They are making big inroads here in the Philippines. So far President Duterte is bending over and welcoming them in. Rumor has it they want to buy the bankrupt Hanjin shipyard that's up the road from me and there's even talk of them having a naval station on our old base. My exit strategies generally start with "when China does XXXX, I'll fly to XXXX. <br /><br />Anyway, I think the low birthrates and lax immigration policies will kill the Europe we've known faster than socialism will, but it looks to be a close race.John Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02614775172062071697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-12202664595972829952019-03-14T23:04:59.918+09:002019-03-14T23:04:59.918+09:00Found it!

The 2005 post titled <a href="http://mccrarey.com/economic-weaklings/" rel="nofollow">"Economic Weaklings."</a> The core of the prophecy:<br /><br /><b>"I stand by the assertion that Europe as we have known it is unlikely to survive the 21st century. If they weren’t so damn arrogant I might even feel some pity as their pathetic society goes the way of the dinosaur. Godless socialism, declining birthrates, staggering Muslim immigration, and an economy in the toilet. All hail the brilliance of our betters for creating a perfect storm of destruction.<br /><br />Meanwhile, as we watch the former powers of Europe fade into oblivion, the Chinese are making noises. China will be America’s challenge in the coming years. I expect we will prevail but we won’t have the time or resources to bail out our feckless former allies for a third time."</b><br /><br />You were quite the Delphic Oracle back then.<br />Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-81396353499658612132019-03-14T22:34:27.024+09:002019-03-14T22:34:27.024+09:00Your memory is better than mine!

Sweden is already coming apart at the seams...John,<br /><br />Sweden is already coming apart at the seams for other reasons, but yeah, I think its time will come, too, economically speaking—especially once the new, government-imposed racial "diversity" begins to show that Sweden's economic policies hinge on there being a monoculture to keep everything smooth. Within a monoculture, everyone is bound to say yes when the government announces changes in policy because everyone is prone to thinking alike. With a polyculture, you're more likely to have dissenters, and the government can't operate with the same fluid impunity.<br /><br />I saw an old post of yours, in your archives, that prophesied a lot of what's happening today. I need to go find the link to what you'd written back then...Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-29859451290942136192019-03-14T07:30:29.362+09:002019-03-14T07:30:29.362+09:00But we'll always have Sweden...
