“Taking our money to give to other countries for heat and lights, when Canadians can’t afford it either. This is treasonous! Uncover the money laundering!”

Canada, why does Justin Trudeau pledge alliance to the Queen of England and her defective genetic mutants? Yes, I know the answer, but it does not mean I accept it.
At the time he spoke these words, and betrayed Canada, we were too happy to get rid of troglodyte Harper to notice. The honeymoon is over. Who are you pledging your alliance to Justin?
This is in response to the blog post, “Over 4000 Migrants have drowned in the Mediterranean this Year”
It is a harsh response and I’m not apologizing for it because this point needs to be made.
Of course my heart goes out to these refugees, and I feel my own frustration, and anger. But deep down, as a student of history I’m reminded of those incredibly brave Russians who stuck it out in Stalingrad against the German onslaught and heroically held on against all odds, suffering unimaginable horrors throughout an unusually harsh winter. They didn’t run. So many didn’t run, they stood up to their would be conquerors and fought back by every means the human mind can conjure up. How many people remember these people were offered a chance to escape, to withdraw deep into the wilds of Siberia. They chose to stand and fight, men, women and children… mostly women and children!
It happened in Greece, in Italy, basically throughout Europe as it had happened in Spain during the Spanish civil war which the Fascists and Nazis won only because of overwhelming force garnered from arms and support received (as in the case of IS and other terror groups now in the Middle East) from the American military industrial complex.
My own parents in the French Resistance during WWII didn’t attempt to flee to England though they lived on the coast with a very narrow channel between them and freedom, and they were fisher folk with access to boats: they held their ground and fought back. That’s how people were “made” in those pre-boomer, entitlement years.
Isn’t that what you would do if groups of nut jobs invaded your country and began to systematically spread terror among your own people, perhaps even taking your daughters, lovers, wives as sex slaves, burning your homes, forcing your sons into their madness as suicide bombers, torturing and killing your neighbours? Tell me that you wouldn’t fight back, even if it meant using broken shards of glass, throwing rocks or ripping their faces off with your bare hands! I certainly know I would, tooth and nail, as there always comes that time when a certain kind of vile violence can only be countered with same because THERE IS NO LONGER A CHOICE. Either you oppose them, or you become like them. Is the word, “freedom” just another politically correct term now?
What’s wrong with these people that they can’t stand and fight for themselves but can only think of running to hopefully save their own skins? I don’t get this. Has the human race so quickly become dis-empowered, turned into cattle, as were the Jews in Nazi Germany, meekly and silently walking to their slavery and death in concentration camps without making any attempt to help themselves? When you know you are going to die regardless, why whimper into it? That’s just not normal, nor natural! What’s wrong with these people that they can only rely on power groups for their survival? Don’t they have a life, that innate rage to live free?
But it isn’t just Syrians. Look how few people are standing boldly against the DAPL predators and their government armed supporters when the entire nation of free individuals should be standing with them, either at Standing Rock or in front of every capitol, every corporate HQ’s and every bank that funds the “Damn All Pipe Lines” monstrosity.
There is a connection throughout these current events clearly showing that people in general have become mindless cowards, thralls on their way to abysmal slavery to State and Banksterism. There is no more stand and fight, only run for your life. Is that THE sign that humanity knows it’s doomed already and has no heart left, sees no point in fighting back against oppression and oppressors everywhere?
Perhaps T.S. Eliot said it best in his poem, The Hollow Men, “This is the way the world ends Not with a bang but a whimper.”
Gerald Celente-2017 Predictions-MSM Gone and Financial Market Panic Coming
36 minutes of a fascinating and information-crammed interview of Gerald Celente by Greg Hunter. Some truths simply need to be told, and heard, then pondered. I know, if you read the title you could be forgiven for going, oh boy, more panic-inducing prognostications meant to titillate then quickly forgotten so I can swallow another bottle of the stuff later.
I have spent the 40 minutes listening to this video and I found it well worth my time. I’ve said similar things about Obama, for example, years ago but the mood was still swinging towards the smooth talking vampire with his aura of cosmopolitanism and multiculturalism and as for his war crimes, well, what war crimes? He was our boy, right? Turns out he was the banksters, globalists, corportists and militarists’ boy. But this video isn’t all about Trump or Hitleray (as Celente calls her, I prefer Killer Ray, it has a nice science fiction ring to it which Alex Jones (!) would probably pounce on if he heard it. OK, how about watching? It’ll save you from a half hour of TV, bonus!
