May 21:;For Christ's sake world, wake up.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-kushner-deutsche-bank-money-laundering-specialists-new-york-times-1.5142279

Oh, for pete's sake, of course Trump and Kushner are a  part of that small class who don't pay taxes, who get big payoffs, and give nothing.

Check on Wednesday at Gallup Poll Trump. See if it has any change in Trump's popular support. I doubt that it will. Those southern Christian fundamentalists are one hell of thick lot.

It's scandalous how Canada and the U.S. have allowed their universities to be out of reach of so much or our population.

U.S. public education is a disaster area, designed to make sure that the poor remain poor. And the private, charter schools ensure that the rich will remain rich. In effect, it locks  U.S. society into a medieval  structure of peasants nnd lords. And Canadian education has been moving in the same direction.

Both follow the same principle. The rich must be served, And the hell with the rest.

How very different from the news in our news media! Funny how our readers, relying on western news, get nothing like this. Reading our news media one can get the impression that it's Venezuela that is attacking the U.S.

The reality is that the American Empire is simply aa repeat of the old, British Empire - one of the most vicious, destructive, murderous empires in  history.
(Of course, in our school history books it's all glory,, glory, glory...

And the American slaughter of native peoples? It just shows how brave Custer was.

This was a story that any reporter should have  realized was a lie. Four tankers are bombed by expert Iranian special squads?? Oh. really?
I well remember looking at the original story. It was a obviously a lie.

An Iranian specialist squad hit 4 tankers? That was one, sloppy squad. It's bombs were so feeble, that none of the ships was seriously damaged. Didn't American journalists note that?

The U.S. journalistic world has no qualms about pushing false news.

Governments and news media have lied constantly about Assange. Yeah. He's a rapist. Yeah.

Assange has been freely accused without ever   having a trial. I have no doubt he's become a profoundly troubled person, a confused one ---that happens when you have to spend years of your life locked in a small room

And he leaked U.S. secrets?  Well, yes. That what a journalist is supposed to do - to tell the truth. To reveal what government hide from us.

And here's a good example of government lying.

I hope this is true. But  I have yet to see any hope that the U.S. will back off and let Iran run its own affairs.

AND - I doubt very much were the province of Alberta has anything like the money needed to do the job. And don't even kid yourself about about the oil companies paying for it.

Gee, I haven't noticed this story in our daily news.

I  have not written much with the entries for this edition of the blog. The reason is that I am overwhelmed by the dangers (and disasters) of what we are doing - and it had become impossible to keep up with the murder and greed.

The time to design a new world was 1945. But we didn't do it. We allowed the same old gang of the greedy and not very intelligent create the world that THEY wanted. The plundered all of humanity for themselves. Their greed has no limits. They give nothing. The don't pay taxes.They don't share the world''s wealth. They murder on a world scale.

We are watching a steady decline in real income for almost all of us. We are watching mass hunger and homelessness even in rich countries. We daily watch the mass murder of children and civilians (by people we call heroes).

Our economic bosses are the ones who prosper and prosper wildly in the billions of dollars while most people in this world can't get basic medical care or, even in North America, decent education for the bulk of the population.

Most of our news media - owned by the very wealthy - lie constantly - even some of the 'great' ones.

We ignore hunger, sickness, poverty all so we can pour what should be money for all us into the pockets of the unspeakably greedy. Many (most of us) die sooner than we should. Almost all of us live more miserably than we should.

At the end of world war 2, we should have created governments that worked for us. Instead, we have have thrown money at the greediest bastards this world has ever seen. And they ARE our governments. The own our governments. And owe they are murderous and - frankly, they don't care who they murder - civilians, children (Do you seriously think  the babies of Yemen are evil? The millions of children who were killed in Korea?...)

Before they finish, they will scrape us all to the bone - and that will happen in the lifetimes of today's children. Compared to these people, Hitler was at least okay. These people  have no nationality. They have no patriotism. They have only greed. It is very likely that they will destroy all human life - and soon. Because they[re not just greedy and murderous but because they are stupid. Can you seriously believe an Irving family will ever stop plundering and impoverishing the people of New Brunswick?  Will Doug Ford of Ontario ever do anything but throw money at the already rich? Will Jason Kenney of Alberta ever to anything but look for oil billionaires with their pants down so he can kiss them?

And our time might be getting short - very, very short.

And, for the most part, we seem to accept this.
