lines, but their founding was based on an outdated model of the world, so their membership is actually shrinking. today will be discussing the g 7. who are they? what do they do? and why do they still exist? all right, let's get into the m o the they get together for an annual meeting and jointly decide who they will impose financial pain and pressure on the group of 7, better known simply as the g 7. now to join, you must meet certain domestic economic criteria. put plainly, you've got to be rich, your country, that is your g d p has to be one that can inflict pain on others. if you take this financial path or another. next, you have to be so called

a democratic society. your mode of governing has to, in effect be in line with how western countries defined democracy. now i understand that definition has constantly moving gold posts, but regardless, you have to be considered a democracy. the last major tenant to join the g 7 block is this. you have to be an industrialized capital. busy society, your country's economic philosophy must be based on capitalism. good or bad? i'm not making that distinction for you, but the g 7 requires your country's economic model. be a capitalistic one. the members today consist of these countries. in the united states, canada, u. k. germany, france, italy, and japan. as recently as 2014, the g 7 was actually the g 8. the group kicked out russia after crimea voted to

secede from ukraine and joined the russian federation. russia was a member from 1997 to 2014. so to talk more about what this existing group does, how they wield their power and so forth, will bring in veteran journalist, host of the international show going underground action with times the action. first. let's review the latest g 7, summit 2023, which took place in at ocean la japan and they were the chair of this year summit. so unsurprisingly, the meeting revolved around in the pacific issues. more specifically, the role of china in the region. the groups communicate has now been released and it reads in part like of this, quote, a building on our resolve in l. now to increase vigilance and enhance our cooperation to address risk that undermined global security and stability. we

will enhance collaboration by launching the coordination platform on economic coersion to increase our collective assessments preparedness deterrence and response to economic coersion and further promote cooperation with partners beyond the g 7. we will deepen our strategic dialogue against malicious practices, to protect global supply chains from illegitimate influence espionage, a listed knowledge leakage and sabotage in the digital spear. we're firm, our shared responsibility and determination to coordinate on preventing the cutting edge technologies we develop from being used to further military capabilities to threaten international peace and security. but that was a mouthful. okay, action. it doesn't take a genius to read between the lines here. they are referring to china,

implying that china has engage in what they would call economic co workers and of sorts. but isn't that precisely what the g 7 themselves do? i mean, look no further than the g 7 price caps on russian crude. it's absurd, isn't that i mean, altogether when the whole idea of the g 7 is containment of, of the countries progress and development. i mean, the fact that it was only the other day, a g 7 for administer anthony blinking was inside of your a be a desperately trying to order around. mom had been settlement to too much failure because uh, we heard that very shortly afterwards he was on the phone, letting me boots in and know that boyle price is what talked about. so the oil price cap is but $1.00 attempt to buy the g 7 to control of the countries to control the modes of development to control the democracies and g 7 for the 7 just

read nature. the idea of it was russian of all places where that's the only atomic bombs to kill so many thousands of people. hundreds of thousands of people when japan, it already surrendered in world war 2. in any case, the idea that the v 7 should meet in the russian where it was, was a telling the attempt to try and show power around the world because it failed. so what's the relevance of the g 7 today? i mean, they have a g 20, doesn't the existence of the latter supplant? the former or you know, is the smaller grouping this exclusive grouping? it's better because it's so exclusive. it is an exclusive club, the g 7. because if you think about it, they have a disproportionate amount of blood on their hands. a given to the g, 7 nations comprise those that committed such, made him all around the world. tens of millions killed or wounded or displaced from

was enough canis johnny rock libya, syria and, and so on and attempts it goes all around the world. yeah, the g 20 is 3. 5th of the will population. and who did everyone come running to up to lehman brothers went bust to the 20th a price is not the g $7.00 because it was the crime was committed for which settlement advocate settlements were made. were in g 7 countries, but it was a g. j a n d meeting that really came to the forward to try and desperately save the from the predatory capitalism that includes worldwide recession and slum. so absolutely, i think the, the, it's clear that the g 20 is more representative and i should just say a british engineer walks fans of the g $70.00 is the global south, 13 trillion dollars in development in climate assistance. so actually the g 7 wouldn't be the g 7 if they did use. what would you 7 do,

