The U.S. economy is dying and we are heading for the next Great Depression. The talking heads in the mainstream media love to spin the economic numbers around and around and they love to make it sound like the economy is improving, but the truth is that it doesn't take a genius to see what is happening to the U.S. economic system. All over the nation many of our greatest cities are being slowly but surely transformed into post-apocalyptic wastelands. All over the mid-Atlantic, all along the Gulf coast, all throughout the "rust belt" and all over the entire state of California cities that once had incredibly vibrant economies are being turned into rotting, post-industrial hellholes. In many U.S. cities, the "real" rate of unemployment is over 30 percent. There are some communities that will start depressing you almost the moment that you drive into them. It is almost as if all of the hope has been sucked right out of those communities. If you live in one of those American hellholes you know what I am talking about. Sadly, it is not just a few cities that are becoming hellholes. This is happening in the east, in the west, in the north and in the south. America is literally being transformed right in front of our eyes.
If you still live in an area of the United States that is prosperous, do not mock the cities that you are about to read about. The cold, hard reality of the matter is that economic decline and economic despair are spreading rapidly and they will come to your area soon enough. Right now we are still talking about "American hellholes", but if the long-term economic trends that are destroying this nation are not turned around eventually we will just be talking about one gigantic "American hellhole". In the end, no area of the country will completely escape the economic hell that is coming.
Let's take a closer look at what is currently happening in some of the worst areas of the country....
Detroit, Michigan
In the city of Detroit today, there are over 33,000 abandoned houses, 70 schools are being permanently closed down, the mayor wants to bulldoze one-fourth of the city and you can literally buy a house for one dollar in the worst areas.
During the boom days of the 1950s, Detroit was a teeming metropolis of approximately 2 million people, but today the current population is less than half that. The city of Detroit, once a shining example of middle class America, is now a rotting cesspool of economic decline and it actually saw its population decline by 25 percent during the decade that recently ended. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, Detroit lost a resident every 22 minutes between the years of 2000 and 2010.
So why are people leaving Detroit so rapidly?
There simply are no jobs.
At the height of the economic downturn, the mayor of Detroit admitted that while the "official" unemployment rate in Detroit was about 27 percent, the "real" unemployment rate in his city was actually somewhere around 50 percent.
Since there are not enough jobs, that also means that not enough tax money is coming in. Detroit is essentially insolvent at this point.
Detroit officials are trying to implement some austerity measures in a desperate attempt to get city finances under control.
For example, the state of Michigan recently granted approval to a plan that would shut down nearly half of the public schools in Detroit. Under the plan, 70 schools will be closed and 72 will continue operating.
It has been estimated that the remaining public schools will have class sizes of up to 60 students.
Detroit Mayor Dave Bing also wants to cut off 20 percent of the entire city from police and trash services in order to save money.
Essentially that would mean abandoning 20 percent of the city of Detroit to the gangs and to the homeless.
The mayor of Detroit has also discussed a plan in which authorities would bulldoze one-fourth of the city in order to save money on services.
So with all of this going on, is Detroit a pleasant place to live at this point?
No way.
Today, Detroit is considered to be the third most violent city in the United States.
In fact, crime has gotten so bad and the citizens are so frustrated by the lack of police assistance that they have resorted to forming their own organizations to fight back. One group, known as "Detroit 300", was formed after a 90-year-old woman on Detroit's northwest side was brutally raped in August.
If you want to see what the future of America looks like, just take a few hours and go driving through Detroit some time. But please only do this during the day. Do not do this at night. Detroit is not a safe place anymore, and you cannot count on the police to help you in a timely manner.
Detroit was once one of the greatest cities in the world.
But today it is an absolute hellhole.
Camden, New Jersey
So is there any place in America that is worse than Detroit?
Well, many would nominate Camden, New Jersey.
Many years ago, Camden was actually thriving and prosperous. But today the city of Camden is known as "the second most dangerous city in America".
In a recent article entitled "City of Ruins", Chris Hedges did an amazing job of documenting the horrific decline of Camden. Hedges estimates that the real rate of unemployment in Camden is somewhere around 30 to 40 percent, and he makes it sound like nobody in their right mind would want to live there now....
Camden is where those discarded as human refuse are dumped, along with the physical refuse of postindustrial America. A sprawling sewage treatment plant on forty acres of riverfront land processes 58 million gallons of wastewater a day for Camden County. The stench of sewage lingers in the streets. There is a huge trash-burning plant that releases noxious clouds, a prison, a massive cement plant and mountains of scrap metal feeding into a giant shredder. The city is scarred with several thousand decaying abandoned row houses; the skeletal remains of windowless brick factories and gutted gas stations; overgrown vacant lots filled with garbage and old tires; neglected, weed-filled cemeteries; and boarded-up store fronts.
Gangs have stepped into the gaping void left by industry. In Camden today, drugs and prostitution are two of the only viable businesses left - especially for those who cannot find employment anywhere else. The following is how Hedges describes the current state of affairs....
There are perhaps a hundred open-air drug markets, most run by gangs like the Bloods, the Latin Kings, Los Nietos and MS-13. Knots of young men in black leather jackets and baggy sweatshirts sell weed and crack to clients, many of whom drive in from the suburbs. The drug trade is one of the city's few thriving businesses. A weapon, police say, is never more than a few feet away, usually stashed behind a trash can, in the grass or on a porch.
But before we all start judging Camden for being such a horrible place to live, it is important to realize that this is happening in communities from coast to coast. All over the United States industries are leaving and deep social decay is setting in.
Even the criminals in Camden are struggling. Things have gotten so bad in Camden, New Jersey that not even the drug dealers are spending their money anymore.
So where are the police?
