Bud: Hello, Comrades ... , Dubai, Daycare

Hello, Comrades, this is your Rogers cable program

The CRTC, after intense opposition, finally disallowed or made it more difficult for al-Jazeera to be shown in Canada. However, the CRTC seems to have no problem accrediting nine Communist Chinese propaganda channels. Nothing that will appear on those "News, opinion, entertainment" channels that is not heavily censored by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Tiannamen Square only happened because the students attacked the noble army, was the official Chinese media line. As some commentator stated, "That is like saying that the European Jews provoked the Nazis into gassing them." These programs' sponsors are the same Communist ideologues, who "sacrificed" 60 million Chinese lives to the insane whims of Chairman Mao. Mind control is the only game in town for these folks. Their control of what the Chinese can see via the internet is almost total, despite the work-arounds by a few. And to capture Chinese sales, Google (along with others) agrees to help them censor it. Now Rogers wants to make a buck by allowing undiluted Communist propaganda to reach our Chinese immigrants, one of our immigrant groups who have provided Canada with real added value.

One of these stations produced a documentary called "Attack America", which glorified the Sept 11 massacre. It was widely aired in China. Once ensconced, how long before that type of blatant message will be beamed into Canadian households? Of course, the initial programs will be air-brushed a bit. The Chinese propaganda machine might be bloody-minded, but it is not stupid. Baby steps before the quickstepping jackboots is a classic technique of all totalitarian regimes. Bloggers must spread word of this new Trojan Horse tactic, before it is too late to ever rescind this CRTC/Rogers decision.

Every dictatorship loves it when the spotlight shifts from them to one of their other despotic brethrern. We can't pay attention to the never-ending atrocities in Darfur because we have to worry about Iraqi civil war, or a nutbar nuclear attack from Iran. The Chinese see this diversion of attention and push their propaganda outreach. They have studied our porous "diversity" edicts and have used them to gain admittance. They have also not missed the move to the left in Latin America. That is another fertile battleground for their influence and propaganda. But we are not a banana republic, which has a Foreign Minister like Bolivia's, who stopped reading books because he found all the wisdom he needed in studying his ancestors' wrinkles. (An unbelievabe but true revelation in the Feb. 24 National Post) Canadians are supposed to be dedicated to the democratic progress. Let's start to prove that by forcing this blatant Communist propaganda off our airways.

Dubya -- over to Dubai

One can only shake one's head, when the news comes out that Dubai, that the United Emirates might take over the running of key American ports. Gee, why not cut out the middle man and just appoint Osama bin Laden to do it? Speaking of the UAE, in the late 90's the CIA could have killed Osama and his chief of staff. However, Clinton cancelled it because Osama was entertaining some Sheiks from the EU. Mustn't disturb that oil pipeline. Dubai has been implicated in sending money to al-Qaeda operatives. Two of the Sept/11 terrorists hailed from there. And America thinks Dubai should run all the major eastern seaboard ports? Insane.

Even Kuwaitis, who were liberated mainly by the U.S. in the first Gulf War, now have a negative opinion of their saviour. And Kuwaiti al-Qaeda members keep getting caught in Iraq. Have they forgotten who tried to invade them? The tears of the world might be a constant, but so is the incredible illogic.

The NDP daycare demand

Jack Layton is terrified that Stephen Harper's daycare vision will prevail over Jack's government-run version. If you want a left-wing government indoctrinating your kids, this is a swell idea. If you think the federal gun registry came in way, way, over cost, but was worth it, you will love the old fed's daycare plan. And won't the ever-rapacious building contractors and lobbyists love it also?
