COMMENT: By almost any metric, Canada is worse off than it was 10 years ago when the Liberals took power. Canadians are poorer. Public services have deteriorated. People are dying waiting for medical care. Even life expectancy and the birthrate have dropped. And that’s not all.  While housing costs have gone up by $43 per day since the Liberals were elected, violence — including gun violence — has spiked across the country. The national debt has increased, military preparedness has dropped and the economy has stagnated.

REPLY: Carney is doing a good job of exaggerating Trump’s comments. That’s who he has been running against – not the Conservatives. Carney is part of the LEFT Globalist Agenda.

Carney Canada to Replace USA

COMMENT: Martin,

Had to laugh here’s a comment about Janice Stein and Mark Carney.

As my father in law always said, “in the valley of the blind the one eyed man sees the most.”

The world is full of Academics that have no clue, too many people playing business and politics with other people’s money and lives!

“Janice Stein Endorsed Carney .
Canada’s Leading, Most Respected Political Scientist and International Affairs Expert Janice Stein
saying “Mark Carney is the “World’s Leading Economist” and Could very well lead the “Whole World” through the Trump Crisis, let alone Canada.”
Stein isn’t just a leading voice in Canada—she’s recognized worldwide for her expertise in conflict resolution, global governance, and international relations. When someone of her global standing says this, it’s a big deal!
Janice Gross Stein is Canada’s leading, most respected political scientist and international affairs expert.”

When a third of the country works for the Government, and a third is living off the Government, it sure makes it hard for the other third to vote for a Government.

Unfortunately, this Monday, Canada will witness another Liberal win, which will confirm your forecast that Canada will split!

It’s just time!

Carney Schwab King Maker

REPLY: Carney was a key player in this Net-Zero nonsense, and he has lied about everything and acts like he is running against Trump – nobody else. I have not yet confirmed that the coup at the WEF was also in hopes of supporting Carney to claim he is not truly linked to Schwab, since he is no longer there. Trudeau resigned to avoid a NO CONFIDENCE vote, which would have led to the loss of power for the Liberals. Every step of this game is to retain power for the LEFT.

Carney is the instrument of Canada’s demise, for the LEFT will always burn down their own houses to protest against the RIGHT. Carney offers nothing that will benefit Canada, and the joke that Canada will replace the USA as the new leader of the world is laughable. Canada is highly socialistic, so the “income inequality” is lower, just like Communist Russia and China, which ultimately caused their demise. The productivity of the US compared to Canada explains the cost of the more regulations that Canada adopts, following Marx’s socialist philosophy.

  • United States: $76,643
  • Canada: $56,316
    The U.S. GDP per capita is about 36% higher than Canada’s in nominal terms.

The U.S. indeed has higher inequality, so that median income disparities may be less pronounced. The U.S. generally has higher labor productivity due to greater investment in innovation and technology. The U.S. population (332 million) is nearly 9x larger than Canada’s (38 million), the US economy accounts for 25% of the entire world’s consumer spending, which is why the US is the reserve currency of the world because everyone has to sell whatever products for export to Americans – not Canadians.

Canada Resist

Carney’s Vision of Replacing the United States as New World Leader

There has been a coup at the World Economic Forum because these very LEFTIST views and agendas are collapsing. So, Carney wants to lead the world on a sinking ship? As one reader put it.

“It appears from here, at first glance, that the WEF is repainting its storefront in an effort to stay in business while narrowing its attacks on the global food supply chain to taking control of the water supply.  Same depopulation goal, new coat of paint.”

FA in Arkansas

Military:

The US has one of the largest militaries globally, with approximately 1.3 million active-duty personnel, with 800,000 reserves, which is the highest globally at $877 billion (2023), about 3.5% of GDP.

Canada has around 68,000 active personnel and 27,000 reserves, which cost $26.5 billion (2023), roughly 1.3% of GDP.

The US military is a global powerhouse with unmatched scale and technology, while Canada’s smaller force emphasizes specialized roles, alliances, and domestic/Arctic security. Their cooperation through NATO and NORAD underscores a strategic partnership, with Canada often leveraging US capabilities for broader defense needs. Yet, Carney is claiming that Canada will now lead the world? Differences in budget and scope reflect distinct national priorities.

