to Christina Decarie
Things are all messed up here. I can't even write a private e mail to you. But -
There's bad news here. Where I live, one of the residents has been struck down by the plague. So we are all now confined to our rooms. as many as 6 more residents are under observation. So I'm very happy to stay in my room.
Anyway, almost nothing in my computer is working. So I'm thinking of sending it out to a first rate repairman.
I'm not even sure this will get seen by Christina.

The Secret U.S. War on innocent People.
The scene is common in the middle east. Families, adults and children, are leaving their places of worship. These are quite innocent people, not at war with anybody, not a threat to anybody. Suddenly, bombs explode on them, killing or wounding. The plane that dropped the bombs flies off. It is an American plane of a type called a 'drone". And it has no pilot, no crew.
Well, it has a pilot, sort of. The pilot is sitting comfortably in a hangar in the U.S. But it has no wings. The pilot is sitting in the the seat and directing the flights of it's drones and bombing and killing people who are in no way threats to the U.S. and in no way at war with the U.S.
But you won't be learning this from any of our news media as large numbers of these drones murder thousands of quite innocent people, especially in the middle east. This is the new way of U.S. mass murder of innocent people. One could correctly call it mass murder for the fun of it.
We have to learn that the U.S. is the world's most vicious killer. It has been a killer from it's start hundred when the pilgrim fathers landed from Britain. And I guess that obsession with murder came with their British origins back in the days when the British Empire was the model of evil and and mass murder, a situation that lasted until 1945 or so.
For those who still haven't figured it out, Canada is now the servant of U.S. evil. (Too bad the Canadian Legion has never had the brains to figure that out.)
Would the U.S. ever attack Canada in this way? Of course. In fact, as the U.S. begins to crumble, it is very likely to take over Canada.
The British Empire and the American empire have been the two greatest evils this world has seen for many hundreds of years. And Canada will quite possibly be the third as we now kiss American asses.
In today's news, the world's top 21 climate disasters cost us some 200 billion dollars. The reality is that climate change will kill all of us soon. And the super rich don't give a damn. The money that should be going into climate change is simply going into the pockets of the super rich. Nothing is being done to the carbon dioxide that oil companies are pouring down on us. The super rich are not capable of giving a damn about others. And the climate change that is killing us is worse, far worse, for Africa where our super rich make sure we are sending very little help to the Africans. All that matters to the super rich is the profits for themselves. And there's no profit in helping the millions in Africa who are dying as I right this. The obsession with profit for the super rich has made them the richest in history. It seems not to have occured to them that climate change is killing millions of Americans. It's already killing over 20 milliion Americans who are dying of hunger. It's killing people in British Columbia even as it digs for more poisonous oil to kill our skies even more.
The Liberals and Conservatives, as always, serve only the rich.
Democracy? Get real. Canada and the U.S. (and most other countries) have NEVER been democracies. Most Canadians have no idea what a democracy is. Nor do their agencies help.Our news media are liars. They always have been the agents of the super rich. And reporters who tell the truth get fired. The reporters who are left are, frankly,less than honest and less than intelligent.
I wonder, by the way, about Canadian troops who served for 12 years in Afghanistan. They served with American troops who raped and murdered civilians including children and babies. Did the Canadians copy the Americans? Of course they did.
So stuff you Canadian Legion. Forget the crap that the Canadians were "fighting for their country". They had nothing to do with Canada. They were fighting to kiss American asses.

