Rice Charms And Chills As She Warns Canada To Negotiate Softwood Impasse

Rice is a person to watch as she is a key member of the Bush inner cabal and her and GWB spend a lot of time together. She is already being touted as a Bush successor- running against Hillary Clinton and winning?

If for example our Liberal government thinks they can wait out the nightmare of the Bush administration they should think again. The Republican Party is working now to establish a single party state and relegating the Democrats
to being a permenant fringe group and they might well do it as they have considerable expertise at fixing the vote- as we have seen.

If we think dealing with the US is going to get easier any time soon-forget it! It is probably going to become even more difficult. Failing to deal with the soft wood lumber issue in a decisive and forceful manner will only encourage the bullying.

Rice is the female Machiavelli

Interesting insight.

You know Canada is pretty united on Softwood and agianst the a-hole stance of the United States when even the Dog Chow Party gets on the bandwagon. Even Harper says they should give the money back, drop the duties and get back to the rules and laws of free trade that they themselves help write.

Screw Rice, screw Bush and screw their position of screwing everyone including Canada that can out-compete them in some facet of capitalism. In America one thing has become very clear - there is no such thing as free.

All of this is nothing new on Canada/US relations. The US has long been looking at Canada as their resource depot and there is a very strong history of US influence and likely out and out strong arm tactics of keeping Canada from establishing its own industries that will compete directly with US companies worldwide. Anyone wishing to get a good history lesson of this relationship since before confederation to the present should read David Orchard's book "Fight For Canada." It is an eye opener with Canadian history lessons that go far beyond anything I ever learned in school about Canada.

Condi sure can spin it though! 'She assured Canadians that the word of the United States is "as good as gold" and then this

"It's extremely important not to speak in apocalyptic language about this issue,"

Ya right. Don't use apocalyptic language on this one, cause we're using that language on our other front,and there are only so many words we know and can use; that language is used on our war on terror. Not to mention good as gold? In what regard, if history is an example, let's look at the news out today....Karl Rove, Cheney, Libby....'our word' who is she referring to??

If I stand for my country today...will my country be here to stand for me tomorrow?

What I find funny in the title of this article are the words "Rice charms" .....The lady has the charm of a hungry hyaena and if anybody is stupid enough to fall for it deserves what comes.

Of course, the Republicans are on their way to create a permanent police state and world, and they're being ideologically supported in this quest by every university on Earth teaching neoclassical market economics.

The US' word as "good as gold?" The gold in Fort Knox or all the "gold" the US can steal from other nations???
Doing business with the US is "buyer beware" - when is Canada going to learn this?

Hi Vera,

There ain't no gold in Fort Knox. It has been sold many years ago. Now they use imaginary money to buy the world and the suckers are still falling for it.

Ed Deak.

Mr. Deak, just wanted to say that I have read your different posts on this site and have a lot of respect for you and what you report. It is nice to have someone who has the knowledge to share it with others on this site, those that may not know what goes on in the world. Most people believe what they see reported on t.v. or in the paper. I for one have opened my eyes and mind to some of the reporting on the web. I no longer always believe or trust the spin from traditional media sources anymore. My political views are in the middle and I despise the neo-cons for what they represent to humanity. Rice and her ilk are lying evil people who serve themselves and a tiny minoriy. Keep up the good work Ed, we need more people like you to open up peoples eyes and minds. cheers. LMW

Thanks for the kind words, friend. Now, I have to tell you a little secret. I spent 45 years searching and researching the "common denominator of history's tragedies", including 7 years at Cambridge, when I stumbled on a $40 economics textbook at a garage sale, for $1. in 1982.

After having read the first page, I couldn't help exclaiming "Does anybody really believe this crap?" It took me 3 years to find the common denominator in the fraudulent definition of economic efficiency, which can be traced back in history in various forms, but always legalizing the justification of seigneurs' rights through pseudo religious propaganda.

This is why I call neoclassical economics the biggest fraud and crime wave in history. The problem is that in the past the seigneurs controlled only relatively small areas with primitive weapons and methods. Now, we have a worldwide conspiracy of them, and their priesthood of economists, who do have the power to enslave and/or destroy everybody and everything. We had several B52 flights over our house today, in central BC. and they're not training for mercy flights.

Ed Deak, Big Lake, BC.

Hi, Ed!
I know there no longer is gold in Fort Knox. Just used it as a matter of speech. The constant lies and manipulations are revolting.
