX in 2020 to XXX by 2027, at an estimated CAGR of XX. The base year considered for the study is 2020, and the market size is projected from 2020 to 2027.

The Origins Of The COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic From Adam Shane Lawes

In August 2019, I ate Italian-Australian goats milk feta food that was bought in Melbourne, Australia from the Italian-Australian LaManna Supermarket in Essendon, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. And later that night, within six hours of eating it, I woke up from my sleep extremely physically ill. As after eating it I woke up with severe and painful deadly physical jolts going through me that were painfully physically nearly killing me. And I also had uncontrollable and constant vomiting, and I also had uncontrollable and constant diarrhoea, and I also had a slightly hot but mostly painful extremely shivering cold fever, with painful terrifying physical deadly jolts that kept going through me that kept nearly physically killing me. And the severe and painful deadly physical jolts going through me that were painfully physically nearly killing me, and the uncontrollable and constant vomiting, and the uncontrollable and constant diarrhoea, and the slightly hot but mostly painful extremely shivering cold fever with painful terrifying physical deadly jolts that kept going through me that kept nearly physically killing me would not stop, as it kept painfully continuing and nearly killing me. So I went to my doctor and he immediately sent me for full pathology tests including on my blood, urine and faeces. However those full pathology test results dated the 3rd September 2019 could not detect the virus that was causing it as every test came back as unknown. But back at home bed-ridden I remained extremely physically ill, shivering in physical pain with a painful extremely shivering cold fever then slightly hot fever, and continual uncontrollable and constant vomiting, and continual uncontrollable constant diarrhoea. So I stayed at home, shivering in physical pain with an extremely shivering cold and slightly hot fever, and continual vomiting, and with constant and uncontrollable diarrhoea, and with a slightly hot but mostly extremely painfully shivering cold fever, with painful physical deadly jolts that kept going through me that kept nearly physically killing me. And then after 28 days and nights of lying in bed with constant uncontrollable vomiting and constant uncontrollable diarrhoea, and a slightly hot but mostly continual painfully shivering extremely cold fever, and deadly physical jolts continually going through me that kept nearly physically killing me, eventually I thankfully finally got better. And I was then able to leave my home again 28 days later once I was fully recovered. And despite the fact that every pathology test that I had said the viral cause was unknown, because at that time it was an unknown virus. This was the first case of the COVID-19 Coronavirus that has now horrifyingly turned into the COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic. And then the following year on the 11th March 2020 the current COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic was declared by the World Health Organization. With the COVID-19 Coronavirus initially having already spread on a national level in Italy, with Italy wrongfully and falsely blaming China. As it was from Italian-Australian goats milk feta food from Melbourne, Australia that the COVID-19 Coronavirus started and then spread globally, and turned into this COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic. And by August last year in 2020 here in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, a State Of Emergency and a State Of Disaster was declared, with necessary stage four restrictions, including the wearing of mandatory masks, and necessary public stay at home orders, and a necessary night curfew, and our military necessarily patrolling our streets.

So everyone please focus on HEALTH and stay strict and stay safe, especially with food. Because this extremely infectious and deadly current COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic, started from either negligently contaminated or deliberately criminally infected Italian-Australian goats milk feta food that was somehow infected with the COVID-19 Coronavirus, which was bought from the Italian-Australian supermarket LaManna in Melbourne, Australia, and which nearly physically killed me before it then caused this COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic. And everyone please wear a face mask at all times, as the COVID-19 Coronavirus is now able to be spread through infected air droplets. However the COVID-19 Coronavirus is still the most transmissible through the way it started, which was through either negligently contaminated or criminally deliberately infected food, and also now through infected and contaminated contact surfaces.

