The clock hits midnight and the crowd cheers, 2050 is here!
Hello everyone, my name is Bread and today my team and I are proud to present the very first Chaos in Diversity Progress Report. Though our discord has been filled with teasers and development updates, our development team has finally reached a point where we have enough content done to showcase it all to you in a more formal setting. So, what is this mod?

Introduction To Dystopia:

Chaos in Diversity (or CiD) is an upcoming mod set not in the past but in the near future, 2050.
Though, notably, this is not our attempt to predict the future, only to create a world that seems plausible. We set ourselves a soft 'Point of Departure' in mid-2018, the point in which we would stop updating our lore in accordance with real world events. The sole exemption to this fact, so far, has been COVID-19, which we worked into our lore in one form. So remember, our history and the mod’s history have already departed in key ways, some of which you’ll be able to spot even in this PR.
The world of Chaos in Diversity is noticeably more multipolar than our own, due to both the decline of American influence and the rise of Chinese power on the world stage. An economic phenomena known as the Pacific Shift has seen the economic centre of the world rapidly shift towards the east, realigning the politics of the world drastically. Furthermore, climate change has continued on its seemingly unstoppable course, bringing rising sea levels, desertification, and countless events which will shape the lives of those within. Our development team has worked hard to create a world on the halfway point to a plausible dystopia: it seems as though the optimism of the early 21st century has been snuffed out and the global slide into mediocrity, despotism, and conflict appears inexorable.
Or perhaps not, should you play your cards right.
While there’s a lot of history to get into, we’ll be talking about one of our custom mechanics first. But before jumping into that, take a moment to enjoy these.
Our Starting Screen
Our World Map
And some of our Loading Screens which should help set the tone!
Now, please remember that everything here is a work in progress. Everything is subject to change, especially when it comes to balancing the mod.

Economic Points

At this point, we’re all quite familiar with HOI IV mods trying to emulate the complex system of economics that keep countries running. The clunky system inherited from base Hoi4 leaves much to be desired, as one designed purely for a massive endgame conflict. However, trying to accurately portray modern economics at this point (or even future economics) is a task which seems insurmountable. Systems which try to perfectly emulate real world economies tend to be restrictive rather than additive, limiting what are already fairly scarce mechanics from the base game even further. As such, we’ve had to turn to an old friend (or enemy, depending on who you ask): Abstraction.
That’s why we have tried a different approach with the introduction of the EP system (short for “economic points”). EPs are supposed to represent government income from taxes, trade and other forms of revenue and are used by the government to fund its services, invest into public works, or whatever other projects may come to mind. The EP system indirectly ties into laws and policies, as some policies have a cost to them that the government needs to pay. EP, in this regard, mostly works like political points and for good reason: by making government economics as abstract as the concept of “political power”, it fits right in the weird economic system of HOI IV as a type of monthly-gained mana instead of concepts such as GDP.
Economic Points
Let’s go over the different things you see, shall we:

Taxation income: a monthly income that depends on your total population and the amount of civilian factories that your nation has. To keep nations like China not too OP (and believe me, without this China was quite up there) the benefit you gain from civilian factories is lowered and the benefits of population are also lowered if a total population reaches a certain amount. Before that, India and China dominated in tax income, gaining around +1000 EP per month.
Other income: a catch-all-term for income that isn’t from taxing people or companies or from trade. This is mostly for events, decisions and focuses as a variable that isn’t tied to another variable like population.
Export: a monthly income depending on the pricing of resources and how much your nation exports. We get to the pricing of resources in a bit, but the general gist of export income should be quite clear.
Government expenses: a monthly cost that exists due to certain policies, laws and the size of the army.
Debt: currently still in a processing stage, but debt can be accumulated throughout the game by governments borrowing EPs from several institutions. This system should represent the old time v accessibility conflict, as a player can of course wait until he has enough EP to do certain projects but he can also decide to borrow enough EP to start his project early and pay more money as a result later. This system would also include interest on the paid debt, but again, it’s still WIP.
Corruption: unlike all the other things on here, corruption isn’t a simple cost or income, but instead a percentage that represents how much corruption your government has. Corruption is generally a bad thing to have, as it subtracts a percentage of your monthly income, and it’s thus recommended to keep it as low as possible.
Import: the opposite of export. Everything nations import will have a cost to it outside of the civilian factories that you trade in for your precious resources. Again, the cost of import is the amount of resources you import times the price of one piece of that resource. Which brings us to…
Resource prices: these variables are updated monthly and look at the total amount of a certain resource that is produced (the supply) and the amount that is imported globally (the demand), creating the price of the resources. Due to the prices being dependent on supply and demand, they’ll be quite volatile. What you can generally expect out of this is that prices for resources like steel and aluminium will increase during the game’s duration as more conflicts start and more military factories are built that need their resources, all the while the supply doesn’t change drastically. For oil, however, something different could happen. To increase the pricing of oil to make it profitable, civilian factories consume a small bit of fuel from gamestart, kickstarting quite a healthy oil price (testgames show an average starting price of around 10, which is 2.5 times as high as the average aluminium price and around 10 times as high as steel and rubber prices). However, later technologies will lower fuel consumption of these factories drastically, representing the shift away from fossil fuels in many nations and towards sustainable energy sources, which is great for the environment but can have a deadly impact on global oil prices. When the game reaches this stage, expect extreme measures to be taken by nations that depend on oil for their EP income (especially as some nations will have EP be directly tied to their survival as a state).

With Economic Points, we hope to create a system in which the player has MORE options to approach their gameplay with, rather than less. Sure, one might want to have as large a military as possible, but your EP will take a serious hit in the process.
Hell, who knows where a player might look for new opportunities to earn EP?
Onto the main content!

China (2050-2052)

In 2050, there is and shall be only one nation which can claim any sort of hegemony: The People’s Republic of China.
While the US saw defeat after defeat domestically and abroad, China seemed to simply move from triumph to triumph, each setback merely a bump in the road. Sure, COVID-25 was somewhat of an embarrassment but, as China led the world through the recovery process, people found they were willing to overlook it and politicians followed suit. Perhaps the Hong Kong situation was mishandled but, ultimately, the international scene eventually looked the other way, for what could be done to stop the CCP?
The situation in Xinjiang was an open secret, deeply horrifying, but would the world truly confront China on the matter? As the years passed, it seemed unlikely.
With economic growth that seemed unstoppable, a pragmatic leadership, and a united party, China began to eclipse all others.
But not everything was united behind the scenes. Xi Jinping, in his efforts to continually centralize and cement his own power as the General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party, began to alienate members of his own party. Their reasons were many, some simply despised the man, others were worried about the long term stability of putting so much power in the hands of the General Secretary.
Ultimately, their time to strike arose in the most unexpected manner when the General Secretary was struck with a (highly disputed) bout of illness. The actual details on the event are scarce and widely contested. Whether it was a fabrication or a fact, Jinping began to slowly retreat from the spotlight in his role as General Secretary during 2024 and the Party began to reassert its authority under the pragmatic Hu Chunhua, a change in leadership which arrived just in time for a dramatic upheaval in both domestic and international politics.
The Covid Crash, as it began to be known, wreaked havoc on the global and domestic economy, with the Chinese coastal provinces seeing their development plummet amid a panicked retreat of foreign investment. The knock-on effect of this downward turn led to some of the largest liberal protests in recent Chinese history. Whilst the protests dragged on for many months, Chunhua was focused on an economic, not military, solution to the crisis. His caution was well-rewarded, as his plan to ‘turn foreign prosperity into Chinese prosperity’ by filling the void which foreign investment had left proved a boon in both the short and long term, both ending the protests and beginning China’s utter economic independence and dominance.
Chunhua’s successor, Teng Jiang focused on international efforts, the one area in which Chunhua made little progress. Aggressively pushing China’s influence abroad, he solidified the creation of the Asia-Pacific Defense Organisation to secure China’s hegemony over the Pacific in the wake of the Pacific Shift. Jiang was also one of the strongest voices regarding China’s affairs in Africa, leading to massive investments in the struggling East African Federation and other powers who were increasingly falling under the Chinese sphere. At the end of his reign, Jiang had transformed Chunhua’s domestic success into international prestige and power.
Finally, we have Zeng Xinyi, who has been in power since 2042. ‘China’s Uncle’ was swept to power on the back of his cheery persona and electric ability to rouse the masses. Yet, Xinyi is a man deeply troubled by the apparent mediocrity of his own rule. Whilst his flagship program focused on China’s technological sector has broadly been a success, he is overshadowed by the successes of his predecessors. Already, he has been described as a safe but uninspired pair of hands to guide China, carried through his eight years of rule by continued growth and prosperity, none of it his own.
Whilst for the large part he is preoccupied with the preparations for the 101st anniversary of the People’s Republic and the wrangling of the Party’s Political Bureau, Xinyi is not a man who will not allow himself to be idle.
Thus, Xinyi begins to push back against the seemingly inevitable, undermining years of established tradition, trying to get his own ‘protégé’ as the prime candidate for General Secretary.
Perhaps Xinyi has underestimated the complexity which his scheme will require but, once his mind is made, he will not turn back. So begins his gambit. To succeed, he will need to convince key members of the State Bureaucracy, Military, and Party. He will need to avoid the suspicions of his peers. Some of this will come naturally. Some of it will be much harder.
And needless to say, failure is not an option if Xinyi wants to have his future.
At the end of the day, Xinyi's plan will either meet failure...
... or succeed.
But regardless of where his actions lead him, Xinyi has unintentionally revealed deep divisions which run through the core of the party. The future of China as the pre-eminent power of the world is in question and the Party is uncertain of how it should be led forward. Above all you must remember to keep the Party united.
Or the party will take the actions necessary, without you.

The United States of America (2050-2052)

Hello! I’m Michael7123, the lead developer for the United States, and I’m here to tell you how things have gone for the land of the free and home of the brave:
Terribly
How did the United States get here? Well, I’m not going to explain all of America’s lore here. But you can see the Presidents who presided over the decline, as a treat:
45th President: Donald Trump [R] (2017-2025)
46th President: Sherrod Brown [D] (2025-2029)
47th President: Tom Cotton [R] (2029-2037)
(Past this point, it's all original characters)
48th President: Martin Lawrence [D] (2037-2045), a veteran and relative political novice who ran on withdrawing from Lebanon. Withdraws from NATO which soon becomes defunct, reorients American foreign policy to focus on China. Pays little attention to domestic politics.
49th President: Thomas Randal [R] (2045-2046), A Republican who attempted to shift his party economically left, but was assassinated while campaigning for down ballot republicans in the 2046 midterms.
50th President: Andrew Mitchel [R] (2047-2049) The Vice President of Randal who was sworn in after his death and managed to win the presidency in his own right by milking sympathy from his now deceased running mate. A libertarian leaning politician, any shift on economic policy was scrapped. After winning re-election, a scandal known as “Floodgate” began, and it eventually was uncovered that Mitchel had been taking bribes from Chinese companies to ensure the departments of justice and labour wouldn’t raise a fuss when they violated health and safety standards while operating in the United States. In 2050, matters reached a climax in an impeachment and conviction by the senate.
51st President: Samuel Sanford (2049-2050) [D—-> I——>F]
So you’re probably wondering what on earth [D—-> I——>F] means. It happens that Mitchel’s Vice President, knowing full well that he would be next to be impeached as he was implicated in the Floodgate scandal, resigned while the Senate was voting to convict Mitchel. With no president or Vice President, the Presidency passed to the Democratic Speaker of the house by default, Samuel Sanford. Seeing the horrendous political optics of an impeachment vote that he facilitated in resulting in his own party’s power growing at the expense of the GOP, he quickly announced his departure from the Democratic Party to become an independent.
Soon afterward, he held a press conference, joined by members of the political establishment in both the Democratic and Republican parties to announce the creation of the Federalist Party: a centrist political institution to quell the rising tides of radicalism, and corruption, and heinous violence plaguing America. While the party is split on ideological lines, Sanford called on all who wished to uphold liberal democracy to back his new creation.
There were very few takers. As things stand at game start, both the Democratic and Republican parties have lost their leaders, and the new Federalist Party, while controlling the executive branch and managing to corral members of each party in both houses of Congress to function, they remain deeply unpopular among the public at large, and appear to be set to lose horrendously in the upcoming midterm elections of 2050.
President Sanford can decide that somewhat more drastic measures are required to stave off the illiberal forces trying to change the American way of life. For the 2050 elections will not only determine who controls Congress: it also happens to be a census year, and whoever controls the various state legislatures controls the shape and size of congressional districts. The fate of the House of Representatives is of vital importance, as with the 2052 Presidential Race shaping up to be a 3 way contest between Samuel Sanford and whomever the Democratic and Republican parties nominate, it’s exceedingly likely that no candidate will win an outright majority of the Electoral College, which means that the President will be determined by a majority of state delegations in the House of Representatives.
Of course, the Federalist Party doesn’t have to engage in shenanigans. Additionally, all three parties are capable of achieving a victory in the 2050 midterms. The beginning of the trees for each party to work with and/or antagonize the Sanford Administration can be seen here:
Democrats
Federalists
Republicans
Of course, it should go without saying that if the legally dubious actions of the Federalist Party are discovered by the public at large, there will be dire consequences.
Regardless of who occupies the Whitehouse next, they’re going to have to contend with the increasingly powerful Supreme Court. In an effort to highlight just how important the institution is to the United States in 2050, we’ve opted to create an entirely unique Supreme Court mechanic
The bar on the right shows the current legitimacy of the Supreme Court as an institution. The higher it is, the more respected it is by the public at large. Whenever the court is viewed as legitimate, judges decide cases based on their ideological leanings. All pretensions about impartiality aside, the Supreme Court is a political institution. However when the legitimacy of the Supreme Court falls too low, the Chief Justice might start rallying judges who are similar to him or her ideologically to start deciding cases in ways to preserve the court’s legitimacy, and such efforts may or may not be successful.
Regardless of how the presidential election goes, Sanford will have the opportunity to appoint and nominate a new Chief Justice of the court in 2050. This decision will have extensive repercussions for the rest of the game, so you’ll want to pick carefully.
You will also be able to directly increase or decrease the court’s legitimacy at the cost of political power, , but there’s only so much attack ads and press conferences can accomplish. Should the legitimacy of the court fall enough, you can try to pack the court. Of course, it goes without saying that this sets a dangerous precedent.
And beyond that, the road to 2054 awaits...
But that's for another time. Thank you!

