The Wars and Civil Wars of “Political Warriors” and Their Controlling Elites




"We are not going to achieve a new world order without paying for it in blood as well as in words and money." Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., in Foreign Affairs (July/August 1995)

The political warriors who never fight in battle have a lot to of blood on their hands. They are the decision makers and creators of hell on earth. Millions are dead or maimed. Cities and homes destroyed. But the political warriors and their controlling elites are still alive. Some of them, if they run true to form, are probably planning and plotting more mayhem. Below are some countries that are now worse off, since the political puppets and their elitist fraternity brought “democracy” and a “responsibility to protect” to these unfortunate countries. Dare one call these elitists and dangerous political poltroons the “Respectable Gangsters of the Earth?” [1]

Iraq: Which was invaded under the slogan it had, “weapons of mass destruction” turned out to be a lie. Over a million dead civilians, children dead or contaminated by depleted uranium and pregnant women birthing deformed babies because of the contamination.  Now there is a bloody civil war raging, people are dying every day, and the perpetrators of the war are free and hailed as statesmen. Soldiers are dead and dying and some cannot even get their benefits after serving their country in this unholy war. Others are disillusioned and dying. They too are victims. [2] [2a]

Libya: Was another illegal war and the country is now in chaos and a civil war and killings take place daily. The country that was bombed non-stop for months by the order of the gang of “political warriors” is now a shattered shell. One dangerous political buffoon even had a “fly past” to celebrate this “bloody victory” in which Al-Qaeda and NATO (supposed enemies) were both “helping” each other. Still, these “warriors of politics” called themselves “Friends of Libya.” [3] People must surely say and think, with “friends like these who needs enemies.”

Syria: This country is now a hell on earth with reports of over a 100,000 dead, Cities and towns destroyed. Refugees pouring into other countries, children dead, maimed or parentless and the carnage still goes on and on.
The political warriors make noises about how terrible all this is, while some of them make bloody profits from selling death and destruction around the world. [4] Now the trail of blood leads to Ukraine.

Ukraine: Another country now on fire and the same “experts” are involved. “Leaders of the International Community” and their “Ministers of Foreign Affairs” beating their breasts about how terrible it all is, while encouraging and paying for the “performance” of agent provocateurs. [4a] Sick and evil are the only words to describe these political hypocrites and their evil agendas.
An article in the American Conservative Magazine of February 7, 2014 by James Carden stated:
“Consider the comments of European Commission President Manuel Barroso. In a press conference held in Milan on December 9, Barroso twice appealed to Ukrainians to ‘have the courage and go out and fight.’” [4b]
And it just so happens that the undemocratic E.U. would like to have Ukraine in its cabal of member states, some of whom never asked their peoples’ whether they wanted to join. There are powerful forces at play and so-called “trade deals” are on the agendas TPP, CETA,[5] TTIP[6] are some of them. If these deals are signed millions of people and their countries would be incorporated into a huge controlled and massive bureaucracy. National Sovereignty would be a thing of the past, and the corporate New World Order would have achieved another of its goals.

 “Free trade is the serial killer of American manufacturing and the Trojan Horse of World Government. It is the primrose path to the loss of economic independence and national sovereignty. Free trade is a bright shining lie.” Patrick Buchanan, Author and Journalist.
As can be seen by the above information there are many connections to what is happening in our world today. It is like a giant octopus of evil whose tentacles reach into every segment of society and countries. We perhaps, in some of these countries may as yet be untouched by all this bloody carnage and destruction. We may have not yet felt the pain, suffering and misery of the helpless victims. But make no mistake if these globalist elites and their political puppets have no qualms about the depredations and destruction they have unleashed, then we could be the next victims to receive their evil attentions. Which would be suitably marketed of course, under the banner of “bringing democracy” and “responsibility to protect.”

Selling The Budget With Synchronized Thumbs



Selling The Budget With Synchronized Thumbs
(Imaginary Satire) By Stephen J. Gray

The Hacks, the Flacks, the Gofers and the Grovellers were all gathered together preparing and brainstorming for Budget Day. Ideas were being thrown around as to how to prepare the grand entrance down the stairs to the entrance of the parliamentary foyer by the PM and the Finance Minister on Budget Day.

After many exhaustive talks and presentations they had come up with a plan for a great photo op at the bottom of the stairs. The plan was this; the Finance Minister and the PM would come down the stairs in lockstep. They would be as always, dressed impeccably and their hair styles would look well groomed as usual. A little bit of touch up of “just for men” for the Finance Minister, the PM’s hair would be perfectly in place as he had a personal hairdresser so there would be no worries in that department.

