 This morning (December) was checking through some of the usual, conventional papers that are worth reading only because I can get them free. Today, I was enraptured by the tone of a typical article these papers carry. It says that President Biden may feel it necessary to invade Cuba. It

 I hesitate to write this. I’m sorry I wrote it. I’m sorry I had to write it. We have one hell of a change to face and, well, we humans are not good at dealing with change. Maybe the best thing to do is to read only your local newspaper

Consortium news carries the story of a recent study of tax cuts for the rich. The government argument for this is that tax cuts for the rich create a trickle down that means financial benefits for all of us. But recent studies show they do no such thing. In fact,

I came across a disappointing but true story today while playing on the computer. I went to the web site  for the Canadian war museum in Ottawa. There, I found a sentence I didn’t want to see. The museum had a recent section on the time Canadians sent our troops

It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world. (Forgive me. I gave brief start to this post, but soon drifted off into the evil of our very wealthy.And they are very evil, indeed. I really should put in a section on these people, on the power they have inflicted on us

This is a short one because I have run into some terrible computer problems. I hope to be back among the living in two or three days.  American billionaires have made over a trillion dollars since March. Isn’t that nice? Of course, somebody had to suffer for this.  The ones

 You think Joe Biden’s a great guy compared to Trump. Actually, he may well be worse. He has a long history a war puppet for  the super rich. Trump was scared of war. That’s why Iran and Venezuela 0h,- and China – survived at a time when American billionaires wanted

 Get real. For a start, He and his wife had a good income, but not a sensational one right up to 2017. And that was the year he did well with an income of 11 million. Wasn’t that nice? It isn’t clear how he earned that. But it was nice.

The text below is the third copy of the blog I prepared. Three of those copies immediately appeared on the screen – then disappeared, seemingly to cancel my account of Britain, the U.S., and narcotics in China. So I’m trying it all again.______________________________________________________ I know I said I would break

 When I began this blog many years ago – and until recently – it had a huge audience over much of the world. Canadians were small potatoes. But that audience became quite different just a couple of months ago. I ceased to be international, and even as a Canadian site,it

This computer is driving me crazy. All sorts of functions just won’t work. In the pararaphs below, for example,there is a huge gap – and then some more  paragraphs will show up. And nothing I can do will bring those two paragraphs together. And I constantly get other oddities in

 https://www.commondreams.org/news/2020/09/15/25-trillion-theft-study-shows-richest-1-americans-have-taken-50-trillion-bottom-90 Forgive me for this very incomplete report. I  am having a terrible time in figuring how to use my new computer – including such things as giving a full report instead of the scrawny statement above. The story is that the richest 1 percent of Americans in the last

 https://www.commondreams.org/news/2020/11/09/many-workers-will-suffer-days-after-election-trump-quietly-freezes-wages-farm But who cares? Right? Well, you better care because this is just a hint of what is coming – and what has already come. Our millionaires and billionaires have been on a binge for the last 70 years, plundering the working class and the middle class. You won’t find

 For all the cheers in our news media, the victory of Biden almost certainly does nothing for the election crisis. The U.S. is divided into two almost equal parts. And those still have the power to destroy the nation. And Canada is right in the line of fire. Yes, of

 I feel ill about writing what I now have to write. I said a long time ago that we humans are, above all animals, unique in our evil and greed. No other creature acts in this way. We are the victims of evil and we are evil itself. The American

 Just minutes ago, I watched CNN on TV. And this is the same garbage I’ve seen on every channel. Like virtually all commercial news media it ignores the central problem of almost all of our news media. It gets nowhere near the meanings of the issues it discusses.And we lose

The UN has warned that we are very close to starving to death a  whole generation  of children in Yemen. Onward Christian soldiers.  After I read about this, I came across a new report. For some time under Trump, U.S. drone bombers were bombing civilians – and drone bombers make

 I know, I said I would stop bothering you with my blog. But I made an extremely unpleasant discovery. Go to Counterpunch in your blog titles for October 26. The first item on that page is about Trump and China. It says that Trump plans a nuclear attack on China

No. I said I would take a break on writing my columns. And I will. But…..something came along. It’s about Canada’s billionaires – which are pretty much like  billionaires all over the world. Canada’s biggest billionaire is David Thomson who is listed at 43.4 billion dollars. (Canada has a total

When I begam this blog, my purpose was not to express my opinions. It was, in the face of a largely dishonest news media, to expose readers to a larger range of choice in reading the news. This larger change meant bringing in honest commercial news media (like The Manchester
