Funny how our local news media haven't mention this.

As families around the world fall into deep poverty - homeless, without food, without hope, and facing horrible deaths by war - the super rich go on with hugely expensive mansions, and now with billion dollar resorts on tropical islands where magnificent homes are built far below the surface for protection against nuclear attack.
While children and adults live in the filth and hunger of the streets, the super rich are actually making more money than ever. And much of that money comes from the suffering of the growing numbers of the poor.
The U.S. has the biggest war budget in the world. Guess why. For defence? Get real. It's a 'defence' budget that provides super contracts for the super rich. And where does the money for this come from? It comes from what could be a budget to feed the hungry and house the homeless. And so to enrich the super rich. The super rich are getting richer - much richer - on the suffering of millions. And the super rich have nothing but contempt for the rest of us.
And the blame for that in Canada and the U.S. lies on the major political parties - Democrats, Republicans, Liberals and Conservatives. All four of those parties have been the errand boys of the super rich going all the way back to their founding. And they (with, alas, our help) are destroying us.
The Irving family of New Brunswick, for example, gets lush government contracts with having to compete for them. They pay no income taxes - and few taxes of any sort. They also get lush grants from our taxes - and for reasons that are never mentioned to us peasants.
The character of these people, like the characters of the kings and emperors and aristocrats who preceded them, is contempt for all of us. And that's why we are now facing the biggest economic and social crash we have ever seen.
The super rich are vicious, murderous, arrogant and vile. And we have encouraged that for thousands of years by obeying them, and now by voting for them their flunkee politicians.
Now, we are close, very close, to the final disaster.

As I said earlier, the super-rich have nothing but contempt for the poor. And a this crisis goes on, the super-rich are handing themselves monster profits while they and the government are happily killing the poor with filth and hunger

Well - it's not just Trump. It's the whole social world of Trump, a world in which even he is a relatively small player. And it's also the whole, servile role of American political parties.
Part of the reason for this is a school system that teaches a bullshit history of America. (History in Canadian schools is similar.) George Washington was not a great lover of democracy. The North did not fight the civil war to free the slaves. And to suggest that the U.S. spread democracy is absurd. In fact, it destroyed any democracy there was in Latin America. It has murdered and plundered over much of the world.(Canadians should remember the many American invasions of our country.)
But insteach, we get kind of idiocy can be found in American and Canadian schools and, I regret to say, in universities.
And that's why most countries have delusions about their past and, therefore, about their present.

In 2,000 years, Christian churches have never opposed a war which their countries supported. Jesus, apparently, was fully on the side of Canada, the U.S., Britain---and Hitler. All at the same time

I still remember vividly the day I had been sent home from my grade six class for being late. My mother simply scooped me up to take a tram to downtown Montreal where I saw the streets jammed with cheering people. One carried a big sign. "We've won the the war. Now we've got to win the peace."
Wow! The war at least the German war, was over. My father would be coming home.
He did come home. But peace didn't come. In particular, American capitalists didn't want peace. They wanted it to go on for a world conquest by the American super rich, supported by their flunkies in Canada, Britain and others. It's now the 75 year war.
Our capitalists never did win that war - and it's most likely they never will.
But they'll go on sending others to do the killing and dying for them.
And for the rest of us, we lost the peace.

The super rich depend on the Doug Fords of this world to send all money to them - and to hell with the consequences.

Surprised? You shouldn't be. Canada has always been profoundly racist. And it still is.

As I go through our commercial news media, I can get no sense at all of how dangerous this is, and of how little we're doing to handle it in an intelligent way. We have world crises. For example, we have a wide range of climate change issues that can make our planet unlivable - soon. But the Doug Fords and Donald Trumps and, indeed, all of our Liberals,Conservatives, Democrats and Republicans are making it worse on the bidding of our super-rich. We are close to the greatest and most destructive war this world has ever seen - and let's drop the crap about how evil our enemies are. We are more evil.
All of our wars, incidentally, have been criminal in the murdering of civilians including children. The only difference since 1945 is that they are deliberately aimed mostly at civilians and children, something our news media usually fail to mention. These killings, in law, are illegal. We are openly starving uncounted millions to death. Children in Venezuela, for example, are being starved - along with their parents - by the U.S. to force that country to hand over it's oil industry to American (and Canadian) oil billionaires. And that is fully supported by that nice Mr. Trudeau. Your tax dollars at work.
The super rich, as always, are the most evil and vicious people on this planet. And this, with today's super weapons, can destroy all of us.
In ancient Rome, the death of an upper class person set the stage for a splendid funeral. But among most of the population, the dead were simply scooped up and dumped by thousands into huge pits.
We have to change. And we have less, much less, than a lifetime to do it.
