August 29: Bad, bad news.

Sorry to be almost a day late with this. It was my birthday, and my children held a birthday party for me and gave me gifts and lavish meals. Did you do that? No! So I delayed he blog.

I doubt whether Biden or Trump has any idea of what a Marxist is. And even all American voters have no idea. But they will passionately  vote against any politician  who anybody says he is a Marxist. (Heck, even Russia was never Marxist. For that matter,  I have to admit that I don't have much understanding of it. )

No matter. We have been told for over a hundred years it is evil. And there are those, especially Americans,who regard Canada's medicare as Marxist.

Americans toss out the poor to live and die on the streets. But that is virtuous. For the last 70 years, the U.S. has been carrying out wars all over the world - good old-fashioned wars of murder and plunder. But, hey, that's what makes America great.

In short, Americans - and many Canadians - have no idea what democracy is (or, far that matter, what Christianity is.)

What they have is simply a bundle of slogans, prejudices, and propaganda. That's why they're proud of an army that murders civilians and has come to specialize in the mass murder of childern and even babies.

God bless America - just like He used to bless the British Empire.

We see ourselves, homo sapiens, as the most moral of all animal species. In fact, we are the most evil creatures on this planet. With only a few lapses, other animals kill only to eat. (So, for that matter, do we). But we also kill for pure greed, for control over ourselves and all other creatures. Every war we have ever fought has been fought for greed on at least one side.

Or do you think that the U.S. has been killing in Afghanistan and the rest of the middle east out of Christian love?

Meanwhile, the U.S. is going through an election in which both parties (as in almost all U.S. elections) are pretty much the same.

Why is Canada getting tough with Venezuela? Well, it's so that American (and Canadian) billionaires can steal control of Venezuela's oil fields. In particular, Canada is playing bumboy for American capitalists - a role Canada plays all over Latin America.

Let's wake up, shall we? The reason Assange has been a prisoner for many years and has suffered torture is because he's a journalist who told the truth. And most of our newspapers don't report on this is because most of our newspapers are staffed by liars.

Not to worry. The U.S. can expand into the Arctic by annexing Canadian territory.

I have mixed feelings about this. It seems to suggest there once was a time in the U.S. and Canada when the  super rich were inactive. But that part of it isn't true.

Indeed, the super rich in most of the world have been a major force going back for many thousands of years. However, there's reason to believe they're getting worse.

The excessive language of this next item weakens it. But it's true enough - and this may very well apply to Canada as well. What it describes is the American empire which is the victim of it's own capitalism. But the British Empire up to capitalism was very similar. It wasn't capitalist - but it was much the same. And you get those similarities in every empire I have ever heard of.

And Canada will asked (told) to take part in this greatest blood-spilling in history.

And Europe? It will almost certainly refuse to take part.
