Illiteracy is Good for the Economy

Thanks to immigration, there are nearly one million illiterates in Sweden now:

The most recent survey by Statistics Sweden shows there are currently around 780,000 people between the ages of 16 and 65 who are illiterate in Sweden, but this number is soaring.

“Each month, eight to ten illiterate students arrive,” said Rita Sommarkrans, SFI teacher in Västerås, to SVT. She added that if someone can’t read or write, it’s hard for them to find a place, pay their bills, or even book a doctor’s appointment. 

“If this trend continues, we risk having an entire generation of young people who are effectively functionally illiterate,” wrote Minister of Education Johan Pehrson and Minister of School Affairs Lotta Edholm in an introductory article.

Adding an additional year of compulsory schooling isn’t going to help. Barring a Gaza-style ethnic cleansing of Stockholm and its other cities, Swedish society has been permanently dumbed-down in much the same way the USA and other countries mass-invaded by less-intelligent hordes of immigrants have seen a decline in their average IQ of 8-10 points. This is not an effect that can be fixed; one can no more raise a normal European society from its historical norm to Mensa levels than one can raise a society with an average 85-IQ to the level of a normal European society.

The shape of a society, more than anything else, is determined by the average intelligence of the population. So, the dumbing down of Sweden means that its infrastructure, both physical and intellectual, cannot be maintained.

China doesn’t need to invade any other countries in order to rule the world. It will do so by simple virtue of remaining the same mostly-homogeneous Han society that it has been for the last 6,000 years. Clown World’s collapse became inevitable after China refused to accept the foreign elite that planned to leave the USA in 2015; now all China has to do to ensure its global dominance is play a long game watching the West descend into relative retardery and barbarism.

The free movement of peoples is one of the most destructive philosophies ever conceived. In time, it may prove to be as terrible as communism, or perhaps even feminism.

They Hate You

They REALLY hate you. For decades, I’ve been telling everyone that the USA hates America and heritage Americans. $35.7 billion for the Kiev and Tel Aviv regimes this year alone, and less than nothing for Americans in need. And only now are some people starting to believe me.

From SG: Remember that this is malice, not stupidity. It is evil, not incompetence. They hate Heritage America on a fundamental level.

They’re SO Not There To Help

The federal government does not want to help you. It has been actively trying to kill you, and attempting to interfere with anyone who gets in the way. This attempt to shut down donations and volunteers in Tennessee is no different than the attacks on all the doctors, nurses, and people speaking out in public about the dangers of the vaxx. Numerous people on social media are reporting some form of the following:

The feds are confiscating donations in Tennessee

Red Cross and FEMA/TEMA has arrived and all donations that has been given to local high school volunteers have been CONFISCATED.

Starting with Davy Crockett High school, They are taking over all volunteer schools in Washington Co, & Greene County.

In order for anyone to get donations that was given they must be approved.

All monetary donations have been taken as well and placed into a TEMA account. If you are unaware of how that works- those items doesn’t all get used for this particular disaster.

Volunteers have been asked to leave, and was told in order to help they MUST be trained by United Way.

PLEASE, I know I already made a post on Red Cross and FEMA the other day, but please if you donate, donate to a church or give to individuals.

They can not take supplies from churchs! Church members will make sure your donations get to the correct hands.

We are still taking donations here, as well as picking up donations this weekend- our donations will be going directly to church’s for them to help the communities.

I know several others that are picking up donations and taking them as well.

And if you would rather donate directly to a church for a church to take- I can put you in contact with churches also.

UPDATE: If that wasn’t bad enough, members of the 82nd Airborne, based in North Carolina, are being denied passes to go home and help their families, because the clowns in Washington deem it more important for them to be on call to go and fight for Israel, as despite all of the billions and billions in US funding provided over the years, apparently there are doubts that the IDF can defeat a Lebanese militia without their assistance.

Late-Stage Retardery

In which we are reminded that societies don’t fall to outside conquest as often as they collapse due to self-inflicted suicidal retardery:

The Minneapolis Police Department has just sworn in its first non-citizen officer, in addition to its first Somali female officer.

