Return to Afghanistan
A small group of American soldiers and some American civilians have returned to Afghanistan. The've returned to help restore peace and order to the nation they had so terribly destroyed.And they've joined together out of shame at the horror they had unleashed nn the people of Afghanistan.They're a very small group. But they are magnificent.
I feel less enthusiastiic about Canada's army which was there for over a dozen years.Canadians slaughtered men, women, children, babies, and then retired to legion halls for cheap beer and back slapping.
Canadian citizens were just as bad. As Canadian dead were brought back to Canada, Canadian citizens cheered the dead for their bravery. Yeah. It takes real courage to murder the elderly, children, and babies.
The U.S. has been equally murderous. slaughtering everything that moved.
The American group now in Afghanistan to help it is a very small one.
God bless them.
And God damn all those Canadians, Americans, and British who were brainless killers.

The Gates iof Hell
Just a couple of themes to understand.
Our newspapers are liars. They always have been since their origin in the late 19th century. The earliest newspapers were, as they had to be, created by rich people. So they were used by the very wealthy as propaganda to benefit them.Notable was the British coverage of a British attack on Germany in the late 1920s. This was before Hitler. The British army invaded Germany and plundered it into poverty. (Indeed, that is what gave an unkown Hitler his opening.) There was no excuse for what the British did. And that attack is what brought an obscure Hitler to power. Really. World War Two was created by the British.
In the U.S, the greatest creator of lying newspapers was Randolph Hearst.
All of this also went on in Canada where the current butcher of news is the Irving family of New Brunswick that makes it's money out of oil and out of stealing money from the public purse. They own all the news media in New Brunswick. And, oh, they are liars. I think it safe to say that New Brunswickers are the worst informed people of all Canada.
Honest journalists get fired. That's why we've seen such a rise of web sites dedicated to honest reporting. And typically operated by honest journalists who got fired for being honest
Just before 1900 Canadian troops went to fight for the British side in the Boer War in South Africa.
Why?
This was a British war against a very inferior enemy. Britain didn't need Canadian help. (Indeed, the Canadians spent much of their time as baby sitters.) But Britain was setting up Canada for the war in Europe that it knew was coming. It wanted the whole empire in on this one.
Another sample of news as propaganda? The U.S. and Canadian news media got all excited over the evils of Afghanistan. (What evils) So we sent troops there for 14 years. What the hell did that do for us ? And our press wet it pants with excitement when the bodies of the dead came back. But they never did tell what we did - the mass murder of civilians, of children, of babies in a war that had nothing to do with us. I can't recall a single example of any of our news media mentioning that.
Oh, our papers went wild with the story of a Chinese tennis player who, it was said, was raped by a Chinese government official. But in all these years, I have not seen the sordid story of Canadian (and American) rapists, huge numbers of them - and including, in Canada's case, several generals and an admiral. What we get isn't news. it's propaganda. The Canadian and American armies are both notable for their rapes of Canadian and American military women.
I shall always remember a war (against Guatemala). This was a very Christian country. The U.S. used the CIA to mass murder priests, nuns, missionaries. Our news media never mentioned it. One of the victims was a Canadian missionary from the same town as New Brunswick's Irving family. No Canadian paper ever mentioned that.After many years, the missionary's body was discovered.
And nobody said a word. (And I almost got fired from my half hour radio spot for mentioning it.) Years after his death, his body was brought to Canada and buried in the Catholic church cemetery just walking distance from the Irving church. But the Irvings, of course, have never given a damn, and their news media never carried the story. Nor have American news media ever told the story of the mass murder in Guatemala that murdered thousands priest, nuns and missionaries.
Our news media are, almost all of them, liars. The only exceptions are the ones operated by journalists who write on the web - like this. Don't waste your time reading (or listening to) our commercial news media.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
The U.S. may well be headed for a very big crash. In 1945, the U.S. was planning to conquer the whole world. But that didn't last long. Since then, the U.S. has been in steady decline. It has also been confused. It is now on the edge of collapse. It is plagued by internal differences.
Watch for a hell of a lot more violence. And a war in China? for a start, the war on China will be a war to destroy China - nothing else. But China now has nuclear power of it's own. And some of it is quite superior to the American equivalent. We cannot bomb China without getting bombed back.
MMean
The U.S. itself is heading for one hell of a crash because of it's horrible treatment of it's own people. A split of the U.S. is quite possible - almost certain.

