Just finished reading an article that bears the name of this thread. It was written by a journalist named Simplicius, who I believe I was introduced to by Michael Hardner here, and I think he really is quite good. Quoting its introduction: ** What do you know? Today in court the Justice Department officially dropped the fake claim that Maduro was ringleader of the fictitious ‘Cartel of the Suns’, which never existed. The theater is not required anymore, you see, now that he’s captured! Convenient how that works, no? [snip] Can this administration and Justice Department in particular stoop any lower? After their Epstein docs “shell games” it was hard to believe that they could or would. That’s all not to mention the fact that the indictment itself now strikes a bit different compared to the accusations levied against Maduro in lead up to his capture, which were used to build him up as the world’s greatest crime boss: The Onion fixed that: But it little matters anymore, as the Trump administration has dropped all pretenses of adhering to any laws, strictures, or moral codes: they have simply declared the US’s right to take whatever it wants by virtue of its superpower status alone.

Even the MSM has reported that next to nothing was done on Indigenous water issues during Trudeau's regime. And yet we've dumped all this money into it. Where did all that money go? But Treebaby is going to support the Liberals, no matter what. And right now, they are saying everything in Canada is going GREAT! Canadians have never had it so good! You're just imagining any problems! He will not look anything up. He will not ask any questions. He will not ask the Indigenous people. He will not investigate on his own. He will not accept any info that doesn't come from CBC or CTV. He is spoon-fed his info from CBC and he loves it that way. No thinking needed.

This happened: USA TODAY:Package containing explosives found near Arizona Supreme Court This was probably someone that is mad about not having the right to discrimenately kill babies: Group launches campaign to oust 2 Arizona justices over abortion ruling It is really sad what the left has become. They can't just protest and try to convince people to support them. They have to kill people or threaten to kill people to get their way. That should tell you just how unpopular their beliefs are.

Your hatred of anything conservative is because you've been trained to hate conservatives by the Liberal paid-for media in Canada for decades now. That's why you think debate is treason. That's why you think dialogue is sedition. That's why you think questioning anything Liberals do is conspiracy theory. That's why you avoid serious conversation and engage mostly in name-calling and moral posturing. It's nonsense and it's pathetic.

No, i'm no good at internet ventriloquism. My mouth always moves when i type the other character's posts and i can't type B's M's and P's.

Are you saying the internet lied to me?

Are you a parody account? Is this @CdnFox @WestCanMan? Who is doing this?

"Pride comes before the fall"... Governor Walz and his political team have finally accepted the obvious...even Democrats in Minnesota have lost confidence in his ability to do the job without squandering more billions of taxpayer dollars. Walz's meteoric rise to national prominence was built on fraud and mismanagement of state and federal Medicaid resources, and fittingly, his total political collapse has been caused by the same thing.

This independent investigative journalist has compiled financial data for 575 First Nations in Canada. Link to publicly available data below his explanation. CDN First Nations wealth, and wealth per capita, taken from Financial Statements. CDN First Nations are required by law to make public their Financial Statements But in 2015 Justin Trudeau said 'Don't worry, though I swore an Oath to uphold the laws of Canada, I'm going to selectively enforce them based on race.' He should have been evicted on this alone. However, most bands do file them, or at least most Financial Statements are available, (but not always up to date). But they are PDF's which makes it extremely difficult for us plebs to comprise encompassing financial data. I suggest it's on purpose. So I downloaded all 575 Financial Statements, and manually scraped the data for accuracy. I wanted to see the CASH of each band, and the ACCUMULATED SURPLUS (Net Equity). Then I scraped the Reserve population of each band, and correlated the PER CAPITA WEALTH. The CASH position is not the total Financial Position, like Investments, Receivables, etc, but just CASH! Like the Wiikwemkoong who have $755M in cash (from a settlement). Why do we have to keep funding them? Private sector accounting uses "Net Equity" to show Total Assets - less Total Liabilities Band Statements use Canadian public sector accounting standards, and the term "Accumulated Surplus", which assumes perpetual funding. Samson Cree Nation expects perpetual funding. Each Reserve population is published as a webpage, not a database, but I scraped that too, to get a per capita correlation. On Reserve is directly tied to Band wealth, where off Reserve is not dealt the same. Why do some bands have no one on Reserve, but yearly funding? To add transparency I have made all 575 financial statements available for download, as well as the spreadsheets complied to make the data for the webpage. If you find an error please let me know. Why did I do this? Because there is no accountability in First Nations financing. We pay for them as a single entity, but many band members are far wealthier than the average Canadian per capita, and so when will it stop? Can't we ask a financial questions, or is that rAcIsT? I hope this helps people who want to know where their taxes are being spent, and find corruption within government. I did this so everyone can investigate, to reduce misinformation, and to bring accountability. I don't make money from X and I don't want any money from you. But once see the Financial Statements, and factor taxpayer funding, an entire new picture comes to light, and many more questions arise. Far more than just when will it stop, but WTF is going on?? LINK: Canadian First Nations Financial Data I think that most Indigenous are just like you and me, governed by people who tell lies, grease their friends, make shady deals, and foster division to detract from accountability. Band members sued their own Nation to get Band financial statements. Federal Court Orders Thunderchild First Nation to Disclose Financial Records - NetNewsLedger

