American Glory

I have just read a report that is stunning. Indeed, it's the only believeable report on the murder of John F. Kennedy that makes sense. The usual story is that as he rode in a parade in a Texas city, a man shooting from an office building at a distance shot him. There has always been a lot of questioning about that. So here's an analysis that makes sense. At the end of World War Two, American capitalists expected (and still expect) to rule the world. That was widely supported by most Americans -and especially by the military and by the usual American hitmen (through agencies like the CIA which was already murdering Priests, nuns and missionaries in Guatemala) and - by most Americans as a deserved glory, glory, glory. They would rule the whole world. They're still working on that. That's what all the Americans overseas are doing - murdering millions to put their survivors under the control of American capitalists. That was the theme of American settlers and capitalists. And it still is. But that was not the view John F. Kennedy had. Kennedy hated war. He had fought in World War Two. He had watched some of his crew dying when his torpedo boat was sunk by a Japanese destroyer. He had seen a world that repelled him. He was very different from most Americans. Starting from kindergarten, American children had been raised on the glory of war and conquest. In fact, all American wars from the earliest settlers (and those wars were almost constant - native peoples, what was early on was Mexico which lost what is now the American west coast. Mexico also lost Texas and other states. These were all wars of the rich - fought to make them even richer. By world war two, American capitalists were happily deep in blood after plundering and mass murder over Latin America (failing to get Canada but that's coming.) Though born into a wealthy family, Kennedy's war experience made him different from other presidents. He wanted nothing to do with using the presidency to please murderous billionaires. He wanted nothing to do with billionaires, and hit men, and CIA, and all the other groups kissed up to the billionaires and government thugs and the military that wanted more war and more death. He refused to have anything to do with them. In short, Kennedy hated war, all war. And that did not go down well with American capitalists and the military, and killer agents and of the American government. At the end of world war 2, they saw all this. And what they wanted was a war of mass killing ending with American billionaires owning the whole world. And Kennedy was in the way. There has always been doubt about his killer, the man with a rifle shooting from a high story. Indeed, he was shooting at rather a long range - and there has always been a doubt that he was shooting at all, that there was another sniper supplied with the same bullets that he had. And that is why the "sniper" was killed soon after. But one thing is certain. Immediately after the death of Kennedy, the whole American army, the CIA, all of the forces became world murderers - and they have been to this day. But

Damn, Damn, Damn

I'm heading into a tumultuistime as I prepare to move from Ottawa down the road to Kingston on Dec. 13. I also need to get some serious repairs to my computer. So I'll be writing shorter blogs for a while. You may have noticed that the U.S. is very angry because a Chinese government official forced himself on China's leading tennis player. U.S.papers and TV have made a huge fuss of this. It has actually sent an official warning to China, and it has demanded full explanations and apologies. Indeed, the U.S. response is a clear threat of war on China for this act. (The tennis player reappered even as the U.S. got indignant. She seemed happy and smiling. I have no idea if there was such a sexual attack. I suspect there was.) But think hard. Has there ever been such an attack in any western country? Well, yes. In fact, it's standard practice in western countries - especially in the U.S.- and including Canada. Indeed, the U.S. in it's wars since 1949 has not only been a killer of women -and children and babies, on such a scale that it runs into millions for which nobody knows the count. (You might even ask the Canadian Legion to tell us about it's behaviour in twelve years of war in Afghanistan. Do you seriously think Canadians are different from Americans?) I don't know how many women (and children and babies) have been killed by the U.S. with Canadian help. I've seen estimates that run up as high as 50 million. Indeed, the U.S. has been a mass murderer of men women and children going all the way back to the earliest British settlers. So why is the U.S. murdering so much now? That's because it wants to ramp up hatred for a war against China as in Chinese are evil, Chinese are perverts--- (Americans are children of God.) And, yes, most Americans are dumb enough to believe that. (And lots of Canadians are, too.) And so Americans - and Canadians - will chant kill, kill, kill...hate... The purpose is to suck you in to the horror that can quite possibly destroy all of us. And, no. I'm not exaggerating. China and Russia are way ahead in nuclear weapons. They have rocket bombs that can fly over the whole world and hit any target. And if you believe our governments, you're a damn fool. China is not an evil country getting ready to kill us. It's sin is that it's outclassing our capitalists. Our sin is believing what our newspapers and TV tell us.

