Having been forced off the boards of Sprott, NovaGold, and Ivanhoe mines and excommunicated from mainstream business media following his comments earlier in the week, Gloom, Boom, & Doom Report writer Marc Faber responds to his racism allegations…

“I have been labeled by the mainstream media as a racist – I don’t think this corresponds at all with reality.

 

I wrote a report about capitalism and socialism and about private property rights, and I also wrote about the tendency nowadays to want to rewrite history.

 

In the US they are trying to tear down statues of people who had a different view from other people at the time… they also tried to tear down statues of Columbus..

 

I think that when you have civilization, when you have culture, you should remember your past.

 

Our past – the white man – has certainly not been glorious, it’s been very cruel with the periods of imperialism and colonialism being very cruel.

 

But the fact is that the white man and the Europeans brought a lot of skills and knowledge and a work ethic that built a very prosperous society… until very recently.

 

I think that to try to deny the fact that the western white man made America great is just not right and for that reason I was attacked very badly.”

The conversation then continues to discuss cultural clashes, skin color, religion, confederate statues, African repression, capitalism, gold, bitcoin, Hillary Clinton, the swamp, President Trump, and America’s military-industrial complex running foreign policy.

We suspect Faber’s reponse will do him no favors in this age of ever-increasing virtue-signaling, but he has at least clarified his perspective.

Indeed where does the slander of racism come from.Racism was a word invented by who ? Do your own research.

I think he’s referring to this maybe:

“From the French word racisme, dating back to 1865-70. ”

Marc Faber’s error in what he said was to allude to blacks. He did not need to make mention of any other group.

Some have said, and not without reason and sense, that Faber being a septuagenarian with billions of dollars to his name and domicile outside the United States means he may be out of touch with the hyper-sensitive PC culture of 2017 America. While that may be true, I disagree that this is a reason he spoke as he did. If he knows that leftists are trying to tear down statues due to twisted political agendas and historical illiteracy, he knows something about the history of western socieities. As a Swiss who worked and lived in America, he knows what white people are like and he was also exposed to nonwhites.

Let’s imagine an alternative history in which the Industrial Revolution that changed Europe had an identical counterpart in Japan at the exact same time, and that the subsequent trade meant Japan modernized far earlier than the 1860s. Let us further suppose that all this happened so far back in time that by the time the North American continent was first colonized by outsiders, it was the Japanese and not Germans, Brits, Dutchmen, and Frenchmen who brought new communities to what because the United States.

Let us further suppose that this colonial Japan had the military might that Great Britain had in the 1600s and 1700s.

Even if what became of the colonies under Japanese rule, guidance, and culture became flourishing colonies which ultimately became a powerful nation-state willing and able to defeat Japan in a revolutionary war, thus becoming independent, would these colonies have been different – from the 13 Colonies that became free and independent states?

If so, how different? Would not the Japanese hierarchical system, the concepts of duty and filial piety, etc., all have left their mark on the new colonies?

I use Japan because it was for a long time the only true First World nation outside Europe, North America, New Zealand, and Australia. It has been an industrial and economic powerhouse for decades. It was a formidable foe for the U.S. and the UK in the Pacific War. And today it is known for extremely low crime rates, 100% literacy, a safe and clean country, and advanced, civilized behavior.

But there is no way that the United States would be in 2017 what it is today had Japan, and not England, colonized the New World. This doesn’t mean the Japanese are racially inferior to white Englishmen – it simply means they are very culturally different.

Faber could have made this point without mentioning blacks. By omitting blacks from his conversation and subsequently expounding as I’ve attempted to do, no one could have called him a racist.

Any race, ethnicity or culture that hates itself will eventually disappear.

Great job, white leftists!

That’s why you have statues in public places……

So you can reflect on the past mistakes that were made back then, and try not to repeat them once again!!

And who gets to decide what were the “mistakes”? Apparently the communists….The fact that there are major genetic differences between isolated breeding groups, aka “races”, including differences in intelligence, is a well established fact. SubSaharans have an average IQ of 70, which is confirmed by the fact that they have never had a civilization of any kind.

On a day when being called an empty barrel is racist, You literally wonder how far the insanity can go. Unfortunately, it can go on a lot farther. Faber is no more a racist than the empty barrel congresswoman who accuses Trump of racism. This country is headed for a civil war. Bring it on. Out.

The term racist is loosely used by leftist, and afro americans, to silence dissent, to silence any criticism of afro antisocial behavior, to silence challenges to revisionist history, and to coral Whites into self destructive guilt that constantly submits to unreasonable afro demands. Well meaning libs desperately claim that afros just want to peacefully integrate with the rest of society, but the last 50 years has not shown this to be the case. This begs the question: how long can we tolerate this? And if we continue to tolerate this, how much longer can we endure before we eventually become a failed state (at least regionally).

I do not say this to be provocative. The welfare state is our biggest govt expense, thus our biggest cause of debt. And afros are our biggest recipients of welfare entitlements, with a constant demand for more (and very little appreciation for it). Many will dispute this claim by pointing to the military industrial complex. That is true up to a point, but State and Local goverments don’t have national defense budgets. [and I am not even factoring in the cost of all the afro initiated crime against the rest of society… where afro americans kill more American residents than any other group, including terrorist].

Even in the private sector, much of the current auto loan, and credit card debt, is from giving unqualified loans to afros. The housing crisis genesis is from Clinton’s 90s anti redlining lawsuit against banks, which resulted in the granting of subprime mortgages to afros (and eventually everyone else). We must admit at an estimated overall debt levels of 70 Trillion dollars, and bonds being issued to cover current govt expense, instead of govt capital projects, we have a huge problem that will not be paid off.

The canaries in the coal mine is when more & more cities/states become default. We are already seeing this with municipalities such as: Stockton, Camden, Detroit, and East St Louis, to name a few. And if we do become a failed state, what do you think will be the afro response: sorry mr white man for breaking the bank, by demanding too much; or kill whitey (and everyone else who even looks like whitey = everyone else who is not Black). We can try to ignore these problems, but eventually these problems will not ignore us.

Clearly making reference to anything related to Blacks
sets one up for the charge of racism. I so wish we could
just ignore them altogether, and they of course, would thrive
beyond measure, by ignoring whites. Instead of ignoring whites,
however, the Blacks, as a group, wish to extort $ upon the threat
of violence against others. Blacks may be a huge basket of
deplorables. (hat tip HRC)

First comment on ZH:

“And still he hasn’t said anything factually wrong.”

Asking when that will matter is like asking when the market will top.

Truth is always the first victim.

Then there was ”Jimmy the Greek”.

Faber is only the most recent to fall victim to the Alinsky crock of Bullboogers. Ridicule them to deflect their arguments is #4 or #5 in the Alinskyites ten commandments.

We the People must begin ridiculing them as well.

Antiracism is simply the latest mask of bolshevist mass murderers. The best way to understand the twisted minds of these lunatics is to read Solshenizyn’s Gulag Archipelago.

Racist is the nigger of our age.

It strips a man of his dignity as an individual and reduces him to a slur based, ironically, on the color of his skin. In a world focused on equality over excellence we are not lifted up but rather reduced to our lowest common denominator.

It’s tit for tat in a world where keeping account of every jot and tittle has been outsourced from God himself to petty bureaucrats buried in the bowels of the department of social justice.

When men dare not speak freely for risk of losing everything they have worked for simply for stating the truth as they perceive it, the gulags are not far off.

Recognize it for what it is- a tool to flays a man’s character, the harrow that etches the words of his sentence upon him forever…
