Recently, in calling for importing more Somalis into St. Cloud, Minnesota, the Democratic governor Mark Dayton announced, “Our economy cannot expand based on white, B+, Minnesota-born citizens. We don’t have enough.

Today, the New York Times reported:

A Global Chill in Commodity Demand Hits America’s Heartland
In China and other emerging markets, growth is waning and demand for the raw materials that drive the global economy has dried up.

By NELSON D. SCHWARTZ and JULIE CRESWELL OCT. 23, 2015

A thousand miles south of Granite City, Ill., a gritty steel town on the Mississippi River, West Texas oil rigs have shuddered to a halt. Seven hundred miles north, mines in the Iron Range of Minnesota have been stilled. …

Granite City may be waiting, but a chill in economic activity is already evident across a broad swath of the nation’s heartland stretching from the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian border, as prices of commodities sink.

Whether it is roustabouts and other oil field workers in Texas and North Dakota, miners in Minnesota, farmers in Iowa, or heavy equipment makers and sellers in Illinois, the reason for the fear is the same: a sudden plunge in demand for commodities.

The fall in prices for a variety of products, including crude oil, iron ore and agricultural crops like corn and soybeans is reminiscent of the collapse of the technology boom in 2000 or the bursting of the housing bubble nearly a decade ago.

… Sparsely populated North Dakota, where fortunes soared with the shale oil fracking boom, has lost more than 10,000 jobs, with some of its hastily built new housing now empty.

For the farm belt, which largely sidestepped the damage wreaked by the financial crisis and the Great Recession, the economic turnabout has been especially sharp. The Agriculture Department forecasts that farm income, adjusted for inflation, will fall 54 percent from where it was two years ago — the third-lowest level since the 1980s. Corn, the most valuable crop in the country, has fallen to $3.78 a bushel from $7.50 three years ago. …

Commodity producers are used to regular booms and busts, but the so-called supercycle driven by China’s once insatiable appetite for raw materials has been extraordinary by any standard. Edward L. Morse, Citigroup’s global head of commodities research, likens China’s boom to the three decades after World War II when Europe was rebuilt, or the Gilded Age industrialization of the United States in the half-century after the Civil War. …

For all the economic suffering elsewhere, the farm sector came through the Great Recession largely unscathed. Harvests were bountiful, prices for corn and soybeans were buoyant, and low interest rates made it easy to borrow and buy land or new equipment. …

“At $3.50 a bushel, if your land is paid off, you’re probably making a little bit of taxable income,” said David Miller, the director of research and commodity services for the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation. If you’re renting land at $300 an acre, he said, “you’re probably losing money.”

Governor Dayton better order up so more Somalis fast to fix the Minnesota economy. That is how supply and demand works, right?

By the way, when Raj Chetty’s big “Equality of Opportunity” study of income mobility by county from 1996-2012 reports that the 25 best counties in the U.S. are all on the Great Plains, such as number one-ranked Sioux County, Iowa (where farmland reached the $20,000 per acre milestone in 2013), he doesn’t get that that’s an artifact of this Chinese Supercycle that now appears to be winding down. In the near-future, some other, as of yet-unknown, type of counties will likely do amazing well for awhile, just as windswept Great Plains counties did over the course of Chetty’s study.

    the american economy –the economy of the West– is in many ways a ponzi scheme…and there is a growth slowdown looming, one which threatens to depress the values of various assets, such as housing…if another crisis like 2008 hits the West, it might change the culture of the West and crash asset prices for good….the Big Money needs to keep growth up….hence their interest in cramming more human livestock into america…gotta have eternal growth…like the shark that cannot stop moving, growth must not die….the ponzi scheme must continue…one more year…purchased by more immigration, which will further degrade the culture of the West…and then Merkel and her ilk will help Big Money do it, and Big Money will pay off such traitors via speaking fees once these traitors are no longer in power…

    Mass immigration is helping Big Money stave off a crash of asset prices…and they will do anything to keep it rolling…the media is of course funded by advertising purchases made by Big Money, so the media is totally on board already. And of course many journalists were already put out of work in the 2008 crisis, and the internet continues to eat away at the media industry and journalist jobs, so that provides yet more motivation for the media to help Big Money get a little more growth via immigration….Big Money will remember like an elephant and help those who help keep the growth ponzi scheme rolling…

    Somali group wants $4.35 million in state money to fight international terrorist recruitment in Minnesota

    ST. PAUL, Minn. — A Somali youth group wants more than $4 million in state funding for workforce training, arts initiatives and after-school programs to fight international terrorist recruitment across Minnesota.

