Recent decades have not been kind to American cities. Manufacturing cities were adversely impacted by the offshoring of manufacturing jobs. Cities that are destinations for the floods of third world immigrants are experiencing deteriorating budgets and infrastructure and population replacement. In 1960 native born white American citizens comprised 90% of California’s population. Today white Americans comprise 30% of the state’s population. The 90% white population in 1960 did not require the support services that the 70% non-white population requires today, and there were no homeless people camping on the streets. Cities with black populations, Democrat regimes, and defunded police experience mob looting and burning of business districts. Covid lockdowns have taught white collar businesses that employees can work at home and the expense of collecting large numbers of people in office buildings can be avoided.
Covid lockdowns also taught people to shop online, and online penetration of retail sales has risen sharply. Estimates are that over the next 5 years the US will lose 81,000 to 150,000 retail stores and the jobs that go with them, with clothing, consumer electronics, home furnishings, sporting goods, and office supplies taking the largest hits. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-04-05/even-after-pandemic-retailers-seen-closing-thousands-of-stores
Think what this means for shopping centers and for cities.
Cities are not just becoming less pleasant and more dangerous places to live. Cities are losing their purpose and functions. Cities provide work forces for factories and offices. They provide stores where work forces provision themselves. They are transportation centers for people and goods. All of the changes noted above are eating into these purposes and functions of cities.
With so much of American manufacturing moved abroad, with the ability of white collar work and shopping to be done from home, and with the increase in dangers from city life and taxes for immigrant support, professional classes are likely to abandon cities for like-minded enclaves protected with gates and their own police.
Cities rise and fall like empires and civilizations. In my book, The Failure of Laissez Faire Capitalism, published eight years ago, I noted that the population of Detroit, Michigan, once America’s 4th largest city and a powerhouse of American manufacturing, experienced a 25% decline in population in the first decade of the 21st century. Gary, Indiana lost 22% of its population. St Louis, Missouri lost 20% with 19% of its housing units standing vacant. Flint, Michigan lost 18%. Cleveland, Ohio lost 17%. These loses were largely loses of middle class income people.
Authors who chronicle the decline of ancient civilizations could just as well turn their attention to the United States today. In 1950 life in America was safer, more enjoyable, more civilized, and more promising than in America today. Today life in America is barbaric, and it is on its way to worse.
Unfortunately, European countries with massive immigration are on the same path as the USA, the country’s identity, culture and cohesion gone and financial collapse in the near future.
I no longer recognize my home state of California, I’m now a minority.
A massive amount of White people in California are leaving their neighborhoods due to non-Whites from other countries moving in. I’m told it’s not due to racism, Whites just feel they no longer belong in their neighborhood, the camaraderie is gone, not much in common with the new neighbors.
Migrants probably have a better life in the USA but unfortunately the lives of White society have dramatically changed.
Well….informed people know who is responsible and who has completely taken over the country…from USA ambassadors to Hollywood to the major universities…..they have all been hijacked via Jewish nepotism….so the minute a jew obtains a prominent position within any organisation from then on in he or she will hire other Jews for jobs….so the Jews power grows exponentially….until lo and behold almost all people within the organisation are Jews save for token minorities.
This is precisely what has happened with diplomatic posts abroad….the vast majority are Jews,many of whom are crypto Jews like Joe Biden and Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton
If Christian, Americans would not have tried to worship God and Mammon. They, of course, only worshipped the latter. The poor were attracted to the smell.
‘Decline’ has to be the understatement of the century. It’s not decline, it’s collapse.
ANOTHER BBC PERVERT
The homosexual magazine ” Gayboy” has a good article this month
on the joys of being pissed on.
Its being renamed Schofielding, after one of its most famous exponents
the jew Philip Schofield.
Apparently the BBC hid up the fact that he was texting and phoning
scores of teenage black boys to come piss on him.
Personally i think he should have been sacked
and its beyond me who a welthy jew would pay black street boys to go piss on him ?
Such things will remain a mystery i guess
The very word, “civilization,” is an oxymoron, because you can’t have it in a city.
I DON CARE
when blacks take over governments + cities that would be a decline
in power in foreign politics therefore less wars outside but the state +
cities would decline . i dont care , everyone harvest what he sowed !
Ted… It’s the same around the world. Even an elite business school I know in a Muslim country, funded by the local central bank, is headed and predominantly staffed by Jewish faculty from US, UK and N
Europe.