So we buy Chinese crap from Wall-Mart, pay the employees debt-slavery wages, and when some of the Chinese get rich on this unsavory alliance they buy our homes and the average North American ends up living in his car? Sounds fair. Thank goodness for our leaders. Not.
Source: Chinese pour $110bn into US real estate, says study | Business | The Guardian
Monday 16 May 2016
Investment is set to double in the next five years as wealthy rush to get their money into overseas assets, especially houses
Chinese nationals have become the largest foreign buyers of US property after pouring billions into the market in search of safe offshore assets, according to a study.
A huge surge in Chinese buying of both residential and commercial real estate last year took their five-year investment total to more than $110bn, according to the study from the Asia Society and Rosen Consulting Group.
The sheer size of that total has helped the real estate market recover from the crash that began in 2006 and precipitated the 2008 economic crisis, they said.
Chinese investment in property has also helped to inflate prices in other developed countries, notably the UK and Australia in the wake of the dip in world stock markets in 2015.
And despite a slowdown due to Beijing’s subsequent clampdown on capital outflows, the figure for the second half of this decade is likely to double to $218bn, the study said.
“What makes China different and noteworthy is the combination of the high volume of investment (and) the breadth of its participation across all real estate categories,” including a “somewhat unique entry into residential purchases,” the study said.
The authors of the study said their numbers, based on public and real estate industry data, understate the total. They necessarily miss purchases made by front companies and trusts that do not identify the sources of the funds.
Big deals such as the Anbang insurance group’s $2bn purchase of the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York last year and its failed $14bn offer for the Starwood group in March have made headlines. But the study said Chinese buying of US homes far outpaces its investment in commercial land and buildings.
Between 2010 and 2015, Chinese buyers put more than $17bn into US commercial real estate, with half of that spent last year alone. Unlike many countries, there are very few restrictions on what foreigners can buy in the US.
But during the same period at least $93bn went into US homes. And in the 12 months to March 2015, the latest period for which relatively comprehensive data could be gathered, home purchases totaled $28.5bn.
That took the Chinese past Canadians, who have long been the biggest foreign buyers of US residential real estate.
Geographically, Chinese buyers are concentrated in the most expensive markets: New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Seattle. Property in Chicago, Miami and Las Vegas is also popular.
That focus means they pay well above the average US home price: last year, Chinese buyers paid on average about $832,000 per home in the United States, compared with the average for all foreign purchases of $499,600.
The motivations are broad: some are buying second homes, some are buying as they move to the United States on EB-5 investor visas; some are investing for rental and resale.
Most of the money in US homes, the study noted, is private wealth, not corporate.
“This familiarity of utilizing real estate as an investment or wealth preservation tool is more prevalent in China and reflects the broader comfort of purchasing second homes in the United States by Chinese individuals and families,” the study noted.
Governments should not hide secrets from their citizens. This whole farce was doomed from the beginning. Now is the time for us all to make certain our representatives know we are not amused by this secret deal that obviously was written by corporate entities. Shame on all those who signed this in the first place. Do tell us now who you were representing again?
Are you listening Justin Trudeau? We are not amused or impressed with this one. We do forgive you, as the cave dweller who had your job before is the culpable one. Now do what is right and fight for Canada, not the foreign masters of the universe. Send this idea to the shredder.
The secret documents represent roughly two-thirds of the latest negotiating text, and in several cases expose for the first time the position of the U.S.

Confirming that the TransAtlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) amounts to “a huge transfer of power from people to big business,” Greenpeace Netherlands on Monday leaked 248 secret pages of the controversial trade deal between the U.S. and EU, exposing how environmental regulations, climate protections, and consumer rights are being “bartered away behind closed doors.”
The documents represent roughly two-thirds of the latest negotiating text, according to Greenpeace, and on some topics offer for the first time the position of the United States.
“Total secrecy was the only way the European Commission could keep the European people from learning the truth about these appalling negotiations, and now the cat is out of the bag.”
—John Hilary, War on Want
Before Monday, elected representatives were only able to view such documents under guard, in a secure room, without access to expert consultation, while being forbidden from discussing the content with anyone else. This secrecy runs “counter to the democratic principles of both the EU and the U.S.,” the website ttip-leaks.org declares.
And in the absence of transparency, “hard won environmental progress is being bartered away behind closed doors,” said Faiza Oulahsen, campaigner for Greenpeace Netherlands.
“Whether you care about environmental issues, animal welfare, labor rights or internet privacy, you should be concerned about what is in these leaked documents,” Oulahsen said. “They underline the strong objections civil society and millions of people around the world have voiced: TTIP is about a huge transfer of democratic power from people to big business. We call on all elected representative and other concerned parties to read these documents and engage in the debate.”
