November 5: There is no good news. Capitalism has won. Greed has won.

 I feel ill about writing what I now have to write. I said a long time ago that we humans are, above all animals, unique in our evil and greed. No other creature acts in this way. We are the victims of evil and we are evil itself.

The American elections should be seen in this context.

I wrote earlier that the American elections are evil itself. But that is scarcely unusual. The British Empire, the Roman Empire, the French Empire, the Belgian Empire all built empires of evil. And this lust for conquest and abuse goes far, far back into history. And it's purely a human characteristic. We are the most savage and brutal of all living creatures.

British capitalists wanted to make money out of China as early as the late 1700s. But Britain lacked the wealth to  control the Chinese market. So it turned to India to plunder it's vast store of opium; and it used that to buy control of China. It was stilll pushing opium in China (in what must have been been the greatest drug trade in history) in 1940. By then, it's biggest pusher was Chiang Kai Sheck until he was overthrown by the communists who banned the trade because it was such a destructive business. (Chiang then fled to found Taiwan, the piece of China that we helped the Christian Chiang to save.)

(The much admired Winston Churchill was a brutal player in the game of empire, happily starving millions to death.)

And George Washington? He's the one who murdered millions of America's native peoples - right down to babies - to steal their land. And the US to this day is the most murderous nation in the world.

When I, an anglo, was living in Quebec, the French, bursting with  virtue, began abusing and expelling us because this was French soil. In fact, it was not and is not French soil. The French stole it by stealing the land that had been the land of the Mohawks and other native peoples.

But, oh, we love our plundering and killing. Thus the American display of their political virtue as revealed in elections.

__________________________________________________________________

For about half of the election turnout, the issue is making American great again - which is the short way of saying America should be killing more foreigners in order to steal their land and resources. Thus the need for uncounted wars all over the world. Their must be few countries left that have not felt the sting of American mass murder, of starvation,torture and bombing of all targets from babies to the elderly. It's reminiscent, really, of the human slaughter of American native peoples by George Washington. We really haven't seen a break in this since about 1949.

And Canada has joined the killing since 1945. Britain and the British empire weren't worth fighting for any more, so Canadians kissed up to their American masters - as in Latin America, Korea, Syria, Afghanistan...if the U.S. tells us to kill people - men, women, children...we salute and do it. Many Canadians are proud of that - especially the Canadian Legion and more than a few Canadian war historians. We serve American killers just as we once served the king.

And no. I'm not proud to be  Canadian.

With the appearance of Covid, we toss Canadians - men, women and children - into the streets, there to sicken and die. But our billionaires, by serving the U.S., are actually prospering. So it is that while children die of hunger, While schools are hopelessly underfunded, while the rich can send their children to private schools billionaires like New Brunswick's Irvings can demand and get billions of dollars of our money to keep them happy.

No. I'm not proud to be Canadian.

That brings us to the Democrat  party in the U.S. as the party of a glorious future.

Donne -moi un break.

The Democrat party, like the Republicans has been evil from the start. So when and Obama becomes president, he murders people from all over the world, just like Republicans. His Obamacare is largely farce. Under his leadership and under Biden's, the purpose of the Democrat party is to  serve the rich, slam most of the population, lower incomes....(American incomes have been going  down for forty years and more. Yes. The paychegues get a little bigger - but the cost of living keeps rising much higher. So Americans are poorer today than they have been for at least forty years.)

Much the same has been happening in Canada. But cheer up. The wealthiesst Canadian is, David Thomson who owns Reuters Press. That is quite an example. of why most Canadian news media never tell the truth. The same is true in the U.S. Almost all newspapers, radio stations, TV stations are staffed by liars.

Oh, and don't go to church. Churches almost all avoid discussing our media and our politics. And they almost never criticize or even mention our murderous and anti-Christian behaviour. That's been true for most of 2,000 years. When George Bush Sr. hired a mass of thugs to murder some 400,000 quite innocent Christians in Guatemala,, our news media never mentioned it. And wiping off the blood, Bush returned to his regular attendance at his church.

In World War Two in Europe, all the major powers who murdered each other were Christians. In some 2,000 years of Christianity, it is almost unheard of for Christians of any country to oppose a war. The use of atomic bombs was pretty vile. But I have never heard of it being criticized by any clergy. As the U.S. kills millions with it's bombing of civilians, no clergy question it. They all praise God and bless our side.

The teaching of Jesus has been ignored almost all the time since Jesus came down from the cross. (Ever wonder how,  in a Christian nation, children and the poor can be left to die in the streets while billionaires get bigger mansions?

What will happen if the Democrats win the election? They will do exactly what the Republicans did - ignore the poor and the homeless, make big profits for the rich,and murder more men, women and children all over the world.

________________________________________________________________

In the U.S. and Canada and Britain and others, war has won. Christianity has been trashed. (So has Judaism). Evil has won. And we have made it the winner. We are murderers in a tradition of murderers that goes back uncounted years.

Who will win the American election? We have created a world in which only the most savage and vile are respected.

Democrats? Republicans?

It doesn't matter. Evil has won. And we---have just watched it with our faces hanging out.

No. I really didn't want to write this.
