Went grocery shopping today. Since Trump took over tomatoes have increased 30%, lettuce 40%, coffee 83%, bread 20%, cabbage 40%, hamburger 30%, etc, etc And all the maga people who were complaining about egg prices before the election are suddenly silent

By this means the government may secretly and unobserved, confiscate the wealth of the people, and not one man in a million will detect the theft.

Donald J Trump knows meaning of the term ‘shithole country’; an unfortunate phrase he used in 2018 with primary reference to Haiti.
This small article seeks to define said term with reference to the economic concept of the Gini Coefficient, which is a measure of the relative distribution of wealth as quantifies inequality. It ranges from 0 to 1 where 0 means everyone has the same wealth and 1 means one person has all the wealth. Of course at the outer limits of the coefficient in relation to ‘absolute equality’ theory prevails over reality; that is, even the worst as greediest bastard parasite is obliged pragmatic to leave some scraps of wealth ‘on the table’ for the majority to continue to subsist and serve albeit in debt; and in theory at the opposite end of the spectrum to motivate people to work there must be some differentials of material reward – hence 0 is also unattainable. Should a neurosurgeon receive the same income as someone performing unskilled labor for example?
One is reminded of Butler’s satire ‘Erewhon’ where vegetarians eat only cabbages certified died of natural causes. This as consideration of ‘extremity’ as reductio ad absurdum accompanies the fact that regrettable abominable phenomena such as concentration camps support the highest level of profit maximised by a minority -and as thereby approach the Gini Coefficient of 1.
A ‘country’ as close approximation a concentration camp defines a ‘shithole’ demanded such the resource transfer?
NB concentration camps have been superseded in the 21st C. by death camps such the apotheosis/epitome of evil which tragically going down in Gaza and the West Bank now as a new low concerning the Gini Coefficient? The tragedy of the Ukraine also demands consideration? The profit is in the Real Estate as gifted by God vacated, indeed as the meaning of ‘Nakba‘ as an obscenity moves from concentration camp and expulsion to death camp by way of genocide as expulsion? ‘Under new management’ so it goes.
For Americans the example of Ludlow as a concentration camp once operated by the Rockefeller Dynasty in the ‘home of the brave and the land of the free’ should not be permitted to fade into the memory hole, nor should Senator Huey Long’s ‘Share Our Wealth’ movement as given above and as hyperlinked in leading quote and as occurred during ‘The Great Depression’ – soon to prove to be a misnomer – given the Gini Coefficient decline America is staring in the face in the early 21st C? Nor should the shameful Rheinwiesenlager post WW11 be permitted to be denied by way of an ‘it never happened’ hegemony? Kudos to Pinter.
‘O Say, Can You See Trump is the Tariff’? – was considered for title this small article before a withdrawal against purely ad hominem attack as would albeit draw attention to his tragic degeneracy and the irony of his ‘Make America Great Again’ which to outstrip ‘Hope and Change’ as cruelty practised by way of malice aforethought and strap line?
Such the consequences of a permit to control and issue ‘currency’ as impact profoundly whence extrapolated by way of Geopolitics via Gini Coefficients being the focus as Keynes draws attention to above?
Because in considering the Gini Coefficient metapolitically there a sine qua non as parallels Lehrer’s proposition of ‘Once the rockets are up who cares where they come down, that’s not my department says Wernher Von Braun‘ such the ‘paperclip’? The Gini Coefficient is objective.
Such the dumbing down as impoverishment by way of divide et impera as the resource transfer from poor to rich goes rampant as deadly, such the Newspeak denied?
Interregnum (!):
– One interrupts this small article to take further cognisance by way of reflection upon another small article as further apropos the meaning of ‘shithole country’ given. In 2011 a small article from these small quarters was published by this esteemed organ as partially concerned the Gini Coefficient of Libya under Muammar Muhammad Abu Minyar al-Gaddafi, where things unimaginable for Americans, or indeed for most inhabitants of the Western World/Oceania contemptoraneous (sic) such the geopolitical metasistasis were permitted to occur for a short time before he was assassinated and his ‘regime’ changed. So it goes; such the sic transit.( ‘No Libyan ever called me a Goy‘ so it goes to paraphrase Cassius Clay.) Other than the gold backed Dinar which died with Gaddafi NATO destroyed the superb civic infrastructure bringing water to the desert of Libya; the so called great man-made river project (GMMRP). ‘Heck of a job’ so it goes.
