Historical Overview

© MMVIII v1.0.8

Skulduggery has always been the order of business whenever money and power are at stake, so what people are doing today is not new. Power corrupts; Absolute power corrupts absolutely. (Lord Acton)

Starting current history with the victory in the Seven Years' War (1756-63) of Great Britain (so-named by James I at his coronation in 1603 at the beginning of the seventeenth century), we see this: the world war established, in the eighteenth century, Great Britain as the preeminent word power by removing France as a rival to the world-wide British Empire. The loss of the 13 Colonies twenty years later (1783) can be viewed as a mere branching of the Anglo-American empire. In the nineteenth century, these two houses of Anglo-America both increased in size and power. The twentieth century was mostly about shifting power from London to Washington, everything else — including two world wars and hundreds of millions killed — was incidental to that main outcome. This was by design. In world affairs, there are few accidents.[1] Canadians have a uniquely sanguine view of the British Empire because Canadians (outside Québec) were treated well enough by the British and they were protected by Imperial membership from the Americans. But the British Empire was not so kind to other peoples as an honest look at the record reveals starkly. The twentieth century was about the rise of the United States of America and the destruction of the Old Order: All TWELVE EMPIRES [2] were wiped away, including the British Empire. Only the American Empire (which has never thought of itself as an empire) was left in 1945. But, oddly enough, at the very moment the monster was supposed to become omnipotent, it became impotent. That was precisely when the U.S.A. dropped two (just to make sure) atom bombs on Japan. The Anglo-American empire (that's us) has not won a war in the sixty-three years since — despite having spent trillions of dollars on "defence" while lording supremacy over everyone else (in a benign and friendly way, of course). After 250 years, as the twenty-first century begins, Anglo-American hegemony appears to be over. Concentration of money and power has reversed as capital flows away from the United States toward the Third World, especially to China and India. But that is not all. State-level military power is worth less and less, even as the United States bankrupts itself with military spending and more fruitless wars. A new Age is dawning. It sure does look that way.

What will happen? Prediction is very difficult, especially if it involves the future. (Niels Bohr)

[1] The most clever people, who usually have at their command vast resources, are invariably engaged in international schemes, plots and, yes, conspiracies. They are always playing with fire and, as smart as they might be, they don't always know what is going to happen. Disasters they create cannot be called accidents — deliberate harm is intended through deliberate actions. Oops, sometimes unintended people are harmed. Oops, sometimes the schemers don't get what they expected. (Accident: an unfortunate incident that happens unexpectedly and unintentionally.)

[2] TWELVE EMPIRES were wiped away in the 20th century

1. British Empire
2. Chinese Empire
3. Empire of Japan
4. Russian Empire
5. German Empire
6. Austro-Hungarian Empire
7. Dutch Empire
8. Spanish Empire
9. Belgian Empire
10. Ottoman Empire and the Caliphate
11. French Empire
12. Portuguese Empire

The 1,000-year-old Holy Roman Empire had been destroyed by Napoleon and was reorganized as Imperial Germany (Hohenzollern dynasty) and Austria-Hungary (Habsburg dynasty). Belgium was created after the Napoleonic Wars. The Soviet Union proved to be a useful foil for the United States especially after 1945.

Nancy Pelosi on China on Tibet

Dear Nancy Pelosi,

Your statement on China and Tibet?


Talk about the kettle calling the pot black. China should certainly get out of Tibet. Of course. But are you unaware of the recent invasion and on-going destruction of Iraq by the United States and "its allies". Do you not know what the United States and Great Britain were doing throughout the 20th century? Here is a clue, they were not making the world safe for human rights and democracy. Are you unaware of the Anglo-American record in China? Do you not know about the British record in India? You should definitely urge the Chinese to get out of Tibet. The Chinese have an opportunity to set the world on a new course for the 21st century. They could do humanity a service. You could do humanity a service too. Get out of Iraq. Get out of Palestine. Get out of Afghanistan. Yankee Go Home. Remember that phrase?

Please!

