- Bush&Co's
Public Policies: The Privatization of Justice and Peace
- Saturday, June 7, 2003
by: Mario deSatnis
This story and its references discuss the growing awareness by Americans that their
leadership have been misleading them and have been doing so for reasons that are
pretty much "the American way" while other and much more serious issues
have been ignored.

- Camouflaging Racism
in Saskatchewan and in the Saskatoon Police Association
- Tuesday, June 10, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Racism is an ugly thing but we are not going to make any progress with it as long
as we done come out and deal with the issue. Police Chief Sabo has acknowledged that
two decades ago a least one Saskatoon police officer was reprimanded for leaving
a woman out on the city's outskirts to die, the police association has proclaimed
their lack of confidence in him. There are games being played here and its time to
call it what it really is.

- Making Reality
out of the Fiction of the Free Market
- Thursday, June 12, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The political predisposition of so many leaders both at home and around the world
is determining governmental action rather than basing administration on the needs
of the real world.

- The scientific
governmental approach to public policies and the Iraq war: Continuous
Statistical Polling
- Wednesday, June 18, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
If you ask a question it appears that the process in itself will develop an opinion
that matches the views of the questioner. By polling continously and acting upon
the polling results ignorance and misimformation become the means of government.
|
- The SIGMA ANALYTICS
poll doesn't absolve the bigoted Saskatoon police
- Thursday, June 19, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Yesterday Mario told us how polls were being used to create, rather than measure
public opinion, today he gives us an example of this process at work in Saskatoon.

- Bush&Co's
Larger Right Wing Agenda
- Thursday, June 19, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
This is a warning, you can choose to ignore the growing body of imperical evidence
that points toward what the United States and its leadership are undertaking. But
ignore it or not Mario deSantis is backing up his claims in this story with excellent
sources who like he are disturbed at what they have discovered.
|
- The Privatization
of the Rule of Law: The Immunity Legislations for tycoon Berlusconi
and hegemonic America
- Monday, June 23, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
It is disturbing indeed to find out that the Italian Premier merely passes a law
to prevent his conviction of corruption but even more disturbing that the United
States is forcing nations around the world to sign agreements exempting Americans
from War Crimes. Looks like Hitler and Musolini would have been better off to have
had better lawyers.
|
- America is experiencing
a big economic bubble ready to deflate: The Free Market competition
for grabbing scarcer resources
- Thursday, June 26, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The American economy accounts for fifth of all world trade and it is in a serious
mess with a growing deficit, a trade deficit and mounting debt from its war adventures.
It would be nice if this were their problem but unfortunately because of the dominance
of their imposition of their system on the rest of the world we all will share in
their catastrophic decline.
|
- Is Bush not technically
untrue, or is he just a liar?
- Thursday, July 3, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The references on this story indicate the extent to which journalists and doubters
have gone to realise the fabrication of Iraq evidence of weapons of mass destruction.
|
- The regressive
streamlining administration of the Insurance Industry
- Sunday, July 6, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
To make up for stock market losses Canada's Insurance industry is cutting service
and raising premiums all a part of their "streamlining" process.
|
- Hello Mr. Robinson:
Canadian Walter Robinson kisses the Bush Assets
- Tuesday, July 8, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Many think that just cutting down on the size of government would make things better.
Mario deSantis presents quite a different argument and it is illustrated by a shocking
graph that shows the growth of jobs under the various American presidents in the
past and not since the thirties has the American economy done as poorly as under
George W. Bush.

- Understanding
and Peace is a matter of Integral Language, Dementia and War is a matter of Policed
Brainwashing
- Wednesday, July 9, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Fair warning, this is a complex story, but you will have to read it a couple of times
for the message to sink in and if you do not check out the reference to the Kuwait
parliament you will definitely be lost. No one ever said figuring things out was
going to be easy.

