[Breitbart] Health experts are now stunned by a rise in the nation’s overall death rates -- the first in a decade, and really one of the few in a quarter-century that didn't have a fairly clear explanation.
"The death rate rose to 729.5 deaths per 100,000 people in 2015, up from 723.2 in 2014, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. It was one of the few times in the past 25 years that the rate has increased. A bad flu season pushed it up in 2005, and AIDS and the flu contributed to a sharp increase in 1993. In 1999, there was a tiny increase," the New York Times reports.
This time around, a combination of drug overdoses, suicide, heart disease, and Alzheimer's were proposed as explanations. More precisely, the chief of mortality statistics at the National Center for Health Statistics, Robert Anderson, said the death rate from heart disease has "flattened" after declining for decades, giving other causes of death a greater share of the overall rate.
The Times stresses that researchers find the rise in death rates "surprising," and are not yet certain if new data is only caused by the recently recognized "white death" bump in mortality rates for middle-aged whites. An increase in mortality rates from suicide and drug abuse among less-educated younger white Americans may also be a factor.
The increasing mortality rates from Alzheimer's and related neurological conditions are puzzling. An explanation similar to the heart-disease anomaly has been suggested ‐ in short, medical science is helping more people live long enough to be afflicted by "diseases of the elderly." Other researchers suggest lifestyle factors leading to obesity, hypertension, and diabetes -- bad diet and less exercise -- have increased the risk of neurological disorders. Perhaps we will learn that substance abuse, and other behavioral factors like those driving the "white death," are also bumping up the rates of neurological disease in the Baby Boom elderly.

All self-correcting. The 'baby boom' was a 'one off.' Science and modern medicine now enables us to limit population growth without wars. Those who attempt to evade big pharma and insist on being born can be sold as parts.

The post WWII 'baby' surge is a often overlooked(unpublished, disregarded, denied, ignored) behavioral social consequence of a mass migration.
Consider a sudden uncontrolled integration of 7-8 million aggressive, traumatized returning soldiers with a female heavy population, and all that followed.
[Fox] It is getting harder and harder, and in legal terms more dangerous, to be an American farmer these days, thanks to the aggressive behavior of the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This did not happen overnight by the way. It's been an on-going effort for at least 50 - 60 years.
I know, because I’m paid as a consultant to advise farmers in California on how best to comply with federal regulations under the Clean Water Act (CWA).
Increasingly, those regulations are changing at the arbitrary say-so of the Corps regulators who implement the EPA’s regulations on the ground, even though most practices followed by American farmers have been exempted from CWA prohibitions since it was written in 1977.
In the past few years, those regulators--many of whom admit that they know very little about farming or agricultural practices--are radically reinterpreting the rules to limit what farmers do, even on land where they have done similar things for decades.
The eerie thing is that there have been no amendments to the CWA to make these changes in oversight possible.
In many places, for example, Corps regulators now send threatening letters to farmers who switch from one crop to another, such as rice to orchards, or perform routine plowing. The Corps says the farmers can be performing a "land-use" change that suddenly puts a farm under Corps jurisdiction.

Self sufficiency is patently 'old school' and clearly the enemy of gov't dependency. That which cannot be seized outright must be heavily regulated. Large corporate farms are more efficient and easier to control. Control the banks, healthcare, housing, education land and you control the people.

Zimbabwe went from the breadbasket of Africa to a basket case. How long are the food lines in Caracas today? Can you say 'central planning' boys and girls?

In Champ's recent 'coming out' rant against Trump did anyone catch his use of the word "rules" (his fear that Trump if elected, would overturn the 'rules' his regime has enacted).... as opposed to laws enacted by the congress.