Western Europe (2050-2052)

Hi all! We're Erwin, Michael7123, and Preussenball, and we’re going to discuss the history of Western Europe and the trials and tribulations of it’s two most prominent countries, France and Germany.
Why only Western Europe? Well, keep reading and you’ll understand.
France, Lebanon, and the collapse of NATO:

Lebanon. Tensions between Hezbollah and the government have soured immensely in recent years. When push comes to shove, Hezbollah officially abandons its policy of relative cooperation, declaring an end to the Lebanese state in its current form. This event leads to the kickstarting of the Lebanese civil war, a conflict that draws Europe’s attention in several ways, one of which being that Lebanon is a member of the Good Neighbour Policy. However, despite all this, Europe learned from Iraq and Afghanistan and is unwilling to get it’s hands dirty in Lebanon.

This changes on the 1st of January 2035, a day of national tragedy for France. After the hijacking of a French airplane by a group connected to Hezbollah, the French Airforce had no other choice but to shoot it down before it collided with Palais Bourbon. The death of 102 passengers would spark outrage in Europe and the US, giving then President of the United States Tom Cotton the ammunition he was hoping for. The USA, emboldened by this brazen act of terrorism, convinces a coalition of France and other European nations and Israel to formalize a coalition against Hezbollah, starting the NATO intervention in Lebanon in 2036. The President of France at the time, Chandler Laurent of Les Républicains was among the intervention’s strongest supporters.
While the conflict itself was already terrible, muddied by another refugee crisis in Europe, the intervention wouldn’t be better, as the American nation-building strategy developed after Iraq and Afghanistan simply couldn’t apply to Lebanon. 2037 would see US troops being pulled out of Lebanon shortly after the inauguration of President Lawrence. One by one, other members of the coalition withdrew, and after the USA abruptly withdrew from NATO in the same year, France was left desperately trying to wage a war that, while still popular domestically, was being criticized by the public for not being waged decisively enough, and moreover trying to what was left of NATO together at the same time.
In the end, President Chandler Laurent announced in 2038 that France would be scaling back their involvement in Lebanon to pre-war levels, leaving Lebanon in its current state. Les Républicains found itself sharply divided over the issue, leading to half of the party breaking away in protest to form Voici la France! under the leadership of Antoine Dimont, a liberal conservative.
Laurent resigned as president following a vote of no confidence collapsing his cabinet. In the ensuing snap elections, France brought La France Insoumise, a social democratic party that took the place of the defunct Parti socialiste and briefly held power in the late 2020s. What followed was 10 years of relative stability for France, albeit coupled with their formal withdrawal from NATO, sealing the fate of the organization. In that time, France went on to make rapid progress in the goal of reaching carbon neutrality, and focused on strengthening their domestic economy with a great deal of success- but more on the long term consequences of that later.
However, while the past 10 years were primarily prosperous, voices in France grew called for France to take a more active role on the world stage- and with good reason too, given what befell the European Union mere years after the collapse of NATO. At game start they are governed by a coalition between La République En Marche! And Voici la France! In the National Assembly, with Antoine Dimont in his first term as President, which began in 2048.
France in 2050
Today, we’ll be focusing on President Dimont’s plans of ushering Europe towards a greener future. When most people think of green politics, they imagine youthful activists wearing tie dye shirts, maybe throwing buckets of red paint at CEO’s if they are particularly feisty, but who are otherwise inoffensive and harmless. President Dimont, in contrast, is making the effort to rely on a more environmentally friendly way to bolster French power, prestige, and influence across Europe
And what better way to do that than by going after Gazprom, the Russian Energy giant that serves as an unwanted Russian foothold on the European Energy market. While most of the “Energy War” will be about outstripping Russian Energy production and investing in new energy technologies, you will also have much more… forceful... ways of trying to combat Russia and Gazprom. You can expect to read much more about this once we showcase Russia to you all in an upcoming progress report, but, as an extra treat.
On top of this, the French government wishes to repair the European Union. Why “repair”? I’m glad you asked….
Germany, Greece, and the secession of the East:
As a result of the collapse of NATO in the late 2030s, Germany found itself funding the Bundeswehr more than ever before, and at the time, few complained. It made sense, after all. With NATO gone, Germany could no longer rely upon American benevolence for the protection of Europe. Nobody outside of the political fringe would have predicted that it would need to be used so quickly.
The Greek election of 2040 was not won by one of the traditional parties, nor even a radical fringe party, but by the new Greek Reform Party created 7 months prior to the election by the famous Chinese-Greek businessman Georgi Vidalides. His victory was met with international outrage, as a previous investigation by the Greek government had exposed the party accepting funds from Chinese companies tied with the Chinese Government. Tension between the newly elected Greek government and the European Union would lead to the Greek PM pushing the parliament to leave the European Union outright and reneging on their financial commitments to the economic bloc. The EU declared that Vidalides had acted outside of his democratic mandate by publicly bribing members of parliament and actively ignoring the demands of the Greek high court and was thus guilty of plotting an end to Greek democracy.
Chancellor Lennart Dittrich of the Christlich Demokratische Union (at the time in a coalition with Die Grünen and Freie Demokratische Partei), was not the man people thought would drag Germany into an offensive war. A soft spoken and collegial former journalist, a man who easily could have gone down as a good but forgettable Chancellor was wound up ensuring his name would become mud because viral footage came out of Greek police who brutally arrested an investigative journalist in suspect circumstances. Whilst officially not the event which triggered later events, it was after this fact that Chancellor Dittrich gave a press conference where he vowed that it was time for the European Union to act in order to defend its values.
When the vote on forming a coalition to invade Greece came to the Bundestag, it set off a political firestorm that would shake Germany to its core. In the end, the vote passed by the slimmest of margin, contingent upon dozens of amendments, compromises, and contingent on getting other nations of the EU to support the coalition. Dissent ranged from nearly the entire SPD to defecting conservatives (particularly from the Bavarian CSU).
Once again, the German military was on the march, readying itself to invade foreign soil (even if under an agreeable cause). All of this was met with resounding condemnation from the Visegrád Group and other eastern European members of NATO. And on the day when the first German boots landed on Greek soil, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, and Hungary all announced that they intended to begin the process of leaving the European Union.
But things might have been salvageable up until then. Then everything went to hell when the Old Royal Palace was hit with a bomb that killed most of the Greek government. In a panicked frenzy, the V4 all unilaterally removed themselves from the European union to form their own economic bloc, and were soon followed by a majority of the European Union's member states in Eastern Europe
While the situation of the Union of Visegrad (or colloquially: the Eastern European Union) will be discussed in a later progress report, here is the new face of Europe
While the initial occupation in Greece itself was met with, if not goodwill, than at least not overt hostility by the Greek people, after the deaths of their government, however unpopular, resentment spiked. For the Bundeswehr and other members of the Greek military, the next 4 years were spent trying to suppress terrorists of every shape and size.
And it is ultimately from one of these terrorist attacks, however indirectly, that lead to the complete restructuring of the German political system. It was the rise of Viktor Kapp and his Deutsche Friedenspartei.
And with that, troops started pouring out of Germany as the diplomats started pouring in.
The Coalition of the Roses had one truly grand accomplishment, and that was effectively ending the Greek crisis. But in choosing to work with the DFP, the SPD had legitimated their newest rival. With the collapse of the CDU and the descent of the AfD into deeper and deeper levels of reaction, the DFP managed to present themselves as the big tent party of everyone from the right wing to the center without any of the troubling political baggage of older political movements, while also drawing the support of some on the political left more focused on the effective exercise of state power than about issues of culture (albeit in far smaller numbers).
Yet it was this very blender of ideologies that resulted in the DFP’s increasing popularity, and the creation of a new party at the European level: the Eins Europa Parti, dedicated to the transformation of what remains of the European Union into a single, federal state.
In terms of gameplay, Germany starts in the middle of Kapp’s second term and is thus busy with the promises he has made during the 2049 election. While every issue is important, such as the veteran issue and the growing radicalism among the German youth, the main issue Kapp faces in his second term as chancellor is the Greek question: what is Germany still doing in Greece?
This question is mainly formed by the factionalism of the party between Engels and Denzinger, with Denzinger opting for pulling out of Greece while Engels is worried about the stability of the region and only thinks limited retreat is necessary. These issues are also made more important with the next election in mind. Kapp, Denzinger and Engels are quite worried about the situation as the 2049 election was won by only one seat. However, if the events during the season are anything to go by this election won’t go the same as 2049. If the DFP wins this year’s election by a larger margin than 2049, it will be quite secure in seeking to achieve its goals in the third Kapp government.
On the Future of Europe:
It is a widely acknowledged truth that the current status quo in Europe cannot and will not last, both France and Germany can agree on this. On what direction they should take, on the other hand, the two are divided. France insists that until the schism between East and West is fixed, Europe will always be fragile. In uncertain times, they look to instill Europe with strength and security, and to this end, they propose the European Defense Community.
Germany, meanwhile, looks to perhaps loftier goals. The weakness of Europe shall always be its division, they might argue, and that only through a true political union can their goals be realised. They look to form the EU into a single political entity.
The struggle for influence over Europe take place over ten years of gameplay through our European Struggle GUI. As each country obtains political success, they’ll be able to gain influence points. After every 10 points, they’ll be able to activate the first step of their European reforms.
However, bringing together the myriad states of Europe together will not be a trivial task in the slightest, with each reform stacking the odds against the player further and further…
And should you not be careful, the whole thing might break.

