50 Shades of Evil

The US blockade of Iran seems to be a much better strategy than dropping bombs.  Iran’s economy is collapsing in real time.  But if you ask an Iranian government minister it is all sunshine and roses.

“In the economy, the issue is only and only high prices and inflation,” Abdolmaleki said. “Set high prices aside and you have no other economic problems… We have no problems, praised be God.”

So, if you ignore 90% inflation Iran is doing just fine right up until the moment the economy collapses completely.

This is the mentality that produces economic collapse. Politicians spend their careers manipulating statistics and making excuses rather than confronting the consequences of their own policies. 

I doubt anyone is surprised that the Iranian government is indifferent to the suffering of their people.  Everyone knows that the Iranian government is evil.  What surprises me is that people refuse to see how evil our governments are.  There is no better example of this than Canada.

For decades Canadian governments have pursued policies that Damage Canada and Canadians.  They appointed Judges who believe that punishing criminals is wrong.  The public should just learn to like being victimized.

Tierney is no boy scout. He had already done time for 85 previous break-ins costing the victims $26,000. The Crown wanted Tierney locked away for four years. But if they knew anything about the judge, they should have known if was a non-starter.

In a blindingly obvious statement, Chamberlain noted prison hasn’t seemed to work for Tierney who has been behind bars for 18 months. So, Tierney’s all ours.

And they steal with impunity.  I don’t think there has ever been a Canadian politician who could find a reason not to dole out tax money to friends and family.

Toronto city hall has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to a DEI consulting firm with long, personal ties to both Olivia Chow’s most trusted staffer and one of her deputy mayors, the Toronto Sun has learned.

Ottawa’s electric vehicle rebate program paid billions of dollars in subsidies while most recipients surveyed reported earning more than $100,000 a year and nearly one-quarter said they would have purchased an electric vehicle without the incentive, federal records show.

Worst of all, senior government officials are in the pocket of foreign governments.  That is a bold statement but how else do you explain how a fake Canadian, real Chinese spy, got appointed to NATO without any vetting even after she was caught lying on job applications?

She had applied twice under two different names and e-mail addresses for a role at the Canada Border Services Agency, and had taken a test required for the role twice under different identities.

The previous Liberal government under Justin Trudeau was particularly bad for the country.  Trudeau said and did some equally stupid and evil things that were disastrous for the country.

Based on the history of the Liberals since they came to power in 2015, it’s best to take all their “magic bean” solutions to fix our economy with a grain of salt.

Remember “The Great Reset”, touted by Justin Trudeau, the World Economic Forum the UN, and many other global political leaders, to “build a better and more sustainable future for all” coming out of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic?

That meant, according to Trudeau, “getting support to the most vulnerable while maintaining our momentum on reaching the (UN) 2030 agenda for sustainable development. This is our chance to … help reimagine economic systems that actually address global challenges like extreme poverty, inequality, and climate change.”

How did that magic bean work out in the wake of the pandemic, as the economic damage it caused persists to this day?

Yet when it came time to replace him Canadians decided to hand the country over to Trudeau’s closest advisor.  Mark Carney advised Trudeau to run the largest deficits in history and then on the campaign trail promised to balance the budget.  For some strange reason Canadians believed that obvious lie and it is working our just how you might have guessed.

Carney promised to “balance the operating budget by Budget 2028” during the election.

Here’s what that means in plain language:

Carney split the federal budget into two piles — day-to-day operating spending and capital spending. Then he promised to balance just one of them.

That plan was always more of a distraction than a solution to fix Canada’s finances. Politicians hope that if they can repeat a phrase that sounds like balancing the budget, maybe Canadians won’t notice the debt grow by tens of billions of dollars every year.

Carney is borrowing $65 billion this year and even plans to add billions more to the debt than what former prime minister Justin Trudeau planned.

Apparently, a balanced budget is in the eye of the beholder.  Carney had no intentions of balancing the budget.  That on its own would have been bad but Carney had way worse plans than just driving the country further in debt.  He blew up relations with our largest trading partner to force an unhappy marriage with the EU.  They don’t want us, but Carney is undeterred.  It will be a shot-gun wedding.

“The good news is it doesn’t matter about specific names or nomenclature,” he said.

“What matters is the difference that it will make to the lives of Canadians.”

The difference to Canadians will be negative.  How could it not be?  Carney is tying us to a group of countries even more screwed up than Canada.

But, dear heavens, the Europeans are in bigger financial trouble than we are, have less control over their borders even than we do,

Not only is Europe screwed up but their leaders are insane.  They are pushing for a war with Russia and are either stupid enough or deluded enough to believe China will sit it out.

There is NO WAY you can destroy Russia and ask China to please wait quietly for you turn. 

A war with Russia will become a world war.  There is no way China will abandon their closest ally.  They can’t afford to.  The Chinese know they would just become the next scape goat and target.  How can you possibly be stupid enough to believe China does not understand that if Russia falls, they will be next?  That is the point.  These people are not that stupid.  They are just evil.  A different shade of evil from the Iranians but evil all the same.