Unfortunately, there is very little money for police. Authorities in Camden recently decided to lay off half of the city police force.
So now the gangs and the drug dealers have more room to operate.
Sadly, this is not just happening in Camden. It is happening all over New Jersey.
Of 315 municipalities the New Jersey State Police union recently surveyed, more than half indicated that they were planning to lay off police officers.
So why doesn't the state government step in and help out?
Well, the state of New Jersey is in such bad shape that they still are facing a $10 billion budget deficit for this year even after cutting a billion dollars from the education budget and laying off thousands of teachers.
New Jersey also has $46 billion in unfunded pension liabilities and $65 billion in unfunded health care liabilities. Nobody is quite sure how New Jersey is even going to come close to meeting those obligations.
Meanwhile, cities like Camden are rotting a little bit more every single day.
New Orleans, Louisiana
New Orleans had a struggling economy even before Hurricane Katrina struck back in 2005. But that event changed everything. It is now almost 6 years later and virtually the entire region is still a disaster zone.
New Orleans permanently lost 29% of its population after Hurricane Katrina. There are many areas of New Orleans that still look as if they have just been bombed.
21.5 percent of all houses in New Orleans, Louisiana are currently standing vacant. Many of those homes will never be inhabited again.
What made things even worse for New Orleans (and for residents all along the Gulf coast) was the horrific BP oil spill last year. The mainstream news does not talk about the oil spill much anymore, but those living in the area have to deal with the effects every single day.
Some of the industries in the Gulf region were really starting to recover from Hurricane Katrina but the BP oil spill put a stop to that.
Before the oil spill, Louisiana produced more fish and seafood than anywhere in the United States except for Alaska. But now the seafood industry has been absolutely devastated. It has been estimated that the cost of the BP oil spill to the fishing industry in Louisiana alone could top 3 billion dollars.
Some local shrimpers in the region are projecting that it will be about seven years before they can set to sea again.
New Orleans keeps trying to bounce back from all of these disasters, but times are tough down there.
Today, New Orleans is the 13th most violent city in America. That is actually an improvement. Before Katrina New Orleans had even more violent crime.
The truth is that other areas along the Gulf coast are doing a lot worse than New Orleans is doing. A ton of big corporate money has flowed into New Orleans. Officials are trying to clean up the city and make it a huge tourist destination once again.
But in the surrounding areas things are not looking so bright. There are areas along the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and the panhandle of Florida that are some of the most depressing places in the nation.
It is almost as if there are hundreds of thousands of people that time forgot. In some rural areas along the Gulf coast the poverty is absolutely mind blowing. There are very few jobs and there is very little hope. Meanwhile, large numbers of people in the region continue to get sick from the toxic dispersants used to clean up the oil spill.
Let us hope that we don't see another major disaster in the Gulf of Mexico any time soon. As it is, it is going to take decades for that region to fully recover. There are a lot of really good people that live down there, and they deserve our prayers.
Vallejo, California (And Virtually The Rest Of The State Of California)
Almost the entire state of California is an economic disaster zone. Austerity measures are being implemented in city after city as tax revenues have nosedived.
The following is an excerpt from a recent New York Times article that describes the brutal austerity that has been implemented in Vallejo, California....
Vallejo is still in bankruptcy. The police force has shrunk from 153 officers to 92. Calls for any but the most serious crimes go unanswered. Residents who complain about prostitutes or vandals are told to fill out a form. Three of the city’s firehouses were closed. Last summer, a fire ravaged a house in one of the city’s better neighborhoods; one of the firetrucks came from another town, 15 miles away. Is this America’s future?
Sadly, that is what the future of America is going to look like. Public services are being slashed all over the nation due to budget crunches.
Unless there is a major jobs recovery, the situation in California is going to continue to degenerate. The truth is that the state of California needs millions and millions of new jobs just to get back to "normal". For example, near the end of last year it was reported that 24.3 percent of the residents of El Centro, California were unemployed. Not only that, as of the end of last year the number of people unemployed in the state of California was approximately equivalent to the entire populations of Nevada, New Hampshire and Vermont combined.
Businesses are closing in California at an astounding pace. At one point last year it was reported that in the area around Sacramento, California there was one closed business for every six that were still open.
As a result of all of this, home prices in many areas of California have completely fallen off a cliff. For example, the average home in Merced, California has declined in value by 63 percent over the past four years.
California also had more foreclosure filings that any other U.S. state in 2010. The 546,669 total foreclosure filings during the year means that over 4 percent of all the housing units in the state of California received a foreclosure filing at some point during 2010.
Sadly, things don't look like they are going to turn around in California any time soon. Forbes recently compiled a list entitled "Cities Where The Economy May Get Worse".
Six of the top seven spots were held by cities in California.
California is becoming a very frightening place. When you combine high unemployment with unchecked illegal immigration what you get is rampant poverty.
20 percent of the residents of Los Angeles County are now receiving public aid of one form or another.
In particular, the number of children that are considered to be in need of public assistance is truly scary.
Incredibly, 60 percent of all the students attending California public schools now qualify for free or reduced-price school lunches.
Poverty and illegal immigration have also caused a tremendous health care crisis in the state. The hordes of illegal aliens taking advantage of "free" medical care at hospital emergency rooms have caused dozens of hospitals across the state of California to completely shut down. As a result, the state of California now ranks dead last out of all 50 states in the number of emergency rooms per million people.
The bozos in Sacramento keep passing hundreds of new laws in an attempt to "fix" the state, but the truth is that for the poorest residents of the state all of those new laws don't make a shred of difference.
The following is how Victor Davis Hansen describes what he saw during his recent tour of the "forgotten areas of central California"....
