A Statement of Intentions : Facing the Future


A number of books have come out recently dealing with future prognostications. Will the 21st century be the “Chinese Century”? Perhaps the century India rises? Some books project that life in 2050 America will resemble a nirvana, peace in every state and county and a renewed vigor of the spirit and determination that once powered the United States in centuries past.

I’m not a pessimist, but few who pay attention to the financial news as it relates to the United States can feel positive about the future of the nation if present trends continue unabated.

Steady growth continues only in the government sectors, while the private sector is seeing jobs wither away at historic rates without any hope of ever returning. Continued mass immigration into this nation provides cheap, disposable labor that those unfortunate enough to compete with for employment opportunities find impossible given the hourly wage that illegal aliens are willing to work so that they too can have a slice of the American dream.

The continued existence of Black Run America (BRA) hampers all those who are unacceptably white and thus, ineligible for hiring or enrollment in elite institutions of higher learning.

The offensive nature of whiteness will ultimately be stomped out as diversity initiatives and mandates have been incorporated into every college, university and corporation in the United States, in an all-out – total – war on Pre-Obama America.

It is fitting that the descendants of people who made this nation the envy of the world, a country that people from every Third World land strive to immigrate to at the risk of death, march willingly into a perpetual state of servility refusing to acknowledge what made this nation that proverbial ‘shining city on a hill’ in the first place.

Why is that people choose to live in places deemed “Whitopia’s” (areas that the US News and World Report deem the best places to live in America) and flee places like Atlanta, Baltimore, Detroit, Birmingham, Oakland and Tulsa?

In 21st century America, the one unforgivable sin is to be white, an unpardonable crime and act of treason against the rising order, a biological transgression against a world that has deemed such a genetic deformity to be the greatest mockery against humanity that can occur.

Yet it is lands inhabited by these petulant, pusillanimous people – many Disingenuous White Liberals - that the colored world flocks to, risking their lives in the process of receiving a “better” life at the hands of pasty patsies who welcome them into their nation, signing a Faustian Pact for temporary menial laborers but a long-term demographic time bomb.

Worse, Black people do little to protest the deluge of immigrants pouring into this nation, never realizing the threat they pose to the long-term existence and health of Black Run America.

Already Black people are demographically third behind Hispanics and white people in total population in these United States. At some point the Rainbow Coalition that unites Black and Brown against the alleged oppressor will crumble.

Oddly, in the 21st century America, the best minds educated at the top universities are expected to join Teach for America and become Crusading White Pedagogues. Instead of working on innovations in business, science, mathematics and technology, their task for the future is to impart as much knowledge on those who continually and habitually perform poorly on standardized tests (and virtually every other test imaginable and devised to measure and quantify cognitive ability).

Black students who perform poorly on these tests are still highly sought after by elite colleges, at the expense of disposable white students who might have outperformed that individual in all areas but the one that truly matters.

Untold trillions have been spent on scholastic programs and projects to improve the intellectual aptitudes of Black people and these large-scale efforts have consistently failed without any discernible improvements to justify sustained, prolonged investments.

The Bill Gates Scholarship, unavailable to white students who have been deemed unfit to receive such an illustrious honor due to their recurrent, ceaseless burden of incessant privilege, and the foundation that shares his name have embarked on a crusade to save America’s schools. Recently profiled in Businessweek, the entire operation was deemed ineffective.

All failures that blight the Black community originate from one source, white people. If a white person cannot be identified as the culprit for pervasive Black failure a suitable replacement can be found.

Indeed, our friends in Tulsa, Oklahoma blame the high rates of crime and murder committed largely in the confines of a particular portion of the city where one primary segment of the citizenry resides on heat waves. Crime, mayhem and murder – like the Reaper – knows no season but dispenses meaningless and gratuitous cruelty without regard for time nor dying people at The Chicken Hut.

Someone sent me an email recently asking what the purpose of this website is and why it is even necessary? The answer is simple: Go back and read every entry and you’ll find each littered with links to stories from across the United States that paint an accurate picture of life in 2010 America.

What is the point of this diatribe? Well, watching the under-appreciated 2002 film The Time Machine, the thought of what the 21st century has in store for America crossed my mind. If trends continue, it could simply be the one a certain 1997 comedy on HBO foretold.