So it is vital for people globally to stop blaming China for this extremely infectious and deadly COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic. As in June 2021 Facebook necessarily further banned Donald Trump for endangering public health, by deliberately misleading people, for falsely blaming China for the COVID-19 Coronavirus, in order to deceivingly try start a trade war with China. As the COVID-19 Coronavirus did NOT originate in China. As the COVID-19 Coronavirus originally started in Australia in August 2019 from either evilly deliberately or criminally negligently contaminated Italian-Australian goats milk feta food that was somehow infected with the COVID-19 Coronavirus, with the first pathology test done on the 3rd September 2019. And then the COVID-19 Coronavirus was proven to then be also in Italy in 2019, before it was then recorded in China from Chinese tourists who had travelled to Italy.

So from now on tourism, which is a dangerous and horrible, and environmentally harmful, and unnecessary and unhealthy industry that contributed to the spreading and continuing of this current extremely infectious and deadly COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic, must now necessarily end. As all inessential travel must now cease, and in this information age of the world-wide-web global internet we must now use digital diplomacy instead.

And we now please need an allied global investigation into the origins of the COVID-19 Coronavirus, in order to necessarily find out how Italian-Australian goats milk feta food became infected with the COVID-19 Coronavirus, that then caused this extremely infectious and deadly COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic. And I understand China rightfully and necessarily banning Australian animal exports and other unhealthy exports from Australia, including climate change causing coal from Australia. However I please ask that China, as Australia's largest trading partner, will remain as Australia's trading partner in exports essential to technologies and industries to evolve and save our planet earth. Such as the Australia Government Clean Energy Finance Corporation (CEFC)which recently invested $US7 million dollars in the Chinese Solar Corporation "Sunman", which will hopefully increase even further, Australia and China's diplomatic trading relationship. As there is already a close alliance between China and Australia that needs to be globally created with the help of Australia, China, the United States Of America and Russia. As Australia has recently signed the "Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP)", which is the world's largest trade deal covering 30% of the global economy, with 15 countries involved including Australia, China, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand and the ten members of ASEAN The Association Of South East Asia Nations. So now it will be extremely beneficial to the global economy and world peace, and the United States Of America's worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, if the United States Of America and Russia were to be part of the "Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership" with China and Australia. As we now need to create a close global alliance with China and Russia, and also increasingly create an allied global economy, by getting the United States Of America and Russia to please also join the "Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership". And also include China and Russia in future War Games with Australia and the United States Of America and all of our allies, which along with the "Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership", will also help prepare us all for a necessary war against our evil enemy Iran and Shia Islam. As Iran has abandoned the JCPOA Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action and illegally enriched uranium to develop nuclear weapons to destroy our planet earth and eternally destroy all of our souls in Armageddon. So we must now globally end our use of fossil fuels and our use of uranium and nuclear energy, and instead quickly begin to transition now to clean renewable energy.

So until this extremely infectious and deadly COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic is over, everyone needs to please stop all non-essential travel and stay at home, including when legally told to mandatorily do so. As until this extremely infectious and deadly COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic is over, it is necessary to legally globally outlaw all nonessential travel. Which includes a necessary transition for all students to online learning instead, because many students learn more studying online, and also because the COVID-19 Delta is extremely infectious, harmful and dangerous to children. And in this information age of the world-wide-web global internet, it is now necessary to transition, for both practicality and health and safety reasons, to global political digital diplomacy instead. And people must work from home whenever possible, including for health and safety reasons in this extremely infectious and deadly COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic. And also because it is better for the employer as they save on expenses, and it is also much better for the employee, as they get to work at home in their own environment, so they are more productive, including because it also saves employees on travel time and travel expenses, and it is also better for the environment as it saves on the use of fossil fuels. As the use of fossil fuels are not only harming and destroying the environment and our entire planet earth, but carcinogens from fossil fuel cars are also destroying people's health and lungs and causing cancer and death in people.

