January 27: Do we have the brains - or courage - to face reality and to change it?

 I hesitate to write this. I'm sorry I wrote it. I'm sorry I had to write it. We have one hell of a change to face and, well, we humans are not good at dealing with change.

Maybe the best thing to do is to read only your local newspaper and follow the usual, bland news on your local radio, TV. After all, why work up a rage about the things you'll never read or hear about in your local bland and soothing news source.

I mean, should we really care that the city of Toronto sticks the homeless into tents which, for a start, are really not healthy in winter,  and that fosters stunning rates of pandemic illness. What the hell... let 'em die as they infect each other. Of course, the U.S. government plans to give the millions of the homeless as much as $600 each. At the same time it is giving billions to the super rich. That dwarfs the spending for the sick and hungry.

As an aside, the giving of huge sums of money to the super rich who promptly hide it for themselves has been going on for some years The really rich don't really get just billions. It  now, even as children starve and the poor die, amounts to trillions. That's why the super rich are now making more money than ever in history. And that's why, even as the rich have more wealth than ever,  national wages in the U.S. have not improved in years.

The U.S. of today has a striking resemblance to the Roman mob as it fell into disorder and poverty. Indeed, it resembles all the great empires - Rome, Egypt, Greece, Britain.... At the end of World War Two, the U.S. embarked  on plundering the whole world. That's certainly not a secret. And that is why we live in a world that murders civilians and children and babies by the millions. That's why Africans are starving as their agriculture collapses. (Yes. The agriculture that fed  thousands of generations is breaking down all over the world. It's happening all over the world. In Africa, millions are dying now from starvation. And there is no improvement planned or in sight or even in planning.)       

Meanwhile, American billionaires (trillionaires) with routine help from countries like Canada are plundering the earth, completely ignoring the inevitability of destruction of all of us. (And those twits of Canada's military historians have offered their idiocy about how Canada sent troops to Afghanistan to bring democracy. Significantly, our commercial news media never picked up on this story. Well, what the hell! Our commercial news media never picked up on it - or on the Canadian role in crushing a democratic Haiti, or on the CIA slaughter of priests, nuns and missionaires in Guatemala.  A Canadian missionairy who was killed in Guatemala is largely unkown even in his home province of New Brunswick. That's because he's buried in his home town of Bouctouche, a town that founded the Irving billionaire family.  They also own all the newspapers, and the Irvings don't run stories about people who died for good causes.

(Is it really that   cheap and shoddy and petty?   You bet.   The Irvings are also the family who are bombing New Brunswick with poison gas to improve their forestry business. Well, yes. It does do a great deal to poison people and destroy animal  life. But don't look into New Brunswick's Irving press to say anything about that.)

The whole history of human kind is a history of mass murder, of exploitation, of enslavement, of exploitation.... The outstanding example of it today is the super-rich of  the U.S. and it's bum boy, Canada. And there's a crisis on the way.

The U.S. needs to destroy China. It routinely sends warships into waters claimed by China China. - This could well start a nuclear war. Yesterday, a Chinese warship ordered the U.S. to get one of its warships out of Chinese waters. Luckily,  the U.S. backed off. But the presence of American warships - in large numbers - is   very, very dangerous. (What do you think the U.S. would do if China had it's warships parading in, say, New York's harbour? - or even the more remote Pearl Harbour?)

American capitalists are very, very likely to want a war with China. This  is a reality which our news media have rarely bothered to mention.  The U.S. is no longer world's dominant world economy as China is very close  to that dominance.   This is particularly annoying to U.S. capitalists who see Chinese displacing them in an Africa that has had more than enough of the U.S., and even a Latin America that far prefers China to the U.S. As well, much of Europe sees more merit in trade with China than in trade with the U.S .

In short, the U.S. is a fading flower on the world stage. Indeed, it is now destroying even itself as a result of it's presidential election. Alas! The difference between Trump and Biden is not nearly so great as we like to think. And be assured that the capitalists who dominate both American parties are very likely to unite in a final attempt to conquer the world.

The American super rich are determined to go on plundering even their own people - and even especially their own people.

Add to that the devastating effects of climate change (which most of our super rich say isn't happening - wildfires on a scale never before seen, animal destruction, crashing agricultural collapse, poisoning of the earth by oil - - all those things the super rich say aren't happening  - but which ARE happening - and at a tremendous pace. 

Democracy is pretty much - a word - and nothing more than a word.