On the same day that I viewed the Guy Pearce film, the following article from Men’s Fitness serendipitously found its way into view:

Why? McConaughey put it pretty well: "Cynics love to put their finger on disease before they put it on health. It's the easy way to go. Play the blame game: 'I got screwed, that should've been mine.' They're all dead-end answers. For me, 'Just keep livin',' as a creed and a compass, is about making the evolving choice, the forward-moving, life-giving choice."

If that quote made you wince, you probably have a healthy cynical streak. But I can say, as a guy lucky enough to interview upward of a hundred hypersuccessful people -- from billionaire CEOs and future Hall of Fame athletes to doctors and teachers you've never heard of -- that if successful people have one common trait, it's an utter lack of cynicism. The world owes them nothing. They go out and find what they need without asking for permission; they're driven, talented, and work through negatives by focusing on the positives. Being stupid, it took me years to figure this out, and being deeply cynical since high school, the moment was a pie in the face -- with a lead pie pan.

If you have read this website for some time, you might be of the opinion that a certain doom and gloom or pessimism is to be found in great abundance, accompanying each entry and that hope is but an emotion for fools or smart advertisers trying to sell you something.

Wrong. I am optimistic about the future. Though The Time Machine ends goofily and makes absolutely no sense, this one scene from the film is powerful – perhaps one of the most important glimpses into the unimaginable changes that were made between 1888 and the year 2000.

It is my hope that you begin to consider SBPDL as a chronicle of life in one particular epoch of time – though some might consider it a difficult time – that is coming to a fitting and stunning conclusion.

If you are just beginning the journey and have recently discovered this website, I encourage you to go back to the beginning, starting with the first entry. You will discover an odyssey of stories that would shock Odysseus himself and have ample evidence at your disposal that should cause deep thought and contemplation.

The world we live in 2010 is much different than the one that existed in May of 2009 when this website became operational. You will have a guide in the archives that shows exactly why Mein Obama’s approval rating is dropping and exactly why the power of BRA is fading with each passing day.

Indeed, an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal has been published that attacks one of the two foundational myths that helps maintain BRA’s supremacy. Penned by a Democratic US Senator, this op-ed equates to the finding of the Rosetta Stone, an unlocking of a world to millions that previously existed but no one knew the code to unravel it.

The code of course being courage, courage to speak about and the audacity to state boldly what is transpiring in 21st century America.

It will take courage to face the future, because so much seems to be out of our hands. We can’t change the past and for many, the present seems bleak, a perpetual cycle of darkest nights that refuses to allow good news to filter in.

Cynicism and courage are incompatible, enemies that negate action and necessitate sterility.

The future? Well, that remains unwritten. Though an overabundance of evidence can be found to dissuade you from maintaining hope, courage is the one formidable ally that you can always rely on.

This website did predict that the World Cup in South Africa would be a chaotic experience, though a heroic utilization of resources and outside riches insulated that embattled nation for one magical month.

Now, South Africa’s demise is accelerating, though the TV cameras have left after DWL’s engaged in self-congratulatory celebration over a momentary job well-done.

Courage. That’s all that has ever mattered. So keep enjoying SBPDL, and thanks to those who have donated. It means a lot to know that people I may never meet appreciate the work that has gone into this blog.

It is nothing more than a chronicle of life under BRA – a reality that more and more people wake up to everyday. In closing, we can’t jump into a time machine and see the future and know exactly what is going to transpire.

No book can predict with absolutely certainty that the 21st century will belong to the Chinese, India, perhaps the European Union or maybe herald some other-worldly directional shift in Africa’s well-being.

Fretting about what you cannot change only hastens your decline, inducing a state of psychological paralysis, leaving you cynical. Courage is the only antidote.

If you can maintain that courage, imagine what you’ll know tomorrow. The future is coming and it's time to face it without cynicism.

James Howard Kunstler seems to be a fairly interesting Jeremiah, issuing warnings about the dire nature of our future. Whether or not he's right, there is a good chance that once our oil-platform goes, if there isn't a fully integrated alternative energy available, the machine is going to break and large swaths of America are going to break out into protracted urban guerrilla warfare. People who can't grow crops will either steal from those who can or starve.

Life will be lived at a smaller scale, and while that might provide some arduous challenges, it will have some rewards. Imagine life without TV, where the only music you hear comes from what you or your neighbors can play on an actual instrument. Your neighbor won't be hunkered down with the internet and 500 channels of cable; communities might even become vibrant interdependent networks again.

Who knows?

