COMMENT POSTED TO A COLUMN IN THE NATIONAL POST
It is crap to say Harper can't be blamed for the horror of a
dead Syrian child lying face down in the sand, Christie Blatchford.
Harper comes across in this emotional public event as the
dried husk of a human being he truly is.
Leaders lead and set a tone and spirit for others.
Harper has led nothing, and the spirit of his time in office
is Canada is as a completely indifferent place to human suffering and to
threats and chaos at previously peaceful places like Syria.
I am repeatedly surprised by the depths of emptiness he
displays in matter after matter.
Imagine the leader of a nation with the reputation Canada
used to enjoy just letting people rot while he actually joins in the killing in
Syria, albeit on a limited scale owing mainly to our not having enough fighter
jets.
Well, I've always said he really secretly wanted to be an
American, and I think he now has joined the hallowed ranks of Newt Gingrich and
Dick Armey and Dick Cheney. They are not conservatives, they are creatures from
Madam Tussaud’s Chamber of Horrors.
One thing is sure, when Harper is swept from office in
October, he and Laureen will find a warm welcome in East Texas.

ISIS is not responsible for the horror in Syria because it
is merely a tool of outside powers, a terror weapon dropped into a beautiful,
previously peaceful country.
It is the sponsors, suppliers, and enablers of ISIS – and other
terrorist organizations like the al-Nusra Front - who are very much responsible
for the horrors.
They are the United States, Israel, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia
(with some additional money from Qatar).
These gangs of thugs and cutthroats would not even be gangs and
they would not be in Syria without massive outside assistance.
The whole aim of the sponsors and suppliers of these horrors
is to destroy the beautiful land of Syria and effectively smash it into pieces.
The covert, proxy approach being used in Syria is different than the direct,
blundering, and murderous American invasion of Iraq, but its goal is precisely
the same in the end.
Who cares about the millions displaced, the hundreds of
thousands killed, the historic treasures destroyed? Not America. Not Israel.
Not Turkey. Not Saudi Arabia.
The chief beneficiary of all this horror is America's nasty
little colony in the Mideast.
And come to think of it, isn't that same American colony one
of Harper's most intense and continuing focuses, to the point of having made,
and causing some ministers to make, the strangest sudden outbursts of loyalty to
it without any seeming context or cause on a subject, arbitrarily selected from
the affairs of the world’s two hundred or so nations, and of no special
interest to most Canadians?
And aren't Canadian apologists for the colony's own many atrocities
among Harper's keenest campaign contributors and supporters?
I suspect there is an unspoken but direct connection between
those supporters and the idea of not taking in tens of thousands of Syrians, as
we very much should. Of course, making no emergency effort in this regard comes
easily to Stephen Harper, a man who has proved himself virtually devoid of
humanity.
After all, the word "terror" is used by some in
exactly the way the word "witch" was used in 17th century Europe,
being repeated and echoed countless times like a superstitious mantra, although
the genuine threat of terror in North America is virtually non-existent.
