Trump wants to have a Nafta Deal by October 1.
Fat chance.
If he wants a deal by Oct 1.
He should call it a deal as it is.
After all, Canada is not in a bind.
He is.
And we Canadians
have read his book
and developed our own book called,
The Art of the Smarter Deal.
And hey, we have all winter to wait, eh?
Go try El Mejico!
After all, you started this!
There is no such thing as a free trade agreement
which is laced with tariffs!
Canadians will never agree to a trade mediation
presided by American judges only.
Canadians will never agree with
the intimidating end-the-agreement clause
at any time the US wants to.
Canadians will never agree to be a dumping ground
of goods that the US has to throw away as waste.
Canadians will never get its Canada First Policy
behind the America First Policy.
Tariffs will never supplant America’s lost revenues.
If America wants to have the trade deal with Mexico,
then it should.
If America believes that Nafta is stalled because of Canada,
hey, Nafta was going great before America started
tweaking it for more money.
If America believes that Canada is stalling,
hey, Canada would rather wait for another
less bullying American government,
EH?
(So, lay on MacDough, er, MacDuff!)
From the way this piece is written
and the words used,
I may be able to deduce
and determine the identity.
But I would rather not.
This is an amazing piece of work
and I never could have done any better.
Somehow this essay warms my heart
against this cold Canadian winter
which is about to start.
And so the US changes its tune again…
instead of issuing a warning not to attack IDLIB,
(presumably to prevent the discovery
of the huge munitions cache
and the stockpile of chemical weapons
that the foreign mercenaries use
regularly in Syria to put the blame on Assad),
the US now warns against the use of chemical weapons in Syria.
Now the chemical weapons is on the rebel side, remember?
Now how can the Syrian army use this.
Besides, has anybody ever realized that the Syrian army is winning?
Why would they use chemical weapons and have the world
blame them on this.
But as I said, Trump telegraphs his punches
and broadcasts his low blows
This is another of this low blows.
I surmise that there will be a report
of another chemical attack as the Syrian army
gets closer to the city.
And then of course the Syrian army will be blamed for it.
You know,
just like the Buk missile bringing down the MH17
so as to have the Ukrainians blamed for it?
Those foreign mercenaries are really crafty.
(street-to-street fighting only with snipers used against tow missile gunners)
Trump issues a warning
not to attack the last Syrian rebel stronghold
of IDLIB, stating humanitarian reasons why.
This is contrary to what he would caution
his Saudi Arabian lackeys to do
against the towns of Yemen.
If I read him correctly,
since he is one to telegraph his punches
and broadcast his low blows,
the downfall of IDLIB would spell grave consequences
against the American enterprise.
A determined envelopment of the town would yield
a huge cache of munitions
and THE STOCKPILE
of chemical weapons,
plus the complement of top rebel leaders
and their mercenary advisers.
Thusly the town’s fall would initiate
the last of American regional influence
outside of Israel.
(Strafe outside defenses only, don’t use bombs)
New trade agreements with Mexico
and/or Canada,
may be named Nafter,
or Nafta after Trump.
It is his obsession to have his name
in all agreements involving the US.
The truth is, the American coffers are empty.
Efforts to fill it up with arms sales, sanctions and tariffs
are not getting the expected results.
America’s infrastructure is in a rut,
er, rot,
and US dollars are getting printed
as fast as the ink holds out.
Wall street stock values are up not because
of the progress of the corporations
but simply because people buy their stocks.
If people sell their stocks,
see how fast the share values go down.
Nafta is not a rip-off
as Trump says.
On the contrary it is the only means
that the US can dump
products to Mexico and Canada.
The excess by which milk is produced in the US
is enough to fill a lake.
And Trump blames Canada for not accepting this excess.
Canada is less populated and produces milk
just enough for consumption.
Canada is also shifting interest to foreign made cars,
like the Mini Cooper.
The US is not that important a trading partner
if Canada starts to look to Cuba
and Venezuela
and Syria
and Russia for trade.
Canada should also consider building oil tankers.
It should also beware of what Trump promises now.
A NAFTER sunset review
is similar to an intimidating
sanction clause.
Any deal with the US should take into consideration
that Trump cannot remain in office
for the next 7 years,
and that there will be less demand
for the USD currency after this.
A business hint would be :
SYRIA will be needing
heavy equipment operators.
