It gets even more interesting - Jim Balsillie is/was a member of the Trilateral Commission, one of the major American globalist thinktanks associated with the CFR.

Personally, I read this as a consolidation of Canadian globalist thinktanks - the Canadian Institute of International Affairs is going to be merged into this new body, alongside the UofT's Munk Institute, and the Waterloo-based Centre for International Governance Innovation, which Balsillie (who's bankrolling this new operation) founded in 2002.

And today, a press release hit the wires that Research in Motion is now Canada's most valuable company, ahead of the Royal Bank AND that they are now expanding sales into China. Balsillie headed the firm until March of this year when he resigned over $250 million in options 'accounting errors'. So it seems we're talking about some of the biggest money in Canada.

It is quite obvious that this whole racket is nothing more than the setting up of another propaganda machine to sell worldwide corporate dictatorship, by joining the Fraser and CD Howe gangs to "make Canada more competitive on the world markets".

Think tanks are the most useless and dangerous conspiracies, where the warped mind of a single person with the necessary ESP, can infiltrate and warp the rest. They should be banned, if anything, let alone have more of them.

How did Hitler, Stalin and Mao, or any of our present political nutcases get into and stay in position of ruling the lives of millions?

ESP is a well known reality, those of us who live in relative isolation have discovered long ago and it is very difficult to come to any rational and logical conclusion on anything in crowded situations. Think tanks are the worst.

We're just leaving for town on our shopping trip and when we come home we'll be totally exhausted, as are all people living in isolation experience every time they're in crowds.

Is there anybody who hasn't experienced thinking of somebody and then have the phone ring, or a letter, or a person arrive? This is the simplest manifestation of ESP that happens to everybody. Multiply this by thousands and the effects are significant and often disastrous.

These think tanks provide free partisan support to any political party that will support their interests. They provide the "soft money" support on which political parties will more and more come to rely because there is no limits on what they can spend to present their agenda.

It is interesting that one of the issues in the "democratic reform" survey was the willingness of the public to use taxpayers money to fund these think tanks as policy making institutions.