Africa (2050-2052)

2050 will be an important decade for Africa, for more reasons than one. For many countries on the continent, they shall be marking one hundred years since the end of colonialism. A hundred years of independence from the European powers. Many more will be asking themselves, how much better have things gotten?
The answer, as always, is difficult to say.
The 2025 Covid Crash was a brutal period for the African continent. Whilst the disease itself seemingly dealt less damage than some more unprepared western countries, the ensuing financial crash sent a wave of disruption through the continent. Though its effects were varied and myriad, the most important event during this period was the Crisis of the East African Federation, in which the crisis of both health and finances caused a wave of reactionary nationalism to trash negotiations for the unification of the region’s nations into the East African Federation - right as the nations were supposed to be unifying. Whilst the East African Federation soldiered on, it was a sign that the path towards peace for the continent was not guaranteed.
And it didn’t get any better from there.
Over the next 25 years, the African Union would be mired by the growth of three opposing blocks, the Continental African Committee, the Triple Alliance, and the United Front for African Democracy. The coalescence into these blocks was a slow and fully preventable process but by the time the world realised what was happening, the reactions had already begun and mere hindsight could not prevent it. There was no one inciting event which diplomats could’ve talked out but rather a thousand slights, mistakes, and grudges building over fifty years of high tension. Or maybe the roots went back even further than that?
To the west, the United Front for African Democracy was pitched as the battle against Chinese influence in the region, though this seems… tenuous at best. To the east, the Continental African Committee was pitched as the final battle against neo-colonialism but is accused of simply being one appendage of Chinese power. The only group which can truly call itself free from influence is the Triple Alliance, although the group is rather dysfunctional, and critics point to tensions over Triple Alliance sponsored plundering in the Eastern DRC as the only reason why the three nations have not joined the UFAD.
But, at the dawn of 2050 at least, it does not appear as though the blocks will ever achieve much, other than pointless bickering.
That is until the death of Nnamdi Christian.
A Left-Wing Nigerian firebrand, Nnamdi Christian is the rising star of Nigerian politics. A young man who challenges the corrupt, decaying establishment of the oil-rich nation. On the back of massive wealth inequality, concerns about climate change, and a two party system which is practically an oligarchy, Nnamdi Christian seems set to achieve the seemingly impossible and win the 2051 Nigerian Elections.
This changes very quickly.
The botched assassination not only captures the attention of an outraged Nigerian general public but every African on the continent, fed up with a status quo that seems to insist on screwing them over. On election day, the entire world is watching.
As the oligarchy overplays its hand, the results of this election are all the continent needs to let the dominoes fall.
By the summer of 2052, this period has taken on a new name: The Summer of Revolutions.
This continental shift in politics is wild and impossible to control, shattering the status quo, with no regime in Africa being beyond its grasp. It seems to be a period of genuine change for the better. However, there is an old saying: The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
For Africa, 2052 is only the beginning.

The Future

And now we reach the end of the first progress report, though we have barely begun to scratch the surface of the world of Chaos in Diversity.
It is a world which has been irrevocably changed, a world of isolation, and apathy. So here is just a small taste of the flavour events. There were many nations which, though we wanted to fit them in the PR, we simply did not have the space. We have a standoff in Britain, a crisis in India, droughts in Poland, and more than I could even fit into a singular run-on sentence!
But something tells me that next time, we’ll be looking at Italy and... Oh dear.
Thank you!
If you enjoyed reading this and want to know more, the best place to look is almost certainly our discord, where we regularly post teasers, updates, and you can ask the mod team your questions!
And if you can write, make GFX, or code, please do not hesitate to make an application to join the team!
Goodbye and let us pray that the future is brighter than this one!

Was Hitler a Rothschild ?

by David Icke
from DavidIcke Website
Official history is merely a veil to hide the truth of what really happened. When the veil is lifted, again and again we see that not only is the official version not true, it is often 100% wrong.
Take the Rothschilds, the bloodline formerly known, among other names, as the Bauers, one of the most notorious black occult bloodlines of Middle Ages Germany. It became known as Rothschild (red-shield or rotes-schild in German) in the 18th century when a financial dynasty was founded in Frankfurt by Mayer Amschel Rothschild working in league with the Illuminati House of Hesse and others.
They took their name from the red shield or hexagram/Star of David on the front of their house in Frankfurt.
The Star of David or Seal of Solomon is an ancient esoteric symbol and only became associated with Jewish people after the Rothschilds adopted it for themselves. It has absolutely no connection to "David" or "Solomon", as Jewish historical sources confirm.
The Rothschilds are one of the top Illuminati bloodlines on the planet and they are shape-shifting reptilians (see The Biggest Secret).
Guy de Rothschild, of the French House, heads this bloodline dynasty today. He is one of the most grotesque exponents of trauma-based mind control, indeed the top man according to many of those who have suffered mercilessly under his torture. I am always loath to use the world evil, but if evil is the reverse of live, Guy de Rothschild is thoroughly evil.
He stands for the opposite of life. He has been personally responsible for the torture and death of millions of children and adults, either directly or through those he controls. He conducts satanic rituals, as all these bloodlines have always done, and goodness knows how many human sacrifices he has been involved in.
If what I am saying is wrong, Guy de Rothschild, then take me to court and lets reveal the evidence. You are a multi-billionaire and you control the courts and the media. I have next to nothing. I should, therefore, be a pushover. So come on, Mr. Rothschild, lets have you. Lets take these claims into the public arena and have you and me in the witness box. Make my day.
Already I can hear the clamor gathering to condemn me as "anti-semitic" because the Rothschilds claim to be "Jewish." Organizations like the Anti-Defamation League and B’nai B’rith have already made strenuous efforts to label me in this way for exposing the Rothschilds and to stop me speaking in public. How funny then that both organizations were created by, and continue to be bankrolled by, the Rothschilds. Just a co-incidence, nothing to worry about.
B’nai Brith means, appropriately, "Sons of the Alliance" and was established by the Rothschilds in 1843 as an intelligence arm and to defame and destroy legitimate researchers with the label "anti semitic."
Many of their speakers openly supported slavery during the American Civil War and today they seek to condemn some black leaders as "anti-semitic" or "racist!" Every year, the Anti Defamation League award their "Torch of Liberty" (the classic Illuminati symbol) to the person they believe has served their cause the most. One year they gave it to Morris Dalitz, an intimate of the notorious Meyer Lansky crime syndicate which terrorized America. Perfect choice.
Of course, the strength of feeling that fans the flames of condemnation against anyone dubbed "anti-semitic" today is the sickening persecution of Jewish people by the Nazis of Adolf Hitler. To expose or question the actions of the Rothschilds or any other Jewish person or organization is to be called a "nazi" and "anti-semitic", that all-encompassing label which has discredited so many researchers and stopped them having the opportunity to speak in public because of protest by unthinking robot radicals and the refusal of venues to host their meetings.
I have had this from time to time, not least in eastern Canada thanks to a campaign by B’nai B’rith and the Anti-Defamation League (which spends it’s entire time trying to defame people). Both organizations, I repeat, are Rothschild created and controlled.
How strange then, that as I have documented in And The Truth Shall Set You Free and The Biggest Secret, along with endless other researchers and scholars, Adolf Hitler and the Nazis were created and funded by… the Rothschilds.
It was they who arranged for Hitler to come to power through the Illuminati secret societies in Germany like the Thule Society and the Vril Society which they created through their German networks; it was the Rothschilds who funded Hitler through the Bank of England and other British and American sources like the Rothschild’s Kuhn, Loeb, bank which also funded the Russian Revolution.
The very heart of Hitler’s war machine was the chemical giant, I.G. Farben, which had an American arm that was controlled by the Rothschilds through their lackeys, the Warburgs.
Paul Warburg, who manipulated into existence the privately-owned "central bank" of America, the Federal Reserve, in 1913, was on the board of American I.G. Indeed Hitler’s I.G. Farben, which ran the slave labour camp at Auchwitz, was, in reality, a division of Standard Oil, officially owned by the Rockefellers, but in truth the Rockefeller empire was funded into existence by… the Rothschilds.
See And The Truth Shall Set You Free and The Biggest Secret for the detailed background of this and other aspects of this story.
The Rothschilds also owned the German news agencies during both World Wars and thus controlled the flow of "information" to Germans and the outside world. Incidentally, when Allied troops entered Germany they found that the I.G. Farben factories, the very core of Hitler’s war operation, had not been hit by the mass bombing and neither had Ford factories - another Illuminati supporter of Hitler. Other factories nearby had been demolished by bombing raids.
So the force behind Adolf Hitler, on behalf of the Illuminati, was the House of Rothschild, this "Jewish" bloodline which claims to support and protect the Jewish faith and people. In fact they use and sickeningly abuse the Jewish people for their own horrific ends. The Rothschilds, like the Illuminati in general, treat the mass of the Jewish people with utter contempt.
They are, like the rest of the global population, just cattle to be used to advance the agenda of global control and mastery by a network of interbreeding bloodlines, impregnated with a reptilian genetic code, and known to researchers as the Illuminati.
Indeed, the Illuminati are so utterly obsessed with bloodline, because of this reptilian genetic code, that there was no way that someone like Hitler would come to power in those vital circumstances for the Illuminati, unless he was of the reptilian bloodline. If you look elsewhere on this website you will see how the same bloodline has held the positions of royal, aristocratic, financial, political, military, and media power in the world for literally thousands of years.
This is the bloodline that has produced ALL 42 of the Presidents of the United States since and including George Washington in 1789. It is the bloodline of the runaway favorite to win the 2000 election, George W. Bush.
The World War Two leaders, Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin, were of the bloodline and also Freemasons and Satanists. They were manipulated into office, and their country’s war effort funded, by the Rothschilds and the other Illuminati bloodlines.
So are we to believe, therefore, that although this same group provably funded Adolf Hitler’s rise to power and his war machine, that he would be the odd one out, a leader of crucial importance to the agenda who was NOT bloodline?
But hold on. Hitler couldn’t be the same bloodline as, say, the Rothschilds because, as we all know, the Rothschilds are defenders of Jewish people and Hitler slaughtered them, along with communists and gypsies and others who opposed him or he wanted to eliminate. The Rothschilds are Jewish, they’d never do that.
Oh really.
According to a book by a psychoanalyst, Walter Langer, called The Mind of Hitler, not only was Hitler supported by the Rothschilds, he WAS a Rothschild.
This revelation fits like a glove with the actions of the Rothschilds and other Illuminati bloodlines in Germany who brought Hitler to the fore as dictator of that nation. He was also supported by the British Royal Family, the House of Windsor (in truth the German House of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha), and these included the British royal "war hero", Lord Mountbatten, a Rothschild and a Satanist.
Their royal relatives in Germany, who you would never have thought would normally support an apparent guy from the street like Hitler, were among his most enthusiastic supporters. But, of course, they knew who he really was. There is no way in the world when you do any study of the Illuminati obsession with bloodline that Hitler would not have been one of them.
Langer writes:

"Adolf’s father, Alois Hitler, was the illegitimate son of Maria Anna Schicklgruber. It was generally supposed that the father of Alois Hitler (Schicklgruber) was Johann Georg Hiedler. There are some people who seriously doubt that Johann Georg Hiedler was the father of Alois… (an Austrian document was) prepared that proved Maria Anna Schicklgruber was living in Vienna at the time she conceived.

At that time she was employed as a servant in the home of Baron Rothschild. As soon as the family discovered her pregnancy she was sent back home... where Alois was born."
Langer’s information came from the high level Gestapo officer, Hansjurgen Koehler, published in 1940, under the title "Inside the Gestapo". He writes about the investigations into Hitler’s background carried out by the Austrian Chancellor, Dolfuss, in the family files of Hitler.
Koehler actually viewed a copy of the Dolfuss documents which were given to him by Heydrich, the overlord of the Nazi Secret Service. The file, he wrote, "caused such havoc as no file in the world ever caused before" (Inside the Gestapo, p 143).
He also revealed that:

"..The second bundle in the blue file contained the documents collected by Dolfuss. The small statured, but big-hearted Austrian Chancellor must have known by such a personal file he might be able to check Hitler…His task was not difficult; as ruler of Austria he could easily find out about the personal data and family of Adolf Hitler, who had been born on Austrian soil...

Through the original birth certificates, police registration cards, protocols, etc., all contained in the original file, the Austrian Chancellor succeeded in piecing together the disjointed parts of the puzzle, creating a more or less logical entity. A little servant girl… (Hitler’s grandmother)… came to Vienna and became a domestic servant, mostly working for rather rich families. But she was unlucky; having been seduced, she was about to bear a child. She went home to her village for her confinement… Where was the little maid serving in Vienna? This was not a very difficult problem.
Very early Vienna had instituted the system of compulsory police registration. Both servants and the employers were exposed to heavy fines if they neglected this duty. Chancellor Dolfuss managed to discover the registration card. The little, innocent maid had been a servant at the…Rothschild mansion. ..and Hitler’s unknown grandfather must be probably looked for in this magnificent house. The Dolfuss file stopped at this statement."
Was Hitler’s determination to take over Austria anything to do with his desire to destroy records of his lineage?
A correspondent who has extensively researched this subject writes:

"It appears to me that Hitler knew about his connection long before his Chancellorship. Like his father before him, when the going got rough, the Hitlers went to Vienna. Hitler’s father left his home village at an early age to seek his fortune in Vienna. When Hitler was orphaned, after his mother died in December of 1907, he left for Vienna not long after the funeral.

