JC COLLINS-THE KEYSTONE XL PIPELINE & IMF REFORMS

And I suppose us Canadians in Alberta will also benefit, because the likely Democratic concession will be the approval of the Keystone XL Pipeline, which Obama and the Democrats have strategically held back in anticipation of a Republican victory in the mid-term elections.

Neither party really cares that much about the IMF Reforms, they have only used it as leverage in their attempts to get other legislation passed.  Now, with tomorrow’s outcome all but certain, we are likely to see an exchange of Keystone for IMF Reforms.  It would be a huge symbolic win for the Republicans, one that the Democrats can live with.  And the Koch brothers will be happy because they own the holding facilities in Hardisty, Alberta, where the pipeline begins.

In turn the Democrats will have a symbolic win, by way of IMF Reforms, before passing majority control to the Republicans. And that my friends is the bigger game, keep the viability of both parties intact so that the disorganized masses continue to accept the dialectic of modern politics.

It’s just as likely that the IMF Reforms will get passed once the transition takes place on January 6th, but that would not satisfy the international power brokers who secure the interests of the Bank for International Settlements.
