A good indirect measure of corruption is life expectancy. In countries where the corrupt parasitic elites are reigned in somewhat, people who are actually productive are rewarded. This encourages people to engage in productive, not parasitic, activities which then leads to increasing levels of wealth followed by increasing life expectancies. The countries listed above as least corrupt all have high life expectancies. Russia has a lower life expectancy but has recovered somewhat from a big drop in the nineties. This shows that Putin has somewhat effectively dealt with out-of-control corrupt parasitic elites in that decade.
The top 10 least corrupt ranking for 2021: Denmark, New Zealand, Finland, Singapore, Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany.
Improved life expectancies due to advances in medicine are not linear. We are well into a stage of rapidly diminishing rates of return with regards to medicine and medical procedures.
Rates of increase in life expectancy have not been uniform across the planet so diminishing rates of return in medicine can't be the sole explanation here. The gap between the U.S. and a number of other countries has been increasing. In 1960 the U.S. was in the top ten countries in the world in average life expectancy. Now it is no longer even in the top twenty-five. This is not due to a lack of spending on health care here in the U.S. The U.S. went from spending 6% of GDP on health care in 1960 to 16% now.

Total garbage comment there, #202/378. You can’t have an economy based on Americans selling each other gourmet hot dogs and craft beer. Work has to be done that creates wealth. Farming and mining are “primary industries” that do this, but having that alone makes a country a colony more than anything. The most wealth is created by manufacturing.
China’s per capita GDP is lower than ours as of now, because we are living on borrowed time, as in borrowed money. And Rhode Island, yeah, that’s a big freakin’ sample of the American economy, ain’t it?

I can speak about an early 1920s HS public education in a Southern backwaters area. It was far better than today’s college education. So was the HS education of the class of 1946 (last class with 11th grade HS diplomas). I knew a now deceased fellow with one of those diplomas and no further formal education. He designed, blueprinted and acted as general contractor on his first owner occupied house in 1953. He spent no time on a construction site prior to this accomplishment. The house still stands in good condition in a fine neighborhood that grew up around the house. He also designed, built and flew several homebuilt light planes with no mishaps.
The media was much more limited in terms of devices, but far more diverse in viewpoints on most issues of the day for those who could read and comprehend.
He learned dat shit riding on a stolen ATV on the Miami Beach Causeway.

I don't know about that. It seems to me that all the Hispanic countries have a shared common culture that is very easily distinguishable from the USA or Canada.I could be driving down a street in Ecuador in many towns and cities that would be completely indistinguishable in appearance from a street in Santo Domingo or Santiago in the Dominican Republic, and yet these two countries are thousands of miles apart and have no direct contact with each other.However I would know in a moments glance that the street was not in the United States.In all Hispanic countries homes tend to have walls iron railings and gates at the front, with a paved yard, which bear a close resemblance to the layout of Roman homes whose layout I have seen in archeological sites in England, Greece, and Italy. The legal systems of these Hispanic countries to the south of the United States all bear a remarkable resemblance to each other and have no doubt shaped daily life in those countries in the same way that the ancient constitution of the US has done and continues to do.Arguably the Hispanic countries to the south of the United States are the more direct inheritors of Western Civilization in terms of daily life than the US.Differences between the Hispanic countries and the US include a history of a very different relationship between the occupiers and the indigenous tribes of those areas, and a very different relationship between the past which included slavery and the present.The British colonies in the Caribbean ended slavery in 1833 and the slave owners were paid off, and all of those countries have become predominantly black occupied and black ruled, with whites becoming affluent majorities. However it's noticeable that, for example, white Jamaicans speak with a black Jamaican accent.The US is an outlier in so many ways. I don't know what the reason for that is, or if there is one single reason, but it does seem to me that American culture is particularly prone to take things literally.For example religious fundamentalism, with a literal belief in the Bible seems to be incredibly predominant in the US compared to other European nations, to an extent that is only matched in the Middle East.The same literal belief in the Bible seems to spill over in the way judges interpret the constitution of the US, often in a kind of delusional way believing that they can get inside the minds of the original Founders who lived in a society run by gentlemen farmers and slave owners.Hispanics love children and everywhere they go are accompanied by mini-me's. Even the teenage girls are often seen carrying puppies in training for motherhood. The first question in any acquaintanceship conversation is "how many children do you have?" A very significant percentage of white Americans seem to have given up on the idea of having children at all, and the prevailing notion amongst young Americans that you can choose your sex or gender identification at adolescence is hardly a recipe for stable families.There are certainly trans women in Latin American countries, but perhaps not as many. Maybe the Spanish language is a kind of vaccine against transgenderism, because every noun is assigned a gender, and everybody knows that male or female grammatical gender has nothing to do with sex, but that a fork is masculine and a spoon feminine, because that is the way that it is and always has been.Replies: @Jim Bob Lassiter, @Exile
Ironically, Spain’s experience in the Caribbean, Latin America and South America proves the point I’m making. What we see in these regions isn’t “Spanish” anymore (to the extent it ever was), it’s something else.
“In all Hispanic countries homes tend to have walls iron railings and gates at the front, with a paved yard, which bear a close resemblance to the layout of Roman homes whose layout I have seen in archeological sites in England, Greece, and Italy.”– The iron gates and window/door bars are there for home security purposes more than architectural heritage.
“The legal systems of these Hispanic countries to the south of the United States all bear a remarkable resemblance to each other and have no doubt shaped daily life in those countries in the same way that the ancient constitution of the US has done and continues to do.”– Your statement suggests that the US Constitution is somehow more ancient than Latin American legal systems.

