When Hitler won power in Germany, he didn't do it on programs or policies. He did it on hatred,, in this case a hatred of Jews. He invented Jews into a hatred with his campaign speeches. It was all nonsense. But it worked.
When Donald Trump came to power, he did it on a hatred. In his case, the hatred was immigrants, especially Latin Americans, and he roused his followers with tales of how child migrants would grow up to murder loyal Americans in their beds, and would spread drugs over the U.S.
Increasingly, Hitler is the model of modern politicians. the politics of hatred. It's been true in the recent European elections. It's been true in the election of Trump - and in the provincial elections of Ford and Kenney.
Often, these politicians can count on the support of the commercial news media. Of course. Most of those news media are owned by the very wealthy people who own the politicians. Hatred works for them. It gives support to their lies/
Do the commercial news media lie? You bet they do. They always have. In Canada, the first news media in Montreal were owned by those business leaders who lived by British trade their reporting reflected that. Toronto business was more interested in western expansion - and their papers reflected it.
The wealthy owned the news media - and that means the media reflected the interests of the wealthy. And today, that is more the case than ever. Our commercial news media are owned by the same people who finance the politicians. That's why you will rarely see articles in The National Post critical of big business. And how often have you read stories about how the wealthy don't pay income tax -and they wallow in our tax money that governments hand out to them (without telling us.)
That's why the British Empire at its peak had monstrous wealth in the hands of very few people while millions of their workers lives in the foulest slums of Europe and while working class children worked12 hours and more a day for pennies at the age of six.
Our commercial news media lie. They lie constantly to serve their masters. And this has really exploded since 1945 as most of the money has been drifting from the poor to the rich.
And how often have you seen commercial news media that report that? Now. what we see mostly is trivia, lies, and propaganda. And that is the meat of our elections. And this is why elections are largely reported as coping with evil (any country that wanst to control it's own affairs, any country we have impoverished (like Venezuela or Iran or Iraq....)
We, most of us, are back in the politics of Adolph Hitler. And our commercial news media play a major role in keeping us there as we starve children by the tens of thousands al all over the world - as in Venezuela and Yemen - and it's all their fault - yeah. And so we become the ones who pay big money to crooked politicians (who pass on much of it to crooked editors.
Sieg Heil.
Now, the attack is on what are called social media - news opinions like this one, only most of them better. These have to be destroyed. And that explains the news story at the top of this, in which friends of the rich say we should forbid columns like this one - social media.
In fact the operators and the owners and the operators of commercial news media are pretty much the scum of the earth. And they intend to be the only ones allowed to have opinions. Watch Kenney's Alberta as a leader in the move.
I remember, as a child in WW2 years, seeing the slogan that we were fighting for freedom of speech. But we are dangerously close to a world in which freedom of speech is denied to all but very rich liars.
(Yes. I know some social media writers are bad news.But that's for us to decide, and not to be decided by viciously greedy liars -(fill in names like Trump, Ford, Jason Kenney, etc. And remember that if we approve a world in which only these people can express opinion,, we are in terminal trouble.

You better hope there is no climate change. You better hope that just about all the scientists in the world are wrong. You better hope that all the temperature change, arctic ice melting, change of ocean heat, etc. just ain't nuthin'- because I don't see any hope of any government doing anything about it.

North Korea has nuclear weapons. It is evil.It has never used them.
The U.S. has many more nuclear weapons It is the only country that has ever used them
Israel has nuclear weapons But that's okay because I think it's in the old testament.
Iran doesn''t have nuclear weapons. But it's a major threat to the whole world.

Canada's Post-Media has a long, long record of intellectual corruption and outright lying. It's perhaps Canada's worst example of a lying, propaganda press.
https://www.nationalobserver.com/2019/05/17/news/postmedia-lobbies-get-involved-jason-kenneys-oilpatch-war-room
And it owns papers across the country.
But the Conservative Mr. Scheer doesn't want to investigate it. No. He wants to investigate CBC which, for all its faults, is still far the best news outlet in Canada.

Can you imagine the fury if some country had cut of U.S. water? Think of the raging American speeches that this was illegal. But in Cuba, Venezuela, Iran and other countries all over the world it is quite proper for the U.S. to throw other countries into chaos and misery.

The U.S. has been faking chemical attacks by Syria for at least a couple of years now. It even set up a film on the subject just in time for the academy awards.
This is all lying propaganda. In fact, the last big chemical attack I know of was the horror it unleashed on Vietnam with Agent Orange. It still plagues that country with horribly twisted babies that die within a few years.
And the American press still insists it's those evil Syrians who are doing it.
God bless America.

This has been a most depressing day of blog writing. Maybe, I think,, we are savage beasts of low, low intelligence. With the strong possibility of the collapse of our whole world, most of our elected leaders are focused on how they and their rich friends can make money out of it.
We steadily increase poverty all over the world, including in our home countries so that more and more money can be stuffed into the pockets of a small number of people who already have more money than they could spend in a thousand lifetimes.
We elect politicians of no scientific training whatever who decide that the greatest disaster ever to strike this earth should kill us all to make billionaires richer.
We murder all over the world. We murder in the millions. We murder children. We murder babies. And we call it heroism. We destroy whole nations, creating millions of refugees - not just in warring nations but inside the American empire just as we did in the old British Empire. And when the survivors flee for their lives, we let some settle in misery; we let uncounted numbers die as they try to cross oceans in their terror. And we, the ones who created their misery, blame them for it - as Trump is doing at the U.S. border. We are destroying them. We are destroying ourselves.
And over it all, we see the intellectual rubble which is much of all that is left of 2,000 years of Christianity.
In the U.S., Trump is the model of ignorance and greed and hate. And in Canada, Justin Trudeau is Trump's wimp. The Conservatives are, of course, even worse. But there is little sign that either Liberal or Conservative voters have woken up from their stupor of 150 years.
I'm sorry to be so depressing. But it's painful to live in a world so dominated by its ignorance, greed,and sheer stupidity.
And its hypocrisy.
