We Are Doomed

The show was recorded while the usual suspects were starting yet another war in the Middle East, this time with Iran. At this point it is hard to know where it leads, but we know Trump is powerless to do anything about it. It is sadly clear over the last three administrations that no White House runs foreign policy. The important decisions are made by people outside the political system.

That is why war is on the list of things that could bring doom to America. The people making these decisions are not thinking about what is best for the United States or the American people. Therefore, the United States and the American people could easily be sacrificed, deliberately or accidentally, in service to the alien cause. Civilization ending wars tend to be tragic accidents.

Even so, America is in no danger of being conquered militarily, so it is hard to see war as the direct cause of our demise. War could trigger other things, like a massive spike in oil prices that then set off a financial collapse. If Iran decides it needs a regional war and blows up Saudi oil facilities, then we could see an energy crisis. Unlike the 1970’s, an energy crisis today could trigger collapse.

That is the show for this Friday the 13th. I go through the possible end times scenarios and rank them on a scale of one to ten. A bit of a spoiler, but war is pretty far down the list of possible doomsday scenarios. It could be a triggering event that eventually leads to one of the other items on the list, but war itself is not a likely end for us. The most likely cause of our doom is, well, you will just have to listen.

It’s pretty easy to predict what will spell our doom: debt and demographics. White women march in the streets for the right to kill unborn babies rather than reproduce the white race. The white birthrate is below replacement level in every Western nation. The U.S. is also $37 trillion in debt. To put that in perspective, the national debt was only $5 trillion in 2000. Even a Trump administration and a Republican Congress cannot avoid adding trillions to the debt, DOGE notwithstanding. The aging and feminized population will demand a high level of government services and the maintenance of a… Read more »

Millennial childless women will put the finishing touches on the US. They have already begun, in that they occupy so many political positions and executive positions now (mayor of Boston, for example), but as they age, they will simply take what they want from the cash drawer of government out of spite and anger at life. No children, no real reason for them to care about the future by their nature…

The migrant housing and real estate in general is a good illustration of this. There are multiple forces intent on not letting the bubble of real estate value collapse. Some of these are investment firms, but a lot of it is elderly people who have vested their equity in property value. The reason property is expensive is because we have a supply/demand problem. We’re importing people faster than we can build houses. There will be insane demands that we relocate 1/5 of India to our shores before these groups tolerate the fact that the real value of their property will… Read more »

As the Boomers die off, the housing supply at least in theory will increase, no? And those with assets outside of real estate should be able to acquire it.

The people who are importing the migrants to pay them rent are short-sighted and either don’t believe that their efforts to loot wealth will lead to the US becoming Brazil or that they’ll be insulated enough from the consequences. The boomer sunset is why many nations like Canada and Australia are taking in “safer” migrant populations like Indians and Chinese. Their economic scheming is a little less noticeable than a Haitian welfare town in Ohio.

The entire system is hooked on endless mass migration and population increases. There won’t be any housing shortages or even any significant change of policy – see NYC where hundreds of thousands of people, mostly wage-earning, law-abiding, taxpaying citizens, left and were replaced by illiterate migrants. What do I see in NYC publications a year later – “NYC’s population back to pre-coof levels”, “migration saves NYC schools with increased funding”, etc.

Smaller and boutique ones already have, they moved to Florida. Yet NYC, in spite of all its problems, and the disastrous and spiteful management of it, and the fact that it is much degraded in the past 5 years, still has a lot to offer the upwardly mobile and wealthy. You walk around midtown on a nice day and it’s still quite pleasant and the art, restaurant, cultural scene is still there. So it continues to draw people in. Rents are still going up. It’s not collapsing yet.

Certainly we are importing people faster than we build housing. However that’s only one factor. Housing building costs have risen as well. Well beyond the corresponding rise in wages. All part of the increasing “haves and have nots” and the hollowing out of the once vaunted middle class. So we have increased inflation, increased mortgage rates, flat wages—failure to keep up with inflation, student debt repayment, and stricter mortgage loan requirements. Here’s a statistic I recently read. The average age of a first time home buyer in the early 80’s was 29. The average age of first time home purchase… Read more »

There are a lot of boomers with no grandchildren. My father is one of the few of his friends and coworkers who has grandchildren (my personal contribution in the war against attrition). Women don’t want kids until it’s too late, generally. I believe a lot of that is hormonal due to birth control and suppresses natural family-creation urges.

How many of them will be left in place like defunct windmills?