(I would rather that Canada terminate NAFTA and let the buyers and sellers do their thing and thereby establishing their own level of business)
Nomi Prins
has three books on her name :
Collusion,
It Takes a Pillage,
and
All The Presidents’ Bankers
all in which she brings out
in a style as straightforward
as the manner in which she writes her name,
the attempt to dominate the financial world
by hook
and mostly by crook.
This American enterprise has come under a new motto:
America First.
Nomi Prins
Such revelations as Nomi provide
cause more flurries of smokescreens
that the US and the UK drum up
to hide their real intent
of world financial domination
by causing enough furor to divert the attention
from the shenanigans.
The WMD scare, the Novichok,
the Russian meddling, the tariffs,
Iranian nuclear testing,
North Korean missile launchings
Isis, Isil, Taliban, Yemen,
all these divert attention from what has been
the secret operation—–
PAX AMERICANA !
In this world situation when achieved
nobody, not one,
will be able to do anything without American permission.
To top it all
not even those involved in this project
really know what they are aiming for.
Well, the jig is up
and the rigging is exposed.
And almost everybody is
shying away from using the
American dollar!
See what happens next.
(think about it, Washington does not need a Special Counsel, it needs a Special Auditor, instead)
The Saudis bombed a school bus
killing children.
They are putting out a message
or messages.
They are giving a warning for the young people
to come home when the king says so.
Also that the Saudis have the bravado
and are not actually homosexuals,
and that they are not pedophiles
who would abuse children sexually
but instead slay them wantonly.
Such an act of killing children
makes the Saudis worst than
the terrorists that they support.
Such a king like this one
is portrayed in fairy tales,
only thing is they are called ogres.
Comes now from the broken horizon
is the new Scourge of God.
Formed from the binding of
Israelis and Saudis,
this Scourge will attempt
to undermine the divinely established
base of the Roman Catholic Religion.
As if this attempt will provide diversion
from what appears to be losing enterprises
against Yemen and Gaza.
Even with their combined might
and a powerful sponsor
this attempt will be futile
because the rest of the world
are not really impressed.
Besides,
It is written,
attacks on the Priests
will be started every year,
and will end before the next year.
Mark my words!
These attacks will do little
to bury the Church.
This Scourge will actually ravage itself.
(Is it not true that God will not choose a Scourge to ravage His own Establishment?)
Those that inherit the mantle of
the Disciples of Jesus
are called Priests.
Bishops and Archbishops are also priests.
The Pontiff is also a priest.
They all undergo extensive training
to learn how to teach
the Words of God.
And to withstand the assaults
against the Sacraments of God.
The Roman Catholics are well aware
that priests are also human beings
and being so they may fall into
the temptations of the flesh.
More so because Priests are celibates.
These abuses done by Priests are ignored by
Catholics because the focus of respect
falls on their vestments, their work of delivering
God’s Sacraments to the faithful.
Indeed God’s Sacraments is to be worshipped;
not the Priests,
but their vestments.
Priests are holy
when they perform the functions
delegated to them By God.
Benedicta tu

Proposition:
using a lottery draw machine similar to that one just shown
if ALL the balls were drawn
and the order of numbers were noted down
and the balls were reloaded and drawn again
using the same procedure
if any of the first seven numbers drawn on the first draw
are identical to any of the first numbers
drawn on the second draw
then the suspicion is initiated that these identical
numbers were rigged to be drawn.
Likewise,
if any of the last seven numbers drawn on the first draw
are identical to any of the last numbers
drawn on the second draw
then the suspicion is initiated that these identical
numbers were rigged not to be drawn.
And
if this happens again on the third draw
the suspicion is aggravated
that the lottery is actually rigged.
How to check on this proposition?
The National 649 lottery admins never do.
the next succeeding draw is not presented.
However,
the Canadian Lottomax does, unwittingly.
The extra draws for that day are listed down
as extra prizes
and the same lottery machine is used (hopefully)
and the same numbers are reloaded (hopefully).
You can check.
Rigging The Lottery
Now where were we?
Oh yes, I was so rudely interrupted by the night.
Well, what I mean by rigging the lottery is actually altering the system of draw in such a way as the randomness is lost, resulting in the numbers that are drawn are not what is meant to be the winning numbers. Consequently, this would also imply that causing some numbers NOT TO WIN will be termed as rigging the lottery.
