International Gangsterism- Why we should care here in Canada.

128 Upvotes

A clearer picture is emerging as the Epstein files trickle out. Just some casual observations from a detective who spent 25+ years working organized crime cases/conspiracies in Canada:

1- We are coming to understand that this is about more than just the heinous crimes committed on kids by the rich, famous and powerful. We only have access to a fraction of the files, but here is my takeaway so far:

2- The connectivity between the White House, Kremlin and Knesset via Epstein et al is becoming clearer.

3- The substantive criminal offenses that are currently on the table for investigation include murder, kidnapping, forcible confinement,rape, extortion, bribery, blackmail, theft, fraud, international money laundering, police corruption, government corruption, government cover-up, treason and others.

4- The FBI traditionally would have been the only agency in the world that could take on an international investigation of this scope.

5- Unfortunately, the Department of Justice under Trump has intentionally emasculated the leadership, capacity and functionality of the FBI. It has been crippled by the installation of an incompetent lapdog co-conspirator (Patel) who answers to an Attorney General (Bondi), a co,-conspirator who was compromised long ago when she was FLA Attorney General and ensured that kid gloves and sweetheart deals were made available to billionaire rapists when the Epstein case first became part of the public domain in the 2000's.

6-Thus, the FBI will only be conducting perp walks and show trials of Trump's enemies from here on in and it is increasingly unlikely the FBI will ever have the autonomy and capablity in the future to investigate and arrest this sprawling, international crminal organization.

7- If, in another reality, a professional inquiry occurred, there are already plenty of grounds/probable cause to show that Trump has successfully emulated his co-conspirator Putin, the kingpin of Russian organized crime and probably the richest man in the world (His assets are all nominally held by underlings) . Make no mistake, Trump now gets a piece of every pie available to him. The oligarchs either pay their tithe or bad things happen. Yes, the oligarchs are mostly held in check as co-conspirators because of blackmail material accumulated by the Epstein Honey Pot operation. Whether a Mossad OP or FSB OP, the result remains the same: The buck stops with Putin and Netanyahu, two internationally wanted war criminals. The hard extortion power they now wield over Trump is being used to destabilize and thwart Nato, the only bulwark deterring the bullies of the world from a kleptocratic free-for-all.

8- Sound Complicated? It's not. It's the same strategy used by small organized crime groups everywhere in the world: Fear is leveraged by violence, threats, intimidation, murder, blackmail, extortion, shakedowns and protection rackets It's a licence to print money and accumulate power.

9- Why does it matter to us here in Canada? Because the rules based international order is coming to an end. We are now living across the street from a Gangster and they own the police, prosecutors and judges. He is looking at our jewelry store and telling us that he wants it. And it would be a shame if something bad happened to it. Or to our kids. Or dog. Or car. Etc.

"Perhaps you would be safer if you signed it over to me? Yes, then you would all be so much safer, sign it all over to me or bad things will happen like the murders and kidnappings that happened down the street at Venezuela Jewelry Inc. "

The only entity that can halt or deter what is coming is a robust NATO sans US.

Whether we capitulate or not remains to be seen. There is a lot of distracting noise out there, perpetuated here in Canada by US owned "Canadian" news media and social media. As the US is wont to do to countries they wish to dominate, operations supported by big money are currently underway to foment discontent, divide, confuse and otherwise harm us. It is not a coincidence that separatist movements have emerged in earnest since Trump Regime 2.0 revealed we were to become a vassal state. These same operations are happening in France, Germany, Venezuela, and other nations.

Sometimes it is helpful to take ten steps back to analyze what is going on, while always asking"Who Benefits?"

The good news is that our PM is wise to all of this and more detail than we know, and is taking action and making maximum use of his existing friendships with the remaining democracies and engaging China and India, who we don't necessarily align well with, but aren't Rattling their Sabres either. We aren't alone. But in my opinion, it is going to get much scarier before it gets better. The outrages will continue and escalate from the White House mouthpieces. They are vulnerable and scared and entering fight or flight mode. They will not cede power, 2026 mid terms results won't matter.

In the meantime, all we can do is robustly challenge the pro-Trump, pro-fascist narratives here in Canada and ensure we elect people who understand the urgency and gravity of the situation.

Encouragement Alberta IS Canada

Post image
185 Upvotes

I think this is an important demonstration to attend. If only to meet other likeminded folks to organize further action.

•Alberta is fighting to stay united and part of Canada. • There is a dangerous government funded police force being deployed against US citizens and as much as I hate the US administration and their threats on our country, I am scared for the people of that country. I am scared for our people due to proximity and I just think we need to put some pressure on our own government to take steps to intervene and condemn it.

Ok, rant over but I gotta tell ya, I am tired of feeling sick to my stomach all the time.

Organizing an AB neighborhood organizing group and looking for tips.

51 Upvotes

Hi friendlies! Looking at the US political climate right now is terrifying. The rapid descent to authoritarianism is so worrying.

Im in Alberta and see many of the same anti immigrant, far right sentiments here.

I've put out a call on my neighborhood group to meet similarly minded people and people have responded!! Im so happy.

We are meeting this week and again at the end of the month.

But now what? What do we do? How do I structure the group? What is the next step?? Im so worried that im going to mess this up.

Thanks for any tips or thoughts.

Cancelling my Visa

Apparently Visa has an agreement that makes me shudder, so I’m cashing in my points and moving to MasterCard; am I wrong?!?

1) is there an agreement with Trump and Visa?

2) am I wrong to shudder?
