Gas-lighting War?

Well, "American" folks of North America (being Canadians, USians, and Mexicans), before we got to the Tariff Wars, we started with the Gas-lighting War and we, the North and South neighbours, apparently LOST because no one ASKED (including a bevy of reporters crowded before Trump’s new press secretary, Karoline Leavitt): “HOW (in the name of your vaunted common sense) are Canada and Mexico letting illegal immigrants and tons of illicit drugs into the U.S.? Surely in that sardine bunch, someone actually wondered about border protocol, so why, why, why didn’t someone ask:
What do you mean "allow / enable"? Is the U.S. government so short on citizens that they have taken to hiring Canadian and Mexican custom and immigration officers at their ports of entry? Is that how Canada and Mexico are subverting and harming the U.S.?



Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Briefs Members of the Media, Jan. 31, 2025
(The White House | Jan 31, 2025 | Time 39:02 min.) at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xpyOSJaxkA
(see at min. mark 14:40: "The president will be implementing tomorrow [25 % tariffs on Mexico and Canada ...] for the illegal fentanyl that they have sourced and allowed to distribute into our country which has killed tens of millions of Americans ..." & at 20:00: "The tariffs are incoming tomorrow on Canada and the reason for that is because both Canada and Mexico have allowed an unprecedented invasion of illegal fentanyl that is killing American citizens and also illegal immigrants into our country. ... Canada Mexico, and China ... have all enabled illegal drugs to pour into America ...")
I live near the border and not once (as a dual) have I been stopped by the Canadian side before presenting myself to the U.S. side (and vice versa), so what is all this “allowed / enabled” accusation? Is Canada supposed to supply the U.S. side with training for detection of terrorists and criminals? with drug-sniffing dogs? with border patrols to prevent people from entering the U.S.? How utterly bizarre to listen to Ms Leavitt allege that Canada's offence is to “allow” illicit drugs and illegals into the U.S. How much is allegedly sourced from Canada? And how much from some of your own U.S. diplomats, CiA, et al. who bring in drugs by the pouch, body bag, and planeload, or are grown / produced on your own soil ? How many criminals and terrorists have waltzed past your airport customs and immigration officers with false or special exemption documents because they were on (secret) USian assignment? There are more USian exposés than time to read them all, shelved under “conspiracy theory” so people ignore or mock them until time and declassification prove them true. Many of these exposés are written by U.S. insiders and patriots with integrity. Many know first hand of U.S. government corruption, crime, and bullying and are distressed by the sense of entitlement,  injustice, and violation of Constitution.

Of course, there are millions of great U.S. citizens, but so far, most have allowed  / enabled crime and corruption to flourish by pretending it doesn't exist except in the opposing red or blue "team." Unfortunately the same applies to Canada. Our lax enforcement has allowed crime and corruption to flourish, too. We need to clean our Canadian house to be a better neighbour, just as the U.S. does. 

So yes, there are undoubtedly “bad guys” in Canada that USians don’t want, just as there are “bad guys” in the U.S. that Canada and Mexico don’t want, but allowing or denying entry to the U.S. is the sole responsibility of U.S. officials.

I had some great hopes that the massive gas-lighting of Biden’s press secretary would be over, but it seems not. Maybe Leavitt is not as transparently egregious, but perhaps more dangerous with the brazen confidence of casting blame (a favored tool of gas-lighters) in with a potpourri of truth, reason, and consequence.

Let us open our eyes and ears, my fellow USians and Canadians: the U.S. is solely responsible for who or what they let into their country. Neither Canada, Mexico, nor China can dictate terms of U.S. entry. We are to protect (and clean up) our side of the border, they, to  protect (and clean up) their  side, This victim mentality and gas-lighting by this superpower in this border matter is astonishing.

Four final words: God help us all.

A Canadian “In Vino Veritas”* Q&A

(Imagine!)

