Stupid, More Stupid and the Idiot Europeans Investigated and Explained.

 

Stupid, More Stupid and the Idiot Europeans Investigated and Explained.

The history of the world shows us many forms of societal transformations and most are not very pretty when the process and outcomes are examined.[1] There are always reasons to explore as to why the Roman Empire failed, citing, also, the Spanish and Portuguese empires, the Mongols, and others, but the details of any analysis reveal that mistakes were made in most cases. Whether these assorted mistakes were decisive or fatal and to what degree is open to debate. The avoidance of mistakes is an essay into itself and is convoluted with nostrums of predictions, visionary efforts, long-range planning and such. The general difficulty with societies is based in their intrinsic political mechanism [politics] whereby decisions are made by groups. Poor choices are the norm for most governments. There is never agreement, in full, on various courses of action in societies and so many obtuse vectors are selected and pursued with vigor and élan that could not be politically prevented.  One segment of history involves the analysis of military or religious invasions of various societies and the radical or military transformation thereof.  The fate of the conquered society is always of interest and mostly disastrous and this is happening as we read this in Europe. Those who conquered are now being conquered. Strangely, the Europeans are losing a religious war after many centuries after establishing their version of the ultimate religious domain. They are also paying for their own destruction with welfare-type programs that encourage their enemies to settle in their midst, take advantage of their laws, get money from the state, set up hate groups and schools, foster terrorist groups and undermine the societal substructure. Europe was saved from the Mongols by the Black Plague. There wasn’t much loot there anyway so the Mongols looked toward Baghdad. The Europeans may not be so lucky this time.  Europe probably cannot be saved.

The Romans transformed most of the known world in their time and so did the Mongols using similar tactics a few centuries later. Both societies were after loot and power and enforced detailed laws on their victims and ran sectors of their conquered subjects as provinces. Clovis I (466 – 511) was the first King of the Franks and consolidated central Europe approximately as it would be later known.[2] Clovis ended the Roman influence by terminating their power. Europe was later decimated by the Black Plague, numerous wars, errant and unsuccessful Crusades but, it could be argued by many, improved in certain societal metrics until the general demise of European society that started in 1914 with World War 1. At the pinnacle of European society, marked by the 1900 Paris Exposition[3], they had opened to the doors to wonders of the future and nothing could be imagined that might limit their progress and ability to build a lasting society except their own politics and poor decisions. The general decline of Europe, as seen by the trench warfare and millions of dead [51,000,000 was the toll in WW1]  was followed shortly by a depression,  then a repeat of the Great War [31,000,000 dead this time] , the collapse of several governments, the extinction of most banking systems, kingdoms, political parties and more. There was mass starvation, pogroms, the Terror returned in Russia and other parts of Europe all made possible by politics. It is not possible to accuse the Europeans of good sense or diplomacy during this era from 1870 to 1989 as they could not sensibly curtail any of their devastating wars and cold war belligerencies.  Certainly, their most talented leaders died in the continual wars or, later, in concentration camps. There are strange structures known as ossuaries that are simple charnel houses holding the moldy bones of unknown losers of massive wars to remind the current inhabitants of their sordid history and culture. It a truism to state that peace in Europe occurs spontaneously after major wars and lasts for a short time.