Studies like this and others should be taken with a grain of salt. "Study on political violence omits pro-abortion attacks, BLM, and Antifa" Cato Institute’s Alex Nowrasteh only counts murders and excludes the 9/11 terrorist attacks to get to the conclusion conservatives are more violent. He labels the 9/11 attacks as “Islamism,” not leftism. That might be fair to do, insofar as the single event would be an outlier that would account for 83 percent of all political murders. What was included as right wing violence? The project labels as right-violence murkier cases, including “Linda Mueller and two friends” who “were arrested for peacefully protesting outside of an abortion clinic in West Chester, PA. But in only choosing murder, Nowrasteh discounts the criminal activity of Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and pro-abortion groups that attacked pro-life groups in the wake of the reversal of Roe v. Wade in 2022. Liberals rely on skewed studies to claim right-wing violence is more common https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/liberals-rely-on-skewed-studies-to-claim-right-wing-violence-is-more-common/ar-AA1N3jwk If the killer doesn't fit the narrative... SORRY, MEDIA, AARON LONG ISN’T THE WHITE SUPREMACIST YOU WERE HOPING FOR Notably missing from the list is convicted killer Darrell E. Brooks, who deliberately drove into a Christmas parade in Waukesha, Wisconsin. Brooks posted anti-white and anti-police content on social media, comparing police officers to Ku Klux Klan members and advocating violence against white people. All six of his victims, including an 8-year-old boy, were white.

Who in their right mind thinks the USA has a right to Greenland? It would be funny if it wasn’t so stupid and serious.

And posting such a reply shows who really is the simpleton. Dunning-Kruger, you lot prove how prevalent that syndrome is.

We all knew that's the Carney's main objective, money grubbing. Alas, Herbies Beavers Eyeballs are suffering from a malignant form of Myopia and are not to be trusted with a sniper rifle.

Talk about circling the wagons as they all rush to try to defend Trump's 'right' to solely determine the fate of other people's nations for them. Then when the fat old fool only speaks of the oil wealth continue to claim he was supporting their 'freedom'. As he does with Ukraine even as he stabs it in the back. Call him the liar among an ocean of Trump lies.

Fixed it for ya. Don't pretend to not know what America gets up to on every square inch of the planet, but especially in Ukraine in the Trump/Biden era. The US Gov't DECIDED who Ukrainians could even vote for. And if people wanna view Zelenski as "elected enough" for the present time that's fine, there's no one else on earth with a better claim to that throne right now than Zelenski, but it's a joke to pretend that what happened is Venezuela is somehow way worse than what America did in Ukraine: the fact of the matter is that the sovereign democratic processes of both of those countries were completely overtaken by American power-brokers. What they both have right now for leadership is America's appointee, for better or worse. I'm just not gonna sit here and listen to Beave pretend that Zelenki's appointment is 100% legitimate but somehow what happened to Maduro is off-the-charts illegitimate. You don't get to have it both ways. The Americans were bribing, conniving, manipulating, controlling, directing, guiding and everything elsing in Ukraine going back to the '90s. Fomenting rebellion/revolution is standard operating procedure for America. They did it in places like Cuba, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, Kurdistan (OMG the list probably includes at least one group in every ME country. They have trained and armed soldiers all over the world that ended up fighting against America in one way or another) and other places that are well-documented, and tried it in other places that you've never heard of. Wouldn't it be really weird if the US did all of that other work in Ukraine but just decided against stoking the flames at Euromaidan? Hell, the Dems even incited rioting and racial division in the United States ffs, when citizens and cops were getting murdered and billions of dollars worth of properties were being looted and destroyed. They also had paid agitators participating in riots AT THEIR OWN CAPITOL on J6th. So ask me again if I think that they had paid agitators at Euromaidan 🤣 "Nope. That's the one time in the last 50 years that riots occurred that ran parallel to America' designs but somehow I just know that the US gov't didn't get involved 😉" 1) Who would have that? Do you think the US gov't would leave such loose ends around? 2) And who would be dumb enough to accuse the US of being above that? Of course it happened before Z was elected. What would be the point of the US choosing election candidates after Z was already president? That doesn't even make sense. The war wouldn't be happening if Ukraine wasn't joining NATO, and you have been made well aware of that. You've also seen Russia demand it as a condition for ending the war. All I can do is show you the proof, I can't Understand it for you.

