The Symbolism Of Gerry "The Ditz" Ritz

The totalitarian state can never be become completely invulnerable or stamp out critical thought altogether. It may appear all-powerful, as it dominates all aspects of life, but is also weak insomuch as any crack in the ideological monolith is a threat to its existence.
Leszek Kolakowski, Main Currents Of Marxism, Volume III, p. 860

The Oracle of Ottawa had intended to write this bit much earlier. But I had trouble finding out which high school Gerry "The Ditz" Ritz graduated from. So dear reader you can also readily understand why I cannot find any record of even undergraduate University education. Why it seems clear that the Minister is the second dumbest hay seed yokel to ever be a Minister of State in the history of Canada! It would seem that Jethro Bodine had more "book learning", since we all know that that Jethro got to the astounding heights of the sixth grade...

Gerry - The Ditz....

We all know the history of recent events. The venerable Canadian Wheat Board is all but toast. The august Minister in the mere presence of the great man Gerry "The Ditz" Ritz laughed off the threatened coming and present events, such as Canada's loss of control of its food supply to shady foreign interests, as raised in many statements in the House of Commons, by individuals of the Opposition, that as a class,  were on average ten times smarter and more informed then the present Minister. The Minister easily pushed aside all criticism, it was really easy, he did not even understand the questions!

Now of course the harsh reality of our dark future is upon us. The largest Canadian Agriculture business in Canada, Viterra, is now a target of a hostile take-over by one megalithic and somewhat shady Glencore! The real interesting bit here is that Glencore is the rebirth of the creature created by one Marc Rich. And real further interesting bit is the successor one Ivan Glasenberg.How ironic is that dear reader? It also seems that this offshore based entity has past problems with bribery of government officials from Africa to the heart of the European Union! Now that is real brass. If you are a western grain farmer, the Oracle of Ottawa strongly suggests that you don't read down all the links, it will really ruin your day and make you very upset...

Perhaps it is time to send in the "double naught" spies from CSIS and get to the real bottom of this before it too late....
