Where we want to be: peace and prosperity

We've talked about where we were and where we are. Now let's talk about where we want to be. Most people don't like drama. They don't want unnecessary conflict. They prefer peace. Not peace at any price just inner peace and if at all possible the basic prosperity that goes with it. People care about the economy and people don't want unnecessary wars. 

Canadians are known for standing up to bullies but they have been know as peacekeepers. We all know where there is no justice there will be no peace. That means real peace is a reflection of justice. What's happening in Gaza is not just. The Oslo accord was just. Greed assassinated the peace process.

In my opinion, the US Constitution and the Canadian Charter of Rights are blueprints for a just society where civil liberty is protected by law. So is the Irish Proclamation and the South Africa Constitution. The United States does not have a monopoly on freedom. Martin Luther King once had a dream. 

His dream was that the US Constitution would one day be more than a nice piece of paper hanging on the wall. His dream was that one day the Constitution would become a reality not just a verbal pledge. The same with Communist China. 

China has a Constitution. China even calls itself a Republic just like North Korea does but neither are free Republics where civil liberty is protected by law. Yet. China has made considerable process. Article 36 of China's Constotution states that "The People's Republic of China has freedom of faith and religion. No state organization, social group or individual may force a citizen to accept or not to accept a religious faith, nor can they discriminate against either religious or non-religious citizens. The state protects normal religious activities."

Right now that's just  a nice piece of paper hanging on the wall. It's not practiced but it's pledge is a definite step forward. China recognizes five official religions: Buddhism, Taoism, Islam, Protestantism, and Catholicism. These religions are state-sanctioned but are subject to government supervision.

The Falun Gong are Buddhists and that is state sanctioned. Unfortunately China designates them as a cult and uses that designation to justify violating their own Constitution. 

Why is the freedom of religion important? Wait 'till I tell ye. The freedom of religion is important because that's the first freedom they take away before they take away every other freedom you have or want. The freedom from unlawful arrest. The right to legal representation and a fair trial. 

Free speech and lawful assembly. Mobility rights and the freedom to move. These are all rights and freedoms the World Economic Forum want to take away from us peice by piece like a frog in warm water. 

They used Covid to rationalize taking away many freedoms we never thought they ever could take away. They also use Climate Change and fake environmentalism to do the same thing. So Mark Carney is bad but so is Stephen Harper. 

We want to balance the extremes so we can find peace and prosperity. That's where we want to go. Donald Trump's recent mental breakdown has left many feeling bewildered and discouraged. We thought he was going to save us. Instead he betrayed us. Are you really that surprised? He's a politician. That's what politicians do.

Some people get so discouraged they quit. It's no use. They're all bad. I'll never vote in another reflection again. That's exactly what the bad people want. They want you to feel discouraged and they want you to give up so they can have complete control over you. Some people say I'm going to start a new political party. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't.

If you start a new political party the powers that be will try to infiltrate and take that over too. I started Green Justice because I was unhappy with Dianne Watts' fake Conservative tax and spend pork barrel politics. At first I was going to run candidates. Then when I saw Doug McCallum was running a full slate, I endorsed him and simply became a third party sponsor. 

That's where I'm at. I don't have the time or resources to start new political parties. I'm simply an online third party sponsor. I support candidates on the left and the right who share my values. There's a difference between right wing and Conservative. Hitler was right wing but he was not conservative. Conservatives believe in small government and more freedom. Hitler's Nationalism believed in big government and limited freedom. Extremists on the right crush civil liberty just as much as extremists on the left.

Stephen Harper was an enemy of the Charter of Rights. I found that shocking because he was supposed to be conservative. He obviously was not. His tax and spend insider trading rivaled his idol Lyin Brian Mulroney. 

Justin Trudeau was an enemy of the Charter of Rights. That shocked me too because his father gave us the Charter. That's why I called Justin Commodus. He was not  a man like unto his father. So let's balance the left and the right and protect civil liberty by law. That would establish peace and prosperity based on justice. That's where we want to go.

You know that Green Day song Good Riddance and the poem Desiderata? The universe is unfolding as it should. In the end it's right. The pendulum swings from the left to the right based on the pride cycle. When one side gets too proud the pendulum starts to swing the other way until that side gets too proud. Then it swings back the other was again. That is natural justice. That is a democratic system which I support.
