Video: A Quick Lesson: What Whites really do to Jews in Pogroms and Holocausts
Ive looked at lots of literature over the years where the Jews claim Whites are slaughtering them. They cite pogroms as a nasty feature of their past. And then some pogroms are then called holocausts. But what exactly really happens? Is there any evidence of what exactly transpires between Whites and Jews?


According to Bloomberg’s Misery Index, which ranks major economies by inflation and unemployment expectations, South Africa is the third-most miserable economy in the world.

Only Venezuela and Argentina fared worse.

The US suffered the biggest decline in fortunes, weakening from 50th place to number 25.

South Africa has just been ranked as the world’s most miserable economy after Venezuela and Argentina.

Bloomberg’s Misery Index, which ranks major economies by inflation and unemployment expectations, shows South Africa is at the third-worst position among major economies.

While the local inflation rate of around 2.2% is the lowest in 15 years, the official unemployment rate of 30% is the highest in a decade. Government estimates that between 3 and 7 million people could lose their jobs this year.

Thailand, Singapore, and Japan registered as the least miserable nations, with Switzerland in fourth place.

The US jumped up sharply in the misery index – from number 50 to 25.

Economists expect near-term inflation to slide below 1% in the US as a drop in consumer spending drives steady disinflation. The nation’s unemployment rate spiked as high as 13.4% in the second quarter from a pre-pandemic reading of 3.5%, ranking among the worst labor market tumbles around the world.

Israel, Iceland, and Panama were the only countries to suffer a drop close to that seen in the US, according to Bloomberg. Of the world’s largest economies, China and Japan declined the least, while the eurozone and the UK both experienced bigger jumps in joblessness and drops in inflation.

Luxembourg’s economy improved the most between 2019 and 2020, by leaping to rank 30 from 47.

Not all index improvements equate to economic happiness, according to Bloomberg. Some higher rankings were fuelled by demand hits that pushed inflation expectations into negative territory. The top four least miserable economies of 2020 all expect deflation to hit in the near future. Such a trend would likely harm borrowers and worsen already steep recessions.

Video: How America built UFOs
This video is about military secrecy. We study a documentary from 2011 when a lot of Area 51 information was declassified and when some people, including a high level CIA official were allowed to speak.I discuss my time when I was young when I was in the South African Navy and I handled Secret and Top Secret files and how these things work in real life.
