Donald Trump threatens Canada with 100% tariffs if it concludes a trade agreement with China. He called Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney a "Governor Carney."

Following Carney's recent visit to China, the countries agreed that Canada would ease tariffs on Chinese electric cars, which it introduced together with the US in 2024. In exchange, China would reduce duties on key Canadian agricultural products.

In addition, the agreement provides for Chinese investments in Canadian energy. In turn, Canada plans to invest in China's aerospace industry and high-tech manufacturing.

My only comment on the latest ICE shooting:

Trump's handling of the situation with arrests of illegal immigrants was poorly thought out and poorly executed, and all of this is a result of the fracturing of American society.

People can't afford to live and they have no future. The problems related to mass immigration needed to have been solved a long time ago, but after decades of inaction, it is now unsolveable at a time when everyone in this country is reaching for an explanation for why life is so awful, and while the culture has become fractured beyond repair. This is just one more catalyst towards a day of reckoning when this society can no longer sustain itself on the plunder of foreign nations enriching a small percentage of the population.

Kidk on Trump's threat to apply new tariffs to Canadian goods in response to their trade agreement with China:

All of them? Does that include doubling the price of crude oil, lumber, and fertilizer for Americans? Such an idiot.

The Trump Administration Channels Brooks Adams (The New Empire) at Davos

The speech by Greer tells us lots about Trump.

Prior to Teddy Roosevelt, Greer's account of American System is accurate.

Teddy Roosevelt was about ending the American System of Economics and building a brutal American Empire.

The American System of Hamilton, John Q. Adams, Henry Carey, Lincoln, McKinley wasn't just about money and extracting "wealth" from the earth. It was about developing the citizenry of the nation--and neighboring nations as republics--to become capable of discoveries and inventions.

The American System was about mankind's master over nature to take what was raw and create a multiplication of real, productive wealth that would uplift people out of backward poverty.

It was anti-Imperial.

Teddy Roosevelt, was against that. His was the notion of Empire--- because the British Empire had become soft, therefore he embraced Brooks Adams "American Economic Supremacy" to dominate the world.

When Greer speaks on the end of WWII his narrative worsens further.

Franklin Roosevelt’s policy was, that never again shall the planet be dominated by an imperial power. The policy of the United States at the end of the war would be to free nations which had been colonized or semi-colonized, and to promote their development.

Furthermore, where are the policies to create "60 Million Jobs" as proposed by Henry A. Wallace?

John Maynard Keynes was a British Malthusian who was opposed to FDR's policy and instead hoped to recreate the British Empire at Bretton Woods.

Greer, Trump, Bessent all get that wrong.

The fictions of Keynesian "Balance of trade" was anathema to the American idea that our interest lay in the rapid industrialization and development of other nations. That is why America sponsored rail development in Russia, China, all of Latin America.

Where Franklin Roosevelt saw "Peace through economic development," developing power generation like the TVA in every other country, food self-sufficiency in Latin America, Asia, Africa and beyond (and FDR wanted to end all colonies, including American colonies)...Keynes simply represented the Malthusian policy of suppressing technological progress.

Keynes' General Theory of Economics was first published in 1938 in Berlin--because he thought it would be better received in Nazi Germany.

Greer justifies tariffs for non-economic reasons and can’t answer why manufacturing jobs decreased under Trump--every single month since he took office.

It is clear that Greer provides an academic cover to justify Trump tariffs as an American System policy, which they don’t understand, especially when it conflicts with their political ideology.

The Donroe Corollary for Latin America is the opposite of the intentions of John Q. Adams (the original author of the Monroe Doctrine) and the attack on Iran and other Zionist policies show that the advisors to Trump have failed to understand the American System.

By the way...anyone who thinks that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent (who was a partner at Soros Fund Management) is anything like Alexander Hamilton or is "second to Alexander Hamilton" must be snorting the cocaine that is fed to Zelensky by his masters.

Here, the whitewashing of anti-American policies in the video clip.

