Coming to my attention a year late is Marc “Dr. Doom” Faber, an eccentric economist, low-quality prophet and awesome, kick-ass pundit. Doom was Converged out of his work in October 2017 for unrepentant race realism.
‘Dr. Doom’ Faber: ‘Thank God white people populated America’
https://www.cnbc.com/2017/10/17/dr-doom-faber-thank-god-white-people-populated-america.html
Market doomsayer Marc “Dr. Doom” Faber has launched a racially charged diatribe in his latest newsletter, alleging that the U.S. is great primarily because it is ruled by white people.
The eccentric Gloom, Boom & Doom report author, who often speaks on CNBC and other financial media, generally forecasting some type of market downturn, focused his latest comments on the racial conflicts happening around the country.
(A CNBC spokesperson said it will not book him in the future.)
How mature of them. The only thing worse than CNBC punishing a man for speaking well of its own white customers is the fact that many of those white customers probably couldn’t accept the compliment at face value:
“And thank God white people populated America, and not the blacks. Otherwise, the US would look like Zimbabwe, which it might look like one day anyway, but at least America enjoyed 200 years in the economic and political sun under a white majority,” he wrote.
“I am not a racist, but the reality . no matter how politically incorrect . needs to be spelled out.”
Reached for comment via email, Faber did not back away from his statements to CNBC.
Yes, this is how you do it. Speak truth and do not apologize. Doom still got deplatformed but that was the worst the SJWs could do to him.
“If stating some historical facts makes me a racist, then I suppose that I am a racist. For years, Japanese were condemned because they denied the Nanking massacre,” he told CNBC in an email.
In the newsletter, Faber’s comments address the confrontation in Charlottesville, Virginia, directly. Protesters clashed in August over a white nationalist rally called Unite the Right in Charlottesville, where officials were debating the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue from the University of Virginia campus.
The violence sparked a national debate over race and monuments that honor prominent Confederate figures that Faber decided to weigh in on.
Faber called the monuments “statues of honourable people whose only crime was to defend what all societies had done for more than 5,000 years: keep a part of the population enslaved.”
Ouch. Putting aside the fact that the War of Northern Aggression wasn’t about slavery, Faber has an excellent point. Most societies are at least partly feminized and women don’t accept equality. All men are either above them or below them, and the easiest way for a man to be sexy is to cut down all the men around him. This is the driving force behind slavery in all of its history and forms.
Per Wikipedia, Faber was subsequently asked to resign from the boards of Ivanhoe Mines, Sprott Inc. and NovaGold Resources. U.S-based Sunshine Silver Mining Corp, Vietnam Growth Fund managed by Dragon Capital, and Indochina Capital Corporation also dismissed him, Faber told Reuters. CNBC, Fox Business, and Bloomberg TV said that they do not plan to book Faber in the future. Faber continues to stand by his remarks.
His article isn’t available on the Internet but Business Insider published the relevant excerpt:
In the October edition of his report, which is available only in print and was seen by Business Insider, Faber focused on the economic policies of major governments.
In a section of the report discussing “Free Markets and Capitalism Versus Socialism,” Faber variously decried the tearing down of Confederate monuments as well as what he called the “liberal media” and New York City’s “righteous socialist” mayor, Bill de Blasio.
Faber said contemporary society focused too much on issues like the monuments rather than on issues such as the growing amount of outstanding debt and “unfunded government pension liabilities.” The report then went into an aside regarding his thoughts on the Confederate monuments.