There he seemed to drop out of sight for ten months! What happened during this ten-month stay in Vienna is a complete mystery on which history sheds no light. It makes sense, now that it has become established that Hitler was a Rothschild, that he and his cousins were getting acquainted, and his potential for future family endeavors was being sized up".
The Rothschilds and the Illuminati produce many offspring out of wedlock in their secret breeding programs and these children are brought up under other names with other parents.
Like Bill Clinton, who is almost certainly a Rockefeller produced in the same way, these "ordinary kids from ordinary backgrounds" go on to be extraordinarily successful in their chosen field. Hitler, too, would have produced unofficial children to maintain his strand of the bloodline and there will obviously be people of his bloodline alive today.
So which Rothschild was the grandfather of Hitler? My thanks to a website correspondent for the additional, updated, information to this article, a man has researched this story in some detail.
Alois, Hitler’s father, was born in 1837 in the period when Salomon Mayer was the only Rothschild who lived at the Vienna mansion. Even his wife did not live there because their marriage was so bad that she stayed in Frankfurt. Their son, Anselm Salomon spent most of his working life in Paris and Frankfurt away from Vienna and his father.
Father Salomon Mayer, living alone at the Vienna mansion where Hitler’s grandmother worked, is the prime, most obvious candidate.
And Hermann von Goldschmidt, the son of Salomon Mayer’s senior clerk, wrote a book, published in 1917, which said of Salomon:

"…by the 1840s he had developed a somewhat reckless enthusiasm for young girls.." and "He had a lecherous passion for very young girls, his adventures with whom had to be hushed up by the police."

And Hitler’s grandmother, a young girl working under the same roof would not have been the subject of Salomon’s desire?
And this same girl became pregnant while working there? And her grandson becomes the Chancellor of Germany, funded by the Rothschilds, and he started the Second World War which was so vital to the Rothschild-Illuminati agenda? And the Illuminati are obsessed with putting their bloodlines into power on all "sides" in a conflict?
And the Rothschilds are one of their most key bloodlines? And it is all a co-incidence?
HITLER WAS A ROTHSCHILD!!
The Second World War was incredibly productive for the Illuminati agenda of global control.
It led to an explosion of globally-centralized institutions, like the United Nations and the European Community, now Union, and many others in finance, business, and the military. Precisely what they wanted. It also put countries under an enormous burden of debt on loans provided to all sides by... the Rothschilds and the Illuminati.
The Rothschilds had long had a plan to create a personal fiefdom for themselves and the Illuminati in Palestine and that plan involved manipulating Jewish people to settle the area as their "homeland." Charles Taze Russell, of the Illuminati-reptilian Russell bloodline, was the man who founded the Watchtower Society, better known as the Jehovah’s Witnesses.
He was a Satanist, a pedophile according to his wife, and most certainly Illuminati.
His new "religion (mind-control cult) was funded by the Rothschilds and he was a friend of theirs, just like the founders of the Mormons who were also Rothschild-funded through Kuhn, Loeb, and Co. Russell and the Mormon founders were all Freemasons.
In 1880, Charles Taze Russell, this friend of the Rothschilds, predicted that the Jews would return to their homeland. It was about the only prediction Russell ever got right. Why? Because he knew that was the plan. He wrote to the Rothschilds praising their efforts to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine.
Then, in 1917, came the famous Balfour Declaration, when the British Foreign Minister, Lord Balfour, stated on behalf of his government that they supported the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Now when you hear that phrase, the Balfour Declaration, you get the feeling that it was some kind of statement or public announcement. But not so.
The Balfour declaration was a letter from Lord Balfour to… Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild. Researchers say that the letter was in fact WRITTEN by Lord Rothschild and his employee, the banker, Alfred Milner. Now get this. One of the most important secret societies of the 20th century is called the Round Table. It is based in Britain with branches across the world.
It is the Round Table that ultimately orchestrates the network of the Bilderberg Group, Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission and the Royal Institute of International Affairs. See my books for details.
How fascinating then, that Lord Balfour was an inner circle member of the Round Table, Alfred Milner was the Round Table’s official leader after the death of Cecil Rhodes, and the Round Table was funded by... Lord Lionel Walter Rothschild. These were the very three people involved in the Balfour Declaration of 1917.
Two years later, in 1919, came the Versailles Peace Conference near Paris when the elite of the Round Table from Britain and the United States, people like Alfred Milner, Edward Mandel House, and Bernard Baruch, were appointed to represent their countries at the meetings which decided how the world would be changed as a result of the war these same people had created.
They decided to impose impossible reparations payments on Germany, so ensuring the collapse of the post-war Weimar Republic amid unbelievable economic collapse and thus create the very circumstances that brought the Rothschild, Hitler, to power. It was while in Paris that these Illuminati, Round Table, members met at the Hotel Majestic to begin the process of creating the Bilderberg-CFR-RIIA-Trilateral Commission network.
They also decided at Versailles that they now all supported the creation of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. As I show in my books, EVERY ONE of them was either a Rothschild bloodline or was controlled by them.
The American President, Woodrow Wilson, was "advised" at Versailles by Colonel House and Bernard Baruch, both Rothschild clones and leaders of the Round Table in the United States; The British Prime Minister, Lloyd George, was "advised" by Alfred Milner, Rothschild employee and Round Table leader, and Sir Phillip Sassoon, a direct descendent of Mayer Amschel Rothschild, the founder of the dynasty; The French leader, Georges Clemenceau, was "advised" by his Minister for the Interior, Georges Mandel, whose real name was Jeroboam Rothschild.
Who do you think was making the decisions here??
But it went further. Also in the American delegation were the Dulles brothers, John Foster Dulles, who would become US Secretary of State, and Allen Dulles, who would become first head of the new CIA after World War Two. The Dulles brothers were bloodline, would later be supporters of Hitler, and were employed by the Rothschilds at Kuhn, Loeb, and Co. They were also involved in the assassination of John F. Kennedy and Allen Dulles would serve on the Warren Commission which investigated the assassination.
The American delegation at Versailles was also represented by the Rothschild-controlled, Paul Warburg, of Kuhn, Loeb and the American branch of I.G. Farben, while the German delegation included his brother, Max Warburg, who would become Hitler’s banker!! Their host in France during the "peace" conference was… Baron Edmond de Rothschild, the leading force at the time pressing for the creation of a Jewish homeland in Israel. See my books for fine detail.
The Rothschilds have always been the true force behind the Zionist Movement. Zionism is in fact SIONism, Sion = the Sun, hence the name of the elite secret society behind the Merovingian bloodline, the Priory of Sion. Contrary to most people’s understanding, Zionism is not the Jewish people. Many Jews are not Zionists and many non-Jews are. Zionism is a political movement, not a race. To say Zionism is the Jewish people is like saying the Democratic Party is the American people. Jewish people who oppose Zionism, however, have been given a very hard time.
Now, having manipulated their puppet-governments to support their plan for a personal fiefdom in the Middle East, the Rothschilds began the process of settling Jewish people in Palestine. As always they treated their own people with contempt.
Enter Baron Edmond de Rothschild, the "Father of Israel", who died in 1934, the man who hosted the Versailles "peace" delegations. Edmond was from the French House, like Guy de Rothschild. Edmond, in fact, began to settle Jews in Palestine as far back as the 1880s (when Charles Taze Russell was making his prediction).
He financed Russian Jews to establish settlements in Palestine, but it was nothing to do with their freedom or birthright, it was to advance the Rothschild-Illuminati agenda. Edmond financed the creation of farms and factories and ran the whole operation with a rod of iron.
The Jewish farmers were told what to grow and they soon found out who was in charge if they questioned his orders. In 1901, these Jewish people complained to Rothschild about this dictatorship over their settlement or "Yishuv".
They asked him:

"..if you wish to save the Yishuv, first take your hands from it, and…for once permit the colonists to have the possibility of correcting for themselves whatever needs correcting.."

Baron Rothschild replied:

"I created the Yishuv, I alone. Therefore no men, neither colonists nor organizations, have the right to interfere in my plans.."

In one sentence, you have the true attitude of the Rothschilds to Jewish people, and indeed, the human population in general.
These people are NOT Jews, they are a non-human bloodline with a reptilian genetic code who hide behind the Jewish people and use them as a screen and a means to an end. According to Simon Schama’s book, Two Rothschilds and the Land of Israel (Collins, London, 1978), the Rothschilds acquired 80% of the land of Israel.
Edmond de Rothschild worked closely with Theodore Herzl, who just happened to be the founder of Zionism, the political movement created to ensure a "Jewish" homeland in Palestine. Rothschild was also the power behind Chaim Weizmann, another leader of Zionism.
As Rothschild told Weizmann:

"Without me Zionism would not have succeeded, but without Zionism my work would have been stuck to death."

So now with the Rothschilds increasing their financing of Jewish settlements in Palestine, and with their agents in governments officially supporting their plans for a Rothschild, sorry Jewish, homeland, they needed a catalyst which would demolish Arab protests at the take-over of their country.
That catalyst was the horrific treatment of Jews in Germany and the countries they conquered by the Rothschild-funded Nazis and one of their own, a Rothschild called Adolf Hitler.
The wave of revulsion at the Nazi concentration camps gave vital and, in the end, crucial impetus to the Rothschild agenda. It was they who funded the Jewish terrorist operations like the Stern Gang and Irgun, which committed mayhem and murder to bring the State of Rothschild (Israel) into being in 1948.
These terrorist groups, who slaughtered Jewish people with equal enthusiasm, were led by the very people who later rose to lead the new Israel… people like Menachem Begin, David Ben-Gurion, Yitzhak Rabin, and Yitzhak Shamir. It was these Rothschild-controlled Zionist gangs who murdered the international mediator Count Bernadotte on September 17, 1948, apparently because he had been intending to present a new partition resolution to the United Nations.
And the Rothschilds were not satisfied with causing the unimaginable suffering of Jewish people under the Nazis, they also stole their wealth when the war was over, just as they stole the Russian wealth during the revolution they had financed.
In early 1998, during a speaking tour of South Africa, I had a personal meeting with P.W. Botha, the apartheid President of South Africa during the 1980s.
The invitation came out of the blue when I was speaking a few miles from his home. We spoke for an hour and a half about the manipulation of South Africa and it was not long before names like Henry Kissinger, Lord Carrington, and the Rothschilds came up.

"I had some strange dealings with the English Rothschilds in Cape Town when I was president", he said, and he went on to tell me a story that sums up the Rothschilds so perfectly.

He said they had asked for a meeting with him and his foreign minister, the Illuminati operative, Pik Botha (no relation).
At that meeting, he said, the Rothschilds told him there was massive wealth in Swiss bank accounts which once belonged to German Jews and it was available for investment in South Africa if they could agree an interest rate.
This is the very wealth, stolen from German Jews who suffered under the Nazis, which has come to light amid great scandal in recent years. The Rothschilds have been making a fortune from it since the war!! Botha told me he refused to accept the money, but Pik Botha left the meeting with the Rothschilds and he could not be sure that they did not come to some arrangement.
Breathtaking? Of course it is, but the world is not how we think it is.
To this day the Rothschilds continue to control the State that has their family symbol on it’s flag and it is they who use that country and its people to maintain the conflict, both within its borders and with surrounding Arab countries, which has allowed the Illuminati-Rothschilds to control their so called "Arc of Crisis" in the Middle East through divide, rule, and conquer.
It has allowed them, not least, to control the oil-producing countries since the war when the oil really came on line.

PLEASE, JEWISH PEOPLE OF ISRAEL AND THE WORLD, LOOK AT THIS. YOU ARE BEING PLAYED OFF AGAINST THE NON-JEWISH RACES AND VISA-VERSA. YOU AND ALL OF US WHO CARE ABOUT OUR CHILDREN AND THE FREEDOM OF THE WORLD MUST UNITE AND FOCUS ON THE FORCE THAT IS PLAYING ALL PEOPLE LIKE A VIOLIN. FEAR OF EACH OTHER AND DIVIDE AND RULE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE BASIC TOOLS OF DICTATORS, GLOBAL AND OTHERWISE. AND I SAY THIS TO ARAB PEOPLE: NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, DO THE ROTHSCHILDS AND THE ILLUMINATI CONTROL ONLY ONE SIDE IN A CONFLICT. IF THEY DID THEY COULD NOT BE SURE OF THE OUTCOME AND THAT’S NOT THE WAY THEY PLAY THE GAME. IN EVERY SIGNIFICANT CONFLICT THEY CONTROL THE LEADERSHIP OF ALL FACTIONS, EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY FIGHT AND BATTLE WITH EACH OTHER ON THE PUBLIC STAGE. SO WE KNOW WHO CONTROLS THE JEWISH LEADERSHIP IN ISRAEL. THE ROTHSCHILDS AND THE ILLUMINATI. BUT WHO, THEREFORE, CONTROLS YASSER ARAFAT? I’ll GIVE YOU ONE GUESS. THE SAME PEOPLE WHO CONTROLLED MENACHEM BEGIN OF ISRAEL AND PRESIDENT SADAT OF EGYPT DURING THE "PEACE AGREEMENT" OF THE CARTER PRESIDENCY. BEGIN, SADAT, AND CARTER, WERE ALL ILLUMINATI PUPPETS, JUST AS THE ISRAEL LEADERSHIP, ARAFAT, AND CLINTON ARE TODAY. IT’S A SCAM, A SHAM, A MOVIE FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION ONLY. WHAT IS DONE IS DONE AND THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL-PALESTINE NEED TO WORK AND LIVE TOGETHER IN HARMONY AND MUTUAL RESPECT. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY, EXCEPT MORE DEATHS, MORE SUFFERING, MORE CONFLICT - EXACTLY WHAT THE ILLUMINATI AND THE ROTHSCHILDS WANT.

