[Chicago, 2/27/14]
This Labor Day weekend, shootings left 11 dead and 55 injured in Chicago, 10 dead and 23 injured in Philadelphia, and I’m sure Saint Louis, New Orleans and Oakland, etc., were similarly festive. Baghdad, Juarez, Kabul and Kiev had to be more tranquil.
Shown on Philly’s ABC, a woman in her 20’s, Kiyah, remarks, “It’s normal. It’s regular,” but adds, “It’s getting worse and worse, you know what I mean?”
Of course, I know what you mean, Kiyah. I spent three decades in Philly. Gone four years, I have forgotten much of that menace, though three months in Cape Town reintroduced me to ghetto mode. There, too, I was almost mugged by blacks.
Philly’s police chief is named Outlaw, I kid you not, and she got this job after a similarly fine performance in Portland, Oregon. Despite a sharp rise of gun homicides during her watch, Outlaw was highly praised by Portland’s mayor, but that’s the political climate up that way.
On 7/16/22, the Oregonian reports, “Black teen and adult men continued to be disproportionately affected by nonfatal shootings and homicides, representing 47% of victims and suspects, while making up only 6% of the city’s population.” To be affected is to be acted upon, that is, to be the victims, and not perpetrators of shootings and homicides. Who says deft usage of English is kaput?
In Philly, Outlaw is paired with district attorney Larry Krasner, who used Soros money to gain office. Tell me if you’ve heard this one, a Jew funds another Jew to wreck society with black crime? Philly voters aren’t blameless since they voted for Krasner twice.
Always loyal to the home team, most Americans have hive minds so can't think as individuals. If they identify as Democrats, for example, they’ll overlook Hunter Biden’s degeneracy and Joe’s corruption. If Republican, they’ll ignore Trump’s push for the genocidal jewjab and kowtowing to Israel, but of course, all American politicians smooch kosher asses, so it’s not like these sheared sheep have choices. It’s tailored that way. Abjectly fearful and obedient, they’ll even pay to commit suicide for Jews.
Watching the US from afar, I’m amazed not just at its rapid disintegration, but also by the obliviousness of many Americans to their plight. All the ghastly trends I witnessed while there, so I’m only revisiting the familiar, though amplified. There are many more homeless crapping on sidewalks, drug overdoses, filth and barbarity. Long an exporter of unfathomable savagery, the US is retaining more of it for domestic consumption.
Though not paying for your restaurant meal, dine and dash, has been around for a while, it’s on the increase, and keep in mind most of these, involving just two people, say, are not reported to the police. As inflation rises and food shortages affect many more folks, this will become so rampant, restaurants will be donnybrooks, with fists, dishes, food or even bullets flying, or forced out of business.
To preempt shoplifting, ghetto stores usually keep merchandises behind counter, if not bulletproof plexiglass. Now, we hear of suburban supermarkets locking up fresh meats or even cans of Spam, and flash mob shopliftings have become much more common. Instead of one guy surreptitiously stuffing a can of tuna down his pants, you have twenty thugs leisurely taking whatever they want.
Paid minimum wage, few employees will try to stop this, and even store owners will just have to bite their lips and watch, since they don’t want to be assaulted, if not killed.
On YouTube, there’s a video of a female clerk casually whacked in the face with a brick, as preface to some free shopping. (Sadly, blacks continue to be disproportionately affected by such crimes, as, uh, participants, unwillingly, of course, thanks to much white, yellow, brown and Arabic racism, per your Jewish professor. Jews aren’t racist...) More if not most US stores, then, will be tricked out like those in Philly or South Africa, with just slits even to hand over merchandise and cash.
You too will learn how to walk and talk ghetto. To get a head start, take that Greyhound to Philly. Enrich yourself then die, or vice versa.
After I complained about a YouTuber who presented rather lame Philly’s neighborhoods as “most dangerous,” a reader commented:
To be fair, it’s really hard in towns like Philly to really tell the difference between kinda bad and really bad areas if you're not from there.
Honestly I wouldn’t walk around most of Philly. Last time I was there I stayed with friends in Fishtown which wasn't bad relatively, but also had shootings and drug addicts everywhere and was not “safe.” We’d ride bikes around Kensington just to see the urban decay which aesthetically is very cool.
Overall Philly seems like a city of ruins and walking dead. The best people I saw there were the insane sports fans who’d be the worst people in many other parts of the country.
As a proud Philadelphian, I take exception to that nasty assessment, but he’s right, of course. The best Philadelphians would be deemed monsters anywhere else. What a compliment!
Forget the Greyhound, Philly will come right to your door and knock it down! Philly will sleep in your bed, between you and your spouse!