    Mohamed Farah, executive director of the group Ka Joog, told state lawmakers on Thursday that the money — doled out over two years — would occupy at-risk Somali youth and make them less susceptible to recruiters for extremist groups like the Islamic State and al-Shabab.

    Minneapolis is home to the nation’s largest Somali population, but the requested funding would also reach the Somali communities in Rochester, Willmar and St. Cloud, Farah told lawmakers.

    Farah said he wants to keep Somali youth away from negative influences so they can finish high school and pursue higher education

    Hey, B+ white students can be counted on to bring in federal dollars for after-school programs to dissuade them from joining terrorists groups and engaging in jihadis activities.

  6. The younger (under-35) St Paul Hmong I’ve known have birthplaces all over the western US. yet they’re here now. I strongly suspect most of those Somalis in St Cloud will be living in Minneapolis ten years from now. There they have contacts and, at least for the women, jobs. St Cloud is to them what Hargeisa would be to us.

    This whole thing is even more suspicious than most such cases. St Cloud is one of the whitest cities of its size in the land. Why would you choose there to unload Africans? What’s wrong with all those similarly sized cities with African-Americans? You’d almost think they’re trying to keep the two apart.

    Also, this particular shipment was facilitated by Lutheran Social Services– who’ll abandon them by next Election Day– in the largest Minnesota city (after St Paul) dominated by Catholics. Smell a second rat here? I do. (And yes, Catholicc Charities no doubt has invaded Lutheran strongholds as well. Thirty Years War 2.0.)

    I suggest ignoring the Somalis, who are merely misguided opportunists, and focusing your rage on our real enemies. Who are, to a man (used loosely), white.

    "The younger (under-35) St Paul Hmong "

    Wait a minute. I realize Paul Hornung was an All-American football player at Notre Dame and won the Heisman Trophy his senior year and went on to be admitted to the Pro Footbal HOF after playing for the Green Bay Packers under Vince Lombardy, but when was he ever elevated to sainthood so you can refer to him as "St. Paul Hornung"? I realize that Vince Lombardy had legendary powers, but I don't think he had the authority to elevate his football players to sainthood. I think you have had too much to drink.

    " Why would you choose there to unload Africans? What’s wrong with all those similarly sized cities with African-Americans? You’d almost think they’re trying to keep the two apart."

    Well, if we did as you suggested, there is a danger that a lot of them may get killed fighting their fellow African-Americans, and we can't have that. A Somali life is too valuable to lose, so we have to place them in much safer white communities. If we really wanted to see Somalis killed, we would have left them in Somalia and dropped bombs on them.

    Years ago the State Department tried to resettle the initial wave of Somalis to Atlanta. The Somalis didn't like 'the brothers' there and, being an intercontinental vagrant population, had scouts who reported that Maine, with its almost entirely white population offered more value per welfare dollar. The Atlanta Somalis decamped en masse to Lewiston, Maine. It was quite a story at the time as the poor folks in Maine suddenly had stone age people showing up in town.

    I agree, the real enemies are those whites that are purposely destroying white cities with these black buggers. From what I understand they get something like $10-20K per Somali that they settle.

    And lets be clear about these "Christian charities" - they are leftwing political groups nowadays. If they were Christian they would be petitioning Obama to help the Assyrian Christians, etc. They aren't. But instead importing hundreds of thousands of hostile Muslims they've shown their true colors - anti-white and anti-Christian.

    We might as well consider them the logistical arm of the Muslim Brotherhood.

    For some reason, telling black Africans to have fewer kids and telling white Americans/Europeans to have more kids are both taboo.

    And increased corn/meat consumption in China seems a safer commodity bet than increased steel consumption. Who knows, the Chinese might react to a recession by promising, “A chicken in every pot,” to keep their population placid.

  11. white, B+, (m)innesota citizens

    Does he mean that only B+ and above citizens can contribute? or that all (m)innesota citizens are by default B+ or higher? What grade does he ascribe to our brave, new Somalis?