- The freer Free
Market salaries of Canadian senior public servants: The case of Canada
Post CEO Andre Ouellet
- Wednesday, July 9, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The post office is raising the cost of a postage stamp by a penny but the boss of
the corporation, Liberal hack, Andre Ouellet is getting a pay raise to half a million
a year. Nice job.
|
- Is President Bush
lying? The truth is in the eye of the beholder, think for yourself
- Monday, July 14, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The American President and his staff are busy defending the use of a forged document
more than a year old claiming that Iraq was trying to purchase Uranium from Niger.
In the face of such incredible information you are being asked to simply think this
one through for yourself. But to help you look into it the references with this story
lay out the confusion.
|
- Shifting the blame
for Bush's misstatement in his State of the Union address
- Tuesday, July 15, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The clouds of deceit roll in as the CIA takes the blame for the Bush State of the
Union speech error but other CIA people explain that the warning of authenticity
had been given and ignored. It all sounds a little late, the US public bought the
man's "weapons of mass destruction" song and dance and the invasion took
place, people died and debts pile up.
|
- And Bush's wars
continue as war is the ultimate cover up of Bush's lies
- Wednesday, July 16, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
This story discusses the web of deceit that is an everyday and expected behaviour
of the United States President. But there is more notice in the image that accompanies
the story is a picture showing clear violations of the Geneva convention.
|
- Bush's Slippery
Slope: Ending with impeachment?
- Thursday, July 17, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Up until now there have been complaints and accusations but the bald face lie in
the State of the Union address has changed the tone of concern as Americans are beginning
to realise that maybe something should be done about the warrior president who lacks
fiscal responsibility.
|
- The GREED of the
Free Market is not a matter of public or private services: SHIN and
SAIC, Romanow and Robinson
- Monday, July 21, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Guilt by association, at least motivation by association seems to be the underlying
theme as Mario reports on the cozy association Saskatchewan's government has had
with one of the world's leading arms dealers and developers.
|
- The gospel of
fairer taxes in accordance with the preachers: Mr. Robinson and Friar
Thomas d'Aquino
- Wednesday, July 23, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
The motivation behind the policies advocated by some of the "experts" needs
to be questioned. Mario suggests that the way of thinking may even be a problem as
the problem may not even be the problem.
|
- Our own understanding
is better than the managed objective truth: The 9-11 attacks, Al Qaeda
and Iraq
- Friday, July 25, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
American politicians are struggling with what constitutes the truth and what to do
about apparent deliberate attempts to give the public impressions of things that
are not even close to reality. This story includes some outstanding references and
needs your full attention.
|
- The No-Fault Insurance
of the Free Market: No fault with Dr. Cassidy, SGI, University of Saskatchewan
and Dr. McLennan
- Wednesday, August 13, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Three years ago we figured out that the provincial insurance company was using the
University of Saskatchewan to create some evidence for their no fault scheme. Now
the research has been declared invalid by the University's ethics committee but the
fools are still circling the wagons and the University's credibility and ability
to attract research is history.

- The game theory
of Policy Analysis Market (PAM):Bush's attempt to make terrorism a
commodity of the Free Market
- Wednesday, August 13, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Mario deSantis developed this remarkable story over a week ago but we were unable
to get it to you until now. Sometimes, and this is one of those times real events
are much wilder than anything anyone could dream up as fiction.
|
- An upside down
world led by the finest liars
- Friday, August 22, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Prior to the US invasion of Iraq there was no terrorism in the country now it is
an everyday occurance, as the country is still almost entirely without power, unemployment
is the norm and now even the UN attempting to bring aide to the place has taken a
serious hit as the man who had been expected to succeed the Secretary General is
a victim with many others including two Canadians. Mr. deSantis leads us to consider
some of the underlying issues, be sure to check out the references.

- Thank you again
Professor Paul Krugman: Some clarity on the $38 billion California
budget deficit
- Sunday, August 24, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Californians got seriously burned in the ENRON scandal which was partly to blame
for the energy crisis their state experienced. The campaign is on to oust the governor
but Professor Paul Krugman suggests that the truth may be getting in the way of a
good campaign. This one you have to read the references to get the story.

- Eduardo Galeano's
deep understanding of U.S. unsecure prosperity: defending the dollar
by sending Marines and by assuming markets
- Friday
September 5, 2003
By: Mario deSantis
Mario deSantis wrote this story Wednesday, it is important to note this fact because
today several world economists in an international meeting in Calgary reported their
extreme distress at the US economy which appears not only to be in serious trouble
but is also running up the biggest deficit in recent history. Several US politicans
referred to the growing unemployment and rising debt yesterday while the Dow dropped
84 points today.

- A world turned
upside down: Bush's $87 billion for Iraq, the Scandal of the Century
in Saskatoon
- Thursday
September 11, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
If you think you understand what is going on in this world you just haven't been
paying attention. Strange things and even stranger reasoning seems to propel the
world and its people, though it would nice if this were forward, the evidence is
that regression is now the norm.