In regards to this post, and your musings about the future and courage, I would like to congratulate you for having the courage to call attention to Lonnie Johnson's continuing story. For those of you unwilling to follow the link, it details Mr. Johnson’s latest two inventions, both of which have a very high likelihood of revolutionizing modern society...for the better. While the World Bank is funding South Africa's downfall dirty energy, Mr. Johnson is re-inventing North America's future with clean energy. I hope that SA is paying attention and re-directs that WB loan into Lonnie Johnson's innovations, if they are legally able to do so. Well, at least someone should suggest that to both parties...

SBPDL, I'm forced to assume (not conclude) that you are either the most liberal conservative racist on the internet, or a clever black man (consciously or unconsciously) craftily subverting the all-to-often paper thin arguments of both the far right and the barely left, and exposing their simple-minded agendas for all to see. I know you have firmly convinced me that they don't have a leg to stand on.

In the spirit of this post, and with hope for the future of all races, I now present this AMAZING case for all to see and marvel at. We have heard of mixed-race couples giving birth to both black and white twins... But a BLACK AFRICAN couple from NIGERIA giving birth to a blond-haired, blue eyed white child?!? Need I say more?

Well, one thing is clear: scientists, especially the racist ones, sure have got some splainin' to do!!!!

A couple of boilerplate themes are now apearing ad infinitum in the meanderings of your black antagonist(s): These being the limp accusations of racism and white “Supremist.”

1)Racist: It is worth oft-repeating that the charge of “racist!” is not an observation of any objective standard of behavior. If it were, then its endless invocations would serve as self-indictments of the very blacks who shriek it. Rather, the plain meaning of “racist!” is to instruct fractious whites to sit down, shut up, bow their head, and open their wallet. The term's primary purpose is to end the discussion and silence the opposition. Though for those who can see, it actually represents the petulant white flag of a lost argument. Whenever you watch two parties warring rhetorically, the first one to scream “racist” is always the loser.

Though obvious, it should also be mentioned that every racial group—practically every sentient creature—instinctively favors its own kind. Every race strives to further and protect its own interests. All but one race does this openly and unapologetically. It is only when whites acknowledge their own achievements, culture, and common interests and threats that the howls of racism emerge.

2) “Supremist:” For God’s sake it’s supremacist, you dolt(s). But to the point, this is a red herring. Pseudo intellectuals could spend a lifetime debating which between a giraffe and a walrus is superior or inferior. The answer is irrelevant. What is relevant is that these are incompatible creatures which are each “superior” in what they are designed to do and “inferior” in what they are not. Blacks are manifestly ill-designed to live in a white society. They are not “inferior” per se, they are simply incompatible with white civilization. Instead of acknowledging the obvious, DWLs insist that the natural environment itself is flawed. Thus white civilization must be destroyed to accommodate an alien culture which hates it. Those who resist this suicide quest are the ones called racist and “supremist.”

Porter, ALL creatures have a hard time living in and adapting to conditions that antagonize them. Over time, usually very long periods of time if evolutionary biologists are to be believed, organisms develop defenses and begin to mutate, adapting to the conditions, and finding ways to overcome them.

The charge of "Racist" is an observation of an "objective standard of behavior." You have demonstrated this standard on numerous occasions. It is meant to point out a general hatred for and derision of a person or peoples based on little more than a preexisting bias against their ethnic background, often generated and supported by nothing more than the often exaggerated interpretation of a minority of examples that support the initial claims. It's a circular memetic (and indeed mimetic) flaw in human beings and it ought to be confronted head on and eliminated before it eliminates us.

History has shown that, when a society is lacking different skin colors to single out as the source of a most (or even all) societal woes, any set of differentiating features, such as height, hair color, facial features, language, accent or tradition will suffice as grounds for the creation of a class of Scapegoats.

"It is only when whites acknowledge their own achievements, culture, and common interests and threats that the howls of racism emerge."

No, it is when one group exalts their achievements over those of another and uses that self-proclaimed superiority to not only oppress those who differ, but also erases any contradicting history in an attempt to suppress contradictory views. Even Glenn Beck can concede when this is demonstrated to be true.