is the daily us for deaf debt from the 4th countries in the world, at a rate of $232000000000.00 a day in refigured debt, but saving to call the trillions they owed for what they've done to the developing world countries, they wouldn't be g 7, they wouldn't be the 7 most powerful economic countries in the world. they'd be debt to even more designations than they are now. a. yeah, excellent point on the financial crisis of 2008. so this so called exclusive g 7 club, they invited ukraine to attend their summit this year. ukraine is not a member state, nor does it meet the economic bar for accession, not before the military operation and certainly not after. i mean, does this country even pass muster as an economic driver in the world? why was born, where zalinski invited to attend this year? oh, usually zelinski is a products of langley virginia and the military industrial complex in the united

states. so perhaps you did have the right to be at the g 7 and he is emblematic and what the g 7 are infamous for. for most of humanity that is staffed and sanctioned staffed and sanctions because obviously we know that they freeze people's money and threaten to give it to zalinski. that's what they have been saying. they froze and russian. let me g 7 countries have stolen money from venezuela and of course it's the g 7 countries that a sanctioning desperately sanctioning economies trading with russia with venezuela, with i mean how many sanctions does the do g 7 countries have against other countries in the world trying to target that population so that the children go to school and get textbooks and use jewel use graphite pencils and the like. so the lensky arguably should be there. the supervisors clearly with his forces on the ground, i like to neo nazis in ukraine. and so therefore he is and then bloom of g 7 values

and the fift and mud and sanctions. the v 7 is known for coming up next david rockefeller's legacy. think tank the council on foreign relations has made some interesting comments about the g 7 block. as of late. we'll discuss it when we return with action returns. the 5th type, the m o will be right back, the the,

the, the, the other than this one,

the was packet putting you. in addition, you are a special fit for, to publish them onto this patient. the ethics, the name on zillow, both. oh my non payment was hoping to show on the bill. i bought the vehicle so they almost have to do one in school full. i know you said it was good loosely because always smoking stuff. so go to the defense, the little scar a sonya and boyfriend you a law suited us dollars from the moment they have still have yet. and the minute

she had dreamed of going back with the start of rushes, special operations, there was renewed hope they'd see they native city again the the accused trump of being engaged various foreign corrupting scams. and now it's coming out of the binding family. it was taking money from almost anybody around the world to line the pockets by them, you know, the by the democrats accuse trump of various, the sexual misconduct. there's all kinds of allegations circulating 5 in concerning that, in the concerning far worse misconduct. and so i think what you see is a lot of construction to project and what they accuse trump of is what they themselves the the welcome back to the hmo. i'm vanilla chan. there's a prominent think take here in the us called the council on foreign relations,

but dates back to 1921 founded by david rockefeller, grandson of the american oligarch, or sometimes described as robert baron john d. rockefeller. now david was an unofficial adviser to every us president from eisenhower to nixon and is said to have influenced a great deal of how the world is organized today. so his csr think tank carries great weight when they issue commentary action red tons, the host of going underground is back with us. thank you for sticking around action . so according to the council on foreign relations of all places, they recently put the aggregate g d p of this block at roughly 44 percent of the global economy and nominal terms. that's actually down from 70 percent just 30 years ago. the trend is not going in the blocks favor. if we put the g 7 toe to toe

against emerging bricks, nations who emerges victorious. i clearly agree with the council on foreign relations, which is just a spoke sync tag. even may recognize that g seven's role as a percentage of the global gdp is folding. it really must be fully. and if g 7 nations, like germany are already in recession, the proportion of global gdp is clearly desperately following because it's rising in other countries like russia and china and the brakes countries. and i think on pvp relative pricing. what is it? the bricks? nations have overtaken the g 7 in any case. so yeah, increasing of the g 7 is shown to be what it is. it's not even the can only powerhouse of the of it is known for at home in the g. 7 nations for growing and a quality slow, and it's still being life expectancy. in some cases in the largest prison. you know,

if you look at the united states imprisoning the cabbage in more than an hour, scotland, you go to see the g 7 countries is going completely the other direction that the rest of the world is going on, which is clearly why. anyway, bricks is something that everyone wants to join, isn't it? yeah, see how far dest spiral predictions isn't that something? so let's talk about the groups, identity crisis. now they were formed in 1975, we're talking back then they were called the g 6. it was the us, france, italy, japan, u. k. and then back in west germany, the alliance was actually formed to address recession sparked by the growing strength of opec to counter opac. now, economic concerns were the primary purpose. but before long, cold war politics crept in. it would appear,

