It started as BRIC without South Africa in 2001 when the word was formed by Jim O’Neil of Goldman Sachs via a paper presented to the UN “The World Need Better Economics”. The brick foundation of the acronym was later laid by the initial four countries of Brazil Russia India and China, the world catalyst for all that was anti West primacy and or supremacy.

The suspicion therefore hinged on the intentions and wishful thinking of derailing the influence and impact of the world super economic powers of the UK, Germany, USA and other countries that made the G7 consortium. The resolve, – championed by China happens upon an alternative to the super economies – became imperative and as a matter of urgency.

Lady Dilma Roussef of Brazil. Then the President of Brazil jumped on the frenzy to truncate the mighty powers of a long standing ally in the Americans. Of course she has since become history for daring to be a party to the emerging Chinese conspiracy against the US. She was the most vociferous town crier of all times for the establishment of an unessential cleavage

China had always looked for ways and means to counter the influence of the West on the world economy – The Jim O’Neil paper may have had some finger prints of the Chinese. All the currencies of the G7 countries reigns supreme and tower well above the Chinese Yen – and that was despite the advancement of both the technological and economic development attained by China in the most recent immediate decades and still waxes strong before President Trump came on board to curtail and whittle down the Chinese threat. – which was not competitive and could not match up with money exchange that takes place on world economy stage. With the world money exchanging on the super monies such as the US Dollar, the The English Pounds Sterling and the German Dutch Merck. The most dominating of the world monetary policies and fiscal programs.

The conspiratorial drive was giving some impetus and buoyance by the prediction that China would become the world first and biggest economy with India taking the third position by the year 2050.

OF COURSE THE Goldman Sachs’s PROPHESY DID NOT TAKE COGNIZANCE OF THE EMERGING Trump PHENOMENON, OR A TRUMPLIKE PERSONALITY.

As it appears and stands now. President Trump – the man who took on the world and by the storm – dealt a big blow to the Chinese inordinate over ambitious craze for supremacy for the world most superior power.

Had the Chinese studied world history would have discovered that no conspiracy against the superiority of the West ever made it to the finish line. Nothing made it to the challenge of the Dollar and Pound Sterling not minding other silent currencies of the Germans, the Canadian Dollar with the Swiss Francs which most people believed to be neutral and an unalloyed ally.

BRICS went into limbo – particularly at the exit of Dilma of Brazil from the world scene – at a time until 2023 with a renewed vigour for the summit in South Africa. When you crave an idea to counter another or subsisting functional and effective paradigm. You need to be fair minded and not engage in shadow chase.

BRIC started as an envious ulterior motive. The body of desperados later courted other countries to sustain drowning visibility as a matter of presence to keep afloat. Following the strategy and footstep of the adversary you wish to dethrone means and further confirms the real intention and the goal of propagating a rival to with. It took a cue from the tactical expansion of the Group of seven most industrialized countries which attracted emerging economies of the world, targeting the growing and developing third world countries.

The G7 invited Russia into the fold after the decimation of the Soviet Union from which Russia was picked by the Western powers to represent the defunct USSR. It became G8 0r G7 plus Russia and later G7+ by which it was expanded to incorporate other economies beyond the frontier of the reserved interests of the super economic powers.

Why would China lure Russia as a co-conspirator to opt to form a parallel market force with the view of alternative forex to compete with and or outwit the foreign exchange currencies of the West? A fashion against the US-led international order for preeminent dominating market force.

THE WORLD HAS WITNESSED THE FORMATION OF NUMEROUS OTHER COMPETETORS TO THE WORLD ECONOMIC POWERS BEFORE AND AFTER BRICS, WITH NONE MEASURING UP TO THE PROWESS OF THE MASTERS.

The more discontentment would be further discontentment fuelled by the decision to adopt which of the currencies of the BRICS as the official exchange measure. Which will be allowed dominate others. If they were to trade in the adopted member currencies and with the West being a trade partner and ready market. How would the forex exchange take place and in which currency? It definitely has to be in the established money, because I do not and cannot fathom how the West would abandon their advantage point to the fledging wavering rivalry of a gang up.

More discontentment within the fold of the leading conspirators. While some wanted and crave expansion, some did not. With the idea seeming inimical to the opposing anti expansion elements.

Including, the Western powers had applied a restriction on the leading master conspirator. Putin of Russia dare not leave his conclave and travel outside the choice less confinement in Kremlin.

SUCH IS THE POWERFUL FORCE MITIGATING AGAINST THE MOTION OF BRICS AND THE FORESEEABLE REASON IT MAY NOT WORK OUT.

Which would be their clearing houses like the IMF and the World bank. The world recalls that it took the government of the Democratic party led by President Bill Clinton to enable and facilitate the admission of China into the WTO.

They are re laying the bricks of BRICS which seems bound for crumbling and crumples. it relapsed at a time and went into snooze silent mode. the renewed struggle to regenerate resuscitates and reinvigorate a limping tired horse that was never meant to live in the first instance by casting wider net to attract more conspiracy tendencies still remains a mirage and precarious and farfetched.

BRICS is still a dream in a pipeline after decades of its formation. With some of the invited countries like Nigeria – a regional market force – indicating she is yet to sign on to the plate of discontentment of a building with falling or un-holding bricks. This is a fatal blow to the 2023 summit in South Africa and yet another indication of another setback for the falling bricks of BRICKS.

Much as the AIER – the American Institute of Economic Research – SCREAMED an headliner. The Rise of BRICS-11. https://www.aier.org/article/the-rise-of-brics-11. The optimism of the opening paragraph was to be a soul search for the initial purpose goal and drives of the body that set out to create or recreate a new world order of international trade relationship.

It may have discountenanced the fact that Conspiracy consumes, gang up kills, and discontentment destroys, eventually and ultimately.