Some of them are really mediocre, yet draw six-figure salaries plus generous allowances as well as research grants and other budgets. The doors just magically swing open, wherever they go. Red-carpet treatment all the way. And most of them are convinced that they earned it; that they got where they are on merit; and that hey, everyone else has the same opportunities and is welcome to apply! Staggering arrogance.
Eastern Europe isn’t much different. NGOs, the professions, finance, politics, diplomacy… Not to mention anything that’s connected to the media. The acting profession in the Czech Republic, for example, is about 97% dominated (that’s a conservative estimate), and has been since 100 years ago.
If PCR ever bothered to read the Protocols of Zion, he’d have known about this a long time ago. What’s happening now is that we are nearing the completion of the Protocols’ goals.
But as usual, PCR fails to mention the jew behind all of this. He plays the part of gatekeeper well. What do you expect? He is an ex politician after all.
IMHO America, is quickly becoming Haiti ….
I left London years back as I no longer identified with the people and culture that were replacing mine. The only logic I could see in Britain’s immigration policies is that they were designed to over burden and contribute towards a collapse. The British Government allowed countless people to come here from countries where life is cheap and some who feel it’s okay to rape and murder, take whatever they want. I feel that maybe partly why they fled here, under threat of death from their own countries judicial system. Britain has gone from being a country where you could leave your home unlocked to being one where you have to remove all valuables from yourself before nipping down to the local shops. And so another 100 year economic cycle comes to an end, with the usual pattern, hunger illness and death for many who contributed to building the economy for the elite to strip.
Understanding why America is collapsing – physically, politically, culturally, morally, is easy to understand. It has simply been hijacked by East European Jews.
This process began under Theodore Roosevelt, who became President because of the mysterious assassination of William McKinley. Roosevelt, like Biden today, opened the floodgates to allow millions of East European Jews into the country. Very soon after, this restless, aggressive and incredibly cohesive minority spread out from places like New York’s lower east side and into American colleges and universities. From there, they invaded American finance, stock exchanges, media, entertainment and legal institutions. Then, under Franklin Roosevelt, they penetrated government and in only a few short years accomplished the incredible – they steered a weak, sheltered and uninformed President into a major war to overthrow the one state that constituted a threat to their increasing dominance – National Socialist Germany.
The war against Japan was merely a sideshow to the conflict’s other purposes – to protect and expand the Jewish Soviet Union, establish the state of Israel and increase American (now Jewish) financial, political and military power. Young and brainwashed American boys willingly went to war against a kindred state that posed no threat to them or their country and for reasons they either didn’t know or understand.
They even thought of Stalin as ‘Uncle Joe’.
At the behest of the Jewish overlords, they murdered innocent German civilians by the millions, starved and mistreated German prisoners, raped and pillaged and bombed to dust the cities and churches of a great western nation. They even celebrated the trial and execution of German leaders, a trial that made a mockery of their own century-old laws all for the sake of their new masters who demanded an eye for an eye.
Several decades later, this aggressive and ruthless minority was able to agitate and then unleash millions of blacks against the Christian whites who had spilt so much blood to protect them. And liberated Blacks, reverting to their own proclivities, proceeded to burn down cities, loot and murder to blackmail Jewish controlled politicians into giving them more government support, subsidies, preferential treatment, welfare benefits and public sector jobs.
And now, today, the process is on-going. The whites continue to be displaced, deprived of protection guaranteed by the constitution, not allowed to speak freely, associate freely nor in any way defend their own vital interests. Only minority interests count and the only ‘privilege’ allowed is Jewish privilege.
The propaganda too is on-going, virtually endless – one ‘holocaust’ movie after another, television programs extolling and praising blacks and belittling whites, school curricula designed not to educate but indoctrinate, ‘hate crime’ legislation to stifle and persecute those who object, Jewish run-social media platforms to ostracize and destroy lives and careers.
Where will it end? America, like the old Soviet Union, will crumble someday, that is almost axiomatic and the blow-back could very well unleash forces that could prove to be very unexpected and very ugly for a lot of people.
Red Ice alluded to the good news–we are in a phase where the Whites who believe the Jew gov. are suiciding themselves out of existence while the politically strong go and have big families, so this is a weeding-out phase.
ITS JEWISH SUPREMACY !

in medias, in entertainment, in banks, in
corporations, in courts, in estates broking,
