Ken Gaudet knows a thing or two about living a life of adventure. He served in the 173rd in Vietnam before traveling to Rhodesia where he participated in cross border combat jumps with the Rhodesian Light Infantry. Then he served with an assortment of foreigners in South Africa’s 44 Pathfinder Company.
About the Zimbabwe dollar and the danger of extreme money printing.
The Zimbabwean dollar (sign: $, or Z$ to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies) was the name of four official currencies of Zimbabwe from 1980 to 12 April 2009. During this time, it was subject to periods of extreme inflation, followed by a period of hyperinflation.
The Zimbabwean dollar was introduced in 1980 to directly replace the Rhodesian dollar (which had been introduced in 1970) at par (1:1), at a similar value to the US dollar. Over time, hyperinflation in Zimbabwe reduced the Zimbabwe dollar to one of the lowest valued currency units in the world. It was redenominated three times (in 2006, 2008 and 2009), with denominations up to a $100 trillion banknote issued. The final redenomination produced the “fourth dollar” (ZWL), which was worth 1025 ZWD (first dollars).
On 24 June 2019, the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe abolished the multiple-currency system and replaced it with a new Zimbabwe dollar (the RTGS Dollar), which was the only official currency in the country between June 2019 and March 2020, after which multiple foreign currencies were allowed again.
Hyperinflation
All four issues of the Zimbabwean dollar experienced high rates of inflation, although it was not until the early 2000s that Zimbabwe started to experience totally unsustainable hyperinflation.
On 13 July 2007, the Zimbabwean government said that it had temporarily stopped publishing (official) inflation figures, a move that observers said was meant to draw attention away from “runaway inflation which has come to symbolise the country’s unprecedented economic meltdown”. In 2008, the inflation rate accelerated dramatically, from a rate in January of over 100,000% to an estimated rate of over 1,000,000% by May, and nearly 250,000,000% in July. As predicted by the quantity theory of money, this hyperinflation was linked to the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe’s choice to increase the money supply.
In June 2008 the annual rate of price growth was 11.2 million percent. The worst of the inflation occurred in 2008, leading to the abandonment of the currency. The peak month of hyperinflation occurred in mid-November 2008 with a rate estimated at 79,600,000,000% per month, with the year-over-year inflation rate reaching an astounding 89.7 sextillion percent. This resulted in US$1 becoming equivalent to Z$2,621,984,228.
“Coon, Garn, and Birdsell (1950), Cole (1965), and a number of other anthropologists have sub-divided the Europeans into seven sub-races consisting of the Mediterranean peoples of Spain, Italy, and southeast Europe; the Alpine peoples of France and central and southern Germany; the Nordic peoples of England, the east of Ireland, and Scotland, the Netherlands, Belgium and Northern Germany, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Western Finland; the Celtic peoples of Wales, the west of Ireland, and the western highlands of Scotland; the Dinaric peoples of east-central Europe; the Slavic peoples of northern Poland, the Baltic states, and Russia west of the Urals; and the Basques of northern Spain and southwest France.”
Fatherland or Motherland is the land of one’s “fathers”, “mothers”, “forefathers” or “ancestors”. It can be viewed as an ethnic/racial nationalist concept, if it refers to an area associated with an ethnic/racial group, such as a nation state.
The terms fatherland and motherland refers to an anthropomorphized conception of certain lands. Fatherland is a translation of Latin “patria” (from “pater”, meaning “father”) and is related to terms such as patriotism. Such terms are, at least in their original meanings, examples of ethnic/racial groups loyalties often being compared to loyalties to relatives, which may be related to genetic similarities. See the article on Racial genetic interests, in particular the section Racial genetic interests: Ethnicity and territory.
Prior to World War II, such terms were used throughout the world and often with positive connotations, reflecting positive views on nationalism. For example, Wien Neêrlands Bloed, national anthem of the Netherlands between 1815 and 1932, makes extensive and conspicuous use of the parallel Dutch word.
More recently, such terms have become less common and are often viewed more negatively in many countries, due to increasing political correctness.
Homeland
“Homeland” is a more politically correct and more civic nationalist somewhat similar term.