Greenpeace Netherlands zeroes in on four aspects of serious concern in the obtained texts, including:
According to the Guardian, which saw the original documents (retyped by Greenpeace and available here):
U.S. proposals include an obligation on the EU to inform its industries of any planned regulations in advance, and to allow them the same input into EU regulatory processes as European firms.
American firms could influence the content of EU laws at several points along the regulatory line, including through a plethora of proposed technical working groups and committees.
“These leaks confirm what millions of people across Europe have suspected all along—that this toxic trade deal is essentially an enormous corporate power grab,” said Global Justice Now trade campaigner Guy Taylor on Monday.
“It’s no secret that the negotiations have been on increasingly shaky ground,” Taylor continued, citing petitions signed by millions of Europeans and ongoing public protests. “These leaks should be seen as another nail in the coffin of a toxic trade deal that corporate power is unsuccessfully trying to impose on ordinary people and our democracies.”
Similarly, War on Want executive director John Hilary declared: “Today marks the end of TTIP. Total secrecy was the only way the European Commission could keep the European people from learning the truth about these appalling negotiations, and now the cat is out of the bag.”
“We have long warned that TTIP is a danger to democracy, food safety, jobs and public services,” Hilary continued. “Now we see it is even worse than we feared. Today’s leak shows the European Commission preparing to sell us down the river, doing deals behind closed doors that will change the face of European society for ever. It is simply unacceptable that a group of unelected officials should be allowed to contemplate such a thing without any public scrutiny.”
The 13th round of TTIP talks took place last week in New York. U.S. President Barack Obama, who was stumping for the deal last month in Germany, had hoped to wrap up negotiations by the time he left office—a timeline that looks increasingly unrealistic.
Public support on both sides of the Atlantic has plummeted; leading U.S. presidential candidates oppose the deal and others like it; and President François Hollande on Sunday became just the latest French official to express skepticism about the deal.
Ask yourselves why this scumbag is not being prosecuted for treason?

Apparently it only costs $1 million to bribe Republican Tom Cotton to sabotage the globally-important Iran Nuclear Deal, and it can even be a nation fraught with tension with America that’s offering the money. In a shady maneuver, Cotton accepted nearly $1M from the Emergency Committee for Israel and agreed to be the face of the opposition against the Iran Nuclear Deal.
Cotton has been known for his opposition to the deal and his pro-Israel actions, and now we know why. Wiretaps revealed that, “Mr. Netanyahu and his advisers had leaked details of the US-Iran negotiations—learned through Israeli spying operations—to undermine the talks; coordinated talking points with Jewish-American groups against the deal; and asked undecided lawmakers what it would take to win their votes, according to current and former officials familiar with the intercepts.” This information came from the Wall Street Journal report that discussed the surprising find while wiretapping Israelis.
Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel, and his top aides were recorded when meeting with members of Congress and Jewish-American groups and reportedly leaked information about the nuclear deal to convince those present to oppose the deal. The meeting included Israeli leaders asking the members of Congress, “How can we get your vote? What’s it going to take?”

The Emergency Committee for Israel donated the $1M to Cotton’s campaign, knowing he was an Israeli sympathizer. Shortly after taking office in March 2015, Cotton penned an open letter to Iran, signed by 47 other Republican lawmakers, warning them that even if a deal were agreed on, a Republican president would not uphold the deal. This was meant to encourage Iran to back out of the deal, but instead it backfired on Cotton and the signees as some contemplated prosecuting them under the Logan Act. The Logan Act states that no unauthorized U.S. citizen may negotiate with foreign nations while the U.S. is in dispute with them. At the time, negotiations were still underway with Iran.
Not only were Cotton and the other 47 Republicans not prosecuted, but Cotton has gone on to undermine America in favor of Israel by seeking to kiss the ring of Netanyahu during a visit to Israel in August 2015 and pledging allegiance to Israel and its Prime Minister. Cotton stated, “Today’s meeting only reaffirms my opposition to this deal. I will stand with Prime Minister Netanyahu and Israel and work with my colleagues in Congress to stop this deal and to ensure that Israel has the means to defend itself against Iran and its terrorist surrogates.”
Tom Cotton’s actions border along treason, as he openly has sided with another nation’s leader over America’s president and government for whom he works for. His acceptance of foreign donation money that influenced his decision to oppose the nuclear deal is unconstitutional and America should keep a close eye on him.
What do you think? Is Tom Cotton’s acceptance of donation money and his speaking out against America legal?