Evil
Winston Churchill was a hero for just about everyone I knew that when I was a kid in world war Two. Alas! Never was there a hero who was less heroic. (And never were the Americans so evil. This is the story that never made the news.)
Churchill was born into a palace. It was perhaps the most splendid palace of all the British aristocracy.But his parents were rarely home. They were busily having sexual affairs. Oh, there were children whose parents worked on the Churchill estate. But they were commoners. Churchill was trained from childhool to have nothing but contempt for ordinary people. So he spent his days indoors with a nurse overlooking him. (ordinary children in those days in Britain didn't go to school. Indeed, in later years, Churchill and other aristocrats were fiercely opposed to schooling for ordinary paople. They were simply trash.
In 1914, Churchill joined the British army, insisting on a position as Colonel, a position for which he had no qualifications whatever. But that was common for the British military in 1914. It was common all the way up to Field Marshall. Aristocratic twits were the rule.Significantly, the best general on the British side but commanding Canadian troops was a Canadian, Sir Arthur Currie. Indeed, he was quite possibly the best commanding officer on either side.Too bad Canadians have never learned more about him.
At the end of the war, Churchill enjoyed his assignment to bully and murder Chinese by the million, something the British had been doing for at least 200 years. Then he was assigned to cover neighbouring British colonies. He happily cut off the food supply of some six million people who starved to death.
Churchill returned to Britain in time for an early wartime election. And for reasons not clear he won it.And that was a big mistake. performance in the war was marked by Churchill's speeches, but not by much military success. In fact, the major nation in that was Russia, and the most successful leader was Stalin. (The largest part of the American war was stealing British colonies in the Pacific and planning (successfully) to steal Britain's oil fields in Africa.)
The other mark of Churchill's "leadership" was the constant delivery of huge quantities of liquor. He was drunk for most of the war. That's when he made the big mistake of assuming the American president Roosevelt was his friend. Far from it, very far, and even as they met, the U.S. had decided that the U.S. would conquer and rule the whole world, every inch of it, including Britain, as soon as the war was over. (That's why the U.S. calls on Canada to fight American wars - as it still does.) Too bad the Canadian Legion has never had the brains to see that.
Toward the end of the war, Britain realized that it's leader was a drunken lout. And there was an election looming. The British had no enthusiasm for a prime minister who was a drunken lout. They voted for the Labour party. Churchill would spend the rest of his life painting. I saw him doing it once.
It was good.

failing soldiers
It's strange how nobody has noticed the limpness of Canada's and the U.S. militaries. They have pretty consistently failed since 1950. Canada was 12 years in failures in a corner of Afghanistan. Our news media didn't report it that way. But that's what happened. The U.S. (and Britain) were just as feeble.
Given the Canadian record, the Canadian Legion has been wildly irresponsible in advocating it's wars. And the Canadian government has been wildly irresponsible. Why on earth have we been fighting American wars since 1949? What was the Canadian government thinking of? What was the Canadian Legion thinking of?
The U.S. will conquer the world? That's laughable. That's what it said in 1945. Will the nuclear bombing of China improve that?
Not likely.
The Chinese (and probably the Russians) have nuclear bombs capable of reaching targets all over the world. We don't. That's right. The big losers of a nuclear war would be us - and Europe.
Meanwhile, the U.S. is pouring money into it's military - the most expensive military in the world. But most of it isn't going into the military. No. It's going into contracts for billionaires which may or may not be of any use. In the meantime, the billionaires have thrown millions of American families to die in the streets.As an aside, consider this. Salaries for the average Americans have been pushed down to 1947 levels. U.S. billionaires own both political parties - and both parties are destroying the American people.
(Beware. The Irvings of New Bruswick are of the same evil as American billionaires. And most New Brunswickers are deluded enough to vote for Liberals or Conservatives every time - both of those parties the servants of the irvings. And they read only the newspapers owned by the Irvings. You want to see evil? You don't have to go far.)
We're coming to the most destructive and dreadful period in history, a period to kill billions. And no, Canada's Liberals and Conservatives aren't going to do anything except send Canadian soldiers out to murder innocent people and thousands of children and babies. and then scamper home so that fools can cheer them.

Collapse of American power. Part Two.
The U.S. drive for power took on a new force after World War One. It had played only a very minor role in World War One. World War Two was quite different - though not because of the struggle in Europe. Indeed, the U.S. didn't give much of a damn about Europe. It was in no rush to help Britain or France. Nor did it care much about the German mass murder of Jews. Indeed, the U.S. was quite as anti-semitic as Britain and the rest of Europe (and Canada) were. But now it had a far greater plan.
