Shithole Nations and Infrastructure Repair

I am late in getting into the discussion of the controversial language. When the weather is tough getting over the water to town isn’t safely feasible. Decades without electricity or road slow life down a bit. I heard the word shithole on national public radio that I had forgotten existed. Shithole; nothing can be tuned in practically here besides NPR. I think of NPR as the shithole dynasty. Asshole isn’t a racist term. Every human race has many assholes in politics. When a critical mass of assholes exist within an organization they convert the organization to shithole status. Shithole is thus the plural, superlative form of assholes.

Idi Amin’s Uganda, Pol Pot’s Cambodia, Adolph Hitler’s Nazi Germany and its death camps, Joseph Stalin’s Soviet Union- those assholes made shitholes of their worlds. Shitholes pave paradise and put up parking lots. The BP Horizon gulf oil blowout was a shithole. Shitholes spill millions of gallons of crude oil offshore, they gyve vast tax cuts to the most rich and seek waves to make the lives of the poor, worse. Any African nation that a white man or woman can’t walk about in for a couple of months without a good chance of being kidnapped, incarcerated, tortured, blown up, beheaded or other killed is a shithole nation. In fact that standard applies to South American nations too. Asshole political leadership in the mass media and in politics convert healthy societies, or potentially societies and nations into the despond of crude shithole living. People should seek to live better lives in their own nation than, as it were, suffering in a shithole led by assholes.

One Haitian I worked for said the United States is a spread legged woman waiting foreign entry. Democrats like that relationship. Some satisfied corrupt political leaders need power and conflict, protest and demographic support because they lack good ideas about economic reform. Fishy leaders view society imperially-for-themselves .The response from the oppressed is to brexit and let the chips fall where they may. Democrats are about supporting foreign immigrant invasion legally and otherwise, supporting foreign drug trafficking importation and widespread dope usage, and other policies that allow greater tax cuts and power shifts to the most rich plutocrats. Doubling U.S. population just once to reach 660 million would be fine for happy empowered women with fine carpets dope and bureaucrat desks even if they are packed in like sardines and like that nude comfort and familiarity while the lone wolf is just a natural history museum shadow. Democrats will say that border defense is futile and cannot be improved with more fencing, that women should brings leis to the border instead and the age of Aquarius will dawn in a sort of delusional Nurse Ratchet approach to real history based international relations paradigm.

There are a few old words that were deemed obscene long ago by the FCC the left hasn’t forced up into mainstream TV. Words similar to shithole are shitstick and shitheel. President Trump is no Lenny Bruce or Eddie Murphy Live Raw; at least he didn’t use the N-word that is restricted properly for the exclusive use of black rappers. It is an unladylike word; no queer eye for the fudd guy about it.
In fact I had to think about an hour before I remembered where and what the term meant...it isn’t racist originally, although offended African national leaders and others who misunderstand the original meaning of the word apparently want it to be so for political purposes about being offended.

President Trump Alledgedly dumped the shithole word. It was amusing to hear NPR reporting on the ‘obscene language’ of the President this morning as they set him up like a T-ball for criticism from an El Salvadoran facing deportation. The broadcast media itself is a shithole of sporadic organized air-head word-crime twits owned by the rich. If the president wants to have his head as a hologram floating alongside the stone faces of Mt. Rushmore he will need to get free wireless information superhighway Internet 5G lanes to every rural town fast lest they be shithole cities until a Democrat takes office (G.d forbid) (every day we thank G.d that Hillary wasn’t elected).

Neil Diamond, a Canadian, sang that people are still coming to America. He must have understood that everyone wants to leave their shithole nation and move to the land of the rich. Shithole nations have a Wall Street equivalent rating two-hundred percent below junk bond status. How can the United States help shithole nations repair themselves and end the need for there people to flee foreign shitholes? In part one of this report covering shithole nations we shall endeavor to understand just what a shithole nation is. In the second part we shall examine the history of good immigrants to the United States such as Olaf and Magda Nordic, inventors of the Norwegian flashlight (a stick with a candle on the end), and learn how foreigners may become more like Olaf and Magda; model migrant blitz chess stars.

Why might a nation be regarded as a shithole? The word is an American neologism that quickly assesses the condition of a place. In the mid 20th century the term was commonly used to describe the condition of housing...hence a housing developer or an ordinary civilian giving a summary opinion of a home in disrepair might describe it as a shithole.

Interestingly the word shithole as a pejorative evaluative adjective preceded the era of television. The early days of television had strict federal controls on the use of obscenity that disappeared later through radio and then cable TV. Vulgar language became de rigeur in stand up comedy in the United States driving crude and obscene language inti broadcasting where it took root. Yet many words that were somewhat vulgar or obscene were not resurrected for common use in the new era post-censorship of crude and obscene language. A generation or two since before and after the FCC era of complete censorship of obscenity had never heard some of the more rich vulgar American neologisms. They were clean, detoxified from incorrect obscenities generations fed manure and kept in the dark, trained for mindless dopey allegiance to fake imperialism policies concentrating wealth.

