Life expectancy in the USA hits a record high

According to a new government report, Americans are living longer as
death rates fall. Rates also dropped for nearly all the leading causes
of death. However, the suicide rate reached its highest point in 25
years and it’s not clear as to why.

The news is a little better for women, a little worse for men. Life
expectancy for females is 81.2 years; for males, it's 76.4 years. That
difference of 4.8 years is the same as in 2011.

The average life expectancy for a person who was 65 years old in 2012
is 19.3 years – 20.5 years for women and 17.9 years for men. The
difference in life expectancy at 65 years between males and females
increased 0.1 year from 2.5 years in 2011 to 2.6 years in 2012.

The world has been mining coal for 200 years, and oil for 100 years.
During a new Recovery Era, coal and oil extraction would start again
within two months, with full production within ten years.

There's no such definition. These conclusions are absurd. There are
500 million Europeans. The "mass migration" is less that 1%, far less
than the 40% supposedly necessary to impose Sharia law. I doubt that
there are even enough jihadists to install Sharia law in Malmo Sweden.
1% is sizable, when you consider the effect that 1% has had in terms of creating havoc and threatening the bankruptcy and political destabilization of northern Europe. Asymmetric warfare exploits the weaknesses of the opponents. In the case of Europe, particularly Sweden, the weakness is that the host country is bestowing free benefits and not requiring the invaders to do anything to get them. The reporter in the above video is pointing to the fact that men are sitting in the mall doing nothing, while the woman who is interviewed at the end of the video says there are no jobs.

Also, mass migrations involve women and children, but this invasion is being conducted largely by military aged men. The Quaran and the Muslim leadership defines how this migration or invasion or whatever you want to call it is conducted. But if they want to send an army in,I can't think of a better way to do it than to go to a host country and stay there and wait unobstructed and unopposed while draining resources from the host.

The Vikings probably invaded the coast of England with less than 1% of the local population, etc., but previous civilizations were never receptive to a population like this entering and plundering their country.
While the periphery breaks down rather slowly at first, the capital cities of the hegemon should collapse suddenly and violently.

This is an extrapolation of a trend, but all is not well underneath the overall big statistics. It's like saying world population is at a record high. Meanwhile, recent birth data from Japan and Western Europe is below replacement.

About 54% of the new arrivals are women and children whose husbands
arrived in Europe last year and have sent for their families.

The statistics above were for Syria alone. It was said that the initial wave was 75% military aged men. This makes it look better, but there is nothing I can point to that puts a happier face on anything to the point of indicating the world is not entering a new dark age. Up until late 2011, none of the language I used was clear on that point; in other words I posted for 3 years here without clearly saying the world is entering a new dark age.

As we noted before the enclaves will develop unless force dissolves, or maintains the extraction process.

Fiat print regimes factors into control with far less subterfuge. Last information was eighty percent was owned by the private bank reserves.
As for the so called crisis Morgan was back door supplied currency also. The total construct as noted patently points to this
plantation model and the loss of over seven percent of landmass to foreign control . We have already noted the cluster models of effects and transmission of the node trade linkages. To simplify the effects we infer the annual liquidation rate of any resource we call compounds.

Islam has established the no-go zones in Europe as the article states. We have these in the US too, but it's a different thing because it's commerce (drug dealing or, more generally, crime). In my experience, no harm will generally come to anyone who goes into a gang-established zone in the US and follows the rules. I have operated in them. It doesn't seem so with Islam.

My education on Islam started with receiving warnings in the 1990s from an elderly friend who is now deceased. He read all of the books and historical material he could find on Islam at the local library. He passed away 3 or 4 years ago at the age of 96. Though I doubted him, I have come to find that everything he warned of was correct.

What he warned of is consistent with the article you cited. He was Swedish, by the way.

This a book Gerry repeatedly recommended I read - I had no interest, but listened to him talk about it.

This is quite an interesting subject. I have a chemical engineering degree. Below I will list the courses chemical engineering majors at my alma mater are no longer required to take that I was required to take:

Mechanics of Materials
Circuits
Circuits Lab
Properties of Gases, Liquids and Solids
Engineering Materials in Design
Physical Chemistry I
Physical Chemistry II

Interestingly, infrastructure engineering requires a shitload of material out of these courses. But if the US doesn't make steel anymore, why require US based engineering students to learn how to make steel, right?

Let's take another look at this map and instead focus on where mortality has improved the most (dark blue zones).

It's improved in the highly industrialized areas that:
1. Have lost a lot of industry
2. Have been subjected to EPA cleanup regulations

Houston, Chicago, Milwaukee, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Detroit, Rochester, NY, etc.

Also, the areas where there are high percentages of Mexicans (probably skews the statistics).