So, yeah, if you can't manufacture and you can't farm and all the other jobs have been outsourced to India and China then what the hell are you supposed to do?
[Wash Times] Former President Bill Clinton told a New Jersey crowd Wednesday that non-college educated whites "need to be brought along to the future."
Mr. Clinton campaigned for his wife in Crandford by tearing into Republican presidential hopeful Donald Trump’s comments on illegal immigration. He then implied that Mr. Trump’s supporters cling to a vision for America that is better left in the past.
"We have been told over and over again in this election we ought to build a wall against Mexico, we ought to stop the Muslims from coming in, we want to do all this stuff," Mr. Clinton said, Yahoo News reported. "Let me tell you, all those people who want to do that -- and one in particular -- forget what the real security challenges we face are."
The former president then turned his attention to non-college-educated white Americans. Exit polling in early April showed roughly half of Republican primary voters with high school diplomas or less support the real estate mogul.
"We all need to recognize that white, non-college-educated Americans have seen great drops in their income, have seen great increases in their unemployment rate, have seen drops in their life expectancy, and they need to be brought along to the future. But they can’t live under the illusion that you can reclaim a past which is just that -- past. This country is always about the future," Mr. Clintonsaid.
Recent polls pitting Mr. Trump against Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton for the 2016 U.S. presidential election show the race as a tossup. A recent ABC News/Washington Post poll suggests the billionaire would win by two percentage points, while an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll gave Mrs. Clinton a three-point victory.
"We are looking at ... the most disliked candidates in a single election," said Jennifer Dineen, a University of Connecticut polling expert and director of the school’s joint poll with the Hartford Courant newspaper, The Hill reported Thursday. "You’re not determining who’s supporting a candidate; you are trying to determine how strongly someone opposes a candidate."

Why does the "future" involve so many illiterate, hate-filled Third Worlders bringing their feuds to the US?

Could it be that they are greeted with such open arms? And what a wonderful distraction and crisis for the peasants, as well as an opportunity for corruption and graft.

Maybe if you didn't have a 'professional' education system designed as a feeder system to only college and universities overstocked with humanities and arts studies (heavily subsidized by the federal student loan indentured program).

Funny thing is, I had gone back to college part time and was getting good grades before the latest round of Oilfield Collapses. Everyone's happy to give it to the arabs and iranians and whisper to me on the side about how we're really kicking their asses while I'm losing my lease.
Y'know what, fuck this fucking asshole dick and the floozies that (er) kiss up to him.

They spent two and a half decades wheeling out the Big Hydraulic Penis of a bureaucracy for anyone who dares try to make a living building anything physically, and now, at 5 seconds to midnight, he wants to say, 'Hmm, maybe we should do somethng to help these people?' Maybe he and his ilk shouldn't have been spending 25 years trying to hurt us, and succeeding.

Venezuela is going to drop from supplier status, the Chinese are working to tie up russian and central asian oil as a replacement, Libya's offline, and the only thing keeping things this low _anyway_ is Saudi Arabia's status as the swing producer. Which the Russians can't afford to tolerate for much longer, but if they encourage the Iranians to start bombing now it's not going to look good for a Clinton Victory. So they need to balance their long term needs with their short term needs.

Go to college so they can do what? Work at Starbucks? Spend the rest of their lives paying off student loans?

The whole Minimum Wage/Roboticized Wendy's argument seems very very absurd when you find out that you can't get hired there to save your goddamn life.

Apparently if you spent the last twenty years working in the oilfield you're strangely ineligible for the jobs-that-are-going-to-be-automated-any-day-now.
We whimsical rulemaking elves

One thing the alt-right doesn't quite seem to get is that a lot of the leaders of the anti-right are lily-white anglo-saxon types who went to private schools and the ivy league and really do believe in aristocracy and inequality-among-people. The John Kerrys are a lot better than the rest of the country at being ancient regime. Hell, look at Ms. Rodham and Mr. Clinton for more examples.
[Daily Caller] Rush Limbaugh says that Barack Obama is has lost it because he is "jealous" of Donald Trump and would "love to experience what Trump is experiencing."
Thursday on "The Rush Limbaugh Show," the conservative radio host argued that Obama is "livid that Trump is so creative on Twitter. [Obama is] jealous as hell of it and he’s angry that people respond positively to it."
Limbaugh said, "Okay, here’s the piece de resistance... Obama finally loses it. This is what happens, no teleprompter, he finally got to Trump. He got around to talking about Trump. He’s unloaded on me, he’s unloaded on Fox News, now it was time to unload on Trump."
The radio host then played Obama’s stammering speech from Elkhart, Indiana on Wednesday when he said, "If we turn against each other based on division of race or religion. If-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if-if we fall for, you know, a bunch of okie-doke, just because, you know it-it-it. You know, it-it-it-it-it-it sounds funny or the tweets are provocative. Then we’re not going to build on the progress that we started."
If the Hildebeest is defeated, Champ's tenure and practices could face investigation and legal scrutiny without the benefit of executive pardon. Perhaps his stammering is justified.