THEY HAVE HORRENDOUS PLANS FOR ISRAEL IN WHICH ALL SIDES WILL SUFFER, NOT LEAST THEIR PLANS FOR A MAJOR EVENT AT THE TEMPLE MOUNT MOSQUE, THE SITE OF THE SO CALLED "TEMPLE OF SOLOMON" ACCORDING TO THE JEWISH BELIEF SYSTEM COME ON PEOPLES OF THE WORLD, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR RACE, COLOUR, OR CULTURE. NO MATTER WHAT YOUR RELIGIOUS BELIEF OR YOUR SPIN ON LIFE.
THE FREEDOM, WHAT REMAINS OF IT, FOR ALL OF US IS AT STAKE HERE AND WHILE WE ARE DIVIDED ON THESE IRRELEVANT GROUNDS, THAT FREEDOM IS DOOMED.
LETS WORK TOGETHER WHILE THERE IS STILL TIME. WAR IS OVER WHEN WE WANT IT. THE WORLD IS WHATEVER WE ALLOW IT TO BE. WE WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD. OK, LET’S CHANGE OURSELVES.

I drink a lot 3

Sports. I played some cricket during lunch at school and actually for a local team.
Probably really only one match where I was 12th man and sent in just to play to a draw.
I also played some tennis to be closer to the girl I liked. I took it up again when
moving to this local town. I played social, never meant to win but sometimes I would
shine. One new local guy had a great tennis game and actually taught local kids and I
would help him. Also went to table tennis with him. That wasn't so great. But it was
fun. In the 2000's started playing tennis with a social singles group. One night I
remember a guy coming along that was there to win against guys and girls. We always
played doubles to make sure everyone got a chance. I saw he was not a social player
but a win everything player and he was quite aggressive. I played him with 2 other
women. I don't know if he was trying to win all the time. I felt he was trying to
beat everyone and the other people felt he did't belong. Anyways with my talent I
could play better against someone who thought they were better than everyone else.
Or as my local tennis matches with that guy I could actually give him a run for his
money. Anyways we played and I think me and my teammate won. He never came back. I
think I was their hero. for a little while. I am sure we had a conversation about it.
I actually met a guy there that owned a couple of taxis. I didn't go to drive for him.
I was driving at night at that time and in 2006 or so and was driving along and fell
asleep at the wheel. Crashed, wrote off the taxi and cracked my knee and couldn't
drive for awhile.

I thought it was 6 weeks or 10. Not sure now. I asked my mum to help me and also got
$something a week from insurance. Anyways that was the depot where I later worked.
I had to use crutches to get around. This was when I lived with the vietnamese girl.
I had to hop up to the bus stop. If I got up early I could get a bus straight to the
hospital for physical therapy. But I often missed that bus and has to catch a bus to
the city then catch another bus to the hospital. That always take all day but it was
only a day every fortnight. But still this probably screwed up my knee. It hurts
sometimes even now. A few times at the dealership I hurt it or it let me down.
I fell over a car's towbar cause I parked it backwards. I think my knee actually
dislocated or it bent backwards. I yellew for help and they guys came out to help
me.another time I was walking up to the other workshop. Quite a hill. And felt really
bad pain and had to sit down. I think after a hal hour I went to the workshop
controller to say can I stop doing any hard to get in cars. 350Z. He said sure.

Anyways that really affected my tennis. I did try to take it up again with a FWB.
But I couldn't run. After asking that depot if I could move into a house next to
the depot I was later asked to start working for them. I was paying too much for
rent at a place in that hilly place after the place with the vietnamese girl.
Funny fact when I left that hilly place near the city the circle bus route became
FREE. KARMA??? A really crappy thing. I would drive for that depot then park the
taxi on the street. One day I got a parking ticket. What a ducking dunt. Some time
after I started working there the hot water device broke and I was without.
I had to use the taxi depots shower. For 6 MONTHS. they finally found someone to
fix it. It's like wow. For context they owned 75 taxi licences. They were rich.
And never spent it on cars. The patriach drove a luxury version of make of car that
I have 2 wagons to and a ute. Nothing like a supercar or a rolls royce. The luxury
car was actually used as a limo previously to make money. Up to probably 2011 taxis
made a lot of money and were worth $400,000. But after ridesharing started they
became almost worthless. So they are making millions but can't afford a plumber to
fix a hot water system?

Visiting cricket team. Would they rather be home with the pendemic?

Yes I want to die. No I can't kill myself.

I almost feel sorry for the human race.

That 1994/1995 relationship with that man was more likely 1991/1992. The local gay
guy that I was friends with was from 1994 to 2001.

September 12, 2001 during the day I couldn't sleep or get away from what happened.
I went to see a movie. The cinema was empty. I could sit anywhere.

Yes I stayed with my family too long but I couldn't find anyway out. Maybe someone
will point that out. Now it's why pay rent somewhere when I can live at home
for free. Plus most of my family is dead.

In a big freeworld country could a great president and a great senate change the 2nd
amendment about the right to bear arms. Our leader after a big massacre at an island
state, made gun ownership a lot harder. That was a great idea.

Just read a story about a little girl 3 years old getting attacked by a pit bull in a
service dog vest. WTF. Get rid of these dogs. Bloody hell what is wrong with people.

Just heard another story about a man's sentence being reduced from 11 years to 9.5
years after setting his gf on fire. WHAT THE DUCK! He should be jailed for life.

In 2012 when I stopped drinking I also Stopped using sugar, salt and caffeine, as
well as fast food and using oil in cooking. Stopped drinking coffee and tea and
only drank a hot chocolate type drink in my country that could also be enjoyed cold.
when I first starting living with the "GF" she would cook and after a few weeks I
found I couldn't eat her food because of all the oil and salt she used. So I started
cooking my own dinner. also it came apparent that I couldn't keep any food in the fridge
I supplied because of all the meat she would buy. I had to get a second fridge. She
bascially filled the fridge with meat and potatoes and soft drink cans.

The house we lived in had some problems. There was a leak in the roof and the little
room I was sleeping in grew black mold all over the walls. When I got the landlord
to fix it that's probably why we got kicked out. Sometime during that time some guy
visited and wanted to see my "gf". I just told him she wasn't home and I didn't know
where she was. He asked who I was but I didn't tell him. He said to I have to tell
him who I am. I again said nope. AFter he left the police showed up. They said they
had an anomynous report of someone robbing things at my address. YES THAT DUCKING
DUNT CALLED THE POLICE ON ME BECAUSE I DIDN"T TELL HIM WHO I WAS!! Anyways I showed
them my ID and told them my side of things and they said I was right to refuse to
tell him who I was.

In 1982 My schoolmates and I were set to be at the Commonwealth Games' Opening
Ceremony. Were told we would get tracksuits and shoes. Unfortunately Dad had his
accident.

On the day of my son's memorial, The "gf" said that she missed me having that job
where I was away every day. I said I didn't like it because of the bullying and
stuff. Now I think that was a red flag.

What is wrong with the government, they continue football, cricket and tennis, but
they restrict private functions like funerals, weddings and parties. They keep
flying people in for tennis and they test positive? This is why I think
governments should be ended. This absolute disregard for safety towards other people
and allowing these sporting events to keep happening reinforces my hatred of
politicians.

One last thing. I do hope I die soon. This world is stuffed.
Yes I am screwed up. With all my experiences tell me someone who turned out
better.

I think I will stop watching youtube videos about reddit stories. All of the people
on reddit are stupid. They suggest so many stupid things. One woman wanted her husband
to get rid of a dog because she felt it was dangerous, but the husband wouldn't name
the breed of dog. So it's possible the dog is dangerous. dogs do attack kids and kill
them. If your wife says get rid of the dog get rid of the dog. What the ducking duck
is wrong with you.

That tennis no.1 complaining about the conditions of being here. SEND HIM HOME.
It seems that one country has stopped admitting emergency cases into hospitals unless
they have covid. Another thing ONLY PROFESSIONAL SPORTS HAVE BEEN ALLOWED. AMATUER
SPORTS HAVE BEEN PUT ON HOLD.

A pocketwatch owned by my Grandfather was given to my older brother to get repaired.
As far as I know it never was. And I don't know what happened to it.

My local council has started the drink container buy back scheme which is good. But
they don't do any other recycling. I thought I found a great recycling company that
was recycling difficult things like blister packs. But they only supply a voucher
to buy their products that include a lot of essential oils. Like an old snak oil
salesman. You can recycle metal and get money for it. Also if I take metal to my
local tip I don't get any money for it.

I cant remember my early life. Maybe I am my stepfather's child? Perhapes I am my
father's child? Even if my dad was abusing my mum, my mum convenity found my step
father. I think there may have been cheating involved. Doesn't make it right.
Nearly everyone involved is dead now.

Qannon or however they spell their stupidy. Thay thought trump and their people
would arrest Biden and other people. What the hell is wrong with these people.
And then let's get to some high flying internet companies not wanting to pay
for news. HOW ABOUT WE END YOU.

Sometime maybe in 1983 I was sick at school when I threw up and was taken to
the doctor. I was diagnosed with Malnutrition. My dad was at the time told
to feed me properly. This was probably before I started stealing stuff.
He did start to feed me properly but he was still drinking a lot.

At the primary school when I got the cane. So I am sitting on my bike
during lunch and the son of the teacher said to his father I had the
stand up. YES I GOT THE CANE BECAUSE I HAD THE STAND UP! I received the cane.
Was always on the hand and would get between 3 and 10 cuts. Guess what, I did
wag school a lot too. and probably got the cane for that too. Guess that kid
deserves a good talking to now. BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THE STAND UP! Because my leg
was behind the stand and the kid couldn't see through my leg.

I just did an archive search on the web and found out a few interesting things.
They have many corporal punishment registers for schools. But none for mine.
So should I try and start one for my old school. Or not.

I have reached out to my old school alumni now and have told them about me
writing this out. I doubt they would be happy about what I have to say.
One or 2 instances that I remember. One time I mouthed the words to F**k you
to the teacher and therefore was probably given the cane again. Another time
the teacher gave me an assignment that I was to present to the class about
snakes. I don't like talking in front of people. I did a poor job of it, so
a day or so later he got his son to do the same but much better job of course.

After we left the family home in 1973 I think, we moved to a farm house with
lots of land. I was going to another school that was near my brother's special
school and my dad's workplace. One day on the property I saw a girl riding her
horse on the property and I told her she couldn't which was probably not really
a neighbourly thing to do. Anyways that girl turned out to be the girl I liked
at the local school when I started going there.

We use to have lots of fun on the property like tobogganing on a car bonnet.
Riding motorbikes all over the property. The local horse riding school also
pastering horses on the property.

For anyone asking about the family business. There is a Building in an inner
city suburb in the big city. It still has my Grandfather's name on the side
of the building. It was a full service service station and sold cars as well.
I think my dad told me my grandfather sold the first Holden in the state.

I don't know if any class mates also knew what happened. I guess I must have
enjoyed school at first to want to go to school, have fun with friends. I also
don't know if my stepbrothers or stepsister knew about their father. Now they
do know from my point of view. I can't prove (thank god for smart phones.
Instant correct spelling) anything that happened. They can believe it or not.
I am not interested in any further relationship with them. I think I keep my
feelings very well hidden. I didn't cry at my dad's or mum's funeral. Only
cried after my dad's death when I was alone. As for my mum well sometimes I
am sad but never have really cried since her death. For my older brother,
it's more a case of was expecting him to die for 40 years. I remember coming
out of my bedroom once, around 1987 perhaps, to seeing my older brother hitting
his head on the dining table. He was addicted to painkillers and alcohol.
sometime before he left he tried to kill himself by riding his bike towards a
power pole as he said later. Only thing that saved him was a car he hit and he
broke his foot.

