At the end of world war two, we immediately began to prepare for World War Three.
The United Nations was not created for that purpose. It was intended for the far more intelligent purpose of uniting the world to put an end to war. The whole world, in effect, would become united, with the UN assembly as it's focal point.
That made a great deal of sense. The war had not only been dreadfully murderous. It was now dominated by the most terrible weapon ever devised - the nuclear bomb. The world had to unite - and this was it's LAST chance. It would keep it's governments - whether capitalist, socialist or communist. But all would treat the UN as a sort of world government.
But not all were prepared to do that.
The U.S. effectively destroyed the UN from it's day of founding. (and it is not a coincidence that the UN location would be in New York.)
The American super rich had no intention of creating a world of peace and cooperation. They saw all this as a wonderful opportunity for the U.S. to rule the world - and it's been working on that since 1945. That's why it encouraged the creation of a European union. It would unite the west for war with - Russia. (The U.S. super rich also used this early period to take over what had been British oil fields - as in the middle east.)
Then it set up the UN for a war with North Korea. So it was that the organization intended to end war became an organization to create war as western nations, including Canada, rushed to obey their American masters. And so it launched a war against North Korea.
Was North Korea a war mongering nation? Well, no... In fact, South Korea was very evil. It's government at the time was made up of collaborators with the Japanese occupation forces of World War Two. It was as brutal and murderous as they come. And it would remain so for many years after the Korean war. So why did the U.S. turn the United Nations into a war nation - the very thing the UN had been formed to put an end to?
It had nothing to do wiith evil North Koreans. The U.S. super rich wanted a war with China. America's puppet in China, the extremely corrupt and world champion drug dealer that the U.S. supported, Chiang Kai Shek had been defeated by a communist revolution. The U.S. super rich wanted to attack China so they could plunder and murder all over it just as the British super rich had. And North Korea would be an excellent base for such an attack. That's why Canadians and British and French and many others died in Korea. And that's when the UN became an American tool for aggression.
And so the UN, founded to end wars, became a device to supply the American super rich with killers. (The British, who had just lost their empire, one of the most murderous and savage in history, happily became military servants for the U.S., even as the U.S. was stealing bits and pieces of the old British Empire.
So it was that the UN, founded to end war, became a tool to create it.
And that takes us to the war we don't hear much about. We live in a world so heavily and dangerously armed that nuclear war is closer than it ever has been. Far from reducing the threat of a nuclear war that would rain tens of thousands of nuclear bombs on us, all of them more powerful than Hiroshima and Nagasaki, we are closer than we ever have been for this war.
And it's all to help American super-rich (and their friends in Canada and Britain and others).
We are a long way from the ideals of 1945. We're a million years from them. And we're inches from a nuclear war.

Canadian Liberals and Conservatives as well as America's Republicans and Democrats - and all going back as early as George Washington who was, get used to it, an Englishman whose values came straight from the British upper classes, - all were and are believers in the right of the very rich to rule.
In no sense were any of them fans of democracy. They believed in rule by the rich and for the rich. That's why they gave us a form of "democracy" that had nothing democratic about it. It was and is a system dominated by the power of the super rich. (Indeed, George Washington's constitution gave a president the right to exclude the very poor from the right to vote.)

Both of those papers - yes, including the prestigious New York Times - have a long record of dishonesty. Both of them, for example, never reported the American butchery of 200,000 Guatemalans - almost all of them Christians - and including clergy and nuns.

We, in the western world, call our western world "capitalist". Well, yeah,, sort of.
In fact, capitalism is not very different from the way we governed several thousand years ago. (In the late days of the Roman Empire, the imperial guards murdered the emperor and sold the title by auction to the wealthiest applicant. And that's very much like the way western governments rule to this day.
We call it capitalism. Okay. But a more useful title would be greed. And all of our wars have been fought to benefit our greediest citizens. George Washington fought Indian wars murdering huge numbers of men, women and children to steal their land for greedy land owners - like George Washington. The British Empire murdered at least 400 million people who were no threat to Britain but could readily be plundered.
Both World Wars One and Two were fought by the greedy against the greedy to steal the wealth of the other side. The First World war was fought by nations in which capitalism was rapidly growing. The various powers, therefore, fought to destroy the other side, also capitalist, and to capture their markets.
So why did Canada go to war in 1914? Canada was suckered in, starting with the Boer War, by an appeal to its brotherhood with Britain and it's devotion to the royal family.
And World War 2? It was the same. The capitalists of Europe and of Japan and of Canada didn't give a damn about Hitler's murder of Jews. Hitler, as he faced Russia, was their kinda guy. They were very late in changing their minds - but they did change them when it became obvious Hitler's capitalism was a threat to the capitalism of countries like Britain and France.
(This is not a criticism of the people who fought in these wars. All of them, on both sides, were convinced that they were fighting in a just cause. Our politicians, capitalists, and news media made sure of that. - and they still do.)
Why did U.S. capitalists want to enter World War Two in Europe? It was to steal resources like the British owned oil fields of the middle east. And, if possible, to steal European plunderlands like China, Vietnam....
Over the years, Canadian, American and other capitalists have learned how to keep their money and to avoid taxes. This is made even more damaging by their ownership of many political parties (such as Democrats, Republicans, Liberals, Conservatives...) This latter is also what enables capitalists to demand and get unearned billions of dollars from governments - while ordinary people starve - as is happening today.
And the great Empire of our time that may equal the ravages and brutalities of the British Empire, is the American empire -as in Latin America and the Middle East.
Are we prepared to deal with all this?
I see little sign of it.
