No, more like the parts people are saying is 'Deep State' is just normal backroom politics that changes with the times.  This stuff has always been there, ita just been amplified to mythical levels by the internet.

Politics are not supposed to be conducted in the "back room" where no one can see. It's wrong even if it has been occurring since the dawn of democracy.

Over the years the US Government has admitted to injecting people with diseases and studying them without telling them about it, giving a free pass to Nazi war criminals and making them American citizens, and engaging in the purposeful genocide of Native Americans. Shame on you for trying to convince us that the government doing things in secret is normal and okay.

The Government of Canada confirms that the Canadian Forces (CF) are beholden to the Crown:

https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/corporate/reports-publications/military-law/crown-prerogative/the-specific-case-of-the-crown-prerogative-power-to-deploy-the-cf-on-military-operations-of-canada.html

As will be discussed, a decision to deploy the CF internationally is an exercise of the federal Crown prerogative. No statute acts to limit the executive's authority in this area. While decisions to deploy the CF are, in theory, subject to the review of the courts, the courts have held that they are decisions made on matters of high policy. This means that the courts have declined to second-guess Crown prerogative decisions under applications for judicial review. Further, no Charter claims flowing from CF deployments have been successful to date.

...

As a preliminary matter, the Crown prerogative at issue in the case of an executive decision to deploy the CF outside of Canada in support of a military operation is a prerogative exercised by the federal, as opposed to a provincial, executive:

"The Queen is expressly declared to be Commander-in-Chief of all armed forces of and in Canada (Constitution [Constitution Act, 1867] s.15.). Since exclusive legislative authority in relation to militia, military and naval service and defence is conferred on the Parliament of Canada, (s.91(7)) the applicable prerogative powers appear to be exercisable by the Crown in right of Canada.¹³¹"

...

There is a wealth of case law establishing that the power to deploy the CF on military operations outside of Canada is within the contents of the Crown prerogative. From the House of Lords decision in Chandler v. D.P.P:¹³²

"It is in my opinion clear that the disposition and armament of the armed forces are, and for centuries have been, within the exclusive discretion of the Crown (…)¹³³"

In addition, the academics have consistently reinforced this common law position. From Lordon:

"The Crown has certain prerogative powers or duties to act in defence of the realm, including the power to station and control the armed forces.¹³⁴"

Also: How exactly would trump even BUY canada?  And what benefits would they have going from a self governing country to ... a state, under America, with shitty healthcare, lax environmental laws, and incredibly poor labor protections?

Healthcare is controlled by the States themselves in America. There isn't a healthcare package that Canada would have to apply. They can continue taxing people for their "free" healthcare if they want. In the US the States are basically countries who just agree to the few amendments and agreement in the Constitution such as common trade and common military. Anything not in the Constitution is left to the States. Some States are better than others in areas such as education, but that is their prerogative.

Likewise, labor protection and extra environmental laws are all the State's responsibility to regulate. The lax federal laws you are complaining about is actually the freedom for the States to govern themselves. Much of that isn't in the Constitution at all.

The Constitution is very brief in its provisions. Many of the conflicts in US Government federal policy, in fact, are about the Liberals' creative interpretation of terms like "right to privacy" in the brevity of the Constitution to allow the mass killing of human fetuses and implementation of widespread right to abortion nationally. In recent years a saner Supreme Court has struck this down, and is presently doing so for similar insanities.

If you are in a military alliance and you don't agree with how your ally got into war, you can simply leave the alliance. In contrast, the British Crown does not allow its territories to leave as easily, and has resulted in conflicts and deaths of those who have tried. One situation is a mutual agreement of both parties, and in the other situation one party has a gun to the head of another.

Trump has offered to buy and lists several benefits Canada would have if it were to join the US. This is nothing like how Hitler acquired his territories. The only authoritarianism here is the monarchy which Canada exists under, and shame on you guys for defending it.

It's a good thing this can't happen unless the Canadian parliament reinstituted conscription.  And Canada declares war or other alliances come into effect.

Okay, so a war starts against the British Crown and Canada reinstitutes conscription, citing existential threat against the monarchy, and they send Canadians to die for its King.

Alternatively, Canada can simply have no King and this scenario would not be possible.

I'm pretty sure in WWII Hitler took over countries by force and didn't "offer to buy" and suggest that they would be in a better situation if they joined with him.

What Pete said.

I trust Google AI more

> how did hitler take over other countries

AI Overview

"Hitler took over other countries by using a combination of military force, political manipulation, and a strategy of appeasement from other nations, gradually expanding German territory through annexations like the "Anschluss" of Austria, the occupation of the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia, and eventually invading Poland, which triggered World War II; he often exploited ethnic German populations in neighboring countries as a pretext for claiming territory, while also utilizing the threat of military action to pressure other governments into submission."

Even if the King wasn't currently exercising his political power, the mere fact that a war could break out over something which Canada is not a part of and Canadians could be conscripted to die for their sovereign lord is unacceptable. It's a monarchy regardless of the excuses, which comes with vast life and death consequences.

