On Friday, September 22nd, 2023, during a visit by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Canada’s Parliament extended a standing ovation to 98-year-old WWII veteran Yaroslav Hunka, honoring his contributions to Ukrainian independence against the Russians (Soviets) during WWII. However, concerns arose when it was revealed that Hunka was a former member of the Waffen-SS Galicia Division—a Nazi unit.

Swift apologies followed, and Speaker of the House, Anthony Rota, resigned from his position for introducing Hunka to Parliament. Justin Trudeau issued a typically Liberal, half-hearted apology, taking the opportunity to address alleged Russian misinformation.

Hunka now faces the possibility of deportation to Poland, and Canada’s global image took a hit, with Trudeau and other Parliamentarians facing criticism ranging from being labeled Nazi sympathizers to being accused of ignorance regarding history.

Salim Mansur of Western University sheds light on how someone like Hunka could be honored by Canada’s Parliament, emphasizing the importance of understanding Canada’s history and the prevailing ideology of today’s politicians.

Examining the current state of Canada under Trudeau, parallels with Germany during the Weimar Republic and the Nazis are highlighted, raising concerns about the ominous direction the country is heading.

Truman, the atomic bomb, and the rise of the Deep State | Salim Mansur

 Comments Off on Truman, the atomic bomb, and the rise of the Deep State | Salim Mansur
Aug 292023
 

It was President Trump who called them the “Deep State,” that “fourth branch of government,” which acts in secret, furthering its own aims, led by the Neo-Cons and attached by the hip to the CIA and other alphabet agencies. President Eisenhower warned us about them. To him, they were the “Military-Industrial Complex.” However, it was under President Harry S. Truman, Eisenhower’s predecessor, that the Deep State was conceived, as our guest Professor Salim Mansur of Western University in London, Ontario, states.

“Ukraine, the most corrupt country in the world, is a laundromat for the Military-Industrial Complex in America. How did this happen? It didn’t happen overnight. The derailment began with a decision by Truman.”

In an article titled “Revisiting Hiroshima and Nagasaki: the path not taken,” published on Salim’s Substack (salimmansur.substack.com), he clearly lays out the argument that Truman’s decision to use the atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6th, 1945, and keeping his ally, the Soviet Union, in the dark about it, set into motion diplomatic actions that resulted in the Cold War and the animosity which America still feels towards Russia 78 years later. It is an irrational hatred which has led to the current proxy war in Ukraine. A war, it should be mentioned, where more Ukrainian soldiers have died in the past year and a half than all of the American servicemen who died in both theaters of WWII.

Join Salim and Robert for a fascinating look at the history of the birth of Deep State and the Forever Wars of the United States.

Where have all the flowers gone? | Salim Mansur

In 1955, songwriter Pete Seeger penned the quintessential anti-war folk song “Where Have All the Flowers Gone?,” which would later resonate with the public expressing opposition to the Military-Industrial Complex’s involvement in Southeast Asia in the 1960s. Today, there is a noticeable absence of comparable songs that rally people against governments’ decisions to prolong the conflict in Ukraine—decisions resulting in significant loss of life and expenditure.

The absence of widespread protest and condemnation from the public seems to be emboldening our politicians to persist with their controversial war strategies. The silence and apparent indifference can inadvertently be interpreted as consent, raising concerns about the potential escalation to a full-scale armed conflict between NATO countries and Russia. While the use of nuclear weapons in such a scenario remains unlikely, it was a genuine fear during the 1960s, leading to the construction of fallout shelters in backyards and drills that taught children to seek shelter during a nuclear attack.

Professor Salim Mansur from Western University joins Robert Vaughan in discussing this perceived indifference among the public towards an impending global conflict, drawing a comparison to the protest movements of the Beatniks and Hippies in the 60s. They contend that Western culture underwent significant changes over the past fifty years, with any semblance of reason and objectivity being supplanted by wokeism and subjectivity. They conclude that the West has become a culture of nihilism, narcissism, and hedonism led by the self-absorbed and immature and that our anti-intellectual culture could potentially lead to the end of what remains of our civilization.

Peace For All Time: Reflections on John F. Kennedy’s Peace Speech | Salim Mansur

 Foreign Relations, Latest, Military, Politics, Video  Comments Off on Peace For All Time: Reflections on John F. Kennedy’s Peace Speech | Salim Mansur
Jul 082023
 


This year marks the 60th anniversary of John F. Kennedy’s “Peace Speech” which was given on June 10th, 1963 as the commencement address at American University.

It was a speech quickly forgotten by the press, perhaps because it spoke of peace rather than of war. As Kennedy himself remarked at the time, “I realize that the pursuit of peace is not as dramatic as the pursuit of war—and frequently the words of the pursuer fall on deaf ears. But we have no more urgent task.”

Kennedy’s remarkable oration was given just months after the Cuban Missile Crisis and at a time when the world was readying itself for a nuclear exchange with the Soviet Union. It is all the more urgent that we revisit Kennedy’s momentous words as we are today teetering on the brink of a nuclear war with Russia. This time, however, the belligerent parties are not the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact they are the United States and NATO.