Still, it was felt that the main prop for the big moment, the planned thumbs up together at the bottom of the stairs needed some practice synchronization. So they had some practice runs, but unfortunately there were some glitches. Sometimes Jimmy’s thumb would come up before Stevie’s and sometimes Stevie’s thumb would come up before Jimmy’s. How to get them to pop up uniformly together was proving a problem.

So a crisis meeting was held and the communications director took the floor and said “Listen guys and gals we are being paid big taxpayer dollars as strategists, marketers, publicists and BS merchants so let’s get this right. Or as a former straight-shooting colleague would say let’s ‘double make sure’ all this is in proper order.”

The director had just finished speaking when a hand went up from amongst the crowded highly paid help. “Speak up, man” said the stressed out communication director, “what do you suggest? I am sorry I do not know your name, because there are so many of us feeding off the peoples’ tax dollars, I cannot keep track of them all.”

“Don’t worry about my name,” said the voice. “I prefer to remain anonymous amongst the packed party workers assembled here. Anyway here is my suggestion. Why don’t we fit Jimmy oops I mean the Finance Minister, and Stevie, oops, I mean the PM with earpieces before they come down the stairs with their fixed smiles and Budget Books in hand. When they reach the bottom and stop, we have central control up here shout into their earpieces Thumbs up Now. Or Synchronize Now. Whichever is easier for them to understand and commit too. And just to make ‘double make sure,’ we will have a backup person at the bottom of the stairs who will signal with Two Thumbs Up or a Big Wink of the Eye and silently mouth Thumbs up Now in case the earpieces malfunction. Just one cautionary note, the backup person should have clearance to be at the bottom of the stairs and perhaps be wearing a blue tie or something so that the Finance Minister and PM know he is one of us.”

“A great idea” said the communications director. The assembled BS merchants, all burst into applause, and one guy was heard to say, “why didn’t I think of that?” Another highly paid strategist was heard to say, “what a bunch of thumb-suckers we are. But hey, it’s all in a days work for the taxpayers”

Some News from Nonsenseland



Nonsenseland was continuing to live up to its name and nonsense was almost a daily occurrence. A former Master of Politics (MP) was discovered to be working for an arm of the government that spied on people, while he, at the same time was a lobbyist for a big corporation. Still, he did say he had made ‘double make - sure’ that this was okay and anyway he needed to work. Still, he would have a nice big government pension to look forward too in the future, that ordinary residents of Nonsenseland could only dream of.

Anyway, some people complained about this “straightshooter” and he resigned his appointment with the Land’s government. Here was a guy doing two jobs and some people complained. Hopefully, some in the corporate world will come to his aid, as he needs to work. Perhaps, with his experience he could run as a Liberal provincially, as he was promoting the Liberals in the last provincial election even though he is a Tory. Could this be called Solidarity politics? Just kidding, of course.

Meanwhile, the leader of Nonsenseland had arrived back from an overseas trip. A trip that included numerous freeloaders, oops, pardon me, I mean free enterprisers who had their trip paid for them by the taxpayers. Some cynics were upset about this, since the great leader had once stated everybody should learn to live within their means. Anyway, it was a good trip for all concerned except of course for those who paid for it, still this was the taxpayers’ lot in life, to be beasts of burden for the great leader who called them all his “friends.”

 Another Budget was due to be unveiled in the Land and it was reported that, “free lunches and refreshments” would be provided to a number of hungry experts who would be in the “budget lockup.” This was a good use of taxpayers’ dollars because it has been said at times it is hard to think on an empty stomach. Hopefully, those in the lockup will be able to think and thank the government for their meals and report it on their income tax forms. After all, the Finance Minister is reported as saying, “there is no free lunch.”

The good news is, that the Budget will soon be balanced and it is expected everybody will be cheering and applauding this momentous announcement. Though there are some party poopers who are saying a monkey could balance the Budget as the taxpayers are being right royally screwed every time they buy anything. Just about everything is taxed and the government takes a part of every transaction. Some people liken this to a type of  infestation by political parasites.[1] Others are saying they are tax slaves. [2]

Still, the Land has an economic action plan and it is all paid for by the peoples’ tax dollars. What could be nicer than that? Giving the corporate media big advertising dollars paid for by taxpayers and the government advertising itself courtesy of the taxpayers? Is that not a Ponzi-man’s dream using the peoples’ money to promote the government? Organized crime must be thinking they should be in politics. [3] Hey, I am only kidding. This Land’s government is a government of accountability and transparency and is always very clear, real clear and always makes itself clear. So what could be clearer than that?

