Key Notes
Jiang interprets BRICS Plus as an effort to build a financial system that can counter the U.S. financial system and thereby threaten the dollar order.
Jiang says China's proposed gold corridor would use distributed gold vaults as the basis of a new financial system.
Jiang says the financial system's problem is too much printed money and too many paper millionaires, so elites need to destroy excess wealth to regulate individuals.
The GCC is described as a linchpin of American empire because petrodollar oil sales are recycled into U.S. financial markets in exchange for American military protection.
Jiang says the real U.S.-China conflict is over finance: America wants China to liberalize its financial system so Wall Street can gain asset control and thereby help prop up the dollar.
Jiang says Britain's financial empire depends on controlling trade routes and exporting internal contradictions outward; without that imperial-financial shield, British social conflict would have erupted much earlier.
The host argues that France lost out because it used conventional finance while Britain used financial alchemy, and he speculates that British maneuvering helped intensify the French Revolution and Napoleonic chaos.