Many of the rural trailer-house compounds I saw appear to the naked eye no different from what I have seen in the Third World . There is a Caribbean look to the junked cars, electric wires crisscrossing between various outbuildings, plastic tarps substituting for replacement shingles, lean-tos cobbled together as auxiliary housing, pit bulls unleashed, and geese, goats, and chickens roaming around the yards. The public hears about all sorts of tough California regulations that stymie business - rigid zoning laws, strict building codes, constant inspections - but apparently none of that applies out here.
Hansen also says that he observed that people in these areas are doing whatever they can to get by....
At crossroads, peddlers in a counter-California economy sell almost anything. Here is what I noticed at an intersection on the west side last week: shovels, rakes, hoes, gas pumps, lawnmowers, edgers, blowers, jackets, gloves, and caps. The merchandise was all new. I doubt whether in high-tax California sales taxes or income taxes were paid on any of these stop-and-go transactions.
In two supermarkets 50 miles apart, I was the only one in line who did not pay with a social-service plastic card (gone are the days when "food stamps" were embarrassing bulky coupons).
Are you frightened yet?
You know what they say - "as goes California, so goes the nation".
What is happening in California now is eventually going to come to your area.
Right now California is also having a huge problem with gangs. Gang violence in America is getting totally out of control. According to authorities, there are now over 1 million members of criminal gangs operating inside the country, and those gangs are responsible for up to 80% of the violent crimes committed in the U.S. each year.
But instead of ramping up to fight crime and fight illegal immigration, police forces all over California are being cut back.
For example, because of extreme budget cuts and police layoffs, Oakland, California Police Chief Anthony Batts has announced that there are a number of crimes that his department simply will no longer respond to due to a lack of resources. The following is a partial list of the crimes that police officers in Oakland will no longer be responding to....
- burglary
- theft
- embezzlement
- grand theft
- grand theft: dog
- identity theft
- false information to peace officer
- required to register as sex or arson offender
- dump waste or offensive matter
- loud music
- possess forged notes
- pass fictitious check
- obtain money by false voucher
- fraudulent use of access cards
- stolen license plate
- embezzlement by an employee
- extortion
- attempted extortion
- false personification of other
- injure telephone/power line
- interfere with power line
- unauthorized cable tv connection
- vandalism
Not that Oakland wasn't already a mess before all this, but now how long do you think it will be before total chaos and anarchy reigns on the streets of Oakland?
Today, Oakland is considered the 5th most violent city in the United States.
Will it soon become the most violent?
But Oakland is not the only major California city that is facing these kinds of issues.
Things have gotten so bad in Stockton, California that the police union put up a billboard with the following message: "Welcome to the 2nd most dangerous city in California. Stop laying off cops."
Already the police force in Stockton has been stripped down to almost nothing.
A while back, the Stockton Police Department dropped this bombshell....
"We absolutely do not have any narcotics officers, narcotics sergeants working any kind of investigative narcotics type cases at this point in time."
Do you think drug dealers will be flocking to Stockton after they hear that?
California was once the envy of the world.
Now it is becoming one gigantic hellhole.
During one recent 23 year period, the state of California built 23 prisons but just one university.
So is there any hope for California?
No, unfortunately there is not.
In another article, I wrote about some of the reasons why millions of people have been leaving California for good....
Meanwhile, the standard of living in California is going right into the toilet. Housing values are plummeting. Unemployment has risen above 20 percent in many areas of the state. Crime and gang activity is on the rise even as police budgets are being hacked to the bone. The health care system is an absolute disaster. At this point California has the fewest emergency rooms per million people out of all 50 states. While all of this has been going on, the state legislature in Sacramento has been very busy passing hundreds of new laws that are mostly about promoting one radical agenda or another. The state government has become so radically anti-business that it is a wonder that any businesses have remained in the state. It seems like the moving vans never stop as an endless parade of businesses and families leave California as quickly as they can.
But this is not just a "California thing". The truth is that what is happening in California, in Detroit, in Camden and in hundreds of other communities is also going to happen where you live.
The U.S. economy is slowly dying. Only 66.8% of American men had a job last year. That was the lowest level that has ever been recorded in U.S. history.
People are getting desperate. There are ten percent fewer middle class jobs than there were a decade ago and the competition for good jobs has become insane. More than 44 million Americans are now on food stamps and that number grows every single month. Millions more American families fall into poverty every single year.
It is time to face the truth about what is happening to America. Our economy is not growing and becoming stronger. Rather, the cold, hard reality of the matter is that our economy is very sick and it is dying. The seemingly boundless prosperity that we have enjoyed for decade after decade is coming to an end. Our communities are being transformed into absolute hellholes.
Those that are telling you that the U.S. economy will soon be better than ever are lying to you. The U.S. economy is going to go down and it is going to go down hard.
You better get ready.
$700,000,000,000 “defense” budget, way past lunacy. You wonder why? This is what will happen to reckless spenders.

Mickythepirate – GREAT attitude! If your wife is a “doctor” – why don’t you go you her county? If America’s so horrid – and it wasn’t always – then go THERE. The illegal invading vermin, and the legal ones a well, are ONLY here to grab what thyew can get. Foriegn doctors are money-grubbing TRASH, with specious degrees. So LEAVE.
Detroit, New Orleans, D.C., Oakland, L.A….ALL run by Democrats for many, many years…left Baltimore 10 years ago, also run by Democrats. This is the end result of socialism: dependency on government welfare, destruction of personal responsibility, autonomy, illegal immigration, corruption and fraud and massive waste. Democrats love to grow the size of government via welfare to keep their voter rolls going. Democrats are responsible for the destruction of cities and human beings.
