Camden, New Jersey: Blueprint for the Destruction of America

The announcement by the Camden, NJ, city council that it is to halve its police and firefighters’ force — less than 100 years after becoming the first American city to have mechanized fire engines — illustrates perfectly the destructive path upon which our nation has embarked.

Camden was incorporated as a city on February 13, 1828, and was quickly developed as a manufacturing and industrial center.

Amongst the many achievements of this originally majority white city, were the establishment of one of the U.S.’s first railroads, the Camden and Amboy Railroad, which was chartered in Camden in 1830.

The Camden Fire Department was officially launched in 1869 and is the oldest paid fire department in the state of New Jersey and is among the oldest in the United States.

In 1916, the department was the first in the United States that had an all-motorized fire apparatus fleet.

From 1901 through 1929, Camden was headquarters of the Victor Talking Machine Company, later known as RCA Victor. Many of the world’s first ever commercial recording studios were located there.

From 1899 to 1967, Camden was the home of the New York Shipbuilding Corporation, which at its World War II peak was the largest and most productive shipyard in the world.

In 1962, the first commercial nuclear-powered ship, the NS Savannah, was launched in Camden.

At Camden’s peak, 10,000 workers were employed at RCA, while another 40,000 worked at New York Shipbuilding.

The population of Camden rose from a humble 3,371 in 1840 to 79,318 in 2008.

Yet today, Camden is little more than a shell of its former self. Industry has all but vanished, mainly because of the gutting of American industry due to the mania of “outsourcing to the Far East.”

White Americans have also fled the growing nonwhite population, transforming the city into a “Detroit on the East Coast.”

In 2007, only 6.84 percent of the city’s population was officially classified as non-Hispanic white.

Some 50.35 percent of the city was classified black, 2.45 percent Asian, 0.54 percent Native American, 0.07 percent Pacific Islander, 22.83 percent from “other races” while 3.9 percent were from “two or more races.”

Some 42.82 percent of the population are Hispanic or Latino of any race, the majority of which are Puerto Ricans.

According to 2006 data from the United States Census Bureau, 52 percent of the city’s residents live in poverty, the highest rate in the nation.

Camden is also officially America’s poorest city, with a median household income of $18,007 — this, from its once prized status as one of the leading industrial centers.

No less than three Camden mayors, all nonwhites, have been jailed for corruption.

The nonwhite school system and police department were reduced to a Third World shambles and had to be taken over by the state of New Jersey in 2005.

In 2009, Camden had the highest crime rate in the U.S. with 2,333 violent crimes per 100,000 people, compared to the national average of 455 per 100,000.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation ranked Camden as the nation’s most dangerous city in 2004, 2005, and 2009.

The story of Camden represents precisely what has gone wrong in America, in the space of one century. It has been transformed from a prosperous, thriving, and leading edge industrial giant into a Third World slum.

Industry has been sacrificed in the name of “cheaper” (and inferior) Chinese goods, and whites have fled the nonwhite-induced chaos and destruction.

Camden has, within 100 years, gone from a city which had the first mechanized fire engines, to one which now cannot afford to keep a full complement of firefighters.

It is the tale of the Third World destruction of America.

It is a tale which will be repeated up and down this country, unless white Americans act now to stop it.