From the report:
I don’t want to enter into a serious discussion of the tearing down of monuments of historical personalities, but I cannot omit mentioning how the liberal hypocrites condemned the Taliban when they blew up the world’s two largest standing Buddhas (one of them 165 feet high), situated at the foot of the Hindu Kush mountains of central Afghanistan, in 2001. But the very same people are now disturbed by statues of honourable people whose only crime was to defend what all societies had done for more than 5,000 years: keep a part of the population enslaved. And thank God white people populated America, and not the blacks. Otherwise, the US would look like Zimbabwe, which it might look like one day anyway, but at least America enjoyed 200 years in the economic and political sun under a white majority. I am not a racist, but the reality . no matter how politically incorrect . needs to be spelled out as well. (And let’s not forget that the African tribal heads were more than happy to sell their own slaves to white, black, and Arab slave dealers.)
Well, THAT clears the picture. He didn’t just thank God for White America, he outed the SJWs as hypocritical terrorists and remembered that Black Americans were originally sold into slavery by their own people. Doctor Doom bit the hand that fed him but it was likely coming anyway. Some of his economic predictions from Wikipedia:
Faber is credited for advising his clients to get out of the stock market before the October 1987 crash.
So, he did have accomplishments early in his pundit career.
In 2000s … In December 2008, Faber said, “I think a recovery will not come in the next couple of years, maybe in five, 10 years’ time”. Subsequently, the S&P 500 index rose by 48% from 865.58 on January 1, 2009 to 1282.62 on January 1, 2011.
In 2009, Faber predicted with 100% confidence that the Federal Reserve’s policy of keeping interest rates near zero would lead to hyperinflation approaching levels seen in Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe’s inflation rate reached 89 sextillion percent in a previous report.
It seems Faber also accurately predicted the 2010 housing bubble. What he didn’t predict was the lengths the Obama administration went to in order to prop up those insolvent banks. While the S&P 500 Index gained 50%, I worked five different jobs to put food on my table.
In 2012, Faber claimed that there was a “100% chance” of a global economic recession later that year or in early 2013. Subsequently, the average world product grew steadily by 3.4% in each of 2012, 2013 and 2014, and 3.5% in 2015.
In 2012, Faber predicted that the S&P 500 index would fall at least 20% within 6.9 months following the re-election of Barack Obama.[19] Subsequently, the S&P 500 index rose from a low of 1359.88 on November 16, 2012 to 1480.40 as of January 1, 2013, 1570.70 on April 1, 2013 (up 15% from the November low, 6 months after Faber’s prediction), 1668.68 on July 1, 2013 (up 22% from the November 2012 low) and 1783.54 on November 1, 2013 (up 31%).
After those impressive banking gains during America’s Second Great Depression, these statistics have been cooked beyond all possibility of accurately measuring economic reality.
On March 27, 2013, Faber said that the U.S. is creating nowhere-to-hide bubbles in many emerging economies such as Indonesia, Philippines, and Thailand (up four times from 2009 lows).
On September 23, 2014, Faber said we have “bubbles everywhere”.
Those banking gains had to come from somewhere. Maybe Doctor Doom was a better predictor of “economics assuming no globalist intervention”:
On January 14, 2015, Faber predicted that gold prices will rise by 30% in 2015. Gold prices subsequently fell by 14% from $1234 on January 14, 2015 to $1060 on December 31, 2015.
Gold is a famous hedge against inflation and uncertainty. Per the following website, gold stayed high in 2015 until 19 June at $1,200. It then dropped steadily and didn’t rise back above $1,100 until 10 August. It stayed above $1,100 until 5 November, when it quickly but erratically dropped to around $1,060.

What Faber didn’t predict was Donald Trump. Trump announced his Presidential campaign on 16 June. Election day was 3 November.
Faber has been long term bearish about the American economy for a number of years, and continues to be so. He concluded his June 2008 newsletter with the following mock quote:
“The federal government is sending each of us a $600 rebate. If we spend that money at Wal-Mart, the money goes to China. If we spend it on gasoline it goes to the Arabs. If we buy a computer it will go to India. If we purchase fruit and vegetables it will go to Mexico, Honduras and Guatemala. If we purchase a good car it will go to Germany. If we purchase useless crap it will go to Taiwan and none of it will help the American economy. The only way to keep that money here at home is to spend it on prostitutes and beer, since these are the only products still produced in US. I’ve been doing my part.”
