For 120 years, the U.S. has created poverty, exploitation all over Latin America. And it has murdered uncounted numbers. Now, it blames the migrants for all these problems - and forces them back into horror. The same thing is happening in Europe for those who flee the poverty and killing sponsored by European capitalists and their American brethern.

Of course, he ain't real smart like Doug Ford of Ontario and all the rest of the Conservative party, not to mention Donald Trump. People like this deny climate change is happening; but they give no evidence for that opinion. Nor is any of them intelligent enough and scholarly enough to understand any of it.
And if we were intelligent, all these wretches would be in a dumpster.

Most of our news media haven't paid much attention to the devastating rains and winds, high winds that have been flooding Britain for weeks now. On the web, youtube has been publishing frightening pictures of damage. But it hasn't attempted any explanation of it. The Guardian is the first site I've seen to attempt to explain it. And if it is right, the future of Britain and Northern Europe is pretty bleak.

There's a side of this that hasn't had much attention. Historically, teachers in Canada have been poorly paid. That began to improve in the 1950s. But now, and for some years, there has been a new factor at work. That happened when we quietly decided not to impose income tax on our hard-working billionaires. And that has brought huge changes to us.
Without those billions of dollars in taxes.we can't properly educate our children. And medicare, too, is feeling the pinch. And we can't even think about housing and feeding all those families who live on the streets.
As well, millions of Canadians and Americans can't get decent wages from their billionaire bosses. (The latter point has been true for just about all of Canadian and American history. We are not citizens in our countries. We are the low servants of the very rich.
And don't worry about the children of the very rich. They go to private schools. And those private schools even get some of our tax money from friendly governments.
Why did Canadian and American governments do all this to us? That's because Republicans, Democrats, Liberals and Conservatives have always been paid servants of the very rich.
Tough luck for millions of children.

Not to worry. Trump and most of the Democrat candidates and Canada's Conservatives tell us there is no climate change. Canada's Liberals hint there might be climate change. But they have no desire to do anything about it.

Does Trudeau have the courage to deny the very wealthy who want that mine?
Not likely.

To the wealthy who run America and who own most of it's politicians, the poor of the U.S. - like the poor of Latin America - are simply to be trashed into the rubbish heap.

The following publication is not nearly as true as it was just a month ago. The Chinese economy then was the fastest growing economy in the world. But it's now severly crippled.
Alas, we now live in a world in which all national economies are in danger.

Writing this blog has always been a depressing experience. We tolerate and even applaud the greed of our wealthy. We even allow them to plunder and increasingly impoverish the rest of us. And the rest of us? We seem to act as though we deserve the crashing abuse of the super wealthy.
Americans now are drifting into a federal election in a nation that really has no democracy but is simply ruled, as it always has been, by the greediest people in the nation. In that, it is following the pattern earlier established by the British Empire in beggarring most of the British people and enslaving and plundering the rest of the world.
In Canada, both Conservatives and Liberals are the servants of the super wealthy amd Canada itself is the bum kisser for the American empire.
Thus the running wild of billionaires who want power to control dangerous resources like oil fields and poisonous mines, billionaires who don't give a damn about our children because their children go to private schools subidized by our money.
The U.S. impoverishes the whole population of Latin America as it plunders that region (with Canadian help). It has fought non-stop wars ever since World War 2, wars always greeted with cheers for 'our brave soldiers' who, in fact, are not particularly brave but who happily slaughter civilians and children, even starving babies.
Canada now has a major crisis caused by oil billionaires who want us to build them pipelines, poisoning the land and the people over the whole route. And there will soon be a bigger bill to pay as the oil diminishes. This is because the oil barons will pull out as their market weakens, and leaves the rest of us suckers to pay many, many billions of dollars for a clean-up that could take a century.
If Alberta's premier had his way, it would be much, much worse with serious bloodshed - which might happen.
Can Trudeau deal with this? I doubt it. He, like the premier of Alberta. is a servant of the billionaires. It's very hard to see anything good coming out of this.
Indeed, it is at least possible that this will destroy Canada to please the oil barons.
Meanwhile, and with Canadian help and with British hangers-on, the U.S. is impoverishing Latin America, Africa and the Middle East to please our super wealthy.
Nor will we help those peoples for the suffering we have inflicted on them. Instead, leaders like Trump built their popularity by exploiting hatreds against
the people we have so terribly abused.
(It is convenient to use racism for this - as Hitler did. As well, Hitler fought his wars to please the major capitalists of Germany. And we fight ours for exactly the same reason. That's why the U.S. has wanted a war with China. That is what the Korean war was really all about. That's why it fought wars against Vietnam, much of the middle east, and Afghanistan.
In the minds of our super-wealthy, most of us are as disposable as are the people of Vietnam and Afghanistan.... As a part of the greed that governs us. we are just as disposable as the civilians of Vietnam and Afghanistan and Iraq...
And there is only one way this can end.
The original idea of democracy was to produce governments that would govern for the benefit of the people. We have never done that. Instead, we have more commonly killed those people who want to govern for the benefit of the people.