Rescued several times by the United States, with money and soldiers as appropriate, whose citizens assumed the various roles of  wet nurses, mop brigade captains and official lice dusting regulators, the remaining demoralized Europeans formed some kind of communal economic cluster and traded all they had for ‘peace and security.’ Socialism gripped the continent and England and its satellites as Bernard Shaw had hoped for with his Fabianism.[4] Besides being a generation of cowards, since their brave soldiers and best leaders were killed in numerous wars or exterminated by the Bolsheviks, the current examples of European leadership are a curious product of 300 years of inbreeding, sloth, leftist political indoctrination and nonsense as embodied in the clownish caricature of the Prince of Wales. The have-nots have discovered many new ways to circumvent the tax prohibitions[5] of the Magna Charta.[6] Socialism has succeeded in putting bread on the tables of the masses with little or no casualties from wars while leaving the United States and Australia to fight the necessary wars as the Europeans hid in the shadows. The Western Europeans who were cowered and demoralized by the shadow of Communism and the nuclear threats of the USSR, retreated into their little cocoons and pretended to live their safe little lives with continual meddling and prodding by the Swedes, of Nobel War Prize Fame and who had manufactured and sold guns and arms to any European belligerent who could pay for the stuff. Later on, after the 1989 collapse of the USSR, the Greens got control of many governments and decided that ecology and Marxism were more important than society. Next, the Islamo-Fascisti moved in to mooch, preach hate and proclaim the impending general burden of Sharia law [7]to all who would listen. To get the attention of Parisians, for instance, they routinely bombed the city restaurants, synagogues and other structures in 1995 and on [8] and forced the French to grovel and moan, appear to simulate head-banging droolers, and formed the sickly appearance which they certainly display today. As this is written, the French and their less sophisticated socialist associates in adjoining territories are struggling with their self-assessed  failure to properly ‘assimilate’ the barbarian Arabs, selected former members of French Colonies from North Africa and Persians into their society. The Moslem population now ranges from 1 to 10% or more in much of Western Europe and the fraction is much higher in Eastern Europe and Russia.[9] Their presence now commands more political power than their population ratios would suggest. This is all made possible by the numerous splinter parties that have plagued the Europeans since 1789 and many will sell out their country for a few Muslim votes. The rise of militant Islam is now at hand and the Europeans are not addressing this issue as the US also failed to do since the Carter Era.[10] The psychotic Islamo-Fascisti are not to be compared with Mexican illegal aliens in the US as their goals are very different. Torching automobiles and hospitals are the customary modern political procedures in Europe and they are very effective. The French and Germans cower, mumble and appease all burnings and threats. They are now well below the accepted standards of the average coward. A broad yellow stripe painted boldly down their backs in not enough to signal danger to strangers even if they were phosphorescent and glowed in the dark.

Germany[11], France[12] and other garden spots in Europe have struggled with their economies and unemployment and high taxation for centuries without resolution other than to employ assignations, revolution and war. The general population was gradually reduced to impotency by high taxes and socialism so that power groups could not arise to contest or threaten existing governments. The church disintegrated except in Poland and the Church of England is but a useless relic of history. The demoralized population was some what satisfied with the high taxes along with some social benefits and the precious absence of conflict. Sloth and drug addiction are now preferred elements of European lifestyles.

The Europeans cannot address a reasonable threat. The Islamic Fascists and terrorists were able to easily transform the political architecture of Spain with a single bombing episode in a train station along with the threat of many more to come. The March 2004 bombing of trains in Madrid, a mere three days before Spain's general elections, that killed 191 people and wounded1,755, drastically altered the instant political infrastructure of Span yielding a convincing political and inexpensive  victory to al-Qaeda.[13] The Spanish live in rabid fear of more bombings so they caved in to demands to not support the US in the War on Terrorism. That was more than enough for the Spineless Spanish. They now grovel and cower before such threats of a repeat performance. Even the threat of bombing the same site in Paris since 1980 is an effective political maneuver for the terrorists.[14] The Italians and French have performed similar acts of cowardice much to the praise of the radical left and their fascist allies from Islam. Various parts of Europe suffer from terrorism and fear of Turks, Albanians and other ethnic Muslims.[15] Much of this is a result of guest workers gaining political power starting as from as far back in history the 1950s. The cowardly Europeans are assisting the hangman in the extermination of their society, citizens and culture.