And what will the rich do help the poor and cure this? Get real. They haven't done a damn thing to help anybody but themselves. And we let them do it. This greed and self-serving is and alway has been a product of human minds which place enormous powers on the most wretchedly evil and greedy of humanity. 

And I do not hesitate to use the words evil and greedy. This has been a characteristic of  humans - and only humans - from the start as we simply dump the poor and hungry to die  in the streets even as the super rich take greater control over them and the rest of us. This is a history that we are facing just as the Roman mob did. And in almost all wars between Christians for  the last 2,000 years, the churches have supported their side - as Christians supported  the English  (and Canada) in Britain - but the Germans, also Christians, supported Hitler. They have also supported all  the "Christian" wars since the beginning - the British and American and Dutch and French. And they have been remarkably silent as in wars against North America's native peoples. (They were even silent while Americans murdered priests, nuns and missionaries in Guatemala.)

More recently, we and our churches have been silent as we destroy our planet's land, waters, wild life,  climate......, a campaign that ultimately will destroy us, all of us. And we do it for the super greed of our super rich. Wars,  after all, are what create our superrich in the first place.

Wars put all a nation's  wealth at the feet of the rich - to develop their weapons factories, to put all our taxes at the feet of the super rich. (The super rich, of course, pay very little tax as the rest of us pay for their wars.)

Based on that system - which was also the basic system for the British Empire and all the other empires - it has made the super rich even richer. Wars are almost all fought in the interest of the super rich - but only rarely fought by them.

The U.S. has now put uncounted tens of millions of adults, children, elderly to die on the streets. The immense fortunes of the super rich must be kept by the super rich while the government taxes those poor who still have jobs so that the tax money ---can be used to help homeless? ----No. It's so that money can be used to help the super rich to get even richer. In fact, the U.S. (and Canada) have been acting on that principle for almost all of their history - though the U.S. is the one that has been the super lover of the super rich from their start.

The U.S. is murdering and plundering in grand style in the middle east and Latin America with help of Canada - something our Canadian news media prefer not to talk about. And we are almost certainly headed for a war in China.

Is China likely to go to war? It won't have much choice. And it is likely to get support from Russia. Isn't that evil? Maybe. But it's a hell of a lot better than the more than a century and a half of western murdering and plundering of China.

And, oh, there's so much to write about.

China  is communist? So what? Communism is what made it possible for the Chinese to overcome the many years of capitalist plundering.

In a similar case, it was communism that enabled Russia to overcome it's crushing aristocracy. And without that, Russia would probably have lost to Hitler - and that would probably have meant one hell of a defeat to us.

And it's not as if capitalism is as pure as the driven snow. It has maintained the U.S. as a nation of murderers and a humiliater and starver of it's own people. Look at the condition of the American people today - and tell me why you think communism is bad and capitalism is good. (No. I am neither a communist nor a capitalist.)

To those who vote Liberal or Conservative or Democrat or Republican, you have brought us to the gates of their hell. And, oh, the gates are for a final hell this time.

Will the U.S. change? Not likely. Americans, submerged under centuries of myth about how wonderful they are are not likely to dig out of this one. Indeed, the U.S. itself may not be able to continue existence.

Will Canada change? Fingers crossed on that one. I would have no great faith in Trudeau or any province that would elect a Liberal or a Conservative.

And, oh, I'm sorry I had to write this.

Dec. 19: Merry Christmas to all the murdering and theiving leaders of this world.

Consortium news carries the story of a recent study of tax cuts for the rich. The government argument for this is that tax cuts for the rich create a trickle down that means financial benefits for all of us.

But recent studies show they do no such thing. In fact, incomes in the U.S,  especially, have been going down, not up. The super rich have been getting even richer. The rest of us have been getting poorer. All this has been especially marked in the last fifty years. Indeed, it goes back much, much further.

Throughout history the super rich have trashed the poor and even the not so poor. In this past, and even up to this day, the super rich have had nothing but contempt for those beneath them. The ordinary child in Britain - up to the early 1900s - could expect only hard work, long hours, danger, filth and low, low pay from the age of five or six. The same was widely true in Canada and the U.S.

School? Good luck. Our great, great grandparents saw little of any schooling - if they saw any at all. The very rich, of course, have expensive private schools. I well remember my own childhood classes were overfilled (as they still are) and most of my classmates  (and me) never finished school because nobody expected us to. Some of my friends left school as early grade four. There were some as late as grade 9 who couldn't yet read - not even comic books. 

