Now All of America Can Be More Like Chicago
The US economy is still missing about 4 million jobs from before Obama took office, and the country seems to be slipping into a new recession -- before it ever truly escaped the last one, in any meaningful sense. The nation is 4 years older and $6 billion deeper in debt -- and already owes its soul to the company store holders of US government debt.
And yet, the next Obama term as US president is likely to see nationwide corruption financed by deficit spending at an unprecedented scale. Expect to see massive federal bailouts and handouts for groups, industries, activist organisations, and profligate state and local governments. The common denominator of the recipients of the coming repeat explosion of deficit spending largesse is that they will all have supported Obama's re-election in a big way.
A great scam if you are a true and complete scum.

President Obama’s re-election... marks the massive endorsement of an expanding crony capitalism that ultimately could reshape the already troubled American economic system beyond recognition.Now that Obama doesn't need to worry about re-election, he can pull out all the stops to make sure he and his cronies never have to worry about money again -- all at taxpayer's expense.
...The federal government and its expanding bureaucracy — another big winner tonight — seems likely to issue Draconian edicts on greenhouse gas, now that the election is over. The whole coal industry is about to get savaged by new regulations and pressure is mounting to regulate fracking as well. Destroying the competition may be the one way to bail out the “green” crony capitalists.
Other crony capitalists could also benefit form the new regulatory assault: the rise essentially of national zoning. Backed by EPA and HUD, urban land speculators could see their suburban competitors regulated — as is already the case in California — into oblivion. Regions could find themselves obliged to built often expensive, and in some cases, wildly inappropriate transit system. This will benefit not only unions, who will build and operate these systems, but companies like Siemens who push for greater rail expansions at the expense of maintaining and improving such critical infrastructure as roads.
Ultimately the biggest winners may be those who finance municipal and state debt. Owing his election to the fiscal failures of New York, Illinois and California, Obama could have to use his executive power to forestall looming bankruptcies at the local and even state level. Ironically the biggest winner here in the crony capitalist sweepstakes will be firms like Goldman Sachs, who turned so vehemently against Obama, but have historically made much of their money on financing government operations. _NewGeography

Color above Country!
No, not colour. Crony power above everything! People who fixate too much on colour often go off the deep end eventually. None of us want to see that happening to anyone we care about.
What, pray tell, would you prefer that white men focus on besides color?
Shall we focus on winning on the basis of good conservative arguments for limited government, free markets, low taxes, individual responsibility?
The black and brown population of America largely does not want those things. They want socialism, because socialism hands them white men's money - a level of prosperity they could not win in a legitimate free market, competing against white men. The best bet for brown and black men is to get control of the government of a white country and exploit the white population economically, while persecuting them for the satsifaction of "revenge".
White Americans need a country for ourselves if we are to have the best lives we can have in this world. A country where we are a shrinking minority is not going to work for us.
So, again, what should we focus on rather than race?
If you are serious about your grand plan, you are going about it the wrong way. But you will have to work that out for yourself.
In the modern age, the most dynamic country is going to be made up of the most dynamic, skilled, competent, and creative people. And there is no single ethnic group that has a monopoly on such people.
Personally, I would rather target the corrupt internetwork of groups and institutions that parasitise and manipulate virtually the entire population. That would seem a more satisfying approach to me.
But if you want to build a nation, start by building a community, a town, or a county. If you can't do that, you haven't a prayer doing anything grander.
Al, I agree with you to some extent; however, the brown and black members of society voted for Obama 75% and 95% respectively. It's ALL about race to them. If whites had voted with a similar margin for Romney he would have won. But the didn't - they are more 'fairer', they voted 59% for Romney. Historically pretty high, but not enough to win it for Romney. So, you have the majority of brown and black voters voting for the black person in the White House who promised them free stuff. This does not bode well for America's future. Add to that the dumbing down and liberal slant of education of the youth and America is heading for disaster. In 1980 there were 88% whites - today it's down to 72%. Another 20-odd years and whites will be under 50%. Another 100 years and they'll be extinct. So if you think this is not about race then I have a bridge to sell you. If you think that black and brown people will have their 'ah-ha' moment about the economy, think again. I have lived in South Africa where the ANC black government has corrupted the country over the last 18 years and still 90% of blacks vote for them again and again. That's how they vote. Whites don't - hence why we have given up our western countries to everybody with a sob story instead of preserving what we've built up. India has remained Indian. China has remained Chinese - yet every western country has been infiltrated by third-world people and so you will eventually live as a third-world nation. You do come across as a touch naive sometimes...
