The Color Of Culture

Well, this time, Marc Faber, noted market strategist, really did it.

"Thank God white people populated America, and not the blacks," Faber wrote in his newsletter. "Otherwise, the US would look like Zimbabwe, which it might look like one day anyway, but at least America enjoyed 200 years in the economic and political sun under a white majority."

Ye gads! The man actually said something.

It elicited more barbs than fleas on a pound rejected cur. He was promptly fired from CNBC, Fox Business Network, and Sprott. But standing apart from the crowd, we'll look at what prompted Faber's caustic comment.

We'll begin by examining the two Mexicos, one South of the southern border, the other the quasi Cactus State within our borders, and lastly, the white culture.

First, the real Mexico.

Mexico's population is 20 million. Statistically, 25 percent, or five million, will be exceptionally bright. Half of that, 13 percent, or two-three million, would be intellectually superior trailing off into the realm of genius.

These are not small numbers. Backing the brains are the brawn of a smart, energetic workforce jousting to join the middle class. That's a wining ticket, or at least it should be.

But, there's a drag on the Mexican economy: the drug cartels that rival the legitimate government, and endemic political and judicial corruption.

You be the judge. Does Mexico get a blanket of roses or is she just another also ran second-world nation?

Now Mexico No. 2.

There are some 12 million illegals in the U.S., mostly from Mexico and Central America. They cost taxpayers $125 billion/year. If they are not deported-and they won't be-that cost jumps to $750 billion over their lifetime

Next, consider the 43 million legal Mexican immigrants, only they are not legals. Seven amnesties have transformed the illegals to legals; a legal fiction. A horse by a different name is still a horse.

Now add their 17 million children coming to voting age. (Pencil in the blue squares, please.) That's close to 25 percent of the U.S. population. The lifetime cost of that is unsustainable.

And one more distressing fact. The worldwide birthrate of whites is falling below the 2.5 needed for a constant population. The blacks and browns leapfrog over that. Whites in the U.S. will be a minority in 2044.

Summing up. The Mexico South of the border has a twilight future, neither dark nor bright. But the Cactus State within our borders may surpass its southern parentage, supplanting the native culture to a south-of-the-border manyana.

Lastly, the white culture.

The Eurocentric America that I knew as a young boy is fading to black and brown. Am I, then, a raciest? You bet I am. In a time when it is in vogue for whites to be anti-white, is it wrong to be as proud of my race as others are of their racial heritage?

The white race, wherever it is found, here, western Europe, or in the frozen expanses of Scandinavia have flourished to become the most innovative, prosperous, tolerant, and free society to have ever graced this planet. Moreover, no culture has so honored, respected, and protected its most vulnerable members: women.

Besides the diminishing worldwide birthrate of whites, there is another baleful influence.

I joined the Marine Corps in the mid-50s. This was before it became feminized. It is with sadness that I recall the Corps as it was and as it is. However, it is emblematic of the emasculation of our society and its leaders into political snowflakes, eunuchs being ever so careful lest they offend someone, so they say essentially nothing.

The passing of the pale species and its culture should be greatly mourned. It was a historical anomaly that shone brilliantly for one brief moment and now flickers. We'll never see the likes of it again.

Sincerely,

Bob Scroggins

There Are More

I wanted to correct or update your story on Free Little Libraries in our county. You noted that there are three Free Little Libraries in Susquehanna County in your story on Oct. 18 (pg.12). Actually there are at least four Free Little Libraries, as we have had one in front of our house on Main Street in Lanesboro since June 2013. I would imagine you have driven past it numerous times. Our Official Charter Number is 6929 and we are right on Main Street in Lanesboro.

Unlike the other Free Little Libraries in our area we don’t have any sponsors assisting us though we would be happy to accept some.  We can always use more kids books for ages 3 to 12.  I built our library.  Ashley Depew (Susquehanna Community School District Board Director) and our son, who was three and half years old at the time, painted it in rainbows colors.  It is now painted to look like a bee.  It is probably due for another makeover soon.

So please let your readers know that they are welcome to drop by and take or leave books. The library has also proven to be a very popular spot to find painted stones!

Sincerely,

Ed Arzouian

Thou Shall Not Kill

The 5th Commandment of God is "Thou Shall Not Kill", and abortion is a killer of babies. Stephen Van Eck , your mother was Pro-Life!

Most mothers who had an abortion, regret that killing of their Baby.

When mothers see an ultra sound of their baby growing in their womb, they see their baby happily moving! Dr.Bernard Nathanson was an Atheist, who destroyed or helped to destroy, over 50,000 babies. Dr. Nathanson looked at a live ultra sound (a view from the outside) of an abortion being performed, and became so remorseful that he immediately became PRO-Life and a champion of saving babies. Watch "The Silent Scream" of babies screaming when they are being cut up inside their mother's womb! It is very graphic and shows the truth of an abortion. Dr. Nathanson became a Roman Catholic.

My opinion is that "left wingers are phonies". No living person should believe in abortion.

Sincerely,

Bruce Moorhead
