Re: US Protests

Having worked for almost 40 years for American companies, I can confirm that many Americans are permanently off their heads and absolutely mad.

This morning, I repeat the above statement based upon lengthy experience of Americans.

I’m not saying Trump is another Hitler, but he must be the nearest to him we’ve seen in a Western democracy in most of our lifetimes.

The real scary thing about all this, is how one person can brainwash so many.
As intelligent and street wise as humans can be, they have been getting brainwashed since time began.

The one photo doing the rounds of the fella scaling the chamber with protective gear (and I think tooled up, can’t quite tell) with zip ties in hand is chilling.

Don't know about that, he didn't start a proper war in 4 years.

Blair and Bush have far more blood on their hands.

Neither did Hitler during his first four years in power.

Whether you love him or hate him, the way he's managed to captivate his audience is like nothing I've ever seen in my lifetime.

He's changed politics for a long time to come no doubt

Re: US Protests

Its like City v Man U in 74

More security for us at the Jack's than was evident at Capitol Hill. No wonder matters got totally out of hand.

I think it ironic that the poor and uneducated vote against their own interests and effectively buy into the propaganda foisted upon them by corporate America and the wealthy. Social programmes are interpreted by them as creeping communism and the paranoia amongst many of those who don't even have any health cover is incredible: they are more likely to take to the streets if their rights to own guns are involved.

That paranoia, which includes the fear of the state/UN/Bill Gates etc moving in to control their lives, is obviously partly influenced by the the collective history of people fleeing oppressive regimes but Canada doesn't seem to have gone down that road.

The cult of the individual and the disregard for others is always a problem but when the uneducated and guns are introduced to the mix it's obviously a tinder box.

Strange how folk could just march into such an important building like that , and even sit in their chamber in the big seat , you'd think that building after 9/11 would be a fortress , terrorists must be rubbing their hands with glee after watching that footage ??

P.S. I forgot to mention the role of social media, which can be both a curse and a blessing in life....