  12. Lutheran Social Services could not possibly do more to help immigrants up here, all for the “feels” guided by a twisted interpretation of the Bible. Their actions area incredibly destructive for our cultural and most importantly our genetic future.

    Normal Upper Midwesterners find it easier to retreat and stay silent for fear of being called racist. So when they decide to unload thousands of Somalis and Hmong into MN, one of the whitest and blondest areas in the country, people keep their mouth shut.

    The main problem we face is the trickle-down effect of mainstream media owners’ liberalism. Somehow they need to be replaced. I’m not sure how, but I am convinced that our current trajectory will no change as long as they have power.

  13. Minnesota benefited massively from the now-receding oil boom in next door neighbor North Dakota. North Dakota was too sparsely populated to handle all the economic activity generated by the fracking boom, so it created a ton of jobs for accountants, lawyers, and other white-collar workers in the Twin Cities as well as sucked away blue-collar Minnesota workers looking for work.

    I drove through Minnesota a few weeks ago. At a rest stop I learned the state’s name means something like “sky-colored water” in the Sioux language.

  14. WhatEvvs [AKA "Internet Addict"] says:

    (And yes, Catholicc Charities no doubt has invaded Lutheran strongholds as well. Thirty Years War 2.0.)

    Dude, they do all this with gummint funds. They are fronts. I used to work for a big refugee aid org., 90% of their funding was from the gummint. They pretended to be a private org., but that was ….gasp….a lie.

  15. “Governor Dayton better order up so more Somalis fast to fix the Minnesota economy. That is how supply and demand works, right?”

    That’s how Supply-and-Demand 2.0 works, Steve. At the national level, we exported all of the industries which actually make stuff to China and elsewhere, but we allowed large numbers of immigrants (preferably 3rd world) to enter the U.S. to “fill those jobs” and make up for the declining birth rate of white Americans. If such magical thinking can work at the national level, then surely it can work at the state level, especially in such an advanced and progressive state like Minnesota. BTW I wonder if those 10,000 workers who lost their jobs in nearby North Dakota can be put to work in thriving Minnesota. On second thought, nah. Only Somalis can fit in in Minnesota, since their culture is so similar to that of Minnesota.

  16. Of course Somalis and blacks hate each other.

    When I still lived in Minneapolis I always thought the fastest way to get rid of Somalis would be to change the law. Make it so the rich Lutheran church wives in Edina and St. Louis Park who give their hand me down minivans to Somalis have to have a Somali on their block or better yet in their house. If their rumpus rooms had to be converted to one bedroom apartments housing seven Muslim house guests their appetite for helping the wretched of the earth would probably dry up. As it stands they ruin neighborhoods they don’t live in instead. The joke will be on them in 15 years when the entire state has been ruined.

  18. Mark Dayton approved a one-half billion dollar subsidy for the Vikings new stadium. As part of that taxpayer giveaway quotas were set.

    Oddly enough, Mark Dayton has not imposed any racial quotas on the team that will be playing there. The Vikings roster is only about one-third white. It clearly doesn’t adequately reflect the community.

    Politicians sure don’t mind engaging in racial extortion rackets.

    That was a particularly stupid group, first to a big black city, then to a little white city. Somalis fare best in metro areas 5-10% black, where they will be ignored as the "good blacks". (Fifty Somalimen at a Starbucks is unsettling, but not frightening. Fifty African-Americans, well… ask Derb.)

    Welfare can only work where the receiving part of the population feels as much guilt as the part that pays-- in other words, homogeneous and primarily North Sea in ancestry. The Lewiston move was pathetic, but at least it was up front and legal. Back in the '80s, the Hmong in Minnesota were caught working 60 hours a week under the table while collecting benefits. Then there are the Chinese professionals on the coasts who disown their aged parents, who then go on relief. (Chinese have First World intelligence and Third World morals, it seems.

    The African scam here is the fake divorce. Dad pretends to desert so mom and kids can qualify. Of course, family relations, as with the Chinese above, are just hunky dory when the caseworker isn't looking.

