Camouflaging Racism in Saskatchewan and in the Saskatoon Police Association Tuesday, June 10, 2003 by: Mario deSantis Racism is an ugly thing but we are not going to make any progress with it as long as we done come out and deal with the issue.

The scientific governmental approach to public policies and the Iraq war: Continuous Statistical Polling Wednesday, June 18, 2003 by: Mario deSantis If you ask a question it appears that the process in itself will develop an opinion that matches the views of the questioner.

The Privatization of the Rule of Law: The Immunity Legislations for tycoon Berlusconi and hegemonic America Monday, June 23, 2003 by: Mario deSantis It is disturbing indeed to find out that the Italian Premier merely passes a law to prevent his conviction of corruption but even more disturbing that the United States is forcing nations around the world to sign agreements exempting Americans from War Crimes. Looks like Hitler and Musolini would have been better off to have had better lawyers.

America is experiencing a big economic bubble ready to deflate: The Free Market competition for grabbing scarcer resources Thursday, June 26, 2003 by: Mario deSantis The American economy accounts for fifth of all world trade and it is in a serious mess with a growing deficit, a trade deficit and mounting debt from its war adventures.

The truth is in the eye of the beholder, think for yourself Monday, July 14, 2003 by: Mario deSantis The American President and his staff are busy defending the use of a forged document more than a year old claiming that Iraq was trying to purchase Uranium from Niger.

Shifting the blame for Bush's misstatement in his State of the Union address Tuesday, July 15, 2003 by: Mario deSantis The clouds of deceit roll in as the CIA takes the blame for the Bush State of the Union speech error but other CIA people explain that the warning of authenticity had been given and ignored.

American Trade Deficit and Jobs Losses: Econometric correlation to the undervalued Chinese currency 'yuan/renminbi' Wednesday October 8, 2003 by: Mario deSantis Nipawin / The Great Wall near Bejing: Economists and political commentary on television love to use number to support their arguments and points of view.

As always, Mr. deSantis has provided you with some amazing references that deal with this issue and what it means for the world economy.

It is this divergence of reality that confounds us and Mario really only hints at the widening gap between what is really happening and what we are being told.

The Big Farce of Free Speech in the Free Market: President George Bush and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld Wednesday November 19, 2003 by: Mario deSantis Nipawin: Weapons of mass destruction, regime change, freeing the people of Iraq from a dictator all of these excuses to go to war seem so hollow now as it becomes increasingly apparent that none of those things were the objective. Now they flail away with rhetoric about terrorism when they themselves define terrorism as attacks upon civilians while their forces are the only forces attacking civilians and the people of Iraq are fighting back against soldiers and they call that terrorism. You would wonder how they can go on day after day telling thes tales, tales that even they can not believe.

A deeper Free Market in Canada: Charest fights for his privatisation of Quebec Sunday December 14, 2003 by: Mario deSantis Nipawin: It appears as though the government of Quebec like that of British Columbia has begun a process of reducing the numbers of public workers and reducing the earns of those still employed while moving more government services into the private sector.

Despotism and the hypocrisy of the top 1% class: A game of lies at the expense of people at large Wednesday January 14, 2004 by: Mario deSantis Nipawin: This story is just a brief summary of the research that went into its conclusions.

Privatising Justice at the expense of public interest: President Bush, Saskatchewan Justice Minister Frank Quennel, Premier Berlusconi Thursday January 15, 2004 by: Mario deSantis Nipawin: The equation that determines who is being served by governmental action is something that so often seems much less apparent than it should.

One condition for world social and economic growth: The United Sates must learn from the principle "give more, take less" Thursday January 22, 2004 by: Mario deSantis Nipawin: It is a pretty long stretch to imagine the United States acting as former Prime Minister Chretien once suggested "be nice". But this story suggests that the country that most threatens peace on the planet has to re-evaluate its behaviour if things are going to improve. Martin Luther King was murdered in that country but he was leading at the time of his death a crusade to make the changes needed.

Deflation is a natural phenomenon of the global market: More emphasis on full employment and purchasing power Friday January 23, 2004 by: Mario deSantis Nipawin: This week when the Governor of the Bank of Canada announced the reduction in the Canadian interest rate he asked Canadian businesses to "increase the productivity".

Manufacturing truths out of hypothesises and out of duplicities Monday February 2, 2004 by: Mario deSantis Nipawin: Logic is an unforgiving thing and we are being asked to forego logic so that new situations do not make the past the lie that it most surely was.

Bush’s Machiavellian democracy in Iraq and an extravagant American economy Thursday February 5, 2004 by: Mario deSantis Nipawin: It seems impossible for the American dream to have much of a future as the simple logic that Free Market and democracy are incompatible concepts.

Is there any malice in Bush's newspeak? Thursday February 12, 2004 by: Mario deSantis Nipawin : The economic woes of the individual citizens of the United States are far more concerning in this election year than foreign wars and security.

Have governments reduced their citizens to Doublethinkers? Wednesday February 18, 2004 by : Mario deSantis Nipawin : The frightening reality is that Orwellian thought, so much a part of the 1930s, that George Orwell dramatised in his novel 1984, seems like the environment of today. War is peace, freedom is slavery and as this story points out the power of "doublethink" is becoming common place.

Bush’s tax cuts: a reductionist economic policy for a reductionist thinker Friday February 20, 2004 by : Mario deSantis Nipawin : What is so hard to confront is the realisation that if we listen to what the US president and his government say it not only doesn't add up it doesn't make any sense either.

The roots of economic and social divisions:Anti social banking practices and privatisation Thursday March 4, 2004 by: Mario deSantis Nipawin : While in the short term there is economic ruin with more problems expected in the spring but there now is hope.

The questionable use of 9/11 images in Bush’s TV ads: Was 9/11 luck or Bush’s No Fault Government? Friday March 5, 2004 by : Mario deSantis Nipawin : Though many question the appropriate use of images from the 9/11 tragedy it is far more disconcerting to take into account the actions of the US government that may or may not have been linked to the event. The commission looking into the event is not getting much administrative cooperation and there may be a good reason for that.

The steady George Bush is no match for the reflective John Kerry Monday March 8, 2004 by : Mario deSantis Nipawin : The American presidential election is now in full campaign mode and already the two leaders are decidely different in their approach to things.
