July 4: The End of The News.

I'm preparing this in case I need to send something earlier than usual. My computer will be off for repairs sometime very soon. So this is being prepared now in case my computer has to go at a bad time.

Meanwhile, most of the press seem to be floundering in a world that has profoundly and dangerously changed. Most of them, so far as I can tell, just don't tell the truth. Others just - flounder.

American democracy, if it ever existed, has long since vanished. But most of the press prefer not to notice that. Britain has collapsed into a long, dark tunnel. And it ain't coming back.

Canada is busy shovelling billions into the pockets of billionaires, even the ones who are killing us with their pollution.  Prime Minister Trudeau prefers not to talk about his kissing up to  the most vicious (not just Trump) American political leaders.

It is quite possible, even probable, that either Trump or Biden will decide on war against China - and will expect Canada to take part.

We live in a world that abandoned all we said we were fighting for until 1945. Instead, we have had endless wars to please the super-rich. A whole continent (Latin America) has become a place of destruction of democracy, of mass murder, of starvation of civilians and children - all to please American (and Canadian) billionaires.
 We have created a scale of  horror and greed that exceeds anything the world has known before.

Not surprisingly, our billionaires own most of the major news media. So we don't hear much of this.

What are we planning for the future? Nothing. We have allowed the super wealthy to create a world with no  future. We are ruled by a capitalism that is interested in nothing but it's own greed. And we are informed by news media that really have nothing to say.

Isn't it terrible what China is doing? Seriously - the Chinese are acting just like Americans.

And in those seventy years, Canada and the U.S. have done......nothing.

Actually Trump support has changed very little in the last several months. It's still at 42%. On the Democrat side, support for Biden is more, far more, about hatred for Trump than for any love of Biden. And this does not suggest any happiness or pride or purpose in a post-election U.S. It might though, suggest a nuclear war against China to please American capitalists.

Don't worry about the Chinese government. The people who are driving us into poverty are our own billionaires - with the help of the Liberals and the Conservatives.

Donne-moi un break. Almost all governments hire people - foreigners - to kill their enemies. This goes back at least to the early days of the British empire.
Before the U.S.  declared war on Afganistan, it supplied Afghans with money and weapons to kill Russians. It tried to hire Cubans to kill Cubans. It hired foreigners to murder 200,000 Guatemalans.

The Democrat party is really not much different from Trump.

In the U.S., Republicans and Democrats share the same masters. The U.S. is and always has been a fake democracy. The same is true of Canada's  Liberals and Conservatives.

Very true. Politically, there is no left in the U.S. There's not even a moderate, middle of the road.

This mess cannot be fixed by the existing political parties. Indeed, both of the parties are what created the mess.

Could this happen in Canada or the U.S.?     Well, yes. In fact, it already does happen in Canada and the U.S,

The U.S. is not a democracy. It never has been. The U.S. is entirely owned by it's super rich. Neither of those parties is ever going to do the American people any good.

Canada is a little better but, alas, like Americans, Canadians seem to prefer being ruled by the partys of the super rich, those people for whom we exist only to make them richer.

Unlike Americans, Canadians have made some improvements. Canadians have medicare. Americans have only sickness and death or, if they're lucky, just enough money to pay horrible medical costs that drive them into bankruptcy.

The crisis both Americans and Canadians face? For Canadians it's their super rich who are leading the rest of us into disaster. For Americans it's their super rich who have already created the disaster.

The survival of animal life is essential to the survival of us. But our Liberals, Conservatives, Republicans and Democrats have no interest in the survival of animal life - or of us.

Like Canada, Britain became a puppet state of the U.S. after World War 2. So we now join in to kill civilians - especially children - in Venezuela. Oh! Canada. God bless America. God Save What's-her-name.

For those of you think Ontario's premier Doug Ford is an ecological disaster, you're quite right. Alas! That description fits quite a few of Canada's provincial premiers.