We hear a lot about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. But why did Japan attack it in the first place - and, for that matter, Why did the U.S. build such a massive base in the first place way out in the Pacific? Japan attacked because it knew very well what it was for. This was the U.S. attempt to conquer the world. The British knew this was the American ampire seeking to destroy the British plunderers in China, India, and others and to replace them with American plunderers. There were no nice guys. American would rule - and plunder - the world.
Just a little later, the U.S.
A little later, the U.S. would enter the war in Europe, though in relatively small numbers. it did nothing for European Jews. Like Canada, Britain and the U.S. it preferred to send the freed Jews to Israel when, in fact, Jews were a thousand years from Israel. It would have made far more sense to accept them in Britain, the U.S., and Canada - and to treat them with respect. But we didn't do that.
American leaders also used the middle east to weaken and then destroy British control over the oil fields of the middle east.
What next?
The U.S.is now on the edge of collapse. The Trump crowd appear to be separating entirely to establish a separate nation. and president Biden is a dead loss. The American political system has never made sense. And American treatment of their own people is digusting.
Here in Canada, the Liberals and Conservatives are almost as bad as the Americans. But Canadian voters are really, really dumb.Watch for a growing connection between Canada and the U.S.
I'm 88 years old. And at 88, it's not possible to feel respect for a liberal or a conservative. I'm a retired historian. So I know that Canada has NEVER had a good premier. After retirment, I lived almost twenty years in New Brunswick where people voted every time for a Liberal or a Conservative - both of these ass-kissers for an arrogant billionaire who owns the newspapers and walks with his pants down so fools can kiss his ass. (That's irving,)
well, the only good part of this is that at 88 I surely won't have to live through this greed and stupidity much longer.
The collapse of American power - And the National wimps that are the Liberals and Conservatives of Canada - especially those wimps who are buddies of the U.S.
I'm hoping this works. It's an opinion piece of a sort.
The U.S. has, for twenty years, has held - and constantly torured - prisoners using the base called Guantanamo. The prisoners are from Afghanistan. Think about that. Most are not killed - worse - they have been constantly tortured for twenty years. The war is in Afghanistan. That war is over but the torture goes on. Indeed, torture is a standard device of Americans at many points around the world. And Cnada knows all about it. But our nation of wimps hasn't said a word.
Indeed, Canadian troops were in Afghanistan for 12 years, copying American behaviour. Canadians murdered innocent people, Sexually assaulted Afghan women, murdered children and babies just like their American models.
Canadian male soldiers, then and now, Sexually abused Canadian women soldiers - and they still do. Among the worst Canadian abusers were some half dozen generals and at least one Canadian admiral.
You didn't read about that in your newspapers. No. That because Canadian (and American)newspapers radio and TV are all liars whose whole operation is based on the liars who are there rich owners.) We think they're telling the truth. In fact, nost of them have NEVER told the truth. And anybody who listens to them is a damn fool.
The only news service in Canada that tells the truth is CBC - And it's under constant pressure to lie.
That takes us to the Canadian Legion.
It has ALWAYS supported war. They told soldiers they were sending Canadians to die in Korea, in Afghanistan and many other wars that had nothing to do with Canada. Why? As an historian (I am one), I can recall a pompous ass military historian who told us about the importance of us Killing Afghans. In that way Canada has, since 1949, murdered women and children, tortured people,...
It goes way back to Britain. Early Britain was controlled (and still is) by an upper class that was extremely greedy. Under command of the very rich, Britain trained it's poor to kill for the rich. If any of the poor got wounded, they were simply left to die on the spot. For those who got to old for war, they were simply dumped on the streets, there to die.
Meanwhile, the rich became very rich as Britain grew in it's wars. That Empire grew to be the biggest empire in the world, with monster power over India aad China. By 1920 or so, a leading figure for the wealthy was Winston Churchill, as brutal, vicious, and evil a man as they come. But, at his peak, real power was falling into the hands of a rival - the U.S.
The U.S. became the home of British settlers who had a lot of the character of Winston Cnurchill. The British came out of a tradition of plundering and crushing opposition like the native people. And from 1500 to 2300 they did it murderously. Canadians were no angels, but it was the American settlers who were the worst. Their next target was Latin America which it plunders horribly.World War 2 was a similar affair in which the Americans set their eye on conquest of the whole world, on China and - oh, yes, on Canada. Notice how the U.S. always demands Canadians in it's wars - and how the ass kissing Liberal and Conservatives always kiss up.