- The Bush administration's
policies: against elimination of poverty, against the development of
democracy
- Friday
September 12, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
An analytical explanation of the divided world through the understanding of the exponential
curve in the Free Market. Noted author, with several books online Dr. J. W. Smith
is quoted in this story with references to the important issues which he and his
institute are so deeply concerned.

- China is growing
by waging peace, the Bush administration is regressing by waging war
- Thursday
September 18, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
In this story Mr. deSantis gives you the broad strokes of something that seems ironic
and that is that China is doing well by maintaining peace with its neighbours. To
fully appreciate this concept be sure to look over the references he has provided
you.

- Understanding
Bush's bloody dollar and American foreign policies
- Sunday
September, 21, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: You must read this story carefully because
both in Geoffrey Heard's explanation and in the references for this story is the
basic conditions that are allowing the United States to muddle along deeply in debt
and still considered the world's strongest economy.
|
- IMF and World
Bank: the international business of privatisation
- September 23, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This brief story summarises the underlying
issues that affect the development of the third world which is suppose to be one
of the goals of these American dominated institutions. Check out the references as
we have included some actual news stories from Dubia with a viewpoint from that part
of the world.
|
- Exporting the
American democracy in Iraq: The Free Market of Deregulation and Privatization
- Friday
September 26, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Mr. deSantis has spotted an interesting inversion
both criminals being placed in power and dogmatic imposition of economic formats
that are site specific. What works in America is not necessarily what will work in
Iraq, Afghanistan to Venezuela. The references on this story are exceptional and
give you an opportunity to explore this topicmuch more fully than an interpretive
summary.
|
- Bridging the divide
of an upsidedown world: Critical thinking with System Dynamics
- Monday
September 29, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The devolution of the third world continues
largely orchestrated by the United States as it sells more weapons than any other
country and the gap between rich and poor widens. Perhaps its time to think of this
problem some other way.
|
- American Wars
as an expansion of the privatisation of the Free Market: John Pilger
shows the truth behind the war on terror
- Wednesday
October 1, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin:The evidence is piling up and the extent of
the cruel lies and the consequences are coming home to roost in the American government's
leadership. This story includes a link to a streaming video by John Pilger that documents
what is really happening.
|
- The Race to the
Bottom of the Free Market
- Thursday
October 2, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: It seems that to increase profits, the goal
of business, is resulting in a never ending search for lower and lower wages that
increases the widening gap between extreme wealth and extreme poverty, world wide.
To add to this exaggerated devolution the United States has reintroduced warfare
as a business strategy.
|
- The Free Market
of Journalism: Leonard Asper
- Friday
October 3, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The Global television network and most of Canada's
newspaper are controlled by the Asper family from Winnipeg. Yesterday, Leonard wrote
an editorial in which he spells out what he thinks about things and it is implied
that his employees if they wish to remain employees had better agree. Mario deSantis
has provided you with a link to this interesting document and gives us he impression
of the implications.

- China's economic
experience: social tension, controlled privatization and sustained
economic growth
- Tuesday
October 7, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: We are so often told that there is only one
way to success and that's the American way. This story and the referenced material
it relies upon suggests that quite the contrary is true. There are many ways for
a country huge or tiny to find success in its own way unique to its culture and traditions.

- American Trade
Deficit and Jobs Losses: Econometric correlation to the undervalued
Chinese currency 'yuan/renminbi'
- Wednesday
October 8, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin / The Great Wall near Bejing: Economists and
political commentary on television love to use number to support their arguments
and points of view. Ultimately, this practice is truly misleading and ignores so
many contribution factors which, had they been considered, would have lead to quite
different conclusions. The United States is in financial trouble and blames
China for its woes when it is the cause of its own problems. This story explains
the missing parts that CNN's Lou Dobbs should have been able to explain, but
could not. As always, Mr. deSantis has provided you with some amazing references
that deal with this issue and what it means for the world economy.
|
- We have found
the enemy and it is the United States: Americans attack the Chinese
weapon of undervalued Yuan
- Friday
October 10, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The intention by United States and Israel to push for a regime change in
Syria is now taking shape and at the same time the economic forces are festering
in the United States as that country has identified the Chinese Yuan as the culprit
that is hurting its self abused trade deficit world position. This story gives you
the facts and the sources that will allow you to much more fully understand the economic
basis for this problem.
|
- The division of
the Free Market, Geo-Politics and Religious Dogmatism
- Monday
October 20, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The United States Deputy minister of Defense
is an active General in the United States Special Forces yet claims that God put
the US president in power and that he is confident because his God is bigger than
the enemy's God. This is not a joke.
|
- Another democratic
step forward in Bolivia: Gringo Gony Gonzalo Sanchez de Lozada has
gone
- Tuesday
October 21, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Once more the oppression of colonialism and
exploitation by the developed world has been sorted out as Bolivia changes presidents
and the pro-American former president flees to Miami. This story is accompanied by
borrowed images from various news sources taken yesterday and some outstanding references
that document the story.
|
- The Free Market
needs restructuring and Conventional Economists need a new mind: People
before Money, Employment before GDP
- Friday
October 24, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Throughout the world the economic situation
for all developing countries has been a failure for the past twenty years, since
the prominence of the World Bank and the International Monitary Fund with one single
exception, China. This very well researched article with its references exposes the
deep set cause for so much resentment and hostility toward the world's only remaining
superpower.