A nation cannot become shithole with simple evils like nuclear plant meltdowns, toxic waste dumps, bleeding super-fund sites, vast left-wing public debt, leaking offshore oil platforms etc. it requires a personal touch of shabby housing. Can an entire nation rise to the point of being considered to be a shithole, and is a shithole a synonym for hellhole?

A country with pestilential swamps, extreme oppressive heat, rampant public corruption, high murder rates, terrible housing and very slow or no Internet speed might well be described by a visitor as a shithole regardless of the race of the people that live there. Any nation with royalty is de facto a shithole nation. Even the U.S. Congress may be regarded as a shithole congress the past few decades since it fails ecological economic reform and capital reform in order to keep democracy alive and make prosperity include every citizen rather than those rising from shithole status. Non-sustainable global economics are shithole economics that will transform the world into hellhole status like as not. Maybe the documentary movie Silent Spring presented the ideal non-shithole world free of hellholes with DDT for every problem; the shithole of a world with crawly insects and creepy biological life besides suburbanites that dropped bird do do on chemically treated lawns manicured to a perfect green, better, replaced with synthetic astro turf.

If an investor had considered buying real estate in that country and thus sent an inspector to look it over before purchase and asked the inspector what he thought of it upon his return, the inspector might provide a simple dismissive judgment that ‘it’s a shithole’, ending any interest in buying into it.

If President Trump used the word shithole to describe nations that should not be included as sources of migrants to the United States, it would have been a rare public use of an American neologism that was far more common several decades ago. Yemen, Somalia, Venezuela and North Korea today be thought of as shithole nations except by those that voted for homosexual marriage in the U.S. judiciary, and hence be on the Department of Homeland Security’s list of most unliked shithole nations.

Simple reflection upon the point of view a building developer of a certain class might have comparing for example, the Mar a largo resort to the accommodation available generally in the Congo or Haiti, inform one that Haiti is a shithole in comparison in the lexicon of the developer. The term might hurt feelings yet it would be realistic.
Traditional America is a land of the rich free of shitholes. The most rich Americans have been given vast tax cuts in order to pay a very low tax rate on personal income at just 21% to help them remain in good ‘digs’ and out of ‘shitholes’. With such great wealth being concentrated following on President Obama’s compelling levering of vast Bush tax cuts permanently into law during his administration, it is just possible that the United States may stop its slippery slope slide into abject shithole condition. A physical and moral shithole with dilapidated housing, homosexual marriage, communal soup kitchens where masses suffer and even the most rich must subsist on meager rations of cracker and bowl before retiring to their cardboard hut in the alley; those are just the beginnings of sorrows (not to mention arm-chopping machete).

Any nation that has failed to develop an ecologically sustainable infrastructure and that relies on fossil fuel vehicles polluting the air and accelerating global atmospheric heating may be said to be a shithole nation. Any nation that has a majority of housing with bad paint jobs that a city must be ashamed of; with mold growing, peeling paint and fading colors could reasonably be regarded as a shithole nation. Any nation with a tax rate on the most rich of fewer than 75% on personal income is in danger of becoming a shithole nation as its infrastructure and political forces become nothing more than toys for those living in the gilded age.

African nations and any others living in dire poverty should thank President trump for reminding them that they too can aspire to live in a gilded age with bright light, asphalt parking lots and high quality condos as far as the eye can see. Good opulent nations glowing in the dark, shimmering in the dawn, palatial estates where celebrities gather to share the cocaine and opiods, good music and unlimited chips. It is important to know that the entire planet can have quality indoor carpeting and SUVs with creme de minthe filled jacuzzi baths one day, and the cruel reality of living in shithole nations will fade into distant memories that no one remembers.

A famous journalist returning from an extended stink as a foreign correspondent was asked once, during an interviewing, where he was staying. He replied; ina dumpster downtown...ha ha, no I am staying ina nice house. Obviously he understood what shitholes many people live in around the world and the misery of the life of shithole dwelling peoples. What can be done to stop the most rich from having their lifestyles fall into shithole condition?

Democrats stole the thunder of tax cuts making for the most rich during the Obama years and Republicans had their arms twisted to get their mojos back and wrest the title for tax cuts servo-unit making machines of the rich for themselves. They accomplished that, yet Wall Street and the big banks are forever endangered with the prospect of shit holezation looming over the horizon. In some future administration the congress will likely take up the idea of providing earned income credits for the most rich, perhaps crediting them with a 10 percent tax credit on their income to thank them for being so rich and benefiting so many people for being examples of how not to live in shitholes.


Mr. Trump and the Retainer Paid to a Journalist

 So far as I have learned Donald Trump is on trial for 34 counts of paying a journalist not to publish bad news about him. Trump's attor...