To The End of Time

As we approach today's blog, there's something we have to remember. The U.S. is the most vicious and murderous country in the world. And perhaps that should not surprise us. And no, I'm not exaggerating. It is the offspring of the British Empire in it's most vicious and murderous days. There's a good deal of that in Canada's treatment of it's native people, too, of course. But the U.S. has been much, much worse for all of American history. The U.S. has been killing,capturing, murdering, torturing in almost every year of it's existing - something like 9 years out of every ten. And it was several times invaded Canada - and ,no, it was not because Canada was attacking it. These days, the U.S. and it's newspapers and TV are cheering on it's murderous and torturing ways. So it was that it tortured and murdered men, women, and children. So it is that it now murders people all over the world because it now has a vision of murdering and plundering all over the world in places we never even hear of. The reason it entered World War Two had nothing to do with the evil of Hitler. (The U.S. was always worse than Nazi Germany. The U.S. entered the war because it wanted to take over the British-owned oil fields of the middle east, and it wanted (oh it wanted)to get control of China now that the British were kicked out. And it wanted to plunder and murder China as the British had. (American capitalists wanted that. China has, for the most part, been retaking what were once Chinese countries - like Taiwan.) The U.S. can achieve that only by nuclear bombing and so murdering a billion more Chinese elderly, adults, children,babies. So far, Canada has kissed the American ass in all these ventures. We are American puppets. Our news media aren't telling us, but I'm quite sure that we have been as brutal in some of these American wars. (In Afghanistan, we murdered people for 12 years. Why? Canadian governments have been gutless. And, oh, as long as Canadians are gutless and as long as The Legion is brainless, we are and will be murderers for an unspeakably vicious American nation. Yes. Of course. The U.S. will ask (tell) us to help it in murdering Chinese. The U.S. is a huge killing machine, the most vicious in the world, the most murderous bastard we have ever seen. And the Legion will send our young people to cheer on the killing. Get used to it. Make no mistake, the U.S. is the most savage and murderous country in the world. And it knows no limit to it's killing. This is an intensity of murder, plunder, rape, torture of the most brutal kind going back hundreds of years. Will Canada plunge into this war and it's unspeakable tragedy? You can bet on it. Our Legion tells us to obey the Americans. Oh, as the horror deepens, as both Canada and the U.S. suffer from our utter failure to deal with climate change, the U.S. will be taking over large parts of eastern Canada for more American cities to escape the horror afflicting so many American cities. Oh, there's another danger that's hard to appraise yet. The U.S. is, in effect, in a civil war. It never was a democracy. Nor was Canada. (almost all Canadians and Americans have no idea what the word democracy means. No. It does not mean to have a right to vote. A democracy is a society in which all people have an equal right to vote. And that's not true of a U.S. in which the super rich or a Canada in which the super rich have always dominated elections. (I really wish more Canadians would would take the trouble to understand that. We Canadians have usually elected corrupt Liberals and Conservatives. Thus so many of our provinces and, indeed, our country, are run by feather heads. Thus Trudeau as premier, the Ontario government, Alberta, a New Brunswick run by the plundering Irving family. So it is that the Legion will plunge Canada into a war that will really have nothing to do with Canada (like Afghanistan). We will send Canadians for terrible and quite uncessary murdering of at least a billion humans (and possibly many of us). We will be there as the ass-kissing servants of the most brutal, murderous bastards this world has ever known. At the end of it - well - we will get nothing except a world that will be a place of unlimited savagery as created by the most evil and vicious murder of a world. But, then, Cheer up. The billionaires of Canada, like the billionaires of the U.S.,I'm quite sure have their hiding places. Before we kiss up to the most vicious and murderous nation this world has known, we had better think of what we're doing. Our only chance of survival is to kick out our billionaires and to become a real democracy. (The U.S. will never do that. It has shifted almost all it's money into the pockets of the super rich, debased salaries of the poor, thrown its people into the streets, made the price of medical care impossible for most of the population. At the same time, it has taken us back to the world of fifteen hundred or so when most people lived in hunger and poverty - only kings and lords were allowed power. The U.S., for hundreds of years, has been the most evil and murderous country in the world. This is the beginning of an end which is within life times of our children.