The leading academic theorists behind bilingual education insisted that the older you were, the easier it was to learn another language. According to them, adults learned new languages much quicker and easier than teenagers, and teenagers much easier than young children.
Absolutely and unequivocally FALSE.
And obviously so. However I should just point out that it is a little easier to make to switch over if the child starts to learn English before they can read and write in Spanish.I knew a little girl who spoke only Spanish who came to the United States at the age of three and a half, and by her fourth birthday she was quite fluent in English and could tell you in English about how she was learning about a volcano called Mount Fuji in Japan in her play school classes.Her sister who was 4 years older was a little bit slower, because she was already reading and writing and had to make the transition to English spelling, which is difficult when you have the rudiments of Spanish spelling.But while all this is well known, one also has to consider that all of those in favor of bilingual education apparently did not understand what the word bilingual means. It means being able to speak two languages equally well.Anybody looking at the history of so-called bilingual education in California could only come to the conclusion that a significant minority of American teachers and politicians are completely nuts and that American education stinks.Having got that issue out of the way, we might now need to look at dozens of other issues that people in authority are addressing in a similarly insane manner, like transgenderism, for example.
Absolutely and unequivocally FALSE.
Two things in particular about bilingual education (de facto English-Spanish):
It is a taxpayer funded jobs program for co-ethnic Spanish speaking “teachers”. These ‘teachers” are already abundant and available in places like most parts of California, and in places where they are not, the government schools just import them on some kind of “temporary” visa/work permit and they wind up staying here forever. Many get involved in “La Raza” type activist politics, or otherwise make themselves into a local pain-in-the-ass.
Secondly, we wind up with a bunch of semi-literate, code-switching speakers of God only knows how many varieties of Spanglish being spoken across the country. At age 18, many of these Meso-American kids would be unintelligible to a customs inspector at Barrajas airport in Madrid or, for that matter, some airports in South America where some variety of “Christian Spanish” is spoken.
Well, that excludes the judge.

The Smollett incident really put a lot of people between a rock and a hard place. It was inevitable that the legal process would discover that he was clearly guilty, but he was guilty in a way that cut across the reigning emotional and cultural currents of the times. Thus, the eventual legal processing of Jussie Smollett required a great deal of cope on the part of the powers that be.
This is a template we will see a lot more of going forward. The day is coming soon when Affirmative Action will be hauled out into the light for legal reappraisal, and then the courts are going to pronounce it to be the preposterous fraud it always has been.
Then what? Then must begin the long process of no longer treating blacks like totemic objects but allocating to them a slice of the pie that is actually proportionate to their true social worth, which isn’t much. Since our whole society has pretty much been reorganized around catering to blacks, this is going to require some significant mental adjustment on the part of almost everybody.
The process will be accomplished but cryptically, not frankly and out in the open. I suspect most people will never admit they were wrong about Affirmative Action. Instead, they will offer increasingly outlandish rationalizations for why it is no longer possible to carve out special benefits for blacks. Perhaps they’ll even blame Putin for it. “Oh, this darn inflation! We’d love to pay for your scholarship to Harvard, Da’Shawnte, but we just can’t afford it now.”
And even that would be technically true. We can’t afford this stuff anymore. But we would rather say that than admit to ourselves that the whole thing never really worked in the first place. It seems like humanity cannot move beyond its mistakes without a goodly amount of palliatives and cant to soften the blow.