Ikran Mohamed and Lesly Vera were among nearly two dozen officers who were recently onboarded to join the police force, with the former being the department’s first Somali female to be recruited and the latter being the first non-citizen officer. The report states that Vera is originally from Mexico but has resided in the US since she was 4 years old, calling Minneapolis her ‘home’ despite never becoming a citizen.

According to ABC News, MPD Chief Brian O’Hara cited a new change in the law, which now states that a ‘permanent resident’ who is a non-citizen can join the police department. “There may be people who question it, but that’s completely ridiculous.“

This should turn out about as well as the “first Somali police officer” and the “first Somali to chair Minneapolis Public Housing Agency” have.

  • Mohamed Noor’s arrival as the first Somali-American officer in his Minneapolis police precinct was celebrated three years ago as a cultural bridge, a way of building trust between the police and the city’s large refugee population. The mayor even attended a welcome ceremony for him. Mr. Noor was sentenced to about 12 and a half years in a Minnesota prison for the death of Justine Ruszczyk, an unarmed woman he killed while on patrol in 2017.
  • Somalian immigrant to the U.S. who chaired the board of the Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) pled guilty to federal wire fraud charges on Wednesday. Sharmarke Issa of Edina, 40, facilitated a money laundering operation and gained millions through fake vendors for the Feeding Our Future (FOF) scam, according to prosecutors.

I don’t know exactly how things will go catastrophically wrong with these two ground-breaking new officers in the Minneapolis Police Department. But I’m very, very confident that they will.

Who Elected Her?

Jill Biden is now running Cabinet meetings:

The New York Post reported that Jill Biden, seated at the head of the Cabinet Room’s board table, “read from a binder about maternal health initiatives for four-and-a-half minutes after her husband spoke for just two minutes off the top of the meeting.”

The president traditionally sits at the center of the table with Cabinet members seated in order of the founding of their departments. The last sitting first lady to attend her husband’s Cabinet meeting appears to be Hillary Clinton.

The amount of influence the first lady has over Joe Biden, and therefore his administration, has been a frequent source of controversy, and numerous commentators took to social media to criticize her presence at the meeting.

The New York Post said that Jill Biden is “considered by insiders to be the most influential first lady since Edith Wilson, who tightly controlled access to her husband, President Woodrow Wilson, after he suffered a debilitating stroke in October 1919.”

Digital strategist Greg Price referenced this comparison, saying, “She’s literally Edith Wilson except right out in the open in a 24/7 news cycle and nobody in the media cares.”

“Wow. A visibly exhausted Joe Biden just held a full Cabinet meeting for the first time in 11 months and immediately turned the mic over to his wife, Jill,” previous adviser to former President Donald Trump Steve Cortes said. He went on to ask, “Who is running the country?”

Political commentator Kate Hyde observed, “Jill Biden is kicking off the first cabinet meeting the White House has had in almost a year and we’re expected to act like this is normal.”

It’s not good, but it could have been worse. At least they were discussing women’s health issues and not the war with Russia or the Middle East.

The Economic Decline of Germany

The suicidal decision to increase energy prices is now causing centuries-old German breweries to shut down:

The decline of the traditional German brewing industry shows no signs of slowing down. Recently, several breweries have filed for bankruptcy or closed permanently, resulting in the loss of centuries-old brewing traditions.

The latest victims are the Gambrinus Brewery in Weiden, Upper Palatinate, and the Gesellschaftsbrauerei Viechtach, about 100 km southeast. Both are located in the Bavarian border region with the Czech Republic, an area often described as structurally weak. The nearly 100-year-old Gambrinus Brewery filed for insolvency on Friday at the Weiden District Court due to unpaid bills and outstanding wages. The brewery’s decline is attributed to rising costs, pandemic-related sales losses, and internal issues, with current production at around 15,000 hl, half its peak output.

On Thursday, it was announced that the insolvent Gesellschaftsbrauerei Viechtach would close permanently after nearly 500 years, ceasing production. Despite intensive negotiations, no investors were willing to continue operations. Remaining employees have been let go, and the Viechtacher brand will continue to be produced at the nearby Hofmark Brewery in Loifling, located in the Cham district of the Upper Palatinate.

