Gaza protesters ignore three essentIal steps for peace in Palestine

admin — Sat, 06 Sep 2025 12:21:50 +0000

The following three steps are essential to peace in Gaza:
1 - Recognizing a sovereign Palestinian state
2 - Bringing together a internationally recognized "Government-in-Exile"
3 - For that Government-in-Exile to then be empowered through international law to then demand United Nations Peacekeepers.
Protests to demand that Israel stop the genocidal bombing of Gaza will not result in peace. You can donate to an effort to constitutionally develop a "Government-in-Exile" by making

The legitimate and acclaimed candidate in Thornhill for the Liberal Party of Canada, should have been Raymond Samuels. However, it is apparent that the Liberal Party did not want someone black representing the party in Thornhill. So, what did they do, you might ask?

Liberal Party elites parachuted Liane Kotler into the riding and then simply declared that there's no need for Liberal members to vote on which candidate they would prefer, because the election

Canadian petition asks the United Nations to declare Trump to be a Nazi

There's a new petition which seeks to ask the United Nations Assembly to declare Trump to be a Nazi. This may seem to be an extreme position to some petition. But, U.S. retired General John Kelly had sounded the alarm bells in 2024, when he sought to warm Americans that if re-elected again, he could govern like a dictator, based upon Trump's expressed affinity to fascism and the Nazis. Indeed, Trump's desire to annex both Canada and Greenland is right out of Hitler's playbook.<

Liberal leadership candidate Frank Baylis was arguably correct when he blamed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for travelling to meet Trump at his private Mar-a-lago mansion for an impromptu dinner meeting in order to encourage Trump to spare Canada from his wrath regarding his so-called "America First" agenda. But, Trudeau's plan backfired. The result of Trudeau's strategy was that Trump began to publicly obsess about making Canada a "51st state".

There's an old saying that goes something like, "those who fail to learn the lessons of history are doomed to repeat it." This can be said to what's going on in Canada today. It is my humble opinion based upon the analysis of "Trump 2's" continued pathological obsession with making Canada a "51st state" with his foreign policy pronouncements to-date that he's planning "Operation Blitz".