The drive to impose Marxism, Secualarism, Govtism. + Atheism on US domestic order has also led to the US being put on path of PCorrect = PDeniable strategic or geopolitical self-retreat.
Donald "The Last WASP, etc." Trump is popular because many Americans don't believe the Globalist premise that Amerika-now-America will still be a Global Superpower under OWG-NWO iff it unilaterally gives up 1/2 or more of both the Pacific + Atlantic to Russia, China, Iran, + Other?, + restricts itself to CONUS-NORAM + nearby perpheries.
[US News] An Islamic group advised the government of Pakistan to allow men to "lightly beat" their wives, and some women are having none of it.
The recommendation, which came from the Council of Islamic Ideology, a body that the BBC says "advises the government on religious aspects of the law and society," is part of a larger "women's protection bill" that also forbids women from attending receptions for visiting foreign dignitaries,and female nurses from caring for male patients.
According to the BBC, the CII's recommendations to the government are not binding and have been ignored in the past.
In response to the proposed bill, photographer Fahhad Rajper released 12 photographs of Pakistani women on Facebook and Twitter on Sunday that included the hashtag #TryBeatingMeLightly, Mic reports.

Fascinating. And POW camps, too. Not of captured soldiers, but of enemy civilians, which is how some of my German-Jewish cousins found themselves behind wire intermixed with German-Nazis and, presumably, just plain Germans in Tanzania for the duration.
It’s official. Trump has enough delegates to win a majority on the first ballot, so barring an assassination ‐ not an impossible event ‐ he will be the Republican nominee. The Republican Establishment got both houses of Congress and a majority of Governors, but was a miserable failure at opposition. The deficit rose and rose, the budget grew and grew, the size of government went up and up, government workers got more and more pay, and meanwhile the Depression continued. Unemployment officially went down to manageable levels, but only because definitions were changed, so that those who just gave up and stopped looking for employment were no longer "unemployed" and were not counted in figuring the unemployment rate.
So we don’t have long lines of people looking for work; instead they sullenly stay home, or a few joyfully take the dole, food stamps, and all the other entitlements. Most Americans don’t like doing that. They want jobs. But the jobs are gone, sent overseas along with the equipment they worked with, and the economy settled into one of opening containers of goods from China, and "paying" for these cheap goods by borrowing the money from China to give it to the not-unemployed people who used to have jobs but don’t any more. And the deficit grows, the economy stagnates, people get more angry, and many of the Republican establishment long for the old days when nobody expected them to WIN for heaven’s sake. They were the permanent opposition, always employed with great benefits and retirement, and no ambition to be much more. They ran the only man Bill Clinton could beat in 1996, after which the defeated candidate made Viagra adds.
It may be that Mr. Trump can’t put America first, but he says he wants to. No one else even thinks it is a good idea. At which point I conclude that what the Republicans want to conserve is their jobs as opposition leaders who don’t have to govern. Maybe I’m just bitter. Of course for a while they did govern. They invaded the only real opposition Iran faced, hanged the former leader, disbanded his army, set an oppressed majority up to govern after disarming their former master, were shocked when the Shia began to oppress the Sunni ‐ shocked, I tell you. But it was done democratically, wasn’t it?
Any business run the way the government conducts its business wouldn’t be in business long; fortunately they have an infinite capacity for borrowing money. Each of us owes north of $50,000 so far. You say that’s not that bad, and I point out that each means just that: a family of man, wife, and two children owes more than $200,000, each baby born owes $50,000. Sand that’s this year. Four years from now it will be well over $60,000 each. And the debt goes ever upward.
Salve, Sclave.
Mr. Trump is not an ideal candidate; but when we did run what looked like good candidates, they grew in office, and the budget went up, the deficit went up, the Depression continued, we entered wars in which our interest was not easily discerned and certainly was not served. I guess I had better get me a Trump hat.