Sochi-washing the Masses





Give the people games and then they won’t think
Feed them excitement as they blink
Who cares if there’s austerity just get on with the show
Sochi-wash the masses, let the BS grow

The “news makers” are here, and up for the “games”
Let’s all clap and cheer the Olympic flame
The elites are all here, it’s time to party
Just keep feeding the masses more marketed malarkey

Games and more games to cheer the serfs
As they watch the spectacles from around the earth
Meanwhile children are dying in endless wars
Financed and promoted by the war games curs

“Bread and Circuses” are still in the “modern age”
“And Ancient Rome is back” says a worthy sage
Do modern day Nero’s and Caligula’s rule?
“Don’t be silly,” says a grovelling political fool

“The masses love to be taxed and entertained”
The next games extravaganza has already been named
Wars, austerity and games and more games
Are good diversions as are Olympic flames

The rulers of the World are in control
The people everywhere have a role
They are taxed to the max and pay and pay
Sochi-washing the masses is the flavour of the day

No Austerity for the Globalists in Davos




“If globalization has a spiritual home, it’s Davos, the Swiss ski resort that will play host to a who’s who of the planet’s decision-makers from Jan. 22 to 25. The annual meeting of the World Economic Forum is devoted to ‘improving the state of the world,...’”  Bloomberg Business Week, January 16, 2014. [1]

Davos, Switzerland is where most of the world’s “elites” congregate yearly to discuss and plan their vision of the world. This year “2,500 of globalisation's movers and shakers”[1b] are assembling there in all the luxury befitting their status as a world “super species,” as they plot and plan their future “global operations.” There is nothing they do not have a plan for, or a solution to. “This year's theme is ‘Reshaping the world’"[1b] They are clever people and some of them are “philanthropists” and know how to keep their wealth intact. You, the ordinary taxpaying citizen help maintain their comfort zone. Some of them have tax-free foundations, offshore tax havens [1a] and all the other tax-free perks that enables them to live the good life, at your expense; after all, you have to pay taxes and do not have their power or influence. [2]

“Davos people control virtually all international institutions, many of the world’s governments, and the bulk of the world’s economic and military capabilities.” - Samuel P. Huntington [2a]

Among the influential people who usually attend will be bankers and corporate chieftains, some of whom were bailed out with taxpayers’ dollars. Other usual attendees are representatives from the unelected International Monetary Fund (IMF) a banking cabal, financed by taxpayers dollars that has imposed austerity on a number of countries, Greece and Ireland are already suffering from their imposed “financial wisdom” and there is more to come for other countries. Austerity is the great panacea promoted by these unelected financial dictators of austerity. [3]

“Davos Culture is very much in tune with the rise of the egocentric “60's generation” whose vaunted “idealism” has turned out to be hedonism and decadence.” [7]

There will be no austerity in Davos. This could be called the place where Mammon, materialism, profits, planned politics, war makers and power congregate under one roof all with the aim of “improving the state of the world.” I’m sure all the taxpaying serfs, refugees, those who are unemployed, the sick, the homeless and victims of war [4] are all “happy” to hear that “Davos Man” has their welfare at heart.

“...Harvard Professor Samuel P. Huntington described Davos Man (a phrase that first got widespread attention in the 1990s) as an emerging global superspecies — and a threat. The members of this class, he wrote, are people who ‘have little need for national loyalty, view national boundaries as obstacles that thankfully are vanishing, and see national governments as residues from the past whose only useful function is to facilitate the élite's global operations.’” [2]

And one could argue that national governments are facilitating the elites’ global operations. I believe this is being done under the banner of “secretive” and “hidden” so-called “trade deals.” [5] [6] [7] Which according to numerous reports could see the end of national sovereignty for many countries and result in a form of a, “Stealth Corporate Coup d’Etat[6]  Democracy is nearly dead, defeated by powerful financial forces and globalism, the ideology of the Davos elites.

