Obama Just Called This "Rotting, Decaying Hellhole" A Symbol Of "Promise For The Nation"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Speaking in Camden, New Jersey, President Obama just uttered the following Detroit-esque words of doom:

  • *OBAMA SAYS CAMDEN IS SYMBOL OF PROMISE FOR NATION

We discussed Camden in 2012, 2013, and 2014... and had a different opinion.

There's this...

 

And this...

All over America, formerly prosperous communities are being transformed into crime-infested wastelands of poverty and despair.  Of course the most famous example of this is Detroit.  At one time, Detroit was the greatest manufacturing city that the world had ever seen and it had the highest per capita income in the entire country.  But now it has become a rotting, decaying hellhole that the rest of the planet laughs at.  And of course Detroit is far from alone.  There are hundreds of other U.S. cities that are suffering a similar fate.  In this article, the focus is going to be on Camden, New Jersey, but the truth is that there are lots of other "Detroits" and "Camdens" all over the nation.  Jobs and businesses are leaving our cities at a staggering rate, and what is being left behind is poverty, crime and extreme desperation.

Earlier this month, Rolling Stone published an article that took a hard look at the nightmare conditions that exist in Camden.  A city that once made Campbell's soup and some of this nation's most famous warships is now a national disgrace.  The following are six of the best quotes out of that article...

-"In September, its last supermarket closed, and the city has been declared a "food desert" by the USDA. The place is literally dying, its population having plummeted from above 120,000 in the Fifties to less than 80,000 today."

 

-"Their home is a city with thousands of abandoned houses but no money to demolish them, leaving whole blocks full of Ninth Ward-style wreckage to gather waste and rats."

 

-"With legal business mostly gone, illegal business took hold. Those hundreds of industries have been replaced by about 175 open-air drug markets, through which some quarter of a billion dollars in dope moves every year."

 

-"On January 18th, 2011, the city laid off 168 of its 368 police officers, kicking off a dramatic, years-long, cops-versus-locals, house-to-house battle over a few square miles of North American territory that should have been national news, but has not been, likely because it took place in an isolated black and Hispanic ghost town."

 

-"After the 2011 layoffs, police went into almost total retreat. Drug dealers cheerfully gave interviews to local reporters while slinging in broad daylight."

 

-"The carnage left Camden's crime rate on par with places like Haiti after its 2010 earthquake, and with other infamous Third World hot spots, as police officials later noticed to their dismay when they studied U.N. statistics."

You can read the rest of the article right here.

And finally this...

America's Deadliest And Poorest City Set To Disband Its Entire Police Force Over Budget Crisis

While the stock market in the US continues to surge (if not so much in China where the composite is back to 2009 lows) as the relentless liquidity tsunami makes its way into stocks, and other Fed frontrunning instruments, and only there, reality for everyone else refuses to wait. Last week we saw reality striking in Greece, where a section of Athens literally shut down after it ran out of all cash. Today, reality comes to the US, and specifically its poorest city, Camden, which is a twofer, doubling down also as America's deadliest city. It turns out Camden is about to become even deadliest-er, as its police force is set to be disbanded following a budget crisis in this effectively insolvent city.

And here are some pictures of just what Dante would see in his modern descent into America.

Shocking crimes: A Camden police officer stands in the doorway of a home on August 22 in New Jersey's most impoverished city, where authorities say a 2-year-old boy was decapitated, apparently by his mother

BIS Doc: https://www.bis.org/publ/work501.htm I can't read very good these day, but in a vague rambling way:

- Debt Service could be called Economic Leakage or Velocity Leakage much like Wealth Being Extracted from USA and Exported Off-Shore. We call this Rentier Behavior in a certain sense too. Excessive Debt service is a wealth transfer and certain to dampen consumption.

"In addition to leverage, the aggregate debt service burden is an important link between financial and real developments. Using US data from 1985 to 2013, we find that it has sizable negative effects on credit and expenditure growth."

The first section mentions Economists not seeing the dangers of Credit to GDP, of seeing Credit Increasing and expecting it to be 'Lock-Step' with GDP. But one chart proves this falsehood. We know the Housing High was Oct 2005. So check the chart from FRED for rise. Even in 2004 it was clear that Credit had risen to a Danger Zone in relation to GDP. Anywhere near 54% would be Bubble Zone and this is where we were in 2003-2004.

Credit to GDP Chart shows we are still in Credit Bubble Territory and how obvious it was.

2011: 55.47615 Percent (Data spans from 1961 to 2011)
http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/series/DDDI01USA156NWDB

But this one looks worse (Delinked to Deposits? Bubble 1996, 1998, 1999):

Private Credit by Deposit Money Banks and Other Financial Institutions to GDP for United States, 2011: 189.51640 Percent,

OCC, Thomas J. Curry
CFPB, Richard Cordray
FDIC, Martin Gruenberg
FHFA, Mel Watt
NCUA, Debbie Matz
Insurance, S. Roy Woodall, Jr.

Believe Household Debt is now $14 Trillion, so FRED Data is actually not yet up to date... So not only does this chart show nearly Exponential Credit Growth, but after a little leveling out it is NOW increasing again. (population Growth & Compensation have to be compared) Clearly chart shows Bubble.

I have traveled in southern Russia. The parts I saw were nice, scenic, good food, friendly people. Not a single homie, bro, gang grafitti, or police siren on my trip to southern Russia. The only good thing about Camden is they sort of speak english if you include cuss words as a valid lexicon.

Where I live is a place we call the graveyard. They move at least 8 mill in cash a week. The cops don't stop anybody going in, when they have cash, they only stop them when they come out, broke & broken. Every politician and cop gets paid and the performance quotas are met. Not to mention the huge tax payer funded efforts to "revive the neighborhood". There are at least two of these in every state.

