The American Media for Waste, Fraud, and Abuse

 

Trump Seeks End to US Instigated Ukraine War to Hurt Russia

Here's Canadian People's Party Leader and former Minister of External Affairs, Maxime Bernier, on the Ukraine tragedy:

The Americans and the Russians are finally talking to each other to end the war in Ukraine.

I said when that pointless war began almost 3 years ago that the West was shooting itself in the foot with sanctions against Russia that would backfire, that we were stupidly pushing the Russians in the arms of the Chinese, and that Russia would win in the end.

Three years later, all of this has come true, but tragically only after immense destruction and the loss of hundreds of thousands of lives.

If you listen to the media, they all repeat the globalist propaganda that this is a war of aggression started by Putin in 2022.



In fact, if was started by the murderous neoconservatives in the US and their NATO lapdogs in Ottawa and European capitals.

They are the ones who engineered the regime change in Ukraine in 2014, and who for years worked to encircle, provoke, and weaken Russia instead of developing friendly relations.

Fortunately, President Trump is going to make a deal with Putin to end this US proxy war against Russia.

Canada wasted $20 billion on that foolish foreign adventure. And it would have been even more if Pandering Pierre and his fake Conservatives had been in power. He said that Trudeau wasn’t doing enough!

The PPC was the only party that did not fall for the propaganda and advocated peace.

Canada's People's Party Years Ahead of Musk in Calling For an End to PC Government Waste

By Maxime Bernier

 Did you know that the Canadian government is spending $143,000 to help the African country of Senegal implement a “sectorial gender strategy” in its armed forces?

Or $46,793 to improve healthcare for intersex people in the Chinese province of Shandong?

What about $4,6 million to develop programs promoting a “positive masculinity” in Cuba?

There are hundreds of such crazy programs costing Canadian taxpayers billions of dollars every year to fund the Liberals’ woke ideology in other countries.

Many people on social media just found out that these programs exist last week, after they started looking for them on the website of the Government of Canada.

They were inspired by similar crazy programs that Elon Musk has unearthed with his DOGE team in Washington.

The DOGE – or Department of Government Efficiency – was created by president Trump and has already cut tens of billions of dollars in frivolous spending after only a few weeks.

I’m being asked if I support having the equivalent of a DOGE in Canada.

Not only do I support it, but I didn’t wait for Trump and Musk to do it to propose one. I did years ago!

In 2020, I stated that a PPC government would have a Minister of Government Downsizing to examine every federal program and cut or abolish everything that is inefficient, wasteful or not essential.

 A Fight to the Death Is Underway

Paul Craig Roberts

Some people will regard my title as hyperbole. It is not. Trump, I believe, understands he is in a fight to the death. The American establishment tried to discredit and ruin him, to imprison him, to assassinate him. They stole his 2020 reelection from him. They tried to steal his NY properties. It is not possible for Trump to have illusions about what he is up against. He is up against evil.

Trump knows that the fight is not just about him. It is about America. For decades a corrupt American establishment has been running the government for their benefit at the expense of the American people. Trump says he intends to take government out of the corrupt establishment’s hands and put it back in the hands of the people. That is the last place the establishment wants it. For them the struggle Trump began in 2015 is existential.

Trump's Great Idea

The average tariff on imports to the United States during the 19th and early 20th century was around 33% on manufacted goods. US imports continued to be taxed from the end of the First World War unti 1942 when the US adopted a policy of free trade. Until the beginning of the 21st Century US industrial production continued its exponential growth, but has since flatlined. 

The reason for this pattern is simply that the second world war devastated the economy of every major American competitor, namely, Germany, France, Britain, Italy and Japan. But those countries have long since recovered from the ravages of war, while China, India, South Korea, Indonesia and many other countries have rapidly industrialized to provide the Western nations with massive cheap-labor economic competition.

Trump's big idea? To restore a tariff wall on manufactured goods. The consequence? Companies now exporting to the US from cheap labor countries such as China, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, and Bangladesh will establish manufacturing facilities inside the US tariff wall. The price of goods no longer made by sweatshop workers in Bangladesh, Vietnam or wherever will be much higher. But then American workers will have plentiful high wage job opportunities in manufacturing. Just as in the good old 1950s. 

