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.