If you have ever had a friend or acquaintance "go inside," then you know it's a shock to just about anyone. Even spending a short time in a "Hollywood" type jail (I do not believe Smollett was sent to prison) means doing everything if and when someone else orders or allows you to do it.
But still, even 2 1/2 months in lockup has to be a shock to the system of somebody like Smollett.
Just wait until some really hung niggra jailhouse stallion straightens out the the right angle of Jussie’s traverse and descending colon for the first time in his life.

Calories. Control of energy production sites, control of energy flows. That decides on the over-layer of finance, what currency energy is traded in/for. That layer is then open to skimming by the few ones in power. That is where “RockyFeller” is built on. Scarcity is the King of Inequality.
Calories as a measure, an indice of energy, is the new currency. Being a billionaire in Calorie(not Bitcoin) is the definition of wealth.

No matter who wins this round of conflict. The war continues into policing that single issue: Calories. A Claus Schwab understands this, Putin and his Ost-Juden does, Xi does as much, the Rocky-Fellow does as much. The real apparent burning issue to them is shrink the deplorables blob.
The indice, yardstick of efficiency? That is represented by how fast the anthropo-sceners(god can no longer be of any help, humanity will have to rely on itself) can solve this hard problem. Nature is sitting at the other side of the bargaining table, it might be still as long as the Putin — Macron table of a few weeks ago, but Nature won’t go away.

A lot a of black guys are confused as to who their fathers might be. But his ain’t white.
Did not know this. I just listened to an audio book about Frederick Douglass: https://librivox.org/narrative-of-the-life-of-frederick-douglass-by-frederick-douglass-2/He had a truly amazing life. He was friends with John Brown, but at the last minute backed out of participating in the Harper's Ferry raid and went on to live for another 40 years. Apparently his father was white. Now it seems to me that the most talented and also rebellious blacks are those with mixed racial heritage. They get their physical and emotional constitution from their black parent and their intelligence from their white parent. It's like the best (or worst) of both worlds. Consider Obama, Mariah Carey, Colin Powell, Condie Rice, etc etc. All the most dangerous black leaders seem to be of mixed race. I lived in the South for five years. I heard constantly about the "spirit of slavery" that still permeates the area. I had a friend who was a black graphic designer, very talented and successful, wealthy, who owned a Cadillac. He had been raised in the projects of NYC around the time of Malcolm X. He made it. But he told me that whenever he saw a police car in his rear view mirror his pulse spiked and he wondered if he would get home alive. He spent time living in London and said that the English are much less racist than Americans. Douglas also spent time in England where he was feted as a national hero. I don't understand it, though, because England was one of the few countries to recognize the Confederacy during the Civil War. (The other was the Vatican.)My impression is that full blooded Africans are much more successful and less encumbered by self hatred than American blacks who still carry the curse of slavery. I lived for a time in a boarding house run by an elderly black woman named Helen. She was a tiny thing, very religious, and she slept with five shotguns under her bed! She was raised on a farm in North Carolina and was warned by her parents never to leave the boundaries of the farm lest she be lynched. She knew people who had been lynched. She still felt fear even decades later. Helen was a righteous dignified person, but her relatives, particularly her great grandkids, were troubled, many with criminal records. If you look at old photos of slaves, they dressed like people going to church. They had dignity amidst their degradation. Today their culture has been destroyed. It's a terrible tragedy all around. I have no idea what can rectify it.If I were mayor of Chicago I would appoint Farrakhan as mayor of South Chicago. Give him money and weapons and let his people form a police patrol. I think the black hoods would fear him and might submit to his authority.

