BRICS Summit: A Brazilian’s Take on the Geopolitical Talk of the Planetary Town

The most glaring feature of Brazilian national agenda is the 'quest for relevance'

While I wasn't aware of that at the time, growing up on a peripheral country was helpful in shaping who I was to become, because it made me look outward, search for other cultures, other languages, other stories.

All I knew is that the local mindset and field of reference did not cut it for me. That's how my inter-cultural adventure began.

Five and a half years ago I made the grand leap of believing that I could be writing about geopolitics for an international audience, and that I had to be part of the information war.

While I occasionally write about ”hot-blood city, purgatory of beauty and chaos" Rio de Janeiro - and Brazil in general, I have been focusing on tackling the big planetary stories the best I can, rather than be twisting the readers' arms in a continuous effort to make them pay more attention to Brazil than they'd want to.

But now that Brazil has got a bit of visibility in the world stage - for good and bad reasons - I felt it would be nice to address the upcoming BRICS summit from a Brazilian perspective.

Brazilians are mostly liked by other nationalities, but seldom respected and never feared. That is not great.

Truth of the matter is that if they don't respect you much and don't fear you at all, then you know you won't get ahead on the Geopolitical front.

Brazil is aiming for a UN Security Council permanent seat ever since it was first created, to no avail. Permanent seats are for respected and feared folks.

In every UN General Assembly, the first country to speak is always Brazil. It's not a written 'rule', but a tradition that goes back to the first Assembly.

All of us uninformed Brazilians took for granted that this was an honorable thing, some minimal recognition of our intrinsic value. I only recently found out to my dismay that this came to be because, in the Middle of the Cold War, no one wanted to speak first - so we Brazilians volunteered. The 'nice guys'. So much for our intrinsic value.

In terms of Foreign Policy, the most glaring feature of our national agenda is the quest for relevance. We feel we deserve a much bigger place at the table of the international discussions - although I, for one, would be hard pressed to explain exactly the reason why.

Having become a conservative in the early nineties, for a long time I molded my political identity in terms of 'left and right', and it took me a good long while before I opened my eyes for the Globalism and its associated plagues, from climate alarmism and transgenderism all the way to full blooded Satanism.

So when the BRICS started its journey, under the second term of the Lula government, I took one look at it, decided it was a leftist Komintern-like association, and paid no further attention to it for a long time.

Ever since then, I learned more about the world - oh, so much more. I learned about the deep-state castes imbedded in the government apparatus - both in the US, in Brazil and most western countries. I learned about the transnational elites and their nefarious plans for the planet, from trans-humanism to 'eat ze bug' and eugenics.

If you put any effort into studying these groups and families, you'll soon be able to notice the work of their political puppets in a variety of world affairs. And you'll notice that many of these wire-controlled characters are on the right side of the political spectrum.

And then you delve more into the 'Forever Wars' and the power of the Military Industrial Complex, and you start to look at everything with a new eye, and suddenly, 'is it left or right?' is NOT the absolute first question you ask yourself in every case.

Ever since the onset of the Biden administration from hell, I knew he was going to embrace horrible agendas in all areas. I looked at the G7: Biden, Macron, Trudeau, Sunak, Scholz… what a sad collection of supervillains.

So, when all the liberal and globalist overlords decided in unison to condemn Russia as an outcast, I knew I had to take a long hard look at the Russian's case, since these devils never attack anyone unless the target has something good to offer.

At first, I admit that I had an utilitarian regard for Russia as the iceberg in which the ship of Globalism was going to crash into and sink.

But I learned the Donbas reality, the horrifying very real Nazi regime in Ukraine, and revisited the situation regarding the illegal NATO expansion to eastern Europe.

Following many Russian sources, I also got immersed in the culture, and could not help but remember all the short stories by Pushkin, Turgenev, Gogol, Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Chekov, and others that I loved as a young adult.

'I kinda like these Russians more than I expected to.'

Most of all, I decided to be for the country who rejected the liberal ways of desecrating religion, tradition, the family, sexuality.

If you take the Satanists head on, you can be sure I'll be standing by you.

So, now, I can't help but see the BRICS group in a different light. I have sympathy for the countries, even if they all also can be problematic for me.

To list Russian and Chinese issues would take all day, but even South Africa is killing the white Boer farmers, and India lets Hindus kill Christians, parade their women naked and rape them. Not cool.

But they are still a better bunch than the demons who are owned by Soros, Schwab and the other shady planet overlords. I mean, Macron was a Rothschild banker, for fuck sake.

So, I'm all for BRICS. For us, Brazilians, remember, it's all about the 'relevance'. As a member of the club, we got some clout.

Of course, now China wants to insert dozens more countries into the group, and, as a MSM writer described, with 40 more countries, it will challenge even the world's best scrabble player to come up with an acronym.

It probably will not start with a 'B'.

Itamaraty, Brazil's foreign ministry, is against it. Lula, who never ever cares about national priorities, is in favor of certain 'friendly' countries, notably hyper-inflation ravaged Argentina. But this, my friends, is now, with peronist Fernandez. If libertarian Javier Milei wins the upcoming election Lula will ditch Argentina, because the former convict rebirth as a leader only cares about his ideological buddies.

While we expect as much as two Lunar landings (Russian and Indian) to take place right during the Johannesburg summit, other momentous but earthly developments like the announcement of a common, gold-backed BRICS currency is unlikely as of now.

Te be honest, the BRICS put former impeached Brazilian president Dilma Houssef as the new BRICS Bank president, and that basically kill its credibility for me. Ask any conservative Brazilian about Dilma on BRICS bank, and watch even the most gentle smile in disdain for the frankly incompetent Dilma.

Once again, for us it's about the clout. Let's savor it while we can. If a few consequential countries like Iran, Saudi Arabia and Belarus are accepted, 'it's goal!', as we say in soccer-crazed Brazil. If they invite dozens, our presence will be diluted and will mean nothing.

Who knows, maybe they'll let us be the first ones to speak…
