stuff, but seeing directly upon the radio, active materials inside the react to see what was you know, this is completely different from the quantity water which does not touch the coal, the inside of the nuclear reactor. both fuel wants to g 2 to be 3 jewel by confusing applewood, orange and po to pump. so by the tricky of is an attempt to hide behind, to treat him so that mankind does not pay attention to the other several, thousands of b, u. s. 2 elements, this is the trick and they played this trick ed's game to that, that's a bunch of mankind's counts and the integrity of international global ocean system . well, last o for this new though, as always, is great to have your company here on, on the i'm from on the

russian states. never as tight as i'm one of the most sense community best most i'll send send up the in the 65 to 5 must be the one else calls question about this, even though we will then in the european union, the kremlin mission, the state on the russians cruising and split the supposed net, keeping our video agency roughly all the band on youtube tv services. for what question did you say from stephen twist, which is the, the,

the american voters are rarely interested in the world policy during election cycles. said the issue between maybe the exception this time around, particularly among

t o p voters, much of the republican base us our w brain policy. they see it as vice for the hello. i'm a no a chan. you're tuned into modus operandi. today will it's for one of the world's most exclusive clubs. they exist but not officially. and there are strict rules to enjoy, but their founding was based on an outdated model of the world.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. after joining, you must meet certain domestic economic criteria. put plainly, you gotta 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 define democracy. now i understand that definition has constantly moving goal 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 capitalist 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, the 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 tons the action. first . let's review the latest g 7, summit 2023, which took place in at ocean by 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 elicit

knowledge leakage and sabotage in the digital spear, we are firm our shared responsibility and determination to coordinate on preventing the cutting edge technologies we develop from being used to further military capabilities, the threatened 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 old 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 do much failure because uh, we heard that very shortly afterwards he was on the phone to vladimir boots and, and know that boiled price is what talked about. so the oil price cap is but one attempt by the g 7 to control of the countries to control their modes of development to control their democracies and g 7 for g 7 just read major. the idea, it was a 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 meeting the russian, it was a, was a telling 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, wounded or displaced from was enough canis johnny rock libya, syria, and, and so on. and attempts it goes all around the world. you have 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 out of good settlements who 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 at the g 7. those the global south, 13 trillion dollars in development and climate assistance. so actually the g 7 wouldn't be the g 7 is that they did use. well, the g 7 do is a daily us for deaf debt from the poor countries in the world, at a rate of $232000000000.00 a day in a 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 loaded? where's the once the 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 stoughton sanctions. because obviously we know that they freeze people's money and threatened to give it to the landscape. that's what they have been saying. they've frozen 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 and go to school and get textbooks and use jewel use graphite pencils and the like. so the lensky arguably shouldn't be there. the sympathizes clearly with his forces on the ground . i like to neo nazis in ukraine. and so therefore, he is the most 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, [000:00:00;00] the, at the end of the 18th century, great britain began to conquer and colonize australia. from the very beginning of the british penetration to the continent, natives were subjected to severe violence and deliberate extra patient. according to modern historians, in the 1st 140 years, there were at least 270 massacres of local depot. any resistance to the british was answered with double cruelty. hundreds of natives were killed for the murder of one

settler. indigenous australians were not considered complete people. no wild beast of the forest was ever hunted down with such unsparing perseverance has they are men, women and children are shot when ever they can be met with squatter, henry myrick wrote in a letter to his family in england, in $1846.00 plus strategy as bad as these rightly described as blood soaked in races. if at the beginning of colonization, there were one and a half 1000000 indigenous people living on the continent. then by the beginning of the 20th century, their number had degrees still 100000 people. despite the indisputable historical facts, the problem of full recognition of the crimes of white australians against aborigines has not been resolved so far. the accused prompt of being engaged in various foreign corrupting scams and now it's coming out that dividing family was taking money from almost anybody around

the world to line the pockets by them. you know, the by the democrats accused 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 do. the, [000:00:00;00] the solutions may be able to turn the atrocities in other countries. united states of america is different. wherever people long to be free. they will find a friend in the united states. the

need to be an automated body bolts, anybody phase the solar city, and teach all the look at me for the in service of each skid 18 color revolutions is one among staff full means to reach the goal of conquering foreign lands and bringing them onto the help of us western economic interest people been cited adding that to, to, to everybody, democrats, yeah, we think portal active. so know the best se, notice of what i mean. he can see the final goal. these seem revolutions to ensure that there are no independent players in the world anymore. the, the welcome back to the m. o i, manila champ. there's a prominent think take here in the us called the council on foreign relations. that

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 see a far think tank carries great weight when they issue commentary of 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 and 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 clearly of even the council on foreign relations, which is just the spooks inc tag, even may recognize the g 7 rule as a percentage of the global gdp is folding. it really must be fully. and if g 7 nations like germany are already and 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 overtake 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 economic 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 up a capital more than now or scotland,

you're going to see the g 7 countries is going completely the other direction that the rest of the world is going on, which is really why. anyway, breaks 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 were talking, they backed them, 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, the wood block, in terms of geopolitics comes from graham. she and he always said that was political in the 1st place. so even though the shanghai cooperation organization might say, oh, we know 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 the declining economic power. there are declining g d p as a proportion of global gdp. it is the political cloud in trying to over throw 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 id, you're all so deliberately sabotaging any kind of democratic values in the global south. so they benefit those d 7 elite any it's within the g 7 countries because obviously the people who move 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 i'm calling 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 um, 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 as a major as a charger and rules of the road because in nature that means north atlantic treaty organization. and last time i looked at a map of gather some sit on the the, these countries on 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 it shot, you 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 this 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 the 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 what i'm doing, you get you or is as done as regards the war in the center of europe as the united states fights russia, 3 ukraine despite when people think of entering your gutierrez, maybe we can provide something of what the principles of the life of nations were. obviously, we know from edward snowden, with the american intelligence that was a bug senior you in 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 breaks. it is going to be a multiple, the world devoid of the sanctions on the attempts and all bill being a no blame. but the economies of the global south that that was 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. 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 though it's ringo biden's phone calls about any kind of symmetry. every time the state department spokesman, his daddy press conferences, is us. when are you gonna have that meeting with the chinese? what does that spite balloon story destroy relations publicly 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 i possibly would want to join the g 7 and the new countries. brazil would literally 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, action. 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 consequence of 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 united, the world against the g 7 countries. i go back to this estimate by the british n g o l sam. because the idea that these g 7 countries, oh, 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 sitting over for the most grading is drive is one to route going. yeah, these are the 7 most important because 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 office. yeah. as you mentioned actually would be,

they've united the world against the g 7, the g 20 countries. most of them are very suspicious of g 7 countries. that motives and their attempts ads trying to benefit those g 7 countries, elites of 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 host manila chan. thank you so much for tuning in and we'll see you again next time to figure out the m. o. 2

a, [000:00:00;00] the, or take a fresh look around there's a life kaleidoscopic, isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real opinions. fixtures designed to simplify will confuse who really wants a better wills, and is it just as a chosen for you. fractured images presented to this, but can you see through their illusions, going underground? can the american voters are rarely interested in the world policy during election cycles,

but a said the issue between maybe the exception this time around, particularly among t o p voters, much of the republican base us our w brain policy. they see it as findings for the the, the problem says, present, my boss says he's a boy, a movie division in the, by the echo us 12 and as locals in the i'm a voice that and again, look for the new power. i don't see the point for the french ambassador or for from here the i'm saying in our country understand the french survivals of states. but since we don't want them, they have to be divided 7 signers. i'm about to move
