The Great Depression then:
The Great Depression Recession now
What are you talking about? Move along, nothing to see…..
“Our Great War’s a spiritual war . . . our Great Depression is our lives” – Tyler Durden
Some depressing charts:
Household Debt-to-Income (meaning how much debt you have in relation to your yearly earnings). Shows how a nation of savers (see 1975) became a nation of consumer serfs.
Unemployment chart. Please note that unemployment is actually much higher- somewhere in the mid-teens as the government does not count people who gave up looking for a job, went back to school because they could not find work, or work part time hours when they wish to be employed full time.
I know the Great Depression was a terrible time in the nation’s history, but at least they admitted it was a Depression- and dressed better.
They won’t say its a Depression until theres a Republican in office, then it will be “The Greatest Depression”. The Magic Negro’s image is too important to the media for them to tell the truth.
And they did dress better, suits and hats and all that jazz.
LOL. Why the Magic Negro? Because he makes jobs magically disappear?
I’m here all day, folks, right this way…
If he were a good magician, he’d bring them right back. Learned that one from Michael Caine in The Prestige.
” … but at least they admitted it was a Depression- and dressed better.”
And had more children.
There is a great lesson in the Great Depression — in fact the most relevant to all who profess to be concerned for the “survival of the European race”: birthrate rises as wealth falls.

KABUL, 14 July 2008 (IRIN) – Afghanistan has the highest fertility rate in Asia – 6.7 – which not only means the deaths of thousands of young mothers and infants every year but also poses long-term challenges, an expert of the UN Population Fund (UNFPA) warned.
Ramesh Penumaka, UNFPA’s country representative, said the average Afghan woman gives birth to 6-7 children and if this trend were to continue Afghanistan’s current estimated population of 26 million would surpass 56 million by 2050.
“If the fertility rates are not reduced, Afghanistan’s population will more than double by 2050; from 47th most populous country, Afghanistan would become the 31st most populous country in the world,” Penumaka said.
Note that they don’t say the maternal and infant mortality rates are nearly enough to prevent a population explosion.
After Sierra Leone, Afghanistan has the highest maternal mortality rate in the world with at least 1,600 deaths per 100,000 live births, according to UNFPA and the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
Yes. A ‘staggering’ 1.6% succumb to medical complications.
What really worries them is indicated by the tags to the article:
Theme (s): Children, Gender Issues, Health & Nutrition,
“Gender Issues”. What they’re after is greater control of Afghani females’ sexuality, for the purpose of choking off the source of new Afghanis, i.e. white people, many of whom grow up to resist Western colonization (“Taliban”, in reality Pashtun tribesmen).
Which brings me back to Heartiste’s Maxim:
Prosperity is the problem.
Look at that second photo. Healthy, numerous Aryan stock living in tents, perhaps a tent. They don’t appear sick or starved. So they had to eat unleavened bread and field strawberries every day! At least they replaced themselves. We are too narcissistic, too self-determined.
Less ego. More babies.
The two sandwich board men above are smarter dressers than most of today’s millionaires.
Sorry for all the comments, I recently gave up MajorityRights and Heartiste and have nowhere else to blather. I’ll reign myself in after this.
One more item though. As if on cue:

The last was just on BBC HardTalk. At one point, just babbling along in the just/equality/change script, she says that the barrier to improving the lot of Afghani women is “TRADITION”.
olzozozozo. Tradition and women’s right are inversely proportional.
Dude, I love comments, go nuts.
