The above article is quite true. But it will never appear in the commercial news media dominated by billionaire ownership.

Note-------this next item is a voice recording.
Contrary to common beliefs, Canada has a long and brutal history of racism - against Blacks, native peoples, Jews, Japanese, Chinese and anyone who's "different". I've seen it all my life in most provinces. I lived it as an English-speaking person in Quebec. I saw it as a 12 year old in a boy scout camp where the boys of a Chinese troop were constantly humiliated and attacked by the other boys, and where the Jewish troop at meal time when all the troops gave their camp yell. One by one the troops ended their yell with their troop name and a 'rah, rah, rah'.
When the Jewish troop ended their yell with "YMHA, rah, rah, rah', the whole Christian mess hall would answer - Ha, Ha, Ha.
And never once did I hear the Christian camp staff reply to that.

Take a good look at the photo of Kamala Harriss. Tell me she represents Black America.

...and a voice of sanity.
Quite so. World Wars One and Two were really both the same war. Both were the war of capitalists against capitalists. In world war 1, the European powers on both sides were fighting to defend their capitalists against competition from capitalists on the other side. When it ended, British and French capitalists imposed terms on the German capitalists that destroyed them.
So it was that a humiliated and suffering Germany gave rise to a Hitler and to a World War Two that was really just an extension of World War One.
And why was the U.S. so slow to enter World War Two? Well, for a start, many American capitalists admired Hitler because he would put a stop to the spread of communism. Thus Henry Ford's admiration of Hitler. Thus the willingness of the American Rockefellers to supply Germany with oil for it's army, navy and airforce for the whole war up to 1945.
Generally, though, American capitalists decided to enter the war because in doing so they could take over domination of the European empires, notably Britain. That worked out for African oil sources but, to the fury of American capitalists, was blocked by the Chinese revolution. And that is what caused the American invasion of Korea, (with God's help and the assistance of countries like Canada) to make the whole world the American empire.
And that is why the west has had a series of wars for the last 150 years or so. That is why the U.S. sponsored an invasion of Canada by it's civil war veterans. That is why Britain demanded Canada sent troops for the Boer War. (It was to set up Canada for taking part in WW1.) That is why, since 1945, the U.S. has called on Canada to take part in American wars of capitalist conquest as in Afghanistan, Haiti, Congo, Korea, Syria.... - just as Canada used to fight capitalist wars for Britain.
Who knows? We might soon be saluting the American flag in our schools. And it might be soon - very soon.....for God and capitalism.

As I noted in my last post, the world news, both commercial and social, seems to be slowing considerably. Neither of them is saying as much as needs to be said about the role of capitalism in this terrible decay of societies and nations. Neither of them has said much about where this is leading us with a U.S. and a Canada quite likely to fall into a permanent chaos as they fail to deal not only with a capitalism running wild but with massive inaction on the huge challenges of earthly change. Yes. It's real. Yes. It destroys. Yes, we have very little time. No. Capitalism will not do anything about it. It has done nothing about it for 30 years.
We have spent (wasted) all the years since 1945 on wars, almost all of them to satisfy the greed of capitalism. We fought a war (supposedly) against German racism of this world - and ever soon that war have justified our wars by our racist propaganda. Yes. All our routine wars since 1945 have been justified by charges of racism - Chinese are racists, Muslims are racist, Guatemalans are racist... but we are good.
We have very little time. And we're wasting it.