- Is this NDP Saskatchewan
Government a Jerk? The hiring of SAIC and the protecting of Police
Superintendent Brian Dueck
- Tuesday
October 28, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Based on the decision by the government to
continue to waste money on the SHIN project and use a United States military contractor
SAIC while still failing to do anything about the mess within the justice system,
Mr. deSantis does not want to see the NDP government re-elected. This story includes
a 936KB video clip.

in changing economic structures: Saskatchewan politics, Professor Shadia
Drury and the Bush's Straussians
- Thursday
October 30, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: A University of Saskatchewan Professor has
spotted the problems that stem from political leaders assuming a role as authoritarian
know it alls and what happens when they misslead their followers. This story has
some fascinating ramifications and you owe it to yourself to find out about Leo Strauss
and Professor Drury.
|
- Michel Chossudovsky
discerns the trees from the forest: The state is financing its own
indebtedness
- Tuessday
November 4, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: A loop develops whereby the financial industry and industry itself begins
to hold the debt of the government and so holds the governmental structures accountable
to their interests. This twist in democracy explains the politicians inclination
to serve business rather than voters.
|
- No Fault (Tort
Reform) Auto Insurance in Canada: Hypocritical regulations to appease
the Free Market
- Thursday
November 6, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Ontario and Alberta have private insurance,
astronomical rates and governments determined to reduce coverage to protect the motorist
from high rates and the insurance companies from their own investment stupidity,
so much for the natural consequences of the free market.
|
- The latest on
Bush's economic exports: war and democracy
- Friday
November 7, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Congress and Senate have approved the $87.5
billion in funds to rebuild Iraq as American corporations harvest the profits from
the process and the US president is now talking as though he wants to do the same
thing for China.
|
- A World of Hypocrisy:
Bush's Lies and U.S. Crony Capitalism
- Friday
November 14, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: There is a climate that is arising and even
though we share in the pride of the high thoughts of our former and new Prime Minister
they come in the light of the sad betrayal of Maher Arar and William Samson. It is
this divergence of reality that confounds us and Mario really only hints at the widening
gap between what is really happening and what we are being told. The United States
has created a mess and is about to make more mess by abandoning the country they
destroyed over the lies they have told. Similarly their economy is crumbling while
we are told they are recovering. This short story has some powerful references that
give the exploring reader a chance to see more clearly what is indeed happening.
|
- The Big Farce
of Free Speech in the Free Market: President George Bush and Secretary
of Defense Donald Rumsfeld
- Wednesday
November 19, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Weapons of mass destruction, regime change,
freeing the people of Iraq from a dictator all of these excuses to go to war seem
so hollow now as it becomes increasingly apparent that none of those things were
the objective. Now they flail away with rhetoric about terrorism when they themselves
define terrorism as attacks upon civilians while their forces are the only forces
attacking civilians and the people of Iraq are fighting back against soldiers and
they call that terrorism. You would wonder how they can go on day after day telling
thes tales, tales that even they can not believe.

- Sunday
November 23, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This story just gives you a hint of the very disturbing political issue
that is endangering our little planet. Mr. deSantis has provided you with an outstanding
list of references that go far beyond supporting the points he makes but gives you
an opportunity to research the serious problem that faces mankind.

