South Africa as Model

Some blogs are pointing to South Africa to illustrate the West's future as the European population is replaced and loses power. Apparently the decline of fertility of the West is irreversible, while African populations in the West and in Africa itself, are exploding. The developing scenario describes a mass of violent African adolescents and young adults, facing an aging and frightened White population. This is the scenario of the "I cant breath" riots a week ago.

I checked the situation of South Africa, and yes, the electrical company is collapsing but in general, the economy is growing and many skilled people that had left the country are returning. Even in a chaotic, corrupt, ungoverned country like Nigeria, resident Europeans are living in luxury, in big houses with many servants and enviable social life (pic), and prosperous.

May be the future is not so bad.   

The Chinese Bully provoking the West

China has allied itself to the clerical dictatorship of Iran, which is bad news for us and the West in general. China is acting like a bully, provoking the USA and trying to demonstrate its power and self-assurance. America is approaching elections and the political turbulence is weakening its posture. They have just advised their citizens to leave China since they are liable to find themselves in detention for sending a negative email on China or for no reason at all. The relations are worsening, it is like a new Cold War. I feel bitter at this turn of the events.   Ill.: Chinese Emperor.

Today something happened. The US for the first time called China's taking over the South China Sea - illegitimate. The Ronald Reagan battle group is patrolling the area. The situation is maturing towards an open confrontation.

The Natanz nuclear site in Iran was bombed, and no one knows who did it. It is urgent to destabilize and change Iran's evil regime. It is wonder that it lasts till now. 

Achieving Legality

Israel has been accepted to the board of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and as of July 12, 2020, will begin serving a three-year term in the organization. The board has 49 member states out of the 149 member states of the UN. On the other hand, the extension of sovereignty to the Valley of the River Jordan was filed and forgotten because the The Hague Court of Justice declared that it would be illegal.  Netaniyahu had to promise Macron that we shall respect international law.  

Zionism, from the Congress in Basel, set its objective of an independent country for the Jewish people, recognized by international law. They did not want a de-facto Jewish entity but a legal and recognized country. Jews in the modern times always strove for legal recognition, for example, they lived and traded almost freely in the German States, Hungary and France, but their position was precarious, semi-legal and unprotected. They demanded charters, like achieved by Prussian Jews, and Herzl spent his fortune trying to get one from the Turkish Sultan. Hundred years after, we are slowly achieving legality.

Corona Virus is a Racial Bioweapon

Paabo confirmed that those carrying Neanderthal genes tend to die from the Coronavirus, while the populations that have not mixed with Neanderthals develop lighter forms of the disease. Europeans are the most closely related to Neanderthals while the disease "repects" Australian and African natives. Northwest Italians like Ligurians (and Ashkenazi Jews) suffer high mortality rates in the current pandemic. Metaphorically, that virus is out there looking for me, trying to kill this old Jew. 

Crisis in Israel

The Government met today and declared strong measures in the political, health and economic spheres. Politically, the application of sovereignty to the uninhabited parts of the Palestinian Authority was frozen and forgotten, given the international protest. It was a balloon flown by Netaniyahu and then silently shot down. On the health front, we have serious outbreak of Corona virus, 4% of the tests are coming back positive. I try to get out the less possible. On the economic front, the Bank of Israel reassessed its numbers and the GNP will be minus 6% this years, with some luck. It promised to flood the market with money and TASE jumped accordingly. I am  worth 20% less than a year ago. I have much work because my clients, while actually starving, are receiving generous injections of bank loans for building and enlarging their current business. My daughters and their hombres are all having difficulties in their jobs. I am feeling depressed, even as the seqels are starting to pour in after three months of drought. 

The next Seven Year Plan

There is a world crisis going on out there and I am wondering how to position myself and what to do. In the last two months I have been sitting on the sidelines of the stock market, because I can't see the future. A bad flu has disordered the world economy, the central banks are printing money like crazy and the stock exchanges are stable. Oil and gas are worthless. China recognized the end of globalization and is developing its internal market.

I am nearing my second and final retirement date, and  see my physical powers declining. I am suffering from sciatica, walking is painful. I have to work out the next seven year plan, but doubt I shall survive and be working in 2027. Who knows?

Regarding age, I wonder what is in the minds of the Democratic Party leaders when selecting Joe Biden as their candidate. The man is an experienced political leader but suffered two severe brain operations and will be over eighty while President. America is engaged in a bad war with China and needs a pro-active s.o.b. pirate like Nixon or Trump.

BTW, what is doing that fat female winged personage in the center of the front of NYSE? There are also three children, something rarely seen today, but very central in former times in America. They knew that in the future rioting savages will try to deface and destroy it, so they set the composition high over street level.