And it is also now necessary for all businesses to necessarily mandatorily move to an online sales model and a digital cashless society, using only electronic payment for hygienic safety, and to also necessarily end all organised crime and corporate fraud, in this extremely infectious and deadly COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic. And also to outlaw organised crime, and for the health and safety of Australia and our entire planet earth, no one can now necessarily visit anywhere, nor buy or sell anything, unless they use a mandatory QR Code. As due to the severity and the immediate transmission of the current COVID-19 Delta, this is now necessary and vital for accurate and precise contact tracing. And also now in this extremely infectious and deadly COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic, and also because humans are far too intelligent to have do manual labour, and also because manual labour is far too physically harmful and damaging to the human body. We now need all food and other essential item manufacturing stores, to now necessarily transition to online retail sales, and also automation and manufacturing through robotic mechanisation. In the same way the British online supermarket delivery corporation Ocado uses automated robotics warehouse distribution centres. And also in the same way that the Japanese FamilyMart supermarket has necessarily begun using a robot resembling a kangaroo invented by the Telexistence company, that is able to do the mentally mundane and physically heavy and harmful, but necessary manual labour supermarket work that is required to necessarily get the population hygienic, healthy and safe food and other essential items. As it is vitally necessary mentally mundane and very physically heavy and horrible manual labour supermarket work that is required to necessarily get the population of any state, territory and country, the hygienic, healthy and safe food and also other essential items in and beyond this extremely infectious and deadly current COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic. So everyone please safely shop online instead, including when purchasing food and other essential items. As online sales are the most efficient, economical, practical and safest and hygienic way to sell and purchase not just food and other essential items, but also the most productive, efficient, safest and hygienic way to buy and sell anything.

And please necessarily mandatorily use an appropriate country's government COVID-19 Contact Tracing App, which for Australia is the Australian Government COVIDSafe App. And the Australia Federal Government now needs to update the Australian Government COVIDSafe App so it necessarily records every contact, due to the immediate transmission capability of the current extremely infectious and deadly COVID-19 Delta Coronavirus Lineage Variant that is now spreading rapidly through our entire planet earth, including rapidly through the state of New South Wales and also here in Victoria right now. And then the Australian Government COVIDSafe App can be necessarily made mandatory for all Australians for contact tracing, otherwise the Australian Government COVIDSafe App is unfortunately virtually useless for contact tracing.

And if you are permitted outside, please always use a mandatory State QR Code App, when visiting any venue. This includes using a mandatory State QR Code App when purchasing food from supermarkets and any other food stores, including restaurants and cafes, and when visiting any venue including all shopping centres, all sporting venues, including necessarily all sporting stadiums, and also in all pubs, clubs and places of worship. As a State QR Code contact tracing App is now necessary for all venues and businesses, especially where people buy food and other essential items, for the purposes of contact tracing to protect people's health and safety, and to save lives. By being able to necessarily contact trace people as quickly as possible during any COVID-19 Coronavirus outbreak, to detect the COVID-19 Coronavirus transmission as thoroughly and properly and as efficiently and as quickly as possible. In order to then necessarily quickly isolate people to prevent further transmission and infections of this extremely infectious and deadly COVID-19 Coronavirus.

And the Australian Federal Government now needs to necessarily suspend all repatriation flights into Australia, except for compassionate reasons only, until the Australian Government has finished necessarily building purpose built quarantine facilities for repatriating Australians, most of which are dual citizen Australians who only want to temporarily return to Australia because the countries that they migrated to are currently now much worse than Australia is, in this extremely infectious and deadly COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic. And the temporary suspension of repatriation flights into Australia is a decision that has to be made. As it is vital to protect the health and safety and lives of Australians, and to prevent otherwise inevitable continually reoccurring lockdowns, like most Australian states and territories are continually in. So Australia must now necessarily immediately temporarily suspend all repatriation flights of returning Australians to Australia except for compassionate circumstances. And also for health, safety and humanitarian reasons, we must now make sure those returning Australians are still preparing for when it is their time to again be able to get on a repatriation flight to be able to return to Australia, by legally requiring them whilst they are waiting overseas, to have a mandatory safe and effective mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine before they are allowed to return to Australia. Which is vital for the health and safety of their life, and also the health and safety of the lives of Australians, and to prevent the otherwise inevitable continuing cycle of state lockdowns in Australia. And the quarantining of anyone for the COVID-19 Coronavirus, now needs to be extended to a minimum period of 28 days, as the COVID-19 Coronavirus lasts for a minimum of 28 days. And this necessary 28 day quarantine period includes current COVID-19 Coronavirus facilities, and also the purpose built quarantine facilities, that now need to be quickly built in each Australian state and territory. And obviously the cost of now necessarily quickly building specific purpose-built quarantine facilities in each Australian state and territory, is much more economical than what an even short state lockdown costs the economy of our states and territories and our country.