I agree with both of you. Cronyism and racial arguments both apply to what we are seeing. I think I just read on another blog that 10% of blacks voted for Romney. I am betting those are the Christian blacks who actually have a moral understanding of society and economics. The rest of them simply don't care as long as they get Obamaphones and subsidized housing. And that leads us back to the cronyism argument because the Sustainable Communities Initiative from the EPA, HUD, DOE, DOT, et all, are doing nothing but funneling our borrowed tax dollars into those subsidies for the inner city blacks, plus growing their dependency populations. (Using the GREEN scam to do it.) Same with the Hispanics...all above applies to them as well. So...not looking too great out here for the rest of us. Double down for 4 more years...and I think that should do it. End of America as we knew it.
Folks, the next decades are going to be, at root, about the "waking up" of various fractions of the white population to what is going on. It's going to be about white people figuring out that no matter how strongly they may feel about this or that social or fiscal issue, when whites have to live as minorities in a non-white country the ramifications of that for their quality of life trump everything else in importance.
Those whites who think that fiscal issues are the most important thing will discover that a brown/black America provides no fair opportunity for a white man to prosper.
Those whites who think that the right to have abortions or the need to ban abortions is the most important thing are going to discover that in a brown/black America it's very hard to raise a white child safely whether that child comes by choice or not.
Those whites who think that environmental concerns and global warming are the most important issue are going to find that it's hard to enjoy nature when you are living in poverty as a white minority in a brown/black neighborhood. They're going to discover that a brown/black-run government doesn't give two shits about the environment except as a way to run scams on the dwindling population of whites who care about it.
Those whites who think that encouraging the emigration of high-functioning non-whites is the most important thing are going to discover that a brown/black-run country doesn't attract anyone competent, and that is was only because America was a white country run by white men that it was an attractive place for competent non-whites to move. They are going to discover that it is only whites who look past race, and that the high-functioning Indians, Chinese, and others who they encourage to move here have no intention of assimilating into a brown/black country, but rather intend to colonize increasingly larger portions of it with their own people and to control through corruption those who are not their co-ethnics.
That's what the next couple decades are going to be about: the scales falling from the eyes of idealistic, well-meaning whites who wanted to believe that people of good will could ignore race and everything would turn out ok.
al fin, I don't have to "do" anything for a white country to emerge. I don't have to start trying to convince white people in my town or county to do anything. All I have to do is wait for white people to realize what I've realized: that we have no possibility of reaching our full potential without a country of our own. That we ARE a people, that we have a right to identify with our people, to take action to preserve our people, to make sure our children can flourish.
I don't have to do anything...when a critical mass of white men have woken up to what is happening to them, their self-preservation instincts will take it from there. Just as "Golden Dawn" sprang up in Greece - a country that is overwhelmingly native Greek - similar white nativist organizations will spring up here. And they will be much more strongly motivated than Golden Dawn, because whites will be facing a seriously awful minority status here in a hostile, corrupt brown/black country.
All we need is a critical mass of white men to feel the way I do. (Women's opinions are actually irrelevant, since this is a matter of civilization survival and that is a masculine concern that women are not cut out to fight for.) We don't need all white men to agree; the American Revolution had the support of less than half the colonial population. We just need a large enough percentage of the white male population to wake up...and things will coalesce from there in ways that can't be anticipated now.
I actually feel a sense of peace after this election because now it is clearly (I think) too late for white conservative men (men who want to see their people survive and flourish) to ever achieve their goals through the ballot box. I can stop voting now and stop worrying about election results. Instead I can watch for the signs of other white men waking up to the same thing.
In terms of elections, there is much more going on than ethnicity. A lot of powerful interests had very good reason to lie, cheat, intimidate, threaten, steal, and perhaps kill, to see Obama re-elected.
When the issue is reduced simply to race, the issue is distorted in a way that is not to the advantage of those who are framing the issue in that way. Be very careful.
MM: An interesting scenario and claim. But "things don't just happen" the way you want them to, simply because you can imagine them inside your head. You have to make them happen.
The alternative to making things happen is "magical thinking," indistinguishable from all the world's failed religions and all the fantasies of humans which never actually saw the light of day.
By the time "a critical mass" sees the necessity to break away from the mainstream, it will be too late for them to do so without being annihilated. If you don't set the stage for what you think needs to happen long before it is ready to happen, it simply will not happen.
