Canada's longest-serving prime minister (1921-30+'35-48) & Rockefeller employee William Mackenzie King near retirement:
“it was the secret aim of every American leader, including Franklin Roosevelt, to dominate Canada & ultimately to possess the country” (*Perras 2021*pp. 44-45)
"#cdnpoli is the least democratic of all liberal western democracies. While this statement could be shrugged off as naive or inflammatory, it’s true."

You may find yourself wondering why it seems like politicians in Canada do whatever they want with little regard to the population. Well, here's why: because Canada isn't actually a democracy. It's a dictatorship of the manageriat.

The Empire never died.
The British Empire is still with us, in the UK’s island outposts and military bases, in the plunder of other countries’ resources, and in UK officials’ imperial mindset.

True. To the creditor-rentier parasites, recessions are useful bankruptcy auctions. Make the public so poor and indebted they have to sell off their assets for next to nothing. Eventually the parasites own everything essential and the public have to rent it all back. Cinch!
Raising interest rates to stop the private sector from spending £ will result in a recession.
The national debt will increase - profiting the bond markets with interest payments.
Then government austerity measures cut in because they’ll claim there isn’t enough “tax payers money” to fund public services.
The banksters then swoop to invest in care homes, the NHS and even council services like waste collections… paid for by increased council taxes.
So it goes like this
Energy Prices £⬆️
Energy Company Profits £⬆️
Household Finances £⬇️
Bond Market Investors £⬆️
(from BoE interest and deals to run public services)
Council Taxes £⬆️
Government Spending ⬇️
U.K. Economy ⬇️

native Americans only get national media attention as objects of hatred, mockery and derision, with the very few who even just rhetorically object to gleefully celebrating their genocide being browbeaten to recant in record time lest they be defined as "weird fanatics". Meanwhile conservative sub-humans like Matt Walsh and Ben Shapiro produce epic based "series" gloating in their mass murder and rape and saying how it was not only morally justified but necessary, and it gets zero attention.

My hotel room was forced while I was in the Supreme Court and the jamb spilt apart. But nothing was taken, £180 cash left on the table.
Please note just in case. I am not suicidal, I have the most wonderful family and friends and many battles to fight.

Norman Finkelstein, in his final book, comprehensively exposes the deceit, politicking, and careerism that enabled the Gaza genocide at the world’s highest international courts.
Watch our conversation on The Chris Hedges Report now. Link below.
The Freedom Convoy saved me from the abyss. It restored my faith in my fellow man.
I lost my job due to the vaccine mandates. I struggled to find a workplace that would not discriminate.
I felt alone. Like I had no hope.
The Freedom Convoy restored my sense of belonging as a Canadian.
It restored my faith in my fellow Canadians.
It helped push back the tide authoritarianism from going full totalitarian.
I thank all those truckers and supporters for help saving me and others from the abyss.
There still remains more work to be done to rescue Canada.
Thanks to the truckers there is still hope Canada can be salvaged.
Remember, it's always darkest before the dawn.

In my ongoing critique of usury I don't want anyone to think private moneylending is entirely costless. However, we can divide the costs into two categories.
The first category covers obvious real costs. The second category covers what we might call hypothetical implicit bollocks we've just made up as potential risks but we want more interest to line our pockets otherwise you can f*ck off and do without the money and we'll find some other mug to lend it to costs.
1. Real Costs
Adminstrative costs such as employee salaries, tech and buildings, and inflation that causes a reduction in the repayment's purchasing power over time. So some (usually single-figure) interest payment can be justified in reality.
2. Hypothetical Implicit Bollocks Costs
Opportunity costs such as returns lost by not investing in the next best option, the 'risk of default' cost demanding a premium, the cost of locking up cash and losing flexibility, which demands a liquidity premium, and, most nebulous of all, compensation for the sheer uncertainty of what might happen over time. Oh, diddums. Justifiable? You decide.

An alliance of leftwing European political parties co-founded by former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis has lost access to its bank account.
The Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM25) said on Tuesday that its account was “closed suddenly and without warning” on 8 October, and the group has lost access to tens of thousands of euros.
The organisation has not named the bank, citing legal reasons, but spokesperson Erik Edman said the account was held in Belgium.
“We asked the bank for an explanation and requested an extension,” he told Novara Media. “It declined to explain its decision and refused the extension.”
He said DiEM25 was unable to confirm “whether its decision was politically motivated”.
However, he added, “through conversations with other organisations in Belgium, we have heard accounts suggesting a worrying pattern in which progressive political organisations appear to have been disproportionately affected by debanking.”
The bank account was where DiEM25 supporters had been sending small monthly donations. Edman said it has two staff members and an office in Belgium and is at risk of being unable to pay salaries, social security contributions and rent there.
The group has started an emergency fundraiser to cover its immediate costs and says it is looking for a new bank in Belgium.
“Why did they do it?” Varoufakis, who is also DiEM25’s secretary general, said in a video statement. “You may say [it’s because] we are insufficiently supportive of the oligarchy, of genocide… but of course we couldn’t possibly comment.”
Varoufakis served as an MP for DiEM25’s Greek offshoot, Mera25, between 2019 and 2023. He founded DiEM25 with Croatian philosopher and political activist Srećko Horvat in 2016. The 192,000-member organisation also has parties in Germany, Italy and the Netherlands.
In February, Varoufakis was indicted in Greece after saying on a podcast that he had taken ecstasy over 36 years ago in Australia. Mera25 described the prosecution as politically motivated, saying Greece's judiciary was going after “whoever refuses to bend the knee”.

Here is the Covid debate in a nutshell....
On one side you have "Covid is dangerous" backed by 500,000 peer reviewed publications showing the damage Covid causes, coupled with the reality that more people are sick more often, for longer, more severely.
On the other side you have, "Covid is mild", backed by, "the government said so", with zero proof, publications, or even real world evidence to show it to be true.
There really is no debate, it's just facts vs fiction at this point, and the fiction is winning because its less work and more comfortable.
Policy should match the reality.
