Communist China, indeed controls Harper.<br /><br />Harper is merging Canada into Communist China. Campbell worked, and still is working for Harper. Campbell sent BC mills to Communist China, along with our raw logs. Communist China, also owns BC mines. <br /><br />Harper's toady Boessenkoll has been placed in with the BC Liberals. There is no possible way, Christy is running this province....Harper is, and Communist China runs Harper. Everything of value in BC has been thieved, and is now gone. <br /><br />What can Germany do, if BC Ferries default on the loan? I guess they can take the Ferries back. There is nothing left of BC, that can even be thieved, let alone sell to pay Germany. Harper and the Campbell/Clark BC Liberals and Boessenkool, have totally wiped BC out. <br /><br />Spiteful Stevie, struck BC again. <br />There was a program to train the F.N. people to work BC mines. The people were so happy, they could at last, buy nice homes for their family's. Harper has given no more funds, for this program. Rumor has it....Christy's imported workers she claims BC needs, will be mostly Chinese. So, the F.N. people will be made to pay, for the opposition to the Enbridge pipeline. No doubt hoping to divide the F.N. people.<br /><br />Our province is merely going to be a pass through, to get the dirty tar oil, to Communist China.<br /><br />Obama is really pissed at Communist China. Their missiles and other weapons, have infected electronic components in them, made by Communist China. Seems it was more than a few country's terrible mistake, to buy electronic components from there. <br /><br />Obama is livid at Harper too. No wonder the U.S. is pulling their company's out of Canada. Perhaps the reason is more that our high dollar. Harper merely thumbed his nose at Obama. Doesn't matter to Harper, he cost Canadians thousands of jobs. Harper encouraged Canadians, to shop in the U.S. No matter for the billions lost in revenue for Canada.<br /><br />No wonder, the U.N. Security Council, refused Harper a seat. I had been so shocked, the U.N. refused Canada. Our country used to be accepted all around the world.<br /><br />In Canada, you can now be arrested, for reading a book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-65119959025171440972011-08-28T11:56:58.956-07:002011-08-28T11:56:58.956-07:00Thank you for that comment 8:44 am(J)

The thing is that this criminality is worldwide in the form of corporate fascism. Citizens are losing their standard of living in order to provide trillions to multinationals and especially the banks. The people of Greece and Ireland are experiencing extreme austerity measures in order to bailout the banks. This is the biggest wealth transfer in history with dollar amounts paid out to banks and corporations that are simply staggering and incomprehensible. Trillions and trillions have been given to banks who are actually bankrupt, while their top employees receive $144B in annual bonus money on Wallstreet alone. The level of lying is to the point of being absurd, however who calls out Michael Campbell on his ongoing economic nonsense or Pee Wee Harper on his Super Max prison insanity? It sure ain't Rupert Murdoch! How could anyone be so far dumbed down to have voted for Campbell or Harper when they both should be in jail for treason?
