THE NEW REALITY-Canada and the USA as slave states to corporate wars.
Maps of the intransigent West are becoming dotted with failed states.

Nobody wants to talk about it. It can’t be true. We refuse to accept the world is constantly in flux. Whether it is geopolitics or climate change the world marches on with or without our permission. We fail to change the things we can, accept the things we can’t —- and fail to see the difference.
To be constantly adaptive and innovative requires a high state of consciousness political will, and diligence. The higher state of consciousness required is now blocked in the West. BLOCKED becomes a very key word as where we are blocked we are paralyzed in the present where adaptation and progress are beyond our reach .
The blockages are both self-imposed and imposed on us is by others. Too many of us are indifferent to the dynamic changes the world is going through. The West is now dominated by self-serving despotic fascist forces that are determined to impose their agenda on the world. They are are hell bent on establishing a global feudalism they control absolutely.
It is a naive and delusional pursuit when they only speak for 13% of the world’s population and the global extortion/ponzi scheme they have been running is collapsing rapidly as the multipolar world emerges with unstoppable momentum.
We fail to comprehend our Western cultures are enslaved to ideologies destroying our societies. War is the conspicuous ideology as it literally blows up our existence .
Where the Greeks new meaning the of “Pyrrhic” we refuse to acknowledge it.
The more insidious ideologies haunting our existence are neoliberalism, imperialism and neo-colonialism. These are the operating systems of our societies. All are anti-democratic, socially destructive, and any discussion of their omnipresence is suppressed by a traitorous media and political cultures.
Affluence is not a self-sustaining gift , it must guarded with diligence, duty, and accountability. Failure of ACCOUNTABILITY is the evil that has haunted the West for the past half century where we have allowed Democracy and decency to die on the vine .
The Philistines of ancient times now prevail.
We feel threatened by the harsh realities of our times and run from them like bawling children when we must face down the pure evil infesting our societies. We must accept that the evil did not arrive from foreign shores. There can be no scapegoating, no delusional behaviors. There must be a return to rationality, common sense and a good dose of altruism. These are self-generated and we must accept the responsibility and concede the enemy is within, and it us
Evil can only prevail where virtue takes a holiday and we have been on holidays in the West for too many decades
Those who speak for peace are regarded as traitors only because the malignancy of war is accepted as the norm.
Progressive change is considered threatening because it challenges static beliefs that need to be updated and adjusted to our times. We retreat into the “invincible present” when the future is knocking loudly at the door and begging our attention. Where we ignore future considerations it becomes an abyss we recklessly jump into and we are in free-fall. Today the abyss only becomes wider, deeper, and darker.
We like to think failed states only exist in the Second and Third Worlds. We can never see them as arriving in the First World--on our very door step. But they have arrived. There is much discussion of the USA being a failed state, and Canada in too many ways is a carbon copy of the USA — thanks of our open borders, and accommodating apologetic mindset.
It has never occurred to feckless Canadian elites that a strong Canada on America’s northern border might mitigate some of America’s darkest and compulsive appetites, as a true friend and not a just powder monkey serving the empire’s wars.
In the US the leading contender in the 2024 presidential race is desperately trying to stay out of jail while the incumbent by all reports should be in jail.
In Canada we have two neoliberal choir boys vying for the governorship of the ten provinces and three territories in service to Washington.
Both Canadians and Americans are so naive as to think elections make a difference, when all politicians are cut from the same cloth -the cloth of abandonment and betrayal— the greatest ever seen in world history. Western political and corporate elites have abandoned their populations to wage war on the world trying to save a ignominious empire from its inevitable collapse- as dictated by the cycles of history.
For the dissipated West the new reality is we should be building better futures for ourselves; instead we wage Pyrrhic wars, as the collapse becomes more and imminent.
As elites are enslaved to their megalomania and compulsive corruptions; populations are also enslaved; as the race to the bottom gathers greater momentum.