KingCarl you’re an idiot. Once Ronny the Great fired the air traffic controllers(a good move, but…) he set the stage for the END GAME. Corporations used the move to reduce common men to slaves.
So in essence, it didn’t matter what Carter did. Ike had it right, the expansion of the military industrial complex (and the blood sucking corporate criminal class) were the ones to watch.
All this bull**** about political parties serves to exploit the IDIOTS of America. Dogma is used to divide.
Witness that Mr. Kenyan (or Thai, or whatever Obama is) has at his faculty the very tool liberals feared: the Patriot act. Barry could arrest you tomorrow “Carl” and you’d vanish unnoticed.
I am sovereign (as are all on this planet). There are those who want my forced servitude, and use Republicans and Democrats to enslave me. The beauty of our slipping system is EVERYONE CAN LIVE WHERE THEIR BELIEFS ARE REINFORCED THE MOST. Since you hate commies “Carl”, live where that opinion thrives.
If you want this country to be conservative only, take it over. Otherwise take your stupid political views and shut the **** up. You’re getting in the way, and distracting people. *********************************************
You’re the reason the world hates America in the first place. I hate commies to, but I especially hate neoconservatives. You will rot in hell for the damage you’ve wrought to the planet.
hell yes! bravo!
Yeh I have to agree with the MAD MAX scenario. I will be a scrounger for sure. Stocking up on necessities for trade and to help the needy. I realize I can brush my teeth with less than 4 ounces of water. Will need to learn how to cut many corners in the future.
Wow.
I live on the Gulf Coast of Alabama.
I don’t get it. All I see are high rise condos and republican tourists getting drunk in the bars.
Hardly a Hell Hole pal.
The reality is agenda 21
where you live now you won’t be living soon
You will all be stacked and packed into a few big cities the rest of the nation the vast majority will be off limits to the people.
IF anyone doubts this you will soon fimd that it is the truth
IT’S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT
I think important issues like NAFTA should be decided by the people, not by a few crooks in Washington. That is one reason our country is screwed up! As for our spoiled population, too many people retire in their 50′s, most people could work until 62 and they would be an asset instead of a liability.
I grew up in Camden, and THIS IS THE PLAN THE MASTERS HAVE FOR THE REST OF AMERICA. To those who are religious (god will bring plague to America as he did Camden.)
You ignored Camden for so long it’s coming to your Clean White Middile American town.
Middle Americans in suburbs and rural areas leave their doors uncloked at night still. It used to be like that in Camden in the 50s.
The Big cities all over America will be DETROITS!!
I live in California and I and my family are perfectly fine. I agree that the nation and CA are going to hell, but this article is a tad over the top. Plus, it totally leaves out self-sufficient communities and small towns in CA that have tons of clean groundwater and farmland open for the taking. We’ll survive when things get bad enough because we’ll all go off the grid. The cities are what’s doomed here.
As bad as some of these cities and states have become, it’s still a better place to live than the majority of other countries.
Unfortunately, that will change as the Dollar and U.S. economy collapses, so people need to prepare and learn urban survival secrets for surviving terrorist attacks, natural disasters and pandemics!
The Survive In Place Urban Survival Guide is the best training I’ve found to help you plan and prepare.
The men who really run America keep us busy watching American Idol while they steal our American Dream.
the puppetmastas finally got us.
As a Swedish citizen I must comment on the comparison of US against Sweden.
Our level of education is falling, disorder have taken over many schools.
We have no military capacity.
Police do not care or do not solve many crimes directed against common people.
Organize foreign crime has established them self in both black market and regular market sectors.
Things worsen all the time.
Hi,
I am from Sweden, and of course we have our share of problems as well. (I travel very frequently to US in my job so I know a bit about US as well)
To sumarize Swedens situation right now:
Yes, Swedish economy is doing well, and the reason is mainly that we export more than we import so it is an Ok balance (Our industry has products that the emerging markets like china and Brazil need and cannot make themselves). We have also been helped by the fact that the commodities that we export (iron and wood) has been OK for export.
The unemplyment rate 8,5% that we have is mainly due to poor matching, ie there is a lot of free jobs for those with the right skills but we have unemployed people who are not skilled or educated for these jobs. (Volvo announced last week that they want to hire 2000 new people)
Yes, we have a socilised medicine, similar to the UK system. It works fairly well although there might be waiting lists. Doctors salary is 2-3 times a nurse salary which is a much smaller difference than in the US so our doctors does not make as much money as in the US.
Yes, we have a litte bit of the same trend as in the US with: increased criminal gangs, corrupt politicians, greedy financial elite, but it is at a controlled level from an international point of view. It has to be a continous fight against such things. Our democracy works OK. The elections is mainly around the political debate. Money and sponsored campains plays basically no role in our elections, so noone can buy or sponsor themselves into poswer, it would not be accepted. The influence of money and sponsoring of campains in the US elections is a risk for your democracy. Your demnocracy and constitution has historically been very important to also the rest of the world, so take good care of it.
Have a nice day!
I’m also from Sweden like some of the previous commenters. I agree about the decline here in Sweden, even though the country as whole is doing well. I sincerely hope it doesn’t get as in the cities mentioned in the article. Frightening but interesting facts anyway…
This is another reason for secession, as these cities will then be eligible for foreign aid. I bet they all wish they recived as much foreign aid as Israel.
It will keep getting worse until a police state is implemented under Martial Law. At that point, the “culling of the herd” will take place. Military, police, armed civilian militias, will be at war with the huge numbers of former welfare class citizens (the social safety net will have disintegrated). Small town America will pull together, and harsh punishment (vigilante justice) will be meted out on gang-bangers, drug dealers, pedophiles and other miscreants the social service sector now protects for their own self-serving interests.
