    I didn't join Canada's Liberal party back in 2009 to make everybody happy.

    On the official Liberal Party discussion forum I get the impression that many active Liberal Party writers think that I am some sort of Conservative Party plant?!

    I'm not……. I am basically happy with Canada's Liberal Party….. I am really glad that Liberal Leader Mr. Stephan Dion made it clear that the Liberal Party takes climate change very seriously.

    I was also impressed when Liberal Party leader Mr. Michael Ignatieff stated that the 2009 budget tabled by P. M. Stephen Harper was relatively "liberal" considering that it was done up by P. M. Stephen Harper and his assistants.

    But…… what I feel is needed most in Canadian politics is for members of all major political parties to apply the principles elaborated on in the film "The Secret."

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_(book)

    Liberals, Conservatives, the NDP and Canada's Green Party need to talk to each other more and cooperate at a higher level to set in motion win - win - win - win initiatives in Canada, and around the world.

    Although this is a terribly un-cool thing to do….. I admit it…. back in 2012, if I had been American I would almost certainly have voted for Mitt Romney and back in 2008 I almost certainly would have voted for McCain - Palin. In the event that Mitt Romney enters the Presidential race and is elected as POTUS in 2016…. my having expressed my opinion….. might actually turn out to be of some value?!

    http://www.politicalforum.com/showthread.php?t=401463&page=3&p=1065082742#post1065082742

    Would Mitt Romney as President in 2016 inspire Iran to scrap nuclear weapon plans?

    For the record…. I admit that President George W. Bush was indeed too close with Big Business…… this is a metaphorical "fly in the ointment" but…………… I personally have read too much material over the years that indicates that his decision to invade Iraq, may well have been worth it……. because I do believe that President Saddam Hussein was obviously attempting to obtain nuclear weapons……. and Saddam might well have been willing to use them on Israel.

    For one thing……. Russia got ahead of the USA in at least one area. Amazingly small dirty nuclear weapons not a whole lot larger than a softball.

    When the Soviet Union collapses, Russian scientists and officials were desperate for American dollars and Saddam had billions.

    The testimonies of several Iraqi nuclear physicists indicate that Saddam wanted a nuclear weapon or two or three……..

    …. the situation at the time of America's invasion of Iraq was such that it probably seemed like too great of a risk to allow Saddam the freedom to keep on trying his best to develop or purchase a nuclear weapon.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khidir_Hamza
    Let's notice this sentence:
    I would love to be wrong….. but my own personal opinion is that high level American officials…… feel that there is far less danger in the average American feeling that President Bush was wrong and incompetent…….. as opposed to let them KNOW….. .about how much danger they really had been in?!

    There is also a real possibility that within fifty years….. we may find out that President George W. Bush acted rather wisely, under the circumstances, in terms of how best to combat climate change.

    Sometimes doing NOTHING…… is one of the best responses to a complex problem?????

    by just reading the title yeah because there have been so many brainwashed sheep in america that have been programmed by the CIA controlled media and our corrupt school system that mass murderer Reagan was one of the greatest presidents ever.Carter was the last president we have had one wasnt a war criminal which is why they have been programmed into believing he was the worst president ever.:roll:

    Bush like Reagan,is a war criminal so yeah,it would not surprise me.

    I thank you for responding into this topic 9/11 ............... President Carter impressed me as being sincere........ but I do think that he was terribly naive.

    I began to study near death experience accounts back in 1990 and they have altered my view on just about every subject.

    Here is some information on what was going on in fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth dimensional space time from a three time near death experiencer who got very good at controlling the out of the body experience.


    http://www.near-death.com/science/experts/pmh-atwater.html

    continued.......
    Now I can understand your skepticism of this type of information but..... I thank you for taking a look at this anyway.


    For the record, I read a book about Ingo Swann who was also so good at controlling the out of the body experience that several psychologists studied his gifts using controlled conditions as best as they could come up with. The results were impressive to say the least.

    I think Bush will be remembered as idiotic for destabilizing the middle east and not speaking well, as well as a strong and likable leader during the 9/11 crisis. I think historians will continue to hate him, and regular people will continue to have a mixed view of him. But I live in California, so maybe that's just the people around me. I don't really think he's an idiot, but I do think invading Iraq was counterproductive and a good example of neoconservatism not working because of irreconcilable cultural differences.

    If I remember correctly President George W. Bush is said to have had an IQ over 130, which is very good, but President William Clinton is said to have had an IQ over 170, which we would tend to think would make for a somewhat more capable President???!

    http://www.westernjournalism.com/shocking-audio-proves-bill-clinton-failed-prevent-911-attacks/

    I strongly suspect that IF.......... Mr. George W. Bush had been President of the USA at the time that President Clinton had that opportunity to kill Osama Bin Laden, the 9-11 attack might not have occurred because President George W. Bush, in my opinion, may have had a somewhat instinctive better grasp of the truly big picture than President Clinton had????????

    That is just a theory and I am often incorrect in my theorizings?!

    For the record............. I should admit that I am not one hundred percent altruistic in my dedication to political discussion forums.