The rich kids, of course, grew up in a society which expected private schooling, small classes - and it had children who expected to finish school because finishing is what their social class did. (many years later, I was a university teacher. To my surprise, the rich kids were not particularly smart. The smartest kids I taught were Jewish - who, for the most part, were not rich in those days. But Judaism has a high respect for education.

It's hard to tell because their numbers were smaller, but the Japanese I taught (the victims of Canada's prison camps for Japanese Canadians) were also impressive. One Japanese Canadian I knew back when he got out of the prison camp became a brilliant medical doctor.

Are there rich kids and dumb kids? Maybe. But I'm flexible on that because in high school I was one of the dumb kids that the principal called down to say to me, "Let's face it Decarie, you have no brains at all. Empty your desk and find a job."

Being born into a poor family is what makes a lot of kids dumb. We're about to see lots of dumb kids in the U.S. as millions are turned into the streets. But don't worry about rich kids. They become smart in their expensive schools.

_____________________________

I wrote the above to give meaning to my real point.

Our super rich have taken control of our lives and our destinies. And they have no intention of improving that for the rest of us. And this is not the first time this happened. It's a pattern that has been repeated many, many times for thousands of years.  This was how kings operated, and the emperors of Rome. The common people were made into trash to be abused, used, and tossed aside.

This is happening to us. That's why American (and Canadian) super rich pay minimal taxes - if any. In fact,  the amount they pay has been dropping dramatically for a good, fifty years. While millions lose jobs and are forced onto the streets, the super rich have actually been getting richer. That's why millions of Americans have no homes, no food, no hope. At the same time, the super rich actually have wealth in trillions of dollars. And that's why we live in a world crawling with poverty and human abuse. And, no,  it's not going to get better. Even as you read this, the super rich, the most evil people on this earth, are ensuring that all the wealth goes to them and only to them.

Since 1945, we have had nothing but war. That's largely because the super rich make their money out of war. They murder millions to steal resources - but they don't do the fighting. No. They use the rest of us to become mass murderers for them. (They specialize in murdering children.) They have made Latin America and Africa into horrors for the living. With greed as their only interest, they are destroying this planet. That's no exaggeration. Their abusing  of nature is destroying our oceans, making fatal changes to our climate, destroying the Arctic and the Antarctic, making huge areas unlivable for their crashing by fire. Our Canadian hero, Mr. Irving, is poisoning the land and the forests of New Brunswick - and poisoning  the people and the wild life in the process.

And we, alas, stand by with our faces hanging out. Worse, millions of us have dropped into poverty. And it's not likely to improve.

Remember these names - for Canada, David Thomson makes over 39 billion. Much of that comes from ownership of news media. Think of that next time you buy a newspaper. Lower on the billionaire list, but also the monopoly owner of all news media in New Brunswick is Irving. This year, Canadian billionaires are actually up 37 billion dollars - in just one year. And these are the same billionaires who have been cutting wages for the rest of us.

Another group of major billion dollar players in a very big way is - wait for it - China - which is sweeping American trade off the map.

Merry Christmas. We are living in a typically human period of very evil exploitation, the kind of evil that has always marked our earthly existence. Either we change that now or we go down  with all the failed periods of history.

Check out the story above. (just go to The Intercept on your computer. Checking on the sentence above won't get you anywhere.)

In Afghanistan, highly trained special ops troops, the ultimate American heroes, are being used to lead their Afghanistan allies in night time attacks. These attacks are aimed at residential schools where they murder children as a warning to leave the schools.

That's not original, of course. American heroes have a record now going back some 75 years of very deliberate mass murder of children and babies. (No. I'm not exaggerating. In their days of empire, the British did much the same - in their case inflicting death by mass starvation. Winston Churchill was big on that.)

Funny how our news media never mention these stories.

Our human world has a savage history. We are not, to put it kindly, nice people. For two thousand years we have gone to Christian churches without in the least following the teaching of Christ. Indeed, the Christian churches have always been cheerleaders for our wars. When Christian churches in Canada supported war in `1939, those same churches in Germany supported Hitler. The Jesus jumping U.S. has been mass murdering people for the past seventy years. When did you last hear a sermon on this?

