Read this story, a little long and very detailed, about the fall of a university, MeToo BS gone totally wrong, and the suffering of a German free spirit.

There’s an overarching issue that screams out from every paragraph but which nobody dares mention. In an education establishment, as with everything else, one can expect and demand excellence. Or, one can demand DIEversity. It’s one or the other.

The 2020 Presidential Election of Headcounts

That’s what the last census amounted to. As I wrote here last summer and fall, the math was at best – and being very generous – fuzzy. In truth, we simply have no idea how many people there are. 18-19% discrepancy. Because of wHaT ThE ViUrS did…

The U.S. Census Bureau released results today from two analyses about the quality of the 2020 Census counts. While both showed the strength of the count for the total U.S. population, each analysis revealed that the 2020 Census overcounted or undercounted various demographic groups.

“Today’s results show statistical evidence that the quality of the 2020 Census total population count is consistent with that of recent censuses. This is notable, given the unprecedented challenges of 2020,” said Director Robert L. Santos. “But the results also include some limitations — the 2020 Census undercounted many of the same population groups we have historically undercounted, and it overcounted others.”

Yes, yes, we can no longer perform complex math. Like addition and subtraction. Then again, I again suspect most of the “count” amounted to statistical sampling. Maybe with some darts thrown at a wall or a spinning wheel.

The PES data show that:

    • The Black or African American alone or in combination population had a statistically significant undercount of 3.30%. This is not statistically different from the 2.06% undercount in 2010.
    • The Hispanic or Latino population had a statistically significant undercount rate of 4.99%. This is statistically different from a 1.54% undercount in 2010.
    • American Indian or Alaska Native alone or in combination populations living on reservations show a statistically significant undercount rate of 5.64%. This was not statistically different from a 4.88% undercount in 2010. The American Indian or Alaska Native population alone or in combination living in American Indian areas, but not living on reservations, was not statistically different from zero in 2020 or 2010.
    • The non-Hispanic White alone population had a statistically significant overcount rate of 1.64%. This is statistically different from an overcount of 0.83% in 2010.
    • The Asian alone or in combination population had an overcount rate of 2.62%. This is statistically different from 0.00% in 2010.
    • The Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander alone or in combination population had an estimated overcount rate of 1.28%. This rate is not different from an estimated 1.02% overcount rate in 2010. Both are not statistically different from zero.

My calculator burned up, but I tried to roughly see how this fits with my previous estimate or, what was it, 2029 as the year of the great demographic shift. I’ll stick with that as, in the absence of actual data, this has become farcical. Given that we’re now 2 years past the … errors and all, and given that we don’t know the extent of the 2021 Heritage net drop – as if we can expect any accuracy, I’ll just twiddle my thumbs and wait for more exciting news about the latest or next hoax or something.

 

A Gaseous But Plausible Sub-Explanation

For part of the horrendous drop in American IQ. Leaded gas?

A new study conducted by researchers from Florida State University and Duke University sheds light on the use of leaded gasoline in the United States – banned since 1996 – and it likely causing significant IQ losses in the country’s population.
The authors of the study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences this week estimate that “170 million Americans alive today were exposed to high-lead levels in early childhood,” and that lead is “responsible for the loss of 824,097,690 IQ points” in the US population as of 2015.
…
The researchers warned that anyone in the US who was born before the ban on leaded gas in 1996 may have suffered “the cognitive consequences of lead exposure,” and that, at its worst, those who were born in the 1960s and in the 1970s – the time of the peak use of leaded gas – may have lost up to seven points of IQ, the media outlet notes.

There has been a decline, since 1950-ish, of maybe 10 points on average. That’s bad. And it’s getting worse. The two big causes are 1) smart Americans not having kids, and 2) almost all of our post-1965 imports come from sub-average populations.

This environmental angle makes some sense and it has to be a part of the equation, along with diets, drugs, Teeeeeveeeee, chemicals, etc. But, I could also see this as a partial cover-up of the two primary factors. 824 / 170 (sorry, lead heads) = 4.85. Dunno; as a 1970s exhaust huffer, I am deprived of the ability to make such calls. You?

Another good example of the terminal decline of the USSA.

The Pentagon canceled this weekend’s test of the Minuteman III intercontinental missiles from California
Department of Defense spokesman John Kirby insisted it was to show ‘restraint’ and is ‘not a backwards step’
He also confirmed the U.S. would not join Putin in putting their nuclear arsenal in a state of readiness
‘We did not take this decision lightly but instead to demonstrate that we are a responsible nuclear power,’ Defense Press Secretary John Kirby said Wednesday

Translation: like many other modern wonders, our ICBMs no longer work.

