Yours truly at an overlook to the Lake of the Clouds and the Porcupine Mountains State Forest….. and, below, at Bonanza Falls, near White Pine, in the western Upper Peninsula of Michigan.
(I have spent the last 3.5 years in the U.P. and I spent six in western Pennsylvania. I have lived in thirteen states as a civilian or in the Marines: RI, MA, NY, VA, SC, NC, CA, LA, TN, GA, NH, PA and MI, and also in France and Austria.)
A reader asked me on Facebook Messenger:
“John, tell me — be honest — what state do you like more: Pennsylvania or the U.P. of Michigan, and why?
.
Cuz I’m thinking about moving out of here, and looking at all options. Personally, I would think Pennsylvania is better, probably more scenic and more history to it.”
My reply:
Have you seen this yet?

PA has, yes, certain big advantages, but also huge disadvantages.
Pittsburgh is a truly great city — friendly but sophisticated, with lots of tech and still a few steel mills, and most of all, it is 2/3rds white.
In a nuclear war, however, Pennsylvania will be annihilated.
It has tempting nuclear targets:
–12 million people,
–the major cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh,
–and a lot of military bases, vital industry and infrastructure,
–also the Raven Rock complex, north of Camp David, Maryland – the bunkers underneath a mountain for our filthy, rotten jew-infested “elite” to ride out WW3.
After the nuclear exchange with Russia (and probably China), the feds will reassert their iron control immediately over the poor people who have survived in Pennsylvania.
Now, the quality and decency of the people in the UP is much, much higher, being 80% German, Swedish and Finnish: more honest, more friendly and more attractive. I was out for a drink last night, and the bar was full of really attractive blond women. Not true in PA.
PA has lots of Poles, Sicilians, and Redneck Scotch-Irish Appalachian types (just read “Hillbilly Elegy,” by a former Kentucky redneck who grew up and went to Yale University on both the good and the bad he saw in his own culture),
.
.
A small minority of them (the ones who keep the state cops and sheriffs busy) are truly dangerous, treacherous, dishonest people, (I hate to say it) “white trash” who do drugs, molest their own kids, get drunk and laze about — and they will lie, steal, cheat, defame, backstab and betray you, and even cut your throat after you help them.
I speak from six long years of daily experience, 2008-14.
Western Pennsylvania also has non-stop rain for much of the year, and no evergreens except in peoples’ yards, so the trees are bare for six months out of the year — gray tree trunks — and the sky too is gray and drizzly.
The UP, however, has tons of sunshine 🙂 and evergreen trees, so it is green even in the fall and winter.
Houghton is a sophisticated little college town of 10,000 , and the home of Michigan Technical University
Now if WWIII does happens, as per the Van Rensburg prophesy about which I have blogged a dozen times, you can still hunt and fish up here to feed yourself and your family — with just 300,000 people spread over 13,000 square miles. Not like PA with 12 million hungry mouths.
Here come a few hundred sandwiches right here. 😉
Of course, if the Russian do a “Sakharov” on the US East Coast (and set off underwater H-Bombs to tsunami the US East Coast) the eastern half of Pennsylvania will be “swimmin’ wit’ da fishes.”
From this
to this (temporarily, but before the waters recede, everyone will drown)
The advantage of a tsunami bomb (and many believe the Thailand tsunami of 2004, which killed 400,000 people, was a test firing of such a bomb by the NWO) is that the land is not radioactive – just the people and flimsy structures are gone.
.
.
If WWIII does not happen, then PA has many good points: culture, good cities, low mountains, rivers, and many good people, if sometimes a bit morose.
In any case, the UP is not flat, but hilly, and with tremendous natural beauty.
A peaceful and friendly place, a bit boring but nice, to actually marry, have and raise kids.