As for the cities. They will burn. The southern border will be militarized zone.
A terror attack (WMD) will occur, and it will be determined the weapon was smuggled in from Mexico. The US military will take on the Cartels at that point. This could be a false flag attack.
Americans still have tremendous respect for the military. Most of us are sick to death of criminals and bums. Tens of thousands of criminals, illegal aliens, gangsters and the like will simply disappear; victims of an angry armed populace and a police state. In the meantime, lurid violence will ensue.
Look at this and maybe see that this is also applicable in the great US of A.
Kindly make special reference to following:
1. Who “disadvantaged” the ‘black’ people of the interior Southern Africa before the (supposed) belligerent ‘white’ settlers moved inland in the mid 19th century..? As certainly, what the ‘settlers’ found was not a hugely advanced infrastructure-, deep mines-, airports-, vast libraries of written works-, grandiose institutions of learning-, etc. No, as little as 170 years ago they found masses of black people (indigenous to the Southern tip of Africa ) living on the fringes of the stone age. Beings in skins, wielding sticks, living primitive dwellings, dragging- and carrying things around, who had not even heard of the wheel yet.
2. Ethiopia – a country that was NEVER colonised. Today one of the most desolate places on the planet – who “disadvantaged” the people of Ethiopia ..?
3. Put Zimbabwe and Germany next to each other and please explain the differences. In 1945 Germany was (for all intents and purposes) flattened to ground and torn in half. Fifteen years later, West Germany was described as an “Economic Wonder”. Around the same time as the end of Apartheid , Germany was re-unified. It yanked the (unified) Germany back four centuries in time. Yet, in (around) fifteen years (for the second time a few decades) it built an ‘economic wonder’ – today, fast becoming a global leader in almost every aspect. Reminder: a lineage very strongly associated with… WHITE AFRIKAANS SPEAKING people… One the the ‘flip side’ – Zimbabwe – was handed one of the wealthiest countries in the WORLD (eg a currency that was worth more than the USA Dollar, etc) – what is it today..? Competing with Ethiopia to be the most desolate hell-hole on the planet..? Please explain…
In parting, I would suggest the following,
- The term “Previously Disadvantaged’ is as much a fantasy, as is the delusional lunacy that threatens voters with the revenge of the ancestors (a bit like the “rapture” we are all eagerly awaiting, for the 4 017.75th time since 2000 alone…), the same delusional inanity that claims the words “KILL THE BOER” really, actually means – “come over to my mansion for tea and cookies”…
- You cannot take something from somebody WHO NEVER HAD IT..! In fact, what is it that white people, specifically white men, supposed to “give back” to black people..? Can someone PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE explain to me what it is that white men took from blacks?
— LAND..? Blacks NEVER owned any land. Any form of formal ownership is a Western concept. The ‘black’ tribes of the mid 19th century haphazardly SETTLED in an ad hoc manner – effectively governed by tribal savagery – iow the most savage ruled the land (a bit like Hillbrow today). They simply ran away until they could not run anymore – not having ANY grasp of the concept of a horizon or for that matter any measure of finite land mass – eg the boundaries – that is the fundamental concept of ownership.
— MINERALS..? More hallucinations aside – eg ancient gold mines… – a little bit like the Zimbabwe Ruins (the Pyramids, etc) – next to the magnificent structure, the indigenous people build stone-age dwellings out of dirt and sticks (at best emulating the birds). Minerals beneficiation is an entirely Imperialist/Western concept – in fact, in many ways it saw some of the most tangible advances, by WHITE SOUTH AFRICAN MEN – just peruse some of the academic paper at Wits’ Engineering Library.
— WEALTH..? Money-, Capital- and the pivotal mechanisms of the wealth that allows you to breath, eat, have children, live a rather healthy productive and fulfilling live, but also allowed the cognitive development that leads you to make your daft comments here – it is ALL of Western origins. In fact, the key advancements in modern finance- and economics were made by the… ….DUTCH. Why do you think it is called ‘Wall Street’..? It was initially ‘Wal Straat’ – yes my dear, the Dutch took their cognitive substance there as well… The same Dutch that were the most direct decedents of the people that landed at the Cape in 1650 – in fact, the modern ‘WEALTH system’ was originated by the Dutch and it funded the explorations around the tip of Africa .
— Perhaps we took their aeroplanes-, their Breitling watches, their Italian Suits, or their German luxury limousines, their ‘Blue Light Brigades’ or perhaps their Space Shuttles..? Mmmm… I just hate the implicit assumption that ‘white’ stole from ‘blacks’…
Refresh my memory if you will.
Exactly how many “cries for help” were received from Africa as a result of all of this “misery” that was being experienced?
See that’s the problem with your ilk. Somewhere along the line Western civilization got it into its head that everybody else was just sitting around wallowing in idiocy and subconsciously waiting for White imperialists to sail up and show them what they were too stupid to realize they were supposed to have had all along.
Get this through your skull. Nobody who can walk everywhere they need to go envies those with an airplane. Nobody who minded their own business and had a local culture in Africa laid awake at night wishing they had a library full of books to tell them what Europeans did with their time, or how to make gunpowder to shoot at others. That way they lived that you find so “demeaning”? They were fine with it from the beginning of civilization onwards. It worked for them, and made them the oldest civilization on the planet. Maybe if the “civilized” Western world spent less time shoving each other into iron maidens, burning each other for Witchcraft, sleeping with family members to keep the royalty in the family, and other such “civilized” pursuits, they’d have done enough understanding of different cultures to avoid having to sail over and shove their own down everyone’s throats at gunpoint.