Apart from their low stance of perpetual subservience and Kowtowing to the slightest demands of Islamo-Fascisti, the Europeans are preoccupied with sloth, sodomy and drug addiction. They want a 20 hour work week. In the Netherlands, simple and clinically unconfirmed complaints of frequent headaches will qualify the complainer for a lifetime on welfare that pays only slightly below the pay of ordinary workers. The public park in Amsterdam has a large space next to the Red Light District where drugs are consumed and celebrated and the police do not interfere. Drugs are for sale everywhere and there are pink escort signs on the tops of nearly every phone booth and taxi cab. Not to be outdone in participating in the intakes of degeneracy, the Swiss had an experiment called NeedlePark.  Let us recall that the Swiss are in the dirty money business. Druggies were attracted like moths to a flame from all over Europe to shoot dope, overdose and die. These experiments failed, of course, and they closed the park but the dopers moved to the train station. Now the Swiss government maintains private shooting galleries where dopers from all across Europe can snort and mainline drugs using sterile equipment and avoid the press and criticism. That is a typical contemporary political and social solution now praised by the Europeans. That is the kind of twisted social logic that has infected Europe and this mass mental affliction may be applied to housing, jobs, testing, education and many other facets of the degenerating society in Europe.[16] In the US, of course, we have San Francisco, the most degenerate place on the planet and California will soon sink into moral oblivion and the state will go broke. [17] The aberrant California political and social philosophy is detailed in this satirical link:[18] Europe is a swamp of drugs and misery but the Muslims will have none of it. They don’t even drink wine.

Europe has lost its moral compass and has surrendered to the Islamo Fascists. Peace at any cost and the proud wearing of an Islamic brass ring in the noses of the citizens is indicated. The Muslims will take power by force and intimidation and the result, unexpected for the errant and miserable Europeans, will be the beheading of perverts, drug addicts and religions types, if any remain, because they offend Sharia Law. French wine will be poured into the public latrines as they did in Teheran in the 70s. The call to worship will shut down Paris and London several times a day. This process will come as a shock in San Francisco where they would be the first city to fall under the power of a new version of the Taliban. Indeed, many Californians blame religious moderates and conservatives in the US by aid of the concept of cryptomisoxeny.[19] Here, for example, the use of overt racism employed by liberals is used to ferret out, expose and condemn racists according to this precept. Many infidels would need to be destroyed to satisfy Sharia Law and cleanse the new Islamic society of the undesirables in California.

That is the level to where the spineless Europeans have degenerated and they whimper and moan as their new masters build strength and political power. The US is not far from this sorry state in San Francisco, parts of Oregon, Boston and some dung heaps like Philadelphia, but these places are still morally and financially and socially isolated from the suburbs and country dwellers. They cannot penetrate the ‘burbs with their blather as yet. The taxes are still way too low and it is too easy to beat the city folk at standardized tests, work ethics, industry, mental exercises, educational hurdles, investments, planning, marriage, family matters and life in general. Europe now looks like Philadelphia sans the murder rates.

It is most interesting that the elements of the Celtic Peoples evolved from a barbarian mystic sect far and away from its roots in crude tribalism to the feudal system and then democratic government and was ultimately strongly dominated by somewhat homogeneous religious and political forces. It is more interesting, now, that they are now being conquered and demoralized by a highly organized religious system of fanaticism governed by the strict rules of tribalism and religious bigotry unparallel in the world. All this suggests the need to begin some revolutions and vigilante activities, but the socialist rules of conduct do not permit such and their armies are outdated, too small be effective and impotent. This impending disaster in Europe is not a bad option for the US, if we survive our leftists, as the demise of Europe would lessen demand for critical raw materials such as oil and copper and ease our economic burdens. Europe is probably lost except for what remains in history, poetry and literature and the loss is not important to us anymore. The foolhardy Europeans sit idly by and listen to the mullahs dispense hatred from the mosques and madrasses and allow the revolutionary system to build. They are guilty of suborning all the needs of their enemies.

That is stupid.

[5]John relied on clever manipulation of pre-existing rights, including those of forest law, a set of regulations about the king’s hunting preserves, which were easily broken and severely punished. John also increased the pre-existing scutage (feudal payment to an overlord replacing direct military service) eleven times in his seventeen years as king, as compared to eleven times in twice that period covering three monarchs before him. The last two of these increases were double the increase of their predecessors. He also imposed the first income tax, which raised what was, at the time, the extortionate sum of £70,000. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magna_Carta#Taxes

[11]Germany's affluent and technologically powerful economy - the fifth largest in the world in PPP terms - showed considerable improvement in 2007 with 2.6% growth. After a long period of stagnation with an average growth rate of 0.7% between 2001-05 and chronically high unemployment, stronger growth led to a considerable fall in unemployment to about 8% near the end of 2007. Among the most important reasons for Germany's high unemployment during the past decade were macroeconomic stagnation, the declining level of investment in plant and equipment, company restructuring, flat domestic consumption, structural rigidities in the labor market, lack of competition in the service sector, and high interest rates. https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/gm.html#Econ

[19] Cryptomisoxeny Explained by Theory and Examples.