The following impacts towards 0 as were made upon the Gini Coefficient of Libya under Gaddafi: free electricity, almost free gasoline, free health care, free education, interest free loans, newly weds received 50,000 dollars to make a home, mothers received 5,000 dollars on the birth of a child, citizens received a percentage of all oil sales, the government paid 50% of the price of your car (as an ‘inverse tariff’). All of the above: plus Libya freed itself from IMF debt and the World Bank. Even the Rockefeller funded UN Human Development Index (HDI) was obliged to recognise Libya as become the most developed African Nation under the Green Book of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya…
Interregnum Ends – but if only the orange man had comparable to a Green Book for America? He left same behind after his numerous trips on Epstein’s private jet which was a Boeing 727-1 -though there is no evidence from the flight logs of same he visited Epstein Island on what became known as the Lolita Express.
‘Shithole Countries’ are destined to become the norm in the 21st. C such the resource transfer under kakistocracy as reflected in Gini Coefficient; such the control and issue of the currency not to say manufacture of ‘shithole nations’ such the Zionist care not?
Is the Rothschild dynasty Zionist?
Apropos:
The worst shithole country in the world such the shit going down current as by way of resource transfer and necrotrophic parasitism per Gini Coefficient is Israel; where ‘the Amalek‘ as of the Palestinians are being genocided pursuant to a transfer of resources to Zionists- this , whilst the world looks on quietly under shock and awe? Greater Israel is a prototype of the necrotrophic ‘killing of the host’ via Gini Coefficient which will; under the ‘falling down’ of Humanity continue to metastasise by way of ‘live and let die’ such the contemptoraneity (sic)? (Apologies for using the portmanteau twice but it demanded as a rebellion against the restricted code as per the sociolinguist Bernstein if not the newspeak of Orwell?) The one of the Israel is as against the zero of the Palestinians as the Gini Coefficient demands genocide and the further degeneration?
Come to think of it metapolitically; just how many Americans are to die prematurely as quietly under the ‘Zionist tariffs’ imposed by the convicted felon posing as a POTUS? Whom but a thought criminal/anti semite dares ask, indeed? Was it not Eisenhower who said concerning Gini Coefficient:
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. This is not a way of life at all in any true sense. Under the clouds of war, it is humanity hanging on a cross of iron.
Ditto concerning the descent from Genocide to Ecocide as Shithole Countries become a Shithole Planet such the entropy?
The really sad thing for Americans is that even more is going to have to be given up as tithed by way of taxation without representation as ironic (not just tea indeed!) in the cause of transfer of resources to Israel such the Gini Coefficient operating at a transnational level; (hitherto said coefficient has been considered only at a national level, this, in absentiem of metapolitics) as much as, there to be no ‘further’ money sense of any ‘Jamhiraya’ approximated forthcoming for American Citizens: rather Tariffs as an imminent taxation the proceeds of which will be largely transferred to Israel and the Ukraine as cheer led as facilitated by a parliament largely composed of dual citizens sense of loyalty to Israel; a parliament of whores or party of reptiles as O’Rourke described and in which Gore Vidal’s proposition concerning Presidents is apposite as prescient? Tariffs are to be the final nail in the coffin of the American Dream?
For the ‘Trump Tariffs’ are no more than an attempt to further Zionism by way of greater resource transfer such the whoredom as the degeneracy in which MAGA is but yet another cruel inversion; yet another slide down the treachery and treason pathway of ‘hope and change’; but another treasonous act played out under a golden calf to be sucked dry scenario as to a resource transfer with the stamp of hubris/final fuckover of ‘zombie empire’ and ragged trousered philanthropy all over it by way of Gini Coefficient?