Military Spending

© MMVIII v 1.0.1

This handy table [1] shows military spending around the world. According to this table the U.S.A. spends more than everybody else combined. The U.S.A. spends ($623 billion) almost ten times as much as the next biggest spender, China ($65.0 billion). What the allies of the U.S. spend should be added to the U.S. total because they get foreign aid to buy matériel from U.S. contractors. That would include such countries as Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Canada. The list is actually quite long because companies like Boeing and Lockheed-Martin need help to stay in business.

The Chinese currently have money to spend on their military because they are selling vast quantities of manufactured goods to Americans (and Europeans too, of course). American consumers are actually paying for the Red Chinese military. The Red Chinese are buying Washington's debt because they are not buying American products. They have to buy something American with those American dollars or they have to sell them to someone else who eventually will buy something American. That is how foreign exchange works.

The Japanese — who have for decades been one turn of a screwdriver away from having a large nuclear arsenal — have been buying American debt since 1945. The Japanese have a mountain of U.S. debt that is at least ten times as large as China's mountain of U.S. debt. After sixty-three years of one-way trade with Americans, the Japanese have a mountain range of U.S. debt and dollar bills.

The vicious communist régime in North Korea — which Washington uses to terrify the American people and justify the defence that the Pentagon provides — is spending $5.0 billion a year. That is 5/623 = 1/124.6 of U.S. spending or 0.80%.

Iran — which is such a serious threat to Americans that it may soon be bombed, invaded and destroyed in self defence — spends $4.3 billion. That is 4.3/623 = 1/145 of U.S. spending or 0.69%

Cuba — which has posed a mortal threat to the U.S.A since the wicked Castro took over 50 years ago — spends $694 million. That is 1/894 of U.S. spending or 0.11%

This is no laughing matter: The U.S.A. and it's allies have not won a war since 1945, despite having spent trillions to defend America and the Free World. Even more alarming, Israel spends $9.4 billion a year to defend Israelis from Palestinians — who have, themselves, only a few hundred bucks to spend annually on defence.

The forces that are defending civilization and freedom are clearly at a disadvantage. If nothing changes all the wealth of the world will soon be tossed into the furnace of military spending to ensure that the world survives AND WE WILL BE NO SAFER THAN WE ARE NOW. Can we allow this to go on any longer? How will we survive if it does???

"But, but, but, didn't we win the Cold War?"

"Remember all those wars that we didn't win? They were the Cold War."

Consider this: This has all been a colossal waste of time, money and lives that was worth ZERO.

Presidential Elections

© MMVIII

Once I was mighty impressed with U.S. Presidential Elections. I was impressed with American politics in general. Things have changed. This year, Clinton, McCain and Obama look like three pigs under a blanket, fighting over an acorn.

My age of innocence is over. Sad, really. That darn Bush. Now the whole political edifice in the Land of the Free looks tawdry and cheap. Once lost, innocence can never be regained. Thanks for the education, George.

So long!

Cholesterol Hoax

© MMVIII 1.1.0

"Cholesterol" is a hoax.

VISIT SUE! Statins! and join the list!

This is my case:

I took Zocor for 76 months. From the first day, I suffered from every symptom Merck lists in its product monographs, and some that do not appear, such as mental incapacity. My doctor (John N. Alport) lied to me and ignored my complaints for 48 months but he did double the dose and prescribe an antidepressant. Alport also engaged my pharmacist, Dean Ast, in a scheme to conceal evidence. After a second doctor (J.S. McMillan, M.D.) had diagnosed me with chronic pain (fibromyalgia), Alport prescribed pain killers and more antidepressants for the next 28 months. During that period, I had over a hundred referrals for pain after Alport admitted I was in pain. Then, I stopped taking Zocor and all other medication for 21 months after a prolotherapy treatment by a third doctor. (F.T. Cenaiko, M.D.) I recovered only partially but I was much better thanks to him. Next, a fourth doctor (F. C. Annandale, M.D.) prescribed Lipitor after he bought Alport's practice and acquired me as a patient. My symptoms returned. Like Alport, Annandale laughed off my complaints of pain. Four months later I was in a coma. It has taken me OVER FIFTEEN YEARS to recover from what John N. Alport began in January 1992 to start my new year — and my new life as a "disabled person".