we have come full circle action after russia was kicked out of the block in 2014 and they joined back in $98.00. so which is it? is this group, and economic block or a political one? it's an interesting question where the blocks of political or economic that would block in terms of geopolitics comes through ingram. she and he always said that was political in the 1st place. so even though the shooting i cooperation organization might say, oh, we don't political brick. so it's not political multiple, our, it is no political of course it is. and the g 7 is absolutely political because of g 7 nations each. so each of when it comes to the mass, it was in iraq, afghanistan, and syria, and so forth. and the wars against anything different, any different economic model, that's what defines the g 7, not just that declining the economic power of their declining gdp is a proportion of global gdp. it is the political cloud in trying to overthrow

democratically elected leaders all around the global south in latin america in africa and south east asia in the caribbean. that's what defines the g 7. it's ability to covertly hiding from their own popular g 7 populations. the i, we're all so deliberately sabotaging any kind of democratic values of the global so . so they benefit those g 7 elite any it's within the g 7 countries because obviously the people in those g 7 countries a suffering terribly from, from what's going on. so it's a political grouping, like many others, but the kind of politics it, practices a. well, i mean, what's the politics i get some people might say like capitalism as a complement to what too many in the global south suffering today see is g 7. so a polling record of mass killing, torture and the creation of mass and equality in countries around the world. right?

i mean, at this point, money seems inextricable from politics, doesn't it? so it may come as a surprise to many of the viewers, but the g 7 is technically an informal grouping. there is no permanent secretary at no charter, no purpose that is set in stone. for example, nato has a charter, a rules of the road and a destination if you will. but the g 7 has none of these. now i'm struggling to understand why it exists and healthy out here. yeah, it's funny you saying they do as a charger and rules of the road because nature means north atlantic treaty organization. and last time i looked at a map of ghana, some sit on the the these countries aren't near the atlantic. what is the nature of peacekeeping force in cost of it for a sort of in the atlantic ocean? is it but any, any days? if the g $7.00 doesn't even have a charge to,

doesn't even have any kind of rules whatsoever. then why not just fold it into nato? as the rest of the world sees nato as his belligerent grouping. and in any case, that's what nature represents. in terms of uh, um, funding and, and the like. so just follow the g 7 in tomato because you can only clean the declining geopolitically the declining what they have is that military might and then usually a weapons. so yeah, i think a folding, g 7 is an age, it wouldn't be a bad idea. and then we can just get on and realize that the g 20 and who knows even the united nations, despite the, the, what i'm doing, you get you air is as done as regards the war and the centre of europe as the united states fights russia through ukraine, despite when people think event, when you get there, as maybe we can revise something of what the principles of the life of nations were . obviously, we know from edward snowden that to the american intelligence. so it was

a bug senior, un personnel for the past as a way for full the g 7. it's an a to revive the un look at the g 20 and the u. n. is the future. when of course, what we know as a reality is it is going to be brakes, it is going to be a multi pull the world devoid of the sanctions. i mean attempts and all bill being a no blink. but the economies of the global south at that one of the g 7 actually do try and make people suffer. yeah. rest in peace. she said, yeah, well there is talk of japan joining nato as well. and last i checked, japan was still in the pacific. and now one of the rules of membership or accession into g 7 is that your economy has to be capitalistic. but given china is obvious, economic gains under

a communist government. the last 40 plus years and, and by many various measures, has become the number one economy in the world. when it behooves the g 7 to revise its rules to joining this unofficial club. but even if they did, do you think china would even care to join? isaac, china would want to join the g 7 would have given that it's not even answering jo biden's phone calls about any kind of symmetry. every time the state department spokesman is danny press going with this is us. when are you gonna have that meeting with the chinese? what does that spite balloon story destroy relations approximately between the united states and the world's largest creator of goods in the world, superpower in terms of tackling in the quality and obviously, the world's economic superpower in a few years time. why would it want to join the days of it? i don't think it possibly would want to join the g 7 and the new countries,

brazil with blue luna probably would. but china joining the g 7. i don't think it particularly would one to it would necessarily join, i suppose, just because of those gdp numbers. but as you say, they define something cool. capitalism as part of the requirements. whenever capitalism is given, the amount of government subsidy to bailout the banks and joints you 8 was, i mean that was pretty state just was like, alright actually and so to summarize, the g 7 is unofficial. there is no charter or secretary at their goals. vacillate between economic prosperity and political pressure. their joint economic strength has vastly diminished over the last 30 years. yet last year's summit in germany focused on russia this year on china. could we make the argument that this unofficial block has had the unintended consequences?

