Economist Magazine already two years ago predicted that in thirty years
the emerging economies of the Third world will be greater than the
developed economies of the First World.
"According to conservative estimates, by 2017, China will overtake the
United States as the world's largest economy, and by 2050, its economy
will be twice as large as that of the United States. Chinese influence
will extend well beyond the economic sphere. The full social, cultural
and political repercussions of China's ascendancy will be felt sooner.
In the coming decades, the West will be confronted with the fact that
its systems, institutions and values are no longer the only ones on
offer." [When China Rules the World -The End of the Western World and
the Birth of a New Global Order by Martin Jacques] [see also China

Emerging vs developed economies Power shift Aug 4th 2011, by The Economist online (charts, graphs) REAL GDP in most rich economies is still below its level at the end of 2007. In contrast, emerging economies' output has jumped by almost 20% over the same period. The rich world's woes have clearly hastened the shift in global economic power towards the emerging markets. But exactly how big are emerging economies compared with the old developed world? This chart looks at a wide range of indicators: " The combined output of the emerging world accounted for 38% of world GDP (at market exchange rates) in 2010, twice its share in 1990. If GDP is instead measured at purchasing-power parity, emerging economies overtook the developed world in 2008 and are likely to reach 54% of world GDP this year. They now account for over half of the global consumption of most commodities, world exports, and inflows of foreign direct investment. Emerging economies also account for 46% of world retail sales, 52% of all purchases of motor vehicles and 82% of mobile phone subscriptions. They still punch well below their weight in commerce and finance, but they are catching up fast. Almost a quarter of the Fortune Global 500 firms come from emerging markets; in 1995 it was only 4%. The chart below shows more detail of how the economic clout of emerging economies has risen over time: NOTE: Our definition of developed economies based on 1990 data: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States.

The Remorseful Demand Nuremberg Principles Trial of Americans for Genocide! Progressives Haven't 1/12/2014"Iraq: "Devastating" Dossier Alleging British War Crimes Lodged with the International Criminal Court." Americans reading this might be compelled to wonder when a headline will read: 'Alleging US War Crimes.' An accompanying thought might be 'Damn! Our crimes are so much much greater, perhaps followed by the rejoinder 'the total past crimes of the British Empire make ours look much less.'

By Never Calling For Prosecution 'Left' Journalism Protects Investments In Continuous Genocide Western society's progressive writers leave their readers with the impression that citizens of the US and allied nations will never be prosecuted for their mega massive crimes against humanity. Legal and moral implications and future ramifications are discussed and contrasted with ongoing litigation and warnings Martin Luther King gave.
Not Demanding Prosecution Facilitates Further US-NATO Genocide Concerned with present danger to their citizens, leaders of nations under double attack of covert violence/ media slander seem unaware of the crippling effect world attention to now-obvious past US covert, sponsored violence would have on US media deception--that represents the greatest threat to their ability to defend their people. Awareness will make deadly broadcast absurdities inoperable.