- Tuesday
November 25, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The arms financiers and weapons dealer company the Carlyle Group is not
a matter of fiction but a real corporation and this story shows you who is in that
company. Their latest project is to sort out one of their fellows, Lord Black and
his Hollinger company.
|
- The Free Market
according to president Bush and his brother Neil
Short term gains and long term pains
- Thursday
November 27, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This story and its references is hinting at
a disturbing problem with human nature. It seems that like leopards humans are pretty
much the way they are if raised in a specific mindset and culture there is little
chance of them being able to alter their perception and means of dealing with the
world.

of the American Free Market and the fallacy of Productivity: Agricultural
subsidies, steel tariff, quota on bras, and casualties of wars
- Wednesday
December 3, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Though the Americans preach the wonders of
the free market system yet at every turn they do everything possible to undermine
and conflict with that same system when it is not to their advantage. This story
has outstanding references that illustrate the points made.
|
- Congratulations
for your "Foot in Mouth Award" Mr. Misleader Rumsfeld!
- Saturday
December 6, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: We all chuckled at the convolutions of the American Secretary of Defence's
responses but it now is official his "unknown knowns" recitation has been
rewarded with the "Foot in Mouth Award".
|
- The United States
is officially breaking the constitutionality of the Rule of Law
- Sunday
December 7, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This dramatic series of quotes points out the dangerous cross over the world's
remaining superpower has taken as it now considers only it to be able to judge what
is right and unless the issue is in that country's interest it will carry out whatever
action it chooses.

December 12, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Howard Dean, the former governor of Vermont
seems to be taking the lead in the American Democratic nomination process and further
gathered momentium this week when the Democratic candidate from the last presidential
election Al Gore endorsed Dean because of his appropriate attitude toward the Iraq
mistake.
|
- The ultimate deception
of Bush's Free Market: "You are either with us or against us"
- Saturday
December 13, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The American press and news media are now beginning
to take some hard shots at the American President and what his policies are doing
both to the economy and the credibility of the country in general. Ultimately the
Americans have to accept the contempt that they as a people are going to be viewed
for their conduct during this first part of the century. This story hurls out the
points you must ask yourselves and the references provide you with some unpleasant
answers.
|
- A deeper Free
Market in Canada: Charest fights for his privatisation of Quebec
- Sunday
December 14, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: It appears as though the government of Quebec
like that of British Columbia has begun a process of reducing the numbers of public
workers and reducing the earns of those still employed while moving more government
services into the private sector. The unfortunate facts are that there is no evidence
to support the economic positive affects of such action while at the same time the
public will be subjected to strikes and the kinds of problems that brought Ontario
situations like Walkerton and the inability of Toronto to deal with a medical crisis.

- The malfeasances
of Bush's Free Market: Halliburton's profits and failure to securitize
the Iraqi Army
- Monday
December 15, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: Something is very rotten in the state of Iraq
as Vice President Cheney who still gets $400,000 a year from his company Halliburton
each year is charging many times more than a reasonable profit for services and products
while the Iraqi Army looks to be very suspicious. Can anyone say "Vietnam?"

Nipawin: Mario is a regular serious contributor to this

of Italians and their way of life.

- The Scandal of
the Century: Saskatchewan Authorities found guilty of malicious prosecution
- Monday,
January 12, 2003
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The trial is over and the judge has ruled that
the prosecutor, the police investigator and a therapist all worked together to maliciously
prosecute a number of people sending one person to jail for a crime that not only
did the accused not committ but a crime that never ever occurred. This story gives
some insight into the thoughts that went into the judge's decision.
|
- The hypocrisy
of conventional economic gurus: Exporting America and combating terrorism
- Tuesday
January 13, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This story and its wealth of references point
out the preculiar and conflicting conclusions that the economic gurus have drawn
about the negative economic conditions that are engulfing the world as a result of
the selfish behaviour of the United States.
|
- Despotism and
the hypocrisy of the top 1% class: A game of lies at the expense of
people at large
- Wednesday
January 14, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This story is just a brief summary of the research
that went into its conclusions. It is clear that there is something very rotten in
the republic to the South of us as the wealth of that nation is consolidating in
only the smallest minority of people. This is not just an American problem because
a similar trend is occuring here, it is simply unavoidable because of the integrated
economy that has evolved.

