Schnarr Subsidies Facts
Corporate Welfare? In Canada – ‘Fossil Fuel’ Corporations get $34 Billion dollars in taxpayer funded subsidies – In the UK – Google gets a sweetheart deal, which, when exposed, leads to a hand slapping pittance in back taxes. – Meanwhile – Provincial Governments in Canada – crying “Poverty!” are trying to convince taxpayers that they will need to pay new tolls that could cost heavy commuters $1,000.00 to $1,500.00 more every year?

— Economic Warfare —

— The oil and gas industries received $34 Billion dollars per year in taxpayer-funded subsidies? Mid-priced Electric cars cost about $31,000.00 Canadian Dollars. They figure there are 9 million families in Canada?

Schnarr 'Strategic Studies in Government Greed & Fraud"
– So the ‘government’ of New Brunswick has been ‘studying’ how to fraudulently fleece the citizens of New Brunswick and anyone else who uses their roads, and reduce their health care benefits and other services which New Brunswickers are entitled to. And, from the looks of this photo (above) it looks like they believe they can get away with that. –

— The Province of New Brunswick, crying poverty, has told the people of New Brunswick that their ‘duly elected government’ is trying to decide how to institute tolls on New Brunswick’s highways to raise money because they’re not bringing in enough tax revenues? ***Why don’t they raise taxes on the corporations that have been getting away with downsizing, knocking hardworking people from their ability to pay those taxes, which may be fraudulently reported to the media which, in turn, ‘report’ those fraudulent figures to the news-consuming public.

— Walter Burien – of cafr1.com [ (CAFR+the number 1) dot com ] is an investment counselor who has been trying to explain that virtually every level of Federal, State or Provincial, County, and municipal government has more income streams than they admit to, that tax revenues amount to one third of their actual income, and if they’re not receiving two thirds of their income from non-tax revenues, well then, shame on them for being incredibly stupid – Mr. Burien has been trying to explain this for years, has been politely screaming at seemingly sleeping citizens who, apparently, would much rather plug their ears than listen to him.

Schnarr Pipeline schnarr.
The existing pipeline would be ‘upgraded’ & converted to carry crude oil instead of gas through areas threatened by possible ‘Fracking’ and extended to where the crude oil would reportedly be shipped away from Canada to where foreign jobs would either be created or insured at the expense of any possible Canadian jobs. Renewable Energy Development would create a lot more jobs and a lot more economic stability for a lot less money.

— The proposed Energy East Pipeline upgrade would bring oil from Alberta to Saint John, New Brunswick, – reportedly: not to be refined here, an operation which would create Canadian jobs, but to be loaded on ships and carried off to refineries in the USA, where US citizens would have job security that is lacking in Canada?

— Meanwhile, Fracking has been shown to create earthquakes. Earthquakes endanger pipelines. Oil pipelines that split open spill poison into the groundwater. Poisoned groundwater forces humans to pay extra for water that isn’t poisoned, and it kills animals. Animals that die from poisoned water include farm animals that people eat, and pets that people love, and wild animals, like the Beluga whales in the Saint Lawrence River/Seaway.

— When the Mayor of Montreal cried out against the pipeline, he was first accused of being selfish, then accused of trying to divide Canadians along East Versus West, or even Anglophones versus Francophones lines. Then, after a talk with Justin Trudeau, the Mayor of Montreal clarified that his stance against the pipeline was not against economic progress or opportunities, but against the shoddy inability of industry controlled watchdogs to insure that the pipelines would be properly built, properly inspected, and properly maintained. Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, for his part, has announced that he is not a cheerleader for this pipeline project, or any other pipeline project. First Nations/Native Americans – the people whose country was stolen out from under them by Europeans – who claimed they were saving the aboriginal citizens of the ‘Americas’ from ignorance, eternal damnation and poverty – have been fighting pipelines both in the east and in the west. They have also been fighting against the practice of ‘Fracking’, which threatens their drinking water and the stability of their lands.

— Canadian ‘Law’ sees mineral rights as belonging to the ‘Crown’, land owners have been shocked and dismayed to discover that their property has been invaded without their permission by somebody who dug a hole, searching for possible minerals or other exploitable resources, & left the ‘exploratory’  holes open and dangerous to children and other living things. And then the property owners discovered that (1) they are powerless to stop this sort of thing, (2) if anything valuable was discovered on or under their property, they would not benefit from that discovery, or its exploitation or development – at all – and (3) they just might have to pay the cost of filling any dangerous holes left in their own property, or be held financially liable if the next trespasser looking to make money at the property owners’ expense fell into a hole and injured their precious selves.

— First Nations people have been fighting for centuries to keep their land and mineral rights, citing the fact that they never did sign away their mineral rights. Miners want to be able to walk onto Tribal lands and poison and ruin the area, grab whatever minerals and ores they find there, cart the valuable substances away and gesture obscenely as they ‘laugh all the way to the bank’ and capitalize on what they’ve stolen.

Schnarr Google Schnarr -
Meanwhile, in the UK – This is probably too small for you to read it, but it tells of large tax breaks given to Google and Apple Computer –

— Corporations have also been getting away with not paying their fair share of taxes in the United Kingdom. Google, which ‘mines’ information from the browsers of anybody connecting to their ‘services’ – and selling that information to the highest bidder – has recently been slapped on the wrist and asked to pay a pittance to cover back taxes – while ‘common’ taxpayers in the UK have discovered that they are now being charged unbelievably ridiculous new taxes [ like a bedroom tax? ] that sound more like Monty Python routines than anything like a real tax that any government in the Western ‘Free World’ would have the gall to suggest.

Schnarr corporations defined
– After the U.S. War For Independence – Corporations were severely limited in the scope of what they were allowed to do and length of time they would be allowed to function. When their charters were up, and their time expired, their assets would revert to public ownership. This was before their lobbyists basically pooped all over the 99% who couldn’t afford their over paid lawyers.
Schnarr slavers.
Do you really want to support an industry that exploits slave labour?
Schnarr Elitist/Fascist Governments
Human Rights Watch is raising the alarm about governments using the politiks of fear to avoid respecting the Human Rights of their own citizens as well as the Human Rights of refugees.
Gibran Quote
Inspiring words during times when the threat of darkness is raising its head right in front of you?
Tanuki / Raccoon-Dog
At least today’s news isn’t all bad – This Japanese “Raccoon-Dog”, called a “Tanuki’ is neither a raccoon nor a dog and is not recommended to be kept as a pet. Sounds like a shame, because a dog that cute would probably be fun to share your life with.

— And so, sadly, tragically, this has been a snapshot of this morning’s schnarr news of the world as perceived and shared from Atlantic Canada.

— & On the Ethics front: In France, the Justice Minister resigned her post in protest over the new French law that strips citizenship from those accused of terrorism. So human beings with their humanity and moral values intact actually still do exist as of today, the 27th day of January/janvier, 2016. Of course, the newscast that announced this brave and ethical act went on to tell us that the Justice Minister who resigned had already been replaced by a schnarr ice-hole of an Elitist shill who was firmly in favour of advancing himself without regard for ethical behaviour, due process of any law, or the health and well-being of anybody but himself.

Yum, Ireland Sunrise -
– & This, like all the graphics included here, does not contain a valid link. You might be able to copy and paste something from the graphic itself, or you might have o ‘google it’ – or, more safely, look it up at startpage dot-com, But, yeah, I think I’d rather be watching the sun rise in Ireland than sitting here, allowing myself to become upset / depressed over the latest burnt offerings from the mass media news.

— Hopelessly remaining optimistic –,
