There is an old saying “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results”. By that definition, the foreign policy of America and specifically our “foreign aid” is completely insane. Bonkers. Nuts. Off it’s rocker. Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.
I read something the other day and it reminded me of this recent post: The Lesson Of Rhodesia.
Hat tip to Paul Kersey at Unz: With USAID Ending, Liberia – The African Nation Started as a Colony for Repatriated Slaves & Freed Blacks from the USA – Learns the Reality of American Exceptionalism
Liberia is a great case study for race realists to respond to “conservatives” espousing some variant of Magic Dirt Muh Constitutionalism. As most of you know, Liberia was created as a colony of sorts for freed slaves prior to the Civil War. In 1847 Liberia declared herself independent and formed a government based on the U.S. Constitution.
On July 26, 1847, the settlers issued a Declaration of Independence and promulgated a constitution. Based on the political principles of the United States Constitution, it established the independent Republic of Liberia.
Even their flag looks pretty familiar.
If the success of America is the result of our Constitution, then we should see similar results in Liberia. As you likely know, that is not what happened. Instead this happened…
As U.S. abruptly ends support, Liberia faces empty health clinics and unplanned pregnancies
….Phay is among millions across Africa who have seen their lives upended after the U.S. aid cuts. In Liberia, the American support made up almost 2.6% of the gross national income, the highest percentage anywhere in the world, according to the Center for Global Development….
…The sense of betrayal runs deep in Liberia, established in the early 1800s with the aim of relocating freed slaves and free-born Black people from the United States. The political system is modeled on that of the U.S., along with its flag. Liberians often refer to the U.S. as their “big brother.”
Liberia was one of the first countries to receive USAID support, starting in 1961. Its officials thought they would be spared from Trump’s cuts because of the countries’ close relationship.
Following civil wars and an Ebola epidemic, Liberia’s survival has depended largely on foreign aid, mainly from the U.S. and the World Bank. Despite abundant natural wealth, six out of 10 Liberians live in poverty, according to the World Bank, and Liberia is among the world’s 10 poorest nations…..
….Liberia received an average of $527.6 million in aid annually between 2014 and 2023, according to the finance ministry. This year, Liberia was supposed to receive $443 million, but the total estimated impact of the cuts is $290 million — essentially what hadn’t been disbursed yet….
…..But most of the U.S. funding went to Liberia’s health system, making up 48% of its budget. It funded malaria control, maternal health programs, HIV/AIDS treatment and community health programs. It financed hundreds of health projects run by aid groups.
About half of the funding for the health care system in Liberia was provided by the U.S. and absent that endless largesse from the American tax payers the “health care system” in Liberia is predictably collapsing.
As inevitably happens, free “aid” is always cheaper than doing it yourself and well meaning charities have created situations where native populations can’t feed, clothe, educate or provide medical care for their people because they never had to do it themselves. They get food and medicine from the U.S., so why bother doing the hard work of farming? In an extreme example I am very familiar with we go to Haiti.
After the earthquake in 2010, aid poured into the stricken island nation. A lot of Christian mission groups built orphanages for all of the children that had lost their parents. It was the Wild West down there, no functioning government and no oversight of what was happening. In one ugly incident a “mission worker” with Christian Aid Ministries named Jeriah Mast was molesting young Haitian boys and there is little doubt that people in leadership knew about it and still kept him in Haiti.
What was later discovered about these orphanages is that many of the children in their care were not orphans at all, and instead were sent to these orphanages by a living parent because the White Christians running these orphanages would provide food, housing and education for their children. Why take care of your own child when some gullible White do-gooder from America will do it for you? It was a huge scam being perpetrated on Christian churches.
Back to Liberia. Getting half a billion every year from Americans, “aid” that has been going on since 1961, has done nothing to advance Liberia and if anything has made matters worse. While the population growth has slowed somewhat, Liberians have been breeding like rabbits for decades leading to a country where around half of the total population is under 18. The per capita GDP is one of the lowest in the world, under $1000 per person.