But let's step back for some info about George Washington.
Washington was born British - and very upper class. But, tough luck, his family was going broke. So George had to live in America. But hr made connections who wanted to kick out the British. So he became the prominent leader. However, he had no intention of making America a place of the people He was clear. The leader was him, just him, and with all power his power. There was no U.S. and no presidency. And in that old style, he made himself and his own folowers the leaders, the only leaders.And that is a tone the U.S. has never lost.
I'll take a break here, then go on to a story that gets increasingly evil.

We are NOT a democracy. (I have to take a break here. my computer is in chaos and it's going to take me some time to fix it.)
We talk a great deal about democracy. Our politicians will talk about it forever. Alas! Whatever our babble might be the reality is that most don't even know the meaning of democracy. Worse, I can't think of any nation in history that has ever been a democracy. (In fairness, I have to say it's possible that Canada's NDP might believe in democracy. But I know of nobody else - and that holds true for all the nations I have ever come across in years of reading.
The vague idea is that democracy is what guides our society in its activities - that society guides us. And so we sent troops to murder Afghans for 12 years. Then, I guess, society unguided them and we took them back while a nation of half wits cheered them for ----doing what? improving life in Afghanistan? Murdering children and babies to make our American friends happy? For kissing American asses? And the returning veterans came back to booze it up at the local Canadian Legion? Did the Legion think this had all been doing something to improve the world.
Let's go back to the American revolution.
George Washington had no respect whatever for the average person. Washington was the son of a British family of aristocracy that was financially going down hill. Thus his move to farm ownership in an American colony. However, he remained a man of the upper class with nothing but contempt for the American people.
In the eyes of a George Washington the ordinary people did not exist. When he won the revolution, he declared it to be a republic - not a democracy -no - it was a republic to be be ruled by the very rich. He made no effort whatever to help the American people. He had nothing but contempt for them. And that has been true of American government ever since. Thus the failure of American governments is all these years to provide health care except for the very rich who could afford the monster prices of health care.
The sole exception of the presidents was John F. Kennedy, the only president ever to care about the people. His war experience drove him to help the ordinary American people. So that's why the traditional people in power murdered him.
Today, millions of Americans are dying in the streets, large numbers of them are children or elderly. And nobody gives a damn.
Native people met the same fate. (Canada was slightly better, but not much.) In 1890, at a place called wounded knee, the U.S. army was sent to murder hundreds of members of a tribe who were no threat to the U.S. They were quite peaceful. So the U.S. decided to murder them. It sent troops with highly explosive artillery to murder them. At the end three hundred tribes people died as they cowered in the snow. Over half were women and children.
Well, yes, many of the soldiers were killed. But they were killed by their own artillery.
The U.S. also murdered it's way to stealing what was part of Mexico - now Texas and California.
Canada, incidentally, did something useful - but it was not done by Liberals or Conservatives. It was done by the CCF (Canadian Cooperative Federation - the ancestor of today's NDP). The Liberals and the Conservatives would simply have acted like their American masters. But the CCF forced the Liberals and Conservatives to accept a medicare programme in which care was available to all who needed it. And it has been so popular that no liberals or conservatives have had the nerve to change it.
To get back to actions of the U.S., it began, about 1900, it's mass murder and plundering of Latin America, something which the murdering thugs of the CIA could be useful for. Then, remarkably,. the U.S. produced a president who didn't want to plunder and murder. John F. Kennedy had served under dreadfully bloody fighting as the commander of a PT boat in the Pacific. He had seen friends killed. He had, himself, come close to death. He was determined not to kill people.
So somebody killed him, and the CIA was almost certainly involved in the murder. Since then, every American president has been a happy murderer.
Canada's Liberal and Conservatives, too, have become happy murderers at American wars that have no possible connection with us. The first was Korea. The biggest was (is) Afghanistan. Canadian troops are now in many danger spots that we don't even know the names of. Most notable was sending Canadian troops and police to murder people and destroy the government in
Haiti. (Aren't you proud?)