“It can mean “one’s native land” or “the home of one’s ancestors.” It’s slightly younger than fatherland and motherland, attested in the early 1600s. Early uses of homeland have the sense of “domestic,” as opposed to “foreign,” e.g., homeland business. This sense of homeland survives today in phrases like homeland security. While the phrase dates back to the 1930s, it spread in the early 2000s in the US with the creation of the Department of Homeland Security after 9/11. The department specifically deals with threats of terrorism, whereas national security encompasses a broader range of issues.”
The Pookie was a Light Landmine Detection Vehicle with Mine Protected Armored Vehicle (MPAV) features developed by the Republic of Rhodesia in November 1976. It was used by the Rhodesian Army during the final stages of the Rhodesian Bush War (1964-1979) for road demining tasks.
The pro-White views and arguments and views are mostly ignored, in favor of attacking and dismissing the supposed conspiracy theory claims and/or attacking and dismissing the supposed genocide claims. While some pro-White supporters may make such claims, others do not. Even if they do, the claims are often misrepresented in politically correct source.
Assuming that there is absolutely no conspiracy and absolutely no genocide, then there is still the demographic changes and their consequences.
Conspiracy vs. similar group behavior
It is possible for a large group of people to behave similarly without being involved in a conspiracy. For example, people from a particular ethnicity often tend to support policies seen as beneficial for the ethnicity. Thus, the absence of a conspiracy does not necessarily mean the absence of generally similar behavior by the members of a similar group, such as by the members of particular ethnicities or by the members of groups such as employers benefiting from increased employee wage competition.
The term demographic genocide is sometimes used to describe the demographic consequences. While mass migration, race mixing, and population replacement may not cause a genocide in the sense of murdering a group, genocide has been described as a more general concept: “Generally speaking, genocide… is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups… Genocide has two phases: one, destruction of the national pattern of the oppressed group [called: denationalization]; the other, the imposition of the national pattern of the oppressor.“
One of many politically correct double standards is that politically correct sources have often condemned mass immigration and negative demographic changes when they happen, or may happen, to non-Whites, such as regarding Kurds in Syria, Muslims and Tibetans in China, and various “noble savage” groups.
Another example is Israel, with Jewish demographic concerns regarding the Palestinians becoming the majority in the future not being dismissed as a “Jewish genocide conspiracy theory”.
White flight is a term for the migration of European peoples away from areas with non-European populations. It can refer to migration both inside a country and between countries.
Even in “integrated schools”, the different races self-segregate. “If a school has only a few minority students they have no choice but to mix with the majority. “When you get larger minority populations, they reach a size where you can have a viable single-race community,” explained James Moody of Ohio State University, who studies school integration. “At that point, students find enough friends within their own race and don’t tend to make cross-racial friendships.”“
A 2006 study found that the greater the education of White parents, the more likely they will remove their children from public schools as the percentage of Black students increases. More-educated Whites also lived in more White neighborhoods than less-educated Whites.
“At one time, “magnet schools” were supposed to solve the problem of white flight. The plan was to make urban public schools so attractive they would lure back whites who had fled to the suburbs. This policy has been an almost uniform failure, and Kansas City, Missouri, is only the most striking failure. A federal judge took over the school district in 1985, and imposed taxes to pay for the most grandiose public schools in America. Over the next 12 years, the city spent nearly $2 billion. Kansas City got 15 new schools with such things as an Olympic-sized swimming pool with an underwater viewing room, television and animation studios, a model United Nations with simultaneous interpreting equipment, a robotics lab, a planetarium, a mock court room with jury deliberation rooms, and field trips to Mexico and Senegal. A former Soviet Olympic fencing coach was recruited for a high school team. There was a $900,000 television campaign to alert whites to the remarkable new improvements. If white students were not on a bus route, the city sent taxis. It didn’t work. By 1997, when Kansas City finally gave up, it had the most extravagant schools in the country, but the percentage of white students was lower than ever and blacks’ scores had not budged.“
More generally, contrary to popular belief, spending per pupil is actually higher for Black students than it is for White students.
Regarding the motivations for the school desegregation, which was an important cause of White flight, one early view was that the US Black-White measured IQ gap was caused by the segregated schools. Regarding this, see Race and intelligence: The genetics or not debate: Socioeconomic factors.