- Privatising Justice
at the expense of public interest: President Bush, Saskatchewan Justice
Minister Frank Quennel, Premier Berlusconi
- Thursday
January 15, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The equation that determines who is being served
by governmental action is something that so often seems much less apparent than it
should. The assumption that we have government and authority to serve and protect
the over all good for all people is so often discretionary and sadly sometimes just
plainly self serving by the elected official.

- Servant Leadership
and Common Sense versus Selfish Leadership and Specific Clarity: The
case of the demented Saskatchewan Justice
- Tuesday
January 20, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: The astonishing refusal of the Saskatchewan
Government to accept the overwhelming decision by the court on malicious prosecution
of the Klassen family really calls into question the whole point of government. The
ruling was completely and totally in favour of the Klassen family and the idea of
rule of law should be the guiding principle but apparently there is a lesson to be
learned here.
|
- One condition
for world social and economic growth: The United Sates must learn from
the principle "give more, take less"
- Thursday
January 22, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: It is a pretty long stretch to imagine the
United States acting as former Prime Minister Chretien once suggested "be nice".
But this story suggests that the country that most threatens peace on the planet
has to re-evaluate its behaviour if things are going to improve. Martin Luther King
was murdered in that country but he was leading at the time of his death a crusade
to make the changes needed.

- Friday
January 23, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin: This week when the Governor of the Bank of
Canada announced the reduction in the Canadian interest rate he asked Canadian businesses
to "increase the productivity". Indeed, he like so many present day economists
worship a false god called "GDP" and when the Free Market deals them a
natural consequence their response is to fiddle with the economic monster they have
themselves created.

Nipawin: This is a very complex article as Mario deSantis
explains that private and public good can be extraordinarily confused and this should
not be the case. Read this story carefully and check out the wealth of references
the help to explain the problem.

Nipawin: Logic is an unforgiving thing and we are being
asked to forego logic so that new situations do not make the past the lie that it
most surely was. If there were no weapons of mass destruction then what possible
reason was there for a war with Iraq. It is now established, there were no such weapons.

inquiry: a cover up on top of another and of another…

Nipawin : There is no surprise that Americans are about
to look a little deeper into the actions of their government as it relates the Iraq
War and the attempt to blame it on faulty intelligence is the latest gamble to deflect
the hard and serious finger pointing that is going on as the United States is into
its election year.

Nipawin: It seems impossible for the American dream
to have much of a future as the simple logic that Free Market and democracy are incompatible
concepts.

Nipawin : When its dog eat dog, a level of merciless
develops, everything is a fight and everyone loses. Democracy is not about economic
cannibalism, but the economic forces that are at the root of the dog fight are less
than human.

- Is there any malice
in Bush's newspeak?
- Thursday
February 12, 2004
by: Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The economic woes of the individual citizens
of the United States are far more concerning in this election year than foreign wars
and security. There are so many Americans out of work and so many who have simply
quit looking and this is what makes the president's statement last Sunday seem nasty
to the point of being malicious.

Nipawin : Living in the approach of World War II George
Orwell wrote about a frightening world where the official line was accepted even
thinking against the government was a crime. As thing seem to spin further and further
beyond what could possibly considered a real world it looks an awful lot like the
world George Orwell was describing in his novel.

- Have governments
reduced their citizens to Doublethinkers?

by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The frightening reality is that Orwellian
thought, so much a part of the 1930s, that George Orwell dramatised in his novel
1984, seems like the environment of today. War is peace, freedom is slavery and as
this story points out the power of "doublethink" is becoming common place.

Nipawin : What is so hard to confront is the realisation
that if we listen to what the US president and his government say it not only doesn't
add up it doesn't make any sense either.

Nipawin : While in the short term there is economic
ruin with more problems expected in the spring but there now is hope. Senator John
Kerry will be the Democratic candidate to face Bush in November and it may be harder
this time for him to fix the election.

- The questionable
use of 9/11 images in Bush’s TV ads: Was 9/11 luck or Bush’s No Fault
Government?
- Friday
March 5, 2004
by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : Though many question the appropriate use of
images from the 9/11 tragedy it is far more disconcerting to take into account the
actions of the US government that may or may not have been linked to the event. The
commission looking into the event is not getting much administrative cooperation
and there may be a good reason for that.

Bush is no match for the reflective John Kerry

by : Mario deSantis
Nipawin : The American presidential election is now
in full campaign mode and already the two leaders are decidely different in their
approach to things. Kerry thinks about things Bush deals with all things in his standard
Texas way, brash, bold and boisterous.
