Goodbye To California

Dr. Ron Martinelli

[Behind the Blue Wall]

The author of the piece was talking about Los Angeles, which has 10-18 million people, depending on how you define its metro area.

[Behind the Blue Wall]

None of those places mentioned are gated communities. If you live in a gated community in El Salvador, it’s an isolated enclave in the midst of a sea of violence and poverty. It’s basically the opposite in California, isolated pockets of violence and poverty amidst a sea of security and affluence.

It’s definitely headed towards a very bifurcated society, split between rich and poor with no much in the middle, but I grew up five miles from “Little Michoacan” and it’s been exactly the same for fifty years. Not good, but not better or worse than ever. As has neighboring Atherton and Menlo Park. Just as safe and affluent as ever, if not more so.

I stayed in Redwood City at the cheap (but high price) hotel beside the tracks, then drove my rental car on the oher side of the tracks down some residential streets. Lots of curbside car repair, many cars and many kids. Looked like the lowest of the lower middle class. I don’t know how those kids will move up the economic ladder other than car repair. Menlo Park looked ok although houses looked more worn out than similar aged houses on the east coast. Then Palo Alto which seemed to ooze money.

The only way to fix Kalifornia is to deport the millions of illegal aliens, get rid of Motor Votor/ballot harvesting, mandate all-the-same-day voting, and hang or put all the politicians in jail. Short of that it is probably hopeless. The greatest State in the Union has been destroyed by Progressivism.

Prescient for the future ...

Apparently Blue House also forgets that third world shitholes also have neighborhoods where the very wealthy and elite live in perfect comfort and safety away from the hordes of peons and criminals that populate the rest of their countries.
Nicaragua, Honduras, Mexico, El Salvador, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Egypt, Libya, Algeria, Yemen, Oman, Zambia, Angola, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Maylaysia, Cambodia, Thailand, Philippines, Columbia, Venezuela, Argentina, and many more SH!THOLES have some beautiful cities where the wealthy live in splendor and most of the people live in squalor.

Well the “aged” look is probably more a function of aesthetics than money, but yeah, much of Redwood City iisna barrio with thin chances of upward mobility.

While residing in New Mexico and working
in Houston, I traveled I-10 on long
weekends and holidays. 699 miles one way.
After noticing the amount of California
plated vehicles headed east on I-10, on
my next trip, I kept a count of how many
I encountered. There 111, mostly rental
trucks loaded up. California is bleeding
out.

“That is to say ..who doesn’t have any real loyalties or principles.”

That lack does seem to give the forces of evil an advantage, doesn’t it?

>>California is not Third World.<<

Obviously depends on how one defines Third World. Judging from all that I see and hear, its major cities sure seem like “third world” to me. Personally I have no use for Leftists or their “utopias”, so I would never again set foot in that State.

[fortes fortuna juvat]

>>It’s spreading throughout the entire west. Nevada, Colorado and New Mexico are now near single party Leftist. The results in 10 or so years will be the same as in CA. Arizona is threatened...which leaves only Idaho, Montana, Alaska and Wyoming. And inroads have been made in Montana and Alaska. The entire country is swirling down the toilet bowl.<<

Well and truly said. And by the way, Alaska, per capita, is now one of the highest crime states in the country, or so I’ve read.

[fortes fortuna juvat]

>>That’s is literally the definition of third world. The place is a crowded hellhole, everything is illegal..BUT if you are wealthy and can go to one of the cloistered elite enclaves, it’s really neat.<<

Excellent catch!

I noticed there was no response to your post 32. Don’t you feel bad bringing up facts to spoil someone’s fun?

Take a look at the Veteran’s Party of America. We’re small, but growing. We had 250,000 votes for our presidential candidate in the states we were allowed on the ballot, with only 1 1/2 years effort and him losing his wife during the campaign.

We have ballot access in 7 states and working on it currently in 41 states and the other two are re-organizing.

I’m not a vet. I’m working in the party administration. It’s not just for vets. It’s a party built by vets for America.

Conservative for most issues, middle of the road on others. Strong military and 2nd Amendment rights supporters.

It usually takes an assault, not death to convince the lefty to become an R, for law enforcement and order. All it may take is one of their own being raped and tortured by the “spark of the divine” animals and it will finally click. But they have walls around their homes, the country does not.

Though I think many hard working Californians might wish to defend their state against the criticism in this article, that is not the point. The Death Spiral of increasing government spending, and the draining away of the tax base is clearly well underway. One day it will reach the point of no return. The question that needs to be asked is if that day has already past?
