Jerm Warfare - Pepe Escobar on the importance of BRICS

Jerm and Pepe Escobar, a veteran Brazilian journalist renowned for exposing the shadowy underbelly of global power structures, convened in a cafe within the Old City of Kashgar.
Pepe elaborated on his 40-year career in on-the-ground journalism—from navigating conflict zones to revealing concealed geopolitical machinations—emphasising that authentic understanding arises from direct immersion, unlike the majority who now rely on remote, filtered data streams controlled by entrenched interests.
He examined the ascendant influence of China and Central Asia, Russia's calculated manoeuvres against Western hegemony, the BRICS coalition as a subtle insurgency against dollar dominance, the Belt and Road Initiative forging alternative trade corridors to evade imperial constraints, and the impending disintegration of the West's faltering edifice, engineered by elite factions clinging to fading control in an emerging multipolar order.