_____________________________________________________________

I really have to go back to something I tried briefly some months ago. It involved lifting the news stories, in full colour and text, and letting them tell the stories. I've been finding it a difficult thing to do for this retarded blogger. But I'm searching for someone who can tell me how to do it.

___________________________________________________________

The Evil we worship...

I came across a disappointing but true story today while playing on the computer. I went to the web site  for the Canadian war museum in Ottawa. There, I found a sentence I didn't want to see. The museum had a recent section on the time Canadians sent our troops to the Afghanistan war.

It said that Americans and Canadians went to war in Afghanistan to bring democracy to that country.

This is the purest possible bullshit. And it gets worse. This claim was asserted by eminent Canadian military historians despite the fact that, at the time, nobody even mentioned that as a cause for the war. The truth, as those eminent historians surely knew, was that Afghanistan had beaten off years of Russian attacks.  Nobody in Afghanistan ever heard of democracy or cared about it. Nor did the Canadian government care.

When the Afghanis beat off the Russians, the U.S. burst in to take over what the Russians had tried to do - to take over the mineral wealth of Afghanistan. In fact, that's why the U.S. has massive and expensive armies all over the world. They aren't to help anything but American billionaires - with Canadians getting shares whenever they can.

Did the military historians quoted by the Canadian War Museum know that? Of course they did. To a considerable degree, our military historians are really nothing more than cheerleaders. Afghanistan is just one more propaganda piece for them - just as it was for our news media.

Canadians murdered people in Haiti in order to destroy democracy there. Get ready for the big one. If the U.S. goes to war with China (and it is very likely to), it will be the most horrible killing of adults, children, babies this world has ever seen. It will be a war, like all wars, to benefit the super rich. The history books tell us that we are good and our enemies are evil. The reality is that we are as evil as they come. And, throughout history, the purpose of almost all wars has been to benefit the super rich.

Have you noticed that in this period of impoverishment,  hunger - when millions in the U.S. have plunged into poverty - the super rich are rolling in more money than they have ever had? (No. I'm not exaggerating.)

This is an old story for us humans.

For thousands of years, very rich humans have sent the rest of us into wars to produce wealth - for the very rich. That has characterised all wars. The rest of us pay for the wars with our taxes. Today, for example, the super rich hide the money they should pay as taxes. It's the rest of us who pay the heavy cost of a pentagon, of weapons production, of standing armies... The super rich get the privilege of making fortunes out of the war industries. And in war, it is the rest of us who die in the fighting. That purpose of war for thousands of years has been to enrich the already rich. That's why the wealthy of today's America have stored away uncounted trillions of (note - trillions) of dollars.That's why millions of the American lower classes live on the streets and have to beg for food. That is why much of Latin America and the Middle East suffer horribly and murderously.

And we invent the story that we are fighting for our country or for our Queen. Sometimes we are. More often, as in the oil fields of the middle east, as in Afghanistan, we are fighting - and dying - for the very rich and their unlimited greed.

Will the U.S. go to war with China? Yes.  It will go to war because China has been chewing up what had been American markets. Funny we don't hear about this.

For example, China is now the world's leading nation in trade. Yes. It dominates, among others, Latin America. The U.S. is now number two and going down. This is unacceptable to America's super rich. And they will use war as their response because, as their newspapers tell us, the Chinese are evil. Americans are good.

It will be a war such as never has been seen with civilian deaths that could lead into a billion or more. Canada and others will be invited (ordered) to take part. And a Canadian government bought and owned by Canadian super rich will take part (though none of them will venture into battle.)

The Canadian Legion, which should be working in the interest of the soldiers will, as in the Korean war, be a cheerleader for the super rich. And we, as always, will wave flags and babble about the returning dead as they pass in "Highways for Heroes". (Even now, we are working as agents of the American super rich in the middle east and along the Russian border.)

Humans have, from their earthly start, have been abused and exploited by their own. And for thousands of years this has been monstrously exploited by the super wealthy. And we may well be in the final stages of this as we bow to the super-rich and their passion for control and for unlimited greed.

This Christmas, millions of Americans will go hungry as they try to survive in the streets. But be of good cheer. The super rich (New Brunswick's Irving springs to mind) will be enjoying their richest Christmas ever.)

Dec. 13:Too much to say....

It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world.

(Forgive me. I gave brief start to this post, but soon drifted off into the evil of our very wealthy.And they are very evil, indeed. I really should put in a section on these people, on the power they have inflicted on us in the past - and the horror that now is very close.)

