I am going to offend a lot of people with this blog. Sorry, but it is time to tell the plain truth, as I see it, no matter how unpleasant it is to hear.
The Middle East
Like most people, I have been shocked and horrified by recent events in Israel. It is too early to know what led to the catastrophic failure to anticipate and respond to the attack by Hamas. I suspect that multiple causes will be found. I would suggest that one variable was the pandemic. Israel had been one of the leaders in responding to the pandemic. But the Israeli government, like all the others, eventually threw in the towel and let the virus rampage in the country unchecked. It is hard to understand how so many poor decisions could have been made to allow the current situation to occur. Could it be that some of the people who had been quite good at anticipating problems and planning for them no longer have brains that work as well as they used to? Israel is a small country surrounded by enemies and can only survive if it is vastly superior in technology and planning to its neighbors. This was true but may no longer be. The (Shia) Iranian government continues to stir up trouble and develop its nuclear weapons. The (Sunni) Saudis respond by talking about developing nuclear weapons of their own. Israel already has nuclear weapons. How does this end?
Africa
Africa has some of the best reserves of natural resources in the world. Yet, most countries within the continent are poor. This is partly due to the after effects of colonialism and stupidly designed national borders for which the English government is mostly responsible. However, incredible levels of corruption within African governments, religious wars and ancient tribal hatreds are also responsible for collapsing African economies. Repeated epidemics of extremely dangerous viruses such as Ebola have nearly destroyed some African countries and may yet do so. All of this is leading to mass migrations to Europe which are not sustainable. How does this end?
Europe
To continue this theme into Europe, how long before the Italians and Spanish decide their survival as nations requires draconian and very definitely unhumanitarian measures to stop from being overwhelmed by boatloads of angry young men? Eastern Europe is already starting to address the issue of huge numbers of angry young men seeking to escape from the Middle Eastern caldron. This isn’t going to be nice to watch.
Why haven’t the Russian people risen up and torn Mad Vlad limb from limb? Why do they climb into buses to be sent with lousy weapons and equipment to Ukraine where they are likely to be killed or maimed? Could it be that their brains were fried by SARS-CoV-2? Russia had one of the lowest levels vaccination in Europe and compliance with masking recommendations was poor. Mad Vlad threatens nuclear war every other day unless he is allowed to conquer as much of Europe as he wants (although he has fans in Germany and the US, sadly). Besides his, thus far, empty threats, Putin is moving forward with a number of nuclear-related technologies. They may not work perfectly, but even one poorly functioning nuclear warhead can ruin your whole day as long as it goes boom. How does this end?
The Indian Subcontinent
There was recently a Nipah virus epidemic in India. We don’t know the source. However, the virus in this latest oubreak clearly was transmitted human to human fairly efficiently. Nipah can be as deadly as Ebola. The current outbreak has apparently ended. But wherever the virus came from, it may return. We Americans tend to forget that India and Pakistan are bitter, nuclear-armed enemies. India’s current leader is an intolerant Hindu religious zealot who is leading India towards theocracy. Muslim Pakistan borders on a failed State (Afghanistan) and is close to becoming a failed State itself. It is not easy to tell where Pakistani intelligence operatives end and terrorists begin. Any number of terrorist groups within Pakistan or adjacent Afghanistan would like to get their hands on Pakistan’s nuclear weapons. Given that Pakistani officials do not have good control over their nuclear weapons, it is possible that terrorists will get them. How does this end?
Asia
SARS-CoV-2 originated in China (as did SARS-CoV-1 and H5N1). The consensus is slowly moving away from a natural origin to this virus to a laboratory origin. There is zero doubt in my mind that Chinese scientists are aggressively developing biological weapons with, I’m afraid, some funding and assistance from the American government. Scientists in China working with these viruses are notoriously sloppy. Many in the US know this but can’t say it out loud without being branded racist. However, the truth is the truth and the result of this truth is over one million dead Americans. Xi Jinping is a sociopath and a megalomaniac. His incompetence has resulted in the destruction of the Chinese economic miracle pioneered by Deng Xiaopeng. Xi won’t take the blame of course. He’d rather extend WW III to Asia and kill more millions of people than risk the displeasure of the Chinese people. His fat little stooge, Kim Jong Un, develops nuclear weapons with help from China (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). North Korea may be used as a disposable pawn in a nuclear attack on South Korea, Japan or the US. How does this end?
Oceania
Australia and New Zealand are both doing fairly well. These two countries are most likely to survive a global meltdown. However, they will need to learn to make things for themselves instead of importing so many manufactured goods. They will also need to be able to defend themselves from any desperate surviving superpowers.
South and Central America
Lots has been written about revolutions and emigration in the Spanish and Portuguese-speaking countries of the New World. However, people who write in English almost never tell the truth about the history of these countries and how it relates to the current immigration crisis. What follows is a bit of a simplification. There are three groups in “Latin” America: Indios (the original inhabitants), mestizos (people of mixed heritage) and blancos (European-descendants, whites). There were great civilizations in the New World which were destroyed by invading Europeans. The descendants of these civilizations were subjugated, discriminated against (to this day) and reduced to poverty. Mestizos were allowed to rise to middle class status. However, it is the pureblood Spanish and Portuguese descendants who still mostly rule and have most of the land in many of these countries (and American States like New Mexico). Marxist and other revolutionary ideologues have played on the grievances of the poor Indios and poor mestizos to sway them to their side. US companies, supported by the US government, did not help matters by siding with the blancos and helping them to keep down the nonwhites. What about drugs you say? Take a look at pictures of the drug lords. Be honest. What kind of people do they look like? Yeah, guess what? They are mostly blancos. If they were walking the streets of Madrid, they would not stick out. Now look at immigrants coming over the border. What do they look like? Yeah, they look like the statues of ancient Mayans – because that’s what many of them are, Mayans, not Spaniards. Many don’t speak Spanish, which, and some people seem to forget this, is a European language spoken by people who live in Europe. Poor Indios seeking to escape the murderous drug gangs founded by blancos are desperately trying to reach safety in the US. I know, we can’t take them all in. So, maybe we need to stop coddling corrupt blancos and step in on the right side “down there”. Fix the problem at the source.
Canada
Canada’s Prime Minister is a weak-willed, corrupt Nepo-Baby with questionable loyalty to his own country. That is all.
The United States
I have covered many of the problems of the US in past blogs, so I will be brief. The hereditary elite in this country, mostly Anglo-Saxon and Dutch Episcopalians, have degenerated both intellectually and morally. Unfortunately, they still control vast resources, both physical and social. They control access to the best educations and systematically deny it to the vast majority of Americans. They control access to the best jobs including in key government agencies like the CIA and systematically deny it to the vast majority of Americans. They own vast quantities of the land in this country and would like to deny as much as possible of it to other Americans. For all our faults, we have better chances to improve out lot than the citizens of most countries. Most of our chains are psychological. We can deprogram ourselves from the soul-destroying fantasies of Hollywood and the false narratives of the mainstream media. We can buy land (still) and build our own secure holds. We can raise and educate our own children. We can be who we want to be. Who the founders wanted us to be. Who we should be.
