They have launched a new campaign to demolish churches there. It's hard to conceive that kind of communism can still exist in our modern world. Telling someone they aren't allowed to be Christian or Jewish or Muslim. It is bizarre. That is not a free republic. <br /><br />This is why China should not have our oil rights.

05/22/2014
...The US Shale Oil Miracle Disappears<br /><br />05/22/2014 <br /><br />The US shale oil "miracle" has about as much believability left as Jimmy Swaggart. Just today, we learned that the EIA has placed a hefty downward revision on its estimate of the amount of recoverable oil in the #1 shale reserve in the US, the Monterey in California. As recently as yesterday, the much-publicized Monterey formation accounted for nearly two-thirds of all technically-recoverable US shale oil resources. But by this morning? The EIA now estimates these reserves to be 96% lower than it previously claimed. Yes, you read that right: 96% lower. As in only 4% of the original estimate is now thought to be technically-recoverable at today's prices.<br /><br />http://www.zerohedge.com/print/488800Just for the Recordnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-59413116929569500682014-05-22T16:41:56.351-07:002014-05-22T16:41:56.351-07:00Yup', I'm afraid you're exactly right....Yup', I'm afraid you're exactly right.<br /><br />The empty promises are turning out to be gassy mirrors, as you said they would.<br /><br />Government’s primary concern is not to protect its citizens or the economy. Instead, it aims to transfer more power, status, and wealth to the elite who control it (the One Bank and its oligarchs). And to do that, it must keep the masses sedated. <br /><br />As Charles Hugh Smith, chief writer at OfTwoMinds.com, explains:"The State has two core mandates: enforce quasi-monopolies and cartels for private capital, and satisfy enough of the citizenry’s demands for more largesse." <br /><br />What worries me is that the show can't go on much longer. There will come a time, quickly approaching now, when the fog machine runs out of dry ice and the curtain has to come down on the actors. The performances will be at an end and the props will be gone, either plundered or sold off. <br /><br />Regressive taxes can not be raised any higher on the rubes because they won't be able to take any more burden. And then who's going to be able to pay the sky-rocketing debt built up under this band of shameless grifters. Who's going to settle up with the bond-holding international loan sharks backed by the guns of freedom? We, the people are on the hook for that debt, and they are going to get their pound of flesh!<br /><br />Now I know the voters/rubes can kept sleeping for a long while; but the dawn approaches and there will be a wake-up call one fateful morning. <br /><br />Mark my words, the future is foretold by that siriusly bright light beaming on us from the east. And then the shite is going to hit the fan. <br /><br />The government of this province is rotten and headed for a financial default and/or a bout of vicious austerity, at just about the moment when Horgan will be ready to assume the premier's office (sorry, John, i have to call it as i see it). Social instability, including civil disobedience and a tax revolt, will be in the works, if anyone still cares for justice. Or else, we'll all have bow down and accept serfdom under their neo-feudal rule for good.<br /><br />Call it coincidence if you want; but I'd cal it a set-up by a bunch of bandits to stick the good guys with the bill for their dirty deeds.Jon Ghunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-91588823330954816392014-05-22T12:38:53.051-07:002014-05-22T12:38:53.051-07:00The Campbell/Clark BC Liberals are, Harper's f...The Campbell/Clark BC Liberals are, Harper's fascist satellite Party. <br /><br />Harper gives away our resources and also, our Canadian resource jobs to foreigners. Harper permits Communist China, to bring over their own cheap labor. Petro-China put in a bid to, *help* build the Enbridge pipeline, with their own slave labor no doubt.<br /><br />Even Harper's European trade deal? That only means, Europeans will also come to Canada to take our jobs too. That is in, Harper's trade deal.<br /><br />Christy Clark is doing exactly, as Harper is doing. Their theft of millions of our tax payers dollars, to pay for their economic and job action plans that don't exist. The jobs BC has are for foreigners and not for, the every day Canadians, nor for the people of BC.<br /><br />Harper is an evil fascist dictator. The Campbell/Clark BC Liberals are, every bit as a lying evil cabal, as Harper's scum is. <br /><br />Christy Clark is busy kissing the Chinese peoples butts, for votes and donations for Harper and for herself. Thousands of Chinese are, going to be here for, Harper's Northern BC mining plan.<br /><br />Another BC mill shut down because of a shortage of timber. Freighter after freighter of BC's raw logs, sail over to China. There is also Harper's asinine FIPA deal with Communist China.<br /><br />China also wants their history and culture, taught in our schools. There had better be a spare room, where our children can be. I don't want my little Granddaughter, anywhere near Communist teachings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-32924912037802829772014-05-22T07:19:24.365-07:002014-05-22T07:19:24.365-07:00http://www.smh.com.au/world/russia-and-china-in-30...http://www.smh.com.au/world/russia-and-china-in-30year-deal-for-natural-gas-20140522-zrks8.html?skin=text-only<br /><br />Christy, you're out.
