Sept. 5: vicious days - like those when we admired Hitler.

Yes. We did or, at least, our billionaires did.

I did not think this would happen - but I'm very happy it has. However, I fear that Hong Kong's continuing demands could return it to a very dangerous situation.

CBC news has nothing about the Canadian election. That's not the fault of CBC. That's the fault of Canadian politicians who have nothing to say. And it's the fault of Canadian voters who accept the failure (especially of the two, major parties) to have anything to say. They make a Donald Trump look thoughtful.

We should be listening to crucial debates about the future of Canada. But we aren't getting them. We have very little time to respond to the climate change crisis. And we are about to throw at least five years of that time away.

We have been sitting with out faces hanging out as Canada's leading capitalists loot ----us. Conservatives,  in particular, have been cutting on spending on education, health, minimum wage and other programmes essential to us peasantry while they hand out billions in gifts to billionaires.

We are living through a period of intense plundering of almost all of us to satisfy the unsatisfiable greed of the very, very rich. The suffering has been extensive - and it's going to get much, much worse.

And we stand there with our faces hanging out.

Of course. I don't know whether our strongest Atlantic hurricane is a product of climate change. But we should most certainly be looking at the possibility.

The British Empire murdered hundreds of millions of people, and impoverished even more. The U.S. is the successor to the British Empire - with all the lies of such an empire - (the claim that this is the will of God, that it's hired killers and torturers are "splendid chaps", "patriots", and "heroes".  Come off it. For all the fancy medals, they are mass murderers with a specialty of killing children. And, like the old British Empire, the common people of the U.S. get no benefit from all this. Indeed, their standard of living is steadily declining while the billionaires flounder in billions of dollars.

When will Americans wake up? ( And when will Canadians wake up?)

Judaism is not about mass murder.

Israel is.

And we Christians encourage that.

Well, the problem is that Canadians don't have a clue what's going on. And they have no sense of what direction they should go on. And part of that is because the NDP and the Greens have not taken strong enough stands.

I'll vote for one of  the last two - but I could wish they stood for a hell of a lot more than they do.

In fairness, millions of Jews around the world despise Netanyahu and all he stands for. But the Christians of the west have been pretty silent about the millions killed by their 'Christian' leaders since 1945. Indeed, one might well say that western Christianity is dead.

Onward Christian child killers. No. Don't put money in the collection plate. Give it to your favourite billionaire.

Too bad. The Bible has some pretty good ideas in it.

Of course, who would listen to teen age girl when we have access to the wisdom of Donald Trump and Ontario's Doug Ford?

They've earned - and more than earned - the support of all of us.

yeah. But who cares? They're only doctors. They don't have high school leaving certificates like Ontario's Doug Ford. And they don't have hot hair-dos like Donald Trump.

Think of the mentality of legislators who would do that.

Would Americans do something like that? They already do. Check out the Mexican border.

Would Canadians do that? They already have. What do you think Quebec's Quiet Revolution was all about? And Canada's refusal to accept Jews who escaped from Hitler's Germany?

The war with Iraq was unjustified and  illegal. Yes, Iraq's president was a murderous bastard. So was George Bush jr., and George Bush ordered the killing of over a million innocent civilians,  including women and children.

But, of course, the killers got medals, cheers on parade. Our heroes. God bless them.

Of course, those who attack Muslims are people who don't know that Muslims are Semite's, too. And, in fact, the Semite connections of Jews have long ago been reduced by years of living in Europe and America.

We like to kid ourselves that, in the 1930s, we hated Hitler and all that he stood for. But it ain't true. In Canada, the U.S., and Britain,  the wealthy who really owned our major political parties thought that Hitler was a great guy. Nazi rallies in Canada and the U.S. were common right up to 1939.

And  that says a lot about our economic and political leadership up to this day. Indeed, as I read the news, we are reliving the mood of those days when Hitler was a 'great guy'. And our major parties and billionaires are reenacting them.