Our friends, our enemies
Think hard. Europe went to war in 1939. The U.S. did not. Wasn't that strange? In fact, the U.S. capitalists didn't give a damn about Europe. Thepr interest was in China, a country the U.S. capitalists had wanted to steal since they saw how the British had plundered China. Indeed, since 1918 the U.S. capitalists had been building their massive fleet to serve in the Pacific, with rather less in the Atlantic. And in 1939, the British, who had plundered China for centuries, needed all their troops in Europe. U.S.capitalists then put all their interest in getting control of the ruler of China.
That ruler was the unspeakably corrupt Chiang Kai-Shec. Chiang used China as the centre for the massively profitable drug trade throughout the Far East. And he kept uncounted millions of dollars which Chiang happily shared with the U.S. since he needed an ally. (The Chinese communists were crashing in on him.)
Chiang had to flee to Taiwan and, eventually, to the U.S. But meanwhile, a newer force had swept into China. It was Japan which had it's own plans to plunder China, and it did it's job very quickly.
The U.S. capitalists had earlier prepared their bases on Pearl Harbour to attack China and to plunder it. And the Japanese were well aware that the U.S. was planning to bomb them. So they bombed Pearl Harbour first. That committed the U.S. to an even bigger war on China and, indeed, to Japanese invasions all over the Pacific which the Americans had to flee.
It was at this point the U.S. realized it needed more friends. Reluctantly, at the very end of 1942, it joined the war in Europe. But the bulk of it's army was never in Europe. Indeed, a large part of the western American army was in Africa. American capitalists were well aware of British control their over the oil fields there. And immediately after the war, American capitalists would force the British to give those oil fields to the U.S.
Result? World War Two made Britain a shabby orphan largely caused by American actions. American behaviour in China has actually been overcome by the Chinese. (Not that the Bri4We
However, it is quite possible that the U.S. will now destroy itself, having destroyed any agreement with what America means. Watch for major splits in the U.S. Watch for large sections of the U.S. breaking away - and maybe even for a civil war - which might have a fallout in Canada. There are just too many kinds of greed running loose in the U.S.
Meanwhile, over 2O million Americans have no food. And that disorder in the U.S. might well have a dangerous impact on Canada.
Also meanwhile, the U.S. is likely to turn loose the CIA, its murdering gang in the U.S. and all over the world including Canada. And it's very likely the CIA will murder Julian Assange.
In all the last seventy years of murder, one thing is striking. The U.S. army, the most expensive and ruthless army in the world, has been a colossal failure in most of it's wars. Afghanistan is a strong example of that. And think hard, the Canadian army was just as brutal and ineffective in Afghanistan. (I really don't understand how the Canadian Legion and the Canadian government could be so brainless as to support the idea of fighting American wars.)
Meanwhile, we're all pumping oil though we know that's killing us and destroying what's left of this world. Canadian governments (and a majority of the Canadian people so far have been quite brainless.

The Real World
Well, I'm at last settled in to Kingston. Bad timing though as Kingston is the Canadian leader in attracting covid. I begin with an apology. I have often used the Manchester Guardian as one of my sources for world affairs. Alas! It has slowly dawned on me that the Guardian is a very weak source. So I won't be using it again. So I'll limit sources to learn what's going on in the world.
Wars are fought to benefit the rich. That's always been true. The people of ancient Rome lived in desperate poverty. And the Roman wars were fought only to benefit the rulers and the wealthy. The wars of the British Empire were fought by the poor. But the profits of war never reached most of the British people. The British people were dumped on the streets of Britain while the rich lived in aristocratic splendour. That even applied to World War Two. You'll never remember this from reading the papers. WW2 was really begun by the British upper class. Yes. It was. The treaty of Versailles that ended WW1 assigned no penalty on any country on either side. They all agreed that nobody was responsible for the war. And the British and French in particular soon lied about that 'agreement'.
There was a Hitler. But he was a very minor figure with no followers at all. That changed beginning in the 1920s as Britain and France and others violated the Versaille peace treaty to plunder Germany.That is what created the despair of Germans - and led to the rise of Hitler in the 1930s. (I find the web sources remarkably shy about this.)
Wars are almost always fought to benefit only the rich. In the U.S., military spending mostly benefits the rich to create the most expensive military in the world. Homeless children in the U.S. are dying in the streets. But there's no help for them. It all goes for the biggest military spending in the world - way, way ahead. And what has been the war record of the U.S.? Bloody feeble. This is the country that in 20 years couldn't beat the small population of a section of Afghanistan. In fact, the general American war record since 1945 has been pretty feeble. And the U.S. has forced Canadian troops at various points in the world to fight it's feeble wars. The American military has done a lousy job of fighting it's wars. But, oh, it's making piles of money of which we know nothing. Canadians have been damn fools to get involved in these wars.(Too bad nobody in The Canadian Legion has had the brains to see this.)
The U.S. also funds Israel with billions of dollars so it can murder helpless Palestinians and steal their land. Alas - we have allowed Israel to become what Judaism is not. In fact, it more closely resembles Naziism.In Montreal, I often spoke to Jewish audiences, large ones. They were the most intelligent audiences I ever had (way ahead of Christians who were intellectually fuzzy and giggly.) I doubt very much that Canadian Jews would tolerate the behaviour of Israeli ones.
Then there's the journalist - Julian Assange. He was a brillliant journalist and a very honest one. That's why he's been in solitary for over thirty years in Britain. That's why he suffered a stroke. He has never been charged by Britain or the U.S. for anything Of course not. He's never done anything illegal. That's why the U.S. wants him in their solitary confinement until he dies - or is killed by the CIA. (The function of the CIA is to murder people, including people of the U.S. and all the rest of the world.)
And don't kid yourself. This manipulation of propaganda to serve the rich is also used by most governments - including Canada. Check out your local newspapers and radio stations. They're all full of lies. They're owned by the super rich, and their purpose has always been the same - to lie to us. That goes back for over 130 years. And that's why they write big stories about how cruel the Chinese are with the story about how a government official of China assaulted a Chinese tennis player. That's why they're teeming with news about how evil all Chinese are. In fact, such assaults are common in the U.S. and Canada, including the Canadian army going all the way up to it's generals and admirals.
Don't waste your time on the commercial news media. In a later blog, I'll give you a list of honest news sites.