Sounds great. Even better would be to invite Canada to join within a shared tariff wall. As an abbreviation MNAGA does not make for a great slogan, but, if adopted, it would make all of North America great again. 

Trump's Other Good Idea

DOGE announces more than $1B in savings after canceling 104 federal DEI contracts

Trump As Hitler

 As Karl Marx wrote, "history repeats, first as tragedy, then as farce."

Confirming this, we have just witnessed  President Trump's attempted emulation of Hitler's 1938 Anschluss, or annexation, of a neighboring state. 

In Hitler's case the neighbor, Austria, was a mere one eighth the size of Germany. Trump, in comparison, has displayed far grander ambition. He seeks to acquire Canada, a territory larger even than the United States itself, and more than 100 times larger than the Austrian territory occupied by Hitler's Germany. 

Oh, and while he's about it, Trump demands control of Greenland, with its abundance of ice, oil and fish and an area 25 times that of Austria. Plus he intends to take back the Panama canal. 

As yet, no one seems to be taking Trump entirely seriously. Still I worry. Canada is not a perfect society -- far from it. Still after more than sixty years since arriving in my early twenties, I'm used to it and would hate to see it become merely a rather cool part of the United States of Aggression.

Granddaughter of a pro-Nazi Newspaper Editor, Seeks to Lead Canada

 Chrystia Freeland’s family connections to Ukrainian Nazis revolve around her maternal grandfather, ‘Michael’ Mykhailo Chomiak.

Chomiak was an editor of a Ukrainian-language Nazi propaganda newspaper called Krakivski Visti, published in Nazi-occupied Poland and later in Austria. It promoted anti-Semitic views and supported the German war effort against Jews and other groups.

Like so many other Ukrainian Nazis, Chomiak immigrated to Canada, where he reportedly became a ‘prominent member’ of the Ukrainian Canadian community. Source

But then Freeland is probably no more Fascistic than Justin Trudeau, the man who liked to wear blackface and wear a Nazi uniform. Fortunately, it probably won't matter who leads the "Liberal" Party of Canada during the next few years as it is not likely to regain power anytime soon, if ever.

Sticks and stones may break my bones

But words shall never hurt me

An old English saying

I learnt those words at my mother's knee around seventy-five years ago. My mother, born in 1911, was raised on a farm. Folks were evidently harder-headed in those days, country folk, anyhow. Perhaps because, for most, life was harder then than it is today. My mother left school at 13 to earn a living. She took a job, arranged by a rich aunt, to work as a cashier at William Whiteley's department store in London's West End.

The Rise in Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Concentration Is No Delusion. And It Matters

 Below, I have reproduced, copied, copyright-stolen, whatever, part of an editorial by Wall Street Journal opinion columnist Holman Jenkins, Jr. in which he suggests that efforts to limit, human-caused  increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration are basically pointless. 

True, efforts to limit human-caused increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration are effective only to the extent that they are designed in such a way as to be effective. But limiting the rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration is not impossible. Here's one way that would work. 

Impose a carbon capture charge (CCC) on everything the production or use of which results in the release of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Then use the revenue generated to capture atmospheric carbon dioxide and sequester it underground or convert it to mineral form.

So what of the cost? The lowest estimate of the cost of large scale direct air capture and sequestration of carbon dioxide is around US$100 per ton, or 10 Cents per kilogram. That means a carbon capture charge for gasoline, for example, would be US$0.23 per litre or US$0.89 per US Gallon.  

Other products, meat, wool, cotton, lumber, etc., mostly generate less carbon per kilogram consumed than gasoline, or other fuels, including natural gas, diesel, and coal. What that means is that most or all human caused atmospheric carbon dioxide emissions could be recaptured without bankrupting the world. 

How would governments deploy CCC revenue to achieve sequestration of human-caused carbon dioxide emissions? By inviting tenders and placing contracts with multiple bidders. In this way a variety of technologies could be evaluated at scale, until the best methods are identified and deployed. 