One Hell of a Bad World

The big news of the day might appear in our commercial news media. But I doubt it. China has fired a super and ultra hypersonic speed missile capable of carrying nuclear bombs. It went all around the world and back to China. I doubt whether it has many. But it is capable of plunging any nuclear bomb onto --- us. Will the U.S. get the hint? (I doubt it. More likely, it will continue to attack China setting off the most destructive war in history. And the superich of the west? They will be off into their shelters with their servants and flunkies.) Even from it's earliest contact with native peoples, the US has been non-stop murderous with native peoples, with Mexicans, with Latin Americans, and now with dozens of countries our news media don't tell us about. And, despite it's free use of mass murder including babies, it's common and illegal use of torture, it's illegal use of bombing of countries it's not at war with, the plundering of it's own people - throwing millions into the streets, It's unmatched military spending while many, many (most) millions of Americans suffer starvation and lack of medical care.... this is actually worse than the British Empire was. In all of it's wars since 1949 and it's huge expenditure on war (the biggest in the world) the American military has not been impressive since 1949. (The American war machine also supplies, free of charge, nations all over the world - Israel, for example, so it can murder it's neighbours.) China is actually far, far more peaceful than the U.S. is. In fact, China's wish to add Taiwan to it is quite reasonable. Taiwan was a part of China until it was taken by our good friend Chiang Kai-Shek who used it as a base to control the sale of narcotics all over the region. At this point I remember Trudeau, a couple of years ago, I think, standing at the U.S. border and and assuring American politicians and oil bosses, Canada would welcome them to send pipelines to B.C. At the same time Canada's Liberals and Conservatives Assured the oil industry of Canada it was welcome. And do you know that Canadian oil production is fourth in the world at 5.26 million barrels a day? To make it worse, we are destroying our forests (especially in New Brunswick) which hugely adds to the carbon dioxide in our air. Will the Glasgow meeting on climate control change anything? No. Though our news media have not said so, that conference in Glasgow was a farce dominated the very large presence of trillionaires. (What the hell were trillionaires doing at such a meeting? The reality of our Conservatives, Liberals, and both U.S. parties is they were all fronting for the wealthy people who owned them.) This is a short blog because I've been plagued with the sicknesses all us old folks have.But I have lots more material. So I'll be getting back to the rest of us. And BC is a taste of what's coming to us.

wow!

I've been away (in Montreal) for several days. On returning I've learned that one of my students from many years ago is now one of our readers. John Watt was my student in grade 4 in my first teaching job, at Parkdale School (in St. Laurent). It was delightful to hear from him. After several years of dreadful jobs, teaching grade four was a delight. And I do really, really thank him for reminding me of those happy days. A big kiss for John Watt. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ alas! The rest of this blog is less happy. The U.S. has far the most expensive army in the world. For almost 70 years it's military has been killing millions all over the world. And it's record is almost laughable. The U.S. murders millions all over that world which, really, it was doing on an almost daily basis from the start. And the people the wars were fought to please were the wealthy of the U.S. who wanted the plunder. (Look - almost all wars are fought to benefit the super rich. And that has been true for the super rich all over the world and all through history.) But this expensive gang of thugs and torturers has lost wars even from the tiniest of enemies (Like Afghanistan. And the Canadians, since the beginning of our subservience (and ass kissing of Americans) have been no better. (But the Canadian Legion will wet it'd pants at any chance to fight for the U.S. and murder at least a billion Chinese- mostly non-soldiers, women and children.) This war has to be fought in unconventional terms. And that means nuclear weapons. But those come at a terrible risk. China and Russia both have advanced systems of nuclear warfare. And these weapons can now reach North American targets. But don't fret. The super rich of Canada and the U.S. will be undercover in those days. You think I'm exaggerating? Not a bit. Our super rich don't care who they kill so long as it's not them. And the U.S. army is trained in torture. Guantanamo is just one centre that holds dozens of prisoners for (illegal) torture. Hitler is gone. But Americans are the new Naziis. And, no, I am not exaggerating. And Trudeau is a wimp. So are the Conservative leaders. Neither Canada nor the U.S. is a democracy by any definition. Luckily for the Liberals and Conservatives, Canadians have no knowledge of what the word democracy means. But you cannot have politicians who are owned by billionaires. Really, there are very, very few democracies in our world. I might add that our churches have been no help. (Of course, one doesn't expect anything intelligent from the Jesus jumpers of the fundamentalist churches. but the Catholic and the Protestant mainstream churches have been no help at all in this. Of course, they never have been.) In every western church I've heard of, all have supported wars - and were based on nationality. The German churches supported Hitler in 1939. The Anglicans of Britain supported the mass murder and plundering of the British Empire at it's foulest. American churches reacted not at all to the American murder of native peoples and to the U.S. constant war and plunder throughout it's history. And in Canada we have Catholics who have been murdering uncounted thousands of native children. And they've made it clear they have no intention of dealing with that. In China? It's quite possible, almost certain, we're now approaching the final war. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The world's leaders met in Glasgow to discuss a plan to deal with climate change. This was a very big meeting. And it accomplished nothing. I don't know what our news media have reported about it. I learned a long time ago to ignore our commercial news media. The reality that I've learned from more honest sources is that the end of this conference was a failure. Conclusions were extremely vague. And the roles of gasoline and coal were so as not to offend the oil industry or coal.`And, well, we don't have the time for that. It was all vague, and with no enforcement rules. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Who am I?

