Probably not a good word, but it is meant to mean reverse digging our own grave, which we have been doing for almost a century. Wilson got us into WW I, for no reason at all, as it had nothing to do with us. Then, he tried to get us into the League of Nations, but the Senate had other thoughts, and that failed. That was the first spade full of the excavation of our grave site. After the war, along came the income tax and Federal Reserve on the Wilson Presidency, which was a couple more shovels full. He later admitted that he had made a huge mistake with the Fed, and the 16th Amendment was never legally ratified either, but the hole was being dug for our grave.
Then comes the Great Depression, caused by Wilson’s Federal Reserve, which FDR screwed up royally, doing just about everything the Obama Gang is now doing. FDR started public housing, Social Security, minimum wages, and a host of useless bureaucracies which haunt us today. After 8 years of FDR-Democrat bureaucracies, handouts, and shameful waste, when that had failed, he practically forced Japan into attacking us. Japan was evil, and I still hate it. It had raped Manchuria and China, but was it our business? It was a provocation of war, when FDR refused to allow the Japs to use the Panama Canal, stopped selling them scrap steel, froze their U.S. assets, and tried to starve them from oil. (Thanks to Democrats, we paid to give away the Panama Canal). Sure enough, the Japs attacked us at Pearl Harbor, and as a result, Germany declared war on us, and the Great War was on. Fortunately, the Japs, for all practical purposes, lost the war at Midway, when Admirals ’Bull’ Halsey and Chester Nimitz sunk their aircraft carriers. Hitler betrayed his Russian Allies when he attacked them, and he also lost the war when hundreds of thousands of his army were defeated and froze to death attacking Russia in winter. But both the Japs and ’Jerrys” (what Americans used to call the Germans in WW II) continued to the bitter end, costing America 362,000 lives and millions of injuries. If you’re ever in New Orleans, do not miss the WW II Museum, and do NOT lecture me about using the term “Japs,” because that’s what they were always called in WW II.
Those two wars were more spades full, digging our grave, but of course that was only the beginning. Truman had his Korea, LBJ his Vietnam, and Bush his Iraq and Afghanistan. In the meantime, we have had Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, food stamps, handouts without end, and Eisenhower’s Interstate highways, which destroyed the railroads, a million small businesses, and caused us not to be independent in oil. Before the interstates, even Los Angeles had no pollution problems. During the last 75 years, big government has grown like Topsy, and Washington D.C. and its political hacks, have become an economic nightmare and war machine. The Congress are greedy gluttons, concerned only with giving away America’s assets to those who will vote for them at the next election. The shovelers are very busy digging America’s grave.
Around the world, politicians have bought votes from those they wish to weaken by subsidizing them. Just think about it for a brief moment. If you wish to weaken someone, or a child, you allow calculators into classrooms, give food, housing, and checks for the unemployed, just to name a couple of the literally thousands of handouts and subsidies given to buy votes. The politicians have kept or gained office, the populace has been ruined mentally as well as physically, and whole nations are bankrupt. The populace is so weak minded as a result of poor ’free’ public schools, that they can’t read or write, and when governments finally realize their folly and try to economize, they riot. Greek riots, Spanish riots, and Japanese riots currently, and American riots fairly soon.
It takes a weak brain to riot and burn, when the unearned, undeserved, freebies are taken away, but that’s what happens when whole civilizations are weakened and corrupted by handouts, inferior education, and political votes to take away normal human efforts to help themselves. When New Orleans went under water, not thanks to Katrina, but thanks to the Corps of Engineers’ failure to maintain levies, the riots and thievery began. That was New Orleans. think about all major cities in America, and even the world, when numb-nuts politicos finally realize that they have created debts which are un-payable other than with Monopoly type scrip. Will politicians or even the citizenry of the world ever realize that they have been dumbed down, and weakened, by the idiots they elected? When the hyper inflation starts, no one should be in a city dominated by welfare receiving, public housing residents. You know, the people who copulate, bear millions of worthless kids, watch TV all day, and live off of us, while destroying us.
The biggest folly and utter absurdity is now occurring in South Africa. Johannesburg has long been a hideously dangerous place for a white person. The murder rate of whites by blacks is not exceeded anywhere in the world. So what did they do, probably financed by self deluded banks? They built lots of new hotels, infrastructure, and a huge new stadium for the football (soccer) championships. It hasn’t even started yet, but there have been murders, robberies, and riots already, with white reporters, journalists, and visitors the victims. Wait till it really gets underway, and see if the media reports what will surely happen, and that is huge riots, bloodshed, and maiming, robbing, and murdering of whites. Soccer games anywhere are prone to violence, I assume because soccer seems to attract trashy people, but soccer in Johannesburg? This has to be the dumbest idea ever. The default of all the loans which built the stadium, hotels, etc, is as certain as is the sunrise.
Will the entire world collapse in a heap of worthless paper money, backed by nothing? If so, gold and silver will be salvation everywhere. As each business day passes, we get new customers who realize the futility of paper money, and turn to historic, beautiful, tangible money. There has to be a limit of how much gold and silver there is, either above or below ground. Also just as certain as is the sunrise, more and more people will turn to gold and silver for salvation, and just as certain, there will be an eventual shortage, which will create huge prices to buy. Gold and silver will be so expensive and in demand, that they will or could be sold on street corners like drugs, I honestly believe…in my lifetime. Will Tea Party backed candidates flush out the Congress in November? Could our grave be postponed? Can we undig? I hope so.