White people acknowledge their own achievements all the time. It is true that every other month aside from February is White History Month. It's a strange notion that, even though you are inundated by and saturated in 'white' history, 'white' achievements, 'white' literature, 'white' films, 'white' television shows, 'white' media, 'white' plays, 'white' languages, 'white' music, 'white' science and 'white' warfare you still find some way to feel that you are being oppressed. I think this speaks volumes on how tenacious the desire to bask in the 'victim' mentality is among modern humans. Everybody wants to identify with the 'little guy' archetype, and you and yours make it obvious that whites are no exception. So does this hilarious Monty Python sketch.

Black Africans give birth to albinos all the time.

And in Africa they are routinely hunted down in order to utilize the "magical" properties of their assorted parts as components in magic soup. http://blogs.howstuffworks.com/2009/03/17/albinos-in-africa-murder-for-magic-a-human-rights-nightmare/

Race is more than skin color, it goes all the way to the bone.

Where my magic albino soup be at?
Bottoms up! {:() {:() {:()

Troll, the baby is most likely not an albino. If it is it just seems to indicate that there is some truth to what the Black Supremacists" think.

Either way, concerning the albinos in Africa, yeah I know about that, it's not surprising how they treat them considering what other white-skinned people did. But it's still fucked up. On the other hand so is the foul shit all races have done to one another in the past. Either way, it's a very, very, very tiny minority of people you're talking about, and it's hardly 'routine'. Stop lying.

I'm not in the mood to look up any heinous crimes right now, but you and I both know they exist, and we both ought to know that members of all races commit them. Your denial about this is absurd.

"White people acknowledge their own achievements all the time."

America and other Western Cultures ARE white culture. They were built by whites, planned by whites, defended by white military, and funded by whites. As Porter so eloquently stated, blacks are not equipped to live in a white society. This is why there is so much resistance and rejection of everything "white" by blacks. Blacks can not survive in America ($$$) without whites so we have a huge dilemma. Stating this is not hatred of blacks, but just an acknowledgement of our obvious differences. So let's just assume that when blacks say "racism" or "hate" they are really asking to be liberated. I say we just do it once and for all. I do not hate blacks, but do wish to find a way for them to live apart from whites successfully and not encroach on our freedoms and safety. How to do this is our problem. Blacks need to be liberated from whites once and for all, but I don't know how that might happen since the population continues to grow out of control.

“Troll, the baby is most likely not an albino. If it is it just seems to indicate that there is some truth to what the Black Supremacists" think.”


And how do we know this? All we have is a newspaper article in a British publication. This whole thing could be a hoax and the child could in fact be an albino, albeit one suffering from a less severe form of albinism.


“Either way, concerning the albinos in Africa, yeah I know about that, it's not surprising how they treat them considering what other white-skinned people did. But it's still fucked up.

I doubt “what other white people did” many, many, many years ago during the colonial era has much influence on how albinos are treated in some parts of Africa today. I mean it seems you are suggesting that white people everywhere are somehow responsible for albinos’ mistreatment in some African countries.



In any case, Albinos’ mistreatment in Africa takes different forms. In some countries their existence is seen as a bad omen and they are shunned. This belief goes way back in the history of the people who believe this; it predates the arrival of any white colonialists. In others, Tanzania specifically, they are killed and their body parts are used to make “magic potions” by skin merchants. This isn’t limited to albinos. It’s just the case that albinos are targeted because their pigment-less skin is seen as having more magical powers than normal people’s body parts. Non-albinos suffer a similar fate by shaman and witch doctors. Hence, in this instance their mistreatment is due to backward superstition rather than anger over what some white people did to their great-grandparents. Practices like muti and martial cannibalism still exist in some parts of Africa today.


Most Africans don't engage in this behavior, but these behaviors, including killing albinos for the "magical properties" their body parts possess, are practiced by a more than a very, very, very tiny minority in some African countries.

White colonialists weren't the first white people in Africa. Ancient history still occurred, let's not forget that. We don't know exactly why this dumb shit occurs. I'm just forwarding a possible reason, I don't believe in it wholeheartedly or anything. I think it's fucked up either way. I just don't think there is any point in trying to use this to single out Africans as backwards when tribes all over the world do shit like this, and indeed, Russians are notorious for their cannibalism (if you don't know about that look it up, there are probably more cases of modern Russian and European cannibalism than there albinos, but I don't think all Russians and Europeans are subhuman or 'backwards' because of this...), and serial killers and baby-eaters are still largely white males, etc. Human beings are crazy. Period.

And it is a tiny, tiny, tiny minority that eats albinos, etc., because albinos themselves are a tiny, tiny, tiny minority. It can't be that widespread.
