Intressant information från G-20-mötet. Protektionism ska visst inte längre vara strictly verboten.
Group of 20 nations have agreed that the current global trading system has flaws and needs reform, in a communique that failed to reference protectionism for the first time.
[...]
The multilateral trading system is “falling short of its objectives and there is room for improvement,” the document says, in an apparent nod to the criticism that has come from President Donald Trump as he takes the U.S. on a more protectionist path. Leaders will discuss WTO reform at a meeting in June.
Klimatalarmism verkar inte heller ha varit primadonna på mötesscenen. Istället verkar gudinnan Eris smugit sig in och bjudit de mäktiga på äpplen.
The statement also makes only one mention of climate change, and notes both the U.S. exit from the Paris Agreement and other countries’ ongoing support for the accord aimed at capping emissions blamed for global warming.
The communique caters widely to Trump’s America First policies, and leaves little doubt of deep divides among the leaders of the world’s biggest economies.
Vita Huset förefaller nöjt över att USA:s beslut att dra sig ur Parisavtalet så att säga tagits till protkollet, tillsammans med krav på omförhandlingar av WTO.
A senior White House official praised the document, particularly the language calling for WTO reform and changes to the global trading system. Inclusion of wording to explain Trump’s decision to exit the Paris climate accord also was welcomed by the U.S., the official said.
Världen stöveltrampar tydligen inte nöjaktigt på i den anbefallt neoliberala vänstervalstakten.
The communique welcomed “strong global economic growth while recognizing it has been increasingly less synchronized between countries” and members said they “note current trade issues.”

Det var ju inte så här den vänsterliberala världsrevolutionen skulle rattas. Har globalistliberalerna månne nått sitt Waterloo?
Inför helgens G-20 uttalade sig de ursprungliga ingenjörerna bakom tillkomsten av just denna sammanslutning om syftet bakom densamma. Manualen verkar (för arkitekterna obegripligt nog) ha blivit en smula inaktuell.
As world leaders gather for what could be their most fractured Group of 20 summit yet, the men who founded the annual meeting want you to know -- it only exists because of crises that the West can’t handle on its own.
By the late 1990s, it was becoming clear to policy makers that economic troubles didn’t stop at western borders, and that traditional meetings like the Group of Seven were ill-suited for new challenges.

“The G-7, we came to believe, was unsuitable as the sole steering committee for the global economy,” said Lawrence Summers, a U.S. Treasury secretary in the Clinton administration. And so he and Canadian Finance Minister Paul Martin jointly championed a new forum -- the G-20. “There were some countries that were more enthusiastic than others,’’ Martin said.
Det knakar och skakar från nedre däck men champagnen är ännu någorlunda kyld och hur i hela helvetet kan någon vara missnöjd med ett så kliniskt rationellt världsstyre som de båda gentlemännen så insiktsfullt sjösatte för tjugo år sedan.
In interviews, Martin and Summers expressed optimism for the summit’s survival -- but it doesn’t mean smooth sailing. “It’s fair to say more people view the coming G-20 with more apprehension than ever before,” Summers said.
Martin recalled a G-7 meeting where he and Summers ducked into a room to discuss the idea that the G-7 alone didn’t cut it anymore. Others were at first cool to the notion, but the U.S. and Canada were on board. “Larry agreed. And I said, fine, let’s put together the countries that should be involved. I said I think it should be 20, he agreed, and we just sat there,’’ drawing up a list of nations, he said.
It worked, and G-20 finance chiefs held their first meeting in 1999 -- launching a forum focusing on global growth and the economy. G-20 leaders first met in 2008, in the depths of the financial crisis.
“At the leaders’ level, it was born of the financial crisis, just as with the financial ministers’ level, it was born of the Asian financial crisis,’’ said Martin, who went on to serve as Canada’s prime minister.
It was the next meeting, in 2009 in London, that cemented the G20’s legacy, Summers said. It announced new funding for the IMF and made a joint-pledge to do whatever was needed to spur the recovery. “It was a very important contribution to stabilizing the most dangerous financial moment of the last 75 years,’’ he said.

Martin said the G-20 passed a “very important test’’ last year in Hamburg, when it withstood the U.S. announcement of quitting the Paris climate accord. “The Leaders of the other G-20 members state that the Paris Agreement is irreversible,” the joint statement said, after noting the decision by President Donald Trump.
The G-20 has fostered a sense of connection that has helped sustain global growth, Summers said. “The real question is its efficacy as a steering committee for the global economy, and the broader question of whether we’re going to have a managed global economy or whether we’re going to have a state-of-nature, each for its own, dog eat dog kind of global economy,’’ he said.
Det låter väldigt mycket som blunda, blunda, blunda - önska, önska, önska. Och slipprigt försäljarsnack om behovet av en upplyst världsstyrelse så inte den eviga tillväxten går åt pipsvängen.
Martin said the G-20 remains relevant and well-positioned to take on today’s problems. “Climate change, the death of oceans, these are issues which no country can solve on their own, they can only solve if the world comes together and there needs to be a steering committee to get the world there,’’ he said.
[...]
“The G-20 is fighting the good fight -- what’s really important now is that it wins some of these battles,” Martin said, adding that the summit’s main purpose is to avoid the crises of tomorrow, even as today’s problems loom large. “When you ask them to basically deal with today’s issues, there is going to be stress. And so be it. That’s why it was created.’’

Ja se dessa megalomana liberaler. Migrationsfrågan verkar inte ha haft någon mer framträdande plats på dagordningen men migrationsaktivistiska SVT meddelade i sena Rapport att man enats om att typ "ta tag i migrationsfrågan" Klimat och migration är visst fortfarande trots allt underordnade den ekonomiska tillväxten.
Och i Frankrike ger folk vildsint uttryck för sin avsky för den liberala globalismdemokratiska världsordningens Golden Boy de manipulerats till att välja som president. Den franska Fjamåt-regeringen är omåttligt impopulär. Och som alltid håller sig antifaterroristerna framme med sitt våldskapital och infiltrerar protesten.
Tokliberalerna har det tungt nu och kanske går deras framgångssaga mot sitt slut. "Individen" är väl när allt kommer omkring ett klent substitut för gemenskap. Den instrumentella rationaliteten en klen tröst för förlusten av mening. Die Entzauberung der Welt, som Max Weber talade om i det att den liberala rationaliteten utan sentimentalitet gjorde sig kvitt både Gud och levandets förunderlighet har kanske nått vägs ände och rent av i sin blinda iver att klippa alla hindrande band för individens frigörelse från traditioner och nedärvda föreställningar banat väg för återkomst av både nationalromantik och blodsmystik. i en pånyttförtrollad värld där själva samhörigheten ger livet mening har inget utrymme för mångkultur. I en värld av mening, historiska band och personliga relationer är tillvaron mer dansk än svensk.