Hahaha!
Oh, wait. Doctor Doom might not have been joking about the whores and ale. Not only is his left eye considerably more guarded than the right, look at those unequal determination lines between the eyebrow. Even his nose is unequal. When you have a face that is lopsided and not because of damage, it’s because there are two faces on the same skull. One trick to analyzing a face like this is mirroring. I began with this, the most front-facing pic I found:
And then I copied one side of his face, flipped it and overwrote the other side of his face. My apologies for this being poor quality; Doom is not actually a fathead with respect to the outside world.
His personal life has more determination lines, thinner nostrils (less social energy), eyes practically buried behind squinty defenses and a lower corner to his mouth. His legendary pessimism comes from his personal life, not his professional life. Had his external outlook been pessimistic, he would likely not have wanted to become a talking head.
In closing, a couple awesome quotes via Fortune Magazine:

When Faber was asked about his opinions on the abilities of African Americans and their capacity to “deliver economic progress,. he simply replied, .May I suggest you travel extensively through Africa and you will find . hopefully the answer..
When asked for comment on the Post report and the backlash over his comments, Faber told Fortune that, .If this is the only sin I committed in my life I would feel like a saint..
Bezos had that eye thing too I noticed…although I think it’s flipped in his case.
I took a photo a while back and noticed I also had one eye more guarded than the other. It was the right one that was guarded though.
That means you have more control/dominance/peace in your personal life than your external life, which is normal because a person should have more control over his home than,for example, the workplace.
My guardedness is on the right side but occasionally sloshes over to the left when I talk. Weird.
Bezos being significantly more guarded means he’s taken some major torpedo hits during his worklife. I would expect he’d have thin, vertical lines on his lips; those are called survivor lines but it’s hard to read such lines in Internet pics. But the upturned mouth corner suggests he’s also optimistic towards his work… a soldier who enjoys the fight.
Whoa, even his jawline differs between sides. A decent guy to know casually but a scheming backstabber who lives for the shiv when he puts on the power suit. Hmm, no vertical lines on the lips after all. Guess he hasn’t been brought that low yet.
LOL…I take that back. After looking at the photo again it’s my left one that is guarded. Has more of the droopy eyelid.
That’s also the side which has the larger ear than the other. Don’t know what that all means other than I probably have two faces in my skull too.
I remember Weinstein also had the eye thing too although I read he did injure one of them when he was young.
More upper eyelid? That would be the less guarded, generally.
BTW, Zimbabwe used to be called Rhodesia. It was the “breadbasket of Africa” when the British PAID (that is right paid, as in “Rent”) to the local Africans to farm land and share profits. The Africans got paid for nothing, renting out land to farmers that was not being used, basically.
Then Soviets, UN, and radical Commies came into Rhodesia, started up civil unrest, and forced white farmers out.
RoK did a feature special on Rhodesia and the “Bush War” the farmers fought. They were either killed or deported from their homes/land in total poverty.
http://www.returnofkings.com/166574/the-great-betrayal-of-rhodesia
The result? Now Zimbabwe is a raging s#ithole of epic proportions. Mass poverty, sporadic famines, and inflation that makes Venezuela look stable!
(We saw this stir up trouble when none exists strategy during the “Arab Spring”, the left used same tactics to stir up chaos).
South Africa is now is going the way of Rhodesia. (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5443599/White-South-African-farmers-removed-land.html ) Gonna become a raging s#ithole country too, joining “Socialist successes” of Cuba, Soviet Union, North Korea, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Brazil (over last 16 years), and countless others.
Idiots never learn. Socialism = hell. Anyone who supports socialism is a useful idiot, unless you are at the very top.
Ps. Can we start calling idiots “idiots” again or do we have to use their official title, like Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez? ..
I couldn’t help it when talking Socialism. ..
