ONWARD GLOBAL ARMY ... MAYBE SOONER THAN LATER?

OttawaCitizen: Canadian Forces to close recruiting centres, lay off professors as part of budget cuts

If you like a good mystery, this news item is chock full of them.

Gee, you'd think the wars were over with, wouldn't you? 

But Iran and Syria are just on hold until Obama gets re-elected.

Are they closing the recruiting centres because attendance has waned?

Has word gotten round about the horrors of Afghanistan and Iraq?

Well, maybe the recruiters will scour the countryside for unemployed farm boys, the way they did for the (other) world wars. Well, waddyano, further down the page we find this:

The military’s recruiting group is looking at conducting what is known as remote processing, in which recruiting staff would go on the road to various areas to process new recruits.

So if this is all to save money, can we rest assured the recruiters won't pull a Petie MacKay and spend multithousands just to fly a few hundred miles.

You might be interested to see a report of where Canada currently ranks in military power (and what its firepower consists of): Global Firepower The US is numero uno, of course.

This site predicts an international army serving under a global flag within the next one or two decades. And indeed, when you read the Citizen article further you find that a lot of the proposed layoffs will be spread out over a number of years, if they happen at all.

So gradually, as the global agenda progresses, we may see more of this kind of clue that certain areas of national government are being phased out - but instead of hearing the truth, we'll be told it's just to save money.

The beauty, in the eyes of some, is that when things get really bad for the general population and more and more uprisings occur, an international army will better be able to step in and do crowd control (you know, keeping the peace) than a local army would, local soldiers being possibly reluctant to shoot real bullets at their own people.

That may also be one of the reasons for the partnership with the US Northern Command ~ so that US troops could step in to put down a Canadian uprising, and vice versa.

Last, but still worth considering: maybe recruitment centres won't be needed if a draft is imposed, which of course would only occur if the predicted WWIII is not just a conspiracy fantasy.

I'm also getting the feeling our economy is going to tank (further), which means there will be lots of unemployed youth with no place to go but the military.

Economists have warned that high energy prices could derail the economy, which is why countries such as the United States, Britain and France are examining tapping their oil reserves.

Boycotts of big oil are being called for. 

I remember back in 1967 we boycotted bacon because it went up to over $1.00 a lb. We just stopped buying bacon. There was other meat we could eat.  And the boycott worked; bacon went down to 90 cents.  Where is it now, I wonder?  I haven't eaten bacon in so long I haven't a clue what it costs, but I bet it's way over a buck.

Not so easy to boycott gasoline, though. I'm reminded of something a family member told me about recently, how Jane Goodall documented a wimp chimp who became recognized by his clan as an alpha male because he discovered that banging kerosene cans together made a hell of a noise, and had it all over the grunting, strutting chest thumpers.

Now wouldn't that be novel ~ thousands of protesters dressed in primate suits banging kerosene cans on Parliament Hill?  Only for gawd's sake do it when the politicians are in there, not on a Saturday or over the Easter holiday. 

And keep doing it until the gas prices go down, even if it means using up your sick time and holidays (if you've got a job).  It might be worth it in the long run, and would certainly scare the bejeebers out of the cops.

Oh, and then there's the "drag" of people with gray hair making the economy even worse. Kill me, please.

And we are still daily being reminded of terrorism GWB style, which means the fake "war on terror" is revving up again to justify diverting funds for social programs into war machines.

By the way: remember Obama's pre-election promise to close Guantanamo Bay the minute he took office?

Okay, I'm done ~ for now.
