April 4::: The more things change, the more stary t're the same.

This one is a little short because not much of the news is new. As an added hazard to my life, my print of if is so small as to be nearly aabsent/ Changing the sign of the print doesn't seem  to work.... Anyone who knows how to do this, drop me a line.

These are the groups called 'evangelical' Christians. They are the core of Trump supporters with most of them also believers that Trump was sent by God ( or is God) so that evangelicals  will go to heaven while all others of this world will burn for eternity in hell.

The shocker on this one is that the NDP actually supports the Alberta government on a scheme that looks VERY unwise.

American life has always been designed to serve the super rich. Thatt's why, for example, most Americans can't afford medical care. That's why just about every war the U.S. has fought was fought to benefit the super rich of the time.

That''s what the American revolution was really all about, and the American invasions of Canada, of Mexico, of the wars against aboriginal people, it's late intervention in World Wars one and two, it's sonquests in Latin America and The Phillipines, it's middle east wars.

Everthing is to make the rich richer. That's why nobody gives a damn that Americans can't afford to be sick. The purpose of health care in the U.S. is to make profits for the super rich. That is also and increasingly true of education at all levels.

Though our news media have rarely touched on the issue, The U.S. has beggarred almost every government in Latin America. And Canada has helped it.

For the first time in history, Haiti had, briefly, a democrraticalyy elected governmentt. But the U.S. put an end to that  with an invasion of Haiti. It destroyed the elected government, then called on Canada to finish the job by sending police and troops to Haiti.

As usual, the Canadian    government and the Canadian news media  accepted  the 'honour'. And so democracy in Haiti was destroyed, and dictatorhiip ruled

O, Canada.

Let's get real. The U.S. is controlled in it's governments and it's media by the greed of it's super rich. At root, it is not diffferent from Hitler's Germany.or, for that matter, not different from the old, British Empire.

There really isn't much more news around at this point. But this is worth much further study.  For example, the U.S. and,  to a degree, Canada is throwing billions at the super rich while ordinary people are dropping into poverty.
That is especially true in the U.S. where the millions of unemployed are starving but where they have to wait for (inadequate) help - for at least a wait of three months.

So how do they pay there rent? How do they feed there families?  Who cares?

Oh, one of the rich getting immediate help  with his possessions is -  wait for it - Donald Trump.

I don't know where this is going. Americans are stuck with a political system that has been government by the rich and for the rich. They show very little sign of getting over that.  But -

As this gets uglier, it  could get a whole lot angrier and more violent. And it could be aviolence of the poor against the poor.

It's also  quite possible that the super rich will demand a world war againt China and Russia before they whole American system collapses.