There are many reports available on Davos, but I believe it is best summed up by the statement below:
 “This [world economic] forum was founded in 1971, but did not become a major force until after the Cold War ended. It then became a great social whirl based on the illusion of a harmonious world conjured up by transnational business elites under the rubric of “globalization.” Its real purpose, however, is to use private wealth to corrupt national leaders into betraying the interests of their people” [8]

The War “Business” its Victims and its Bloody Criminals




When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die. - Jean-Paul Sartre

Victims are everywhere in today’s world. Many are dead, others are still alive, but “living” in refugee camps or in other hell holes. Their homes decimated and destroyed. The smooth talking perpetrators who supply and feed off the bloodthirsty war business go unpunished. They are the governments and the corporate and communist cabals of the world who make blood-soaked profits off selling death, destruction and killing. [1]

These are the “respectable businessmen” of the world stage. The ghouls of the “free enterprise” and state systems and hailed as “leaders” in a world corrupted by their marketed propaganda. Many of them gather yearly at conferences and other gatherings to display and promote their hellish products that are promoted as “selling security.”

These vampires of villainy come from many countries and you can see them gathered together at times on the “world stage” of treachery. Communists, Capitalists, conservatives, liberals, socialists, dictators, despots and deal makers; that could be called the Gang of 20 (G20.) This gang of “right honourable” and “honourable” persons like to talk of “human rights” while at the same time selling weapons of death to each other and some have been known to start wars based on lies. Young men and women are sent to fight and die, and some of these human vultures have been known to supply both sides in their “war on terror.” [2]

It is a dirty evil game and its victims are soldiers and their families, other victims are ordinary people and their loved ones. In many countries others are terribly maimed, displaced or dead. Children are massacred or those still alive have no parents. Disease and despair is rampant amongst the survivors. Civil wars are the result of the perverted slogan, “responsibility to protect” and “bringing democracy” is another slogan used by the fiends who create hell on earth.

These destroyers of decency depend on endless wars for their filthy profits. Blood has to flow to show the superiority of their weapons. Carnage capitalism must show success. And the mark of success is cities, towns and villages destroyed by their “surgical strikes” and the resulting slaughter is called “collateral damage.”

Even the language has been perverted by these war perverts. They hide behind words like “national security” and “not in the public interest” to hide their depredations and demonic acts. Some have even been known to get prizes for “peace” which surely shows how rotten and corrupt the system is.

The people and soldiers everywhere are paying not only in blood but in their taxes as well. Their taxes help keep these demons of destruction in business. Perhaps the solution to the promotion and financing of all these wars is to put the profiteers of perdition in the front lines first. Let them lead by example and show us how “brave” they are. Instead they skulk in luxury office towers or luxury political surroundings and watch the death and destruction they created on TV. So let’s have war games for world leaders. [3] Then they can taste the horrors that they help procreate.

The Man Who Did Not Know: An Imaginary Letter to Friends



“I knew who I was this morning, but I've changed a few times since then.” [1]

Friends, I did not know my most trusted aide was going to write a cheque for a member’s expenses. How could I know? I am only the leader of the party and the country. Did anybody else know? Yes, there were reportedly at least “13 others” around me who knew, and they all worked for me. These were my bodies of knowledge, so to speak, who kept their knowledge from me. They all kept me in the dark; now I am trying to shed light on this matter. I have been very clear; I did not know. How could I know?  Not knowing is not a crime. Surely one is allowed to be ignorant of not knowing what one should know. I know there is an e-mail that states “good to go.” But those three words are just that, words. And words can mean anything, so what does “good to go” mean? How should I know? People say things knowingly then don’t remember what they knowingly said.  As I have said before, I made it very clear and my spokespersons have made it abundantly clear, I did not know.

 Nobody knows everything, so why am I being singled out for knowing nothing? Can I not be ignorant in this matter? I know there is another e-mail that says I was told in “broad terms” by my trusted aide, a man who is no longer in my employment. But “broad terms” can mean anything, just like “broadly speaking.” And if you have read “Alice in Wonderland” words have been described like this:

“When I use a word,” Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, “it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.”

“The question is,” said Alice, “whether you can make words mean so many different things.” [2]

If that is not wisdom from a fairytale, then what is wisdom?  And as I have said before very clearly and repeat again: I did not know; people should know that! Too much knowledge can also be dangerous and if I had known about all this stuff happening, I would have been very clear that it was a no-no. Did I just make a pun with know and no? Oh well, this is what happens when one tries to be very clear, transparent and accountable. Now you know! And if you don’t know, I understand, because I know what it is like not to know.  And I know friends, because you are my friends, you will say after reading this, “No problem.” Thank you my friends; it is great to know you all in this time of not knowing. There is so much confusion in this time of accountability. Therefore, I will close with some more pithy words of wisdom from “Alice in Wonderland”:

“I wonder if I've been changed in the night? Let me think: was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I'm not the same, the next question is 'Who in the world am I?' Ah, that's the great puzzle!” [3]

Should We Say Goodbye to Sovereignty?