The 2025 Canadian federal election will be held on April 28 to elect members of the House of Commons to the 45th Canadian Parliament. The problem with Canada is that the Parliamentary System does not allow the people to vote for who should lead the country. Carney would never become president in the United States, where 42% would be the loser. The problem is that governments are cobbled together with coalitions, and this is what prevents any true economic progress for the future.

CAN LF Combine 2024

The LEFT has been declining since its high in 1949, necessitating coalition governments to remain relevant. Trudeau only won 32.62% of the vote in 2021. Carney should beat that since the 2021 election was most likely the bottom of a 72-year cycle. Additionally, the higher percentage of the workforce employed by the government in Canada naturally gives them an edge over conservatives. The rate of the US workforce employed in government is 13.8%, compared to 18.6% in Canada. This is what has lowered the Marxist view of “income equality” in Canada vs the USA.

We will do an Update on the threat of Canada Splitting soon.

DAVOS & Left are not known for their Intelligence

Nigel Farage 2019 WEC

COMMENT: Nigel Farage said that your WEC events were the “alternative to Davos,” but you also don’t gouge people as Schwab does. He charges between 500,000 and 700,000 CHF to be a member and 27,000 CHF to attend Davos. Your forecasts come true, theirs never do. Our firm did not renew for 2025 after Trump won the election. Our board follows your projections, not those of the World Economic Forum (WEF). You’re correct, you went there only for political connections, not for the forecasts. Their failure to achieve Agenda 2030 is apparent. Schwab’s board members have been placed in high positions, from the ECB and the EU, as well as with the gullible like Trudeau and Carney in Canada.

Nigel’s Reform Party is now also in first place. This is because he shares your philosophy, not Schwab’s.

You are the only real forecaster and the genuine alternative to Davos.

Flatening the Curve

REPLY: Thank you. In all honesty, Schwab was never right because he is an academic caught up in the Marxist theory that the government has the power to control and alter the direction of the economy and society. Nobody has ever been able to change the business cycle, let alone “flatten the curve” of a virus.

WEF Board Members
WEF.BoardofTrustees

He stuffed political positions with his star pupils and bragged about infiltrating so many cabinets, especially those of the Liberal Party in Canada and in New Zealand. 

The lockdown destroyed the economy because these people only look at a single issue and cannot understand that (1) we are all connected, and (2) the lockdown failed to reverse the climate change nonsense, which was the fundamental objective, nor did it stop the virus that comes back seasonally. The WEF was proud of the lockdowns.

Boycots

What they just did to Schwab is consistent throughout history: the LEFT is always the most violent. They always view themselves as the victims of the RIGHT because they work for their money and get ahead. The LEFT revolutions of 1848 and the early 20th century have killed hundreds of millions. Nothing will ever change in this regard.

Citizen Journalist Captures Images of U.S. Fighter Jets or Reaper Drones Being Loaded into Ukrainian Cargo Planes, Destination Poland


Posted originally on CTH onApril 26, 2025 | Sundance

It is alarming how President Trump is calling for ceasefire talks while the U.S. government is simultaneously providing Ukraine with either fighter jets or M9 Reaper Drones to fly against Russia.

The stunning image captured in Arizona shows a Ukrainian Antonoff 225 the biggest transport plane, operated by Ukrainian transport company, being loaded with either M9 Reaper Drones (see picture below) or F-16/35 fighter jets.

In the background left (red tractor flatbed) you can see either an M9 Reaper drone or U.S. fighter ready for transport (white wrapped).  Toward the rear of the Antonoff cargo plane you can see another (black tractor flatbed).  Both aerial war assets are being loaded into the Antonoff 225 transport, and there are likely more not visible in the picture.

.

.

Some users on Twitter have said the cargo looks more like F-16 or F-35 fighter jets; that’s entirely possible.  However, when you look closely at the profile and the component parts visible near the forklift it seems more likely to be M9 Reaper Drone component parts (look closely) and see below for comparative assembled imagery.

.

.