White demographics are adversely and rapidly affected by mass immigration of non-Whites to Western countries, low birth rates, and race mixing.
World and African population growth
A 2014 prediction was that the current world population of seven billion would increase to 11 billion by the end of the century and still be rising. This is contrary to previous estimates that the number would peak at 9 billion. Much of the increase will come from sub-Saharan Africa, which is expected to quadruple in population size from around 1 billion to 4 billion. The main reason is that birth rates in sub-Saharan Africa have not been going down as fast as had been expected previously.
One explanation for Sub-Saharan African birth rates not going down as expected is not considering racial differences such as the differential K theory.
Percentages of world population who want to emigrate
About 13% of the world’s population said in 2009-2011 that they would like to leave their country permanently. The large majority would like to migrate to the developed world, in particular Western countries. Similar surveys in 2007-2009 found that residents of sub-Saharan African countries were most likely to express a desire to move abroad permanently. 38% of the adult population in the region said that they would like to do this if the opportunity arises. For the Middle East and North Africa the number was 23%. A 2017 survey found that at least four-in-ten in surveyed sub-Saharan countries wanted to emigrate to another country. A 2018-2019 survey found that more than half of those aged 18-29 in the Arab World were considering emigrating to another country.
Demographic genocide
The term demographic genocide is sometimes used to describe the demographic consequences. While mass migration, race mixing, and population replacement may not cause a genocide in the sense of murdering a group, genocide has been described as a more general concept: “Generally speaking, genocide… is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups… Genocide has two phases: one, destruction of the national pattern of the oppressed group [called: denationalization]; the other, the imposition of the national pattern of the oppressor.“
The “genocide” argument made by some is sometimes used to create and then dismiss a straw man version of the whole topic of changing White demographics. See White genocide conspiracy theory.
Politically correct criticisms of negative demographic changes for non-White groups
Politically correct sources may have a double standard, criticizing and not dismissing as a “conspiracy theory” negative demographic changes if such occurs for non-White groups, such as regarding negative demographic changes for Muslims in Kashmir in India.
Demographic warfare
In 2017, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated to the Turks in Europe “Make not three, but five children. Because you are the future of Europe. That will be the best response to the injustices against you.” This has been interpreted as an imperialist call for demographic warfare.
Causes of low White birth rates
The causes of and remedies against the low White birth rates are often viewed only in economic terms. This despite birth rates being much higher when White countries were much poorer and research on dysgenics finding that higher IQ and presumably richer individuals now having fewer children than lower IQ individuals with the reverse being the case earlier in history. Another explanation is the large-scale cultural changes, which have often been influenced by Cultural Marxism.
Spiegel Online stated regarding a 2012 German report, that while there were economic factors acting as incentives against having children, there were also other explanations. “For many Germans, establishing a family has taken a backseat to a career, hobbies and friends. The report concludes that “children no longer represent a central aspect of life for all Germans.” The reasons for this development are myriad. For one, societal views on parenting have changed considerably. Fifty years ago, a person in Germany was first considered to be a grown up after they had established a career, gotten married and had children. But today society doesn’t provide the same level of recognition for having children. Statistics show that few believe their position in society will be improved by having offspring.“
A 2017 study stated that “assessing the results of nearly 200 studies say sperm counts among men from North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, seem to have halved in less than 40 years. […] The study also indicates the rate of decline among men living in these countries is continuing and possibly even increasing. […] In contrast, no significant decline was seen in South America, Asia and Africa, but the researchers point out that far fewer studies have been conducted on these continents.” See also the article on endocrine disruptors.
Consequences of declining White demographics
Immigration critics have warned for many different kinds of negative effects from mass immigration. However, such critics often do not mention possible genetic causes of such problems and genetic consequences of mass migration and may therefore miss many of the most problematic aspects, such as the permanent nature of genetic changes.
One example of argued negative effects is declining average country IQ, which has many negative associations. See the article on Countries and intelligence.
There are also other negative effects such as increased ethnic heterogeneity being associated with many negative outcomes such as increased frequency and severity of ethnic conflicts.