  21. Supply and Demand: Big business demands cheap labor, and politicians supply it.

  22. I’ve lived in St Cloud for about thirty years. Up until about twenty years ago we were about 99% white in a metropolitan area of 100,000 (excluding the inmates of the local prison). We were fairly called “White Cloud”.

    In the 1990’s, developers with Section 8 vacancies imported blacks from the Chicago and Gary Ind. areas. Previously unknown violent crime followed.

    As Reg Caesar indicated previously, in the late ’90’s, Lutheran Social Services and Catholic Charities started settling Somalis in to St Cloud to the point now where there are about 5,000. Apparently we were starving for the benefits of diversity. Affirmative discrimination has progressed so far that this 95% white area has successively appointed a black police chief, a black transit director, and now a black school superintendent. They are punishing us for our whiteness.

    Unlike the Somalis who settled in Minneapolis’s Cedar-Riverside area, the Somalis in St Cloud are not a source of excessive crime. We’d rather have them than the Chicago/Gary blacks we now have.

    Generally, Somalis are quiet and keep to themselves. The older Somali men reflect a patriarchal society that rubs local white women the wrong way. The teen Somali girls who have been here many years seem to have acclimated better than the majority of Somalis whose allegiance doesn’t seem to have transplanted to America.

    A few months ago, a facebook photo of a Somali girl in a wheelchair suggesting she was a terrorists resulted the Somalis disrupting their high school. CAIR jumped in to agitate the local Somalis. By the way, about one week after the incident, six Somalis from Minneapolis were indeed indicted for attempting to join a terrorist group.

    When a local VFW invited a speaker from California to speak about the refugee program, the local SJWs blocked access to the venue. Weeks later, the speaker was able to give their talk in a private venue. No fireworks ensued.

    Gov. Dayton came to St. Cloud and the local NAACP meeting as one-upsmanship to the locals who were trying to figure out any excessive benefits that refugees receive. Dayton’s visit was intended to keep the rubes in their place and empower the existing SJWs to continue to use affirmative discrimination.

    When I first came to St Cloud from the Twin Cities thirty years ago, I was stunned by the friendliness and trusting nature of the locals. That is now changing thanks to the SJWs who know what is good for us.

    You're describing the entire Midwest, if not the entire mid-section of the country. I've lived here all my life and the area is rapidly transforming from a high-trust culture to a low-trust culture. The annihilation of the manufacturing sector, combined with Fortune 500's insistence on replacing an ever-increasing percent of its ever-diminishing workforce with Indians on visas, is making for a very bitter, very disconnected society.

    Let me add, when it comes to corporate America, the real enemies are the whites who are purposefully reducing the percent of their workforce that is American citizen. They hate the competition from middle class white men, they hate the employment mobility of the average American citizen, and want as many indentured servants as possible as a replacement.

    Hum, maybe I’ve got it. If you bring in enough non-whites, economics does not apply! Money will fall out of the UN, the greater moral sphere, or the Great Galactic Council. It’s like a free ride or perpetual motion!

  29. Your racist if you don’t want more of these fine people.

  30. Yes, we have no Somalis
    We have no Somalis today!
    We’ve high tech guest workas
    Whose wives all wear burqas
    Begging to take our pay!
    And now half of Guatemala
    Earns the Yankee dollah!
    But, yes, we have no Somalis
    We have no Somalis today!

  31. “Our economy cannot expand based on white, B+, Minnesota-born citizens. We don’t have enough.”

    But, no need to worry, we have plenty of white, D+ Minnesota politicians. No need to bring in more!

    Mark Dayton approved a one-half billion dollar subsidy for the Vikings new stadium. As part of that taxpayer giveaway quotas were set. The stadium has now exceeded its goal of over one-third of the jobs going to minorities despite being in a state that is over 90% white. http://www.mprnews.org/story/2015/10/23/vikes-stadium-builders-hurdle-goal-line-on-minority-hiring

    Oddly enough, Mark Dayton has not imposed any racial quotas on the team that will be playing there. The Vikings roster is only about one-third white. It clearly doesn't adequately reflect the community.

    Politicians sure don't mind engaging in racial extortion rackets.

    They don't have to be fair to you, they just have to look fair to your group.

    The modern era owners of the Vikings are nasty scum. They are obsessed with black quarterbacks no matter how sketchy the results. These owners only have come close to winning a Super Bowl one time and that was with white man Favre.

