When Globalism Falls, American Liberty Will Rise
Dynamic change is unsettling. We humans grasp at the status quo and squeeze. Alas, the globalist cartel wants to "fundamentally transform" the world, and whether we like it or not, we are along for the ride. Many Westerners are only now waking up to the reality that a ridiculously small group of influential "elites" have been pushing us down this path for quite some time. Future history books will highlight (when factual history returns to education) how WWII served as the inflection point for unleashing a torrent of international institutions and norms (disguised as mechanisms for "maintaining the peace") that have succeeded in concentrating wealth and power in a small number of people intent on ruling over everyone else.
Their centralized control over monetary currencies has made them fabulously rich and left everyone else in debt. Property, income, purchases, inheritances — everything you "own" through the fruits of your labor is taxed and laundered by corrupt legislatures back into the pockets of the same currency-manipulators who print money and buy off politicians for a living. You are taxed for simply holding a dollar in your hand because every day, that dollar loses value through intentionally constructed inflation used to prop up stock market "growth" while destroying middle-class savings. The World Economic Forum wants Westerners to "own nothing," and by golly, through taxation and inflation alone, it's halfway there.
The globalist cartel lies about everything. The same players who bemoan "income inequality" have used the post-WWII order to steal at least half the value of every person's lifetime of labor. (American colonists rebelled over a tax rate of 1%!) The same "woke" corporations that rail against the "structural racism" of Western "colonialism" have been conquering the world, exploiting poor nations for cheap manufacturing, and sucking up the savings of wealthier nations through the new-age religion of rampant consumerism. Globalism is colonialism, but public relations firms have spent decades hiding that obvious truth.
The globalist cartel does not care about "trans rights" or "fighting hate" or "climate change." It cares about keeping society distracted with silly mass movements, idol-worship, and unscientific doomsday fantasies while it pursues its own interests and hidden agendas. New World Order "elites" couldn't be happier that they have whipped up so many mindless "serfs" into such a frenzy that the peasants senselessly demand that their own speech be regulated, religion outlawed, and energy use rationed. When the squabbling members of society fight among themselves, government power grows to control the chaos. When only the globalist cartel is allowed free speech, and only the rich and powerful can afford fuel, then only the globalist religion can be heard and spread.
Trust Your Local Conspiracy Theorists
Chasing that elusive one-world-government perpetual motion machine, "elites" always delude themselves into believing they are destined to "rule." They fail to imagine that there are smarter people who have never sought great wealth or power. So committed to their Darwinian belief that "natural selection" proves their own superiority, they have become certain that a future technocratic totalitarian state (with them at the top) is inevitable. And just as with every attempt to rule the world before it, pride comes before the fall.
The same technologies used to control us today will liberate us tomorrow. Whereas centralized digital currencies seek to steal our labor and trap our wealth, decentralized currencies beyond the reach of central bank manipulation will open markets to real free trade. Whereas the national security surveillance state monitors our communications, decentralized protocols will again secure our privacy. Whereas Big Tech and Big Media have maliciously partnered with Big Government to control the dissemination of information and news, the same workarounds above will eventually break corporate control for good. Necessity is still the mother of all invention, and when people smarter than the global cartel decide that fighting back is necessary, globalists' monopoly on control will fade.
At the end of the day, it comes down to trust. Nobody is buying what the globalist cartel is selling. Their lies and manipulations have become too obvious for too many. People now realize that truth lies only outside the system.
Ask yourself, who has been more accurate about the major news stories of the last few years — the government-controlled news cabal pushing the "narrative" or your local conspiracy theorist expressing doubts? Did Obama's FBI not spy on Donald Trump's campaign? Did Hillary not invent the Russia collusion hoax? Did mandatory lockdowns for the Chinese Flu not crater the economy, bankrupt businesses, and cause excess deaths? Did closing tens of thousands of schools not harm children? Did using people as guinea pigs to test experimental "vaccines" not result in unnecessary medical injuries? Did recklessly printing money not lead to predictable inflation? Did the globalist cartel's push for Green New Deal controls over every individual's consumption of energy not jack up fuel costs and the price of food? Did U.S. politicians not use a "health crisis" to foist uncontrolled and unsecured mail-in ballots on the 2020 election? Was that election not fraught with predictable fraud? Has fighting Russia in Ukraine not weakened America's national security by destabilizing global food and fuel production? Has that conflict not strengthened Russia and China at America's and Europe's expense? Are we not closer today than before the "rules-based international order" imposed unilateral sanctions on Russia to losing the benefits of the world's use of the dollar as its reserve currency?
