This afternoon, I watched a speech as delivered by Donald Trump. It was blatant lying. Blatant, vicious and murderous. Everyone should have known that - but I'd be willing to bet that most Canadians and Americans will buy his vicious lies.
Did Trump believe what he was saying? I doubt it. Trump cannot have been such American billionaires.
When Castro led Cubans to freedom, the U.S. tried many times to assassinate him. It also, ever since, has kept Cuba as a nation in poverty, illegally destroying Cuba's right to trade with other countries.
The story of Venezuela is similar. U.S. oil barons were eager to get control of Venezuela's oil fields. Venezuela had no wish to hand them over to U.S. billionaires. So the U.S. destroyed the Venezuelan economy - which is why so many people, especially children, are dying.
Trump says the U.S. would restore democracy. Sure. In fact, the U.S. has spent a century destroying democracy all over Latin America. The worst case was that of the CIA (an American gang of hired thugs, led by George Bush Sr.) murdered at least 200,000 Guatemalans The kills included large numbers of missionaries, priests, nuns. Canadian and American news media have thoughtfully never published the story of that mass murder. ( One of the murdered missionaries is buried in his home province of New Brunswick. But New Brunswick's politicians and news media have never thought that worth mentioning.)
Guatemala's sin? It was a democracy.
Much the same happened to Chile and to many other countries in Latin America.
The U.S. does not encourage democracy. American capitalists don't like it.
For over a century, the U.S. has murdered and impoverished millions all over Latin America. That's because American governments are owned by American billionaires - and things like decent salaries and education and living conditions get in the way.
The U.S. destroys democracies because democracies get in the way of plundering. Even a Trump must know that.
Is it possible that Canadian and American news media keep most of this secret? It's very possible. American capitalists (like the old British and other European ones) don't like democracy. They don't like prosperity in countries they are plundering. And they certainly don't like democracies that would kick them out.
Are the American and Canadian people so deaf, dumb, and blind that they don't see this? It would seem so - and for a start because most of our news media are owned by the same people who order the murder and plundering.
It's not too much to say that Trump (and most American presidents of our time) are Hitlers.
No. I didn't write that for shock value. U.S. (and Canadian and other capitalists) are trying to own the world just as Hitler was trying to own Europe and Africa. They are the Nazis of our time. That's why at least 20 million men, women and children have been murdered just by the U.S.
Why do you think the U.S. invaded North Korea, Afghanistan, and Vietnam. None of those countries was in a position to attack the U.S. - and none were even thinking about it. But for the U.S., North Korea was to be a base to attack China. Afghanistan was to plunder the resources of that country.(No. Afghanistan had nothing to do with New York's 9/11. all the people involved in that were our good friends in Saudi Arabia.)
Nor does the U.S give anybody democracy. The threat to Iran is because U.S. billionaires want control of Iranian oil. How soon we forget--- Iran was a democracy for a time after World War 2. The U.S. and its friends destroyed it by installing a dictatorship so that western capitalists could plunder it. But Iran broke free. So now the capitalists need another war.
The U.S. has a long history of mass murder. That included several invasions of Canada. and a massive invasion of Mexico. That's why so many American cities from Texas and all the way to Canada have Spanish names.) It was built on the bodies of millions of its native peoples (especially including children and babies), on the bodies of Latin Americans,, Canadians, Africans.... In short, American capitalists own American politicians. And they tell the politicians who to kill.
Of course, that's not what their school books tell American children. No. In the books, Canada was invaded because it was a threat to the poor little U.S. Yes, it was. That's wny the U.S. had to invade Canada in 1812. Yes. It was, in school books, The Second War of Independence.
And the soldiers, proud to serve their country, march off and come back to parade on "Highways for Heroes". Canadians have done the same for Korea, Haiti, Afghanistan, Syria...
You're proud of them? That's reasonable. We lied to them, telling them what good things they were doing. They weren't doing good things. But it wasn't their fault that we lied.
Oh, you'll notice that the U.S. is particularly strong on killing Latins, Muslims, Asians. Yep. We're following in Hitler's footsteps. These killings are the American version of Hitler's Jews. The German people accepted Hitler's murder of Jews. And the American people accept their mass murder of other peoples.That's why Trump has played so heavily on the 'evil' of Latin Americans.
Where did the U.S. first concentrate on mass killing of children? That was Korea. Ditto - in Yemen. Ditto - in Iraq. That's why they cheer Trump or putting thousands of Latin American children into wire cages. Among the 20 million and more the U.S. has murdered since 1945, a great many - millions - have been children. These have become America's Jews - and the U.S. has probably killed more of them than Hitler did Jews. But that was okay. In the Nazi and the American view, such people were untermensch.
In 1945, we thought the fighting was over. It wasn't. Ever since 1945, we have been fighting Hitler's war all over again, but this time fighting it for the same reason as the Nazis fought, plunder for the wealthy. And it's war in which we are targeting our version of the Jews.
(Worse. The Israeli Jews, in their attacks on Palestinians, have become, the Nazis.)
But Americans are fed on lies. They have actually believed that Canadians, Latin Americans, native peoples, and many others were threats to the U.S. Canadians will see how that plays out as American capitalists focus on the plundering of Canada's far North as the melting ice makes mining possible.

Why is it so big? Well, it might be because wealthy Americans own and can make huge profits out of war industries. It's part of the process of robbing the American people and starving the children of the poor to pour billions of dollars into the pockets of the rich.

Of course. The U.S. is eager to help Venezuela become a democracy. Oh, yes. Come off it. The U.S. has generally destroyed democracy all over Latin America. And it's closest buddy, Saudi Arabia, is arguably the most anti-democratic country in the world. The U.S. has a long record of destroying democracies. Try Guatemala and Chile. for example Try Iran in 1948. Try The Phillippines which the U.S. conquered in 1901, and was still a dictatorship in 1941. And after the Japanese were expelled, it became a dictatorship again.
But heck...
All Venezuela has to do is hand over all its oil to a few American billionaires.

It's not surprising that so many Canadian newspapers do only minor reporting on climate change. Ever since the birth of the modern newspaper about 1870, newspapers have been propaganda agents for their wealthy owners. And that got worse, much worse, with the rise of the very arrogant Conrad Black who founded Toronto Post - now with its ownership of myriad puppet newspapers.

I found much of the tone of this next item distasteful, But it does open a side to what is happening in Hong Kong - a side that has not been covered in our news media. And it's true that the waving of British and American flags by the protesters is absurd. British behaviour in China - and in Hong Kong when that was left to the British - was always cruel, exploitive, vicious, arrogant. And it was never democratic The same was true of American intrusions into China.
And it's hard (impossible) to believe the rioters don't know that.

When we defeated Nazi Germany in 1945, we became the new Hitlers. And, like the original Hitler, we became the agents of our capitalists. Funny how we forget. Big business just loved Hitler because he was going to beat off the socialists. And it wasn't just German big business that loved him. No. Hitler had big business admirers in Britain and the U.S. - and Canada. And he held on to those admirers even as he publicly urged Germans to attack Jews and to destroy their businesses.
I'm reminded here of an Israeli friend who, as a child, was a survivor of one of the death camps. His favourite joke was about a Jew who built a house, an identical copy of Henry Ford's house, and built it next door to Ford. Soon, he met Ford.
"I have a better house than you do", he said.
"How can it be better", Grunted Ford. "It's an exact copy of my house."
"Yes, but I don't have a Jew living next door to me"
Did Trump believe what he was saying? I doubt it. Trump cannot have been such American billionaires.