It's safe to say I never passed high school and never had a high school certificate.
As for jobs they were few and far between early on. I did a community employment
program in 1986. A hospitality course in 1988 running for 4 weeks. I started my own
rubbish removal and lawnmowing business in 1993 to 1994. In may 1996 I ran away to
the big city. I started a unemployment training program about industrial cleaning.
I did that for 6 months but eventually wound up going back home. I also had a major
crash and wrote off my second ute at that time. I didn't have any insurance and had
to pay off a certain amount a week. but after awhile I stopped paying and they never
came after me. The next big thing was the winery from september 1998. Went to big city
and drove taxis for a year. Went back to small town and did taxi driving in bigger town
for 5 days. Then moved back to big city to do the junk mail delivery. After 3 months
went back to taxi driving probably doing it for about 10 years over the next 15 with
general labouring thrown in the middle at the depot. I also did some overnight taxi rank
supervising around 2006 to 2007 maybe.
From july 2008 til december 2009 I was a general labourer. 2010 I did a couple of weeks
work with a guy that fitted the taxis with radios and cameras. Around this time also
did like a week at a service centre where I saw A snake and the bosses told me to continue
working around the snakes so I didn't return. Duck them. Then again returning
to taxi driving for a short period of time but I didn't really like it anymore. I wanted
something different. So I borrowed some money off my mum and bought a near new one tonne
ute and went courier driving from december 2010 til april 2011. Around january was actually
the period of the floods and I visited mum and brothers in the small town then left and
got stranded between the small town and the big city. I returned at the end of the month.
but by April my earnings were less then chicken feed basically and couldn't afford to live.
around july i got a job at a car auction place which I left in february after writing off
the ute due to someone in a 4wd running a red light and I never one to lag too much at a
green arrow. So I left and moved up to a minning city up the north coast 6 hours from the
big city. I was going to start driving a taxi there but I didn't think I could make much money
and I was home sick also knowing that that girl didn't really want to see me much I returned
home to stay awhile. In july 2012 I go back to taxi driving in big city. Late 2012 my mum is
diagnosed with lung cancer. she tries some treatments but gets too sick so she feels better.
I had to arrange for her to go into a nursing home becuase I am away working and my brother
can't care for her. September 2013 Mum dies. I am still driving a taxi and visiting every weekend.

Around late 2014/early 2015 I did some overnight depot work and shift supervising at another
depot but the owner turned to be a real DUCKING DUNT. So I left to go drive at another depot.
I think I quit driving for awhile then did a transport operations course end of 2014. early
2015 did a day's training to get a fortlight licence. Not long after went back to driving
taxis before quiting around september 2015. Went back to driving in february 2016 then quit
around september 2016. Went back to driving around late february 2017 at another depot again.
In march I started at the car dealership. Lasting until february 2018 because of the treatment
I was put under. I then thought I would go do ridesharing by renting a car. When I went to get
my licence back in the medical i had high blood pressure. I went to see the doctor involved with
the ivf. He put me on medication. So I later asked him for a medical certificate so I could drive
for the ridesharing company and get my hire driver licence back again. I did get it but started
doing the odd jobs on that app. Did that up until september 2019 when my brother was diagnosed
with cancer.

Around 2011 I first noticed my eyesight going a little and bought a magnifying glass to read properly.
After my mum passed away I started buying those cheap reading glasses from a department store.
When I had to renew my licence after awhile and required glasses to drive, I purchased a decent pair.

When I met that really lovely young lady she lived on the coast about 2 hours from the big city.
So every second weekend I would visit her and rent a room for the weekend. Then she went back to where
her mum was and got a job in a small town which was inland from the mining town. It was 6 hours drive
there. Every second weekend I still visited her and renting a room somewhere. In february of course I
went there to stay with her but she didn't really want me to. we kept in contact but in july she tried
to ring me but i missed it and tried ringing her back leaving messages. later on I just gave up knowing
it wasn't going to work out. I heard from her again in 2014 I think and she said she just felt so alone.
Her dad had passed away. I told her about my mum and other things but it was nice to hear from her but
we would never meet again.

Sometime in 2001 I remember chatting to a girl online a lot. One day walking across a concrete area in
the big city I look up and there is that girl we both turn and look at each other, we don't say anything
to each other and then turn and walk away from each other. We did chat more but I think she thought I
should have said something that day we met. Later on I knew I had ducked up big time. She might have
been the right one for me and me for her. I will never know now. I later asked her to marry me but the
moment was past and she said no. We stopped chatting and through another online contact who I asked to
chat to her it seemed like she did want me to ask her to marry me. I did actually purchase 2 rings too.

At another point in the early 2000's I was chatting to a girl quite regurly and both of us wanted to meet
and made a date. After her not turning up I kept messaging her then got a reply which read, "this is her
friend, I am sorry but she was killed in a car accident that day". So I asked for an address to send a card.
Take that as it is or not.

A group of the big city locals in a chat room would chat to each other and even arrange meetings at pubs.
I did go to a couple. I even stayed in a room of one of them. Then some sort of misunderstanding with a
new girl who was friends with one of the moderators chatted to me but said different things to her friend
so I bascially was outcast. but in that group initially it was fun to talk to people and meet them for
parties. And yes I met some more girls through that chat room too. One girl I got along with I met at one
of the pub get togethers but only outside because she was moving away the next day.

I don't know but it seems I make mistakes writing things out like missing words or letters. When I see a
phone number I try to write it out, only for it to be in the wrong order. So I may have a mild form of
dislexia. My second oldest brother may have a form of autism because he can talk and all but can't be in
the outside world. He also has a lot of knowledge of the stars and electiricity and electronics.

A little funny story from driving a taxi. I always grown up watching mostly british shows on tv.
After a footy game I picked up a british guy and he asked how long I have lived here and I said all
of my life. He thought I sounded Britist but hadn't been overseas. On travelling I use to want to travel
overseas. But now I don't want to really leave this country.

One night in the taxi actually picked up someone I went to primary school with. She remembered me.

Cars and Bikes I owned. First car. Bought a blue wagon off my stepbrother for a $1000. Talk about
being ripped off. It wasn't worth that much. It was a 1971 model in 1986. He should've given it to
me. After it was damged by hitting a tree I still drove it around. Eventually sold it to my best
friend's dad for $200 I think. Yea so I was abused by my stepbrothers too. Later the same
stepbrother sold his dad a piece of rubbish car for way too much. What a waste of space that
stepbrother was. I then started driving my mum's little car around. A 1976 sedan that was fun to
drive. In my wagon I was able to pull off a compression lock and braked at the same time. Locking
all four wheels and coming to a halt. My car would only do 80 miles an hour. My mum would only drive
her car at 80 kilometres an hour. I would drive it at 100 miles an hour. When moving back to other state
I got a cab over ute at first until it's motor had blown up in 1989. It was a 1976 model. Got a new motor
but sold it soon after. Soon after I got a yellow sedan with mag wheels and low profile tyres on the
front where I actually bottomed out on a dip and tore a hole in the oil sump. after getting it fixed
I soon got rid of it. It was around 1972. After that I got a 1975 two stroke motorbike. After that I
got a 1978 four stroke motorbike. Sold it a year later. Got a white sedan that later turned out to be
painted with house paint which pealed. It was 1973. Paid a $1000 but it was rubbish. Bought another car
same make and 1974 model for $50 in orange. It had so much rust it shouldn't have be put on the road.
I bought a cheap trailer and started my business. But had to borrow a friend's ute then bought my own 1978
blue ute. It was written off in 1996. I then bought a roadbike maybe 1980. It had an oil leak. Then started
borrowing stepdad's van. Got rid of the van and got another ute that had engine troubles. Got rid of the bike
and ute around 2001. Bought a four door hatchback with hail damage that was 1991. Even moved house with it.
Got rid of it around 2007. Wasn't until 2008 I bought an ex-taxi powered by gas. It was a 2002 model.
Was alright until I left the depot and had trouble trying to start it one time trying to go to a new job,
which I left for other reasons a few days later. When I got the ute which was a year old, 2008/2009 I traded
in the sedan. It was written off in 2012. In 2012 I bought the 2005 extaxi wagon that was on normal fuel and
a 2005 model with 525,000 kms on it. So after the axle broke and I had put on another 175,000 kms My mechanic
mate found the front shocks were shot. So I borrowed money off my brother to buy a newer wagon being a 2008
model. It started with 153,000 and now has 196,000 on it. Don't ever look up the company that owned your car
previously. It was a car used to pick up dead bodies. It even had a stainless steel cover over the bumper
at the back. Which I later recycled when I removed the tow bar from the oldwagon to put on the newer one.
The 2005 wagon I paid $3500 plus rego. The 2008 wagon I paid $6995 including 6 months rego.

A somewhat mundane event was that one day my dad promised me a toy from the top shop. So I waited for him there.
He of course had forgotten about the promise and just gone staright home. After it was dark the owner of the
shop drove me home in his jaguar all the while showing off his electric windows and things the car had. When
we drove down the driveway we saw a few cop cars. Dad had called the cops when I didn't show up. I don't think
I got in any trouble with the police. I don't remember dad's reaction though. He did take me to a toy shop the
next day where I could pick out any toy I wanted.

A few weeks or maybe a month or so after leaving that job of delivering junk mail I did see my friend again.
She told me she didn't blame me for leaving because of her EX bf. Yep she left him because he was a waste of
space. I had told her that he reminded me a lot of my dad. Later we sort of saw each other more and would talk
about things but I never really told any more about my dad. But yea he was a big waste of space.

I remember many times going with my uncle, brothers, and dad into the big city Exhibition. My uncle was in a
precision driving team for holden. There were four cars that had different colour headlight covers and other
things maybe like trim colours. The four colours were yellow, blue, green and red. So that ex-taxi sedan that
I bought, I painter the trim, grill, windscreen wipers, boot handle and trim, Blue firstly, then changed the
colour to yellow green and red through the different seasons then back to blue and kept it blue after that.

A country just had a military coup after an election that was fair. Could this have happened to another country
that a former leader incited a mob to get rid of a new leader.

I've had the crazy idea of putting up some of my story then leaving the school group on facebook. It's like ummm
well. you need to know but I am not going to meet with you lot now. Honestly if I ever met that principal in
person now I would seriously go through pros and cons of killing him in the most disgusting way. So I put up
some of my story pertaining to that teacher, his kid and the principal and left the group.

Sometime in possibly 1979 or 1980 before the other couple had bought stepdad's mother's house I walked to their
old house and probably hitchhiked some of it. It was about 16 kilometres. My mum and stepdad had gone to their
place the night before and not come home so I went looking for them.

In 2011 I "rescued" a thai girl from her bf and moved her in where I was staying. Sometimes I did stay in a
caravan park or hotel for a few nights. Anyways she wantes to go out and asks me to show her out where she
actually meets another guy and she didn't want me to see him. After I see him I just take all of her stuff
to a shopping centre and dump it. I did get a phone call from the police the next day. He asked my side.
But didn't really have anyway to arrest me. And told me bascially not to do it again. I think she thought
I would be arrested and jailed lol. was bascially a he said she said case. Serves her right for trying to
use me.

I have liked roast meals as long as I can remember because my dad would cook one every weekend. I can't really
cook a good roast. Have tried once but it didn't turn out well. Anyways before 1980 my dad thought we would
like cow's tongue. I said I dont want to taste anything that could taste me. Pretty sure I went hungry that
night.

Christmas day 1991, A 8 foot brown snake slithered along our patio and raised itself against the shut screen door.
Mum wanted me to go out and chase it away. I only had a 4 foot shovel. I stayed away from it. It must have been
a pregnant female. A few days later saw a few baby snakes headed for the trees.

Early in 2020 me and my brother each got a cold. It was a normal cold. No way it was the virus. Both mine and his
sence of taste changed. His was because of chemotherapy. I thought I was becoming intolerant of dairy or lacteous
or something else. Later worked out that my change to sence of taste was because of being over 50.

On a bus trip from one city to another in maybe in 1989 woke up halfway to the bus almost going off the road. All
passengers think that the driver fell asleep for a moment. This was a 24 hour trip. Didn't sleep anymore during
that trip. And only had 3 more trips in 1999 which was the same trip, in 2001 which was a 6 hour trip and then
2012 which was only a 8 hour trip.

Sometime in 2000 I did do a security guard course and got a licence. I did work in the airport around 2001 or 2002.
Didn't last long because of the pay being every fortnight but taxi driving would give me pay every shift. The
downside of being paid every day meant that I didn't save anything and actually incured a big GST and tax bill
that I had to pay off finally in 2008 and 2009. And again in 2015 to 2017 I had forgotten to send in my BAS' for
years so had to send them in and pay it all off. At one point I forgot a section and had to change my reports. Was
later told by the tax office that it couldn't be changed and go a lot of credit back. So i spent it, instead of
paying off any debt.