Lottery draws are made using either mechanical or electronic devices. Computerized draws are commonly used for convenience what with less hands-on operations required. Once the computer is started, the winning numbers are displayed on the screen, and then printed. How can this system then be rigged?
Computers access memory banks, called registers, at lightning speeds and displays the number selected when the accessing is stopped. It must access the registers to select each number one after the next, otherwise it may display similar numbers at the same time. It may not access the numbers randomly, rather it goes through all the numbers serially, one by one, until the command tells it to stop, and the number it points to is the one displayed. This number depends upon the time that the accessing is stopped. Therefore the term random generation is a misnomer because the computer reads its registers one by one consecutively. The random generation happens when it is randomly stopped.
But the rigging does not occur at the time that the computer is accessing its banks. The rigging happens after it has stopped to read a number and is ready to display the number.. A side program kicks in, either inherent to the software or to the computer, which is executed with nobody noticing. This side program may ignore the number that is selected when comes any pre-programmed event, such as a date, or day of the month, or machine numbers, or passwords, or a combination of any event that changes. The computer afterwards displays a number that it was pre-programmed to display.
The rigged computer will, of course, not display a set of numbers on any event that it comes up with, more than once, or it will be noticeable.
Rigging of computerized lotteries may also happen the other way around to prevent instead some numbers from coming up for a prolonged number of draws, giving bettors an advantage particularly if they are wheeling their numbers.
Also, more ingeniously, the computer may “borrow” and select a number from another lottery system which was drawn earlier.
Now if this is not interesting enough for you, wait till we come to the mechanically-drawn lotteries.
From out of the blue comes America
trumpetting the call to talk to Putin.
This is after blaming Putin for everything bad
that happens all over the world.
And after snubbing him in the last G7+1 summit
which putin attended
and which Putin had to dine alone
by himself.
Suddenly Trump becomes a very willing
and accommodating fan of Putin.
What for you may ask?
Putin now is the target
to become the next feather in Trump’s cap
or another trophy around his belt.
Putin will become the next stage prop
to skirt around the wall that the EU is
putting up against Trump.
Or a pin to tickle the rib of Xi Jing Ping.
Sad to foil him again.
Putin is riding the crest of a favorable international popularity
brought about by the Sochi Olympics and FIFA 2018.
Disarmament talks?
NO WAY!
America leads Russia only on two things:
Aircraft carriers and drones.
Furthermore, Russia has now been successful
in solidifying his own international club
made up of mostly very progressive
and much populated countries
of Brazil. India, and China,
also Iran, Turkey and Syria.
Now tell me,
what would Putin want from America?
Russia has withstood American sanctions ever since
and has stood its ground amidst adverse
Western propaganda
and unjustifiable denouncements.
And who would charm Putin,
the bully Bolton?
HAH!
No way will Putin allow the US
to have a piece of Syria,
nor even talk about the Iran deal.
Trump now feels the initial pangs
of being alone and ostracized.
And Putin just might have the heart
to throw him a rope
to climb out of the hole
he has dug for himself.
Putin, like Kim Jong Un,
is not only smart.
He is also shrewd.
Like Kim Jong Un.
This is the Trump solution
to the immigration problem.
Now he picks on children.
I said it was getting difficult to call Trump stupid!
Now I find it easy.
He called Canadians smugglers!
Now how low can a President get?
If he were not stupid
he should realize that shoes,
the example that he cited,
are covered by DUTIES,
and not TARIFFS
And getting them in to Canada freely
should satisfy the limit of $250.
There are no shoes in America worth $250.
They are also available in Canada
and at a cheaper price.
(With NAFTA, shoes are not even covered
by duties, so no smuggling there.)
I believe also that the foreign and domestic problems
are overpowering him.
Particularly when more than half the Americans
have lost faith in his abilities.
At least Canadians are not a national security risk anymore.
They are just plain shoe smugglers!
Is Trump smart enough to notice that Canadians
have never attempted to migrate to America
by illegal means?
For Canadians,
America is not worth that much to aspire for!
(Trump is losing it!)
This is what I think
and you should read this
because this is one of the very few times
that I will write it.
This is not a guess now
This is what I think.
I believe that it is still a choice for anybody,
and for this matter any people,
Americans included,
to buy anything
from anybody or any place.
One does not blame the merchandise
nor the seller if one pays for it.
Therefore if America imports from any country
it is presumed that America needs to import from this country
not from anywhere else
and not any other merchandise
and not with any other price.
