..wasn't even mentioned in our local newspapers here in NB.
On wednesday, two bills were defeated in the US Congress.
One would have severely limited powers that Obama has assumed to spy on americans (and everybody else.
With that done, any president is not free to let his army of a hundred thousand dmoestic spies to use this material against political eneimies, against protest groups, against political opponents, and worse. With the already existing imprisonment without charge or trial, the American population will, in effect, have no personal liberty at all.
I see by the papers Canada is establishing military bases in East Africa, Asia, Germany, possibly Latin America. These bases will have only small manpower, but will be capable of rapid transfomation within hours into formidable attack launch sites.
Why are we doing this?
Mr Harper says it's to help with local emergencies like earthquakes. Oh? Then why are they military bases? and why in those particular locations?
Well, they're also to "project Canadian military power".
Who says so? .... - Now I am adding a few words just to make my opening long enough to post a topic.