Today, I am doing great, thanks to proper diet, exercise, the right supplements, and many good people who helped me (including over 30 doctors, pharmacists, herbalists and therapists). I may live another sixty years. My cholesterol is 365 (9.5). Everything else (blood pressure, homocysteine, clotting factor, family history, etc.) is better than normal, as it was all along. The Wrath of God should descend on the pharmaceutical companies who are selling statin drugs and smite their accomplices in the medical profession who prescribe this poison. Medical oversight should do something about nitwits, numbskulls and nincompoops like John N. Alport. Unsuited to practice "family medicine", Alport now goes to court to pursue his career as a professional liar so insurance companies like SGI can weasel out of their obligations. Honest people know what to think about them and about the courts in Saskatchewan which are a farce.

Unfortunately, knuckleheads and criminals are protected in Canada by the outlaw CMPA and organized medicine — these people are just like the Mafia, only they are worse because they are the Establishment.

BE WARNED!

Cholesterol is an essential part of your body. It makes strong the wall of every cell in your body (including muscles, nerves, joints, blood vessels, brain). Your cells break down without cholesterol. (Rhabdomyolysis) Cholesterol in your blood has nothing to do with so-called "plaque" that may be found within the wall structure of your arteries (arteriosclerosis). Eliminating cholesterol in your blood will not remove that "plaque" (if it exists) or provide any other benefits, except for enriching some pharmaceutical company. Reducing your cholesterol will not prevent heart attacks or save your life. Tell your doctor, "No thanks," or just ignore him if he gets pushy. Find another doctor. Look for other ways to become healthier.

Divide and Conquer

© MMVIII v1.0.0

A South politician preaches to the poor white man,
"You got more than the blacks,
don't complain.
You're better than them,
you been born with white skin,"
they explain.
And the Negro's name
Is used it is plain
For the politician's gain
As he rises to fame
And the poor white remains
On the caboose of the train
But it ain't him to blame
He's only a pawn in their game.

- Bob Dylan (Only a Pawn in Their Game)

We got the idea that the majority rules from eighteenth century political philosophers, like Smith and Locke. How could it be otherwise? There are more of us than them. But, sadly, that has never been the case and it is not the case today. Tiny élites rule the mass of humanity. They use various devices, including the cultivation of the notion that they possess superior knowledge. They often have managed to get people to believe that they alone speak to God, Himself. They have sometimes managed to get the mass to believe that they, themselves, are gods.

Elites typically turn elements of the mass against each other. That keeps them fighting each other so they don't unite to throw off their oppressor. Today the invaders of Iraq (that's us) continue to foment strife between Sunnis and Shiites and Kurds. The British and Americans played this game throughout the 20th century in Iraq.

In colonial America, laws were passed making it mandatory for planters to carry guns to church on Sunday. Planters lived in mortal fear that their black slaves would unite with their white slaves to get rid of the planters. Yes, there were white slaves. They were expected to do this on a Sunday when everyone was in church. The equation didn't change after whites became free: whites became "hillbillies" and "white trash" and "whitey" and "honky" and "cracker". They were despised by blacks whom whites could continue to hate. Whites longed to be as respectable as the élite which despised them more than the blacks despised them. Ironically both whites and blacks joined the élite to fight the Union when The South was invaded during the Civil War. Then they went back to hating each other, which helped the Union occupation called "Reconstruction".

Hate is handy. Divide and conquer. It's an old game.

The American Revolution

© MMVIII v 1.0.1

I am becoming persuaded that Thomas Paine was a propagandist imported from England to put the gloss of Liberty on the American Revolution. That would have been necessary to give the yeomen the idea that they would benefit so they would support the revolution. Only about a third did, apparently, and a third supported Great Britain, and a third were indifferent. Thomas Paine is considered to be one of the founders. But he did not sign the Declaration of Independence because he was not a member of the Continental Congress. (The official story is that Paine was a Deist while the founders were staunch Christians.) Paine only arrived in America in 1774. He was not part of the club. He did not profit. He shared the fate of Dan'l Boone and the other yeomen Americans. George Washington and the gang went on to make stupendous profits. George, himself, led his army to put down in the Whiskey Rebellion the yeomen who objected to being robbed. They had gotten the idea that they were free. They weren't. The divide between the élite and everyone else persists to this day. For 232 years most people have believed the myth that Thomas Paine created for them. It is a noble myth that America should aspire to realizing.
