The United States dollar took another pounding on German, French and British exchanges this morning, hitting the lowest point ever known in West Germany. It has declined there by 41% since 1971 and this Canadian thinks it is time to speak up for the Americans as the most generous and possibly the least-appreciated people in all the earth.

As long as sixty years ago, when I first started to read newspapers, I read of floods on the Yellow River and the Yangtse. Who rushed in with men and money to help? The Americans did.

They have helped control floods on the Nile, the Amazon, the Ganges and the Niger. Today, the rich bottom land of the Misssissippi is under water and no foreign land has sent a dollar to help. Germany, Japan and, to a lesser extent, Britain and Italy, were lifted out of the debris of war by the Americans who poured in billions of dollars and forgave other billions in debts. None of those countries is today paying even the interest on its remaining debts to the United States.

When the franc was in danger of collapsing in 1956, it was the Americans who propped it up and their reward was to be insulted and swindled on the streets of Paris. I was there. I saw it.

When distant cities are hit by earthquakes, it is the United States that hurries into help... Managua Nicaragua is one of the most recent examples. So far this spring, 59 American communities have been flattened by tornadoes. Nobody has helped.

The Marshall Plan .. the Truman Policy .. all pumped billions upon billions of dollars into discouraged countries. Now, newspapers in those countries are writing about the decadent war-mongering Americans.

I'd like to see one of those countries that is gloating over the erosion of the United States dollar build its own airplanes.

Come on... let's hear it! Does any other country in the world have a plane to equal the Boeing Jumbo Jet, the Lockheed Tristar or the Douglas 107? If so, why don't they fly them? Why do all international lines except Russia fly American planes? Why does no other land on earth even consider putting a man or women on the moon?

You talk about Japanese technocracy and you get radios. You talk about German technocracy and you get automobiles. You talk about American technocracy and you find men on the moon, not once, but several times ... and safely home again. You talk about scandals and the Americans put theirs right in the store window for everyone to look at. Even the draft dodgers are not pursued and hounded. They are here on our streets, most of them ... unless they are breaking Canadian laws .. are getting American dollars from Ma and Pa at home to spend here.

When the Americans get out of this bind ... as they will... who could blame them if they said 'the hell with the rest of the world'. Let someone else buy the Israel bonds, Let someone else build or repair foreign dams or design foreign buildings that won't shake apart in earthquakes.

When the railways of France, Germany and India were breaking down through age, it was the Americans who rebuilt them. When the Pennsylvania Railroad and the New York Central went broke, nobody loaned them an old caboose. Both are still broke. I can name to you 5,000 times when the Americans raced to the help of other people in trouble.

Can you name me even one time when someone else raced to the Americans in trouble? I don't think there was outside help even during the San Francisco earthquake.

Our neighbours have faced it alone and I am one Canadian who is damned tired of hearing them kicked around. They will come out of this thing with their flag high. And when they do, they are entitled to thumb their nose at the lands that are gloating over their present troubles.

I hope Canada is not one of these. But there are many smug, self-righteous Canadians. And finally, the American Red Cross was told at its 48th Annual meeting in New Orleans this morning that it was broke.

This year's disasters .. with the year less than half-over… has taken it all and nobody...but nobody... has helped.

he could have easily avoided it, or with the proper training, swatted it back towards the crowd of police. considering most blows thrown in professional kickboxing matches have similar velocity and can be blocked or guarded against, a person with the correct form and training should have been able to block it with a rising elbow or a sweeping roundhouse.

the reason they use rubber bullets is because magneto tends to show up at protests to recruit mutants that find their powers while fighting the police. they try to knock him down before he flies back to his moon base. never works though fucking cops

here's an idea to cut costs: stop paying three to six dozen cops overtime 24 hours a day to corral a currently 100% peaceful sit-in. related idea: stop paying several hundred cops overtime and hazard pay to spray people with poisons once a week. tertiary idea: stop paying public defenders, jailers and judges to deal with peaceful protestors you're going to release in 6 hours with no record anyway

This article is amazing.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/story/2011/11/09/calgary-occupy-homeless-richter.html

Occupy protesters slammed by homeless boss
Do something meaningful rather than 'smoke dope and shake a fist at injustices', Richter says

The head of the Calgary Homeless Foundation had blunt words for the protesters who have occupied a downtown park for almost a month.

Tim Richter was speaking at a fundraiser for the foundation on Tuesday night when he challenged the dozen or so activists at Olympic Plaza to do something meaningful instead of camp downtown.

....


lol "homeless boss"... the poverty industry is so creepy