Enough of the good news! Here we are talking about restaurant dining and shopping, but there’ll be almost nothing to buy soon enough, and few coins to snag what’s available. Because of catastrophic weather worldwide, think climate engineering, almost all harvests, of rice, wheat, corn, soybean, sweet potatoes or whatever, are way below recent norms, plus millions of animals have been culled, so starvation for millions, if not billions, is guaranteed. As with the jewjab, the Satanic lords of this wretched earth want many of us dead. We get in the way of their poetic views.
Just as each of us dies alone, each society has its own death schedule. Since the jewjacked US exports nothing but death, venom and degeneracy, those rubbing against it will crumble first. They’re already grotesquely deformed.
In the UK, many people are refusing to pay their frightful electricity and gas bills. In Naples, the unemployed burn bills in public, while a restaurant owner adds light and gas surcharges to checks. Ignored by global media, Dutch farmers continue their protest. Baked this summer, Europeans will soon freeze, according to plan. In Ukraine, Jewish Zelensky demands more aids to ethnic cleanse Slavs. To make him look grand, propaganda videos are shot from below the short man’s chin, and the penile pianist is still wearing that army surplus T-shirt, for he’s a fighter!
92% of Vietnamese have received one dose of Covid “vaccine,” while 85% have been fully “vaccinated,” so this country is well snagged into the Great Reset. Its nationalism, though, is intact, so it will endure even with most of its people dead.
Foodwise, it’s also self-sufficient. Plus, most Vietnamese remember well the near starvation years that only ended two decades ago, so they can revert to eating next to nothing.
In the meantime, the feasting, drinking and laughing continue, so daily, I witness much mirth just walking around. Wherever you are, then, savor each bite.
Though the best is over for most of us, this fight isn’t done.
[Vung Tau, 9/4/22]
I'd love to 'gift a subscription' or 'share' with my husband and friends, but they would be deeply angered and shocked by Postcards from the End. They are unshakeable in their deranged rage towards the Orange Man, all our problems have been caused by the evil Russians, and proudly display their Ukrainian flags and 'We Support BLM' signs in front of their homes and businesses. Even my husband, once a sensible, wise, intelligent person who entranced me with his musicianship and insight, has gone full berserk and I have to watch my words carefully with him. Now I only know two people with whom it's possible to have any kind of discussion and share observations on the state of the world. We are watching the West descend into madness and the people I love the most are embracing the Idiocracy. It's astonishing.
My daughter lives in Portland, and we visit every year. We lived there for five or six years until she graduated from high school about 25 years ago, after which my job took us elsewhere. My daughter stayed to go to college there and chose to stay afterwards, so we have gone up there every year or so to visit. The homeless situation has steadily gotten worse over the years, but has absolutely exploded since 2019. They didn’t even need Covid to destroy local business—the BLM/Antifa riots managed that quite nicely downtown before Covid even got started. The once-beautiful downtown district is now a deserted sea of mostly plywood storefronts. The transient population is evident everywhere, including along every freeway and many off-ramps, and I fear for the safety of my daughter, her husband, and my grandson living nearby. They seem nonchalant about the whole thing, thoroughly immunized by the university.
We usually do some shopping when we go up there to avoid sales taxes. Last year we went to a Home Depot to buy a hedge trimmer. When I went to lift it into the cart, I found it was wired to cables on the floor, and I had to summon a clerk to unlock it for me. She told me they had started doing this because "people" were coming in and just walking out the door with major items like that. The employees have strict instructions not to attempt to stop shoplifters when this happens. (Q: Is it still called ‘shoplifting’ if you don’t try to hide it when you’re stealing it?) And at the time I thought: What would keep me from walking out the door with it after the clerk unlocked it for me? Does the clerk conduct a visual assessment to decide whether or not to do that?
This store wasn’t even in a questionable neighborhood, but was in a normally placid suburb. I guess this is just another incentive to take the retail business model to “on-line sales only.”
You said: “Watching the US from afar, I’m amazed not just at its rapid disintegration, but also by the obliviousness of many Americans to their plight.” Me too. Virtually everyone I know has taken most of this in stride, and if you try to instruct them otherwise, they either look at you like you’re crazy, or get angry at you. I’ve long since given up on my extended family.
As you said, Trump just won’t abandon the shots, despite attempts by a number of otherwise sympathetic commentators to get him to denounce them. But most of the zombies will vote for him anyway—what other choice are they being given? For all the good it’s done, I’ve been voting third party for so long, I can’t remember the last time I didn’t.
You hit on something when you observed that “most Vietnamese remember well the near starvation years that only ended two decades ago, so they can revert to eating next to nothing.” That portion of the planet’s population more accustomed to getting by on not much more than the basic necessities, or closer to the Earth by virtue of their lifestyles than the modern Westerner, do not have far to fall when the card table finally collapses, and may be, by their lifestyles, the best equipped to survive or even thrive.
BTW, now reading “Love Like Hate”. Fine piece of work!