Nothing to see here.

Very good and fits well with what the Scripture already has told us.  However, as a Christian we do not (cannot in reality) condemn others...they will condemn themselves.  For the wages (something one earns) of sin is eternal death.  God sends no one to hell; they earn their way their and just as they hated Jesus in this life; they continue to hate Him in the next...this is the majority of all who ever lived.

if blacks were smart they would demonstrate for an end to illegal and legal immigration because that influx is keeping low paying wages exactly where they are...low. It also robs legal immigrants of the low class from climbing up the social ladder. But black leaders are content with food stamps and entitlements and think they are striking a good deal with Washington.

Their politicians aside, black people themselves are actually the most anti-immigrant demographic in the country, if you look the polls: much more so than white people. And it is just as you say, they see the Mexicans as competition. Just as they saw the Irish as competition a century ago.

Course, this is all economic illiteracy, but what else could you expect from...illiterates.

From somewhere around the old prison to God knows where, wandered until the sun came up upon a ghost town of bombed out row houses, block after block of emptiness, decay and silence, except for the rubbish blowing through the streets. I still wonder how or why the city did not choose to make one with me that night, there but for divine providence went I. I'm sure it's a paradise by now.

i needed gas once after going to the waterfront which is of course the only nice thing around there.  i went a few blocks off the main way/in and out and wow i think beirut in the 70's was a nicer, safer place.  if you didn't think obama was off his rocker before this cements it.

This has been an issue since 1970 and Camden has been deindustrializing since the mid-60s.  Even the large manufactureres that have stayed like Campbell Soup are a shadow of their former selves and do very little actual production there anymore.  Hell, my family relatives in Hammonton, NJ, used to have one of the biggest tomato contracts and a few other huge vegetable contracts with Campbell but that dried up more than 20 years ago due to Campbell decreasing local production there.  

Basically once the Shipyard close in the late 60s and RCA went the way of the dodo, Camden wasn't able to recover even if there is a ton of wealth right on the city line in the NJ suburbs just like Detroit.    

Politicians in Camden and NJ have tried to fix this through a variety of methods and Camden is probably a bit better thatn it was 5 years ago only because the baseline in that case would be so bad.

Camden is the new promised land? Sounds more like a threat to me.

But Camden has been improving. The 50% decrease in the murder rate (down to only 9 times the national rate) has been credited to switching to nonunion police officers:

Uh... have you been to Spokane?  It is a colossal and famous shithole.  It has had zero economy since the end of mining and logging.  The largest two employers there are the state and the hospitals (ony because the meth trade is not calculated). Despite the fact they claim to be conservative the eastern portion of the state is completely dependent on government funds for it's very survival.  The Spokesman Review always raves about Spokane as a wonderful place to live, that paper is owned by the NeoCon Cowles family who are major land holders in the area, married into the Wall Street Journal and it has zero credibility.

I just visited my friend there recently and I was ticketed by their infamous police dept for allowing my vehicle to warm up in the morning, apparently that is illegal there because your car will be gone in 15 minutes and they are tired of chasing car thieves and this was on the supposedly nice "south hill". 

You can't even make it one block downtown in that place without being panhandled for money or "a smoke".  There are homeless literally everywhere.  While experiencing the WT night life consisting of girls in tube tops and tattoo covered rejects, I had the pleasure of seeing a meth addicted amputee rip off his leg prosthesis and beat it against a parking meter.  Sorry but that place is disgusting.

This person is funny. Comparing poor whites to poor blacks. Obviously said person has never availed itself to mingle with blacks, especially the urban variety.

 

I live in a poor white area and in 9 years I have not been victimized, accosted, or had anything stolen from me by these 'hillbilles', 'rednecks', 'white trash', or 'crackers'.

 

But when I lived around poor blacks such events were common place even in so-called nice neighborhoods.

 

Give me whites any day of the week.

Self Driving Trucks Will Wipe Out Millions of Jobs

May 18th, 2015 

 

Via: Medium:

Robot trucks also don’t need salaries?—?salaries that stand to go up because fewer and fewer people want to be truckers. A company can buy a fleet of self-driving trucks and never pay another human salary for driving. The only costs will be upkeep of the machinery. No more need for health insurance either. Self-driving trucks will also never need to stop to rest, for any reason. Routes will take less time to complete.

All of this means the replacement of truckers is inevitable. It is not a matter of “if”, it’s only a matter of “when.” So the question then becomes, how long until millions of truckers are freshly unemployed and what happens to them and all the rest of us as a result?

 

Take all of these estimates together, and we’re looking at a window of massive disruption starting somewhere between 2020 and 2030.

There's blood in the streets,
It's up to my knees.

There's blood in the street,
The town of Chicago.
Blood on the rise,
It's followin' me.

Just about the break of day.
She came in town,
And then she drove away,
Sunlight in her hair.

Blood on the streets
Runs a river of sadness.
Blood in the streets,
It's up to my thighs.

The river runs down
The leg of the city.
The women are crying
Red rivers of weeping.

She came in town,
And then she drove away,
Sunlight in her hair.

Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding,
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile,
Egg-shell mind.

Blood in the streets,
In the town of New Haven.
Blood stains the roofs
And the palm tress of Venice.

Blood in my love,
In the terrible summer;
Bloody red sun of
Fantastic L.A.

Blood screams her brain
As they chop off her fingers.
Blood will be born
In the birth of a nation.

Blood is the rose of
Mysterious union.

There's blood in the streets,
It's up to my ankles.
There's blood in the streets,
It's up to my knees.

There's blood in the street,
The town of Chicago.
Blood on the rise,
It's followin' me.

NO the matter was not reported cuz de racis' new media, it's just that the years long battle over a few square miles of shit heap just didn't fit the communist propaganda narrative.
