US efforts to ban TikTok are pure projection by the world’s biggest spy power — Timur Fomenko

Washington is used to controlling the planet’s top tech companies and doesn’t want anyone to threaten its surveillance domination.

The predictable result of this trend toward "weaponization" of commerce is already leading to de-dollarization, another consequence will likely be a bifurcation of the Internet into US-controlled areas and areas isolated from not only US control but also US access. 

Worse, it could spark Internet atomization, as countries attempt to protect themselves and the privacy of their citizens, as China does already. The call to emulate China in this regard is rising in other countries, notably Russia.

Related to this is the subversive activity not only of foreign intelligence agencies directly but also indirectly through NGOs. The trend to ban foreign NGOs and to closely oversee funds flowing from overseas is also growing.

Meanwhile, "globalization" is on pause as neoliberal globalization imposed as a US-led "rules-based order" is now dead in the water owing to weaponization. For example, the basis of the neoliberal "rules-based order is free markets, free trade, and free capital flows." Economic weaponization is strangling all three. 

The result is the rise of a new world order (world system) based on the UN charter and international law that applies equally to all sovereign nations (multipolarism) instead of under US hegemony and Western domination (unipolarism).

 

As the title of the article implies, the US that is already doing what it is accusing others of.
