In the 60s we were a few short steps away from the dream of democratic peace and prosperity our ancestors had fought for for centuries - and here we are as the first decade of the 21st century stumbles to an end on the edge of the abyss with nothing but grim in sight as chaos and turmoil threaten from all sides -

The (somewhat erratic) daily observations...
They fear the Voice of Green Island!!!
Nov 4 - and again!! - a blatant censoring -
GM Public Editor - 'We covered all the bases!' - dave, of course, isn't comfortable with that notion, and mildly comments -
'Well, just have to take a minute and call BS on that claim. Actually to use a different sport, the ball was fumbled from the getgo, really. Major issue - we have big budgetary problems in the country, and a lot of debate was about Trudeau's 'budget deficit' plan vs the promise of the others for 'balanced budget'. But not a word about a far more important issues - why is a sovereign government talking about 'budget deficits' at all? Why do we have a $600 billion dollar national debt, upon which we have paid a trillion dollars in 'interest' the last 30 years? Why would a supposedly sovereign country allow a private banking cartel to create its money (actually credit), and borrow that 'fiat money-aka-credit' into existence, leading to huge debts for businesses, consumers and governments, and massive transfer of wealth from ordinary people to the banking cartel? more info here - What Happened http://www.rudemacedon.ca/what-happened.html . (the rest of the election coverage was mainly gossip and mush - next to nothing on what major trade treaties being negotiated actually mean for us, no 'substance' re electoral reform, speaking of which, nary a word to be found about how the Libs 'won' a 'great majority - with 40% of the vote, and how democratic is this, really? And etc. Nice to look in a mirror and tell yourself how wonderful you are, but you're getting delusional when you believe yourself.'
- and then -
{{{oooooo - guess what????? - Thank you for your comment. It is being reviewed by a moderator and will be posted provided it follows The Globe’s community guidelines (e.g. no offensive language or unsubstantiated allegations).]]]] (not sure what 'language' there would be 'offensive', or 'allegations' 'unsubstantiated' - but liars and braggarts don't like being contradicted, of course ...) {{{>> checked back a few hours later - not there. Not to make an overly big deal of my comments, of course - the real point is, how many OTHERS are they simply refusing to let speak? As a pretty smart guy once noted (a really bad guy, but a lot of bad guys are smart too, something the PCers don't like to think about much) - you don't know what you don't know. Anyway, just a couple for the record, when they deny they censor ....
Sept 5 - Interesting news - I've been recognized as a powerful enough voice that ALL of the Cdn media are carefully screening anything I try to write in their comments sections, and censoring most of it - today the Globe made it very clear I won't be welcome commenting at least on any of the serious propaganda they run - this story -
the world is watching and doing nothing! drew my ire, again, and I tried to comment: "This is really bad for the GM, this kind of rewriting of history, something you might expect in some totalitarian state brainwashing its people (oh wait ... ???) - anyway, to just try to lay what is happening today at the feet of Assad, with no mention at all of how the US, with the full support of Canada and the Cdn media with its American-sycophant propagandists like this Mason, has created the chaos in the mideast, chaos directly responsible for the rise of ISIS and the ongoing humanitarian disasters that infuse the region, is just propaganda and lies, and the GM should be having some very serious discussions about what it is doing here - if you want to carry the dissemblings (to be kind) of an American-empire propagandist warmonger like Mason, you owe it to your readers to carry some commentary from someone with their feet a little more firmly on realityland ground. It should be very clear by now that, no matter how much people disliked leaders like Saddam and Gaddaffi, they were maintaining relatively stable states, and keeping the true religious crazies such as those who run ISIS, under control. (and you should think a bit deeper - many if not most of the 'atrocities' they were accusing Saddam and Gaddaffi of were just more propaganda and lies - the US had geopolitical reasons for wanting these people gone, but going to 'the people' and saying we don't like these bast***s so are going to start bombing their countries, would be a hard sell, so the 'Iraqi soldiers throwing poor wee babies out of incubators OMG!!!!' and 'He has WMDs and wants to bomb us OMG!!!!' ***advertising*** campaigns were used to sell the removal of them to the sadly gullible western peoples. It's true Canada has some culpability here, but not because the Harper gov has strict immigration policies, but because over the last 20 years we have supported the destabilisation of the entire region in service to the American hegemon." - and it didn't even get posted, just this - 'Your comment is awaiting moderation' }} {{ and 20 minutes later my attempted post is gone, and the notice}
- so still liking to have my say, I tried this in response to another comment - '...- glad to see others are sharing my thoughts - I've tried to comment, but they won't let me ...' - and surprise surprise!!!!! - 'Your comment is awaiting moderation' ] - and a few minutes later, nothing left, as if it never existed -
>>> the thing is, of course, nobody knows about rejected comments, and thus nobody, or only a few of us, understand that the Cdn media rejects comments **not** because of what a normal person would think of as 'community standards' referring to abusive language or something, but very, very clearly for political reasons. I long ago gave up on trying the CBC or the Star, who won't allow anything suggesting the media are doing propaganda, which is of course my general entry point.
I am, as I said, somewhat pleased to note that the GM, the 'serious' paper in Canada, now also considers my political voice to be strong enough to scare them ... - this does not deter me in any way, my friends, just makes me more determined than ever to not rest until I see all of you in jail, and exposed as the traitors to our country and 'democracy' you all really are. My voice is stronger, as those who call me enemy and openly try to silence me define my strength.
Got the same treatment a few days ago at the NP, which until now I have kind of respected - I disagree with a good deal of what they write, but they have left me pretty free to say what I wanted, usually sparring with the orcbrains that seem to congregate around the comments sections there - this for example, drowned boy's family sought refuge in Canada - I was just doing a quick scroll through, pointing out here and there that if we want to solve any problems, we need to understand and address the root causes, which, of course, is the US destruction of Iraq, then Libya, and their attempted destruction of Assad the last few years, and the orcs are just screaming at me, and now and then I lop off a head, and then after email notifications from Discus going back to re-respond to some idiot find a lot of my comments have been removed!!! - nothing at all to do with 'community standards' - as defined by the orcs around here, pretty much anything goes, at least for them. Again, what is one to assume? What can one assume? This is a very, very important bit of propaganda to the rulers, to establish and maintain two stories here, first that this is a Harper problem for slowing down the refugee process, and secondly that if we look for 'root causes', it must be believed that 'Assad's monstrous war on his own people which led to the civil war!!' must be believed by everyone, and no fucking way is any questioning of this key belief going to be allowed. They seem to have a couple of mild suggestions that earlier US actions might be involved, but it seems my voice is too strong to be allowed.
Which leads to only once conclusion - they're ramping up the takeover, and dangerous dissent must be pushed back even further than it is now.
NWO - coming soon to a Canada near you. Officially.
