I think they have made some horrible policy decisions but at least most of them are not totally mad or <i>completely corrupt.</i> Also one has to take into account that much of Alberta (and a good bit of Saskatchewan?) hate the very name Trudeau due his father's National Energy Policy. <br /><br /><br />The massive amount of hatred that people in much af the EU and in Canada and the USA are showing towards anything Russian must have shocked Russians and just reinforced Putin's popularity. Sanctions probably have helped too. I have long speculated that the only thing that kept Castro in office so long was US anti-Cuban policy. <br /><br />BTW did you see the report that <a href="https://www.orlandoweekly.com/news/university-of-florida-renames-karl-marx-study-room-following-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-31222068" rel="nofollow"> the University of Florida has renamed a study room honoring economist and philosopher Karl Marx following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.</a> <br /><br />A Prussian-born socialist who spent much of his adult life in Britain. Oh it just struck me: "Prussia", "Russia", an easy mistake to make. jrkrideauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04869979887929067657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399730406480392183.post-68006459416376071042022-04-06T11:22:15.499-03:002022-04-06T11:22:15.499-03:00The world is due for a "Systemic Change"...The world is due for a "Systemic Change" <br /><br />China and Russia and many other countries have been stocking up on Gold anyway in anticipation of a Systemic Collapase.<br />The Dominoes are indeed going to go down but the main casualty will be the Western Banking Cabal who charge us interest on our own money - good riddance! - 1913 and 1694 needs to be undone. The worlds "vulnerable" are being genocided anyway under the current system .<br /><br />I watched the "hockey Stick" transition of all Eastern European Economies first hand when their system came down . Yes difficult for a couple of years but soon much better- so it will be Globally.<br />The main point to draw is that we will all end up on a much more equitable, people orientated, system of money .<br />Debt forgiveness has to be admitted as part of this Jubilee.<br /><br />The new system - whether this is the much vaunted QFS or not - will be based on money having a real foundation as opposed to being a giant ponzi system.<br /><br />If you believe Putin is Xi's bitch you are sorely mistaken. Putin is a master of "Statecraft" and has vowed publicly to unseat The Satanists.<br /><br />Listen to Dave: https://x22report.com/ds-sy...HuggyBearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14366295704979104102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6399730406480392183.post-6604232198817582522022-04-05T03:39:59.259-03:002022-04-05T03:39:59.259-03:00Awesome article.