I've been writing for this site for quite a while now. But readers still don't know who I am or what qualifications I have to write a column. so.... I was born at the height of the depression and grew up into one of the worst districts in the city. We were just a walk from the Italian Mafia area. Our next door neighbour was a small time mafia killer who was found one morning in a shallow lake with chains wrapped around him. The English population in that district was very, very small. And the French gangs would patrol the streets to kick us into the sidewalks. (boys fought. girls played. My sister was quite fluent in French by the age of six.) At the age of 9 I moved into a school notorious for overage and brutality. In grade 11 I was notorious for skipping school. They Principal called me down. Let's face it, he said, you have no brains at all. Pack up your books and get a job. So I got one in the horrible factory my father worked in. Well, where I lived it didn't matter. Almost all my friends dropped out even earlier. We weren't expected to have any brains. However, I finished high school in a special class for morons. And that got me into night courses in university where I did terribly but (barely) passed. My father was very upset that I was trying to rise above my station. Kids where I lived weren't supposed to rise. But my next step took me to a teaching diploma which was a happy choice. I learned how to teach , and I had three wonderful years as a grade four teacher, then three more as a high school teacher. Then there was that glorious summer in a Nova Scotia university (Acadia). I got an A. I went home and crushed my parents who felt I was rising above my station. My father, a very powerful man, tried to throw me down the stairs. But I went to Acadia for 2 years. That got me into a PhD programme at a prestigious school. And I passed. Dr. Graeme Decarie Ph.D. I wish I could say was was impressed by professors. I wasn't. They had a quite bloated image of how wonderful they were. And they really didn't know how to teach. They still don't. (I published an article on that which has never made me any friends.) But I liked the teaching part. I also was on radio ever morning. And I was on TV uncountable times acoss Canada. In a typical year, I also gave public talks to large audiences. My favourite audiences were Jewish. (Christians, I learned, were a pretty trivial bunch.) Oh, and I often wrote - but didn't like it. Our news media are liars that I preferred to have nothing to do with. Oh, I also had rather exciting times. My university often sent me to teach in universities in Hong Kong and the Netherlands. I was to boost students who would come to my university. loved it. Another oh, I was over twenty years as a senior executive in Alliance Quebec, an organization to save the English in Separatist Quebec. And that was over twenty years of death threats, extremely dangerous situations, an attack to plunder my home........

Bad, Bad Times

The American military, for all it's size and cost, has really not been impressive in it's wars since 1945 - even though all of them have been against vastly inferior opponents and it's use of torture. That was true from the start as it plunged into a wars against Korea, Bay of Pigs in Cuba, Afghanistan, and others. In fact, we have no idea how many wars it has been losing because our news hasn't been telling all of them. Now, the U.S. has by far the biggest and most expensive army in the world. And it's been losing to much smaller and poorer countries. It's too bad that the Canadian Legion hasn't noticed that before sending off Canadians to kill and die in wars that have nothing to do with them. But, then, the Legion has always been more than a little retarded. The U.S. has by far the biggest military financing in the world. It's military development has been lavish - so much so that it financially outclasses everybody.But it's performance has been in the toilet. Afghanistan, the part the U.S. fought in, was a very small power. And the U.S. couldn't handle that - not even when Canada joined it. (And that, incidentally, was with the full support of the Canadian Legion. Think about that before you send more Canadians to get killed in somebody else's wars.) The U.S. is now getting ready for a massive attack with nuclear missiles that would be likely to kill a billion and more Chinese, men, women and children who don't deserve to die. But the world of nuclear missiles has changed. Russia and China now have nuclear missiles - and it's one hell of a different world for us. Russia and China have developed missiles far exceeding the destructiveness of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Nuclear missiles can now be fired at unbelievable speeds at least half way around the world to----us. As well, they can be and are fired from Russian and Chinese submarines. I am suddenly reminded of billionaires bragging of some years ago. They were building mansions underneath the desert sands. There, at any sign of danger, they would live in those monster mansions under the sand that they and their servants and flunkies, perhaps a hundred or so for each underground mansion. I know that 'mansions' were built. And in a world of nuclear missiles your only hope might be to kiss up as a servant - if you can find an underground mansion. We live in one hell of an ugly world with every possibility and likelihood of our destruction. Ever notice how few of our billionaires ever enter military service? As I flicked through my computer I came across a picture of a Ukrainian soldier. (Ukraine was neatly taken from Russia by American intrusion.) The soldier had a symbol which is worn, I guess, by all of them. It was a swastika.And he's on our side. Whoopee!
