The Night of … 1638
Don’t Come Round Here No More
I don’t know what you’ve been told, but you’re not welcome in America.
Did I ever mention my Stand-up Irony career? The career that never was? Humans don’t like irony. Especially when it’s “on them.” When they are being ironic and don’t notice it. We’ve no examples at the moment, but maybe something will emerge before the end of this song.
From the many accounts of chronicled time, also known as his story, the Americas continent was “never” very densely populated. “Never,” referring to the post-deluvian world. Writer and researcher Graham Hancock seems to think that before the cataclysm, this continent (contiguous and not split into North and South) had a very vibrant and prosperous and peaceful population. Then the rains came. And the waters rose and the earth split and a majority of the fauna, including humans were wiped out.
We, (meaning humans) take it for granted that it’s pretty easy to settle a wilderness, with your John Deer tractors and power tools and stuff. Increasingly, however, your humble observer, has been able to adjust the way-back simulation to receive a more accurate image of what it might have been like to set foot on “America” in Y1K.
“I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Outta Here!”
There were never going to be enough White people on the planet to fill up America, Australia, or South Africa, for that matter. Let alone all three, plus New Zealand. So they (The Crown) had to send criminals. But that still wasn’t enough. Can you even imagine getting a charter in the 1600s for 46,000 square miles of land? The arrogance of that issuance notwithstanding. By 1680, a year before Penn got the charter, there were only 20,000 Quakers. Even if Penn wanted to give a square mile, (remember there are mountains in Pennsylvania,) to all the Quakers in England, they wouldn’t fill up the 33rd biggest state in the US. Penn gave out one square-acre plots to his friends, but those greedy bastards subdivided and sub-subdivided the gifts.
Why?
Because Philly was near the river and nobody really wanted to go through the hassle of “developing” anything west of … maybe the Schuylkill River? Anyway, 344-ish years later, America is still not filled up. There’s plenty of space. But space isn’t the problem. The government doesn’t know how it’s going to siphon your life force from you and infuse into the pockets of the greedy bastards of today.
Where the “irony” comes in, is within the last five years. First, a global plandemic shuts everything down but the US border, (liquor stores, and Wally World) and – reportedly – millions of humans came across US borders, into the country without documentation and were trafficked all over the US. You remember the “invasion of Martha’s Vineyard” right?
[Just a note here; Your humble scribe doesn’t know if the aforementioned episode was “real” or more of this Ironic Theater that’s been running this decade. So, if you’re reading this, You can take it as if I am describing some nighttime serial like “Dallas” or “Dynasty.”]
AI says an estimated 14 million “illegal immigrants” entered the US between 2021 and 2023.
That looks like a big number, but it doesn’t change the portion of the US population in relation to the world population. It’s still less than 5%. This number is comparable to the population of Pennsylvania, about 13 million. It’s about a million fewer than the US population of middle class White women on meds. If William Penn had had 14 million Quakers, he could have filled the state right up.
It’s a matter of perspective too. 14 million worker/consumer/voters that can be taxed, double taxed, triple taxed and leveraged into pyramid schemes, paints a different picture than 14 million mouths to feed, with 3.5 million on the way.
So now, the Government – [Another note – Your humble vagabond would not be surprised if the US did not even have a “proper” government. Rumors of military intelligence making decisions – even AI. Not ready to buy that one yet. The junk mail still gets delivered though.]
In any case, who or whatever is running the show – is rounding up some ones and sending off to; not-where-they-came-from. Or is that part of the show too?
The kids in the fam go around telling each other, “You’re getting deported!” Where did they hear that? School maybe? Is that what teachers are telling the misbehaving kiddies? Is that the threat?
“No way Jose, I’m not sending you to the principal … You’re getting DEPORTED!!!”
“Ice Ice Bay-bee!”
“Whaaaaaahhh!”
The turmoil in the United States is keeping tourists away too.
“Hey, y’all can come. Just don’t think about staying. Or you’ll get deported.”
But it’s not just tourists. We’re hearing that foreign (money bags) students aren't coming either. Not even Indians! (Shucks!)
Foreign students get dissed in class, dissed in the quad, get accused of being spies, not hired for gigs and then deported when they graduate. They are increasingly finding that a US edumacation isn’t measuring up to what they can get at home. Especially in China.
So, we don’t have any immigrants we can under pay and over charge for cigarettes and shit.
No foreign students who pay full tuition, room and board and support the local bad food economy on campus. (Freshman 15, ya know.)
We don’t have tourists that we can over charge for Micky Mouse ears, cotton candy, and rides that make you barf. And we don’t have those gamblers – Chinese love to gamble – feeding slot machines until they, (the slots) barf up some coins.
And, oh yeah – Not even the US war industrial complex is in demand any more. China, Russia and even North Korea make better weapons at better prices! (We’ve mentioned in the series about people sleepin’ on NK.)
So it’s looking like the US is in pretty bad shape. We’re still ironically optimistic. If America can de-Eurofy the system, the way the East is de-Eurofying, um… Europe, maybe we can have nice things again.
