New tipping point: TRUST

I need to focus on my own concerns, but current political soap operas are closely mirroring things I've been talking about, on and offline, for several years - even words I constantly use.

In this article, the word 'flip-flop' is quoted (see below), and President George Bush also pokes fun at Arnold Schwarzenegger's English.

Meanwhile, New Conservative leader Stephen Harper criticizes Prime Minister Paul Martin for 'flip-flopping' on same-sex marriage, while his own party angles for anti-gay support among ethnic communities. (Before, Harper's tack was to tighten up immigration.)

Plus, some citizenship stuff: Judy Sgro and Arnie in the same month.

Kind of oblique comparisons, I know. Yet I believe politics and media timing between Canada and the U.S. are becoming more closely co-ordinated. Watch for this.

I suspect my nearly five years of psychotherapy have been recorded by security bodies. Based on what they may have learned, I predict the New Conservatives will try to gain an advantage over the Liberals - who have long held the coveted middle ground, particularly among recent immigrants - by appearing more reliable and trustworthy in a turbulent world. This strategy began during the 2004 federal election (searching for article...).

My predictions for 2005 and beyond: Conservatives on both sides of the border will market trust and reliability, while using a good dose of humour and upbeat smiles. (War? What war?) Prime Minister Martin and the Liberals will put up a limp fight, much like Democratic leader John Kerry has against President Bush and the U.S. Republicans. (Two parties, one goal?)

Like I said, I'm not anti-conservative. Conservative policies and viewpoints are necessary, helpful, and useful. What freaks me is how 'Divide-and-Conquer' elites deliberately create trouble, or even harm people and environments, in order to maintain power and serve their own greed.

"The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power. Not wealth or luxury or long life or happiness; only power, pure power....Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.... If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever." O'Brien to Winston [in the novel, 1984].

George Orwell 1984 1949 (Source.)

Ah, human nature - you gotta love it. We bicker amongst ourselves, yet never hold those in power accountable.

More thoughts on 'two parties, one goal' idea:

Howard Dean, former U.S. Democratic leader candidate, seemed real. His platform was apparently almost as conservative as George W. Bush's in most areas, but at least he wasn't a puppet, and he was anti-war. Democratic leader John Kerry seems more like a foil to Bush's lead. Kerry didn't bother to learn from Howard Dean's campaign, nor did he build any alliances. One almost wonders if the Republicans didn't help Kerry beat Dean to minimize any threats to the military complex President Bush is, and has been, developing.

  • Actually, I was writing about these things *before* they happened, or appeared in major news rags. My emails over the past several years show this; I'll post some later. I'm not claiming to be psychic: I'm being harassed, and I'm just pointing out that this information is being used to benefit those in power. No surprise there