You're a Liberal. You cannot be won over by over of those things. Nor common sense. It's just the way it is with radical lefties. 🤷‍♀️

It would help if First Nations people were more demanding of transparency from their governments. It's a little late in the day for coming to the realization ordinary people in First Nations might be getting screwed. After decades if not centuries of being tarred with a brush that painted all First Nations badly it's perhaps understandable where the reluctance to come out in big numbers against their own people comes from - especially if it's mostly because a bunch of fed-up non-natives say they should. We need to set a better example by demanding more transparency and going after our own governments first.

very true. I doubt it's very hard to convince trump that biden treated someone unfairly or for political reasons in court.

Wasn't Chavez tried and jailed by his own people?

Well, that, and it’s been the clear pattern with a lot of things, with Trump undoing a lot of Biden actions and the fact that they did politicize the whole J6 prosecutions and the DOJ abuses with others like Pro-Life folks and even Trump himself.

robomarx thinks Greenland should have secure borders, but the US should not have secure borders. It's why robomarx should be deported with the illegal aliens.

It's actually pretty easy to believe whether you're trump fan or not. You don't have to believe that it's accurate, you just have to believe that he believes it. And that would be very trump

As god as my witness I do not understand why this is the case. Right now should be a time of extreme unification for the democrats, they should be holding conventions and getting their act together and figuring out the direction there party is taking in the light of their defeat and doing honest internal analysis, and I should be out there cleaning trump's clock. Not saying this is what I'm hoping for but this is what should be happening. Trump is pretty vulnerable on a number of fronts right now and the democrats aren't exploiting it at all. It's like the party has fallen and it can't get up. And where it is in the media it's for stupid things like the Minnesota fraud. Just from a political pundit point of view this is painful to watch

You are stealing the oil, Trump said so. He has said very little -almost nothing- about freedom and democracy and wellbeing of the Venezuelan people other than to arbitrarily dismiss the idea of holding an election or installing the winner of the last election , but has said quite a bit about how he plans to plunder their oil. And if the Maduro regime is so illegitimate and a gang of heinous “narco-terrorists” that are no different than al-Qaeda then why is he keeping them all in power?

This is why you drift left more times than not. It is a matter of being "moral or holy" because if you're not moral or holy then you are immoral and unholy. The Left, at its core, is both immoral and unholy. Many on the Right are immoral and unholy but the core values of the Right is to keep this country constitutionally together (which is moral and holy) - the left (democrats) is the opposite of that.

I suspect that the quality and integrity of First Nations leadership varies greatly, both in structure and in the quality of people. I guess? It's a pretty vague and not very helpful commentary. Goddess here is at least looking at numbers. The picture is incomplete, but the info is there and it's worth asking the questions. She is probably on to something here.

Why are people attempting to circle the wagons around a known illegitimate president, thug and drug trafficker?

Killing 50,000 civilians to get at a few terrorists is mass murder by any yardstick. Razing entire cities to get at a few enemies is a massive war crime. Denying food and medicine to tens of thousands of displaced civilians is a form of genocide.

Don't lie when it is easy so easy to disprove:

That is from when Democrats were normal. Now they are extremist, lwnjs.

.......... arguably Putin will make hay re: her family NAZI roots.

