American, British and Canadian news media have been disgusting on their coverage of the war in Afghanistan.
The rule seems to be that the Taliban and only the Taliban are murderous and cruel. I don't doubt that it is murderous and cruel. But it's sweethearts compared to the behaviour of 'our side'.
The U.S. murder record shows the Taliban as sweethearts. Nobody knows how many Afghans were murdered by "our side". And, of those who were killed by us, the number of children murdered is well into many, many, many thousands. There were also 20 years of women tortured and murdered.
Remember, it was us who invaded Afghanistan - us - the U.S., Britain, and Canada.
And nobody asked them to invade. And it was the U.S. Britain and Canada who murdered so may Afghans that the answer may never be known. As well as murdering children (deliberately) they also murdered adults -- and nobody will ever know the number except that it's somewhere in the millions.
As well, our Canadians kissed up to Americans by handing over children to them for - yes - for torture and, in the long range, for murder. And the Canadians knew damn well what they were doing.
But, somehow, none of this was ever mentioned in our press.
Canadians, always on the naive side, lined the streets in praise of the dead Canadians brought back to Canada.. Our news media should have told us, but never did, what had really happened.
Any thoughts on that from the Canadian Legion? Well, no. The legion has never been big on having thoughts.
Canada is a democracy? Like hell it is.
Oh, how long did Canadians murder and torture - and die? That was ten years.
Wake up, Canadians. You have stinking news media. And you have a legion that encouraged us to send soldiers to war and to death - and to American wars since Korea, Haiti and other countries. (For a change, let's send Trudeau - who is about to send us in a colossal and stupid adventure to poison ourselves, all of us. Yes, that's serious - and soon.)
I'll say more as I go on in this series.)

Foreign courts, long ago, have ruled at the request of the super wealthy that countries have no right to prevent the rich from suing companies that interfere with projects own by the wealthy. Therefore, Canada and the U.S. have no right to interfere with, say, drilling for oil or poisoning the earth with garbage.
Trudeau is on their side in both cases. (Another story that's not like to make the news.

Every night, 25,000 to 35,000 are homeless on any given night in Canada. Most cities do nothing for them. Toronto, uninterested in helping them in any way, regularly moves them out of sight.
Canada is not a country I'm proud of.

The Catholic Church has not paid for the deaths of children as young as three in indigenous schools. In fact, none of us have yet taken on the job of finding all the dead. I would expect it to rise into multi thousands. But we don't seem to care.
I guess it's been a long time since Roman Catholic churches have been Christian in any sense.
Indeed, Protestant have been pretty unChristian for many years now. (Hitler was a Christian as were most Germans of WW2.) I guess that's why Christians of all of the world did nothing to help the European Jews before, during, or after the war.

Burning fossil fuels and destroying natural carbon sinks is a major force in overheating our planet. Many changes are irreversible - such as global sea level and ice sheets. But nothing is being done.

You have a love for U.S. Democrats? Get real. They are the same as the GOP. both are agents of the very rich. Americans have nothing to look for in either of them. The same is true of Canada's Liberals and Conservatives. Both are servants of the rich. Expect nothing for either of them.

Much of the world. especially Africa, is not only starving, it is not getting any Covid Vaccine ---Nothing. They're going to die, just about all of them, before the end of this century. Just a fraction of U.S. Pentagon spending would save most of them. But it needs the money for the biggest war spending in the world.
But don't worry. At the present rate of billionaire spending, very few of us will get to the end of the century anyway.

Sorry, but the greed of the very rich in this world and the corruption of our news media is getting to me.
But don't worry. The very rich are working hard at getting off this plant --soon.