GTFO yourself. The portions of the world that define their own worth on who they are and do rather than what they ride around town in and what they’re wearing while they ride have never had any need for the trappings you think you’ve gifted them with. And in the final analysis, the only “gift” the Western world has given that will matter will be the near certainty of violent annihilation and a largely uninhabitable planet. Really. You shouldn’t have.
Just drove through Stockton last month. Up on to Lodi next door visiting Grandma-ma. I didn’t see the wheels coming off of the bus!
CA itself was once the 7th strongest economy in the world! CA itself a few years ago was responsible for 20% of all federal income tax collected. Yup, we got lots of illegals, drugs, junkies, welfare recipeints, stupid cops, bozo legislators and a very corrupt State government. But by golly, we also have Orange County, San Diego, Disneyland, Sea World, the Angels, desperate houswives, In-n-Out burger, Del Taco, Hollywood idiots/celebrities and plenty of sunshine! I live in white bread town, Mission Viejo. I grew up in Lake Forest which was El Toro at the time. Only thing I have noticed is lots more Mexicans standing on street corners looking for day labor work than there used to be. Also more authentic, cheap Mexican restaurants opening up, and a lot more Mexi-mamas walking their babies in their strollers down El Toro Road. Guess who pays for their beans and salsa? The white bread town citizens that’s who silly.
If 1 million criminals are causing 80% of the crime, bring in the army and shoot them !!If the stats say in a case like that 10% of the assumed criminals are innocent, such is the price of getting rid of the 90% scumbags….
Amen. Our ancestors understood this. Eliminating the violently unfit with extreme prejudice was necessary to create civilization. We will need to practice it again, if we are to preserve it.
Most likely, this cull will or will not occur at the community level when the SHTF. I will make my stand at the California-Arizona border as the locusts come shrieking across the plains.
Why is the US disintegrating – along with the rest of the world?
The answer has to do with Natural Law. These laws are impossible to break. This means that no matter how many people wish it were not so, no matter how many laws are enacted against them, and no matter how many vote against them, Natural Laws cannot and will not be broken.
The Second Natural Law is also known as the Law of Unintended Consequences.
This means that every action has a consequence that either was not foreseen and/or was not intended. There are no exceptions.
A case in point are man-made laws against so-called illegal aliens.
These laws make it difficult if not impossible for some people to find work.
It makes it difficult if not impossible for companies to find people willing to work for the lowest wage.
These two things together will result in high unemployment, which means more crime, and also higher prices.
Higher prices because how many people who are now unemployed are willing to pick lettuce in the hot California sun? It does pay almost $9 an hour. Sound good?
If you’re not willing to do that, then why not let someone do it who is willing to pick for that price.
If not, you have three options.
1. Pay a higher price at the market. You may be willing to do that, but tell that to the poverty-stricken mother who must choose between food and gas, food and childcare, or food and medicine.
2. Drive the California farmer out of business, and just import lettuce. That won’t lower the price of lettuce – in fact it will probably be even higher – but at least you won’t have ‘illegals’ picking lettuce for you anymore.
3. Don’t eat lettuce at all – ever again.
In addition to higher prices, higher unemployment and higher crime, you will also have higher taxes. This is because there are fewer people paying taxes, and more services needed.
Even if you got rid of social services – and especially if you did – you would need more police and more jails, more fire fighters, ambulances, and more hospitals, and still more taxes.
In short, we reap what we sow, and while it’s easy and convenient to blame our employment situation on someone else, it all comes down to how we treat each other.
We’re doing it to ourselves, and this is the natural response of Natural Law.
We can continue to deny reality, or we can face up to it and start making life better for everyone – including us.
Peace to the planet.
Lazy people should get back to work. There are plenty of jobs out there. The Army has been on a hiring spree for the last 10 years at least. New positions become available almost daily. If you think you can’t qualify for the Army, the Marine Corps will take anybody who is gung ho. Just say to recruiter “I want to kill!” After a couple tours of combat in foreign lands, when you come home to Detroit or Camden you will be the king of the hill.
What took over 200 years to build up the American empire, takes just thirty years to tear it down. The bigger they are the harder they fall. The end of the fall hasn`t happened yet,its like a train wreck in slow motion,not a random event ,but a deliberate act of treason.
Okay, in California, the government bozos (BOTH PARTIES) in Sacramento are totally ignoring ILLEGAL ALIENS or even continue to support them.
GIL CEDILLO is at it again, (trying to give drivers licences) to illegal aliens.
RICHMOND is strongly considering giving special MUNICIPAL ID CARDS to the (“Undocumented”) aka Illegal aliens, so they can have an “easier way to gain access to services.”
OAKLAND is close to dispensing these cards and SAN FRANCISCO already has them.
CA also provides a lot of foreign language material (especially Spanish) and the government and businesses are very eager to provide the Spanish language as well as the media (in all its forms).
SAN JOSE: Mayor CHUCK REED and the San Jose City Council were going to boybott Arizona (for actually daring to enforce immigration laws).
Mayor CHUCK REED has called for a “Fiscal Emergency” a couple of times and he went on KLIV RADIO for a (Monday Town Meeting). I called the radio station and asked why he was ignoring the ILLEGAL ALIEN PROBLEM. I got laughed at and dismissed by both the Radio person handling the call and CHUCK REED.
Now, ILLEGAL ALIENS are NOT the sole reason why CA is in such bad shape. The BANKSTERS played a major role in deliberately causing the Housing Bubble and Derivatives Fiasco.
VISA WORKERS: The Biz world and CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE constantly call to bring in as many VISA WORKERS as possible and this view is shared across this nation. (These people have NO loyalty to this nation or its legal citizens).
CARL GUARDINO of the SILICON VALLEY LEADERSHIP GROUP (along with some of his business groupies) have mentioned this many times on KLIV RADIO.