    Clue: Israel loves basketball. But Israel has no intention of letting their basketball teams look like American teams. The powers that be in Israel understand the psychological fallout that results from that policy.

  33. If Mexicans are natural conservatives, Somalis are natural libertarians.

    Years ago the State Department tried to resettle the initial wave of Somalis to Atlanta. The Somalis didn't like 'the brothers' there and, being an intercontinental vagrant population, had scouts who reported that Maine, with its almost entirely white population offered more value per welfare dollar. The Atlanta Somalis decamped en masse to Lewiston, Maine. It was quite a story at the time as the poor folks in Maine suddenly had stone age people showing up in town.

    That was a particularly stupid group, first to a big black city, then to a little white city. Somalis fare best in metro areas 5-10% black, where they will be ignored as the “good blacks”. (Fifty Somalimen at a Starbucks is unsettling, but not frightening. Fifty African-Americans, well… ask Derb.)

    Welfare can only work where the receiving part of the population feels as much guilt as the part that pays– in other words, homogeneous and primarily North Sea in ancestry. The Lewiston move was pathetic, but at least it was up front and legal. Back in the ’80s, the Hmong in Minnesota were caught working 60 hours a week under the table while collecting benefits. Then there are the Chinese professionals on the coasts who disown their aged parents, who then go on relief. (Chinese have First World intelligence and Third World morals, it seems.

    The African scam here is the fake divorce. Dad pretends to desert so mom and kids can qualify. Of course, family relations, as with the Chinese above, are just hunky dory when the caseworker isn’t looking.

    You can find the report that the Social Security Administration just released right here. The following are some of the numbers that really stood out for me…

    -38 percent of all American workers made less than $20,000 last year.

    -51 percent of all American workers made less than $30,000 last year.

    -62 percent of all American workers made less than $40,000 last year.

    And how many taxi gigs are there in Lewiston, anyway?

  36. It seems there’s a competition to find the most alien, incompatible people possible to place in white societies. Into the pleasant and peaceful Nordic state of Minnesota they fly backward, ISIS-loving, vagina-carving East Africans, who will be a source of trouble and misery to the native population forever. It’s a good thing there are still 5bn fast-breeding Third Worlders out there, because if the nation-wreckers ever ran out they’d have to go looking for space aliens to do the job.

    I've lived in St Cloud for about thirty years. Up until about twenty years ago we were about 99% white in a metropolitan area of 100,000 (excluding the inmates of the local prison). We were fairly called "White Cloud".

    In the 1990's, developers with Section 8 vacancies imported blacks from the Chicago and Gary Ind. areas. Previously unknown violent crime followed.

    As Reg Caesar indicated previously, in the late '90's, Lutheran Social Services and Catholic Charities started settling Somalis in to St Cloud to the point now where there are about 5,000. Apparently we were starving for the benefits of diversity. Affirmative discrimination has progressed so far that this 95% white area has successively appointed a black police chief, a black transit director, and now a black school superintendent. They are punishing us for our whiteness.

    Unlike the Somalis who settled in Minneapolis's Cedar-Riverside area, the Somalis in St Cloud are not a source of excessive crime. We'd rather have them than the Chicago/Gary blacks we now have.

    Generally, Somalis are quiet and keep to themselves. The older Somali men reflect a patriarchal society that rubs local white women the wrong way. The teen Somali girls who have been here many years seem to have acclimated better than the majority of Somalis whose allegiance doesn't seem to have transplanted to America.

    A few months ago, a facebook photo of a Somali girl in a wheelchair suggesting she was a terrorists resulted the Somalis disrupting their high school. CAIR jumped in to agitate the local Somalis. By the way, about one week after the incident, six Somalis from Minneapolis were indeed indicted for attempting to join a terrorist group.

    When a local VFW invited a speaker from California to speak about the refugee program, the local SJWs blocked access to the venue. Weeks later, the speaker was able to give their talk in a private venue. No fireworks ensued.

    Gov. Dayton came to St. Cloud and the local NAACP meeting as one-upsmanship to the locals who were trying to figure out any excessive benefits that refugees receive. Dayton's visit was intended to keep the rubes in their place and empower the existing SJWs to continue to use affirmative discrimination.

