Do we really think Americans just got lazier in the past twenty years and that alone explains the obesity epidemic? It wasn’t as if cars and television sets and unwalkable suburbs were only invented during the 1990s.

As an Orthodox Christian I must admit even the Bible in Proverbs refers to the ‘simple’ who ‘lack wisdom’, and also warns in the Book of Wisdom what happens to a family and hence society when women wear all the pants.

First, with respect to Russia, I’m glad word is finally getting out that Russians are not ‘dying off’ and that much of this may have been in hindsight, both projecting the unsunstainable trends of the Soviet collapse era into the future indefinitely (that which CAN’T go on WON’T). But there was also wishful thinking on the part of certain D.C. elites like Z. Brzezinski who were hoping to finally finish off the Russian Bear and claim Russia’s vast resources for multinational corporations (who’ve been angling for those resources since Armand Hammer came to the USSR post revolution and cut deals with Stalin) without the Kremlin getting their cut. Too bad for them Russia is resurgent enough to at least stop U.S.-led NATO adventures in their neighborhood, including now the Eastern Med.

The Yellow Peril thesis for the Russians that even the current Ambassador Michael McFaul copped to in a ten-year-old email leaked by a Moscow based fund manager is also bogus: China is far more likely to send its surplus young men to Africa, Latin America or Central Asia which need Chinese infrastructure and technology than to the frigid Siberian cities.

At close to 14 million, MOSCOW/Moscow region is most definitely bursting at the seams, not only from external migrants — many of whom are Central Asians that even Muscovites with liberal sympathies would prefer to see sent back home — but also from a growing trend of Russian couples actually having that second child. Of course, the fact that Russian women have not been hit with the fat apocolypse like their counterparts in the UK and USA really helps keep them attractive into their early thirties, so there’s hope to make up for putting off children. Putin has also instituted quite a few pro-natalist policies, to his credit.

The problem is NOT that there’s going to be a huge drop off in women of child bearing age because of the Nineties birth dearth. It’s because Russia’s trade partners in the EU and China (Germany possibly excepted) are collapsing due to Western corruption and peak indebtedness. Admitting that the greatest threat to Russian economic stability and hence Putin’s stable rule through 2018 comes not from the Bolotnaya crowd cheered by the West but from Western ECONOMIC WEAKNESS if not COLLAPSE in the demand for Russian raw materials is a bitter pill for Westerners to swallow. This is something the Economist, Telegraph and WSJ will all never admit. But it’s the truth.

I think the author misses that brother Alex Jones — despite the ‘conspiracy theories’ — has a point. Whether by accident or ‘globalist design’, there are already massive ‘population control’ measures in place for America’s poor with the massive quantities of high fructose corn syrup and perhaps even GMO foods that have been injected into the food supply over the past 20-25 years (correllation is not causation I know but there’s a hell of a coincidence). I’ll set aside fluoridation for the moment.

Do we really think Americans just got lazier in the past twenty years and that alone explains the obesity epidemic? It wasn’t as if cars and television sets and unwalkable suburbs were only invented during the 1990s. Can Mexican-Americans really continue headlong into the fat apocolypse where right now I see teenage and even preteen girls being fatter than their grandmothers were at 60? I mean, Mexican women simply by being shorter have slightly less room to store fat than taller women of other races, but it’s awful to watch when I consider that my European-Mexican descended family friends used to show me photos of their parents and grandparents looking decent even into their late 30s and 40s while the grandkids have ballooned. That means pre-diabetic and hypertension after the first kid in the early 20s, and diabetic full blown by 30s. That alongside the horrible employment picture that legalizing millions of illegals would make worse would probably lead to a higher mortality rate. And the U.S. already has the highest in the developed world.

Um… what? I don’t know why you think the “vast majority” of HBD’ers lack any “Leftist” beliefs. Perhaps this is just projection on my part since I have a number of “Left” beliefs (non-religious, moderately pro-gay, pro single payer healthcare, value environmental interests over economic interests, think a small (<10-15%) amount of "diversity" can be very beneficial to a society), but I think you underestimate the number of moderate or even leftist HBDers
