Update: That woman arrested in George for having a Canadian driver's license was from 2018. Must have been a stupid cop. The whole thing is insane.
More like Clown day. That is hilarious. Tariffs are taxes. Liberation day happens when he lifts the taxes. Calling sweeping taxes liberation day is about as ironic as the Patriot act which was anything but.
The Globe and Mail is reporting that "In announcing his broadside against global trade, U.S. President Donald Trump claimed the aggressive tariffs will “make America rich again.” Few economists believe that, but the new tariffs are set to send American trade policy back to the 1930s."
The 1930's... ah yes, also known as the Great Depression. "Calling Wednesday Liberation Day, Mr. Trump imposed steep tariffs on allies and foes alike, including 20 per cent on imports from Europe, 24 per cent from Japan and 34 per cent from China, which are being stacked on top of existing duties on Beijing." So here we have the new Adolf Hitler declaring a trade war with the entire world except Russia.
I haven't been listening to the news much because this is all they're talking about and it's toxic. CBC kept going on about a new global economy. Sounds an awful lot like the UN's New World Order which also created a new global economy and political insanity. Like I said before, Trump may well be good at hostile corporate takeovers but he sure is a horrible salesman. No one in the world is going to want to buy American after this.
Speaking of which, let's talk about the American tourist industry. That is a large source of income for the USA. Well recently a Canadian woman was pulled over in Georgia for speeding. The cop said her Canadian drivers license wasn't legal. Do these cops ever go to school? She was arrested because she was on a student visa and didn't have her passport with her. She had to pay $1,000 Canadian bail to get out of jail and get her car back.
So all these Canadians that drive their car across the border and not allowed to drive them with a Canadian driver's license? Americans can driver their cars in Canada with an American drivers licence. Part of the problem is some cop are stupid. The other problem is this crazy initiative they've been given.
A family friend of a coworker was recently asked his opinion of Donald Trump at the border. He said he wasn't a fan. They turned him around, denied him entry and banned him for five years. At least they didn't put him in an ice prison.
Asking someone their political opinion at the border is completely unacceptable. Yet that's not all. The Guardian is reporting that "A French scientist was denied entry to the US this month after immigration officers at an airport searched his phone and found messages in which he had expressed criticism of the Trump administration." That is George Orwell.
What happened to the land of the Free? This does not promote tourism. Locking that Vancouver woman in an ICE prison when she applied for a visa was insane. The United States has become a third world country. Other countries don't treat tourists that way. Donald Trump is the world's worst salesman because none of this is promoting the tourist industry.
Remember that movie Independence Day with Will Smith? The world pulled together to fight an alien invasion and America led the way. Well Donald Trump's Clown day is the exact opposite.
Remember that TV series the Promised Land? An American family sell their house, buy a trailer and travel across the US. Up until recently people had generally thought North America was a promised land of sorts that protected freedom and liberty. Not any more. Now we see a different kind of gathering. Good people are gathering together in every country in the world.
We've heard the saying all is not well in Zion. Well thankfully, there are stakes of Zion in every country in the world. Let freedom ring. Roll the stone away, let the white doves sing. There will be an Independence day but this is not it.
Throw in some Yuri bezmenov too . All out there for those who like puzzles . It's like a soap opera or watching hockey games , sports etc . You have about zero influence in those things . Yet time is spent on that stuff , so I spend my time researching global geopolitics, and history, it always repeats . Waiting for the next cataclysm.

A wise man. Most have no idea who Bezmenov is. The reason history repeats is human nature. We do the same stuff all the time, with exceptions, and even within those exceptions we do the same stuff, if that makes sense. Freedom isn't free, the tree has to be watered regularly with something called vigilance. We have not been vigilant for decades, hence our present mess.
ReplyDeleteYeah we've gone from one extreme to the other and both extremes lead to the same place. Both extremes are completely blind. Out of the frying pan into the fire.
DeleteAnd you seriously think there was any other way to deal with a rogue power structure so deeply entrenched? Just vote, right? They did. This is what they voted for. Knowingly.
DeleteI most certainly do. In four years this clown is gone. Are you saying we should have used violence to put him in power during a coup? I think not. That is crazy. That kind of violence is self defeating.
DeleteThere is no guarantee of that. Even if he does not do a third term, the Dems are a proven clown show, the Americans will not elect whoever they choose to run against Vance.
DeleteViolence would not have worked then. It may well work in the next four, there are people down there who just like here are traitors who sold their country and it's citizens to others. Right now the frogs are in the pot, but think they can control the heat. We are a bit behind them, but not by much.
DeleteViolence in support of who? Trump? Kamala? Someone else?
Deletecheck the date of that article.
ReplyDelete2018? That is insane. That was a stupid cop.
DeleteDoes undoing one evil necessarily lead to another?
ReplyDeleteNot at all. We took a chance on a clown and crapped out.
DeleteOf course drugs from Canada into the States is a myth. Canadian driver from Ontario. Whatever he was being paid it probably wasn't enough. Maybe cash and a patch?

Violence doesn't work for anything.
ReplyDeletePeople might think it does.
Everything has it time and place. There's a time for war and a time for peace. There's a time for the use of force but there's never a time for violence. The use of force is to stop the violence.
DeleteIn what alternate unreality is use of force not violent?
DeleteViolence and the use of force are two different things.
DeleteThe use of force is what police officers use when they arrest someone for committing an act of violence. Domestic violence is brutal. Violence is predatory. We use force to stop violence.
DeleteIt's a sliding scale for both.
Delete"Duality". No escape from it, only the power to manage it. Balance in all things.
