Cheerio Cheerio Bye Bye
The first Cheerio Bye
The Games of the Future are here. Fifty countries are in so far. The Olympic games will go the way of the dodo and only dodos will take part. Cheerio Bye! All of you with your hatred of others and politicizing all of the games of the world.
The new multipolar world will play in the new international tournament, Games of the Future.
MOSCOW, April 29. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has recorded a video address to participants and guests of the ceremony launching the countdown to the first international tournament ‘Games of the Future,’ according to the video posted on the Kremlin website on Saturday.
“Today is the start of the countdown to the first-ever international Games of the Future tournament, which is, without exaggeration, a unique event that has never been held before,” Putin said. “The Games of the Future will combine e-sports and conventional sports, video games, virtual and augmented reality tournaments, as well as traditional football, basketball, hockey and MMA matches, all on one platform.”
The president added that the competitions would once again prove that “a modern person, a person of the future, is a harmonious individual, fit both physically and intellectually.”
“I am convinced that the Games of the Future will make this truth evident in its entirety,” the president added.
In addition, Putin pointed out that the Russians are proud that the tournament originated in Russia and that phygital (do they mean physical or is this a new word?) sport, which is becoming increasingly popular, offers new opportunities, scope and prospects for the country.
The president added that there was “not much time to go before the Games of the Future begin.” He wished the tournament participants “to make every coming month and week count and to focus on preparations in order to enter this competitive marathon 300 days from now and to demonstrate the best of their abilities and talents.”.
The second Cheerio Bye
We will not see a wide and selected invited audience to a Western Democracy Summit again. They will go and sit by themselves and convince one another that they are ‘oh so democratic’. Nobody else will even pay attention. They will go the way of the Dodo and only Dodo’s will take part. Cheerio Bye
It will be taken over by The Global Conference on Multipolarity. This first conference was a little rough around the edges technically. Translations were not always available but the next one will be smooth. With tech, one has to put it to the test and if you read Maria Zakharova, this online conference was Russian tech. Earlier, I put the links in Daily Chronicles as follows: You will find speakers that you know and you will also find speakers without translation into English. Listen to just a tad to see if a translation of some kind kicks in and then forward to the next speaker. It is a study in the state of multipolarity. We’re not all speaking the same language yet. Pepe Escobar made a short speech with a powerful call to action.

Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s remarks at the Global Conference on Multipolarity
🎥 Watch
Colleagues,
Friends,
You have heard Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s remarks. He mentioned the main prospects for building a multipolar world and emphasised that this process is inevitable and objective. I will add that the new Russian Foreign Policy Concept has described, for the first time, and in a systematic way, the principles of a fairer, multipolar world arrangement and has set forth the goal of facilitating its creation.
I believe other states will eventually fix similar provisions in their own conceptual strategic documents. This depends, among other things, on the participants at our forum – influential political scientists and thinkers.
For my part, I would like to talk about the information-communication and partially the value-sense component of this process.
We live in a world where the media and communications have started playing not just a key role but sometimes a decisive role. As you can see, we are in different cities, countries, continents and time zones, but nonetheless we are actually communicating in real time. All this has become possible not only because of technology (by the way, we are communicating on a platform developed in Russia, not a Western counterpart) but also because of the will of many different people all over the world. They are open and ready to communicate.
A uniform centre for information control that some Western elites are striving for does not and cannot exist. In today’s conditions, only polyphonic and compromise voices can be heard. Everyone’s voice can and should be heard as it is in our common “polylogue”.
Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with such an objectively fair approach. We know that the political elites in the US and Europe are using ICT for agitprop, provocation, propaganda and even indoctrination rather than for bringing unbiased information to broad public audiences. Moreover, they are doing this with absolute disregard for the standards and traditions of different countries and societies.
Multilateralism based on the genuine sovereignty of nations and the diversity of civilisations will not only facilitate the settlement of political conflicts, the creation of a fair order for all and every participant in international communication, and a resistance to attempts to establish diktat and hegemony. It will also help create a truly democratic society free of political and ideological interference in domestic affairs of independent states.
There are not a lot of speakers out of the dozens of participants in this event who would support the agenda promoted by neo-liberal Western circles via the media they feed – a change in gender status, reverse LGBT discrimination and involving children and teenagers into gay culture. It is noteworthy that studies show that people in the US, Canada, the Netherlands and other countries in the so-called collective West are far from excited about their public figures and MPs who have moved these issues to the fore of their civic and political activities. Of course, we cannot support or even accept these ideas and won’t do this. As President of Russia Vladimir Putin noted at a recent session of the well-known Valdai Discussion Club, “The difference of traditional values from so-called neo-liberal values is that they are unique in each particular case because they stem from the traditions of a particular society, its culture and historical background. This is why traditional values cannot be imposed on anyone. They must simply be respected and everything that every nation has chosen for itself over the centuries must be handled with care.” This is how we understand traditional values. We are confident that the majority of humanity shares and accepts our approach.
Colleagues,
I urge all participants in this polylogue to proceed from the premise that such events are playing an important synergistic function in building a multipolar system of international relations.
Have you noticed what importance Washington attached to two “summits for democracy” in 2021 and in 2023? True, these summits had nothing to do with democracy. We can not rule out that all the ideas expressed by the US-invited world leaders had been approved in advance in the United States. Frankly, the media impact of these summits was very modest. No matter how hard the Americans tried to draw universal attention to their initiative, people feel the artificial and laboured character of this kind of pseudo democracy. But the idea was clear – to show that the entire world or at least its bigger part supports US-dictated approaches. This is the synergy that Washington tried to achieve. Of course, its initial plan was doomed to failure. This is exactly why the second summit received much less coverage even in the Western media than the first one. The trend is clear.
Now look at our initiative that stands in sharp contrast against this backdrop – it is genuinely international. It is not imposed from above but was born in the politological circles of several countries at the same time. I would like to thank our Chinese comrades and our friends from Brazil for their conceptual formulation and bold promotion of this initiative in the international arena.
Colleagues, in conclusion I would like to thank you for your attention and to emphasise our willingness to continue supporting such projects. I am confident that we will hear many interesting comments and will be pleased to read the final collection of reports following this Marathon.
I wish all the best to the participants and listeners of this event.

Pepe gave some more information on the Conference on Multipolarity. From his TG channel: “Here’s the full video of the Global Conference on Multipolarity. Let’s call it the Rosetta Stone. The real challenge starts now. Technical problems, of course – but that will be eventually solved. Lavrov addresses everyone at… Read more »
The word “phygital” definitely is not only a new word, also it’s a new concept when it comes to international competition. “Games of the Future”, indeed!!! 🇷🇺
Good heavens – I assumed it was a typo, but it is a brand new word – an acronym for physical and digital.
Very good. 🙂
In actuality “phygital” is a neologism and a portmanteau, not an acronym. Neologism means new word, while portmanteau is a combination of two different terms (physical and digital) to create a new entity (phygital). Much like Russia is doing with the “Games of the Future”.
Yes. This is a new interesting and highly seductive concept. I was not into video games but assume they’ve become highly physical as the computing power, graphics and realism increased. Even a generation ago, some friends had a Nintendo Wii which could bring on a sweat playing e-sports against each other. … Read more »
This event is not merely a way to return banned Russians to sport, it’s a statement of cultural rejection too. As West demonstrated such Hate since Feb 2022, canceling them everywhere, this will be a painful blow in response. Narcissists who prided themselves in hosting the biggest extravaganzas, they’ve now lost… Read more »