It is a disaster despite having an American style Constitution and despite decades of aid from the U.S. This tweet from Robert Sepehr helps to explain why having a Constitution modeled on the U.S. Constitution hasn’t made Liberia a paradise (arrow and label mine)….
An average IQ of 45.1 means that around half of the people in Liberia have an IQ below 45. That is well into severely retarded range. Recall in Forrest Gump that Forrest was considered comically stupid because his IQ was 75 and on the chart shown by the principle it only goes as low as 60.
In Liberia Forrest Gump would be the smartest person in the country by a wide margin with in IQ of 75, 30 points above average.
For some reason a lot of people think that it is the moral obligation of the taxpayers of the United States to pay for basic services in shitholes around the world in perpetuity. Liberia isn’t going to ever be anything other than a shithole no matter how much money we send them. It is a bottomless pit of need and dependency and the more you feed it, the more they breed and the more dependent they become. It’s a vicious circle.
The only humane and realistic solution is to cut off all aid to places like Libera and Haiti. Let nature take over. If anyone survives they will be the smartest or at least the most ruthless. If no one survives? Well I could probably get 50 young Amish couples to move to Haiti and they would turn that place into a paradise inside of a generation.
No one has an inalienable right to money from America and if you are too dumb to stop humping without basic contraception….you deserve to die out. Not every people group was meant to survive and it is high time we stop subsidizing failure.
Concerning Haiti, there was a filthy, baseless rumour going around in 2012-13 that the CAN$300 million in aid we sent them in fact spent about eight months tied up at the harbour in Port-au-Prince, rather than being distributed. Apparently, the delay was caused when the port authorities didn’t receive the gifts they thought they should, so the paperwork was denied.
That’s just a rumour, though.
IN the meantime, the results of the efforts of LiveAID in 1985 were a cautionary tale for anyone who thought the problem was simply one of Western stinginess.
What cannot continue, won’t continue.
I am quite confident the rumor is true, they regularly do that sort of crap with the aid we send them. I figure most of it ends up in Swiss accounts for whichever strongman is “in charge” at any given moment.
Makes perfect sense. If we couldn’t pay for our obligations, the first thing we’d do is start giving our neighbors what money and assets we possessed. Our kids might go a little hungry and we’d be in a state of perpetual “deferred maintenance”. But it all makes sense. Especially if the neighbors are going to invest the money we give them in drugs, fast food and internet subscriptions. We’ll know the plan is working when the neighbors openly start thieving the things we do still possess. Trust the plan, kids. Trust the plan.
That is a whole ‘nother conversation, the idea that we are obligated to send billions overseas when we are $36 trillion in debt already is completely bonkers.
It’d be funny if the people who deny God and believe in evolution would actually, you know, trust evolution and just let nature take its course. Stop saving the most stupid and retarded people and allow them to die off, as nature intended.
Most of the people talking about “SCIENCE!” and such only believe in “science” when it is convenient.
“Average I.Q. of 45.1″… My Horse would qualify to be a Senator in that Country. He’s pretty Brown, too, would fit right in…
I doubt that we’ve ever owned a dog with an IQ as low as 45, although they seem to avoid politics like the plague.
If you’ve got a horse with the right leadership mein, you could probably run him here in the U.S. No doubt the horse is smarter than most of our elected officials. Although it is harder to blackmail horses. Easy to bribe if you have apples or carrots, but hard to blackmail.
The Roman Emperor, Commodus, installed his favorite horse as a member of the Senate. Witty fellow, that Commodus.
Just a side note. Roman Emperor Caligulia had a Horse made a Senator during his reign
Yes, you’re correct, I misremembered that it was Caligula who did this. Still a witty fellow, he was.
My horses probably have a higher IQ and they are both black, I am sick of feeding them hay so maybe they could take over Liberia?
It is truly difficult to imagine someone with an IQ of 45, let alone an entire “culture” of such persons, because if the average is 45, then that means half of them are even stupider than that.
