Today, Brunswick News actually had a piece of world news. Canadian troops are in Iraq. Remember how all our history books talk about how wonderful it was that, between the two world wars, Canada got the right to declare war on its own? I must have missed the Canadian declaration of war on Iraq.

Twenty years from now, probably less, Europe is going to have one hell of a crisis with young refugees. The neglect of refugee children has been brutal. There's going to be a price for it. Meanwhile, the U.S. which created all those refugees, refused to play an part in helping them. In the minds of the business moguls who run the U.S., there is no future. There is only now.
And we have caused so much chaos, especially in the middle east, that the problem will go on for generations. How often have you heard a politician (or a businessman) even mention that?
Greed and stupidity go hand in hand.

Here is one of the many stories on how 20 million children are going to starve to death in the near future. And we aren't even thinking about it. The reality is we don't care. Read the Brunswick News on this. All we have to do is to make our billionaires richer, and then the money will flow down to make us rich.
Right.
That has never worked. It never will. But we struggle on to make it worse by letting the very wealthy escape taxes and even let them demand handovers of our taxes to them for being good enough to accept profitable contracts.

This, not Trump, is the cause of the crash that is happening in the U.S. Yes, Trump is a disturbed man. What do you think Bush was when he killed over a million Iraqis?What do you think Obama was when he created the disaster that is Syria, and when he stepped up drone attacks all over the world? What do you think Bush Sr. was when he slaughtered 300,000 Guatemalans? What do you think Clinton was when she giggled at the thought of Ghadaffi being killed with a knife up his rectum?
There is a madness loose in the world. It is largely an American madness with wimps like Canada tagging along. And, oh, there is going to be a price for it.

I include the next item only because so many people are obsessed with Trump, and see him as the cause of our problems. The reality is that our problems were created by most post-war presidents, and by the invisible power and greed of some extremely wealthy people.
For example, it was that nice Mr. Kennedy who began the war that murdered many millions of Vietnamese. Ever see a reasonable explanation why he did that? I haven't.

Canadian and U.S. comanies dominate mining and other industries in South America. It is, I think, more than a coincidence that people in South America who protest environmental destruction and exploitation have a strong chance of getting murdered.

Here is a stunning report on the US 'defence' budget. It's corrupt. It's outragerously expensive. And it has a profound effect on Canada. General Eisenhower saw this coming some seventy years ago. And it's even worse than he said it would be.
And the U.S. tells us that It's Russia and China (and Iraq and AFghanistan and Yemen and Syria) that are threatening it. (In fact, evil Russia has drastically reduced its military budget.)

Here are two, conflicting stories. Whatever the truth, we are reaping a very dangerous harvest in the middle east.
The American reliance on military force has been largely a disaster since world war two, leaving nothing but instabliity, hatred, starvation.... Now the instability is getting much worse. Turkey is looking at making itself the dominant force in the middle east. So is Saudi Arabia. Now Russia has stepped in to be a major player in the region.America's political/military efforts have been disastrous with worse to come.

I have mixed feelings about the next item. The U.S. has long wanted control of China. So it still plays with hopes for a presence in the former British colony of Hong Kong. Essentially, Hong Kong was a dictatorship under the British - who were also insufferably arrogant.
But the people of Hong Kong, much as they detested the British, were not eager to rejoin a communist China. They were prepared to accept it - but not eager. Since then, China has changed a great deal; and Hong Kongers seem more willing to accept its rule.
But the U.S. is still hungry for control of that huge market.
