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.