And it must never be forgotten, that before Victoria Police began necessarily guarding quarantine hotels here in Victoria, people escaping hotel quarantine here in Victoria resulted in a strict state lockdown last year that also required the assistance of Defence Australia and which lasted 112 days, because over 20,000 Victorians contracted the extremely infectious and deadly COVID-19 Coronavirus that then killed 820 Victorians. So the use of Police Officers to necessarily ensure QR code compliance and all other COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic public health and safety laws, must never be viewed as a waste of police resources to fight crime. As the use of Police Officers to ensure and enforce COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic health and safety orders and laws is necessary to protect the health and safety of Australians and to save Australian lives, in this extremely infectious and deadly COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic.

And we must also now be stricter with food and food safety hygiene laws. As this extremely infectious and deadly current COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic, started from either negligently contaminated or deliberately criminally infected Italian-Australian goats milk feta food that was somehow infected with the COVID-19 Coronavirus. And everyone please always use a legal strong sterilising hand sanitiser and a strong surface steriliser, as the COVID-19 Coronavirus is now also extremely infectious and contagious through infected and contaminated contact surfaces.

So everyone needs to be fully vaccinated as soon as they are able to with the safest and most effective COVID-19 Coronavirus Vaccine. Which in Australia is the safe and effective mRNA Pfizer-BioNTech Comirnaty COVID-19 Vaccine. And there are now thankfully more and continuing shipments of the safe and effective mRNA Pfizer-BioNTech Comirnaty COVID-19 Vaccines that will soon be arriving here in Australia. So besides necessarily following the medical advice from both the Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) and the Therapeutic Goods Administration. It is best for people to necessarily stay strict and to stay safe, and necessarily wait until it is there time to be able to go and get vaccinated with the safest and most effective COVID-19 Vaccine available to them, which in Australia is the safe and effective mRNA Pfizer-BioNTech Comirnaty COVID-19 Vaccine. As in the last 21 weeks since Australia's COVID-19 Pandemic Vaccinations necessarily started on the 22nd Of February this year, the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccine has caused three deaths in Australia and 77 Australians to be hospitalised from the hospitalising and fatal Thrombosis and Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS) blood clots, that the cheaper, inferior and deadly Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccine causes. Including after Christian students at St Joseph's College private school in New South Wales were allegedly accidentally vaccinated in May, which was much earlier than other priority age groups, with the slightly more expensive, but necessarily safer and far more effective mRNA Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Comirnaty Vaccine. Because in the past 21 weeks since the 22nd of February, there has now been a third death in Australia that has occurred, and a total of 77 Australians who have been hospitalised in 21 weeks, from the Thrombosis and Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS) blood clots that the cheaper, inferior, dangerous and deadly Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccine causes. So the Australian Federal Government, like it necessarily did during the trials of the Queensland University COVID-19 Vaccine, that unfortunately proved to be unsafe. And also like many countries already necessarily have, for public health and safety and to save lives, now needs to also necessarily immediately stop using and ban the inferior and hospitalising and fatal Thrombosis and Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS) blood clot causing Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 Vaccine. And the Australian Federal Government now needs to necessarily quickly build the infrastructure required here in Australia to manufacture the safe and effective mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines. So because it will now take until next year to finish building the infrastructure required to then manufacture the production of the mRNA vaccines here in Australia. The Australia Federal Government now needs to necessarily continue to purchase from Pfizer, the required amount of slightly more expensive, but importantly necessarily safer and much more effective mRNA Pfizer-BioNTech Comirnaty COVID-19 Vaccines to quickly necessarily vaccinate the population of Australia as soon as possible. As over 3 billion people have now been necessarily vaccinated globally against the extremely infectious and deadly COVID-19 Coronavirus. And the safe and effective mRNA Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Comirnaty Vaccine has been proven to be the safest and most effective COVID-19 Vaccine, including with no cases of the hospitalising and fatal Thrombosis and Thrombocytopenia Syndrome (TTS) blood clots.