    When I first came to St Cloud from the Twin Cities thirty years ago, I was stunned by the friendliness and trusting nature of the locals. That is now changing thanks to the SJWs who know what is good for us.

    You’re describing the entire Midwest, if not the entire mid-section of the country. I’ve lived here all my life and the area is rapidly transforming from a high-trust culture to a low-trust culture. The annihilation of the manufacturing sector, combined with Fortune 500’s insistence on replacing an ever-increasing percent of its ever-diminishing workforce with Indians on visas, is making for a very bitter, very disconnected society.

    I agree, the real enemies are those whites that are purposely destroying white cities with these black buggers. From what I understand they get something like $10-20K per Somali that they settle.

    And lets be clear about these "Christian charities" - they are leftwing political groups nowadays. If they were Christian they would be petitioning Obama to help the Assyrian Christians, etc. They aren't. But instead importing hundreds of thousands of hostile Muslims they've shown their true colors - anti-white and anti-Christian.

    We might as well consider them the logistical arm of the Muslim Brotherhood.

    Let me add, when it comes to corporate America, the real enemies are the whites who are purposefully reducing the percent of their workforce that is American citizen. They hate the competition from middle class white men, they hate the employment mobility of the average American citizen, and want as many indentured servants as possible as a replacement.

  40. While they’re at it, those Minnesotans should go ahead and repeal the ban on first cousin marriage that would put the icing on the cake for the Somali-Americans welcomed into America’s heartland. Either you accept the vibrant diversity of Somali culture or you don’t.

    Sure, there are HBD people who talk about the problems caused by generations of first cousin marriage, but those people are fringe crackpots, mostly.

    Somali group wants $4.35 million in state money to fight international terrorist recruitment in Minnesota

    ST. PAUL, Minn. — A Somali youth group wants more than $4 million in state funding for workforce training, arts initiatives and after-school programs to fight international terrorist recruitment across Minnesota.
    ...
    Mohamed Farah, executive director of the group Ka Joog, told state lawmakers on Thursday that the money — doled out over two years — would occupy at-risk Somali youth and make them less susceptible to recruiters for extremist groups like the Islamic State and al-Shabab.
    ...

    Minneapolis is home to the nation's largest Somali population, but the requested funding would also reach the Somali communities in Rochester, Willmar and St. Cloud, Farah told lawmakers.

    Farah said he wants to keep Somali youth away from negative influences so they can finish high school and pursue higher education
     
    Hey, B+ white students can be counted on to bring in federal dollars for after-school programs to dissuade them from joining terrorists groups and engaging in jihadis activities.

    Apparently, a feature of our Brave, New Vibrancy is that they require constant care to keep from falling into a feral state.

    I guess this is what keeps B+ students busy, so they can’t do other things, like go to the moon.

  42. It would be interesting to gather some solid data on Somali immigrants in every Western country where they live in substantial numbers. All the limited data I’ve seen suggests that they perform horrifically on every social metric regardless of which country they’re in – extremely high rates of welfare dependency, extremely low rates of employment, etc. They don’t even seem to be all that prominent in the traditional black niches of entertainment and athletics (but I repeat myself).

    Any politician suggesting we have any need of Somalis for any reason is clearly stupid, crazy, or lying.

  43. The problem with politicians is they’re bad at Math. GDP growth can be actual increase of living standards or the end result of inflation. The DOW is going toward 20,000, but $20,000 today is not what it was thirty years ago. Thirty years ago $20,000 could buy you a real sweet luxury car and still have enough to pay for gas. Now a cheap jeep costs almost that much. These GDP numbers that go up now are well below inflation. The Federal Government tells you there is no inflation, but that’s because a half point more of interest on their massive debts would have them living in trailers or pushing shopping carts after their checks started bouncing like super balls. If you go shopping now, the only shit you can buy that costs as much as when W was in the White House is the stuff at thrift shops that cater to homeless bums who live on the street. Everything else cost two or three times as much or comes in containers that look like they come out of Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels from the Land of Lilliputians.
    This ain’t the new normal, its a downward spiral that leads to a radical change in lifestyles for the people and the government. Billionaires are buying panic rooms and building underground bunkers for when the people have had enough of free trade and cheap labor and want to Eat the Rich because the chicken isn’t available anymore.