Simple, really. So no need for Homan Jenkins of the Wall Street Journal to shrug off the problem of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide. A clear and simple path exists that allows mankind to end the transformation of the chemical composition of the air we breath. 

True, not all governments will adopt such a program at once. But for those who take the lead, the cost of free riders can be eliminated by applying a carbon capture charge to goods from countries that fail to impose their own carbon capture charge, or other means to eliminate net carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere. The charge on imports could then be applied to the capture and sequestration of carbon dioxide, as with the carbon capture charge imposed on domestic goods and services.

End of a Climate Delusion

By Holman W. Jenkins, Jr.

Wall Street Journal, January 15, 2025:  Carbon dioxide, or CO2, emitted into the atmosphere is rapidly and, for all practical purposes, uniformly distributed around the planet.

I may be stating the obvious but it needs to be pointed out. Voters and even political leaders are surprisingly poorly informed on this point. Emissions cuts in California don’t have any significant effect on California’s climate. They also have no global effect. California’s cuts are too small relative to the global whole; they also are largely illusory.

Emitting industries leave the state. They don’t stop emitting. If California imports Canadian hydro to charge its electric vehicles, consumers elsewhere have to burn more coal and gas. If Californians drive EVs, more gasoline is free to be burned by others, releasing more CO2 that influences climate change in California and everywhere else.

Green-energy subsidies do not reduce emissions. This will be news to millions of California voters. It contradicts a central tenet of state policy. It isn’t news to the actual enactors of these subsidies. A National Research Council study sponsored by congressional Democrats in 2008 concluded that such handouts were a “poor tool for reducing greenhouse gases” and called for carbon taxes instead.

Unfortunately, the incoming Obama administration quickly discovered it favored climate taxes only when Republicans were in charge. Backers would later engage in flagrant lying to promote Joe Biden’s Inflation Reduction Act, knowingly citing bogus predictions that its trillion-dollar spending profusion would reduce emissions.

A 2019 University of Oregon study had already revealed the empirical truth: Green energy doesn’t replace fossil fuels, it enables more energy consumption overall. That same year the EPA calculated that the potential emissions savings from subsidizing electric vehicles had been offset five times over by the pickup truck and SUV boom Team Obama facilitated to assure the success of its auto bailout.

Last year, the premier journal Science put a nail in the question: 96% of policies supported worldwide as “reducing” emissions failed to do so, consisting mostly of handouts to green-energy interests.

Of whom

6610 were from abroad

Migrants to Canada in 2024 included 471,771 permanent residents, adding 1.08% to the population

Canada's fertility rate in 2024 was 1.483 births per woman, the lowest ever recorded

The population replacement fertility rate is 2.1 births per woman

Canada is a dying nation, continually replacing its population with people from elsewhere

Sharply reducing the influx from elsewhere would give Canadians couples a better shot at finding affordable housing while they are still young and optimistic enough to have two, three, maybe even four, or five, or more kids. 

But for that we need intelligent political leadership which has been sadly lacking during the Trudeau years. Will the Poilievre Tories do better? If so, they will have to slow the influx of migrants to boost housing availability at affordable prices, and to reduce labor availability so as to drive up wages.

There are plenty of big, rich, powerful interests that will push back against any such changes. The transition required will be a true test of Poilievre's metal. 

As for the migrants to Canada, yes, for the most part, they are good people. But it is national suicide to pursue the Trudeau's policy of ever higher immigration rates that are driving the historic Canadian nation to extinction.

Why Elon Musk Loves Britain But Hates Keir Starmer, by David Starkey

Or to summarize: Musk champions Britain, or at least Britain's tradition of democratic freedom, because that is what gave rise to the world of incredible opportunity that Musk found on migrating to the US from South Africa (via Canada). That seems likely. And if so, it explains Musk's apparent intent to undermine Starmer who he must regard as a reactionary threat to the cultural tradition that, since the 1600s, has made Britain a transformational force throughout the World

Canadian Commandos Slaughtered in Ukraine

Why is Canada's participation in the Ukraine war never discussed in either Parliament or the national media?