The Nazi world of western journalism.
I've often said that our news media are liars. I had many years of close contact with that. Reporters who tried to be honest were fired, and that's been going on for over a century. Julian Assange, an Australian journalist of great intelligence set out to tell the truth. And he soon realized that he wasn't going to tell the truth So he created his own reporting. That took the shape of news agency called Wikkileeks. What he reported was honest and quite legitmately true. But honesty and truth were precisely what the Australian government disliked. Assange had to get out of Australia - to carry on his news service in Britain and Scandinavia.
The American CIA was furious, and actually, with the help of Britain, considered murdering him. (The CIA often works that way. They, after all, were major players in the murder of President Kennedy.) Instead, the British authorities (who were just as murderous as the American ones) placed him in various forms of solitary confinement and then to years in prison where he was allowed no visitors -and no contact even with other prisoners. The purpose was to drive him out of his mind.
And it worked. (Remember, there was no trial, no valid reason to imprison him.)
But the U.S.wanted him, too. No problem. The British courts, when asked if the U.S. wanted him, agreed he should be sent. I have read their decision. It is full of lies. And the U.S. lied about how it will treat him. It will, just like the British courts, push him into solitary confinement where they will finish the job of destroying him. And the CIA will go through the final stages of dragging him into deeper insanity and death.
And don't expect your local newspaper to tell the truth about any of this.
And the Liberals, the Conservatives, the American GOP and the Democrats will all cheer for his death. That, I'm afraid, is the real world we live in. We are the Nazis of our time.

Liar, liar, pants on fire....
Okay. What happened today in Ottawa is something I thought was going to happen. And it's disgrace for all Canadians. Americans have been told that China is evil because a Chinese government official sexually assaulted a young woman (who was - and is - an olympic tennis player for China.) I wrote about this yesterday. The U.S. government condemned this as a sign of China's evil. In fact,this sort of thing happens all the time in large numbers in the U.S. But the American press published this story as being a demonstration of the evil of Chinese. But that's not how the American press handled the story. It's news media never mentioned the scale of sexual attacks, especially in the American government. No.They reported it as something unique to China. Yes. Americans had to hate China.
The next step happened today. Pierre Trudeau announced that Canada, like the U.S., would not participate in the Chinese Olympics because China was evil. And the Canadian news media have reacted in the same way as the American news media did.
Yes, they expressed support for the U.S. position, completely ignoring the sexual brutality of some Canadian politicians. and ignoring the sexual abuse that has been inflicted by at least 7 generals in the Canadian army and an admiral in the Canadian navy - and, oh, there's a lot more than that.
Count on it. And depend on the Canadian news media, like the American ones, to lie in their reporting. Canadian, like American news media, lie constantly.
Though I was over thirty years a professor, I also was on thousands of radio and TV shows. And I was constantly aware of the dreadful decline I saw in our news media. The only Canadian news medium I saw that even tried to be honest was - and is - CBC.
The rest of our news media are liars. Never trust any of them. Our governments and most of our news media are liars. They always have been.
Oh, and let's make a guess. Why did Trudeau kiss America's ass today? That's almost certainly because President Biden told him - as American presidents have been telling us - to kill since 1949. And the Liberals and Conservatives have obeyed their American masters. Liberals and Conseratives are both cowards and liars.
And this, very likely, is going to make us a branch of the U.S.

