A Heads-Up from Canada

As the Mad King forges his alliance with Russia and China, he seems hell bent on causing the demise of the America you knew. If he is not stopped soon, Americans will be living in a Banana Republic plutocracy as he sells our national resources to fill his own pockets. Putin must have captured his imagination with the “Dugin Plan” for Tri-Partate world domination; he stands stupidly transfixed …if he crashes our economy and trashes our reputation, it doesn’t matter — he expects to be the last man standing (or escaping to Moscow in his Arab jet if it can get off the ground with that much gold).

Even though I quite recently posted a blog about how Canadian PM Mark Carney outsmarted our extortionist-in-chief, I am posting his comments from the Davos Summit here because he nails the situation “dead nuts.” Here’s the article from Deutsche Welle World News (reprinted here without permission):

“”Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has warned of global fissures beyond US threats to Greenland in a WEF speech that won him a standing ovation on Tuesday.

“We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false, that the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient, that trade rules were enforced asymmetrically,” Carney said in a speech at Davos.

He pointed out that US power had meant that the rules-based order had been imperfect, with the enforcement of trade rules and international law applying on the basis of military and economic might.

“This fiction was useful, and American hegemony, in particular, helped provide public goods, open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security and support for frameworks for resolving disputes,” Carney said. “We placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals, and we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality.”
“The question for middle powers, like Canada, is not whether to adapt to the new reality — we must,” Carney said. “The question is whether we adapt by simply building higher walls — or whether we can do something more ambitious.”

“In a world of great power rivalry, the countries in between have a choice: compete with each other for favor or to combine to create a third path with impact,” he said. “[We] argue the middle powers must act together because if we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu.”” — DW News

 

 

The Red Herring

I’ve been warning that the so-called “Epstein Files” were a “red herring” since 2024:

“A red herring is a rhetorical device or logical fallacy that distracts from the main issue or argument by introducing an irrelevant topic. It’s often used in debates, discussions, or writing to mislead or divert attention away from the original point. The term derives from the practice of using a strong-smelling fish to throw hounds off a scent during a hunt, metaphorically representing a misleading clue.” — from AI query

Recall that Donald Trump used his first day in office to task his hand-picked lackeys in the “Justice” Department to assign 1,000 FBI agents to purge his name (and presumably, the names of Elon Musk, Bill Gates, and Peter Theil) from files used in the criminal investigations into Jeffrey Epstein. This fact was so widely reported at the time by mainstream media that it’s inconceivable the media seems to have amnesia as they race to create a new media event about the release of whatever crumbs are left after a full year of redacting, shredding, and losing records. Can there be anything left for the public to see? I doubt it. What Trump wants to hide is the Russia connection to the potential blackmail the files might contain. His cry to release the files is a “red herring” the media will use to sell hope that justice will be done.

There is only one important story worthy of headlines, and you can rest assured it won’t appear in the legacy news: The takeover of America by a cabal of evil billionaires backed by adversarial foreign governments, particularly Russia, in a bloodless coup. Any other story is a red herring to distract you.

 

Move Over Epstein, There’s a New Friend in Town:
Meet Trump’s Next Best Friend, Mark Carney

Donald Trump had a change of heart about Canada’s Prime Minister, Mark Carney. Today, Mr. Carney is “a World Class Leader” because today, Mr. Trump really doesn’t have any choice: Mr. Carney has him by the balls, so naturally, Trump’s heart and mind  followed.

When the American Bloviator recently tried out his signature Mafia move (extortion) on Canada, he met with …I believe the popular buzz-word is “pushback.” Not an elegant speaker, Mr. Trump essentially said, “Nice country you got there, Canada. Shame if it was to become our fifty-first state.”

But that was yesterday. Today, Mr. Carney is his new best friend …at least, that’s what Trump is floating in today’s run-it-past-the press-first gambit. Mind you, Mr. Carney did something to bring about Trump’s apparent change of heartless without resorting to any expected Kushner bribes, effusive over-the-top flattery, or that compulsory blowjob Mafia Don usually demands; and with the full blunt-force of the United States standing in as his “goombah,” BLOATUS usually gets his way. So the real mystery is: What did Mark Carney do to cause Mr. Trump’s sudden about face?    Continue reading

 

America: Land of the Addicted Consumer

America: Land of the Addicted Consumer

Let’s face this simple fact about Americans: We are a nation addicts:

“Addiction is a chronic medical disease characterized by compulsive engagement in rewarding behaviors or substance use despite harmful consequences. It involves complex interactions among brain circuits, genetics, environmental factors, and individual life experiences, leading to changes in brain function and behavior control.” – National Institutes of Health

So here we are, addicted to smartphones, social media, sugar and fat, video games, and pornography — to name but a few. To understand the story of how we got here, we need to understand something of the story of organized crime in America. From the Prohibition era onward, Lucky Luciano and his childhood friend and “business associate,” Meyer Lansky, knew addiction very, very well. Luciano’s businesses were heroin and prostitution, and Lansky invented the modern casino. These men knew nothing of the languages of neuroscience or brain chemistry, but they knew how to manipulate both from their direct observation of addiction.

The original purposes of the casinos were three fold:
1. To generate a flow of untraceable cash
2. To launder money from the heroin trade
3. To create a venue for gangsters to mix and mingle with Hollywood stars    Continue reading “America: Land of the Addicted Consumer”

Workplace Freedom of Speech

I’m using this post to explain how you are losing your right to free speech in America, and I’m pretty sure it isn’t the reason you’re thinking. Also note that when I say “you” lost your free speech, I don’t mean the media lost their ability to spin tall tales. The corporate media can say anything they all agree on. They present “both sides” of whatever they decide the issue de jour is, and throw a pundit or two on your screen. Naturally, they withhold or minimize any information they don’t want you to know about. Let’s step back in time for a brief back-story, then return to the dilemma:

When personal computing was but a glimmer in a nerd’s eye, an early word processor, called WordPerfect, was a miracle. Forty years later, it is still a textbook example of a well-made application: The developers actually debugged the program before they sold it to you! WordPerfect? You probably only know about Microsoft Word. Word was released in 1983, and was crap by comparison. Very few people bought Word because it was so inferior to WordPerfect; however, you already know, that wasn’t the end of the Word story. While Word didn’t sell well and no one liked using it, that’s where the genius of sociopath and rumored pedophile Bill Gates came into play. Continue reading “Orwell Nailed This One!”