On June 7th, Salim Mansur, professor emeritus at the University of Western Ontario published an article on Substack called “Blessed are the peacemakers: Recalling JFK.” In it, he brings into context our current predicament with Russia and likens it to those dramatic events of 60 years ago.

In this conversation Salim and Robert Vaughan review Kennedy’s presentation in the hope that some might remember that no matter what issue of the day has political favor they all pale in comparison to the very real threat of a World War between powers who both possess nuclear weapons and that there are wise words from the past which offer up a solution to such madness.

The tyranny of the Administrative State | Bruce Pardy

May 062023
 

In his recent testimony to the National Citizen’s Inquiry, Bruce Pardy—Executive Director of Rights Probe—made clear that Canadians have allowed their country to devolve into an all-powerful Administrative State.

We have a nation where Parliament delegates to the Executive, the Executive determines what, in their discretion, is best for the good of the country, and the courts defer to the “expertise” of the Executive.

While many might suggest that such an Executive branch is a necessary feature of a modern state we must acknowledge that given such great powers we can also expect our liberties to be in peril.

Says, Bruce, “I do not agree that it is the role of people inside the government to fix social problems. I think the role of government is to tell us what the general rules are that define the relationship between each one of us to the other and between us and the state. If you have those general abstract rules that apply to everybody all the time, then you shouldn’t need the kind of Administrative State we have now. I’m describing what is sometimes called a “Night-watchman State,” a state that is there to keep the peace and to establish the basic principles and then otherwise leaves people alone to make their own way.”

The will of the People | Salim Mansur

 Governance, Latest, Politics, Video  Comments Off on The will of the People | Salim Mansur
Mar 192023
 


Seven little words and Canada will become a nation where the people gain their sovereignty over their ruling elites.

So says our guest, Salim Mansur of Western University in an article published on his Substack, Salim’s reflections and ruminations.

Canada, since its inception, has defined itself and even prided itself in one way…”We are not Americans.” From this reactionary and defensive stance, hardly a distinguishing characteristic, it created a government in direct opposition to “We the people of the United States.” Instead, it continued the traditions of Imperial Britain and created a nation where Parliament maintained its sovereignty over the people.

Indeed, Canadians are not a sovereign people. The nation may be independent in the traditional sense that any other country might be recognized however, as with every other nation on Earth, its people lie subservient to a ruling class of elites. In Canada’s case, it is Parliament.

Salim makes it clear amidst the backdrop of recent years that saw their Charter rights literally trampled underfoot that Canadians are serfs in their own country. They have no rights which are not granted by Parliament and their inalienable rights are neither recognized nor protected.

Salim proposes that the will of the people, as expressed in the Freedom Convoy of 2022, be enshrined in an amendment to the Charter of Rights and Freedoms preamble. Seven little words would fundamentally change the nature of Canada, placing Parliament in its proper place as a servant of the people rather than their master.

Fear no evil—Exposing the climate change cult | Matthew Wielicki

 Environmentalism, Globalism, Latest, Politics, Science, Science & Tech., Society, Video  Comments Off on Fear no evil—Exposing the climate change cult | Matthew Wielicki
Mar 132023
 


After having been overshadowed by the COVID campaign of terror, and as we become inured to the horrors of the war in Ukraine, the spectre of climate change is again beginning to come to the fore.

With countries like Canada implementing “Just Transition” legislation designed to put the country on a path of “Net-Zero” carbon dioxide emissions, and the United States refusing life-enhancing pipeline projects like Keystone XL, we are witnessing the destruction of Western civilization and capitalism, a degradation of our living standards, and an elimination of our rights.

Climate change is a religion. It comes complete with a god—Gaia, a hell—boiling oceans, catechism—the Paris Accord, and priests and priestesses—Al Gore and Greta Thunberg.

As with any religion, there is a litany of sins, some minor such as eating meat, and some mortal such as driving more than 15 minutes from your home. And with every sin, there is an appropriate penance, $40 for a pound of ground chuck and carbon taxes on gasoline.

The religion of climate change is based on faith and fear. We must have faith in the wisdom our priests and priestesses and we must fear the coming Armageddon, the retribution of a vengeful Gaia if their words are not heeded.

Thankfully there are plenty of heretics out there to nail some scientific sense to the door of the church of climate change in protest.

Dr. Matthew Wielicki, assistant professor in the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Alabama, arms us with some facts, any one of which would expose the false religion of climate change, but when put together obliterate it and make a laughing stock out of its false prophets.

– CO2 is not a pollutant. It is essential for plant life and more is better.
– We are in the middle of an ice age.
– Ice at the Earth’s poles is not the norm.
– Earth’s changing orbit around the sun is the primary driving force for climate change.
– Man’s contribution to climate change is insignificant.
– One cannot buy one’s way into heaven on Earth by paying a carbon tithe.

And now that we’ve almost milked the religion metaphor to death (and probably offended every Catholic and Protestant reading this) let’s watch Dr. Wielicki show us the way, the truth, and the life we should enjoy once we dispel our unfounded fear of the climate change cult.