The Hitler-Dictator comparison would be closer to what Canada is. Canada is controlled by a Monarchy, which is a system of rule that has been discarded by humanity for centuries. Even if you claim that the Monarch does nothing, which is false since they 'unofficially' get their desires, it is a Monarchy nonetheless.

Britain colonized the Americas by force, and keeps its citizens under rule of a Monarch by force. Trump is offering to buy and adopt into its representative democracy form of government. It is fairly clear who the dictator is here.

Flat Earth Investigations / Re: Does light naturally travel in curved paths?

« on: December 24, 2024, 02:10:21 PM »

Considering that there is more than one photon which the sun and all light sources produce, any point made about it only happening when one photon acts upon another or a photon acting upon itself, is fairly irrelevant. Light travels in curved paths.

Flat Earth Investigations / Re: Does light naturally travel in curved paths?

« on: December 23, 2024, 12:29:01 AM »

light's path being affected by things like diffraction, refraction or spacetime curvature are well known and understood

This is not understood. In this case with the Double Slit Experiment the light isn't being affected by anything at all. If one photon is fired at the slits at a time it will will take one of the curved paths of light and make the wave pattern in sequential dots on the screen destination at the end.

https://www.imperial.ac.uk/news/244037/double-slit-experiment-that-proved-wave-nature/

"Even when researchers fired just one photon at a time, the interference pattern still emerged, as if the photon split in two and travelled through both slits."

Aside from those who say that "it's being affected by phantom light in a parallel dimension that went through the other slit", it is not explained. Individual photons inexplicably make those curved paths all on their own.

I'm not clear what your actual point is here.

The point is clearly that it is wrong that light travels in straight lines. Light travels in curved lines. As mentioned above, a single photon can travel on a curved path on its own without any known influence.

Flat Earth Investigations / Does light naturally travel in curved paths?

« on: December 22, 2024, 07:59:03 PM »

The official TFES model of the cosmos says that light is bending upwards. The article argues that there is no reason to assume that light travels in straight lines, and that curved lines are more natural in nature.

The Double Slit Experiment has shown that light exhibits wave-like properties and discredits the old idea that light exists purely as discrete particles. Not only has it discredited the old particle theory of light, but it also appears to discredit the axiom that light travels in straight lines. In these experiments it is seen that wave interference produces curved paths.

From the Double Slit Experiment Wikipedia page:



Plasmonic Young's double slits interference - Near-field intensity distribution patterns for plasmonic slits with equal widths (A) and non-equal widths (B).

Science Illustrated

A Science Illustrated article portrays curved routes:



De Broglie–Bohm theory

The De Broglie–Bohm theory in Bohemian dynamics postulates that the destination of individual photons in the Double Split Experiment is not purely probabistic as some speculate, and an actual configuration of particles exists. When the trajectories are mapped out, it is seen that the light makes these jagged curved paths:

It should be fun to watch what develops, here and elsewhere.

You may be in the wrong community then. It is a different Flat Earth community which says the Midnight Sun is impossible. This community has always accepted the Midnight Sun in its models and portrays several mechanisms in its materials, which relay that the Antarctic midnight sun has been in Flat Earth models since at least the 1920's. Even in the classic Monopole model, the magnifying dome demonstration for the seasons appears to make a midnight sun.

It's also plausible that our official celestial model for Flat Earth, the  EA Model, could be extended predict a midnight sun. If the light of the sun actually takes the shape of something similar to the closed loops of magnetic field flux lines, it could be that the earth is interrupting the natural path of the Sun's light and that the rays on a larger scale could loop around and appear to be coming from the opposite direction to a distant observer.

If we take one of the upwardly bending light diagrams in the link above and simply extend the loop of one of the rays which intersect with the earth, it loops around and appears to be coming from an opposite direction.



This isn't new, and I have my own questions about the particulars of how this dipole shape would appear, but the above appears to demonstrate that a midnight Sun is not an impossibility in current constructs.

The US doesn't have full jurisdiction over the citizens of other countries who come here. That is why when they commit felonies we can't keep them imprisoned here and have to send them back to their country and hope that their country accepts the evidence and punishes them according to their laws.

Of course it's Mexico's fault if they suffer higher tariffs if they don't follow the president elect's demands to do more to stop the illegal immigration from multiple countries pouring through the Mexican border.

Mexico will suffer with those tariffs, not the US. There are several dozen industrialized countries with low cost of living and low wages which can provide those goods and take over what market share Mexico had. Prices in the US would be barely affected, so I don't know what you guys are whining about.

Every major country in the world has industries for almost every sector. Mexico and China are specifically being threatened, not the world. If Canada and Mexico can't afford to compete then companies in other countries will take their pie.

The threats worked, since both Mexico and Canada called and groveled to Trump after he made that threat and pledged to work together on his concerns.
