The mainstream media has been bombarding Western countries with news about the need for a more circular economy and slow phasing out of plastic from our daily lives in order to protect the environment, focusing on the World’s oceans. But how much of that plastic pollution is actually the West’s fault?
It’s easy to see awareness campaigns about animals trapped in all sorts of trash and to then want to do something in order to prevent such a terrible thing from happening again. In the past few weeks, the mainstream media has been on a crusade against the horrors of plastic in developed nations, targeting everyday, easily dischargeable items such as plastic bags and plastic straws.
Are they preaching to the right audience though?

These distressing images are of great shock value, they create awareness for a major problem that affects all sorts of ecosystems and in this case, marine and sea life, but surprise, surprise, if they want this campaign to be effective, these slogans should be written in Mandarin, Hindi or any African language.
First of all, the disposal of waste in Western nations (and also other developed countries such as Japan or South Korea) is treated very differently than those in developing nations in continents such as Africa and Asia. Not even emerging nations such as India, China or Brazil recycle or treat their waste as much as their Western counterparts, with Brazil being the country who is doing a better jon of treating and recycling these sorts of dischargeable items.
This graph, although from 20 years ago, depicts a good image of how solid waste was and still is treated worldwide.
In 1998, few were the countries that cared or could afford to recycle their solid waste. As we can see, most of the waste being recycled was done in Western nations such as the US, Canada, European countries, Australia, New Zealand and a few East Asian countries such as Japan and South Korea.
Recycling has evolved a lot in the last 15-20 years, but still, Western nations are at the forefront on the treatment and re-use of plastic, glass, card or paper, more so than any other Latin American, Asian or African country (Take into account that the graph only shows OECD countries).
In the graph below we can see the ten most polluting rivers on the planet. Two of them are in Africa: the Niger and Nile rivers. The other two in South Asia: the Indus and Ganges rivers. The remaining six are in East and Southeast Asia.
95% of the plastic polluting the World’s oceans comes from just these 10 rivers.
And finally, we finish up where we started, we already know that the ten most polluted rivers are in Africa and in Asia, but which countries are the ones who are actually polluting our oceans with plastic the most, thereby threatening ecosystems and sea life?
Well, the answer is, above all, Asian countries, with China being by far the most polluting country on the planet, followed by Southeast Asia and Pacific countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and more far below, Thailand and Malaysia.
To finalise, seeing turtles with straws up their noses or sea lions asphyxiating in plastic bags is sad, it is far from reality. Researchers came to the conclusion that what traps the most animals actually is fishing gear, lots and lots of fishing gear. The data presented is clear, Third World nations are by far the ones who most pollute our World Oceans due to bad infrastructure, not having facilities in order to treat their waste, and if you want to help animals not getting trapped, pushing for policies that punish commercial fishermen who leave or dispose of nets and other gear in the water might be the way to go.
Blackened School Bus, where 51 European children were bound-up in an attempt to burn them to death.
Jared Taylor and Paul Kersey have called attention to this story again, which has been under-emphasized, even by The Drudge Report:
An African immigrant to Italy, referred to as an “Italian” by mainstream media, apparently didn’t identify as “Italian” in his most radical concern. Actually, he was about to kill 51 indigenous Italian children in “protest” over Africans being turned away at sea rather than their being allowed to disembark into Europe. In a liberal world where people are supposed to be colorblind and value all lives the same, apparently this man was more concerned with fellow African lives, particularly those who died in the Mediterranean hazarding the voyage - and was quite willing to sacrifice European/Italian lives in priority of concern.
This story was one that could have been a disaster of biblical proportions. ...in Italy where at first, it didn’t seem real.
On the heels of what had just happened in New Zealand that something like this would happen…what nearly happened in Italy, is a reminder of the true evil of open borders.
What happened was a Senegalese - an African - bus driver, he abducted 51 Italian children and their chaperones, threatening them over a forty minute ordeal before setting the vehicle on fire. Now officers were able to break the glass windows into the bus…and were luckily, as the fire is beginning to rage, they were able to get all the passengers to safety.
This African did this because he was upset, he was protesting the migrant deaths in the Mediterranean.
And, Mr. Taylor, one of the most important aspects of this story, is that this whole story has kind of gone away. It was in the news for a cup of coffee. Matt Drudge, to his discredit, did not highlight this story, but here’s one of the major reasons why this took place, and if I may read from a Washington Times story, the black African:
sent a video to friends in Italy and Senegal indicating plans for a bold action, with the message, “Africa Rise Up!”
Jared Taylor: Well yes, his bold action was going to be to burn to death 51 children if he could. That’s pretty bold, and here’s a guy who’s protesting the fact that these people from Africa and North Africa are trying to come across the Mediterranean to live in Europe and they’re not making it across. Well, now this will encourage people to let them across, won’t it? We want more of these guys!