“This is a serious mental affliction that infects almost everybody in the world where people use hypocrisy, bigotry and racism to ferret out the hypocrites, bigots and racists with the grand feeling that they are absent these negative attributes and are performing tasks related to justice or other delusion. It is good to root out and display the racists and the reward is wild applause, contentment and a feeling of well being. Cryptomisoxeny propels tribalism and religious bigotry to higher and higher levels with modern communication methods and ensures that these social factors will persist to infinity.”

Krugman Predicts Doom for the Economy and the Election of Obama

   Krugman Predicts Doom for the Economy and the Election of Obama

We are anxious to study and digest the facts presented by Paul Krugman as we examine the egalitarian minutiae from the latest political proclamations from the New York Time. Today we get an essay on bubble economics. Of course, politics is not based on truth and a gaggle of slobbering economists cannot even get a 50% record of predictions of market directions, so we have to sift out the politics from the economic realities when we read the krugmaniacal one. We expect little other than propaganda and leftist narcotic dreams from essays of the NYT—aka the Walter Duranty Papers[1]. Today, the ultimate doom of the economy is presented using bubble logic and other phantasms that haunt the left in the form of lost tax revenues.[2]

Home prices are in free fall. Unemployment is rising. Consumer confidence is plumbing depths not seen since 1980. When will it all end?

The answer is, probably not until 2010 or later. Barack Obama, take notice.”--L-ish Economic Prospects By Paul Krugman July 18, 2008. [3][Emphasis is mine in all quotes. This link references all quotes in this essay unless otherwise noted. ]

Here, a prediction is proffered by our non-economist from the NYT: 2 years from now.

Home prices are not in free fall—they are adjusting to market conditions brought on by over production of housing and limited credit. Any time some market driven item goes down it is the fault of capitalism or Bushism and when it goes up then it may be the result of good government, prudent planning or some other leftist theme unless it generates profits. We can blame the far leftist Greenlining[4] [5] project, a ‘program’ that allowed dead beats, drug addicts, parasites and hucksters to get cheap loans at the expense of banks. Their personal defects are shielded from the credit rating agencies so loaners cannot tell who not to loan money to. Many of these people should not have ever been home owners, but should have stayed in detox, the streets or the mental hospitals where they had some food and a warm place to take a dump. The phony loans given to the undeserving types caused much of this mess as we see in Baltimore in the Skid Row areas. They are better off there ignoring the obvious street drug deals and creating jobs for social workers in Baltimore, Oakland and Philly. But, such phony programs generate votes for liberal Democrats.

Thank you for this. We will remember this and remind your readers of your predictions.

 The rest of the article cooks up the usual Mulligan stew of missed liberal opportunities such as this fluff:

Should we expect [housing] prices to fall all the way back? Well, in the late 1980s, Los Angeles experienced a large localized housing bubble: real home prices rose about 50 percent before the bubble popped. Home prices then proceeded to fall by a quarter, which combined with ongoing inflation brought real housing prices right back to their prebubble[6] level.”

Apparently, there is some bubbly correction mechanism in play that haunts the fevered minds of the far left, exemplified here in this rant that may be different from the usual confluence of supply and demand curves that they teach in elementary economics. I wonder if Krugman ever took an economics course? That would not be mandatory as the training and credentials required to be anointed as a distinguished fellow or university professor are not stringent. Any jerk who denounces capitalism is fit to teach at Harvard. So, they can loudly and confidently proclaim nuances in advanced economics from their high perches while constantly correcting Adam Smith and Say where appropriate. The late 80s decline in real estate in California and Texas were actually isolated and not indicative of a general trend. Krugman frequently cherry-picks the rotten fruits from the economic basket so as to generalize and create new problems and offer proof for his unique new Laws of Economics.

And as an historical summary:

Ending those old-fashioned recessions was easy because all the Fed had to do was relent. Ending modern slumps is much more difficult because the economy needs to find something to replace the burst bubble.

