The Horror of the U.S.

Warning - I don't know how long it will take to write this. I've been getting medication that puts me heavily to sleep for almost all day. I was astonished to read a report about Canadian warships in waters between China and Taiwan. As the U.S. prepares for war with China, this would place Canada in that war. Not a good idea. Let's not kid ourselves about Taiwan. Under the leadership of Chiang Kai Shek and his thugs, Taiwan was the centre of the biggest opium trade in the world. The people of Taiwan today are, for the most part, the descendents of Chiang's murderers and opium dealers. (They are not, by any definition, Taiwanese patriots.) And Canada has placed itself in a position to have to join in on the side of Chiang's thugs and against the rather considerable forces of China. Oh, yeah, the Canadian Legion will no doubt bless the thugs and send Canadians to die. The Canadian news media, of course, will never tell us the truth about Taiwan. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On your TV set it might be possible to pick out a horrifying story. Go to (forgive me. I'm old and fuzzy so I don't remember what the section is called. Oh, yeah. You Tube.) It's about San Francisco. It has over 80,000 people living on the streets, sleeping on bare concrete, sometimes on heaps of garbage which they search for food. (Any deliveries of free food are rare - and often unpleasant. This applies for the elderly all the way down to babies. I have never before seen such suffering. It's far worse than anything I saw in Hong Kong or China. I saw people sleeping in garbage cans. The dead? They're just dumped. Nobody cares. Almost all are mentally unbalanced. Of course. All try to steal food from the stores. Almost all are sent to prison for long sentences. But the prisons don't want them, either. So within days of sentencing they are kicked out. It's common to see people who have been kicked out and sentenced again 40 times and more. All of them, of course, are hopelessly insane as a result of their experience. And the children of the insane stay in the streets and the filth - and the death. I saw the same for Seattle. It's moving across the U.S. And by every sign the billionaires are not lifting a finger. Meanwhile, the pharma giants are making monster profits from their covid 19 sales - far, far more than their drugs cost to produce. And they don't give a damn about the horror they are creating. After all, this is the U.S. - the happy land of the super wealthy and greedy. Pope Francis has asked the pharma giants to release their covid19 patents. They won't. And millions will die. But don't worry. Your news media won't tell you what's happening. As well, our news media won't tell us that we are killing whole nations with the greed of our capitalists. Millions are dying. But notice there are no stacks of the wealthy dead. We have gone back thousands of years to the emperors and the starving street mobs of Rome. We are soon to murder billions of Chinese in order to please the politicians and the Liberals, Conservatives, Democrats and GOP. And, as we can see, our capitalists are planning to kill all of us. Indeed, we are within range of killing all human life. But to make you feel better about that,China is the world's biggest emitter of coal - a horribly destructive product. So maybe it will destroy us first. Oh, while you're dying, take the time to look at Gwynne Dyer. when his site appears, click on the word articles. I knew Gwynne Dyer long ago when the world and he and I were young. We shared space on a CBC radio show. He was a Canadian and a graduate of Military college. And I thought he was brilliant. I think so now even more. So here is a huge collection of his articles over the years.