pushing these 2 superpowers together, which would actually, i guess defeat the purpose of existence. i mean, of course if it had one, the nicest thing one can ever say about the g 7. is that united the world against the g 7 countries? i go back to this estimate by the british and g o l sound because the idea that these g 7 countries owe the rest of the world. so a teen trillion dollars by their estimations. given what they've done and taken from the rest of the world, shows that at the core and the root of what the g 7 is, it is too big is believe that the so called mainstream media is sent over for this most craving is john is wonder out going, yeah, these are the 7 most important power. these are the 7 most economically important powers that are talking about a rule based order that govern the world. why did they even both? so as you say, the nicest deputies off as young, as you mentioned,

actually would be they've united the world against the g 7, the g 20 countries. most of them are a very suspicious of g 7 countries. that motives and their attempts ads trying to benefit those g 7 countries, elites at the expense of the rest of the world action returns a veteran journalist and host of the show going underground. thank you so much for your time today. thank you manila. all right, that's going to do it for this episode of modus operandi the show that digs deep into foreign policy and current affairs. i'm your house, manila chan, thank you so much for tuning in and we'll see you again next time to figure out the m. o. the

take a fresh look around his life kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power, a good division with no real live indians. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse really once a better wills, and is it just as a chosen few fractured images presented as 1st? can you see through their illusion going on the ground? can some nations may be able to turn a blind eyes to atrocities. another comes, the united states of america is different. wherever people longed to be free, they will find a friend in the united states, the,

to the automated route, 80 volts, and a very, very easy sort of the city encourage. all you look at the in service of the secret 18 color revolutions is one among several means to reach the goal of conquering foreign lands and bringing them onto the helm of us. the western economic interest simpleton sided adding that he did to everybody, the democrats, the new training portal, acted sol, suite of us a little bit. so why would i maybe get the final goal of the steamer of allusions to ensure that there are no independent players in the world anymore? the the cost of rick sanchez and i'm here to plan with you. whatever you do. do not watch my new

show seriously. why watch something that's so different? several opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to planes or do they have the state department c i a weapons, bankers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. i changed and whatever you do, don't marshall state main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called stretching time. so i guess you probably don't wanna watch it because it might just change the wayne state. i look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. a robot must obey the orders given it by human beings, except we're so shorter is that conflict with the 1st law show your mind anticipations. we should be very careful about visual intelligence at the point, obviously, is to trace a truck or rather than shit, the various jobs. i mean, with the artificial intelligence,

we have so many with them in the a robot must protect his phone. existence was on the after the end of world war 2, the national liberation movement, it'd be an intensified dramatically having driven away the japanese occupiers. the vietnamese patriots by no means wanted the return of the former french colonizers. but brands did not want to lose the rich colony and decided to beat the opposition by board. in december 1946, a full scale war broke out. the main victory addict organization led by

o g min inflicted heavy losses on the french. the invaders were enraged. according to western historians of the 250000 lives of peaceful v and these were on their contents. the colonialist widely used the practice of mass rape of b. it means women as revenge on the gorilla. in 1947, the french destroyed the village of knights rock murdering 170 women, and 157 children. however, terror did not help. in 1954, the vietnamese is defeated the french army, and the decisive battle of gen, being food, almost $12000.00 french soldiers and officers, including the commander general de categories. and his command staff were captured, that ca, visualization of a huge garrison at a demoralizing effect in europe. the french laughed vietnam, but they were replaced by even more violent and much stronger invaders. the

american hard times were awaiting vietnam. again, the headlines on off the international china block, so visit by a senior japanese government official committee. ald freight drove a tote, chose release of waste water from the devastated food to shame. a nuclear power plant that is designed there also boils throughout pacific nation has over this while the world bank states russia is g d p raises a head of european giants, germany, and france. the use foreign policy chief desperately tries to come to convince the public that well the sun sions against russia was also in the program to he is off of the tyler bond sweat factor. powered off the dentist on following the us withdrawal, we get an exclusive interview with a spokesman for the government who says that.