Where have all the markets gone as the full silos of crops go explosive or the fields burned/where have all the tourists gone/ I wonder why my shopping basket is shrinking/ why can’t I afford so many things now I used to be able to?
It’s the Gini Coefficient, stupid!
Vigorish creates shithole countries as Keynes alludes to above?
Viz:
The last days of the American Dream whereby some share of fiat currency as a racket were as per the Gini Coefficient once upon a time permitted an approximation of ‘fair’ distribution to the Demos such the control and issue of currency are gone – it ain’t just ‘Mississippi or Motor City burning’ now baby its all of America such the divide et impera; and the rest of the world is walking away in droves from what amounts to no more than another degenerated as defenestrated country rapidly circling the drain (CTD) towards being but a shithole? ‘Palestine’ here we come by way of ragged trousered philanthropy such the big club beating us down ever more cruelly? Apologies to George Carlin. This to say naught of the thin end of the wedge geopolitical…
‘The Whitehouse’ should be renamed ‘The Shitehouse’ albeit soon to have a new spectacular Ballroom, and the King he just got a new Jet from Qatar ( A Boeing 747-8) to be refitted at the American taxpayer’s expense? (Genius move as Qatar as realises it’s in the sight of greater Israel, feed enuff rope to the fugly orange bloviating narcissist posing Presidential and he’ll hang himself – or be hung Mussolini style?). The ‘Lolita Express’ could not match the Qatari gift by way of size or luxury? Too big to land at Ben Gurion Airport, dare one ask?
One notes the Rose Garden (I beg your pardon) is to be made over at the Shitehouse, sorry Whitehouse, such the promise never made as ‘not kept’ by Donald J. Small quarters want to apologise for offence liable to be caused to decent hard working Americans by any of the above – but just how fucking bad does it have to get before enough is enough/ we’ve seen this shit before/ lets get the fuck out of here (GTFOH)?( Jesse Welles as an American genius continues to amaze?)
Just how much shit are Americans expected to swallow by way of the Gini Coefficient and resource transfer occurring at a metapolitical and everyday mundane level such the proximity before they realise a whole ‘new’ shithole scenario prevails?
Eat ze bugs or lab grown ‘meat’/you vill own nothing and you vill be happy/ you vill live in ze 15 minute cities/ ve vill own everything such ze Gini Coefficient/take ze vaccines/it vill be built back better/ ignore ze evidence of your own eyes/things are getting better/ America it vill be Great Again – as Klaus Schwab formerly of the WEF could say?
Which conveniently segues into another aspect of how a Gini Coefficient can be manipulated purposive turning a country into a ‘shithole’ under an agenda which must remain ‘hidden’.
‘Artifice -whats that?’
– Now we’re getting ‘interllectual’ (sic) as metapolitical intermediation goes via peerdom and eclecticism, as per dangerous minds as Gramsci exemplified; we dare to question as to revive thoughts long thought to be ‘dead’; we dare to explore the connections between intellects unrecognised under hegemony such the portmanteau/neologism ‘interllectualism’ constitutes, we dare to defy ‘orthodoxy’ as Orwell defined; we dare to embrace a nouveau lexicon and paradigm of political discourse under some parallel of hybrid vigour?
It is impossible to contextualise the global issue of migration and the chaos it is manifestly precipitating in Europe as well as America without reference to ‘Practical Idealism’ German Original Praktischer Idealismus by R. N. Coudendolve-Kalergi. What also occurs by way of focus on the Gini Coefficient is that such economic concept demands consideration of the transfer of resources and that in shithole countries this entails censorship as a form of dumbing down the masses to accept orthodoxy under hegemony. The closer a country gets to a Gini Coefficient of 1 the greater probability it can be described as a shithole? There is little to no doubt in the tiny mind of these small quarters that George Soros is funding as following concepts as outlined in ‘Practical Idealism’, and that such is of immediate relevance to any metapolitical consideration of the Gini Coefficient.