Paul Kersey: This is one of the reasons why we talked about last week, Salvini’s (statement that) the Italian Navy is no longer going to be a taxi service. They basically shut down Mediterranean there’s no more illegal migrants coming from Africa. And yet this guy was ready to curate a terror attack to ensure that pipe-line stay open so that…we already know, we’ve seen that most important graphic from Steve Sailer that shows the projected growth rate for the African population:
It’s catastrophic.
He wants them to be able to come over, unmolested to this land of milk and honey that is Italy. This is a guy, again, this black gentleman from Senegal….
Jared Taylor: “Gentleman”..now, you…. Kersey: I do use that word, you said it was a fun week? Jared Taylor: No. Not a fun week Paul Kersey: No, you’re right, you’re right.
Paul Kersey: This was not a gentleman, this was an African terrorist ready to kill White Italians, let’s put it that way.
Jared Taylor: Yes. That’s better.
Paul Kersey: He took all their phones and he ordered the chaperones to bind the students hands with cable ties!
Jared Taylor: He had apparently a little supply of cable-ties, yes.
Paul Kersey: Threatening to spill gas and set the bus ablaze. Now luckily, it was reported, one of the chaperones was only loosely bound, he only loosely bound, he only loosely bound several students hands, so that enabled one of the students to escape…the bus was intercepted on the outskirts of the lawn.
Jared Taylor: No, what happened was that they managed to call the police.
Paul Kersey: Yes.
Jared Taylor: And the Police intercepted the bus.
Paul Kersey: The crisis that nearly happened on Monday, March 20th, is the reason why we are seeing [ethnonationalism win election after election, in places where we’d never seen ethnonationalism win elections before].
Jared Taylor: Well, exactly. This guy became an Italian citizen in 2004. Now, he hasn’t exactly been a model citizen. He’s been convicted in 2007 and 2011 of drunken driving. And, sexual molestation of a minor! What’s this guy doing driving a bus!
Paul Kersey: Yet, he’s been a bus driver for the company of fifteen years. So that means that he had both of those convictions for drunken driving while he was employed as a bus driver!
Jared Taylor: That’s right, that’s right, it makes no sense, does it.
I think more and more Italians are saying, “we don’t need guys like Ousseynou Sy” ...you know, these things don’t get talked about very much in The United States, and they are probably somewhat downplayed in Italy, but this will remain in people’s minds:
Somebody who tried to burn children to death. He told them - “no one will survive today!”
That was his warning, that was his intention.
“Africa Rise-Up!”
Boy oh, boy, if that’s the way Africa rises up, no thanks!

Euro-DNA Nations - [Part 3] healthy self-interest; reaching out to the broad Euro-populations
If our mission to defend European peoples is to be understood and appreciated properly by broad masses enough to gain strength of popularity for success, we must negotiate the common currency of our language.
However, to negotiate that common currency with successful results among the broad masses, our spokesmen and advocates must first of all be disabused of YKW misdirection of terms and concepts of group advocacy so as not to perpetuate social systemic dissolution. By disabusing corrupted terms and concepts and redeploying their corrected proper forms first of all through our spokesmen and dedicated advocates, they can reach out with greater success and popularity to our broader masses to engage in our group systemic homeostasis.
In this discussion with Ecce Lux then, I begin to feel-out a project to rescue terms and concepts that would otherwise structure social systemic homeostasis for European peoples - terms and concepts which have been misrepresented by YKW to tangle, confuse, misdirect and disrupt our group homeostasis.
Our spokesmen and dedicated advocates disabused thus of YKW corrupted terms and concepts first of all and prepared with the proper forms rather for our group homeostatic interests, they can reach out with greater success and popularity to encourage our broader masses to engage defense, fostering and advance of our group interests in coordination and harmony with other peoples - thereby increasing our chances for success as well in that occasion for both intra and intergroup conflict is reduced.
Another red cape they have Whites chasing, I forgot to mention - “equality/inequality”. The matter, rather, for paradigmatic, group management, social systemic homeostasis, is “commensurability/incommensurability”, i.e, do rule structures match and complement the paradigm or not. Casting matters in those qualitative terms allows you to harmonize both intra-group roles and niches AND intergroup relations as you are not rousing conflict and ire through false comparisons which disrespect ecological niche functions.
The Alternative für Deutschland (Alternative for Germany, AfD) party in Germany has formed a “Die Neudeutschen” (The New Germans) group comprised of immigrants and homosexuals which they say will “combat their xenophobic image.”
The message of the new group, according to a report in the Deutsche Welle, is that “all are welcome as long as they agree to an end to illegal mass immigration.”
“Die Neudeutschen” group was formed over the weekend by AfD politicians who all have immigrant roots, and was presented at a press conference in Berlin this week, the report said.
Anton Friesen, an AfD lawmaker from Thuringia, said that the formation of the group was “overdue.”
“Since the AfD was founded, many German citizens with immigrant backgrounds have voted for us,” Friesen told DW.
“Now there is finally an association that gives these people names and faces,” he added. Friesen, who helped initiate the new AfD association, was born in Kazakhstan and moved to Germany with his parents when he was nine years old.