According to my math, local conspiracy theorists have been correct every single time. The global cartel's news propagandists, on the other hand, have not told the truth once. When institutional legitimacy comes crashing down, dreams of one-world government come crashing down, too.
Government's Illusion of Choice
I believe in the benefits of creative destruction. I believe, as Thomas Jefferson once observed, "that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical." I believe that Westerners are waking up to the reality that the game has been rigged against them for quite some time and that among the many things stolen from them has been their liberty.
Is it not strange that in America, neither of the two major political parties can be described as standing for the type of liberty from tyranny for which Jefferson and his compatriots fought? Whatever Establishment Democrats and Republicans believe, it is not a healthy appreciation for the Bill of Rights, expansive individual freedom, or limited government. It is as if Americans have been forced to choose between two parties, neither of which aptly represents their principles or priorities, is it not?
To me, conservatism makes sense only when it is a means to the end of protecting human liberty. Otherwise, it can do just as much bad as good. To conserve for the sake of conserving without worrying about what we're conserving is like operating on a patient without worrying about whether you're performing the correct surgery on the correct patient for the correct ailment. It is the life of liberty that matters; the operating room, the prestige of the doctor's education, and the esteemed traditions of the hospital matter not a lick if liberty dies on the table.
Conservatism is most effective when it is thought of as a procedure, not a philosophy. Chesterton's fence is an excellent rule of thumb by which to live, but it shouldn't so overwhelm one's worldview that a person becomes incapable of bulldozing down an occasional fence. Human liberty is what we seek to conserve, not the act of conservation in and of itself.
Or rather: It is better not to "conserve" globalism's monstrosities and better still to rebuild courageously a free America ourselves.

The rise and fall of the American empire
Empires usually collapse from internal forces which are sometimes exacerbated by international events. When the great British historian Arnold Toynbee cataloged the rise and fall of civilizations in his monumental multi-volume A Study of History, he studied how different civilizations responded to internal and external challenges. The key to understanding why some civilizations grew and prospered and others declined and died was "challenge and response." The rise and fall of empires — including the American empire — are subject to similar analyses.
America rose to imperial power by effectively responding to internal and external challenges. At its birth, the American republic first defeated Great Britain in a war, then overcame internal division by erecting a constitutional structure that imperfectly combined unity and division. It then responded well to another challenge from Britain in the War of 1812 and launched its effort to occupy and politically appropriate a continent, known as "Manifest Destiny."
The American empire overcame perhaps its greatest challenge during the Civil War, a sectional conflict that threatened to undo America's imperial project. After Lincoln and Grant saved the Union, Manifest Destiny continued unabated with the spectacular advances of the Industrial Revolution until the American empire stretched "from sea to shining sea."
But at the end of the 19th century, America, in Alfred Thayer Mahan's words, looked outward, gaining overseas colonies as a result of the Spanish-American War and the annexation of Hawaii. By the end of Theodore Roosevelt's presidency, America was both an Atlantic and a Pacific power, and Roosevelt gloried in showing America's global reach by sending the fleet around the world and beginning construction of the Panama Canal.
Europe's near suicidal war between 1914 and 1918, and the even greater catastrophic war between 1939 and 1945, set the stage for America's global pre-eminence, but that pre-eminence came with a price — a national security state of gargantuan proportions tied to what President Eisenhower called an avaricious, insatiable "military-industrial complex." As Randolph Bourne once said: "War is the health of the state."
The growth of state power in America, as elsewhere, was accompanied by a diminution in the individual freedom and liberty of its citizens. And it led to the growing power of a seemingly self-perpetuating, elite ruling class whose first priority has been to maintain and expand its power and privileges. It was that elite ruling class that Donald Trump called "the swamp," and that the late, great Angelo Codevilla wrote about in his books The Ruling Class and America's Rise and Fall among Nations.
