Bad, Bad News.

I hope this text does not get messed up as my last one did. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Long, long ago us humans appeared on earth. But we were very different from most other animals. from the start a small number of us saw themselves as superior to all other humans. You may find examples of a few other species like that; but not many. The humans who saw themselves as superior wasted no time in ruling the others. They still do. Thousands of years later, we could see this in the Roman Empire. Most of the emperors and their families, most of the aristocracy of Rome, were drawn from these "superior" types. Over the years, they became emperors, earls, Dukes, kings. In Britain, they ruled the country for centuries - until well into the twentieth century. And while they ruled, the bulk of the British were effectively enslaved and humiliated. Winston Churchill was a product of this sense of social class.He came from a family of the super rich, a family with nothing but contempt for the average person. I grew up in a Montreal district where such a class didn't exist. We were poor, very poor, just like our neighbours. Finishing school was almost unheard of. Almost all of my friends got kicked out of school somewhere between grades 3 and 9. I was kicked out in 11. My parents were delighted. Now I could get a job in a really filthy factory. Meanwhile, another social class of us (that I never saw until my teens) was the rich kids who lived in the circles of the wealthy - and none of them would ever work in the filth that I knew. Today, that monied class still exists. You'll find it in the ranks of our billionaires. And they exploit the rest of us. Their device to maintain power is to be found in their control of politics. An early example of this was George Washington who had nothing but contempt for people who weren't rich. And so he leaned to the super rich in his money policies. That's why he gave out huge contracts to the very rich. But did nothing to help the poor. That's why he had almost no thought for the masses of poor. That's why the U.S. election system, like Canada's, is largely a gift to the rich. You hadn't noticed? Elections in much of the western world are financed by the super rich. In Canada, for example, the rich supply money for elections. The super rich supply billions to Canada's Liberals and Conservatives. So they have tons of money. But that means that Liberals and Conservatives are servants of the rich who give them that money. Other parties are left for scratching. In other words, American and Canadian elections are frauds. And that makes it almost impossible for an honest donor to win an American or Canadian election. The Liberals and Conservatives of Canada, for example, have already agreed with the U.S. to deploy extremely dangerous and poisonous oil in a BC already in a dangerous setting. And Biden has already given almost suicidal permission for the U.S. to continue destroying California and the rest of the U.S. What are our chances of surviving to the end of this century? None. Almost all of us rely on news from our local news media. But they are simply lies. They always have been. (Most of our news papers come from papers owned by billionaires. And they aren't news. They are, and always have been, propaganda sheets.) And so Canada is going to elect a Liberal or a Conservative party. Yes, that's what we've always elected. And it has always meant that we are being handed over to a small group of liars and scoundrels. Many thousands of years ago, a small number of our ancestors invented leadership for all the rest. And it's been one hell of an experience ever since.
