I think it has become pretty clear That corporations have completely taken over the U.S.
I have wondered what their end game was, and now I got it. They don’t care about politics or policy. All they wanted was full complete access to the most powerful item America has.
It’s Economic power.
They see how America “controls” most of the economies of the world. THAT is the power they crave. They HAVE to add that extra zero to their balance sheet no matter what. Tariffs against Mexico, Canada and China are a test run. To see how well their expectations are met, after all nobody who matters is gonna suffer right?
Unfortunately, they forgot one thing. Most other democratic counties are still democratic. Sure we all have corporate penetration at some level, but WE don’t have their personally chosen puppet master standing behind our world leader. And we especially don’t like it when someone is telling us what to do.
Canada is now officially looking to break as many financial ties with america as it can, and is opening up trade to as many Asian and European partners as they can. Mexico is doing the same.
There are only two outcomes that are going to happen in this scenario. Either way, america is going to be the big loser.
Scenario 1: They try for the full four years to force the rest of the world to bend the knee (they will of course fail)
scenario 2 however…
scenario 2: they go militaristic.
Here is why the Canadian “51st state” rhetoric should be concerning everybody. Especially Americans.
They are trying to set up a “Ukraine 2.0” situation should they need it. Why? Because they have access to all the Data about climate change. And Canada has in abundance the resources the states will need survive it all. bigger country but a VASTLY smaller population. I mean what could go wrong right? I mean sure the Russians fucked it up, but we’re americans right!? We have the most powerful army in the world!
Because nobody learned anything from Afghanistan…
But here’s the real reason why ALL Americans should be concerned. Guess what they can suspend during a “time of war?” That’s right, the Constitution. SO guess who would get to hold onto the reigns of power until the “war” over?" Their puppet.
I am going to close with this. I have worked with alot of ex Canadian military guys, one guy was a retired Colonel in the Army. He told me a story about one day when they were at a training exercise with the American military. It was after hours and all the leadership got together for a little “Get to know you” function. drinks were flowing liberally, and after imbibing some, he was talking to an American General. And point blank asked him what he thought would happen if they ever tried to invade Canada? His answer was one simple sentence…
“We’d take her, but we’d never be able to keep her.”
We are a nation of citizens.
Finally learning about capitalism being the enemy eh?
Kinda inspiring to see it when it happens, like watching a predator in a nature documentary.
The “American Dream” is actually about corporations not paying taxes, not paying living wages or benefits of any kid. No Unions, no workers rights. AND you are expected to buy everything all the time for the rest of your life. Spend, spend, spend. Live in debt, a slave to a horrific job. The USA already is a Corporation. You are groomed from childhood to want that “brand” and wear free advertising logos on your clothing. You must accept advertising everyplace you go, selling the worst quality products at a luxury price.
A Government that cares will fairly tax everyone, including Businesses, and the Church. They provide Social Services and Public services to keep us safe, informed and alert us to things like a Pandemic. They provide Healthcare. They provide us with a way to secure our retirement. They foster growth and progress. The USA does not have that government. It has been stolen from us by a Press that wanted a dictator. Buy an election system that no longer works after 249 years. We have nothing but overpriced clutter that we purchased, most of which will never get used and ends up in a landfill.

I like UCA, strong ring to it. Maybe if we say it enough, there would be rebel
I read a book in high school called TSOG: The Thing That Ate the Constitution by Robert Anton Wilson. It was basically about how the W. Bush regime were basically Tsarists. I saw the parallels but chuckled sensibly at the hyperbole of it.
I think now I owe old Bob an apology.
We can always go deeper.
