Guess who Pompeo and Kushner represent in government.

Take Bilderberg very, very seriously. The kind of people who belong to it are the same breed as the British capitalists who plundered the resources and labour of much of the world - as in India and China - the ones who, in the British empire slaughtered 350 million people to make themselves rich beyond dreams. And, while slaughtering and exploiting people all over the world, they kept most of the British in hopeless poverty.
Of exactly the same breed are the American capitalists who have killed some 20 million since 1945, and who are edging toward towards wars with Venezuela, Iran and, very likely, both China and Russia. Well, they are also targeting the people of the whole western world - Canadian, American, British, French, Italian....others.
The have been exploiting all the world that they can reach. And they've been doing it for centuries. That's why, in their 'great' days of empire, while they got massively richer, most of the rest of us got poorer. It's quite deliberate.
The working class of Canada and the U.S. for example has been growing poorer for several decades - which the very rich have been growing ever richer. It's a fact. Americans are NOT getting richer. They've been getting poorer - as have Canadians. Meanwhile, the space between them and their very rich has been growing at a spectacular rate. And this isn't going to change so long as we sit around with our faces hanging out.
They want to take over government? That's a laugh. They took governments over two or three centuries ago. From day 1, the American revolution happened because wealthy Americans - like George Washington - wanted to break away from British control so they could take control of all the lands and resources, most of which were still held by native peoples.
And John A. and Sir Charles Tupper and friends? They were all on the take. Capitalists have owned our governments big time. The Lavallin scandal is nothing new. And to change one's vote on this from Liberal to Conservative is, to put it kindly, immoral.
Canadians are manipulated, lied to, impoverished for the benefit of the very wealthy. (The U.S. is actually worse. And with the help of GW and the boys it has kept large numbers of Americans very, very poor, in a country that produces wealthy for all to be secure.
The wealthy pay no income taxes. It organized wars to profit itself - but makes the rest of us pay for them and and die for them. And that is true of both sides of most wars in the last several centuries.
Yes. It was. The U.S. did not enter World War 2 for fight for God and honour. It entered because its capitalists saw a chance to steal China from a staggering Britain. Neither Britain nor the U.S. had any objection to Hitler. They were quite happy to let me kill all the Jews he liked so long as he was their barrier to Russian communist expansion. But as soon as he indicated making an alliance with Russia (as he did in sharing Eastern Europe with Russia), they changed their minds.
In short, the Bilderberg Group is an organization of the greediest and and most murderous in our society. Can it influence our capitalists governments? It can. And it has for many years. From Canada, Liberal and Conservative politicians have been active in The Bilderberg Group. And they have included Canadian prime ministers. This is just as true - more so - in the U.S., Britain, France, etc.
And it's no secret. The purpose of Bilderberg is to destroy democracy, replacing our government with unelected billionaires Yes. Get scared. Think of a prominent Conservative P.M. who was and perhaps is very active with Bilderberg. Think of Pierre Trudeau who was astonishing in attending one of their conferences.
Think of how our news media have had almost nothing to say about this group - though they are without doubt the greediest and most vicious bastards this world has seen for a long time.
(Yes. I know our news media would have difficulty in getting much information out of Bilderberg. But, Lord, they could try at least a little bit. They could tell us who is at this conference, for example. But they don't. That's because most of the Bilderbergers are the same insanely greedy billionaires who own most of the world's news media.)
This is probably the most destructive movement this world has ever seen - and our news media are mostly silent.

I had returned to Montreal just days before Tiananmen Square. In fact, in those days, I had been in Beijing. And as I followed the news, I did not regret leaving at all.
I broke the news to a colleague who was an ardent communist. He was shatterred.
He need not have been. Chinese communism was fading. In fact, one of my Hong Kong students already had become a promising capitalist in 'communist' China. And today, he is a major capitalist in that country.
The more things change, the more they are the same.

To add to that, there's the American military record since 1945. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Laos, Cambodia.... it has been brutal with as a bonus, a heavy use of chemicals and a strong bent for murdering civilians and children. But it's military record has not been impressive.
I hope this report turns out to be correct.

Why one earth should private schools get subsidies? We supply public schools for all. If the rich want to give their children The things that most children cannot have, they should pay for them . After all, they are the rich ones.
But all over the western world, it is common to subsidize schools for rich kids.
If the public schools are not good enough, then we should spend more money on them, not starve them. That money we give to private schools would be far better spent on all children.

Interestingly, it is rare to find prominent American politicians who served in the military. Trump is fond of shaking hands with soldiers, and praising them in his tweets. But he was never one of them - though he would have fit into several wars..
Bush Jr. was a draft dodger who spent his war in Texas (with daddy's help).
I once met the sons of one of Montreal's richest men. They had been drafted for WW2 - and were immediately posted to offices of the Battle Front of Washington, D.C.

Right now!

I had returned to Montreal just days before Tiananmen Square. In fact, in those days, I had been in Beijing. And as I followed the news, I did not regret leaving at all.
I broke the news to a colleague who was an ardent communist. He was shatterred.
He need not have been. Chinese communism was fading. In fact, one of my Hong Kong students already had become a promising capitalist in 'communist' China. And today, he is a major capitalist in that country.
The more things change, the more they are the same.

In the viciousness of its government and it's capitalists, Britain, even today's, resembles the worst behaviour of the United States. Indeed, the United States IS simply an extension of the worst features of the British Empire.

To add to that, there's the American military record since 1945. Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Laos, Cambodia.... it has been brutal with as a bonus, a heavy use of chemicals and a strong bent for murdering civilians and children. But it's military record has not been impressive.
I hope this report turns out to be correct.

Why one earth should private schools get subsidies? We supply public schools for all. If the rich want to give their children The things that most children cannot have, they should pay for them . After all, they are the rich ones.
But all over the western world, it is common to subsidize schools for rich kids.
If the public schools are not good enough, then we should spend more money on them, not starve them. That money we give to private schools would be far better spent on all children.

In modern war, Women and children are the major targets. And patriotism now means killing everything that moves.

Interestingly, it is rare to find prominent American politicians who served in the military. Trump is fond of shaking hands with soldiers, and praising them in his tweets. But he was never one of them - though he would have fit into several wars..
Bush Jr. was a draft dodger who spent his war in Texas (with daddy's help).
I once met the sons of one of Montreal's richest men. They had been drafted for WW2 - and were immediately posted to offices of the Battle Front of Washington, D.C.

This is not rare. It has been true of our mass media since the late nineteenth century. They lie constantly - according to the wishes of their very rich owners.
When I lived in New Brunswick, I thought the irving press as bad as it could get. But now I live in Ottawa and have Canada's National Post....

Wow! Just 2800 years. That will create a hell of a lot more jobs than pumping oil will. Of course, it will be very, very expensive. In fact, it would be cheaper just to hand over Alberta to the U.S.
Right now!

Well, I'm very pleased to see Canada playing such a leading role as the item below indicates. But I can't help wondering why a country the size of Canada is playing such a leading role. Don't other (and bigger) countries worry about women's rights?