It is that elite ruling class that captured control of our nation's cultural, media, and educational institutions and let loose internal forces — as if from Pandora's box — that are corrupting and weakening America, and that if left unchecked will leave us vulnerable to, if not defenseless against, external challenges. And today, the greatest external challenge is from the Chinese Communist Party, which seeks to replace America as the world's leading economic and military power.
Today, many American elites think of themselves as "citizens of the world" and pursue a globalist agenda that supersedes the parochial concerns of Americans. Those elites look to Davos and the World Economic Forum for economic guidance; to the World Health Organization (WHO) for medical policies; to the United Nations for international norms related to environmental, immigration. energy, climate, and maritime policies; to the International Court of Justice at the Hague for legal norms; and to a variety of multinational forums to determine "world opinion."
America's elites have made "nationalism" a dirty word, equating it with racism, fascism, and right-wing fanaticism. And they have attempted to ban Christianity from the public square in the United States as part of a broader effort to undermine civic virtue among the citizenry by normalizing practices previously considered deviant (what Daniel Patrick Moynihan labeled "defining deviancy down") and promoting a "woke" agenda (e.g., Critical Race Theory, the sexualization of young children) that undermines traditional beliefs and customs.
In The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, Edward Gibbon ruminated on the "latent causes of decay and corruption" in Rome. He noted the introduction by the ruling elites of "a slow and secret poison into the vitals of the empire." "The minds of men were gradually reduced," he wrote, and "the fire of genius was extinguished, and even the military spirit evaporated." The corrosive effects on the citizenry manifested themselves in the collapse of "public courage" and the diminished "love of independence" and "sense of national honor." "A cloud of critics, of compilers, of commentators," Gibbon lamented, "darkened the face of learning, and the decline of genius was soon followed by the corruption of taste." A "degeneracy" set in among the Roman elites and spread to the citizens, which "debased their sentiments, enervated their courage, and depressed their talents." The result, Gibbon wrote, was that Rome was "peopled by a race of pygmies" when the barbarians from the north swept in to conquer.
America's elite class is leading us down the path of Rome. Hopefully, it's not too late to change course.

Report: Joe Biden’s Globalists Suggest Cutting U.S. Tariffs on China to Score Political Points
The globalist wing of President Joe Biden’s White House is reportedly suggesting that the administration cut United States tariffs on China solely to score political messaging points with voters, regardless of whether a move would reduce inflation.
For months, Biden has been considering cutting U.S. tariffs on billions of dollars worth of China-made products that were first imposed by former President Trump and have been applauded by American union workers and domestic manufacturers.
According to Politico, discussions inside the Biden White House are “ratcheting up” as the administration grapples with soaring inflation, even though research has extensively shown there is no correlation between U.S. tariffs on China and current inflation.
Still, the globalist wing of the Biden White House, represented by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, is continuing to push the president to cut U.S. tariffs on China. Raimondo, Politico reports, has even gone as far as to suggest that China tariffs get cut solely to score political messaging points.
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, meanwhile, has focused her arguments on messaging — that its good politics to cut tariffs even if the actual impact on inflation is not that large. [Emphasis added]
Yellen, meanwhile, has continued citing a study that claims cutting U.S. tariffs on China could save nearly every American household about $800 every year. The study, though, was blasted by U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) Katherine Tai — a fixture of the economic nationalist wing of the Biden administration.
“The issue is that if you look at their methodology, and you look at how they think that, you know, inflation can be addressed through using trade tools, they are assuming a world, and U.S. economy, that has zero tariffs,” Tai said of the study that Yellen keeps citing as evidence to cut U.S. tariffs on China.
“So here’s the thing: For as long as we have been regulating commerce, we’ve had tariffs in some form, right? Every country still has tariffs,” Tai continued. “We haven’t always had inflation. And so I really have to challenge the premise of that study. And I think it’s either something between fiction or an interesting academic exercise.”
In the New York Times, Kim Glas with the National Council of Textile Organizations noted that there has been no evidence that tariffs have raised prices on American consumers, as is often claimed by free trade advocates and economic globalists.
