Mememonkey,
I simply pointed out that your “F**k Democracy, it’s mob rule statement is nearly identical to what Hitler said. You are the one writing paragraphs about how I feel, thinking inside your box, and showing how much you are filled with the very Russian anti globalist propaganda I have been researching. Every comment I have posted here are my own thoughts. To prevent losing half written comments on the site (which has happened a time or two), I write them up in Google Drive, then cut and paste. But all of my comments have been my research and observations and not agitprop spam as you think. (Thanks for calling it hard hitting though.) (Since you press the matter. If I were Dugin, I would help fund someone like Chris to help promote anti-Fed propaganda to the intellect crowd. And if that were true, if I was Chris, I wouldn’t respond either.) I have responded to every question I know of, but I don’t have the time to get into a discussion with everyone on every matter.
I know that Canada balanced their budget along with Clinton in 96 and kept it balanced until 2008, even with a socialized health care program, like most democratic countries. I know that Reagan, and both Bushes greatly increased annual deficits and that both Clinton and Obama dramatically decreased them. And yes I know that the Democrats are corrupt too, they are at least half as corrupt as the Republicans who worship corruption. I see through every Democratic corruption you mentioned, but I also see how much corruption on the Republican side that you are leaving out. And you accuse me of living in a fairytale propaganda matrix where you think one side of the the corporate plutocracy is noble.” I see right through your Russian anti globalist propaganda too. You are making your love for Russia quite clear. But the people I have met from Kosovo love the Americans for saving them from the bloodshed. The people they blamed the most was the media pushing hate propaganda on the airwaves. Like what I see in the US, especially with Alt Right groups like Breitbart and Infowars, the very media Dugin is supporting.
I disagreed with Bush and Cheney’s illegal war so much that I migrated to Canada. It was an 8 year plan. I finished up my career as an environmental teacher where my students were very familiar with this graph from the Crash Course.
So while all of those things awful things you just blame the Democrats for (but hardly the Republicans) were going on, I was teaching 9th graders about the living planet we are destroying, the energy choices that are available to us, and how much they cost. I told them how conventional oil has peaked, that there is plenty of unconventional oil, but most of it is too expensive to get out of the ground. I shared T Bones Pickens estimate that it would cost $14 trillion to make America energy independent with oil and gas. And then I showed them how America could be energy independent for $4.5 trillion using energy conservation and alternative supply instead.

All to give them a better understanding of their world so that they could make the wisest choices for their future. If I had my way we would have skipped all of those wars (including Russia and the drones) you just mentioned and spent $4.5 trillion on alternatives to give them a sustainable future. But that future has been stolen from them. Trump is going to further undermine the scientific community, make a bunch of profits for his buddies in the oil industry, and ship those kids I taught off to fight endless wars that destroy their future.When Obama got elected, the few people I told, kept saying that I should cancel my Canadian plans. But I stuck it because I knew the impossible position the US was now in, that the Democrats would be edged on into more wars to prove their toughness, and that the very war profiteers that talked us into the mess would somehow blame it on Democrats somehow, which they are now doing.
Canada turned out to be everything I researched it to be, even better. A well-educated population that doesn’t carry around firearms. A socialized health care system that will ultimately save my family of four about $1.4 million over two generations in medical cost. A well regulated banking system that is sound. A carbon tax that works. A neighbor that was the first to be arrested stopping the last attempt to put a pipeline through BC. (He approached the friendliest looking policeman and asked to be arrested please.) When I get citizenship I will be able to vote in both countries, thus doubling my voting power. (How is that for thinking outside of the box so far?) And BC schools just ranked #1 in reading, #2 in science, and #6 in math GLOBALLY.

Whereas in the US, Trump just appointed Erik Prince’s (talk about war criminal) sister Betsy DeVos to privatize America’s public school system so that she can help “advance God’s Kingdom.” https://dianeravitch.net/2016/12/13/katherine-stewart-betsy-devos-and-gods-plan-for-schools-and-america/
(The Conservative Christians are about to get the Theocracy they have been dreaming of. The question is which side is Trump really on, the Libertarian’s no war side, or the “bomb the hell out of them” Christian side. I would say that we are getting ready to go way deeper into debt for the many more wars.)
I have listen to Chris cast doubts about our central banking system for nearly a decade, but when I look into the debate in Canada it is none existent . In conversations with Canadian bankers and economist they are totally unaware of the debate raging in the US. “Why would anyone want to ditch all of the advantages of a fractional reserve system for all of the disadvantages of a gold standard” they ask. Upon further research (as I referenced in an earlier post) I discovered this battle to undermine the Fed goes back to 1933, when a handful of American industrialist tried to overthrow President Roosevelt and install a dictator demanding a return to the gold standard. Sorry to rip the lid off your box, but if you research further into the Austrian school of economics and its supporters like Ron Paul, you will discovered that they are quite proud to describe themselves as the good side of Hitler’s plan.https://mises.org/library/hitlers-economics
Reality is that we exist on a living planet. Chris does a great job showing us how our energy use is destroying that living planet. But all of our concepts about money and debt are all manmade and simply what we have led ourselves to believe. If we put as much effort into nourishing life as we did into making money our planet and humanity would be fine. The same thing with democracy and banking systems, if we put as much effort into nourishing and properly regulating them as we did to undermine them, they would probably work fine. As for myself and my move to Canada, I’ve cut my trash output and driving by more than half, walk to places 10x more, all of my electricity is hydro and therefore carbon free. And I still teach environmental science at an experimental high school to help kids make the wisest choices for the future.