Should we say good bye to our countries?
Is sovereignty being “free traded” away?
Are treacherous politicians and their lackeys
Allowing the multi–national corporations to hold sway?

Do giant trans-national corporations have a plan for you?
Are they telling their political puppets what to do?
“Free trade” is the political slogans and “creating jobs” is the cry
The negotiations are done in secret; just don’t ask why

You know you can “trust” your “governments”
And the corporate chieftains too
They are looking after your “freedom” and “welfare”
Do you believe that’s true?

The world is now a globalized marketplace
The toilers are the indebted human race
Trans-national corporations move from nation to nation
And the “rewards” are more and more exploitation

Cheap labour with no restrictions
Are these the corporate cannibals’ prescriptions?
Who needs health and safety rules and regulations?
Should we just leave it up to the corporations?

Do they owe no allegiance to any country?
Do they plunder the earth for their bounty?
They hide their profits in tax-free havens
Aided and abetted by governments in many nations

Capitalism and communism are in bed together
Ethics and morals are dead in the water
The good ship called “Principles” was sunk long ago
And “strategic partnerships” go with the flow

Most of the media “praises” the corporate/communist “deals”
Are they mostly cheerleaders for the corporate big wheels?
Perhaps the journalists are afraid of losing their jobs
If they criticize the corporate and communists mobs?

Or perhaps they have to praise, promote and propagandize
And be in favour of the state owned communist franchise
Because the fascist system needs it all to fit
Are the politicians and the media the “useful idiots”?

Meanwhile, people everywhere are taxed to the hilt
They have to pay the never-ending bills
Still, this is “democracy” and there are no borders
The Globalists and the Money Changers are imposing The New World Order

“Happy Holidays” from Nonsenseland



Nonsenseland was living up to its name and consistent in its nonsense even though it was the Christmas season; oops, I mean Happy Holidays time. Nonsenseland’s Parliament had shut down for its holidays. (No proroguing was needed for this escape by the great leader because this was bona fide vacation time.) Some cynics were saying they were on holiday all the time at taxpayers’ expense. Anyway, perhaps it was good that the honourable politicians were having a break, for it seemed tempers were getting short amongst some of the ruling political elite. It seemed one honourable member had told another honourable member to "shut the f*** up..." [1] Not a very nice remark from a supposedly “family friendly” government. Still, this was Nonsenseland [2] where obscene parades of nakedness were allowed, so obscene language was just another sideshow and perfectly “normal.”

Anyway, it seemed the foul epithet had been used against one honourable member who had criticized a buddy of the other honourable member who had admitted to using crack cocaine. This had caused the honourable member to momentarily crack up by using obscene language against the critic of his buddy. In fact, another honourable member was quoted as saying, "I thought they might come to blows,...” Still, this was not the only ugly incident in the House of Power; it was reported that another honourable member had called another honourable member a "bitch," though he did later apologize. Still, this is the sorry state of Nonsenseland and that’s why it is so aptly named. Then another honourable member was asked about child poverty and reportedly said, “Is it my job to feed my neighbour’s child? I don’t think so.” [3] But, as I said earlier, this is a “family friendly” government and who would argue with that in Nonsenseland?

 Meanwhile, in another province of the land, the smiling Premier wants to allow little kids into pubs [4] where their parents are drinking. Some cynics were asking could this suggestion by the Premier be called “drunk with political power” or another sign of “wisdom” in Nonsenseland?

Anyway, this is the Christmas Season; oops, I mean Happy Holidays time in the land of “equality” and “human rights.” So all the best from Nonsenseland, where nonsense is a Charter “value.”

An Attempt to Bring Some Democracy




"If you look at this prime minister, he has done more to transfer power to the population and to the democratically elected parliamentarians than any prime minister in modern memory,..." – Tory M.P., Pierre  Poilievre, Minister of Democratic Reform, quoted in Huffington Post, 12/03/2013. [1]


“Democracy” talk was all over the news. It seems a Tory M.P. had finally discovered there was a lack of democracy in parliament. He had proposed a “Reform Bill” that would curtail the powers of some of the political leadership.  The Bill if passed would not come into effect until after the 2015 election. Then it was presumed “democracy” would now be enshrined into law and “freedom” would reign in parliament and throughout the country. Funny thing though, this was a country that had a “Charter of Rights and Freedoms.” So what happened to freedom and all the other “rights?” Well, in this land of “democracy” words were just words that sounded good, but in reality they meant nothing and were hypocritical.
Examples abounded of attacks on free speech and free expression [1a] by a government that trumpeted “accountability, transparency and rule of law.”

