Nice to see somebody doing something.

Long, long ago, when the Liberal government of Canada was young, it promised to take action on the dreadful conditions imposed on native peoples. But it still hasn't lifted a finger. SNC Lavalin wanted bigger money, much, much bigger. And got it instantly.

No. There's no evidence these children killed anyone.

Most people in North America have never heard of Doug Ford. They're the lucky ones. But it's not hard to picture him. Think of a naked - and fat and knuckles on the ground - caveman standing in the entrance to his cave and chatting with his good friend, Donald Trump.

Alas! He isn't a caveman. He's the premier of Canada's largest province - and a great admirer of oil companies.

Remember all those twitters and speeches from Trump about how ordinary Americans are just rolling in dough since he became president?

This  has been going on under American and Canadian mining operations in Latin America for years.

How many members of the Trump and Trudeau governments would go to jail rather than testify to a hatchet committee?

Despite the obvious opinion of Canadian and American governments, shovelling money into the pockets of the rich (as in letting them skip paying taxes) does not benefit all of us. And those of us who think so are heading for one hell of a surprise.

And when the depression hits, guess who will be the lucky ones with billions of stolen tax money in secret banks.

Notice that the leading opponents to taking action on climate change are NOT the world's leading scientists. Quite the contrary, the leading opponents are extremely wealthy people of no scientific training whatever.

How can it be possible that we would allow such people to continue polluting and destroying the only planet we have to live on? Easy. They have pockets of money stuffed with our taxes - the taxes they refuse to pay. And they can use that to buy the Trumps and the Fords of our world - who share that lack of brains that characterizes their wealthy friends.

Nice people, the Saudi leadership. I'm sure we can trust them.

What the hell. Let our children live - and die - with this.

The world has been at war non-stop since it fought 'the war to end all wars in 1945'. U.S. governments have been obsessed all that time with the great project for America to rule the world.

When American leaders say 'rule the world', they don't mean providing full government. Not at all. Ruling the world means controlling the money. It has nothing to do with bringing justice or prosperity to the world.

In fact, the U.S. has become the successor to Britain in ruling the world for that purpose. And all of that ruling is to do nothing but make American billionaires richer

Until the Second World War, Britain ruled for centuries. And  Britain was as muderous -more so - as the U.S. has been. Britain killed at least 350 million. Nor did British children benefit from these wars and plunder. The children of the poor - which means most of them - suffered vile lives - often starting factory work at 6 and working a 12 to 15 hour day for pennies a week.

The U.S. has pretty much followed the British example. It was been at war from 1776 and earlier., mostly in the mass murder of it native peoples - and then against the others it saw as racially inferior - Latin American, Phillipinos, Koreans....

Hitler was by no means any sort of new development. He was, in fact,solidly in the British and American tradition. (Yes. Those same British who (like me) could be moved to tears by Vera Lynn, came from a tradition of mass murder and plunder. They were still doing it trying to recapture their empire after 1945, and are still doing it today. Yes. I still love Vera Lynn. But let's not kid ourselves. The western world, especially Europe, Britain and the U.S., is the most murderous, torturing and enslaving one in human History.)

It's also the most Christian one.

The most important thing we had to do after World War Two was to get our capitalists under control. Instead, we wallowed in the greed and brutality of them. Where the hell were our Christian churches when we needed Christian guidance?

I used to preach - a long, long time ago when the world was young. I'm embarassed now to think about it.

We'll tighten the rules as it becomes necessary? Get real. We have no idea when it will become necessary. It could be many years distant. It could be very soon.
Hey, worth takin' a chance, eh?

No. It ain't.

We have elected governments. But we are really ruled by people of extraordinary greed. And such greed makes one really quite  stupid.

Our enemies are not orientals or latins, or Russians.... Our enemies are our billionaires who care not a damn about human needs They are people of phenomenal greed who understand only their greed.

And if they retain control of our world, we are done for.