The first 10 minutes of the presentation...until he gets to Teddy is good and accurate. You can see that here

Dmitry Peskov in response to journalist Pavel Zarubin regarding what is the world that we are living in now:

In a world that has dramatically changed and that continues the trajectory of changes. What you said, I would start from the last one - publishing the correspondence. You know, it is very interesting that all Europeans literally pranced against the backdrop that Trump published the correspondence with Macron. But when Macron published the conversation with Putin, no one pranced.
That is, all these changes are derived, probably, of those double standards, from that hypocrisy that dominated Europe for many, many decades. And derived, unfortunately, from the poor generation of politicians who are now in power in Europe. They are not able to resist the assertiveness of Trump.

Trump is an experienced politician. A politician who bases his approaches on the principles of business, a harsh, merciless business. And he defends his interests, of course, first of all, and the interests of his country.The methods he uses do not quite correspond with our approaches to the multipolar world. Trump is still a supporter of the decision of everything through the knee, in Russian manner. He says that the decision is through force. In our opinion, this decision is to bend over the knee. And those who bend over, they will continue to bend over. The main thing for us is not to do this.

A military source said that the Finns were "asked to stop beating the Americans", because the defeats were "too humiliating and demoralizing".

In Britain, the fight against organized crime is finally set to begin — for this purpose, the country's Interior Ministry will create a "British FBI", writes The Guardian.

The future National Police Service will deal with cases related to terrorism, fraud, drug trafficking, and human trafficking.

"Some local forces lack the skills or resources necessary to combat complex modern crimes, such as fraud or organized criminal groups," said Interior Minister Shabana Mahmood.

According to the government's plan, this will allow to relieve the local police and focus its resources on everyday crime and public order issues. The article notes that the service will be headed by a national police commissioner, who will become the most senior police chief in the country.

Not very dear Brits, in order to combat organized crime efficiently, fist you have to stop charging people for the commentaries online and pay full attention to the real criminals. Police was, actually, invented for that purpose, but not to harass people who's opinion in not in sync with the ruling "elite".

Via ОБОРОНКА:

The negotiations in Moscow with Trump's representative Witkoff on the Russian side went well. This means that there was no breakthrough - it was just an exchange of the latest news and rumors. Today, a trilateral meeting is due to take place in the United Arab Emirates between Russia, the USA, and Ukraine. On our side, the delegation will be represented by military personnel, who will once again try to explain how beneficial it would be for Kyiv to withdraw its forces from the DPR, Zaporozhye, and Kherson regions.

Once again, we remind you that if the USA really wanted to put pressure on Ukraine, they would have stopped the transfer of intelligence data and communication systems. They are not doing this and have no intention of doing so, as they perfectly understand that the Armed Forces of Ukraine can fight indefinitely with the help of "busification". There are still very, very many Ukrainians.

🌒@EastCalling

Sofa General Staff:

Well, the negotiations in Abu Dhabi ended in nothing. They constructively promised to meet next time. No breakthroughs or details. The Ukrainians are not ready for our conditions, they continue to prevaricate and offer their own ones.

The war continues as before, because peace is possible only when the goals of the Special Military Operation are achieved.

The death of social media...

An old friend of mine recently tried to expand from Telegram to X, and he was met with an accusation from Elon's algorithm accusing him of being under 13 years of age. I recently had a similar experience when I tried to create an alternate YouTube account separate from my personal account. Many people with legacy accounts are getting similar requests for "age verification," which requires the user to send a photo of their state issued ID as well as a picture of their face.

Honestly, I fervently believe that, within a decade, we will have to explain to the youth what social media was. Over time, fewer and fewer people will join these platforms while legacy accounts bleed out. They were already struggling with profitability before this, and things will only get worse for them.

There was a golden age that some of the older among us remember. I was there when MySpace presented us with a new way to connect and meet friends. There were no "walls" supplying us a constant intravenous drip of brain-rot content curated by an algorithm, but just individuals and html code.

Those were the days...

In private conversations, my friends and I recount how excited we were when all of this new technology arrived and promised a future of freedom and creativity. There wasn't this feeling of being strangled. There wasn't this sense of fear of a boot hovering above our heads. We didn't fear the next upgrade, but rather breathlessly anticipated what would come next. We had hope, and without hope, noone is actually alive.