Q: We have millions of unemployed or underemployed Legal USA citizens, and yet they demand to bring in MORE VISA WORKERS.
DEINDUSTRIALIZED: We’ve also been seriously deindustrialized in CA and across this nation.
SOLUTION to Outsourcing, Offshoring and hiring of Visa workers and Illegal aliens: CUT OFF ALL TAX BREAKS to all participating businesses who engage in this behavior. Use TARRIFS! Other nations do this, so should we.
End the disasterous Trade policies of NAFTA, CAFTA, GATT and the WTO.
Finally, for the either extremely stupid or extremely evil politicians of (BOTH PARTIES): Each time YOU blather about jobs, I hear YOU mention absolutely NOTHING about any of the issues I mentioned!
Many citizens probably share my view point and are disgusted with how YOU have handled our economy and have done absolutely nothing to fix it and (yet YOU Unredeemable, WORTHLESS CREATURES have no problem giving yourselves raises and receiving taxpayer-provided perks)!
Q: MEXICAN TRUCKERS NOW ALLOWED TO DRIVE THROUGHOUT THE USA. (This was passed recently). Gee, our politicians are really “concerned” about jobs and Safety, aren’t they? Oh wait, that would be jobs for Mexicans AND…..NAPOLITANO can continue to leave our borders unsecured and our immigration laws remain unenforced while NAPOLITANO continues to look for TERRORISTS in adult-baby diapers and down our pants!
Q: USA POLITIANS (all levels).
WHERE’S the loyalty and INTEGRITY of USA POLITICIANS across this nation??!?
Where are the CIVIL RIGHTS OF LEGAL USA CITIZENS? It’s time to start “representing” USA Citizens and send the ILLEGAL ALIENS packing! Why do they still remain here?
Reason: It’s because these wicked and treasonous USA politicians refuse to do right by their citizens! That’s why.
To make the economy even worse, there is AGENDA 21 and the U.N. If there is any industry left, they want that gone. They want to tax the very air you breathe and beware of those SMART METERS-GRIDS. They are for the purpose of CONTROL and RATIONING and nothing else.
AGENDA 21 also wants most people removed from most of the land in the USA and crammed into certain cities and of course, let’s not forget the Value-Added Tax.
WEATHER MANIPULATION via Chem Trails and H.A.A.R.P. (I think is also part of AGENDA 21) and the recent rash of destructive tornadoes that clobbered the E. USA was NOT an act of nature. (I could be wrong, but I’m very suspicous of this).
There’s also a plan for an upcoming GLOBAL GOVERNMENT and supposedly, the plan is for NO MIDDLE CLASS and that’s why the USA economy must be destroyed intentionally.
Many of our politicians are NOT loyal to this nation and belong to or have attended treasonous organizations like the: CFR (Council on Foreign Relations), the Trilateral Commssion, some belong to the Skull-Bones Society, Freemaonry,
I blame everything on Ronald Reagan and the republicans for putting in place NAFTA. Before they did this I was working in a factory in Mexico making a decent wage. We didn’t need to go anywhere to feed ourselves. We were proud of the fact that we were developing different aerospace parts in conjunction with a German company. Then Ronald Reagen and his people the ones that pull the strings came over and bought off the politicians on this side of the border and then you had this as a result. This I believe has been planned and it is working well for them they envision chaos and of course they have the answer to the problem. They want complete control over all and everything. Nothing but badness ahead for all involved and still we have people with the heads in the sand who do not see what is happening and continue to blame other working people who wanted nothing else than to be left alone to live on their own merit and not look for a handout.
Lucille Rothstein wants us to blame Reagan and republicans for NAFTA.
This is one of the problems afflicting us right now, our inability to recall history.
Clinton Signed NAFTA into law.
Anyone who believes NAFTA was a partisan “shaft” isn’t paying attention. The first thing people need to do is learn history, and then like Lucille mentions, pull your head out.

Yes… and no.
Following diplomatic negotiations dating back to 1986 among the three nations, the leaders met in San Antonio, Texas, on December 17, 1992, to sign NAFTA. U.S. President George H. W. Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Mexican President Carlos Salinas, each responsible for spearheading and promoting the agreement, ceremonially signed it. The agreement then needed to be ratified by each nation’s legislative or parliamentary branch.
Before the negotiations were finalized, Bill Clinton came into office in the U.S. and Kim Campbell in Canada, and before the agreement became law, Jean Chrétien had taken office in Canada.

Nafta, signed by Clinton, passed to him by republican congress. Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act same thing. The 2 headed hyrda fools so many.
You yanks just dont get it do you, the rest of the world is laughing at you, and rubbing their hands together with glee to see you suffering.
you have been living in a fantasy world, now you are paying the bill.
HAHAHHHAHA
Suffer in your jocks.
This has all been planned
this article merely keeps the planners (Illuminati) updated with reports from street level

the inquisition will begin again and instead of freedom of religion, its just freedom in general.
Could this sad story be balanced with good news? Considering in July 6 2011 the jobs created were about 18,000 and NOT the 100,000 expected by many economists, it again shows that the destruction of American economy — and more importantly its JudeoChristian morals and values — is a planned event.
At what point do Americans arm themselves and take to the streets or to sniping as in Belfast or Brazil or Nazi Germany. Sound conspiracy related. NOT ONE BIT. Think about it.
In my community I personally know a hand full of small time millionaires. These people are businessmen who care about their community and employees. I am a union carpenter. My carpenters union didn’t put any of my employers out of business, actually they became very wealthy. I don’t know a single union man who objects to a rich employer.
