Politicians only represent the people who bribes them with the most money. It it the same thing in all the so called “Democratic” European countries and the United States. People are angry because citizens tax money have been recklessly spent and their governments lost all tax payers money and gone into huge debt.
This video has some really solid statistics about Canadian peoples debt, the 30% senior citizen’s retiring and the glut of homes that will be entering the market that is going to drive home prices down.
It talks about how corporations has filled peoples head with ideas of a lifestyle that most debt ridden Canadian cannot really afford. This is a must watch, it is a hard look at the reality of things and the coming hardships.
Canadians now have taken on large amounts of debt and with interest rates so low, home sales presses on. However, it is not just mortgage debt that Canadians have added to their balance sheets, credit card and line of credit debt has been soaring as well. This basically is a recipe for a disaster similar to what happen in the United States running up to 2008 economic crash to happen to Canada in the future.
Things aren’t getting better for the middle class / regular people, it is only getting better for the really rich / wealthy people and corporations who aren’t really creating jobs right now.
Professional writer and organizer Felice Cohen makes things work living in New York’s smallest apartment that is close to all amenities and only blocks from Central Park. She lives by the philosophy of “Don’t Aquire What You Can’t afford”, which I think is great. People buy and collect too much “crap” these days and it just piles up. Watch the video it’s cool.
Here’s a funny incident in China, where a millionaire purchased a Lamborghini Gallardo and after a short while the engine cut out and would not run. He then had the Lamborghini Gallardo towed to the dealership and while towing it…the dealership damaged the body as well.
Next the dealership garage try to fix the engine problem but cool not and after complaining to the dealership manager about the body damage from the towing, the dealership refuse to be responsible for it.
Very interesting if you have 1 hour to spare to listen to some truth, oh… not the truth that the main street media and fake U.S Government report tells you. The ripple effects of the Japanese earthquake / tsunami and nuclear disaster is going to be huge but most people in North America think it will be fine…due to the limited amount of information that is getting out of Japan. Like the video says the Governments are not going to tell you when things go bad…they don’t want the public to panic.
Here are two videos with a University Professor who studies social events and history. Basically he sees that only the rich and ultra rich (corporations) are benefiting in the United States, which takes us back to the “Robber Baron” days. Rich and politicians get their way with elbow rubbing, whispering in cocktail parties and back room deals.
Now if you think about a social system where Corporations and Government are so closely intertwined that is called “Facism” and that resembles closely the system in Nazi Germany in World War II.
Few days ago, I was browsing the FutureShop.ca and on the front page FutueShop was having this 1 Deal-a-Day Promotion and on March 7th the deal was this spectacular deal on a 15.6 inch Acer Laptop.

If you have listened to Ben Bernake talk about the state of the U.S economy and about inflation last week, he basically shrugged it off. What Ben and the U.S government is doing is essentially lying to the American people…saying close your eyes there is no inflation, it is all in your heads. All part of tricking the american public into thinking that the economy is better than it actually is. The truth is that the economy is extremely fragile and inflation is out there and may put a stop into this fake economic recovery that was stimulated by printing more and more U.S dollars, sending the U.S dollar down and increasing the federal debt pushing it closer to 15 trillion.
Last year around autumn, August-September 2010 period Gerald Celente’s Trends Journal group predicted that the youth of the world will unite and protest against their governments, because food prices, oil prices and general living expenses are going up while their are no jobs and wages aren’t going up in-line with inflation.
Since then student’s in the U.K protested because the U.K government raised school tuition fees over 200%. As recent as last month Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Yemen have protested and some have gotten extremely violent.
