I could
not stop myself from giving my point of view on the G7 show that is being played
out on the UK stage.
The G7 اضافة اعلان
The actors on the
G7 stage in
Cornwall, UK are known as the great seven nations of the world; masquerading as
purveyors of egalitarianism in a self-styled club. These countries are seen as the
flagships of modern democracy and includes America, the UK, Canada, France,
Germany, Japan, and Italy. Maybe they should prefix the word “Western” or “Anglo-Saxon”
to their names, as I do not see among them any nation that is not an ally of
America.
They only account for 10 percent
of the world’s population yet claim to be representing the interests of the world
at large, just because they make up 40 percent of the world’s GDP? How can this
be and where are countries such as China and Russia in such important negotiations?
It seems the G7 is a selective, occidental hegemony of states with no room for
those with a divergent opinion. Democracy, it seems, is just a mantra played to
exclude those with governance systems of a different genre.
Talks of vaccination against
COVID
have been rife during this summit, yet those that have been vaccinated in poor
countries is less than the population of the town of Cornwall where the summit
was held! How ironic!
American-British partnership and
partnership with the private sector
We saw how act one of this political
satire started with a meeting between Biden and Johnson, who reiterated what I
have always said; that the only special relationship America has is with the UK
(the same as the Russian-Chinese relationship). Biden stood alongside the CEO
of Pfizer, hailing the company as the savior of the world, praising American
technology and its people’s spirit of generosity and sacrifice to deliver the
vaccine in record time to save the world from the COVID doom. Biden added that
the US, in partnership with Pfizer, would buy half a billion doses and donate
them to the world's poorer countries. This world, where the vaccination rate is
currently 85 percent in rich countries and a mere 3 percent in poor ones.
It is all about the economy
It is all about the economy,
ladies and gentlemen, not the coronavirus nor humanity. Don’t let the
tumultuous rhetoric fool you. The compassionate US will lead you all, without
discrimination or conditions, and knows what is best for you! It is the
trillions of dollars that US companies have made, which is, of course, the real
agenda here. The US along with its G7 allies will continue to milk the COVID
cash cow well into the future under a humanitarian narrative. This has already led
to a growth rate in the US economy of more than 6 percent and will certainly
grow as time goes on.
When I said from the beginning
that it was necessary to vaccinate all humans, I asked that this task be
entrusted to the World Health Organization. Why did Biden decide that it should
be a donation from him to the poor countries? Out of tenderness and love for
the G7 summit? Is there an agenda to divide the world into two camps; the givers
and the needy? Is this really the future of the world? Moreover, how do the
Chinese and Russian vaccines fit into all of this?!
The coronavirus will be around
until at least 2022
Biden finally announced, in the
name of United States, that the coronavirus would not end unless all humans
were vaccinated, and set a deadline for this by 2022. He announced at the
summit that he wants to vaccinate every human being on the planet. This will
see the US coffers overflow at the expense of you all!
Those who follow my articles would
remember that in the first few months of the epidemic, I said that we would
have to live with the coronavirus for at least four years. I was then accused,
among other things, of being pessimistic.
Preventive research
The summit pledged about $30
billion to preventive research for epidemics and to produce vaccines for them
within 100 days. It is well known that medications usually need years of laboratory
work to be produced, which then undergo strict rounds of safety testing. Is
this pledge for new viruses or variants of the current one, or is it to
counteract the negative effects of the current vaccine? I ask you President
Biden, to whom and for what was this pledge made?
We need 11 billion doses, not 1 billion
Why remain silent until now and
not announce what international scholars having been saying for some time? Why
did Biden not announce that if we want to vaccinate all humans we would need 11
billion doses, not the 1 billion the summit pledged? President Biden surprised
me as he kept repeating the 1 billion number, which represents a small fraction
of the world's population. Why did President Biden not address how much money
these doses would generate for US economy? He also didn’t say who would foot
the bill for these doses. While we are still waiting for the outcomes of the
summit, I believe we will become more confused and will never understand the
financials of this opaque arrangement.
Where are China, Russia, India,
and other countries in all this?
With the world “greatest” seven
democratic countries meeting at the summit, it is ironic they forgot to include
the world’s oldest democracy, which is India, whose population is close to the
sum of the citizens of these seven nations. The attendees of the summit also
forgot the non-western, Chinese and Russian economies, but that is another
story!
America is back
We will see more of Biden’s US
leadership in the implementation of his slogan "America is back",
rather than Trump's "America First" slogan. I say this because I can
see that the purpose of this summit is to strengthen the ranks of the Western
alliance led by America, in the face of China and Russia, specifically the
“Belt and Road” initiative.
It is a tough job because of historical
American-European differences. This is an important story that we need to
return to, as the leadership of the world is the business of the entire world.
The humanitarian vaccination
project will lead to the prosperity of the Western economy
The G7 countries, led by America
and Britain, have devised a plan to get out of the stifling economic crisis
they are experiencing through the vaccine deal. They will see their economies boom
at the expense of the whole world and will have no option but to accept and be
spectators in this game of global profiteering. There will be winners and
losers in this plan by the time it achieves its goals, even if it is wrapped
with the coating of humanity.
It will be interesting to see how
this story unfolds on the world stage.
“See you in 2022”, as President
Biden has promised us.