And the Australian Federal Government needs to make the COVID-19 Vaccine mandatory for all frontline quarantine staff and border staff and all other essential workers, including interstate truck drivers and other essential interstate workers, just as the Western Australian State Government Premier Mark McGowan, has already necessarily done for essential workers in Western Australia. And also countries, such as France, are now necessarily making the COVID-19 Coronavirus Vaccine mandatory for all workers. Whilst countries globally are necessarily making a COVID-19 Vaccination mandatory for entry into any venue for public health and safety and to save lives, in this extremely infectious and deadly COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic.

So everyone please get vaccinated as soon as you can, with a safe and effective COVID-19 Coronavirus Vaccine. As I have now necessarily been fully vaccinated with two vaccinations of the safe and effective mRNA Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 Comirnaty COVID-19 Vaccine. With my first COVID-19 Coronavirus Vaccine of the safe and effective mRNA Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 Comirnaty COVID-19 Vaccine occurring on the 1st of June 2021. And then I had my second dose of the safe and effective mRNA Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 Comirnaty COVID-19 Vaccine 28 days later on the 29th of June 2021. So I am now fully vaccinated with two doses of the safe and effective mRNA Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 Comirnaty COVID-19 Vaccine and I had no side-effects at all.

And also after being fully vaccinated with the safe and effective mRNA Pfizer–BioNTech COVID-19 Comirnaty COVID-19 Vaccine, I still necessarily also continue to wear a face mask at all times and social distance at all times. And I also necessarily went from being vegetarian to becoming vegan.

As this extremely infectious and deadly current COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic, started from either negligently contaminated or deliberately criminally infected Italian-Australian goats milk feta food that was somehow infected with the COVID-19 Coronavirus.

So everyone please go vegan, and continue to wear a face mask, and please get fully vaccinated as soon as you possibly can with a safe and effective COVID-19 Coronavirus Vaccine.

In order to necessarily end this extremely infectious and deadly COVID-19 Coronavirus Global Pandemic. Thank-You From Adam Shane Lawes.

Theatrical Key Technology allows the attraction to change and move along with the guests so you never know when the action will stop or go back to the main attraction. Theatrical Key Systems are also very advanced in the way that they interact with guest's existing shows, allowing them to seamlessly add elements to their shows and events. Another incredible feature is that these systems allow you to connect with any of the hundreds of pre-programmed attraction themes and many of the previously released seasonal attractions from previous years as well.

Theatrical technology is what really sets Oceaneering apart from its competitors. Other companies simply use themed entertainment as a way to increase ticket sales and bring in extra revenue, but Oceaneering takes it a step further by utilizing state-of-the-art technological innovations that allow the rider to interact with and control the show from their seat. This innovative approach has allowed Oceaneering to introduce some of the most popular theme-based attractions in the industry, including The Refresher, Polar Express and The Pirates of the Caribbean. All the great features of other Oceaneering entertainment systems research combine together with the quality of live entertainment provided by a host of rock climbing, surfing, roller coaster specialists and stunt team leaders, giving guests the most thrilling experience while on vacation at one of their favorite resorts.

Theatrical and themed entertainment systems are not the only things that you can take advantage of when you are on vacation, however. Several Oceaneering resorts offer several other attractions that may be just as much fun no matter whether you choose to stay at one of their four star rated hotels or a family operated ranch. For instance, the Graco Rebound Park gives parents and children alike a chance to experience nature's best along with the opportunity to build and race their own doggy race tracks. For families that prefer indoor activities, the World's Largest Yachting Park and Aquapark Central Park provide hours of fun for families of all ages and provide the perfect opportunity to get away from the crowds and enjoy some alone time with your child or pet.