Last week, the United Steelworkers (USW) wrote to Biden, pleading with him not to cut U.S. tariffs on China:
Too many U.S. companies have failed to take needed actions to address the threat posed by Chinese Communist Party policies. Many continue to outsource production, and research and development, undermining U.S. competitiveness and national security interests. They have failed to respond to the signals clearly and continuously sent by the CCP that it is not interested in competing, but in winning and dominating key industries. Our government must act in the national interest to strengthen our economy for the future. [Emphasis added]
From 2001 to 2018, U.S. free trade with China eliminated 3.7 million American jobs from the economy — 2.8 million of which were lost in American manufacturing. During that same period, at least 50,000 American manufacturing plants closed down.
Those massive job losses have coincided with a booming U.S.-China trade deficit. In 1985, before China entered the WTO, the U.S. trade deficit with China totaled $6 billion. In 2019, the U.S. trade deficit with China totaled more than $345 billion.
Meanwhile, a study from 2019 found that permanent U.S. tariffs of 25 percent on all Chinese imports would create more than a million American jobs in five years. American manufacturing is vital to the U.S. economy, as every manufacturing job supports an additional 7.4 American jobs in other industries.

Any Last Words?
Did Ashley Biden reveal her father, Joe, is a creep to the point pedophilia?
It’s no secret to anybody paying attention that Joe Biden has an unwholesome obsession with little children, especially little girls. He can’t seem to keep his eyes, his hands, or his nose off them. The Daily Mail has also released text from a diary kept by Ashley Biden, Joe’s drug-addicted, sex-addicted daughter, mentioning inappropriate showers with her father at a young age that may have led to her unhealthy sexual obsessions. Tucker Carlson, upon learning of this, launched an incendiary attack against Biden, the system that’s long protected him from closer scrutiny, and the DOJ and FBI harassing journalists for investigating the story.
Both of Biden’s living children—Hunter and Ashley—have substance abuse problems. What’s less well known is that they both suffer from sex addictions. Hunter has never admitted to this addiction but the contents of his hard drive make it patently clear that sex (and his own genitals) are obsessions with him. Moreover, because sex triggers the pleasure centers in the brain, it can be as much an addiction as drugs, alcohol, or tobacco.
As for Ashley, she has acknowledged having a sex addiction, at least in the diary she left behind in a halfway house. A Florida woman found the abandoned diary and tried to sell it, which was an unprincipled act but not an illegal one. Nevertheless, Joe sicced the FBI on the woman and on Project Veritas—even though Project Veritas tried to return the diary to Ashley Biden (and was refused because her representatives didn’t want to acknowledge that it was hers) as well as trying to give it to law enforcement (which is more than the New York Times would have done had it ever found something compromising about Trump’s children).
Image: Biden fondling a child. YouTube screen grab.
Now that the Daily Mail is starting to reveal the contents, it’s obvious why the diary is such a hot button for the Biden family:
The diary's explosive contents include Ashley's speculation that showering with her father, then-Senator Joe Biden, as a young girl may have contributed to her sex addiction.
'I remember having sex with friends @ a young age; showers w/ my dad (probably not appropriate),' she wrote in a January 2019 entry.
[snip]
The president's daughter wrote that she was 'hyper-sexualized [at] a young age', details her chronic drug abuse, affairs outside her marriage, how her finances were 'down to the wire' and how she made Joe cry with worry over her ahead of a Democratic primary debate.
Well! That’s not something you read about every day—a “president” whose daughter thinks hanging around naked in the shower with her daddy when she was a child might have caused her to become a sex addict.
It seems, too, that Joe Biden isn’t the only man in the family who is hanging around inappropriately with kids. In a series of text messages that Hunter Biden sent when Hallie Biden (his girlfriend and the widow of his dead brother) threw away the gun that he’d illegal obtained, we get an insight into her concerns about Biden’s second son:
Hunter lamented that Hallie, the widow of his brother Beau, had given the impression he's “an abusive pedophile with homicidal tendencies” and said that “that’s now in the hands of the FBI.” He said police and the bureau opened an investigation into him over the incident. The Secret Service also inserted itself into the saga, according to other texts from Hunter, although the agency has denied involvement.
