Erosion Of the American Middle Class

We've all seen the headlines: the middle class in the United States (and much of Europe for that matter) has been in decline for years. ... Even when you adjust for the fact that people are earning more, housing became 33 percent more expensive in just six years - and that doesn't account for increases in property taxes, home owners association dues, insurance premiums, etc ... So even though people are technically earning more money, their money buys them less and less house. Medical care costs show the same trend ... Back in 1980, the average amount of debt per worker in the US was 1.96 times his/her monthly salary. Today the average American worker's debt is five times his/her monthly salary. Same theme - yes, people are earning more. But the amount of debt that they owe relative to their wages is more than 2.5 times greater.

 

Rewarding Failure Has Become an American Epidemic

... Lowering standards has become a nationwide - and even global - phenomenon. When schools were unable to pass the basic proficiency tests of the No Child Left Behind law in 2002, educators simply made the tests easier over the years, allowing more kids to pass while keeping the schools' federal funding intact. And, as of last year, teachers in New York no longer have to take a literacy test that many found too difficult ... All this mollycoddling comes at an emotional and developmental cost ... We're not doing anyone any favors by opening the floodgates to the FDNY or even a cheerleading squad. Those given an easy way in end up having lower feelings of self-worth, because they know they didn't earn their spot and have to face those who did every day. It's humiliation - not charity.

 

Postcard From the End of America: Callowhill, Philadelphia

... With Trump installed, liberal, progressive Americans see Nazis everywhere, by which they mean all those who oppose having an open border, or who might identify as, God forbid, a nationalist, but a nation, by definition, can't exist without borders or nationalists ... Nations that stress linguistic, cultural and/or ethnic unity will outlast those that don't. Further, nations that shun their own heritage are as good as dead. For years, I have also stressed that the United States is ruled by a rootless, criminal cabal, and for pointing out something so obvious, I have had countless slurs hurled at me ... As a toxic model, this criminal, decadent and deeply-confused nation can't collapse soon enough. Americans, too, need a fresh start, though they may have to cease calling themselves American. It won't matter much. It already doesn't.

 

Einstein's Travel Diaries Reveal 'Shocking' Xenophobia

A. Flood - The Guardian (Britain)

https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/jun/12/einsteins-travel-diaries-reveal-shocking-xenophobia 

 

Private journals kept by [Albert Einstein] the scientist and humanitarian icon show prejudiced attitudes towards the people he met while travelling in Asia / Written between October 1922 and March 1923, the diaries see the scientist musing on his travels, science, philosophy and art. In China, the man who famously once described racism as "a disease of white people" describes the "industrious, filthy, obtuse people" he observes ... After earlier writing of the "abundance of offspring" and the "fecundity" of the Chinese, he goes on to say: "It would be a pity if these Chinese supplant all other races. For the likes of us the mere thought is unspeakably dreary."

 

Einstein's Travel Diaries Reveal Racist Stereotypes

BBC News

Newly published private travel diaries have revealed Albert Einstein's racist and xenophobic views. Written between October 1922 and March 1923, the diaries track his experiences in Asia and the Middle East. In them, he makes sweeping and negative generalisations, for example calling the Chinese "industrious, filthy, obtuse people". Einstein would later in life advocate for civil rights in the US, calling racism "a disease of white people". This is the first time the diaries have been published as a standalone volume in English. Published by Princeton University Press, The Travel Diaries of Albert Einstein: The Far East, Palestine, and Spain, 1922-1923, was edited by Ze'ev Rosenkranz ...

 

Stany Zjednoczone przeniosły na Ukrainę wojskowe samoloty-cysterny. W radiu Sputnik dyrektor Fundacji Postępowej Polityki Oleg Bondarenko wyraził opinię, że fakt ten potwierdza najgorsze obawy.

Cysterny zostały przeniesione do Lwowa z bazy lotniczej RAF Mildenhall (Wielka Brytania), McConnell AFB (USA), Beale Air Force Base (USA) i bazy Gwardii Narodowej Stanów Zjednoczonych w Illinois. Wraz z nimi przybyło około 150 osób — członków załogi i personelu.

It’s not every day that an insider tells us how preparations for nuclear war have been proceeding.  So, when one does, it’s worth sitting up and taking notice.

Although Daniel Ellsberg is best-known for his 1971 role in delivering the Pentagon Papers (the Top Secret Defense Department study of U.S. involvement in Vietnam) to the American people, he spent much of his 13-year career as a military analyst at the highest levels of the U.S. national security apparatus grappling with issues of nuclear war.

Dear Watchmen,

The Southern Baptist Convention and Presbyterian Church of America will hold their annual meetings in the coming week. In light of the July 26-28 REVOICE Conference promoting "LGBT+ Christianity" in the Church, the question is will these denominations condemn or condone this homosexual agenda to invade the churches? The SBC will be voting for a new president and the two candidates nominated for this office, J.D. Greear and Ken Hemphill, represent the liberal and conservative agendas respectively. Below are several articles on this epic battle for the direction of the SBC and PCA, the major issues at stake, and the positions of SBC candidates on homosexual inclusion in the Church.

Ciekawe! Kiedy to ci wszyscy biczujący Polaków za to, że cierpią na rusofobię, a to że „nie uczą się od Urbana” – a to jeszcze podobne temu.

Kiedy to ci ONR´owcy i ND`ecy przestana się kajać i zarzekac, że nie są antysemitami, ale zauważą, że w Polsce Polacy nie decydują o czymkolwiek? Kiedy powiedzą, że w Polsce panuje okupacja żydowska i trzeba podjąć walkę przeciw żydom i im podobnym? Tak po prostu!

Po co tyle pustosłowia w tym art. – płacą za gadulstwo?

Lada chwila będzie za późno.

====================

Wystąpienie premiera Węgier Wiktora Orbana podczas majowego Zgromadzenia Parlamentarnego NATO w Warszawie z memorandum do rządów państw Paktu w sprawie Ukrainy, jest bez wątpienia jednym z najważniejszych posunięć tego polityka, które pokazuje czym są Węgry Orbana, jakim jest on politykiem, a pośrednio także rzutuje na postrzeganie polityki polskiej, nie tylko na podnoszonym przez premiera naszych bratanków, kierunku ukraińskim.

Masakra Rosji i Rosjan.

Na naszych oczach odbywa się finał ludobójstwa na naszym sąsiednim chrześcijańskim narodzie – Rosjanach.

Wszystkie cnoty: Ekumenizmu, bojów o wolność i demokrację, papierowi endecy i piłsudczykowskie chamy włażące do kościoła czy do studio TV w czapach na głowach, ONR-owcy całujących żydów w dupę – aby ich zapewnić, że nie są antysemitami, wszyscy ci i cała reszta im podobnych – powinni mieć świadomość, że i Polska, i Polacy biorą udział w tym ludobójstwie.

Krew mordowanych Rosjan chrześcijan jest na naszych rękach– będzie za to ciężka kara!