Short answer: because democracy in Canada is a fraud. Or as remarked by British Prime Minister, David Lloyd George during the course of World War 1:

"If people really knew what is happening on the battlefield, the war would be stopped tomorrow. But of course they don't know, and can't know. The correspondents don't write and the censorship wouldn't pass the truth. What they do send is not the war, but just a pretty picture of the war with everybody doing gallant deeds. The thing is horrible and beyond human nature to bear and I feel I can't go on with this bloody business."

Needless to say, Lloyd George went on quite happily with the bloody business, remaining Prime Minister for as long as he could, as is the case with our very own wartime leader, Justin Trudeau whose multiple financial contributions on your and my behalf helps finance the ongoing bloody business in Ukraine.

Robert Jenrick, UK Conservative Shadow Justice Minister: Britain's Unpunished Rape Gangs & Their Enablers

To sustain order in multicultural Britain, the state considered it necessary to apply the law selectively.

For decades the most appalling crimes from predominantly British-Pakistani men were legalised and actively covered up to prevent disorder.

The rule of law was abandoned to sustain the myth that diversity is our strength, destroying the lives of thousands of vulnerable white working class girls in the process.

This appalling affair is the final nail in the coffin for liberals who still cling to the argument that Britain is an integration success story.

The scandal started with the onset of mass migration. Importing hundreds of thousands of people from alien cultures, who possess medieval attitudes towards women, brought us here. And after 30 years of this disastrous experiment, we now have entrenched sectarian voting blocs that make it electoral suicide for some MPs to confront this. This scandal shows why we must end it.

The foreign nationals responsible must be deported - no ifs, no buts. And the officials that covered up must be sent to jail for their appalling cowardice.

Even that won’t be enough for the victims.

In Politics There Are No Friends

Nigel Farage, founder of Britain's booming Reform Party, has called both Donald Trump and Elon Musk his friends. Moreover both Donald Trump and his leg man, Elon Musk, have spoken highly of Farage -- that is, until suddenly, they no longer do. Why the change in attitude? Evidently because Trump has decided to back Britain's Conservative Government, aka the Tories, not Farage's upstart Reformers, this despite the Reform Party having achieved parity in public support with the Tories.

Why has Trump abandoned his "friend" Farage? Probably because he sees Britain's Conservative Party making a comeback under the leadership of the feisty, pure Nigerian blooded, Kemi Badenock, daughter of a Nigerian political elite mother who flew to Britain a day before giving birth so that her child would have British birthright citizenship.

Kemi Badenock, born as Olukemi (later shortened to Kemi) Olufunto Adegoke, is certainly an impressive personality and a formidable opponent of Saint Keir Sanctimonious, leader of the British Government. More formidable, so Donald Trump has evidently concluded, than Nigel Farage, who now has reason to reflect on the truth of a remark by David Lloyd George, Britain's First-World-War Prime Minister: "In politics there are no friends."

Dutch MP: ‘Population Replacement In the Netherlands is a Fact’ Also in Canada Britain and Across the West

"Without decisive action," to stem the flood of immigrants, claims Netherlands Parliamentarian, Gideon van Meijeren, "we will witness the erasure of our heritage and the dissolution of our communities."

During the Asylum and Migration Budget Debate for 2025, van Meijeren delivered a searing critique of the Netherlands’ immigration policy, exposing its devastating societal and cultural impacts. Central to his speech was his use of the term “population replacement,” a phrase that has sparked intense debate and controversy in the parliament, with prior motions even attempting to ban its use*.

[*The attempted censorship confirms that the genocide of the Dutch people by mass immigration and suppression of the fertility of the indigenous population is deliberate, treasonous policy.]

Meijeren, while acknowledging the humanitarian responsibility to aid those fleeing violence, pointed to the obvious fact that uncontrolled immigration over decades had led to disastrous consequences. Citing data assembled by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), he highlighted a stark demographic shift: “Since 2000, the population of the Netherlands has grown by more than 2 million people, of whom about 95 percent are either migrants or the children of migrants. During the same period, the population of Dutch ethnic origins has decreased, with deaths exceeding births.”

Same in all the globalist-led nations, including Trudeau's Canada, Starmer's UK, Oaf Sholz's Germany, etc.