According to user account “DD Geopolitics” on Twitter, “the cargo plane is now en route to Rzeszów, Poland, after a stop at Portsmouth International Airport in New Hampshire.”

What are your thoughts on the U.S. providing drones or fighter craft while President Trump is trying to organize a ceasefire.

Keep in mind, whatever they are – Russia is obviously aware these ongoing transports are taking place.

President Trump Delivers Statement on Current Negotiations for Ceasefire in Ukraine


President Donald Trump is the most transparent president in modern history, perhaps ever.  In a statement delivered from his truth social account, President Trump outlines his thinking on the current status of the Ukraine -v- Russia conflict.

[President Trump] – “No matter what deal I make with respect to Russia/Ukraine, no matter how good it is, even if it’s the greatest deal ever made, The Failing New York Times will speak BADLY of it. Liddle’ Peter Baker, the very biased and untalented writer for The Times, followed his Editor’s demands and wrote that Ukraine should get back territory, including, I suppose, Crimea, and other ridiculous requests, in order to stop the killing that is worse than anything since World War II.

Why doesn’t this lightweight reporter say that it was Obama who made it possible for Russia to steal Crimea from Ukraine without even a shot being fired. It was also Liddle’ Peter who wrote an absolutely fawning, yet terribly written Biography, on Obama. It was a JOKE! Did Baker ever criticize the Obama Crimea Giveaway? NO, not once, only TRUMP, and I’ve had nothing to do with this stupid war, other than early on, when I gave Ukraine Javelins, and Obama gave them sheets.

This is Sleepy Joe Biden’s War, not mine. It was a loser from day one, and should have never happened, and wouldn’t have happened if I were President at the time. I’m just trying to clean up the mess that was left to me by Obama and Biden, and what a mess it is.

With all of that being said, there was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days. It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through “Banking” or “Secondary Sanctions?” Too many people are dying!!! [SOURCE]

Of course, Russian President Vladimir Putin is in no hurry for a ceasefire. In fact, Putin likely views the U.S. political situation with President Trump as temporary, and he is trying to isolate the risk represented by the U.S. intelligence operations which President Trump does not directly control.

Russian President Putin just watched as the western intelligence services cancelled the election outcome in Romania.

Given the recent U.S. State Dept (USAID/CIA) efforts in Poland (successful), Hungary (fail), Moldova (successful), Georgia (fail) and Romania (successful), Putin sees the challenge his nation will face in the future with very clear eyes.

Vladimir Putin is the one who is not pretending in this dynamic.

The Awakening – Look Carefully at This Picture


Posted originally on CTH on April 26, 2025 | Sundance 

From the outset of the Ukraine -vs- Russia conflict I have been saying this is “world war Reddit”. CTH awakens today to this photo, blasting across the geopolitical landscape.

I want you to look carefully at this picture; think about it and elevate yourself to understand exactly what this picture represents in the biggest framework of our ongoing discussion. The image origin: “Photographs released by the Ukrainian presidency showed the two leaders huddled in close discussion without aides in the ornate surroundings of St. Peter’s Basilica.”

This scene is purposefully staged.

This scene is staged by the control agents who control the Ukraine conflict, the intelligence community.

President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump attended the funeral of Pope Francis to pay their respects on the international stage.

Let me be clear. The people around President Trump do not and did not align with this photo-op, it’s genuinely in poor taste and bad form given the nature of the background event, the funeral for Pope Francis.  However, fearless President Trump knows exactly what this represents just as businessman Donald Trump knows how the seating is arranged in high stakes business negotiations; the sun at the back of the person wanting to be in the power position.

Again, we should stay elevated and see the bigger picture here because it is incredibly important.

When it comes from CNN, it’s coming from the PR firm of the State Dept., and who controls the State Dept, the CIA.

CNN: How the pope’s funeral format allowed for Trump-Zelensky talk

The meeting occurred just outside the Baptistry Chapel, which is inside St. Peter’s Basilica near its entrance, and the talk hadn’t been telegraphed in advance.

Ahead of the president’s brief visit to Rome, officials had downplayed the prospect he would meet with Zelensky or any other world leaders, pointing to the truncated time frame for the trip and its solemn purpose of memorializing the late pope.

