On Thursday, at the St. Petersburg International Legal Forum, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, asked her participants to answer the question of whether they envy the Americans, who were able to create a structure that actually made the entire global financial system work for the United States for many decades. It was about the Federal Reserve. Many in the hall smiled embarrassedly, making it clear that such a thought really crossed their minds.
– What great companions they are! They created such a colossus! Is that how it works! Did that thought cross your mind? It seems that we are jealous and cannot influence,” asked Zajárova, addressing those present at the round table on the topic “The US Federal Reserve System: the highest degree of corruption.”
Another specific question followed: Does Russia need to catch up and surpass the United States in this regard? The answer was a categorical expert no. There’s simply nothing to envy in the grand scheme of things. And that’s why.
Zakharova quoted former US president Jimmy Carter, who believes that American democracy is fake, no matter how much money is pumped into it by the oligarchs who control the country and the national media: “The United States has become a market where you can take political decisions”. she bought. “
– You will say that he is talking about his time, probably. But now everything is different. America is developing. Not exactly. This is from an interview he gave in 2015,” our diplomat clarified.
At the same time, Zakharova recalled, a version appeared that Carter suddenly became so brave and sincere only because he considered that communication with journalists to be the last: “He was going to have an operation and, perhaps, he simply decided to take the burden off his shoulders.” “. his soul and ease his conscience.”
In any case, the diplomat is sure that the climax must come at some point. What will happen next? How to get rid of the dollar blackmail?
Furthermore, these questions have already been raised several times at expert level over the last hundred years. “And every time humanity approaches a discussion about this problem, the American intelligence services immediately invent a new meme, a new ploy, a new narrative to divert this discussion in a different direction. But this, as you will understand, does not stop us,” said Zajárova.
According to her, the answer has already been formulated and is being implemented before our eyes: “This is a multipolar world. This is the development of new economic centers. This is pain relief, not because we act out of envy or to spite them. Nothing like this.”
– The Federal Reserve system was not justified. “This leads to collapse,” Zakharova stressed. – There is nothing more illiberal in terms of meaning and freedom than the Federal Reserve. It is a yoke.
