... But 2014 will experience a dramatic acceleration of this
profound trend thanks to the convergence of several factors: loss of control of
the world by the United States, the end of desperate rescue methods (mainly
quantitative easing), a new implosion of the real estate market... Not
forgetting the groundswell which is the forced reform of the international
monetary system. Using roulette is an example, until recently there has been
the phase “place your bets” during which the players have been able to prepare
and implement their strategies; we are now rather in the phase “no more bets”
where the players will soon be able to see their profits-or losses.

Excerpt GEAB N°80 - On rating agencies: US, Chinese,
Russian, multipolar... none European
Following the attacks on European ratings by the American
rating agencies, Europe was amongst the first to propose creating an
alternative agency. Unfortunately, in April 2013, it found it impossible to
finance a European rating agency: too expensive, too complicated! Since then,
the Chinese, the Russians and the Africans (with WARA, etc., have all launched
their own rating agencies structured on global networks (for example within the
framework of the UCRG to create a rating system adapted to the multipolar
world… without European participation: Europe isn't part of the multipolar
rating system that has been emerging for some time. It's disappointing and
still and always asks this question: who prevented the creation of such an
agency in Europe? Probably the same who are trying to sneak the Transatlantic
Treaty past us, the areas of anti-Russian free trade with the Ukraine,
Moldavia, Armenia and Turkey's EU integration, etc and who really hope to see Europe
definitively exit world affairs. Pointing at European leaders, we reiterate our
recommendation to launch such an agency as soon as possible! And don't tell us
that Europe has neither the resources nor the expertise to carry out such a
project… (note 11)