Yet, the public were expected to believe that this new “Reform Bill” would transform parliament. One wished it well, but based on the actions of the political and judicial elites in this land of “democracy” one could only assume it would be another exercise in political B.S. just like the much vaunted, “Charter of Rights and Freedoms.” [2] [3]

Still, this MP was to be commended for attempting to bring some “rights” back to parliamentarians.  Some people were on record as saying MPs already had some freedoms in parliament. But, they would have to show some backbone and stop acting like they had “Beaten Dog Syndrome” [4] stop cowering and crawling and show some courage.

Still, to show some courage in this country and speak out on non politically correct issues can get people into trouble with most of the politicians and the politically correct media. One columnist even praised the leader of the land as a ‘control freak’ and likened politics and free speech to “quality control.” Of course, this guy is one of the “experts” on who should be allowed to speak. And another media “expert” even wrote this about the Reform Bill it “would mean anti-abortion candidates and cranks would sometimes win nominations, and leaders would have to find ways to explain that to voters.”  I guess people are “cranks” who don’t fit his view of society. And is being “anti-abortion” somehow not permissible? One would think any person with any semblance of human decency would be “anti-abortion” in this country after hearing of this atrocity [5] that most of the media and the politicians covered up.

Anyway, at least democracy is now being talked about. But, as the saying goes, “actions speak louder than words.” And boy do we ever need some action in this country to clean up the nonsense and bring back some accountability. [6] Otherwise, the word democracy also means hypocrisy.

Searching for Truth and Accountability in Nonsenseland




“There is but an inch of difference between the cushioned chamber and the padded cell” – G.K. Chesterton.

Nonsenseland was in a state of turmoil, the police were searching for information on alleged, “bribery, fraud and breach of trust.” Hundreds of political emails were released into the public domain and the residents of the Land were seeing some of the inner workings of their “law and order” government. Much of the information was not pretty to read. It seemed a certain honourable person had been billing the taxpayers quite a lot and “was getting paid for meals he ate in his own house...”  Still, we cannot have a hungry politician, can we? But hey, a politician has to eat and what better way to do it than bill the taxpayers when feeling hungry? Ordinary people have to go to food banks when they need food. Therefore, the answer for them is, get elected and they will never be hungry again! Because in Nonsenseland, it seems the political class are “entitled to their entitlements.”

Anyway, it seems this honourable guy’s “entitlements” have been causing the leader of the Land a bit of bother. He was asked, did he know about monies being paid to cover this honourable person’s expenses? The leader replied that he “did not know” and seemed astonished and dumbfounded that this had happened. Yet, in the leader’s office there were a number of his political appointees who knew all about this arrangement. What was going on? Why did these trusted advisers keep the leader in the dark? Was there some type of conspiracy? Was truth a victim and lies a victor in the most important and highest office in Nonsenseland? In fact, the policeman investigating this tangled web of possible deceit had said the evidence from one honourable player was “ not consistent with the facts.” Did this mean, an honourable person was lying? Surely not! After all, this was Nonsenseland where the spoken word could be nonsensical.

Still, Nonsenseland was no stranger to scandals. The previous government had been immersed in scandal and had been punished by the taxpayers by being voted out of office. Yet, this “new” government had preached “accountability”  and “rule of law” now some people were wondering was “accountability” and “rule of law” just B.S. to fool the masses.

Unfortunately, the masses in Nonsenseland were victims of politicians. They voted these people into power then they were punished by these same politicians. Yet, the people, ever faithful turned out at election time for more of the same. Was this a form of political masochism? At one time there had been a chance of referendum and recall in the Land, but this had been conveniently ditched when the politicians merged into the one big political party that was now in power. So now there was no hope of recalling politicians or having referendums anymore on their conduct. And the present leader of Nonsenseland could not be recalled even if the people wanted to do so.

Some people were now wondering was the word “accountability” just another word to placate and fool the people into believing all was well in Nonsenseland. When in reality, based on the evidence in the political emails released, some of their honourable political masters and some of their powerful appointees were up to no good. Still, this was Nonsenseland where nonsense was acceptable and accountability was just a word that sounded good, and the truth was proving hard to find.