The End of Time
This is a late post because I have run into a crisis of time. On Dec. 13, I shall be moving from my home in Ottawa down to Kingston, some 2 or 3 hours south of here. And there is no hell like moving when you getting really old and very confused. I presume I'll be able resume this blog some time soon after my arrival in Kingston.
In recent days, homeless people in Los Angeles have been dying at a tremendous rate. This, particularly, means children. They are dying in the high hundreds in just a few days. Did you read about this in your daily news media? Of course not. They never tell the truth. That applies to Canada as well as the U.S. (For years, I worked with reporters. And I watched the long procession of honest ones getting fired. Your daily news lies. They have, from the start back in the 1880's, been printing propaganda to please the super rich - who own the news media.)
And think of this. As children die of hunger and savage living conditions all over the U.S. The country that encourages a small number of billionaires, those billionaires are getting rich, usually with the highest government regard for billionaires and trilionaires. It has the most expensive army in the world - by far - and, oh,all that military spending goes to the billionaires. The government of the U.S.also ensures hospital care - for the rich only. Any people who aren't super rich can't get medical care. American hospitals often have a minimum charge of 40,000 for any medical treatment.
So those homeless people in Los Angelese are out of luck. And the U.S. has fallen back centuries into the middle ages. And almost the whole population of the U.S.is savaged into this. Canada is the same - though you're not likely know of this from reading your local newspaper.
In evil China, the homeless recieve free housing in modern apartment buildings. But our commercial news media never mention that. Our news media tell us how evil the Chinese are - and the most recent foofara over that in our news media is a Chinese tennis player who was sexually assaulted by a minister in the Chinese government. Oh, evil. American and Canadian news media have played this big. Yes. We have to attack China for such evil.
Let's get real, shall we? In the U.S. such assaults by men with power are common. And Canada? Yes, Canadians are just as bad. Our military, for example, has ranks up to general guilty of sexual assaults on women in the military.
We have, in fact,moved back into the middle ages in which all power was in the hands of a small number - and with all the rest of us living in filth and hunger. And, inevitably, that will lead us into the final war that will destroy us all. That is where capitalism will lead us.
Meanwhile, the homeless of Los Angeles will go on dying. And the super rich will go on letting them die.

information Clearing House
I strongly advise you to read Information Clearing House on your computer. Then Type in presidential clearing house. And following that read Kennedy killed by CIA. Or President John F. Kennedy, His life and public assassination. (I hope all that works.)
The CIA is a secret army closely tied to American capitalists. It was the army that murdered thousands of priests, nuns and missionaires in Guatemala - and infuriated President Kennedy who was very much against war. But American capitalists, close to the CIA, were determined to conquer the world after 1945 - the whole world. (Yes, And they wanted Kennedy dead. And the CIA served American capitalists. And, in 1963, it murdered Kennedy. Following that the succeeding presidents, all of them, did whatever the CIA told them to do.)
Oh, and one of the countries that had to obey was Canada. That's why Canada spent twelve years killing Afghans in a war that had nothing to do with Canada. That's why you can expect Canada (and the Canadian Legion) to kiss American asses. After all, U.S. capitalists are determined to conquer the whole world - and that includes Canada.
And that, incidentally, is why the U.S.has to murder millions, perhaps billions, of Chinese. China has been developing hugely in recent years. In fact, it is outclassing the U.S. economy. This has to be stopped. Oh, and the CIA will be telling Canada to join the U.S. massacre of Chinese. (And the Canadian Legion will cheer.)
Oh, there's a catch. China has developed a nuclear rocket bomb that can fly around the world at a speed so great that nothing can stop it. (I don't know how many it has.)
Get used to it. The U.S. has been going to war for hundreds of years - and almost full time. It is the most murderous country in the world. (And it is the only country that has many times invaded Canada.) And it is now, it seems, a collapsing nation. It is not a democracy. It never was. People who say it's a democracy have no idea what the word democracy means. And now, it is governed by the CIA and it's capitalist followers. But oh it is also close to a national breakup.