Our problem is the Reagan trickle down nonsense. A thousand years ago who were the masters? Were they not the owners of the land, owners of production and owners of the resources? They didn’t want to pay anyone then and they don’t want to pay anyone today. That’s why they moved jobs out of this country. Remember it used to be said: if it’s good for America it’s good for business and if it is good for Americans it’s good for business. This principle has been turned upside down my our masters.
Over the past one-hundred years Americans created a lot of wealth. I think it was Ted Turner who once said to his United Nations buddies “Americans are the stupidest people; all they want to do is go to the show and have a coke”. While Americans weren’t paying attention, our masters outsourced our jobs. We were tricked into believing we were going to get better jobs. Now they “The Money Masters” are in the process of bleeding off that wealth.
For the union haters, if America is better off without unions than we should see the evidence to support that somewhere else in the world, like South America, Mexico, Africa, China, etc. Show me. You nonunion guys are hypocrites. When you look for a job do you tell your employer: I don’t want no overtime, no 8 hour day, no 40 hour week, no sick time off, no holidays off. I just want to work from sun up to sun down 7 days a week. I only want minimum wage because the government won’t let me get less. I bet you don’t.
There shouldn’t be any hellholes in America.
Something’s gone terribly wrong to have American hellholes.
unless it’s by choice
When tax rates on the “rich” were at 50-60% America boomed, because the rich worked hard to BE rich. Now the Repukes have pushed rates down on the “rich” and America is dying.
When tax rates on the “rich” were at 50-60+% America boomed, because the rich worked hard to BE rich. Now the Repukes have pushed rates down on the “rich” and America is dying. What is with this idea that cutting taxes (giving money to) for RICH people is moral, but giving unemployment (giving money to) to WORKING CLASS people is immoral? Giving RICH people MORE of what they already HAVE (money) is GOOD, but giving POOR people what they DO NOT HAVE (money) is BAD? What COMMUNIST came up with that? Please explain to me why RICH people have to be given MORE so they will have “incentive” to work, but POOR people have to have their wages/money CUT in order to –have incentive to work? LESS then 46% of Americans have jobs!!! LESS then 46%!!!!
The wealthiest 1% of all Americans now own more than a third of all the wealth in the United States.
The poorest 50% of all Americans collectively own just 2.5% of all the wealth in the United States.
Don’t know where to begin other than saying I was born in Sacramento. Good luck Jerry Brown as your legacy, your fathers, Arnolds, and a few others have done well doing the in and out to the people. Good bye Nancy, Diane, and Barbara with the rest of you liberals. Cast your vote by moving! Just rename California to New Michigan.
Good luck trying to get treated at a hospital without having health insurance
Have you been to New Orleans lately mr. author?
We could never sustain the way we lived in the 20th century. We won’t be able to now. Our boundless prosperity is, indeed, over. And with climate change, food may become very scarce indeed. Check out http://www.greatwavesofchange.org.
I’m not sure what’s more sad. This article (very excellent by the way) or the comments about it. Clearly there are people that still don’t get it. There has been an all out assault on jobs in this country, by the US government. They continually make it harder and harder for businessmen to create successful businesses, which require more employees, which puts everyone back to work. Increasing a businesses tax burden only makes them want to leave or quit. You can only tax people to the point where they won’t take it anymore and then they find a way to revolt. Businesses are the same. Congress has been making laws every day for 200+ years. It’s so restrictive it kills any growth at all.
No sir, if you want America to turn around, you need jobs, not handouts, which is all that taxing the rich will get you.
15 manufacturing companies are closing in the US….per day
Socialism was going to kill the US economy anyway,but Obama accelerated the process. After complete destruction, fools will stop talking about the 1%. The 1% of the population is actually the savior for the other 99%. Destroy the 1%, and you will have destroyed the entire 100%. Go read Ayn Rand. Only her principles can save USA. Not jokers like Obama and Bernanke.
“Socialism was going to kill the US economy anyway…”
What socialism? The big bank bailouts, the Wall Street bailouts. That’s socialism for the rich – there is no socialism for the rest, for Main Street. As for Obama – where have you been lately? Obama is pro-Wall Street, Pro Big Banking, that’s where all his friends are. Why anyone thinks he’s a socialist is incredible.
Duh. It’s Cultural Marxism meets Economic Fascism. Has been since at least the mid-60′s.
If you work for a living, your wealth gets redistributed to the non-working in the name of “Equality” & “Social Justice.”
If you’re the owning elite, you cartelize industry and capture regulators to destroy competition using the State itself as your weapon.
this is nothing in the late 89′s early 90′s nyc had nearly 2000 homiciodes 1 year!
Just last night, my wife came in contact with a latino man from Langley Park that asked for some money and produced a knife. The guy said, “I know that your romeo work for 9News and I blow up the station and your home” and I pulled out my cellphone to call police but the latino man got into his car and sped off. I couldn’t get a good enough look at his license plate since it was rather dark. I am glad that we are safe. This is just how trashy the area of Langley Park is due to high crime and graffitti written on even street signs let alone walls of apartment buildings.

I agree that Democrats have ruined many cities including Camden via stealing taxpayer and lining their own pockets. Gov. Christie cutoff Camden from the endless state funding since it was obvious that the Dems in Camden were not even attempting to restore the tax base and/or fix problems. 70% of Camden needs to be bulldozed and 100% of the politicians in Camden City Hall need to be prosecuted. Philadelphians are allowing to let the city go down by continuing to elect liberal Democrats who promise to fix things but never do anything but steal from the taxpayers.
Dave Bing was a great guard at Syracuse University and the NBA. If he can’t get this job done as mayor of Detroit he can always become La Salle’s Basketball Coach. He would need to recruit a couple of big men immediately.
Bing has a better chance of turning Detroit around than resurrecting La Salle basketball.