His fellow group spokesman is Alexander Tassis, the son of a Greek migrant worker who is an AfD state lawmaker in Bremen. He is also heads the “Alternative Homosexuals”—an AfD-aligned group for homo, lesbian, bisexual and “transgender” party members. One of the two leaders of the AfD in the German parliament (Bundestag) is Alice Weidel, who is an openly-declared lesbian.
Currently, the “New Germans” group has 20 members who are German citizens with Polish, Iranian and Colombian roots, as well as ethnic Russian-Germans and Romanian-Germans, Friesen said.
With European Parliament elections coming up in May, as well as several key state parliament elections in eastern German states in the fall, “The New Germans” hopes to win over potential voters by holding events on German-Polish relations and what Friesen describes as “the new, imported anti-Semitism.”
With the new group, Friesen hopes to “correct” what he views as an incorrect public image of the party. “The AfD isn’t xenophobic,” he said. Rather, the party is focused on people who are already in Germany.
This includes “patriotically-minded migrants” who advocate for “the protection of our western culture and our values,” Friesen adds. Members must agree to the group’s manifesto, which advocates for “harsh action against all forms of anti-Semitism” and the “comprehensive de-Islamization of Germany.”
It also urges for an “end to illegal mass migration, which undermines the opportunities in life for socially worse off Germans.”
In October 2018, a small number of Jews formed “Jews in the AfD” group to boost Jewish support for the party.
All of these efforts will, of course, have no effect whatsoever, as the controlled media is not interested in protests by the AfD as to how homo- or immigrant-friendly they claim to be. The controlled media and its establishment controllers want nothing less than total subsevince to the race-denying Third World invasion, and the total destruction of all white nations through the swamping and replacement of white people by nonwhites.
Hence, anything less than this will be met with never-ending hostility, smears and lies by the controlled media—a lesson which the AfD will eventually learn the hard way.
As alarm bells sound over the advancing destruction of the environment, a variety of Green New Deal proposals have appeared in the U.S. and Europe, along with some interesting academic debates about how to fund them. Monetary policy, normally relegated to obscure academic tomes and bureaucratic meetings behind closed doors, has suddenly taken center stage.
The 14-page proposal for a Green New Deal submitted to the U.S. House of Representatives by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., does not actually mention Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), but that is the approach currently capturing the attention of the media—and taking most of the heat. The concept is good: Abundance can be ours without worrying about taxes or debt, at least until we hit full productive capacity. But, as with most theories, the devil is in the details.
MMT advocates say the government does not need to collect taxes before it spends. It actually creates new money in the process of spending it; and there is plenty of room in the economy for public spending before demand outstrips supply, driving up prices.
Critics, however, insist this is not true. The government is not allowed to spend before it has the money in its account, and the money must come from tax revenues or bond sales.
In a 2013 treatise called “Modern Monetary Theory 101: A Reply to Critics,” MMT academics concede this point. But they write, “These constraints do not change the end result.” And here the argument gets a bit technical. Their reasoning is that “the Fed is the monopoly supplier of CB currency [central bank reserves], Treasury spends by using CB currency, and since the Treasury obtained CB currency by taxing and issuing treasuries, CB currency must be injected before taxes and bond offerings can occur.”
The counterargument, made by American Monetary Institute (AMI) researchers, among others, is that the central bank is not the monopoly supplier of dollars. The vast majority of the dollars circulating in the United States are created, not by the government, but by private banks when they make loans. The Fed accommodates this process by supplying central bank currency (bank reserves) as needed, and this bank-created money can be taxed or borrowed by the Treasury before a single dollar is spent by Congress. The AMI researchers contend, “All bank reserves are originally created by the Fed for banks. Government expenditure merely transfers (previous) bank reserves back to banks.” As the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis puts it, “federal deficits do not require that the Federal Reserve purchase more government securities; therefore, federal deficits, per se, need not lead to increases in bank reserves or the money supply.”
What federal deficits do increase is the federal debt; and while the debt itself can be rolled over from year to year (as it virtually always is), the exponentially growing interest tab is one of those mandatory budget items that taxpayers must pay. Predictions are that in the next decade, interest alone could add $1 trillion to the annual bill, an unsustainable tax burden.
To fund a project as massive as the Green New Deal, we need a mechanism that involves neither raising taxes nor adding to the federal debt; and such a mechanism is proposed in the U.S. Green New Deal itself—a network of public banks. While little discussed in the U.S. media, that alternative is being debated in Europe, where Green New Deal proposals have been on the table since 2008. European economists have had more time to think these initiatives through, and they are less hampered by labels like “socialist” and “capitalist,” which have long been integrated into their multi-party systems.
A Decade of Gestation in Europe
The first Green New Deal proposal was published in 2008 by the New Economics Foundation on behalf of the Green New Deal Group in the U.K. The latest debate is between proponents of the Democracy in Europe Movement 2025 (DiEM25), led by former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, and French economist Thomas Piketty, author of the best-selling “Capital in the 21st Century.” Piketty recommends funding a European Green New Deal by raising taxes, while Varoufakis favors a system of public green banks.