The Canadian government gave Irving of New Brunswick a shipbuilding contract for the Canadian navy. The value was about 10 billion dollars.  But the Irvings never settle for a lousy 10 billion. The cost to us taxpayers is now close to 80 billion. And watch for it to grow. New Brunswick has no money for it's homeless and starving. But, like, you know, New Brunswickers will die to make the Irvings happy.

Strangely, Canadian seldom hear about our leading capitalists. (Partly, that's because they own newspapers like The Globe and Mail  and all the newspapers in New Brunswick, so naturally, they're shy,)

Top dogs are David Johnson, Joseph Tsai, Galen Westen, James Irving - and so it goes. And they're all to shy to appear in the news (which many of them either own or control. That's why honest reporters have gone off to write for the sort of news media I look through. But, while the rest of us are heading out to sleep in fields, Our billionaires, like the American ones, are making the biggest money they have ever made. They also own the best known journalists in Canada, (the ones who are the most gutless journalists in Canada.)>

.....which makes me think. We need to show more respect for our billionaires. And I've thought of a great national anthem to make us more respectful of our masters.

"You made me what I am today.

I hope you're satisfied.

You dragged and dragged me down until

The soul within me died.

You shattered every hope and dream

You fooled me from the start.

And though you're not true

May God bless you.

That's the curse of an aching heart."

Information Clearing House is, perhaps, the best news source on the web. Check out it's story on Israeli treatment of Palestinian children. In violation of all law and decency, Israel has held many, many thousands of Palestinian children in solitary confinement for interrogation that can last for two weeks and more. In that time they are permitted no lawyer - and the interrogation procedures can be severe.

Israel is doing what Hitler could not manage - destroying all the values and principles of Judaism. The final touch will be American supplied weapons to utterly destroy Palestine for a 'greater' Israel.

_____________________________________________________________

In Consortium News, millions of Americans caught in this crisis are being kicked out of their homes and into the streets. No. They aren't the rich ones. No, the American and Canadian super rich have been making their biggest profits in history. It's the rest of us who are getting kicked out. If Mr. Irving want billion or so, he simply has to ask. To hell with everybody else.

The world has probably never seen a festival of poverty and greed to match this. Children, the elderly, the sick - who gives a damn? And it's going to get worse, much worse.

______________________________________________________________

Mind you, there's lots of money for weapons. Children may starve. But warehouses are packed with weapons. In the U.S. in particular, we have never seen so much money being spent for weapons.

Of course. Weapons mean military power. And the American wealthy very much want wars to make themselves richer. In particular, they want war with China. No. It's not because China is a threat. It's because China has actually passed the U.S. in it's world trade.

The American super rich can't allow that. But the super rich have no intention of paying for a war. They never have. They have always expected the general public to put up their money to fight the wars of the rich. It's the general public who pay for the weapons, who put up their tax money. And it's the super rich who bleed their countries dry to fight their wars. Indeed, the rich and the children of the rich are seldom to be found in combat. They use the rest of us to do that, too.

We pay taxes so the super rich can kill at our expense while all the profit of war goes to them.

American children are starving and homeless in their millions? Tough.

What's that? China is evil? That's because the British and Americans have been making it evil for almost 250 years. China did not make itself evil. We did that. In 1945, we could have helped China to rebuild itself,  and to welcome it to the world.

But we didn't do it.

Instead, we attempted to conquer China just four years after World War Two. That's what the Korean war was all about. It was meant to be a duplicate of all the Chinese had suffered from under the horrors of British conquest.

For 70 years American capitalists have been eager to conquer and plunder China. And that, incidentally, is what Canadians died for in Korea. Too bad the Canadian legion has never figured that out.

The wars have been going on for thousands of years.They are the wars of the greedy and ruthless who have been drawing the rest of us in for all those thousands of years. Almost all wars are like that. You think the U.S. joined World War Two because it thought Hitler the Japanese were evil?

Get real

Today, the super rich need our money again - not to feed the hungry, not to educate the children - no. We need it so the super rich can murder a billion or so Chinese and convert the survivors into cheap labour for our capitalist bosses. That's why the American super rich entered the war in Asia. It was to grab the British empire in Asia. And they entered the war in Europe to save the Jews? Come off it. Americans didn't give a damn about the Jews. What they wanted, among other things, was the oil rich British empire in the Middle East. And they got it, happily murdering millions among the peoples of that region.