And speaking of all the money poured into Haiti after the earthquake, I seem to recall that the Clinton Foundation was awarded something like EIGHT BILLION dollars to be used for Haitian relief efforts. As you might imagine, relatively little of that money was ever spent on Haiti. Yet no US or UN agency has ever been interested in looking into where the rest of that money went, or holding anyone accountable.
I assume that is because the “watchdogs” got a payoff to look the other way
From WoodlandTrust.org.uk:
Birds that lay their eggs in the nests of other birds are known as brood parasites. Notable examples include the cuckoo and the brown-headed cowbird, which rely on other species to raise their young.
From Moe Gibbs, notorious
racistRace Realist:Humanoids that shit out sprogs at the expense of civilized society are also known as brood parasites. Notable examples include the Open-palmed Border Jumper and the Nappy-headed North American Reparations Sucker, which rely on other races to indulge, excuse and finance their young.
Reminds me of the video that went around a few years ago of the bla’que mother of 13 kids, I believe, who was ranting that someone has “to be accountable” for the the feeding of HER children. Infuriating.
I remember that video. “Somebody got to step up and take care o’ dese keeds!” IIRC, it was suspected to be a fake. The woman was relatively slim and looked way too good to be the brood sow of so many sprogs.
When you get too many parasites they kill the host as we are seeing live all around us.
They don’t have Magic Soil there?
If America is so bad why didn’t the Mondays want to go there?
MAGA will happen in a colorblind rainbow bathhouse ZOG utopia?
Honk, honk.
It looks like it would be a decent place to farm if you could get rid of the voracious animals, aka Africans
But, but Jeeeezus and his cadre of jewish superstars will bless them because “we’re all one in christ”. Christians have sold out the White race, period! Some by a greater degree that others. Those that vehemently disagree and point their fingers at the others are merely passing the buck and using the “No True Scotsman” fallacy. Keep arguing about who’s the “real christian”. It’s all terminally I’ll coping. You’ll get your reward alright.
Yep. They seem to forget that they are to take care of their brothers and sisters in Christ first.
🎶 We are-uh the worl, we is the chirruns 🎶. These dumb shits should be living like kangz (and sheeeiiiit) with all of the money and resources YT has thrown at them.
For some reason unknown I watched a documentary on the making of the We Are The World a while back. It had Willie (there’s no cause that ain’t to commie) Nelson singing his little part. But his buddy Waylon Nelson was supposed to be in it, too.
Apparently there was some heated discussion between the sub-Saharans and the (((producers))) of putting some Swahili lyrics and some other jungle bunny shit and a big ruckus (no offense to Big Ruckus D) unfolded and Waylon bugged out unannounced.
Waylon Jennings that is.
He soun rayciss.
I hadn’t listened to any of that music genre before, let alone him as an artist.
But now…. the times they ARE a – changin’…
I was always a Waylon fan. And this makes me more so.
As a child I really thought a crowd of singers crooning about feeding the world would fix things. I wonder where all that money went…
I despised that song when it came out (and still do). I couldn’t quite articulate why at the time (I would’ve been about 11 years old when it dropped) but besides being a shitty, low effort song musically, it represented the worst of limousine liberalism, and encouraged people to dump endless sums if money into a lost cause (with predictable results). I figured the latter two points out later. Good on Waylon for giving them the big piss off, I can respect that. Besides, he was the balladeer, and provided the theme song for The Dukes of Hazzard, so he was already cool in my book,.from way back in my childhood.
One of my girlfriends used to start singing that song when she’d see a white girl or an Asian girl with a street ape.
No filter. Most excellent.
I guess I can see the ironic humor in that, but I think it’d still piss me off to hear that song. And it’d be another pisser to see a mudshark, something that still evokes a sense of disgust when I have the displeasure of witnessing it.

Our well-regarded Military Industrial Complex has a sibling version of the tune:
* “We arm the world,
For wars with everybody…”
.
An aside:
The Military Industrial Complex is a wholly-owned subsidiary of that certain old familiar ‘foreign influence’ we cannot criticize.
We cannot save every retard.
Let nature sort things out
The collapse of Western Civilization will be the result of our trying to improve the lives of cultures hopelessly inferior in all manners.