Sometime in the mid 2000's I think, I would pick up a guy in the taxi outside a big building. He would always leave
work around 8 or 9pm. He said he was sick of it so I simply said to him CHANGE. Another 3 months and I finally see him
one afternoon after 5pm. He tells me he did change to a government job and goes home at 5pm every day now.

Around 1991 to 1993 I would go to the big city and stay in backpackers hostels. I had a bad case of ingrown toenail at
one point. In 2005/2006 I had a bad case of bacteria growing on my left foot. I had to take a week off work. Mid 2018
I was stepping off my trailer and stepped on a tennon saw which flipped around and sliced my left leg open above the
ankle. I didn't go see a doctor but it has left me with a scar. Sometime after that I was doing a job and walked into
a castus plant injuring my left eye and below my eye. Took a day off then. Doing that job I found I wasn't making money
but had to keep working to be able to eat as I could not get another job or go on the dole.

Give them a Chance, finale - Hekatverse

Hello, I am in fact still alive. I'm going to post a comment below explaining what's gone on behind the scenes in reasonable detail, what's happening next etc, so stick around for that if you're interested.
Frankly, and I know I really shouldn't say this when it comes to bringing people in, but this story is not as good as I'd wish for it to be, but I felt that it was about time I got back to putting stuff out, and it was unfair to continue radio silence while not really making any progress.
Salisbury Plain Training Area, Wiltshire
“And then slot this bit in, align the prongs correctly, you’ll want to cup it with your hands. No, Ghurytva, that’s…” The instructor paused as part of the rifle sprung straight into the air, luckily not hitting anyone in the face, before it fell back to the grass. “Congratulations Ghurytva, you’ve done what every one-star cadet in history does. Now, put it back in, and do it properly this time. Everyone else, push the rear pin in until you hear the first click, that’ll keep it secure so you can take your hands off. Don’t go any further.”
Raxicarifallatorus copied the instructor’s movements, hearing a nice satisfying click and feeling the pin push against his finger. Around him, 30 Hekatians were similarly attempting to reassemble the Human rifles. Several soldiers paced back and forth, helping guide those who struggled. This had been intended as a team-building exercise, to introduce the Hekatians to using Human weaponry, but like all team-building exercises, it had really only resulted in increasing anger.
“Is that everyone caught up? Excellent. Now, lay it on the top, pick the TMH up, and take it in gently, like you’re landing a plane. If that’s how you all land a plane. Nice and gentle, good one Alknurtyb! Push the pins in when it’s secure.” Raxicarifallatorus attempted it, failing a few times, before it finally clicked into place, then bumping the pins to keep it in place. Why do the Humans make guns that are so fiddly, he thought to himself. Pins that were near impossible to pull away, parts that needed to go in at a precise angle, and so on. Still, their designs worked, so he supposed he couldn’t say too much against them.
A large tank, rumbled by along the road, followed by several transports with waving soldiers onboard. Raxicarifallatorus waved back, noting the handful of Hekatians riding alongside their Human counterparts.
“Right, do the functions test, and we’re then going to take you over to the firing range. That will be some fun.”
“Sir, if I may, I have a question. Why do you do this?” Likuhrtn asked, as he struggled to put the TMH back on.
“What do you mean? We do it because we have to know how to clean and service our guns.” One of the instructor’s assistants took up the job of responding.
“You do that all yourselves?”
“Of course we do! Who does it for you, your mum?”
“No, servicing of weapons is handled by technicians. It’s unsafe to do it otherwise.” Likuhrtn seemed genuinely baffled at the insistence otherwise.
“It’s unsafe for untrained people to service a rifle, which is why we train people to do it. That’s how we’ve done it for centuries. The better the repairs you can do at the frontline, the better it is in general. Goes for injuries, goes for vehicles, and by god, it goes for firearms. Now, while you were busy being wrong, you messed up. So do it again, and focus.”
“Hey, Hekatians, look at this.” One Human, a big burly man, drew Raxicarifallatorus’s attention away from the firing range, where he’d still not had a chance to visit. Looking towards him, he saw the Human put an object, the type the Humans called an “e-cig” into his mouth, taking a deep breath. Then he pulled his combat jacket to his mouth, breathing out. A thick cloud of smoke billowed from the bottom of the jacket, the man chuckling as the last bits exited.
“You do that to everyone, Olly, I swear. Not even that impressive.” A bored woman, who was mostly staring at her phone, commented.
“Oh come on Meg, don’t you think I look all Blackbeard-like?”
“Maybe we should dump his body in the ocean then, if he’s being all Blackbeard. See if his body circles the ship.” That was the instructor, returning from talking to the previous round of shooter’s about their performance. “Current lot are taking longer than expected, and we expected the worst.”
“That’s fine sir, we’re having the best of times here. We’re teaching the Hekatians how to play card games.”
“Are they? That’s good, just don’t let them play with real money, or you’ll bankrupt the lot of them. Anyway, while I sort these all out, there’s a reservist Major on the way, here to babysit you all.”
“Do we need babysitting?”
“Of course you do Olly, I wouldn’t trust you to unblock a toilet. Here’s that Major, so I’m going to push off.” A Humvee pulled up, dispensing a lone man, as the instructor walked off towards the firing point.
“Afternoon everyone, I’m Major Ingram.”
“Why’s that ring a bell?” Olly asked halfheartedly, putting his e-cig back into his mouth.
“Doesn’t matter.” Ingram said that rather quickly, which Raxicarifallatorus found amusing. “That aside, nice to meet you all, this is my first time working with Hekatians.”
The Major must have been a “Lazarus” then, the nickname for the thousands of ex-soldiers who’d been brought back to the Armed Forces in some way, after Human control returned to the country. It was a process happening all over the world, armies that were ballooning in size grasping for any shred of experience they could use to get the new recruits up to code.
“Nice to meet you as well, sir. I’m Raxicarifallatorus.” Raxicarifallatorus saluted, before sticking his hand out in the traditional Human greeting. The Major returned it, before moving around to the other Hekatians, who gave their names and similar gestures.
“Always good to meet our new allies. What’s it like working with us?”
“Bit all over the place sir. Not an experience I expected when we set out on the invasion. We were just meant to move in, set up, and go home when the real heavyweights moved in.”
“What did you expect, if you don’t mind me asking?”
“I don’t know to be quite honest with you. Far less rain. More mountains as well, we’re meant to be a mountain warfare unit.” Raxicarifallatorus assumed that had been the result of a major bureaucratic mess up, the kind that became almost as legendary as tales of heroism against giant monsters.
“Fair answer I suppose.” They watched as a convoy of lorries pulled up several hundred metres away, dozens of men exiting and setting to work on something.
“You know what that’s about, sir? Instructor didn’t mention it.”
“Ah, yeah, I was talking with a mechanic earlier. They’re field trialling a new system, meant to make anything into a VTOL. The mechanics don’t have a clue how it works in the theoretical sense, but they know how to put it together.”
Switching to his long range vision, his lower eyes closing in response, Raxicarifallatorus could see the people laying out several objects along the grass, before connecting them with thick wires to a portable reactor they’d removed from a lorry. Raxicarifallatorus stared at the ongoing assembly for several more minutes, before something clicked in his head.
“Are they… using gravity plating?”
“That’s what you call it? The stuff you use on your ships to generate gravity?”
“Yes. Why are they setting it up like that?”
“According to the mechanics, they use the central part to bring it down to Earth or push it up, depending on what they want. The other bits restrain it, and stop it from crashing to the ground when the centre is off.” A single jet flew overhead, speed lowered in its approach. It drew closer and closer to the plates, before breaking off for another go around. “That’s going to be their test plane then.”
“That’s a Jaguar! I didn’t know we still flew Jaguars!” Olly seemed impressed. Raxicarifallatorus was just happy to have a name to put to it.
“We don’t, that’s why they’re using it. God forbid they lost a perfectly good jet on this.” The Jaguar made another approach, this time forming a perfect, straight line approach. The closest panel rotated on it’s gimbal to track the Jaguar, slowing it even more than its engines could safely achieve. Then it’s nose passed over the central panel, and it came to a somewhat abrupt stop, floating in midair.
“Looks far messier than how we land. For us, the plane repels itself from the ground, not the other way around.” Raxicarifallatorus said, continuing to watch the display. The first time he’d experienced the effect of anti-grav-takeoff, as a child going on holiday, it had left him feeling somewhere between excited and half-sick. He dreaded to think what this far-less refined system was like.
The Jaguar gently approached the ground, it’s wheels deploying before it made a soft landing. The pilot got out and walked around, seemingly more to demonstrate his continued survival than anything else, before getting back inside and closing the cockpit once more.
“That’s the next generation of special effects right there, isn’t it. Every magician on the planet will be hankering for some of it. See, now they’re doing the take-off.” The Jaguar began to rise in the air, now being repulsed by the panels. It kept going, up and up, reaching some 20 odd metres above the grass. This time, both the front and rear panel were locked on as it began to fly off, pushing it in just the right way to keep it safe.
“Well… I think we just witnessed the future of air travel, right there. Imagine doing that with a 747.”
“Death of the V-22, more like.”
“Another reason for me to never touch a plane again, then.” Meg snarked from the back.
Raxicarifallatorus’s apartment, Islington
“Typically, we’d ask you to provide proof of membership. However, membership office was blown up during the war, so there’s not currently a way to join up officially. But for all intents and purposes, due to a complete lack of competitors, you are now officially the Green candidate for Hekatian Seat One.” It was weird, being told you were running in elections via a phone call. But that was to be expected, given the circumstances.
“Doesn’t sound so nice with a name like that, does it?”
“Well, early days, early days. By the next election, they’ll probably have a fancy official name for the seats.”
“How will campaigning be handled then?” The election was still some time away, a whole half a year, giving parties time to literally rebuild.
“Hekatians in the constituencies designated under your region, will get a leaflet for our constituency candidate, and also another leaflet, for you specifically. We’ll run events like it was an MEP thing, except we don’t have them anymore, and you don’t know what those are, in fact, ignore that bit. Just know, we’ll support you all the way through this.”
“How likely is it that I’m going to win?”
“We don’t know, to be very honest. Just remember, swings in the Human vote aren’t what’ll matter to you, ignore those polls. The only people voting for you, are Hekatians, so keep your eye on them. And good luck!”
“Thank you.” Raxicarifallatorus ended the call, scrolling absentmindedly through his phone. Glancing at the front door, he spotted a postman’s head through the frosted glass window. Raxicarifallatorus wondered who would be sending him anything, as a lone envelope dropped through the letter box.
The words “Aid From Above Worldwide”, printed in big red ink on the side, did little to aid his confusion. The logo of this organisation seemed to depict a cartoonishly drawn Hekatian, all eyes open, smiling in a distinctly Human way and holding a large box with “Aid” written in the side. Was this… a Hekatian charity organisation?
Aden, Yemen
“You got those IV bags, Rax?”
“Right here, there you go.” Raxicarifallatorus began switching the bags over, his gloves making it a little harder as he worked.
“Thanks. Ward 3 needs some of those antibiotics, so if you can get them on over there when you’re done? Here, we’ve got through all our critical cases, so they’ll want them more.” Raxicarifallatorus nodded, taking the box and walking past the rows of hospital beds. Most were occupied, some were not, with doctors and nurses flying about the room. They cleared the way for him, allowing him to get through to the corridor.
Raxicarifallatorus passed several other Hekatians on his journey, all wearing doctors scrubs like him. He noted several had ankle tags fitted, suggesting their work here was less charity, more mandatory redemption. But that wasn’t his problem, Raxicarifallatorus was certainly the former, he wouldn’t have done so much if he hadn’t. Tree planting in the Sahara Desert, landslide relief in the Philippines, and now medical work in the middle of a cholera outbreak. Aid From Above had sent him all over the world, as part of their tentative efforts at building a less tainted public perception of Hekatians.
Raxicarifallatorus snapped out of his thought process, finding himself in the middle of ward 3 already. Had he really walked all this way without even thinking about it?
“Doctor Smith? I have the antibiotics.”
“Ah, thank you… Yugnur?” The Doctor opened the box up immediately, unloading the contents onto nearby trays.
“Raxicarifallatorus, sir.” That was a common mistake. Hekatians were still too new for Humans to be successful in identifying specific individuals, not without a lot of time to get to know them. Hopefully that would change, as the strange became the familiar.
“My bad, I’m sorry.” Doctor Smith pulled yet more antibiotics out, quickly checking each packet to ensure they were properly filled. “These tablets work miracles, you know. Never would have discovered them if you all hadn’t come along. All that war really did give us a bit of a hand then?”
“Maybe. Fighting hasn’t done these people much good though.” Raxicarifallatorus gestured around the room as he talked, a habit he’d picked up from the Humans. Doctor Smith’s expression changed at that remark, a more gloomy look taking hold.
“Well, yes. But that’s why we’re here, aren’t we, MSF longer than most. And, maybe soon, we can find new stuff with a bit of shared work, rather than looking for bigger bombs and accidentally helping someone. Anyway, there’s a patient just over there, she needs a dose but we had to put her back on priority. Go give her some, would you?”
Loose Primary School Gym, Maidstone
“Dghutn, Labour Party. 31296 votes.” There was a long round of polite applause and cheering at the announcer’s words, and Raxicarifallatorus knew that he’d lost. “Raxicarifallatorus, Green Party. 20020.” Lost with dignity, he supposed. A nice high number of votes.
He listened as the announcer kept going, listing a variety of candidates he hadn’t even known he was running against. The “Hekatian Independence Party”? “Monster Raving Looney Party”? At least they’d lost their deposits, that might make them stop doing it next time.
Raxicarifallatorus stood awkwardly around on the stage, not quite knowing what to do until the list of names finished. He shuffled off, looking around for someone to talk to. But instead, someone found him.
“Evening Raxicarifallatorus. Knew I had to be here.”
“Joe! I… I didn’t know you were here!”
“What, you expected me to stay away?”
“Yes, I suppose.”
“Rude.Anyway, don’t beat yourself up about losing. Dghutn is a good lad, one of mine. Have to admit, I’m kind of to blame for it.” The thought of Joe having guided multiple separate Hekatians hadn’t really crossed Raxicarifallatorus’ mind too much, but he supposed he really should have expected it.
“Blame?”
“Well, you know… there’s a reason so many of you voted the way you did. And… don’t tell The Sun, but there were more people like me talking to the Hekatians, than there were its readers, if you get what I mean.”
“That sounds like cheating, to me.”
“If it’s cheating, then we cheated you to 20 thousand votes, that’s all I’m saying. Not that we did it deliberately, none of us knew it was going to turn out like this when we signed up for the Ministry of Integration. And look, if they’ve got a problem with it, they can campaign hard enough to win them all over, next time.”
“I don’t think I’ll ever understand the way you lot act in politics.”
“Excellent, that makes you an expert then. True expertise is when you finally realise you don’t have a clue. Now, I’ve got a party at the pub to go attend, but I’ll keep in touch if I have the chance. In fact… I don’t suppose you’ve tried alcohol yet, have you?”
“Army don’t let me do it on their time, sadly. Neither do Triple-A.”
“You’re with Triple-A now? My, the things I’ve heard about their founders. Anyway, that sounds like an opportunity for some experimentation to me. Come on, I’ll take you there.”