That's the world we created - you know - when we brought peace and joy and goodness to the world in 1945. And we haven't stopped killing since.

We now live in a world of greed and murder.  It's a world in which the super rich have stuffed the wealth into their own pockets even as the victims in their own countries suffer homelessness and massive starvation. It's a world in which we have abandoned everything we said we fought for in World War Two.

And, oh, what delusions we dream up.

Remember Canada's Highways of Heroes? These are the roads which carried the Canadian dead from Afghanistan. I don't criticize the soldiers for this idiocy. I do criticize the rest of us.

There was no reason for Canadians to be sent to Afghanistan. For that matter, there was no reason to send Americans, either. The people of Afghanistan had just fought a brilliant war against Russia - and won. So why did the U.S. jump in along with Canada to attack the Afghanis?

That, unreported in our news, was because American capitalists wanted certain minerals that existed in Afghanistan. This was, pure and simple, a war for American capitalists to steal the resources of Afghanistan. Why did Canada take part?That's because Canada commonly fights American wars since 1945. Indeed, Canadians have been used more widely than we ever hear about.

There was nothing glorious about our parades of the Canadian war dead. We had signed on for a useless war which had nothing to do with Canada. The dead were heroes? I'll give them that. But not so the rest of us who sent them off in a war that had nothing to do with us.

For thousands of years, the kings and emperors and politicians and capitalists have used the rest of us to fight wars that benefit only them. Now, we live in a world choked by their wars. Now, we're on the edge of their most terrible wars -against, for example, China and Russia. (We have already made the most terrible horror of Latin America, Africa...in the coming years, perhaps weeks, we will hear of dreadful starvation rates in Africa and we will continue to do almost nothing about it.)

The super rich have risen to an astounding level. And they have shown no interest, none whatever, in the survival of the rest of us. And we have very little time to wake up.

  _I must also sometime soon, write a piece on the Christian churches which have had no impact whatever on anything. They have always supported their own political leaders  - as the Christian churches of Germany supported Hitler, as the American churches of today do nothing to criticize the evils of the U.S., as American and Canadian churches have never  taken a position to support native peoples.  What a collection of wimps!

December 9: Thou shallt not kill - unless there's a profit to be made

This is a short one because I have run into some terrible computer problems. I hope to be back among the living in two or three days.

 American billionaires have made over a trillion dollars since March. Isn't that nice?

Of course, somebody had to suffer for this.  The ones who suffered are  the elderly, the children, the millions of whole families who are sleeping in the streets and begging for food, the millions more all over the world who are going to get no help from us. When are we going to learn?

The super rich are running loose as they have been running loose for thousands of years. This is an old story. And this is evil.  Yes. Evil. A bill Gates is not cute or ambitious. He is evil. And millions have been sickening and dying (and millions more will die from the greed of these super rich. Think of  Latin America, the middle east, all the countries collapsing into poverty Think of,   almost certainly, a billion or more who will die in China. (Yes that many will die to meet the greed of the super rich.) When are we going to wake up? Think of the piled bodies of children and babies. The have been major targets of our wars.

Our capitalists are not just greedy. They are murderers on a ghastly scale. And you're on their list, and your children are. We should have dealt with this in 1945. Think about it.

China for example, had suffered  hunger, plundering, abuse from almost 150  years of horrible suffering at the hands of the British. We    could have  helped China recover from the horror. Instead, the U.S. plunged in with an invasion in 1949. And in every year since that it has poured hatred and suffering on the Chinese. (and no. I do not praise our brave Canadian soldiers who fought in Korea. More likely, I feel terrible sorrow for those Canadians who were sent by our politicians to murder Chinese - and to die.)

In 1945, we coud have changed the future and helped China to repair the years of British and then Americans. That would have given us all a good future. Instead, we are more likely to see the most horrible war ever.

And it is not just the Chinese who will suffer. It is all of us as the super rich pour out on us the greed they have poured  on almost all the nations of the world. We are now in our most savage and destructive stage.  And it will destroy us as surely as it has been destroying humanity for thousands of years.

Oh, and note how it has destroyed Christianity along the way.

Our world is closing on us

 You think Joe Biden's a great guy compared to Trump. Actually, he may well be worse. He has a long history a war puppet for  the super rich. Trump was scared of war. That's why Iran and Venezuela 0h,- and China - survived at a time when American billionaires wanted to murder and plunder them.

