1/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

I accept several followers may block me after this statement, but that doesn't make it any less important to confront partisans with the truth, or spark debate when a Canadian political party becomes a threat to democracy & human life
2/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

Once upon a time the @NDP repped the conscience of bleeding hearts, democracy & diversity, but that party exists no more

In its wake is a hollow shell that is now directed by disinfo campaigns on Facebook, in lieu of facts & reality
@NDP 3/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

Curiously @theJagmeetSingh has proven to be out of touch with political events & indifferent to the best interests of his constituency

One example of this ego-driven defiance is opposition to the new #NAFTA at the direct cost of unions
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh 4/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

But this anomaly isn't confined to the @NDP leader & several prominent MP's have gone astray amid the chaos of abandoning the party's identity

It's alarming to see how that lack of vision has now morphed into straight-up communism...
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh 5/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

Those who identify as Democratic Socialists are now homeless on the traditional left, just as those who identify as Red Tories are homeless on the right as well

Over the past 10 years, extremes have been allowed to overtake both sides
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh 6/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

This incredible situation is especially dangerous for Canada, as the far-left & far-right are most concerned with building their ranks from youths & low-info voters who aren't experienced enough to see how they're being radicalized
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh 7/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

Don't even get me started RE #CDNmedia & the role it plays, because radicalizing clickbait is the industry's new model to turn a profit during this era of digital disruption & attempt to remake itself

But cost to democracy is too high
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh 8/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

My case in point arises from Niki Ashton today

This royal daughter of the left had the audacity to lambaste Canada for behaving as a moderate & democratic mediator, as she argues for communism & nuclear weapons

@NDP @theJagmeetSingh 9/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

Have to wonder if @nikiashton bothered to do any homework before opining about #Venezuela & purpose of the Canadian-managed Lima Group, or if her only source of information arises from Russian bots on social media

Plz let me explain...
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh @nikiashton 10/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

Ms Ashton's post defies all facts from the likes of the UN Human Rights Commission, that physically attended #Venezuela & found her beloved Maduro murdering peaceful protesters, journalists, judges, politicians, & aid workers

Con't...
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh @nikiashton 11/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

All @nikiashton & @NDP had to do was visit the Wikipedia page & bother to click the reference footnotes that lead to all original, confirmed, & published facts about the political & human crisis in #Venezuela

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venezuela…
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh @nikiashton 12/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

Instead of studying the issue & evaluating any facts, the @NDP took uninformed pot-shots based on nothing more than partisan hatred that stand to get hundreds of innocent people killed by denying their human & constitutional rights
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh @nikiashton 13/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

Ms Ashton & the @NDP don't even appear to recognize the many iterations of socialism, or that democratic socialism is different from communist socialism & how many communists use the word socialism to spin the reality of a dictatorship
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh @nikiashton 14/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

This naive behaviour is what sinks the @NDP with right-wing columnists, who are thoroughly happy to exploit the left's inability to define itself & whether it waxes communist like the interpretations of Stalin, Mussolini, & Hitler
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh @nikiashton 15/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

It does the @NDP & partisans no favours when @nikiashton attacks PMJT because Maduro claimed to practice socialism in #Venezuela

(I strongly encourage everyone who might be getting angry to read the prior Wiki page in its entirety)
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh @nikiashton 16/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

Nicolas Maduro is no saint & the type of socialism the @NDP currently supports is identical to Russia & Vladimir Putin's interpretation, as well as China & Xi Jinping

In fact, those are the nations propping up Maduro in #Venezuela
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh @nikiashton 17/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

So the @NDP, to its embarrassment, is now supporting Russia's delivery of nuclear weapons to #Venezuela (an identical repeat of the Bay of Pigs, that narrowly averted decimating everyone in North America when it first occurred in Cuba)
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh @nikiashton 18/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

The @NDP, to its embarrassment, is now supporting Maduro in withholding life-saving medications & the most basic food from everyone in #Venezuela

It supports killing anyone who tries to deliver that aid in a humanitarian crisis
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh @nikiashton 19/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

The @NDP supports throwing opposition members in jail so they can't run in elections, again identical to Putin's Russia

They support denying elections, severe corruption, & installing Maduro forever against #Venezuela's constitution
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh @nikiashton 20/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

The @NDP supports Maduro in severing the public's access to news media & social media, so the only communication #Venezuelans can receive is controlled by a dictator - as they starve, die without medicine & get shot if they complain
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh @nikiashton 21/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

What the @NDP now advocates is socialism-gone-wrong, akin to Hitler's Germany

It's frightening the party of bleeding hearts is even offside with Angela Merkel, the world's mother who has the benefit of this very experience & wisdom
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh @nikiashton 22/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

Maduro was *not* democratically elected in #Venezuela, according to all election monitors from around the globe including Jimmy Carter's institution

The only factions that claim he was are: Russia, China, Syria, Iran, & Canada's @NDP
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh @nikiashton 23/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

It's not easy to advocate for democracy when it may give your opponent the win & it's not easy to navigate around the US when Trump & Pompeo are peddling violence to replace diplomacy

But this is precisely what's needed in #Venezuela
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh @nikiashton 24/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

PMJT & Freeland have accepted a colossal task, to be an honest broker for the benefit of #Venezuela & bring a peaceful end to the crisis

The Lima Group deserves support to avert a repeat of the Bay of Pigs & any more bloodshed
@NDP @theJagmeetSingh @nikiashton 25/25 #CDNpoli #Thread RE Implosion of #NDP

The @NDP lost its way RE the definition of socialism in #Venezuela

Umberto Eco was also misled by buzzwords & propaganda in his youth. Perhaps @nikiashton & @theJagmeetSingh could learn from his experience too