Al Fin, it doesn't matter if the election was won through lying/cheating/intimidating/threatening/stealing/killing. For one thing, if those methods were used to win an election now, with a 40% non-white population, it's guaranteed they will be used even more as the white fraction of the population shrinks. Speaking broadly, northern European white populations have honest elections. Perhaps northern Asian populations do too. Almost no one else does. A brown/black-run America will not have honest elections anyway, so what difference does it make whether they began stealing elections this year or will have to wait 2 or 4 or 8 years to begin stealing them? What is important is that it is too late for white people to change that within the current governmental framework. We have lost control of the United States of America government and we can never regain it again. That's all we need to know.
Once a white person realizes that, their first reaction seems to be "we're doomed, we're going to be persecuted and suffer and disappear. There's no hope." But that's just because they're making the mistake of conflating the future of the government of the U.S. with the future of white America. White America created that government, and when it becomes obvious (and painful) enough to enough white men that the government is now being used to harm us, we will get rid of it, either by overthrowing it or by secession or perhaps even by a peaceful agreement to separate (though I doubt blacks/browns would ever let us go since they know we are their gravy train).
The reason I know that white men will eventually do something is because we have an instinct to live like any other living thing, and when we see our children suffering in brown/black-run America, when we are unable to earn an honest living, when we are persecuted and discriminated against and murdered (as in South Africa, where only 2% of murders of whites are solved) then we will reach a breaking point where we have nothing left to lose from uprising.
And the good news is that our opposition will be a racially fragmented bunch of civilizational losers who rely on us for their financial support. Our backs will be to the wall because there will be nowhere for us to go - other white countries are threatened as well. Meanwhile our enemies DO have places they can go - the Asians can go back to their Asian homelands, the Mexicans can just drive back across the border to Mexico. Even the blacks could escape back to Africa if they wanted, although Africa is so awful that in extremis blacks would probably accept almost any terms to be allowed to remain in white areas in some fashion.
Al fin, there isn't anything more for me to "do" than I am doing by writing this post. White men need to wake up to the racial realities and understand that we need a country for our people, our families, in order for us to flourish. They won't believe that until things get bad enough. They won't be open to these kinds of arguments until they've seen how bad it gets for them in brown/black America. And at that point, they probably won't even need to read anything to understand it. They will understand it viscerally, like an animal.
There are obstacles and there are things that could stop us from succeeding, but we don't have any alternative. Either we get a country for ourselves at some point or we end up like the American Indians or worse. The good news is that white men are the most fearsome force on earth. The special forces and the competent military brass and soldiers are mostly all white. We've pretty much got all the genetic plusses on our side.
If the situation is as dire as you say, then there is much that needs to be done. Something more efficacious than just rambling on and repeating yourself. Think. Use your imagination. Break out of your nonexistent chains and struggle toward efficacy.
Sitting around the courthouse square playing checkers with other old codgers and "solving all the world's problems" is not going to get done anything that needs to get done, other than to while away the time until the final twilight.
You need to start to work with others on real projects, or think of a better way to have an impact on your own. Stop making excuses, soldier.
Uh, what are you doing, exactly, with this blog? "Rambling on and repeating yourself"? Or are you spreading ideas and making arguments?
I don't know why I can't offer arguments on these subjects without being scolded by you for being an old codger playing checkers on the courthouse square. Is that what you say to everyone who makes an argument that frustrates you? I may do nothing more than make the best arguments I can and make them where they are read on the internet...and if that's all I do, then that's better than nothing and it doesn't warrant your scorn....especially coming from a person who writes a blog, for fuck's sake. You're supposed to understand the power of ideas.
Think about it. Try to get below the text to the subtext -- even deeper if you can.
If you have looked at any of The Dangerous Child Method postings at alfin2101.blogspot.com, you may already understand that a dangerous child is dangerous to the status quo because he can get things done.
Getting things done may well involve making arguments and generating ideas. Karl Marx did alright, in a historical sense, by doing little more than that. That is the path of the intellectual, which can be revolutionary in some cases, if done well. Usually such a revolutionary intellectual will need substantial backing, to get his ideas across to as many influential people as necessary.
But Marx has been distorted and perverted so badly by his modern-day champions, that he himself would happily kill them all if he were alive and capable of doing so. In other words, even well-financed intellectuals who had a revolutionary effect, will have their ideas twisted beyond recognition by opportunistic and criminal elements.
It takes more than words to build something solid. If you are doing the best you can for what you perceive as your cause, then fine. Don't take what I say so seriously. By the time you finish that cookie you're eating, you'll be feeling right as rain.
BTW, the mainstream media, mainstream academia, and mainstream culture, are extremely powerful voices that drown out competing voices financed by billionaires, as if the billionaires did not exist. There is a lot of ideological inertia tied up in the mainstream. Think about how you might do something different, to sidestep that inertia and have an impact.
We have a long way to go, and much to do and to learn.
