This is a profoundly depressing day for me as I realized a truth about western society.
The U.S. will not accept refugees fleeing Latin America. It says, with no evidence, that they are killers and perverts. (This from a U.S. which has the largest prison population in the world - and the world's most heavily armed population.)
Yes. All those children you see in wire cages are killers and thieves. (The reality is that US billionaires have plundered their lands for a century and more.)
As well, it is widely believed that Americans are God's chosen people who can only be tainted by Latin Americans. And Americans, the same ones who won't let Latin Americans escape the horror the U.S. has carried out on their home countries, are God's chosen people to save the hungry and the poor....
How is it possible for a nation to believe such lies?
"Bring me your tired, your huddled masses yearning to be free."
Something much the same is happening in Europe where refugees, fleeing the poverty and death inflicted on them by Europeans and Americans in Africa and
and the middle east, head for sanctuary in Europe, often in overpacked rafts, and often to die when European governments force them out to die in the open sea.
As I thought about this, I remembered a book I had long ago read. The author, like Americans and Europeans today, branded some people as evil, and necessarily to be killed in order to preserve our western purity. Those people were Jews. And the book was called Mein Kampf.
Our leaders are today's Hitlers. And our murderous followers (and dupes) are.....
us. Yes. We are today's Nazis. And no. I'm not exaggerating.
(I have not written this well.I'm sorry. It's hard to right anything convincing about how we are as murderous and plundering as any people in history. But we are. We are plundering people all over the world, inflicting misery, starvation, death.
And the plunderers and killers among us plunder us, too - and bankroll politicians like Ontario's Doug Ford and New Brunswick's Irving family.)

We are getting rather little news about Iran. Here's my guess about what's happening.
The idea of war against Iran was created by John Bolton and, though he was a cabinet minister, it seems unlikely he told Trump what he was doing. In many, perhaps most, countries Bolton could and should have been shot.
Trump, in all his time as president, has shown no great desire for a war with anybody bigger than Venezuela - though he may be under pressure from his oil billionaires on this one so they can steal all of Iran's oil.
Iran, sensing Trump's reluctance to go to war, is playing hard ball, realizing Trump wants to back off.
And why on earth is Bolton still in the cabinet? That suggests that other people of very great influence do want a major war.
Here's an interesting account of the American situation.

I think I'll just cry.
Canadians are really, really badly informed and hopelessly out to lunch. If the Conservatives win, count on disaster on the environment front.

1.48 TRILLION for the Pentagon. Almost all of that is for lavish contracts for the friends of the government - nothing for health, education, housing, poverty - who gives a damn?

It's been a terrible day for this blogger. I couldn't believe how many Canadians are planning to vote for the Conservative party - a party so corrupt and so sold out to big money that it beats even the Liberals.
Nor does it have anything intelligent to say about the biggest challenge facing us - climate change. Give them four years in office, and it may be game over for ever dealing with that. They can actually read reports of severe climate change all over the world every day - and still lack either the honesty or intelligence to deal with it. And they are tools of a very wealthy business class that plunders us every day, constantly taking money out of our pockets to give to the very, very rich.