Considering that the issue was about drugs and a gun, you have to wonder where that “pedophile” thing comes in. Oh, wait, I know! There was the other material on Hunter’s hard drive that indicated that he had a thing about underage girls.
To give context to Joe Biden’s weirdness around children, here’s a video that juxtaposes images of Joe Biden pawing and sniffing little children with a completely unrelated, but incredibly apropos, talk about how pedophiles groom children:
Tucker Carlson was very upset by the whole thing—that is, what Ashley Biden wrote in her diary and the fact that Joe Biden apparently instructed his DOJ (and the FBI) to attack people who hadn’t committed any federal crimes, merely because they had contact with Ashley’s pathetic musings. He courageously addressed the whole situation and strongly suggested that Joe resign, both for being a creep and for abusing his office:
Joe Biden’s occupancy of the Oval Office so vividly personifies what’s clearly America’s nadir. Not only is he presiding over failure (the economy), humiliation (Afghanistan), and surrender (the border), but he also embodies the sexual degradation that is spreading across America. Indeed, with his executive order that sets up the conditions for even younger “treatment” for allegedly “transgender” children, I wonder if he’s trying to push the Overton window (the parameters of normalcy) so that his bizarre behaviors with young children get normalized too. It’s all just so wrong.

White House Repeats Joe Biden Running for President in 2024 Despite Growing Concerns About Age
The White House repeated that President Joe Biden did plan on running for reelection in 2024, despite growing questions about his age and economic record.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre fired off a message on social media about the president’s political plans for the future.
“To be clear, as the President has said repeatedly, he plans to run in 2024,” she wrote on Monday evening.
Earlier Monday, Jean-Pierre tried to ward off questions about the president’s future political plans by alluding to the Hatch act.
“I cannot talk about elections, I cannot be a political analyst from here, or the midterms or anything like that including 2024,” she said during the White House press briefing when asked by a reporter about Biden’s political future.
Jean-Pierre noted that Biden had previously answered the question about whether he was running for reelection and that he had previously answered in the affirmative.
“I can’t say more than that,” she replied.
Biden and his allies repeatedly defend the president, arguing he is the only Democrat capable of beating former President Donald Trump in a rematch.
But the president’s lousy approval ratings and constant missteps have Democrats concerned about him leading the party into the next election.
If Biden runs again, he would be 86 by the end of his second term.
Reports in the New York Times over the weekend and in Axios on Monday speculated on the president’s age and cited growing concerns about Biden’s political future among Democrats.
In March 2021, Biden laughed off questions about running for reelection during a press conference.
“The answer is yes,” Biden said. “My plan is to run for reelection. That’s my expectation.”
In December 2021, Biden repeated himself in an interview with ABC News, citing “fate.”
“Look. I’m a great respecter of fate. Fate has intervened in my life many, many times. If I’m in the health I’m in now — I’m in good health — then in fact I would run again,” Biden said.
Biden said in March he would be lucky if Trump ran for president in 2024.
“I’d be very fortunate if I had that same man running against me,” Biden said during a press conference in Brussels, referring to Trump.
Biden also reportedly told Obama his plan is to run for reelection in 2024, according to reports in April
SOCIOPATH LYING PARASITE LAWYERS: THE CASE AGAINST BIDEN AND CLINTON.
JOE BIDEN: 50 YEARS OF WHITE COLLAR CRIME!
https://mexicanoccupation.blogspot.com/2022/04/the-long-dirty-trails-of-dirty-lives.html’
It was while Joe Biden was vice-president that the flood gates opened and what was a domestic influence-peddling business expanded globally into Ukraine, China, Russia and Kazakhstan, among other nations. The layers of greed and unabashed willingness to sell access to the second-highest office in the country is mind-boggling. The most egregious examples are five deals with the Communist Chinese and the subsequent payments to Hunter Biden and the Biden family valued at $31 million.
Joe Biden, the corrupt, unaccomplished 47-year career politician, with a reputation of having been a proud segregationist, an unabashed plagiarist and liar, a resolute tale-teller, and a serial flip-flopper, is pretending to head up a radical social-democratic ticket for President of the United States that includes as his running mate the ambitious, disagreeable junior senator from California: Kamala Harris.