During and after the December 17, 2024 Liberal Holiday Caucus party (where food and Canadian wines1 flow freely), a few die-hard reporters manage to scrum three caucus VVIPs before security ends the questioning:
Q: Mr. LeBlanc,2 after MP and PM remarks of short hours ago, how can you say your Liberal party is united as you claim?
A: Well, let me say, I know I said yes, yesterday, or maybe the day before, but the truth is No, we’re not united, except when we must vote to keep our jobs and augment our pensions. The truth is, quite a bunch desperately want the PM gone, but we gotta hang on till our ominous, ... I mean, omnibus Bill C633 gets passed, cause you know: how else during the inevitable coming campaign are we gonna censor and prosecute all the hate speech against us for the past nine years? Besides that ...
(Jolène Richard interrupts: “Sorry Ms Reporter, but Dom and I gotta go. Other commitments, you know.”)
Q: Ms Freeland, Ms Freeland,4 are you intending to run for PM, when ...?
A: Of course, I am. I was the one running most everything anyway. At least, Klaus and I were and we have great plans for Canadians in the coming Wo...
(Graham Bowley interrupts: “Sorry Ezra, but it’s past our son’s bedtime. We need to get him home. School tomorrow, you know.”)
Q: Ms Gould, Ms Gould,5 who gave you the orders to table the Fall Economic Statement and then vanish6? And secondly, what do you say to the charge that your vanishing act was in contempt of duties to the House? ... Ms Gould ... MS GOULD ... (as she vanishes through a nearby door).
(Security appears through the Gould door: “As a point of order, there shall be no more questioning of ministers. This is a loyal-to-the-Liberal-family-only7 party.”)
So, what do we do, good Canadians, with this impasse of power and privilege obsession? What do we do when corruption after corruption, scandal after scandal are exposed and nothing done — no consequence?

At the least, let us remember every MP (Left, Right, Middle, or Far) who voted against constitutional rights and freedoms during COVID; who currently ignores or denies the exposed corruptions and scandals; or who denigrates or inverts long-standing Canadian values and culture. Then let us, at the ballot box remove their power. Let us also remember with our ballot every MP of integrity. Let us be forever vocal and involved.

* “In vino veritas is a Latin phrase that means 'in wine, there is truth', suggesting a person under the influence of alcohol is more likely to speak their hidden thoughts and desires. The phrase is sometimes continued as, in vīnō vēritās, in aquā sānitās, 'in wine there is truth, in water there is good sense (or good health)'. Similar phrases exist across cultures and languages.” | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_vino_veritas

Hey World! The Future in 1.08 Minutes?

(Thanks to the Bitten Apple)


Crush! | iPad Pro | Apple
(Apple | May 7, 2024 | Time 1:08 min.) at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntjkwIXWtrc
(Archived at https://web.archive.org/)
Did I say “The Future”? I misspoke. Not the real future, just the future envisioned by “power” Utopians and their gods — you know, those dreamers like Chairman Mao and other faux-wokers1 who are obsessed with destroying all the:
▪ old thinking
▪ old knowledge
▪ old culture
▪ old morals
▪ old customs2
So, let us ponder: Could the projected future of the Utopians be portrayed any more graphically than Apple just did? Ironically, 40 years ago Apple celebrated its creativity with a 1:06 minute, iconic “1984 Super Bowl Commercial.”3 However, this 2024 commercial has upped the ante from the 1984  commercial. There, in 1984,  Apple mocked the competition; here it crushes not just the competition, but creativity itself. Not what Apple intended maybe, but truth, as usual, reveals itself in the strangest of ways (with mixed results4).

So here’s a heads-up to the neo-Maoists, Fwokers, and Crushers. The future you dream of ain’t comin’. It might look like you’ve killed the old for a time — like you’ve successfully swept the field clean for a new World Order (WO), but the Universe always, eventually, repays in kind — one sows what one reaps.

So, just another heads-up! It ain't too late, yet, you know, to avoid the reaper — the Crusher!
