A speechless moment last night: A LOT of local people here like me a lot, know who I am, and are beyond outraged at the terrible economy here in Ontonagon and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

One told me that in this area full of oceans of trees and now-closed paper mills, such as this town’s and the one is Manistique, which closed Monday, our paper is imported -.- from CHINA!!!

The UP is an ocean of trees, surrounded by an ocean of fresh water, sitting on an ocean of copper — and everyone is poor.

The Upper Midwest of the United States is a deep green from forests and rich agricultural lands.

 Ontonagon, Upper Michigan, has lost 1) shipbuilding, 2) copper mining and now the last economic leg it stood on, 3) the paper mill, which was closed when highly profitable ….. and it was ripped to pieces, the million-dollar air-pollution scrubber was cut and chopped up for scrap metal (I talked to a welder involved), the mill foundation was dynamited, and even the railroad tracks were being pried up and taken away. (Why? Because Wall Street bloodsuckers want to depress paper production and jack up prices; they are opposed to any prosperity in the paper industry; they just want higher profits. Call it the religion of “shareholder value.”)

Ontonagon is right on the largest lake on earth, is surrounded by forests, and the ground is full of copper

  • John D. Nugent China is a country without trees! Just rice paddies, cities and in the west, deserts! How the HELL can it be cheaper to make paper in China and ship it back here???? We have high.tech, advanced paper mills, trained lumberjacks,  saw mill operators, experienced paper mill workers, and all about us quadzillions of trees right here!
    So the wood pulp is shipped 12, 000 miles from here to China, they make the paper — and then ship it back? A businessman told me last night: On the paper we use, it says “MADE IN CHINA”

  • John D. Nugent  As a French print newsletter (by revisionist René-Louis Berclaz) called Courrier du Continent points out, the Left/liberals for 30 years now have done NOTHING for the working class. The ENTIRE focus of the Left now is “fighting homophobia, antisemitism, male sexism and white racism.” PERIOD.
    The working class can go sell their bodies on the street corner as male or female prostitutes, work at McDonald’s, sell heroin, or (like many here in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan) join the military and (after getting 16 vaccinations, which will make them sterile or cause them to have autistic kids) go off and kill other innocent working-class people in the Middle East.

  • John D. Nugent What I saw in Apollo, Pa., that shocked me (that is, several men told me about it), and I bet it may be going on up here in Ontonagon, Michigan, too, is

    decent women who are getting desperate are SELLING THEMSELVES to men for sex for a going price of $40 in order to pay the light bill, the rent, the bare necessities of life.

  • John D. Nugent Another person told me she and her husband make too much for free medical, and now under Obamacare they pay $600 a month and have a ten-thousand-dollar deductible! That means they have to pay the first $10K themselves if they get sick!

  • John D. Nugent The Upper Peninsula of Michigan — all green areas are official national forest, but most of the UP is trees, with a population of 300,000. It is a seven-hour drive from west to east in the U.P.
    'The Upper Peninsula of Michigan -- full of copper and of trees for lumber, paper or heating fuel, but instead "we" (= the parasite, psychopath scum that runs OUR country) imports paper across the frigging OCEAN from China, we bring in copper from Chile, and we bring in fuel from everywhere. We have the highest electricity rates in the United States, and a $40 surcharge every month on every water bill so some Wall Street fat-cat gets even more obscenely wealthy. Everywhere I see despair and worry in the faces of the good people of the UP.'
    John D. Nugent
    I am sick at heart at the poverty and unnecessary suffering I see everywhere I go in a land that should be rich, but it is only for our Wall Street fatcats:

  1. JUST WANT TO KNOW IF THE GUY WHO RUNS THE WEBSITE KINK.COM IS JEWISH. THE SICK SITE ROUTINELY FEATURES WHITE BLOND WOMEN BEING SEXUALLY DEGRADED IN A MOST DISTURBING MANNER. THE SICKO WHO OWNS THE SITE IS CALLED PETER ACKWORTH OR SO. I CAN BET MY LIFE HE IS JEWISH BUT JUST WANT TO BE SURE.

  2. A comrade from Lower Michigan wrote me:

    Yes, Michigan that’s my home, too. I grew up in Orangeville (Barry County). There was a large paper mill in Plainwell (the next town over) that finally shut down in ’04, turning that town into a ghost town.

    I worked at the slaughter house in Plainwell (JBS) for years……just so happens it is owned by a Brazilian and employs foreigners……as white Anglo-Americans we are being replaced in our own lands…..I recently moved to Kansas.
