The article highlighted below represents a brilliant and multiplex presentation of the worldwide realities of the premier world blight of militarism. One could call it the Ultimate Virus, the Unremitting Pandemic–that few even recognize for the Monstrous World Nightmare it is.
The other day I was forwarded an Opinion piece in Canada’s Maclean’s magazine entitled: China was in violation of International Health Regulations. What do we do now? It was written by Errol Patrick Mendes, Marcus Kolga and Sarah Teich–all part of the Canadian liberal Establishment. They ended their article thus:
Canada’s political leaders must find the courage not to allow themselves to be intimidated by China’s totalitarian regime, and stand up against their crimes against the Uyghurs, other human rights abuses including the arbitrary detention of Canadians Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig, and rampant corruption. However, now is also the critical time to put in place plans to eventually hold them to account for the global spread of COVID-19.
The Opinion piece below that was by Conservative Party leader hopeful, Peter MacKay: Canada and its allies must hold the Chinese government to account. In it we read:
This clear threat to Canada’s national security has not been properly addressed or fully acknowledged, despite ample evidence over the past several years. Canada must learn from its allies, including Australia and the U.S., who have successfully implemented legislation to curb foreign influence . . .
Canada must stand together to defend our values and principles: democracy, freedom, human rights and respect for the rule of law. United, we can protect these values and principles from the alliance of malevolent and aggressive regimes that do not share our basic values and actively seek to undermine and subvert our societies, our independence, and our best interests.
In light of the Swanson material below, one wonders: Just what world do MacKay and the other writers inhabit? That leads to a further question: How does Canada stand up to the longstanding malevolent and aggressive regime to Canada’s south–bar none vis à vis our Planet–the Ultimate Totalitarian Regime? The answer is patently clear. We do not. On the contrary: through NATO and myriad government and business alliances we are in bed with the Most Dangerous Rogue State on Earth. It is also the most deadly Bully Nation.