“Apparently his [Frederick Douglass’] father was white.”
Apparent to whom? To you, while some exotic fever of yours was breaking?
https://www.sparknotes.com/lit/narrative/section2/
Douglass was born in Talbot County, Maryland, though he does not know the year, as most slaves are not allowed to know their ages. Douglass remembers being unhappy and confused that white children knew their ages, but he was not allowed even to ask his own. He estimates, based on an overheard comment from his master, that he was born in or around 1818.Douglass’s mother is Harriet Bailey, daughter of Isaac and Betsey Bailey. Douglass is separated from his mother soon after birth—a common practice among slave owners. Douglass assumes that this custom is intended to break the natural bond of affection between mother and child. He recalls that he only saw his mother on the rare occasions when she could walk twelve miles after dark to lie next to him at night. Harriet dies when Douglass is about seven. He is told about it afterward and is hardly affected by the news.Douglass knows only that his father is a white man, though many people say that his master is his father. He explains that slaveholders often impregnate their female slaves. A law ensures that mixed‑race children become slaves like their mothers. Thus slaveholders actually profit from this practice of rape, as it increases the number of slaves they own. Douglass explains that such mixed‑race slaves have a worse lot than other slaves, as the slaveholder’s wife, insulted by their existence, ensures that they either suffer constantly or are sold off. Douglass considers that the existence of such a large population of mixed-race slaves contradicts arguments that justify American slavery through the supposed inferiority of the African race.

“Your bicycle helmet is quite beguiling, young lady. Its sensuous curves, its full, round abundance. It reminds me of the pendulous bosom of a Swazi grandmother I knew in the Kingdom of Eswatini. She was magnificent.”
That’s when the tremors started.

“If we look at more of a preventive campaign as opposed to an enabling campaign, I think it will offer an opportunity to have safer communities with fewer people who are dependable on these substances,” Boatwright told the Free Beacon.
Maybe Calhoun could have though.
Many thanks.
Why has the DS website been down for about four days?
“Speaking of Indians who break the law, they are experts at Medicaid and Medicare fraud; i.e. Indian immigrants have no problem stealing from the taxpayers who permitted them to enter the country.”
Not to mention the contaminated generic pharmaceuticals made in India by Indian companies that evade regulatory scrutiny and are exported to Europe and the US. Some of the horror stories seem to make the risk of a fentanyl death from a counterfeit Xanax made in a US basement lab seem rather trivial by comparison.

Yes, this should be a "living text", and versioned, the repository accessible to the public. That is the real meaning of "semantic text", semantics available to the outliers, the not profiting talented individuals not "made men"(paid for and suicide vested) only.

Can commenters please stop insulting Ron Unz here, for the love of God? It’s childish and off-putting. Don’t poison the well for those of us who come here to learn and get closer to the truth. If you think Ron is wrong, make your case respectfully. We’ve all been wrong before, we all have blind spots. If you can’t convince him he’s wrong, why does that matter so much to you? Be grateful you have a forum in which to voice your views to a wider audience than you’d otherwise have; let others judge who’s right and who’s wrong on the merits of your arguments. Simple stuff. And if you think he has sinister motives for running this site, the place to make such an argument is not on his forum. That kind of illogical aggression betrays a muddled mind and weak character. It’s no different than the immigrants who say America is evil and unjust even as they take government handouts and refuse to leave.
Asians have the lowest rate of being caught for crime.
What percentage of White folks in Maine do you figure have never been within six feet of a real live Negro?
So you haven’t run into a Somaili cop (a la Minneapolis) yet?
No empathy or even sympathy for the law-abiding black people who are the victims of that crime. Instead, it’s their fault for not dealing with their criminals. That’s how they are.

Begin by recognizing that ample anti-crime measures besides government-paid policing are available to poor blacks besieged by criminality.

