US DROWNS IN ARTIFICIAL, MULTIPLE, MAN MADE DISASTERS; SOUTHERN US REAL ESTATE ASSET BUBBLE; WAR; 1930S US DUSTBOWL; SIEGE OF STALINGRAD & MORE


I can NOT comment on, discuss comprehensively, obviously, ALL the many factors contributing to what is happening at the moment in US, and, abroad, but, I thought to make a few very quick, brief, extemporaneous, remarks regarding MOST RECENT US events as indicated in my heading above as I watch primarily Gulf areas of the Southern US DROWN from combined man made catastrophes!

I am NOT talking solely or mostly about climate change, global warming, at this moment, which may be only a contributing, amongst many other, factor to these multiple disasters.

But, do NOT forget another, definitely related, enabling, man made ECONOMIC disaster, namely, US RAISED DEBT CEILING sailing thru Congress due to sudden and convenient STATES of emergency!

US taxpayers, that is, you and I, subsidize EVERYTHING, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, KEEPING AFLOAT, LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY, PRIVATE RECIDIVIST CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY INDIVIDUALS AND PRIVATE CORPORATIONS HERE AND ABROAD while everyone else DROWNS, literally, thanks to THEIR IRRATIONAL profit motive and ECONOMIC SYSTEM!

Before proceeding any further, on a personal note, I am NOT and never was situated in ANY flood, disaster, prone area of the country, never will be for OBVIOUS reasons, altho, I visited these areas a LONG, LONG, TIME AGO for a few extended stays, while chaffing at the bit to LEAVE!

However, I am well familiar with REAL ESTATE economic bubbles, speculation, development, expansion, BUILDING UPON these tropical, coastal, swampland, flood zone, low lying, hurricane prone, areas KNOWING FULL WELL where and how they are situated, WHICH, by the way, includes places like lower Manhattan, Long Island (farmland not TOO long ago), in greater NYC, etc.

ALL post WWII southern real estate development made possible by EXPANDED AUTOMOBILE DEPENDENCY AND its corresponding PUBLIC TAXPAYER HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION.

Virtually NONE, IF ANY, limited, public transportation exists in all/most of these southern states, areas.

Those being the 2 MAIN factors permitting willy nilly rampant real estate development, MALLS, SHOPPING CENTERS, SPRAWLING SUBURBAN, LUXURY, HOMES, CONDOS, etc.

PRIVATE insurers, for the most part, do NOT offer flood insurance in these areas for GOOD reason, and, when flood insurance can be purchased it becomes exorbitantly expensive.

But, not to worry, the US government, i.e., taxpayers, you and I, during these "emergencies" ride to the rescue with numerous TAXPAYER funded resources, agencies, "humanitarian help, Homeland (in)Security, FEMA (Federal Emergency)," in multiple ways offsetting PRIVATE insurer losses, footing the bill for INFRASTRUCTURE re-construction so a lunatic, insane, cycle repeats itself over and over again.

Just one, amongst a long list of rackets, subsidizing PRIVATE GROWTH.

The list goes on and on and on, repetition and variations on a theme.

However, in this small post, I thought to remind others by highlighting just a few EARLIER, COMPLETELY MAN MADE, NATURAL DISASTERS, like, US MIDWEST 1930s agricultural DUSTBOWL, for which I provide just a snippet background link below, in case one is completely unfamiliar with its history.

And, of course, WAR!!
Plenty of that!

For THAT reason, I mention AS SYMBOLIC THE MOST HEROIC SIEGE OF STALINGRAD, LENINGRAD, inflicted upon the USSR, Russian people, (and others, of course), in WWII thanks to the COMBINED PRIVATE INTERESTS, SAME PROFIT motive, of those named consistently thruout my many entries AND their most recent INTERNATIONAL REACTIONARY, FASCIST, NAZI, CLONES, COLLABORATORS and their retrograde, barbaric, cannibalistic, SYSTEM!

I can, with assurance, advise EVERYONE on the globe, a US population NEVER, EVER, would be able to overcome circumstances experienced by those in Stalingrad, Leningrad, DURING THEIR WWII SIEGE, CATASTROPHE, DISASTER.

A US population would succumb in no time flat!

So, first, a brief Dust Bowl link to which I refer above:

Additionally, a gratuitous background SNIPPET regarding Stalingrad, Leningrad SIEGE:

Much more coming, I assure all.