This is about the phoniest essay on economics I have ever read. Markets self-correct and any changes in the normal swings in market levels are grand opportunities for leftists to drool on t heir shoes and proclaim the need for new economic measures, translated, as always, as higher taxes and more government.  We can suppose that the 1987 stock market crash was a bubble or perhaps the times when oil was only about 12$ per barrel and Exxon was losing money. When gold fell from 998$ to 265$ from 1979 to 2000 that must have been a golden bubble. Why is gold now $950? Did the bubble unburst? When the cost of long distance telephone fees fell monotonically for several decades then that must have been a phone bubble.

How many troubles do we have with bubbles?

Easy, like the job they had to do for the Jimmy Carter Malaise? High interest rates and lower spending are the usual remedies. That causes unemployment. It is interesting that O’Bozo has offered to increase spending and taxes on nearly every facet of our economy except the military. That requires very high new taxes. We can wonder if Krugman can show us how the economy can expand, create new jobs, save the auto industry, keep inflation remain be low and have housing prices restored to prebubble levels with an Obama economy?

If you ask me, there isn’t much suspense in this year’s election: barring some extraordinary mistakes, Mr. Obama will win. Assuming he wins, the real question is what he’ll make of his victory.”

What did leftists ever do but howl and attempt to increase taxes and spending? I wonder if this is one of the NYT types that predicted that Hillary would be the next President. The NYT did first endorse Hillary. O’Bozo is a racist, a racist enabler and a far leftist. He offends many with this bigotry, anti-Americanism and tax whoring. He may not win unless ACORN and other criminal groups can stuff enough ballots in the inner cities. It is a long time to November Dorothy.

The Krugman solutions to all problems: high taxes and big government may not be possible even if O’Bozo wins the contest. With the need to increase interest rates [the price of money for the Rio Linda and Baltimore types] the economy cannot expand with new jobs. The Obozo theme of taxing everybody with an income above 250,000$ [not enough money there, sorry…] would also knock out investment in new jobs and businesses, the only major source of new jobs in the economy except for the phony government jobs.

The other missing items here include the missing criticism of people like Chuckles Schumer[7], a racist, traitor and social parasite who leaked sensitive government oversight documents on a big bank [Indy Mac] and caused a run. I guess it is okay for Democrats to sink banks. Did Indy Mac forget to bribe Chuckles? One more jewel, but a salient leftist point, is the notion from Maxine Waters, a psychotic racist, who wanted to nationalize [socialize in her words] the oil companies.[8] France has already done that, and reversed some decisions, and so did Britain off and on. These people are economy wreckers, but are icons of the left as are Jesse Jackson, Al Gore the ‘scientist’[9] and others. It seems socialism has worked well for Europe and Maxine might be the new Commissar who selects the businesses to be grabbed by big government. The USSR was a howling success just like the Great Leap Backward.

Where is the critical economic analysis of California? That state[10] is going to go bankrupt al0ng with New Jersey[11] and Michigan. Maybe Krugman thinks the Calif0rnicans can continue to barrow and spend hoping for a federal bailout since their phony constitution does not allow barrowing past a certain limit and they will go down 15 billion or more soon. Maybe Nancy Pelosi[12] and Dianne Feinstein can get O’Bozo to give some money to California out of the general tax revenues so they can spend more money on sloth, sodomy, slavery, Asian massage parlors and sex with children and pets.

As usual, no reasonable criticism of our path forward is available from the hand-wringing droolers at the Walter Duranty Papers. There is no comment on the supply and demand functions that govern the oil prices as these impacts on leftist politics. Many drooling leftists cannot believe that drilling and producing more oil will lower prices. The economy needs cheap oil and we have plenty, but the EcoNazis [13]try to block any new attempt to increase the energy supply as they have now done with T. Boon Pickens’s wind machine idea[14] in West Texas.

But, we have to praise Paul Krugman for this bubbles comedy and sharing his erratic mumblings with us disguised as the result of competent economic analysis. This is always fun.

 Grunt and Grab

The liberals will say and do anything to get more political power and grab more wealth. Anything at all.
