China gov't influence over American politicians

2007 - CSIS, Canada's equivalent of CIA, takes the unusual step of going around the elected govenment to talk to press directly about how China has begun infiltrating our Government and institutions and that it presents a genuine threat to our nation. It is greated with "Meh - alarmists. If we get close to them our democracy will rub off on them and they will change." Meanwhile, what was actually happening was just people selling out their country and its future, while strengthening China, for some cold hard cash. Straight up. And, what, now all of sudden its something we're going to talk about like it's news. This is a simulation.

In 2012, we also sold them almost all of our gold reserves.

 

A couple billion in gold is all we have left.

 

No wonder Trudeau is happy for a great reset.

That's what's so tragic and frustrating. People are living very comfortable lives - COVID payouts have brought luxury to so many who before only had enough to sustain an addiction, pay the rent, and get food from the food bank. Before COVID we were like a baby seal drifting out to sea on a broken-off piece of ice. We could still swim back, we could get someone's attention - there were options. Now we're like a baby seal floating across a lava field in an inflatable rubber dingy that is rapidly losing air and is also on fire. When the lava comes through the bottom and the flames lick up over the edges I'm going to have to resist the urge, over and over again, to punch anyone in the fact who in my presence expresses shock and surprise. I'm so tired of foolish - so tired of it.

Thats one thing I liked about Trump, I really doubt he was in it for money. Fame and attention for sure! Once you have unlocked the achievement of having more money than you could ever spend in 5-10 lifetimes you stop doing things for money, unless your a weirdo like Buffet! LOL. There are WAAAYYY too many politicians in it for the money!