Last month, the 672-year-old Karmeliter-Bräu from Salz near Bad Neustadt an der Saale (about 75 km northeast of Würzburg) permanently closed its doors. The brand and distribution rights were acquired by Oettinger Brewery, one of Germany’s largest brewery groups, mainly active in the entry-level segment. It is speculated that the brand, named after a monastic order, will be used to establish the group in the higher-priced segment, similar to other well-known brands like Trappist, Augustiner, Paulaner, Franziskaner, Benediktiner, and Kapuziner.

In addition to various external and internal factors, the wave of brewery closures is also due to declining beer consumption in Germany. Recent figures show a significant drop in sales in June 2024 compared to June 2023, with a total decrease of 11.2% or nearly 1 million hl. The Federal Statistical Office reported that beer sales in June 2024, at 7.77 million hl, were the lowest for June since the Beer Tax Act was revised in 1993.

Prosperity is never a given. This decline, and in some cases, inevitable collapse of various societies is the direct result of the national elites being subverted and converted to false and foreign ideologies that promote dyscivilizational dysgenics. Diversity is not a strength, it is a fatal cancer to every society, as is readily observable in the histories of every fallen empire. The migrants are no better for the Germans than the Spaniards were for the Incas, or than the Arabs were for the Byzantines. In the end, it’s not the armies that eradicate a human society, but the women and children who normally follow them and eventually replace the native genetics with their own.

A Germany full of Germans is an economic powerhouse. An area of 357,022 square kilometers in the middle of Europe populated primarily by German-speaking Turks, Arabs, and Africans will be neither German nor an economic powerhouse. This is not rocket science.

The dirt is not magic. The ideas are not material. People will always live according to their own natural preferences. The transplantation of White Anglo-Saxon Protestants to the New World is what made America what it was in the place of the American Indian societies that preceded it. Neither geography nor ideology nor language nor even religion are determinant in the end, as genetics ultimately and always dictates the destinies of nations.

As the great Israeli military historian Martin van Creveld has written, immigration is war. To be more specific, it is war on the native people and their culture.

The Slow Death of Suburbia

As a Generation X suburbanite, I was given the opportunity to grow up with one of the more idyllic childhoods ever known to human history. But the unique factors that made the American suburb possible in the first place have been systematically eliminated, thereby rendering them, like the USA itself, unsustainable.

Visit old neighborhood for the first time since 2009. 30% of the houses have been on the market for 5 years. Average age has doubled, nobody who grew up there can afford to live there. Aunt gets emotional talking about the lack of kids in the neighborhood on Halloween. House across the street is a revolving door of Indian immigrants with vehicles and garbage on the lawn. Was my hometown just unlucky, or has the upper middle class suburb died a slow painful death in the past 15 years?

Unfortunately, the Boomers who raised their children in the suburbs were never committed to those communities the way people who grew up in small towns and city neighborhoods were. The suburb was populated by transients; the homes were never designed or intended to be handed down over the course of generations, nor, for the most part, were they. Everything from property and inheritance taxes to reverse mortgages and Boomer consumption patterns militate against the survival of the suburb in America.

Contra the lies of the Hellmouth’s urbanites, Suburbia was a wonderful place to live, even if it was a consequence of American atomism and the geographic dispersion of the American family. But it’s hard to imagine much of it lasting another 70 years.

The End of Schengen

Germany has finally bowed to the inevitable and will be bringing the era of free movement across Europe to an end:

Germany will bring in controls on all its land borders to deal with the ‘continuing burden’ of migration and ‘Islamist terrorism’, the country’s interior minister has told the EU.

Nancy Faeser of the struggling Social Democrat party (SPD) has finally accepted that Germany has no choice but to enforce proper border controls if it has any hope of coping with the staggering amount of unauthorised entries.

According to German newspaper Bild, the new rules will see ‘harsh rejections of migrants at the borders’.

Faeser has reportedly already informed the EU Commission of the decision, which is fuelled by deep-rooted panic over Germany’s current migrant situation and internal security threats.

I lived in Europe pre-Schengen, and I won’t lie, it was really nice to be able to blitz right through the borders that used to take up to 45 minutes to get through. But what was convenient for day-trippers and tourists has been an absolute nightmare due to the criminals and migrants who were also provided with easy and invisible movement throughout the European Union states and the non-EU Schengen signees.