Keep Calm and Carry On Counting

BMO
Douglas Porter, CFA, Chief Economist and Managing Director
November 4th, 2020

While the results still hang in the balance, at this point, tacking on the states in which Biden/Democrats or Trump/Republicans are leading in, to those in which he/they have already won, it looks like the Republicans will hold onto the Senate, the Democrats will keep control of the House (albeit with a slimmer majority), and the presidency is up for grabs. Ballots are still being counted, and in counties that could still alter a state’s result. As the count continues, we have already seen some states flip and leads in others erode meaningfully. Reflecting this, no major media outlet has yet to make an ‘official’ call.
Here are the election results (so far), according to the Wall Street Journal that employs the Associated Press’ tally:
- Electoral votes (270 needed to win): Biden 238 vs Trump 213 with 87 still not decided. These include, as expected, Wisconsin (10), Michigan (16) and Pennsylvania (20). It also includes Georgia (16), North Carolina (15), Nevada (6), Alaska (3) and one of Maine’s four. The WSJ says there 18 ways for Biden to pick up 32 electoral votes and 9 ways for Trump to pick up 57, which is why market-based odds still see a Biden victory.
- In the Senate race, Democrats must pick up a minimum of 4 seats or 3 if Biden wins with 35 seats up for grabs (12 D, 23 R): Democrats 12 (gained 1 Republican seat) vs Republicans 17 with 6 seats still undecided (in which Republicans hold healthy leads). No candidate in the special Georgia election garnered 50%, so there will be a runoff on January 5th (although the Democrat was leading the two Republican candidates split their votes).
- Popular vote: Biden 50.1% vs Trump 48.2% (from the New York Times as the WSJ doesn’t report the decimals).
- Recounts are likely in many jurisdictions given the closeness of some results, and the risk of legal challenges remains high.

U.S. Implications

With the race for the presidency and, to a lesser extent, the Senate up for grabs, the only clarity for now is that the Democrats will hang onto the House and that the possibly contested results (especially if it comes down to Pennsylvania) could put fiscal stimulus plans on ice for a while. The risk of a partial government shutdown when extended funding expires on December 11 has also risen. A potentially split Congress will delay and likely result in less fiscal stimulus than if the Democrats ended up gaining control of the legislative branch. If Biden takes the White House and faces a Republican-held Senate, we could get both a longer delay and a much smaller stimulus plan, one that might simply extend key income-support programs for the unemployed and hard-hit industries, but not include new funding for strained state governments trying to balance budgets. But even a "skinny" bill worth $0.5 trillion, as proposed earlier in the Senate, is still worth over 2% of GDP and would be enough to keep the economic recovery moving forward, given the massive amount of savings piled up by households in aggregate to support spending due to earlier income-support programs. Our current GDP forecast of 4% growth in 2021 assumes some moderate extension of the support programs, and could be nudged either up or down depending on the final election outcome.
Apart from fiscal stimulus prospects, a Trump win would portend four more years of generally market-friendly policies and no tax hikes, but also ongoing unpredictability on the trade war front. Crafting a Phase 2 deal with China could be difficult in the current environment of economic uncertainty, and it’s possible that even the Phase 1 deal might fall apart if tensions worsen. Meantime, a Biden victory coupled with a Democratic sweep—which now seems highly unlikely—would usher in a sizeable increase in spending on infrastructure, climate change initiatives, health and child care, education, and housing, as well as higher immigration and less-strained trade relations with U.S.’s allies. These positives for economic growth could by partly countered by plans to raise the corporate tax rate by 7-ppts and hike personal income taxes for top earners.

Market Implications

The current contested results are good news for Treasuries, which have rallied sharply overnight, as the odds of a smaller stimulus plan have risen and investors are nervous about the possibly contested results. We still expect the long end to eventually drift modestly higher if some fiscal deal is reached in response to the economic boost and possible increased concerns about the budget deficit. Equities have started the day somewhat firmer and could rally if a stimulus deal, even a small one, is ironed out to support the recovery. In a split Congress, the potential for higher corporate taxes and new regulations on energy, financial and technology firms would be lower. BMO’s Chief Investment Strategist Brian Belski remains bullish on the long-term trend for equities, though markets could be volatile if the election results are contested. The U.S. dollar has caught a modest bid on increased uncertainty, but for now we still see a moderate weakening trend as the economy recovers and the currency loses some of its safe-haven lustre.

Fed Implications

President Trump has publicly and frequently criticized Fed Chair Powell in an unprecedented fashion. Powell’s term as Chair ends on February 5, 2022. If Trump wins, it appears (on the surface) that the President will not re-nominate him. Powell is also a Republican, the main reason proffered by Trump as to why he did not re-nominate (Democrat) Janet Yellen back in 2018, so a Biden victory might put his re-nomination in jeopardy as well. Note that Powell was nominated to the Fed’s Board of Governors in 2012, during the Obama Administration, as a compromise candidate to appease the Republican-controlled Senate (his tenure on the Board lasts until 2028).
However, likely lifting Powell’s re-nomination odds in either scenario, the FOMC’s recent modifications to its monetary policy framework have now, arguably, positioned future policy in its most politician-friendly stance ever. The Fed’s congressionally-mandated goal of full employment is now being defined so that there will not be any pre-emptive tightening of policy as the jobless rate falls towards and below the natural rate (FOMC median projection of 4.1%), unless inflation is an obvious problem. Meanwhile, toleration of the latter has been lifted with the goal of price stability now being defined as inflation that averages 2% over time. The FOMC is already targeting inflation that is “moderately above 2% for some time.”

Other considerations:

The make up of the Senate also matters for the nomination of monetary policy players, and could become an issue if the chamber and White House are politically opposite (Trump facing a Democratic-controlled Senate or Biden facing a Republican-controlled one):
Our base case is that Powell is re-nominated (if he wants the job), and this only becomes an issue if a new name is put forth.
The full Senate votes on Trump’s nominations of Judy Shelton and Christopher Waller to the Board of Governors is still pending. Waller’s nomination had bipartisan support in committee (18-7), while Shelton’s did not (13-12) with other Republicans also having doubts about her. It’s unclear whether the lame duck session will take up this matter.
In a Biden victory, the Senate would confirm the new Treasury Secretary. With Fed Governor Brainard touted as a potential candidate, this would also open a third vacancy on the Board.
A new Treasury Secretary might also take a more lenient attitude towards the Fed’s various lending facilities for which the Treasury is providing capital to cover possible losses. A total of $494 billion has been committed but only $205 billion has been deployed so far. The $205 billion can support up to $2.05 trillion of credit creation but only $123 billion has been advanced so far, in part reflecting the current stringency of the programs’ lending criteria.

Implications for Canada

While the results still hang in the balance, we can draw some preliminary conclusions on implications for Canada from the U.S. election, especially given the absence of a Blue Wave. This list is not meant to be exhaustive, but instead highlights some of the bigger potential impacts on Canada, roughly ranked in order of importance and certainty.
1. Trade: On bilateral trade, the key is whether there will be less uncertainty on the trade file, with the USMCA in place, and a split Congress. Biden’s Buy American policy would weigh on many sectors, while Trump has menaced specific industries with tariffs (e.g, steel and aluminum).
On the multilateral front, a much more constructive international backdrop would be expected under Biden, after the Trump Administration almost paralyzed the WTO. Biden has also discussed the possibility of the U.S. joining the Trans-Pacific Partnership (something the U.S. initially spearheaded).
With China, again, the tone and tactics may change but we suspect that the fractious U.S./China trade relations will persist. However, the temperature will probably be dialed down a few notches from the drama of the past two years, should Biden emerge victorious. On tactics, Biden would be more likely to enlist the support of other major economies in a unified effort to challenge some of China’s trade and industrial policies.
2. Energy: The energy file is probably the area that revealed the starkest differences between Biden and Trump and has large implications for Canada. Clearly on the downside for Alberta, is Biden’s blunt suggestion that he will pull the permit for Keystone XL. Biden’s many other proposals on the energy front are unlikely to survive a split Congress.
3. Stimulus & Growth: As outlined earlier, the election outcome points to only a skinny outcome on the stimulus front, likely regardless of who wins the Presidency. Overall, this should only modestly support near-term U.S. growth, with clear implications for Canadian exports and related domestic activity. In a separate area, U.S. policies on immigration could shift substantially in the event of a Biden victory to much more openness. It is debatable to what extent this directly affects the Canadian outlook, but if Biden undoes some of Trump’s policies, it could be more challenging for Canada to hit its new, higher targets post-COVID, and/or to retain talent that would otherwise be moving south. Note that the strongest years for non-permanent resident inflows to Canada were 2017 and 2018, with at least two forces at work—a more open Canadian immigration policy at the same time that U.S. was closing the doors. A Biden win could shift the balance back at least somewhat, even if takes a while given the pandemic realities.
4. Taxes: With the Senate result still in doubt, but leaning to a Republican hold, this is one area that may now see very little change. Biden was quite clear in his call to lift the corporate tax rate 7 ppts to 28% from 21%, but the Senate would likely block this. On the surface, this doesn’t have many direct implications on Canada. However, with government finances fundamentally weakened by the massive costs of dealing with the pandemic, there will be a focus on new revenues in the years ahead. And, it’s safe to say that the absence of tax hikes in our closest competitor will leave Ottawa with little room to manoeuvre. Moreover, we would point out that after the Finance Minister’s strong defence last week of ongoing fiscal support should apply every bit as much to keeping taxes in check as it does to keeping the spending taps open.
5. Exchange rate: We believed that the underlying trend in the U.S. dollar was likely to be lower, regardless of the election outcome. We maintain that view, with the muddied result, combined with the likelihood of only a small fiscal boost, not a dollar-friendly outcome longer term. The combination of a firmer global recovery over the next year, some of the less business-friendly aspects of the Biden proposals now unlikely, and a moderate rebound in oil, we look for the Canadian dollar to firm slightly in 2021. We continue to look for the currency to finish next year near $1.30 (or just under 77 cents (US)).
We will update this report when the results become clearer. Stay tuned.
