It is a difficult time for civil societies. Rational persons are afraid.
International trade is distressed.
War is in the air and war mongers have popped up out of the COVID weeds.
Ukraine - Russia are both being prodded by outside interests to pick a fight with each other but have no interest in getting their own citizenry directly involved.
How do ordinary people tell war mongering lunatics - the same folks that are going to make millions at the expense of millions - to go to hell?
Just asking.
Update 2/23/2022
For what it is worth, BORDERPOL condemns the actions of the Russian Federation and its invasion of a sovereign country. This cannot be condoned, and the security of people of Ukraine and Russia are not served by this military adventure.
We ask that NATO and the EU restrain the efforts by outside interests to intervene militarily in the conflict.
We support any and all actions to support humanitarian efforts to ensure the safety of refugees from this conflict. Open the borders of the EU to give sanctuary to all human beings asking for it as they flee their homeland.
Rainbow Bridge Incident.
Cost of send Christmas cards.
EU Bond Market.
Ireland in turmoil.
EV's not selling well.
Spending more than you earn could be problematic.

So here we are again, a little bit late, nothing last week I guess.
No, some people were busy.
Oh, what were you doing?
I said some people.
I know.
I mean, let's face it.
Some people going out and having fun in the mountains.
I guess I was busy.
I guess and nothing wrong with that.
No, you know, what's the saying?
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
Something like that.
Yeah.
Yeah, indeed.
But yeah, welcome to the BORDERPOL JOURNAL.
He's Bob.
I'm Tom.

Because it's, you know, we're not as regular as we should be, but maybe that's part of the deal.
And I'm not talking about, you know, our daily embellishments.
You know, you sit back and you've got to think that there's way too much.
It's kind of like watching TV.
I don't put the news on very often anymore ...
This week Bob and Tom ask the question “Why do politician fix things that are not broke? They also look at the next proxy war, this time in the Western Hemisphere as Venezuela run by a Dictatorial regime, has decided to take over its neighbor Guyana. Curiously the Biden administration has warmed up to Venezuela for oil while giving Guyana military assistance.
In January 1958 the Canadian post office issued a commemorative stamp that celebrated "A Free Press".
Since then 66 years have passed and no other stamp has been issued by the post office to observe or signify any similar sentiments. It reflects a country that has lost its way on so many levels.
While collecting stamps is an almost dead hobby it does however reflect the history of a country. They are actually tiny legal propaganda leaflets that grace the envelope and spread the word of the government of the country.
Today Canada's leftist Liberal minority government is hell bent on passing legislation that will put an end to a free press and freedom of expression that is not in line with the elite woke and frankly neo authoritarian leadership. Our opinion piece on Bill C-63 here on Locals and on X has been published reflecting our deep concern for our state of affairs.
Indeed 66 years have passed since that stamp was issued and given the direction of that country is going in, no similar ...
In a free country with a free press people are allowed to say what's on their mind regardless of the actual value of their opinions to others. In Canada that means that if you disparage the governments policies or the oppositions alternative policies, you can do so at this moment in time.
However the current MINORITY government and the operative word is MINORITY is looking for legislative ways to curtail such freedoms by passing Bill C-63 that will only permit speech and expression that its Liberal Party leadership and adherents support.
This weekend the X platform has been flooded with a well coordinated anti opposition and anti Poilievre posting flood many of which are clearly bots. Most spread negative comments and a goodly amount of lies about any and all things associated with the opposition party or its leadership.
Under the current law of the land this is permitted and so it should be. As disgusting and filthy as political smut is, its the cost of a functioning democracy. ...
Weird Olympic games from opening to events. Trump assassination attempt with total incompetence revealed and shooter motive cover up. UK societal explosion and riots - both predictable as underclass Brits crushed by neoliberal elites using Islamists as cover. Biden coup and ouster by powerful war mongering insiders. Gaza destruction by proxy. Ukraine meat grinder driven by EU warmongers and military industrial complex. Stock market sinking as pensions health care rule of law and education levels are driven ever lower in wester societies. Lawless migration patterns expanding worldwide. Bangladesh genocides.
Common denominator: Evil and authoritarian players disguising themselves as protectors of democracy and the rule of law.
More to come.
Think about that.