Trump had originally selected Saudi Arabia for his first stop abroad of his new term and will visit there next month. But when Francis died those plans changed, and instead Trump made his first foreign stop in Europe, a continent he’s railed against frequently.

The seating chart and crush of fellow leaders made brief interactions possible, including with leaders Trump had seemingly been avoiding since taking office. He engaged briefly with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, with whom he hadn’t spoken at all since returning to office amid trade and defense disputes with the European Union. [SOURCE]

President Trump, a man of respectful honor, indeed would expect to engage in polite and quiet conversation with Zelenskyy, Macron, Starmer et al, at the funeral.  Yes, he would quietly have a conversation in a private room with the principals to quickly discuss political affairs.  That’s his style. That’s the way he operates, retaining focus and respect toward the purpose of the gathering, holding quick conversation in private and retaining emphasis on the purpose.

THIS IS NOT THAT.

This is a stage set for the optics of a geopolitical conflict that involves Ukraine and Russia, and this stage is set up by the same controlling agents who have been in control of the events since the outset.  This stage is why CTH instinctively knew the conflict was World War Reddit.

What are we seeing?

The intelligence communities’ control western government.  The government does not control the intelligence communities.  This reality is the core of the great awakening that reconciles every facet of the conflict present and visible.

When things do not make sense; when things are unnatural and fraught with irreconcilable datapoints stemming from traditional perspectives that no longer align with what is visible; that’s because the intelligence apparatus is in control of it.  Every example you can cite returns to this basic truth.

All of the western government systems, the “new democracy” as it is called, stem from a radically different construct.  The intelligence services control the government; the government does not control the intelligence services.

The conflict in Ukraine exists because western intelligence services are controlling it.  The reality is this “war” is not the Russian government -vs- the governments of various western nations in support of Ukraine.  The true conflict is the western intelligence community vs the Russian government.

Vladimir Putin does not hate Americans.  The Russian President hates the CIA.

When envoy Steve Witkoff is representing President Trump in his discussions with Vladimir Putin, Witkoff and Trump represent the government.  However, the government is not the real control agent and Putin together with Trump/Witkoff know this.

Vladimir Putin and Donald J Trump are mutually aligned entities in a fight against western intelligence services.  That’s the core understanding that must be at the forefront of any review or intellectually honest analysis of what is taking place.

The vulnerability within the position of the Western Intel Services, is that they must hide this reality.  The IC must retain the illusion that government is in control of geopolitical events, because if that control mask is dropped everything changes.  And I do mean EVERYTHING.

Everything that was irreconcilable suddenly starts to make sense when you accept that government is not in control, the government does not have the power.  The intelligence services control government and the intel agencies are currently the source of geopolitical power.  The politicians are the illusion of representative democracy that must be retained.

That’s what this image should represent to everyone!

….”Once you see the strings on the marionettes you can never return to that moment in the performance when you did not see them.”….

♦ If the United States President pulls all USA support away from Ukraine and instructs all elements of the USA government to withdraw support for the conflict, and yet the conflict continues with ongoing CIA operations, then what does that say about who really is in control?

Can you see the stakes at play for the CIA?

♦ When Marco Rubio says, repeatedly now, that “this is not our war” and “we didn’t start this war,” having previously asserted, “It’s been very clear from the beginning that President Trump views this as a protracted, stalemated conflict,” Rubio said. “And frankly, it’s a proxy war between nuclear powers, the United States helping Ukraine, and Russia,” is the former Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee being honest now, or is Secretary of State Rubio attempting to clean up the inconvenient truth he said originally?

Can you see the stakes for the CIA?

I digress…

There are corporations and financial systems that intersect with the politicians; and those politicians are controlled by the Intelligence Community.

That is the very essential baseline for The Great Awakening!!

[ps. If you really wanted to join me in the rabbit hole; and knowing how important this moment is to the control agents; meaning how much they needed to get back control after Trump threatened to walk away from the conflict; then please accept I am 50/50 on how Pope Francis died. Was it really a natural death or was it the result of the IC needing a geopolitical event -like a funeral- to bring all of the principal actors together.]
