South Korea is coming to northeast British Columbia. It was reported this week that State-run Korea Gas has signed a deal with Canadian gas major EnCana covering three fields in the province of British Columbia. Korea Gas will take a 50% interest, for a price tag of $1.1 billion.
The militarization of the continent, along with U.S.-Canada integration is taking place in areas of law enforcement, border services and the armed forces. More is being done to better protect the northern border, but somehow government needs to strike a balance between security and the movement of goods and people.
Reports are that the key witness in a grand plan to steal Canada’s water resources suddenly dies of a heart attack. How convenient.

March 8, 2010 /EIN PRESSWIRE/ Subsidies established during NAFTA negotiations to help small Mexican farmers compete with their neighbors to the north are being doled out to the families of drug traffickers and senior government officials, the Los Angeles Times reports.
This corruption has both driven subsistence farmers out of operation and encouraged the planting of illegal crops.
Of the $1.3 billion in subsidies given to 2.7 million Mexican farmers, as much as 80% of the money went to 20% of the farmers. Most telling may be the fact that Mexico has gone from a country that fed itself to an importer of food.

THE REALITIES OF INTERPERSONAL COMBAT I will start this article with a question: What are you doing on a regular basis (i.e. daily) to prepare yourself mentally, physically, emotionally, and most of all, spiritually, to not just survive, but
prevail during a violent encounter?
My comment: I am including this story today because whatever you may
feel about owning firearms, the reality of intensifying collapse is
that people ARE going to become more violent. This article is not
intended to promote the use of firearms but to explore all options
for self–protection. It’s worth the read.
I read about ancient civilizations that declined and collapsed. Most
often, shrinking food supplies were responsible for their demise. For
the Sumerians, rising salt levels in the soil – – the result of a design
flaw in their irrigation system – – brought down wheat and barley
yields, and eventually the civilization itself. For some other early
civilizations that have collapsed, it was soil erosion that triggered
their decline.
Does our civilization face a similar fate? Unless we can reverse the
environmental trends that are undermining the world food economy, the
answer may be yes.