We also sent troops to murder children and rape women for 12 years in Afghanistan - a country that was no possible threat to us or anybody else. The Canadian Legion wet it's pants for a war that had nothing to do with us. (I suppose we could have sent troops to kill Americans. That, at least, would have been useful in a country being destroyed by Americans.) A veteran of that war once told me he was proud of having fought in Afghanistan. What a twit he was. The Canadian Legion and the Liberals and Conservatives were kissing American asses. They're still doing it.
Then we have our very own scoundrels.
When I lived for some twenty years in New Brunswick, I was struck by the blatant thievery of the Irving family. They demand - and get - huge sums of money from taxpayers -gifts of millions of dollars every year. Is that bad? You're damn right it is. In the first place, the Irvings demand and get millions of dollars from the people of New Brunswick. Why? Damned if I know why. They have largely destroyed the forests of New Brunwick for a scale of damage than can never be fixed. They fill the air with the carbondioxide that is killing us all. They own (and control) all the newspapers of the province - all of whom lie for them. They create massive poverty in the province of New Brunswick. The Irvings are evil in the fullest meaning of that world.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is getting long - and I have a lot more to add to it. So I'll take break here, to give us all a chance to absorb it.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hatred, fear, lies...
I'm going to write a blog that I really don't want to write. It's about our news media and what digusting but deliberate lies they tell. I'm afraid it's also about us and our gullability. It's about our laziness and, frankly, our stupidity. This is certainly true of all Americans who are effectively destroying their own country. And it's true of all brainless Canadians who are Liberals or Conservatives. How's that for making enemies?
But I'll start it with China.
I recently read an American article on how evil the Chinese are. oh and how they are communists.
As a matter of fact, the Chinese are remarkably advanced - so much so that some very wealthy Americans have moved their operations to China. (Betcha didn't know that.)
And communism? It's very effective way to operate an economy. China is doing well with communism (yes it is). American capitalism has tens of thousands living and dying in the streets, and it has millions in extreme poverty in their capitalist jobs. Communism in China has created a Beijing of over 20 million people (way ahead of New York) and scheduled to reach 50 million. Other countries, like Tokyo, are following the Chinese lead. You can get pictures of Chinese prosperity with streets of very well dressed people. But you won't see any of those pictures in western news oaoers
The Irvings and other wealthy billionaires on our side of the world get their wealth from cheating us. China does it with stunning benefits to Chinese people. If you want a prosperous place to live, don't go to New Brunswick. go to China. it has superb universities (free). It's progress has been amazing. Don't even think of wasting your time in Canada or the U.S. China is world class. We are suckers to spend our lives kissing the asses of capitalists.
(Yes, I'm aware of the Chinese treatment of a certain tribal group. I certainly don't like it. and I also don't understand it.)
China is expanding considerably into Africa and into parts of Latin America where it is being welcomed.
We, in the west, are becoming history. One thinks of the 50s when the murderous U.S. sent it's very murderous CIA - the thugs who (illegally)murder for the U.S. - killing thousands of priests, nuns and missionaries in Guatemala. It may well (probably) have killed John F. Kennedy because he didn't want to kill people.Every president since then has been a killer to please big business.
The American defence of Taiwan? Come off it. Taiwan is a part of China. It's population now is made up of those Chinese thugs who had followed the horribly corrupt Chiang Kai-Shek to get control of the eastern drug traffic. That's the kind of people our big business supports.
We Canadians quite happily murdered Afghans for 20 years. We did it to kiss the asses of our American masters. Did we mass murder civilians and children just like Americans did? Did we rape and murder women just like the Americans did?
Of course we did. We are evil. The Canadian Legion is evil. The Canadian business world is evil. In many ways, we force evil on our children. I grew up in a poor district. That meant I and my friends would never finish school. (I was kicked out. I was just lucky - and the only kid in my district who would eventually become a professor.)
The leaders on our side are the super rich who don't give a damn for us. The American rich now want to wage the most savage and destructive war in history. With luck, the U.S. will collapse before that can happen. So what happens next?
China will become (has become) the most civilized and happy nation in the world. Indeed, it is already the most civilized and healthy nation in the world.
And the U.S.?
It is going to collapse with it's capitalism very soon, probably within days. Civil war is possible, even likely. - ==== no.....Civil war is a virtual certainty as the U.S. goes into it's final collapse. And there is every possibility that Canada will collapse with it. Certainly the Liberals and Conservatives will collapse for us
Oh, and forget a nuclear attack on China. China has the most advanced nuclear armament that can reach any country in the world. And it far outclasses qnything we have.