The explanation for this odd silence, even from crime victims themselves, is that they benefit from the rampant criminality. Living in a Hobbesian, dystopic world has its advantages and may easily become a normal condition of life.
“Where it can better repulse visitors and placate loyal readers who should be listening to the (dwindling) dissidents on the roster writing about and fighting Big Pharma and Big War.”
But what Blacks are doing to America is “big war” too. It’s an industry.
Since the productive jobs were shipped overseas to China via globalization, what’s left is:
– the climate change industry
– the virus industry
– the big war industry
– the Black industry
Just look at the money being expended on the police, fire, ambulance, courts, judges, prosecutors, criminal profilers, forensics, parole officers, coroners, funeral homes, foster homes, hospitals, doctors removing bullets, nurses. That’s just the crime part.
There’s also the welfare, the food stamps, the housing allowance, money to support each child because the five baby daddies are nowhere to be found, the social workers, and on and on. The money being poured into programs to “save the community” is astronomical. Many Black workers getting this government money are thanking their lucky stars for the crime.
Affirmative action, CRT, the “blame Whitey” nonsense is too much.
CUT OFF THE SUPPORT AND WALL IT OFF! Or cut each one of them a check and provide them with a one-way ticket back to Africa.

Bet you live in a nice majority white neighborhood, Greta.
If you think blacks are MOSTLY good people, my not go live in a MOSTLY black neighborhood?
It’s called “putting your money where your mouth is” or “walking the walk”.
I’ve never found any Leftists willing to do either. Their grand social experiments are gifted to middle class and working class white people.
Interesting, your thoughts.
Neither is Syrup of Ipecac.
Have you seen the white "women" that the typical niggroe male hooks up with?
Everyone knows that if a black man succeeds as the next Tiger Woods then he can pick up a white female if he so chooses.
Tiger also had/has shekles.

But at the end of the day, where is the lie in “that’s just how (who) they are”? It is all replicated all over the world wherever they happen to be (or to have been) in any significant numbers, with or without out any current or legacy issues of White colonial oppression.
Is that what they teach at Wells-Fargo Financial Advisors cont. ed. courses?
Fairly sound reasoning, but I have a few objections. First, since when is the Fed concerned what it can legally do? Was it legal for them to hand out \$16 trillion to banks under the table after the 2008 crash?
Second, no matter what the Fed would like to do (or must do, according to the article), it can’t raise interest rates anywhere near high enough to stave off inflation because that would bankrupt half the businesses in the nation and put all governments in default. It might raise interest rates by a measly 0.5% or so in the next month or two or three, but that’s a piss in the ocean. Official inflation is 7%; actual inflation is 15%. To have any impact on real inflation, interest rates would have to go to double digits. Impossible.
Third, politically, there will be staunch pushback from the Democrats against raising interest rates. What little room the Fed has to raise rates will do little against inflation but it will put the brakes on an already slowing economy as the November elections loom.
Anyway, didn’t we read last month that measurement of inflation is changing as of this month? Just define inflation out of existence, at least according to official stats. MSM will dutifully report how inflation is falling even as a gallon of gas goes to 5 bucks. Problem solved!
What is a corporate piece of capital equipment worth if the other inputs (energy, raw materials, etc.) aren’t available to put it to work and the consumers can’t afford whatever it manages to produce anyway?
Not to worry. Juicy Smallbutt is working on that one.
So. There are lots of writing styles that can be employed in the service of obfuscation.
Q: What’s an Hispanic? A: George Zimmerman

Team Rainbow (jews, negroes, hispanics, asians, fags, trannies, and mystery meat) are all united against innocent naive deracinated white people.
and
The above mentioned groups are permitted to break every law on the books (including violence against whites) while whites are supposed to pretend it isn’t happening and under no circumstances are whites allowed to defend themselves.
This is pure gold.
So….there we have it…..the socially engineered ethnic cleansing of white people…..the white genocide that jews will claim is a conspiracy theory while gloating that it’s happening.
Man, I should take up psychiatry. This victimhood syndrome is so fascinating.

Call me what you will, but I enjoy watching two Twana Brawley types in a good old fashioned cat fight over the last bottle of hair straightener on the shelf at The Family Dollar Store.
Not to mention ER visits from ass whoopins in the street by guys wearing MAGA caps.
The legal problem here is that of who was driving the vehicle at time of camera ticket. Until a system of requiring car owners/drivers/car manufacturers to document electronically who is actually driving the vehicle at all times it is in motion on a public road, there’s frequently a way to make a camera ticket case implode in court.
Hell, even I agree with you obwan.

The Chinese gave the whites gun-powder, the gun, rocketry, explosive bomb, compass...etc, etc for free. The whites then used the improved versions of such inventions to beat the hell out of the Chinese.
What did the Chinese say after we gave all our industry and technology to them for free?
Don’t forget sideways nookie.