Wait... so, the "dictator" left office as required by law? ROFL

This from a guy who supported a democrat party that kept a leader in power by fake means for 3 years when he was mentally diminished and tried to hide it. We have no idea who was running the country and you're talking about coups. The first thing I said when I heard the date of the debates was so early is that they want to see if he can make it through it while they still have time to replace him. But you're perfectly fine with that level of fraud. So it's not that you think fraud is bad or that coups are bad, As long as it's your side that does it

He had no other choice but leave. The coup attemptfailed and the pathetic last ditch effort (whipping his low-IQ followers into "Pence is a traitor and the election was stolen" rage also failed. Nobody is buying your nonsense. Except the Jan 6 types. The guy has threatened to annex Canada and Greenland like the tin-pot Napoleon that he is. You have a brain, i suggest you use it. You've been conned like everyone else.

It probably needs to be said Juan Orlando Hernandez is a conservative...

Show some evidence for this claim.

Lol. Wait. Ewwww!

Upping Trump's bounty doesn't make it legal to try Maduro in the US instead of the ICC. Nor to STEAL Venezuelan oil.

Yes, you asked why he pardoned the Hondorus President, and Trump explained why. Again, I also askedI if you needed me to go find that for you. Instead, you go off on this silly obfuscation game of yours... even now, you conflate my telling you an objective fact about if you want to know why, go see what Trump said, with my believing him about Maduro, which is not what we were even talking about nor my stating I believed it. Oh, it is apparent you do not follow much of what is going on as I have to keep pointing these easily found public things out to you. I have been adding things this whole time...

Drugs are not a new random commodity and like most things are cheaper to make overseas. The reason drugs became more potent is that importers needed to make them smaller to avoid being detected. That's it. Everything else is just ordinary run of the mill supply and demand between willing consumers and producers. Always has been always will be. You guys tried with Oxycontin but it's not what consumers want hence the demand for other suppliers. The real narco-terrorists are consumers.

maduro come get me.mp4

It's not a brilliant political move in the slightest. Conning people and then not delivering is not a good look. It buys him time right now but already the polls and pollsters are quite clear the people are getting fed up with his inaction. And it's just been a year If he winds up going to the polls is April or May, which is a very real possibility if he can't get another 2 floor crossers, he may very well have a tough time holding on to his minority. At the very least it'll be worse. And he'll be extremely vunerable due to a very long list of broken promises where things simply aren't happening, Moving forward it won't be very long before alberta realizes he's been playing them. To be honest i think smith knows and is setting him up for this. When albertans figure it out all the 'western alienation' sentiment is going to come back 10 fold. Just in time for the proposed referendum. You have to be a little more subtle in your lies and spread them out over a little longer time. "Hey we can just lie to everyone" is not political brilliance.

How did I know this was going to be another lazy spambot thread? LOL

I agree wholeheartedly. We should incorporate an idea local First Nations people hereabouts insisted on when it came to their band negotiating a treaty with the government. Process Guardians....human witnesses who can observe record and report back to the community what they hear and see being done on the communities behalf. The best most important revolutions are often those that coalesce around indigenous aspirations.

Pierre Trudeau and Jean Chretien had proposed 'The White Paper' back in 1969. "The 1969 White Paper (officially entitled Statement of the Government of Canada on Indian Policy) was a policy paper proposal set forth by the Government of Canada related to First Nations. Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and his Minister of Indian Affairs, Jean Chrétien, issued the paper in 1969. The White Paper proposed to abolish all legal documents that had previously existed, including (but not limited to) the Indian Act, and all existing treaties within Canada, comprising Canadian Aboriginal law. It proposed to assimilate First Nations as an ethnic group equal to other Canadian citizens. The White Paper was met with widespread criticism and activism, causing the proposal to be officially withdrawn in 1970. The White Paper proposed legislation to eliminate Indian status. Indigenous people would be granted full rights as citizens instead of being regarded as wards of the state. First Nations Peoples would be incorporated fully into provincial government responsibilities as equal Canadian citizens, and reserve status would be removed; laws of private property would be imposed in Indigenous communities. Any special programs or considerations that had been allowed to First Nations people under previous legislation would be terminated. The Government believed that such special considerations acted to separate Indian peoples from other Canadian citizens." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1969_White_Paper Just imagine how things might be today if they didn't back down with this more sensible proposal.