In other words, why does America believe that it is unfair
for them to import goods that they think they need
and then impose tariffs to punish the sellers?
Do you now see why others call them
“ugly Americans”?
They think they own the world.
There was a time when Americans were worshipped, idolized,
and treated as Gods.
But that was the time when they were “liberators”.
Today they are simply “meddlers”
and bring other people to heel
just to maintain the US dollar prominence.
Today the Americans are becoming like
the North Koreans.
They are being brainwashed
and they have brown shirted people to do this.
The American States combined as the United States are still lucky.
They still have their Congress untainted.
This should prevent them from seeing
goose stepping policemen.
The Americans now have
less taxes, more employment,
and economic progress.
Therefore they do not now need to be brainwashed
like the North Koreans.
No More!
The Trump Apocalypse Horses
proceed to run roughshod over all
that bars their way.
Note that Trump’s populace asked for
tax deductions, employment
and labor improvements.
They did not ask for tariffs,
denuclearization, Iran deal cancellation,
and NAFTA removal.
These was all Trump’s ideas.
The American Congress may be able to rein in these horses.
But it needs more Democrats and less Republicans.
Or more Wipers!
(very nice dress!)
Tactical Errors and choice of armaments
can cost the war.
HAH!
A respite from the rantings of somebody we know.
Shucks!
And at a time that
The Voters are starting to get a clearer profile
of the man who will make America great again,
for a time,
at least.
There is the danger of him putting the country
in a serious predicament worldwide
wherein no amount of signature cancellations
and reneging will amend the situation.
Right now what Congress need is more Democrats.
Or even Republicans who have more spine and savvy
to understand that the institution that makes the laws
have now been commandeered
by somebody who is making his own laws.
The root of the American economic problem
still escapes the minds of their big economic geniuses.
If they did, America would never have the problem
of budget deficits, trade deficits, large credit accumulations,
trade wars, US dollar under valuation, and etc.
Employment, repatriation of businesses, tarrifs,
wage increases, wall street stock price manipulations,
are inutile solutions.
The root of the problem is staring them at the face
and no ouija boards, seances, fortune tellers,
nor witches’ cauldrons will help them.
Some of them howl like wolves, too.
God Bless America
Land that is loved.
Trump continues his beef against Canada’s trade surplus
in his goofy effort to prove
that he was right in his last salvo.
More goof-ups.
The more he opens his mouth against Canada
the more difficult it is to refrain from calling him stupid.
I will not call him stupid, yet.
Probably, uninformed would be enough,
for courtesy’s sake.
No more Cry Baby.
Cry Guy will do for now.
And that even skips over Cry Boy.
His data about the dairy trade is everything but true.
Canada imports 5 times more milk than it exports to the US.
Furthermore—-
America has an oversupply of milk by the million gallons.
Canada is not about to allow dumping
millions of gallons on its soil
and pay for the process, too.
The POTUS is not now speaking
for the people of the United States!
(wait till Cry guy shifts topic to Softwood Lumber)
I did say that there will be shocking
days after this first meeting.
I guess that the first shock will not be a shock
to the press nor to Trump’s brownshirted minions.
The first shock will be a statement by Kim
that, since he did the first step of
destroying the nuclear installations,
Trump should do the next act.
Kim will add that there are so many promises
that Trump has broken.
Kim will need proof first of Trump’s good intentions.
Kim does not need American dole outs,
only allow China to trade with North Korea.
Kim will not say that China is already sending some
trade goods in thru the Yalu River in a trickle.
Kim will also want the Americans to pull out
a division or more of troops out of South Korea
for a start.
America has to do the move first before more talks
will ensue.
If Trump calls off the talks and walks away,
so be it.
Kim wins already because it will mean that Trump
as always breaks away from deals and negotiations,
and it will be up to Kim and Moon
to complete the peace treaty.
Trump thereafter goes back home
failing in both the G7 and the NK-US Summits.
I can feel now that Trump is more scared
than his brown shirted minions.
He’s stuck!
If the Democrats win the next election.
he gets impeached.
(my red line is still Canada, touch it and you get it. Get it?)
These fitness rooms are open 24/7
in Singapore.
No bodyguards allowed!
Nothing!
They are amused as to how Trump
keeps acquiring the rope that
he needs.
They know that the other party
has created a monster.