This has been coming for two or three years now; we’ve seen some of the big border infrastructure being built at the borders of France and Spain, even though it isn’t being used yet. The police mostly use the toll booths as an ersatz border, but that only works for the highways.

Brexit marked the beginning of the end for the EU, but the effective demise of Schengen marks another important step.

Have We Reached Peak Boomer?

Even before they have exited the scene, it’s already clear that the Boomers are the worst and most wicked generation in recorded history. Can you even imagine doing this to anyone, let alone your own children?

Identity theft is never pleasant, but it’s so much worse when the perpetrators are your family members. One Redditor learned this the hard way after being left to deal with the consequences after his parents stole his identity to open a credit card, which was used to pay for cruises. The Redditor, who has remained anonymous, initially noticed that something was different when his parents went on two vacations in one year, when they weren’t known for going on vacations.

“My parents opened a credit card in my name and used the money to go on cruises. I thought it was odd they went on two in the last year, especially since they never went on vacations before.”

At the time, the poster had no idea that his parents were committing a federal crime – using his identity – to pay for their sailings. In fact, he only learned of the serious transgression once he was contacted by a collections agency looking to recoup the unpaid sum – which totaled more than $10,000.

“A couple of weeks ago, I got a letter from a collection agency wanting to work out a payment plan for more than $10,000 for a credit card I never had. Through my own investigation, it became obvious either my mom or dad opened the account in my name last year.”

Even after being caught red-handed, the parents attempted to deny their actions, trying to convince their child that he received the letter by mistake. But eventually, they admitted that they had secretly opened credit cards in the poster and his siblings’ names because they wanted to travel.

The seemingly unapologetic parents said they intended to make the monthly payments so their kids would never find out, but it became too expensive to do so. Their only suggestion for their wronged child was to file for bankruptcy – but asked them to open a few more lines of credit first.

Usury is a cancer on the people. Usury that is the primary foreign and domestic priority of the government is like… government-mandated injections of cancer-causing substances. There is a very good reason why usury was banned for centuries across Christendom, and why it will be highly restricted if not outright banned in most future societies that survive the total collapse of Clown World.

No Carriers in the Pacific

The US Navy has lost control of the Pacific Ocean:

The U.S. Navy is facing a shortfall of deployed carriers in the Pacific as the buildup in the Middle East continues. The lack of carriers has left a critical gap in the West Pacific. The departure of USS Abraham Lincoln coincides with the change in homeport of USS Ronald Reagan (CVN 76) from Yokosuka, Japan to Bremerton, Washington. The Ronald Reagan‘s replacement, the USS George Washington (CVN 73) still in San Diego on a scheduled port visit.

The U.S. Navy’s other Pacific-based carriers are in port or in their maintenance availability period. Out of six carriers in the Pacific, the USS Carl Vinson recently participated in RIMPAC 2024, the USS Nimitz recently completed a six month planned incremental availability period for maintenance, the USS Ronald Reagan recently completed a homeport shift to Naval Base Kitsap, and the USS George Washington will remain in San Diego until the crew and equipment swap from USS Ronald Reagan is complete.

With no U.S. carriers in the Pacific for at least three weeks, the Navy is leaving a critical gap in coverage in a region where standoffs and incidents are common, as seen this week when a Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) vessel collided with a Philippines Coast Guard (PCG) vessel in the South China Sea near Filipino outposts in the region.

The Taiwanese Ministry of National Defense also announced several live fire exercises with precision guided weapons, including a series of tests with PAC-2 and Tien Kung III surface-to-air missiles and Hsiung Feng II-E anti-ship missiles.

Between the Middle East, maintenance periods, and the Indo-Pacific, the US Navy’s carrier fleet is stretched thin trying to uphold a high-demand presence worldwide.

It’s fascinating to see how the once-dominant power of the US Navy has so rapidly faded, without the Navy losing a single capital ship to enemy action. But the advancements in anti-ship missile technology are rendering surface ships even more vulnerable than aircraft; since the US has always been an air-and-naval power, these advancements have naturally affected the US military most and eliminated its global superpower status.

We’ll know that the USA has surrendered the Pacific to China when Japan formally switches sides and shuts down the US bases in the mainland, and especially, on Okinawa. This could be coming as soon as the next Japanese administration, depending upon whom is elected as the next leader of the Liberal Democratic Party.