And, without Russian engines, good luck to NASA. As the Russians said, “let them fly into space on their brooms.” Clean sweep.

The MSM laments a very minor reprieve in the mass invasion of the USSA.

While the decline coincides with the spread of COVID-19, a country with an aging population like that found in the United States needs strong levels of immigration to support economic growth. More immediately, immigrants could help fill the millions of job openings in the U.S.

Spot the lie? Okay, it was all lies. The decline was almost unnoticeable. COVID-19 is a hoax. We DO NOT need any migration; in fact, we desperately need to get rid of what we already have. Migrants are a HUGE net drain on the economy of any nation they infest. The jobs issue is a byproduct of 100 years of steady fake debt inflation and 50 years of constant invasion. And, arguably, the US isn’t even a country anymore.

This will be discussed in rushed detail on a near-future PPN episode.

A quarter of a century ago, I had a primitive computer connected via the telephone line to the primitive internet. I did not have a cellular phone. All of that was faster, more reliable, and better than the whiz-bang bullshit I have today, and by “today” I literally mean on this very Thursday, 10/7/21, here in my rapidly declining third-world swamp that I am really starting to hate.

Rating: 0.5.

Especially during a decline and fall, one really has to enjoy the humor. This is not a joke:

Why it matters: Congressional solutions to the debt-ceiling problem could take weeks to implement, especially if the reconciliation process is used — and time is running out. In case of emergency, a trillion-dollar coin could be deployed to bridge any gap between the money running out and the debt ceiling being raised.

How it works: The U.S. Mint, which Diehl ran from 1994 to 2000, already produces a one-ounce Platinum Eagle and has no shortage of platinum blanks already in stock.

Producing a trillion-dollar Eagle would require only the denomination to be changed. “This could be quickly executed on the existing plaster mold of the Platinum Eagle,” says Diehl. Then an automated process would transfer the new design to a plastic resin mold.

Even if Janet Yellen, the Treasury secretary, has no intention of minting such a coin, there is no reason for her not to quietly instruct the Mint director to take those steps a day or two in advance.

Okay, it is a joke. It’s all a big, stupid joke. How stupid? If minted, this single one-ounce coin would debase increase the real, legal money supply by about 1,429 times. It would still only account for roughly (estimated) .0014% of the fake money supply. That’s not an imbalance. That’s a punchline … to a funeral joke.

My electronic and online life has now become a very slow-moving nightmare. It’s safe to say, most of the time: NOTHING WORKS!

I’ll be fine. In fact, when it all completely fails, I will be most happy!

I was also happy to learn that the misery spread today to FB, Instaspin, and some other idiotic socials. What will the low IQ do?!?! I hope they enjoy what they’ve earned. May it spread.

The Stupid Party will stupid. One would think that the GOP cucks would be all over Creepy Joe’s “mistreatment” of all the blessed troll diversity under that Texas bridge. Maxine Waters is ranting away about it:

We are following the Trump policy. He is the one that does not follow the Constitution, and would not allow those seeking refuge to be able to petition to get into the country. What the hell are we doing here? What we witnessed takes us back hundreds of years. What we witnessed was worse than what we witnessed in slavery. Cowboys with their reins, again, whipping Black people – Haitians – into the water where they’re scrambling and falling down. All they’re trying to do is escape from violence in their country.

The AJC, the Haitian-“American” community, and the USSA envoy to Haiti are commenting. Why won’t any of the cuckservative losers use this chance to scream about how “Democrats are the REAL Racists! See they whip them like Bull Conner or something! We good neocon idiots, of course, support all 67 IQ natural conservative invaders who are more American than you – just as long as it is LEGAL!”

If not the cucks, then maybe the libertardians? Churchians? Someone. Anyone…

And, has anyone pondered how all these fighting-age males women and children fleeing war and oppression, seeking only to recreate the exact conditions they left in the poorest, dumbest, and most violent country in the Western Hemisphere, managed to get deep into Mexico in the first place? Ciudad Acuña is 2,000 miles away from Port-au-Prince.

For their part, the Mexicans are belatedly doing something intelligent by using their military to seal off the invaders, preventing their possible return into Mexico. Imagine if the USSA used its Army the same way. Maybe some of the 95,000 Afghan “translators” who “helped” us can figure something out. We know the cucks want them. Honestly, they deserve them.
