Canada, Canada, Wherefore Art Thou Canada?

A tale of incompetence, or of deliberate obfuscation?

We may never know, but it's a salutary story that leaves Canada ... well, apparently in some sort of legal limbo (don't quote me, I'm not a constitutional lawyer!).

If this could happen to Canada, what other prior colonies might be similarly affected?

And how might this affect the coming changes that 2025/6 may or may not bring forth?

Not to mention anybody with a "Canadian passport"?

We Need a New Paradigm that Implements People Power

Since time immemorial, humanity has been organised into groups - some cooperating, some fighting, some dispersed, some concentrated geographically, but in general all under some form of leadership.

If we believe the history books, then these leaders eventually developed into hereditary leadership families known as "Royalty".

Naturally, individual leaders cannot be everywhere at once giving people instruction and judging aberrant behaviours, so the concept of Royal Courts that administered each locality on behalf of the monarch was instituted.

Likewise the monarch could not know everything that perhaps he needed to know, so the concept of the advisory council (Witan in Old England) was born where the monarch could pick the finest brains in the land before determining on any particular course of action. From these beginnings arose our current "Parliamentary Democracy".

Nevertheless, as time moved on, the legal and judicial concepts of the Corporation evolved, to take care of the operation of large enterprises which needed to be organised in order to pursue large projects (good and bad) that reached beyond home shores and were thus beyond the capability of any one person or nation to control - so were the various East India Companies formed, to loot the ships and resources of foreign nations.

We now find ourselves in the situation where the corporate oligarchy has become immensely rich and powerful, indeed sufficiently rich and powerful to control whole nations by corrupt means, and to get away with it, since all information control, alongside judicial control, is also under their own corporate control.

We have sleep-walked into a corporatocracy, accountable only to its shareholders. Thus have the links to the formal power structures of nation states and associated governments of the people been traduced in favour of effective government by immensely rich but unaccountable corporate oligarchs whose motivations do not necessarily align with the normal human scruples of living in peace and prosperity with our neighbour. It's more a case of those who control all the corporations win, and those who exercise the control do not necessarily appear on the shareholders registers.

Secret societies of all kinds also exist for a reason, and that reason doesn't include accountability to humanity.

Result: World Wars and colonialism on a grand scale.

We now appear to be witnessing the collapse of the corporate oligarchy on a global scale. It's going to be messy beyond our imagining, because there is no obvious organisational focus on the other side to which populations may gravitate, but a new world will somehow have to emerge.

It will be out with the old, in with the new ... but what will the new look like?

Well, we've tried "Royalty", we've tried "Parliamentary Democracy", we've degenerated into "Oligarchy" / Fascism (rule by government-corporate "partnership"), and it has not worked. Various attempts both current and historical have also tried theocracy, or rule by religious dogma, but that doesn't work too well either, being inherently inflexible, intolerant, and supremely reluctant to change.

And by now we are all at least acquainted with Klaus Schwab and his nascent New World Technocratic Order where we will all be subsumed into a technocratic control grid, managed by the marvels of AI. In other words, "computer says no" slaves to the system.

What about that old-fashioned American idea, a government of the people by the people and for the people? After all, as someone famous is once reputed to have said, the Americans always come up with the right answer, but only after they have tried everything else first.

What to Make of the Musk Maniac?

Elon Musk, a fabulously rich entrepreneur, who supposedly made his money creating new and very popular services such as PayPal, innovations such as Tesla self-driving autonomous vehicles, and who is also a defence contractor (well, a man must make his living where he can), boasts a close relationship with "the Donald" (and did I mention "X"?), is now seemingly entertaining himself by adopting a new role: the scourge of malfunctioning governments!

A tweet or two from Musk and the snowflakes in said malfunctioning governments clutch their pearls, grab for their smelling salts, and between hyper-ventilations write all kinds of opinion pieces declaring that he must be controlled, preferably silenced, lest he inflame their easily-deceived moronic voters into believing that changes may be desirable at the next elections! And (Shock! Horror!) he isn't even a politician, so what on earth does he think he's doing?!

He's setting an excellent example to the rest of us - he's doing his own thinking, coming to his own conclusions, and actually giving voice to them. He's non-compliant with the status quo. He's exerting his freedom to call for change.

What on earth will he think of next?

But isn't he doing merely what every democrat should be doing? Why else would we have elections?

Love him or hate him (and since they are mostly human and therefore imperfect, we might say that about any politician or media personality in the world), he is using his position to set us an example, to point out that democracy is messy, that nobody has a monopoly on right-think, and that to get a good election result we need popular opinion to coalesce around and vote for those politicians that have the right thinking about the pressing problems of the time.

Neither any one politician nor any one voter is going to have all the right answers, or even ask all the right questions, so we will need a varied team who are not afraid to set personal ambition aside and work together for the greater good according to their areas of expertise.

Look upon Musk as the grit in the oyster that prompts the creation of that increasingly rare pearl: a functioning democracy working for the benefit of the people. In these fractious controlling times, he's one of the few who are big enough to do it and get away with it.

Fulford Report - Monday 6 Jan 2025 - War Incoming?

The recent multiple false flag attacks get some analysis, Congress is supposed to ratify the Trump presidency today 6th Jan (but will there be Congressmen available to do this?), the fog of war has literally descended across the US and elsewhere (fog in winter? Who'd a thought it?), and China is up to no good (just for a change).

Yes, apparently things are happening, but to what ends remains as impenetrable as ever.

Have matters reached peak pandemonium yet?

I fear not quite, but what do you think? (Modest subscription required for full access)

A tale of two cities .. well, one city and a town I suppose would be more accurate.

Whilst by no means typical of towns and cities across the nation, perhaps these may be thought to become so if we simply extrapolate current rates of deterioration for a few more decades. Of course there will always be better places to dwell (where else would the well-to-do live?), but as pointers to the typical urban homescapes of the future, perhaps these vignettes serve a purpose, a reminder that local civilisation involves purpose as well as, perhaps more than, comforts.

When one purpose fades, how to find a new purpose? This seems to be a relevant question that somehow doesn't get much asked, yet surely it needs to be the first question for which any aspiring politician hopeful of election should be shouting his answer from the roof-tops.

First up - Birkenhead.

Second up - Oxford.

Make of these what you will.