This country no longer takes a rational problem solving approach to anything except the “problem” of how to funnel more money into the pockets of the oligarchs and their corporations. The need for additional nuclear power and the futility of the “Green New Deal” is obvious from the physics of power generation and the diffuse nature of solar energy inputs. Until recently though this was ignored and screaming numerically illiterate women and soyboys were allowed to dominate the discussion of energy policy. Now it’s OK to look at reality because it benefits the insiders. I wouldn’t get too hopeful though.… Read more »

I don’t disagree with your analysis of push/pull to get away from rif-raf and the resulting effect on housing prices. I do disagree on your slighting regulation costs. Of course, much variation exists across the country, but a vague question posed to ChatGPT yields the following: ”Regulations—including zoning, building codes, permits, impact fees, energy mandates, and delays—are widely estimated to add 20–30% to the cost of a new single-family home in the U.S.” That’s not trivial, and in my example from my burg would easily account for the mismatch between median home price and median household income not being able… Read more »

There are lots of places like around here in Oregon, where the land use laws make the idea of “market forces” in housing totally absurd. The only forces that matter are the various insiders who decide just how big the housing shortage will be and where a few token new homes will be allowed to be built. Once you add in the totally politically controlled influx of foreign trash you can see that the local housing market is just a crooked casino where the only way to win at the card tables is to know the dealer.

Abortions are for women too stupid or too insouciant to take birth control. Most white women are more or less intelligent enough to take birth control, so from a demographic perspective the problem is not abortion, it’s birth control.

I’ve never bought into the dissident-right argument that abortion is good because it’s mostly Negroes and Democrats having abortions. Personally I think it’s a moral outrage, but completely aside from that, even white women who do not have abortions do not produce enough white babies.

Israel and Iran have been at war since 1979. There was just no formal declaration. That is a 19th/20th Century conceit.

Beginning to look like the Judge Nap crowd (“Oh, Israel is REALLY gonna get it now! Iran has thousands of missiles!”) was just fearmongering to scare old people into buying gold.

Israel clearly can do what it wants and no one in the region can, or will stop it. They have nukes, they have a superpower who will back it in the UN, and have no hesitation killing anyone of any military or political rank anywhere without warning.

Resist the urge to care. This is more slop.

In the best tradition of pro wrestling, it’s all kayfabe.This is confirmed by the revelation Trump’s spat with Bibi was fake, as were the negotiations. It was all designed to get Iran to lower its guard in preparation for the strike.

Agreed.

But if Iran “lowered it’s guard” to talk to Trump, they deserve what’s coming.

America is not to be trusted.

Nor, is Israel. (who has the Epstein files, nukes, sophisticated cyber offensive capabilities and ICBMs capable of hitting the continental US.)

there are myriad possible reasons for population collapse, and they have different implications (re: Dennis Reynolds).

  1. females choosing not to have kids for personal reasons
  2. environmental contamination inhibiting reproduction
  3. economic issues inhibiting desire for kids
  4. governmental interference (ala CCP one child policy)

what it comes down to, are people being prevented in some way, or are they choosing no kids for some reason.

and of course all the enumerated reasons can be in effect simultaneously.

A common saying since at least 2014 is that white people don’t breed in captivity. A lot of people blame affluence for the dearth of young families, but that doesn’t track based off historical data. Coming hot off WWII, America was at one of its most affluent periods. What did we get? A baby boom. During Trump’s first term there was a baby boom. This one will likely result in one as well. Most people don’t want to start a family during uncertain times. That’s compounded with the talking points about it being “irresponsible” to have kids before your life… Read more »

One can pull an endless parade of horribles from the (unknown) future. That is not a rebuttal, just contradiction. The fracturing of the nation I assume has a purpose and my assumptions is that it will be from internal forces and designed to reduce internal problems. If one of those is race, then there will be no more imports of differing races as that was the problem in the first place and the “new” nation will center itself around laws and custom to prevent recurrence.

Not just in this attack, but the way they worked to ensure that the Republicans would not support any realistic or possible deal.

If surplus people are a danger with the advent of AI and the likelihood of a bright, disgruntled and large unemployed contingent, isn’t a population collapse a good thing in that narrow regard? Maybe there aren’t as many people around to pay off the debt, but there are also fewer useless eaters to ravage the public weal. As you point out, civilizations tend to emerge stronger from population declines. I don’t see population collapse necessarily as a paramount problem, with one major exception: the lack of manpower to fight back invasions from places without population collapse, almost exclusively Sub-Saharan Africa.… Read more »

Evolution is fast. Yes, change through breeding, mutation, and genetics is mathematically too slow to work, but genetics don’t happen in a controlled environment.

That’s what Darwin saw off the collapsed coast of Chile- it was that the environment changes, often quickly or even catatrophically. Evolution’s markers measure the change in the physical conditions, and the adaptation to those changes.

Genetics are memory in the flesh, the surviving remembrance of past places.
Each face shows the climate conditions of 10,000 years ago; this tells us that souls, too, are long-lasting memory embedded in a different substrate.

I have long argued that the collapse is the cure, and therefore is not to be feared but embraced. Nothing changes until the environment changes, and the models clearly predict that only a world war or global societal collapse can bring about the necessary macro-motivation for serious remedy to commerce. World war means nuclear war and that equates with a colony collapse scenario; not good! The alternative is a return of real hardship and competition-based culling; only the smart and strong shall prevail. Be the latter.

After October 7th, Israel has been progressively DONE with all its enemies, finally realizing that none of them – Hamas, Assad, Iran, Hezbollah, etc. – have the slightest interest in peace and serious negotiations.

There are still around 20 living Israeli hostages still held in Gaza, coming up to 2 years after October 7. Why should this be borne, by anyone?
