We need to exist NATO and the UN. The Globalists are just con men who want our money. They serve no good purpose.

We need to defund NATO if they even mention “climate change” or “global warming” ever again or spend one dime on it.

The days of the witch doctors running NATO must end and end now.

I thought we already had a bunch of freeloader organizations to “fight” mother nature. Why do they need NATO? That’s retarded.

NATO needs World War III for its “pleasure”,
AND can neither tell the truth
NOR protect the children — it should have protected —
from systematic decades of rape.

[”Climate change is an unfolding crisis”]

No. No it is not, you delusional weak-minded tool.

It’s hysteria and mass delusion.


Just wait until THIS REAL Global Warming actually occurs. THIS is the one they SHOULD be concerned about:

2 Peter 3:10-12
King James Version

10 But the Day of the Lord will come as a Thief in the Night; in the which the Heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the Elements shall melt with Fervent Heat, the Earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the Day of God, wherein the Heavens being on Fire shall be dissolved, and the Elements shall melt with Fervent Heat?

And you are a Canadian leftist, unable to talk freely in your own country because the people you elect are far more dangerous to Canadians that Putin is.

“NATO poised to battle global warming threats”

Glad to see them finally tell the truth as to why the Neocons are so OBSESSED with with taking down Russia, as Russia has the resources to allow them, China, India, and most of the Third World to give the Globalists/Neocons the finger when it comes to not allowing them access to cheap and reliable energy.

But given that Trump is now running the US, it seems to me that NATO should first try to so something about the US.

If that horrific Ukrainian takes control of Canada, Trump may well have to clean up our continent before running around overseas trying to overthrow governments like the Democrats keep doing.
