As a former Time Inc. Subsidiary alumni I really really like your posts. This well written expose' on the evil WEF and other aristocratic henchmen is an excellent review of how the "Illuminati" use climate change and other underhanded means to screw the lower 50%. I am a new subscriber and glad I signed up! As a Chemical Engineer I know Climate Change is a hoax to rob and wield undeserved power from us.

This was thoughtful, and there is much to absorb and mull over. As always. Thank you!

Just a few thoughts as I read. I hope they do not seem contrarian, but are shared to add to the conversation.

“These guys, they make me laugh. Seriously? How stupid do they think we are? How hated are they? All over the world, they are loathed and laughed at.”

Oh, I do hope you are right. But, anecdotally, do you not find many who are oblivious to politics, global affairs, current events? Perhaps it is that they (we) are scarred by the last three years and ostriching is our method of coping with the glut of ugly fear-mongering surrounding us. T. S. Eliot wrote, “Mankind cannot bear much reality.” Indeed.

“Biden is gaga.” Hmmmm. Is he? Do others wonder as I do? We view the creepy, vacuous, sniffy stumblebum in endlessly repeated video clips, but less presented to us are those times he’s one- on-one with an interviewer without prompt screens, and somehow he manages decently. Or he seems to be holding up well when chatting with foreign leaders. So, what is it? In ‘struth is he the fierce, canny “Big Guy” still in absolute control, but hiding under a veneer of dementia (which he could use if he were indicted)? Or are are there two Bidens? Three? Five? Only God knows in this dizzying three-ring circus in which we live.

I know you would quickly agree that poverty in Canada can be relative. Those who work or volunteer in the helping agencies will suggest poverty can be relative. Many poor will moan there is not enough for food, rent, gas (and, yes, this is real for some), but, alas, there are too many of these poor who still have enough for smokes, pot, alcohol, tats, manicures, pub crawls, big screen TV, cable subscriptions, take-out food, junk food, video games, large pets with ravenous appetites, and iPhones with full data. Few of us begrudge them the creature comfort extras many still enjoy and take for granted, but reality dictates these should be choices related to sound money management. And sound money and food management skills have oft not been passed down by family — or taught in schools, the latter a sad oversight. Perhaps mandatory “Banking, Budget and Money-handling 101” and “Cheap Nutritious Meals 101” could replace Critical Race Theory classes.

My parents married during the Dirty Thirties. My father was a butcher, and my mom, staying at home with my elder siblings, scrupulously budgeted his $21 salary each week to scrape up a down payment on a small Ottawa home. They took in 2-3 boarders to meet the payments. No restaurants. Basic nutritious foods. Casseroles. Vats of homemade soups. Root veggies. No processed foods or treats. Fifty years later, despite prosperity, my mother still operated with a dirty thirties mentality. With (yes, oft necessary) readily available welfare, EI, Cerb, and with no budgeting or nutritious food prep skills, there is a sad underclass that is drowning. Handouts and social safety nets need to be slowly supplanted by sound education in good coping, money-planning and nutrition skills. My mom could have taught them well.