No. Trump was not a peace lover. I think it possible he was and is very scared. Most American presidents since the earliest days have been war mongers with a great love of murdering, first, their native peoples, then the Philipines, then Latin Americans. Ever since (especially after world war two, US governments have been a wild spree of murder and plunder. All of it with the full support of the Democrats and Republicans - and agents of those parties who deliver on what the capitalists want. Joe Biden was and is one of those messenger boys for the wealthy.

And oh, they like murder ---of enemy soldiers, of women, of children,  of babies.

Trump was different only in his cowardice. That's why when the war talked about was with the Venezuelans, Iranians ,even Chinese, he always backed off.

To get a picture of this on the web, go to Counterpunch, Dec. 3.The story is at the centre, several centers down.

While you're at that page scroll down (just a short scroll on the left side for Dec. 3. It's about the Haiti police beating up and some times killed Haitians.) I haven't seen this story in our Canadian newpapers. And we, almost certainly, never will.

Not long ago Haiti was a democratic country. Then the US insisted this would have to be "tightened". The US didn't want to do such a thing - to destroy democracy. to murder the locals. So it told Canadian leaders to get off their butts and kill people who had the nerve to think they had rights. And so the Canadian government pulled down it's pants as a sign Canadians could kiss American asses.

Canada sent soldiers and RCMP. They beat, arrested, murdered Haitians who believed in human rights and democracy.

Funny thing. Canadian reporters never reported this to Canadian readers.

The U.S.  has warships, a large fleet of them, in Chinese waters.That's an act of war. Why are some people in the U.S. so anxious for a war with China?

That's because the American empire is in collapse, The rising world power is no longer the U.S. It's China. Yes. What's happening is the capitalist U.S. is losing out to a communist China. Isn't that evil of the Chinese?

The expansion of China, once the basket case of the world,  has been amazing in the last seventy years. Capitalism had savaged China for a cemtury and a half. Now, the U.S. is China's biggest customer. American capitalists are not amused. They are particularly not amused by China's trade growth in western markets as well as eastern ones.

Worse - China has been moving in on trade routes to the western world.

And that can't be accepted because God blessed America,  not China.

And the solution is - a massive destruction of China by the U.S. armed forces supported by the usual ass kissers like Canada. That massive destruction is still possible due to American stockpiles of nuclear weapons that could kill at least a billion Chinese, maybe more, men, women and children. (Mind you - this is the same U.S. that got kicked out of Vietnam and which hasn't been able to defeat it's small number of Afghanistan enemies in 20 years.)

It is not a coincidence that U.S. war manufacturers want Joe Biden as president. He's been their bully boy from the start.

Now, let's take a look at the most serious problem we face - the growing reality of our failure to deal with climate and other changes.

For a start, go to rabble.ca on your computer.There is the excellent question that most of our leaders have failed to deal with. Our forest are disappearing. Our prized assets  like gasoline are killing us - and that killing is also on top of our killing people in other countries for getting in our way. Life species, some 500 of them are disappearing. Our abandoned plastic is killing our world - and killing us.

Our Arctic ice is disappearing and, with it, it's animal life is disappearing.

We need  all those other animals in our world if we are to survive. But we're killing them. We're destroying the whole world - and that's destroying us. The worst killers are irresponsible billionaires - like the Irving family in New Brunswick. and premiers like those of Ontario and Alberta. (As these people kill, they kill us.) Has the U.S. killed millions in the middle east? It daily kills a hell of a   lot more of lost souls as the billionaires carry out their greed. And eventually, it will kill them.

How much time do we have to deal with this?

Nobody knows. But it's probably not much.

The article I began this with is one by the current boss of the Irvings. Is he intelligent? Well  educated?  Not very. When I first heard of him, he was dropping out of school to get rich on his daddy's oil business. For a contrast, let's take a look at one of his critics, David Suzuki.

Suzuki finished school - all the way to a PhD. He has spent all his life studying Canada  - fields and forests and climate. While he did that Irving was poisoning the land with aerial bombing, was destroying huge forests that we need in order to survive, was filling the province with the lies told by his party (He owns all the newspapers and they never criticize him.) In effect, he owns the provincial and the federal governments to hand out millions of dollars for him even as families are being dumped in the streets.

He is the incarnation of evil, that evil of streams of greedy humans, of dukes and earls and emperors and kings going back for uncounted thousands of years. 

And we are now at the final edge.

Check out Suzuki.