    Something that I have learned from P. M. Stephen Harper is that when you clearly choose a side.......... and take some risks...… and do something with chutzpah for that side that you have chosen....... you win yourself serious brownie points with certain groups of people.

    I would be termed a blue liberal.............. and I find the Obama administration somewhat incomprehensible.

    If....... a G.O. P. President is elected in 2016, Canada's Liberal Party will perhaps look around to see if any Liberal Party members have written or said anything.......... in general support of some leaders in the G. O. P. And voila.......shares in DennisTate Ltd, (that doesn't even legally exist yet).... could go up considerably under certain conditions........... I admit it.......... I kind of suspect that the time might come when my political ramblings could turn out to gain me a higher salary than I earn as a cleaner/ janitor?!?!

    Hell........... in the event of a P. M. Justin Trudeau or a P. M. Stephen Harper minority government being elected in October 2015..... some of what I write could become more interesting to some influential people..?????????!

    http://www.politicalforum.com/relig...s-p-m-brokering-jordan-israel-peace-deal.html

    Please pray or meditate on Canada's P. M. brokering Jordan - Israel peace deal?



    I know that many of you pray or meditate so please

    pray that P. M. Stephen Harper initiate a peace deal between Jordan and Israel?

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I am a member of a different Canadian political party but……… I have to admit that P. M. Stephen Harper is for good reason regarded as a rather "Davidic" figure by a high percentage of Israelis.

    What he did for Israel back in 2011 at the G-8 was one of the most courageous and wise acts by a political leader that I have seen since I began to watch world events back in the '70's!

    Reagan's fascist pal:



    Former Guatemala dictator granted 'special trial,' won't testify

    Source: Reuters

    World | Wed Aug 26, 2015 2:15am BST

    Former Guatemala dictator granted 'special trial,' won't testify

    GUATEMALA CITY


    A Guatemalan court ruled on Tuesday that ex-dictator Efrain Rios Montt will be given a "special trial" next year on genocide charges in which the 89-year-old will not have to testify and will not be sent to prison if convicted, due to mental incapacity.

    The ruling revives the hopes of those seeking a new sentence against Rios Montt two years after a historic conviction of the former strongman was thrown out on a technicality.

    Guatemala's forensic authority declared in July that Rios Montt was mentally unfit to be tried again on the charges that he was responsible for the killings of nearly 2,000 indigenous Maya during a particularly brutal stretch of the country's 36-year civil war.

    Rios Montt's opponents accuse him of implementing a scorched earth policy, and his earlier conviction had been hailed as a landmark for justice in the Central American nation. The conflict claimed as many as 250,000 lives.

    This theory is already getting some verification...…


    http://www.politicalforum.com/polit...m-harper-deliberately-use-global-dimming.html


    Did President G. W. Bush and P. M. Harper deliberately use Global Dimming to..



    .... mask...… to decrease..... to hide.......to postpone......... a general Global Warming trend?

    A second legitimate question is..... within fifty years is it at all possible that we may find out that they may perhaps have had a basically good idea in doing this?

    I'd vote NO, but on his domestic policy was near that of Clinton/Obama. Reagan would never done, "No child left behind", "Prescription Drugs", allowed continuation of unrestricted home loans or most certainly VETOED "TARP". Did not make your list. As for GWB foreign policy, he had little choice, with Congressional and advisor approval. While Reagan may have done the same, as their Foreign Policy actions were much the same.

    In 50 years, if there is even any interest in GWB, may equal Bill Clinton, but both well above Obama....

    Yes..... I think you really got to the core of what is happening.

    Both President Ronald Reagan as well as President George W. Bush will probably go down in history as being more popular and in line with the mood of the American people than President Obama has been.

    I have to admit though that within fifty years it is also possible that information comes out that may indicate that the Obama Administration may be accomplishing more positive things behind the scenes than is being covered in the main stream media. For one thing.... President Obama's leadership team seems to be continuing to use Global Dimming to mask a general Global Warming trend......… and that may have been one of the better short term responses?!?!

    He and his team still have a year in which to initiate something more practical such as.......

    http://www.politicalforum.com/opini...saving-new-orleans-florida-rising-oceans.html

    The Sahara Forest Project...and saving New Orleans and Florida from rising oceans!



    Did you know that there is an Islamic prophecy that the Islamic desert regions would be turned green in the latter days?????

    This topic is of special interest to me because I live about a hundred miles from the Bay of Fundy. I live five kms from the ocean on the eastern part of Nova Scotia. In my area the difference between low tide to high tide is about one meter! The land form of the Bay of Fundy has a funnelling effect on tidal waters and so parts of the Fundy have a difference of fifteen to seventeen meters between low to high tide!

    OK...... that is logical....... but I stand by my assertion that the deliberate, (if that is what it was), usage of the Global Dimming Effect to delay, postpone....... the general Global Warming Trend a decade or so...........
    could have been a politically incorrect but perhaps BRILLIANT response to
    the situation faced by President George W. Bush and P. M. Stephen Harper:

    http://www.politicalforum.com/index...respond-brilliantly-to-global-warming.513530/

    Did President Bush respond brilliantly to Global Warming?