The incredible expanding lies of Joe Biden
President Biden blamed congressional Republicans for record-high inflation while addressing the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) in a recent speech in Philadelphia. Biden pathetically argued that his economic agenda, which relies on massive government spending, would help tame inflation. He also lamely — and falsely — blamed Republican obstruction of that agenda for the country's current economic woes. (It seems Biden is an alumnus of the Hillary Clinton Institute for Excellence in Blame-Shifting and Denouncement.)
Biden boldly — if comically — stated, "Under my plan for the economy we made extraordinary progress and put America in a position to tackle a worldwide problem that's worse everywhere but here: inflation."
As if that wasn't a big enough lie, he added: "The problem is, Republicans in Congress are doing everything they can to stop my plans to bring down costs on ordinary families. That's why my plan is not finished, and the results aren't finished, either."
Now tell us the one about the three bears. (Okay, I've used that one before.)
Apparently, Biden is also a graduate of the prestigious William Jefferson Clinton School for the Advancement of Prevarication. First off, overspending is a primary cause of inflation, not a cure. Secondly, (relatively) moderate Democrat senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona also opposed the plan, effectively killing Biden's Build Back Better social-spending bill at this time -- taking Republican opposition into legislative relevance.
If Biden's "plan" is to fight inflation by dramatically increasing the already drunken-sailor rate of federal spending, he will make us all pine for the halcyon days of the Carter Era. That is akin to bloodletting for the sick. It would be like fighting obesity by ramping up your caloric intake or fighting STDs by engaging in more frequent anonymous sexual encounters. In a word, it is preposterous.
But then a great many things are in the Biden Era.

Biden is, and has always been, a pathological liar of the worst kind, the kind who lies to boost his own ego no matter how easy it is to prove his dishonesty. MONICA SHOWALTER
As the months of his administration slip by, it becomes clearer and clearer that he is something of a sociopath. Nick Arama agrees. He is congenitally unable to care. As for Americans still stranded in Afghanistan, he blamed them – for not getting to the airport, for being “dual citizens” as if that makes them less worthy of rescue.
PATRICIA McCARTHY
Biden’s defense of his actions was predictably sleazy. He wrote to the law school faculty asking that he not be expelled, claiming: “My intent was not to deceive anyone. For if it were, I would not have been so blatant.” He added: “If I had intended to cheat, would I have been so stupid?” Well, why, not ? ROBERT SPENCER
Biden even served up an early form of his “my word as a Biden” routine: “I value my word above all else. This is a fact which is known to all those who are or have been acquainted with my character.” Yes, he really wrote that. He even had the audacity to claim that as a law student who had already obtained an undergraduate degree, he “had misunderstood the rules of citation and footnoting."
ROBERT SPENCER
Most recently and dramatically, Biden lied about his knowledge of his son's shady dealings, lied about his own involvement in corruption and bribery, and lied about his current presidential agenda and what he wants to implement in regards to energy, fracking, court-packing, health care, education, and COVID among other issues.

Biden Lies Again, Claims He Was Golda Meir’s Liaison During the Six-Day War
Mendacious? In the grip of dementia? Or both?
Mon Dec 6, 2021
Old Joe Biden is a serial liar as well as an elderly man in the grip of dementia, and it was initially hard to tell which one was kicking in on Thursday when he claimed that he served as Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir’s liaison to Egypt during the Six-Day War in 1967. Golda Meir wasn’t prime minister of Israel during the Six-Day War, and Biden was an unknown law student at the time, but Biden did meet with her in 1973, so maybe he was just mixing up the two. Apparently this is a case of both Biden lying yet again about his life experiences and also forgetting where he was and when.
“I was saying to a couple younger members of my staff before I came over,” Old Joe began, “about the many times I’ve been to Israel. And I said – and then all of a sudden I realized, ‘God, you’re gettin’ old, Biden – I have known every prime minister well since Golda Meir, including Golda Meir. And during the Six-Day War, I had an opportunity to, uh — she invited me to come over because I was going to be the liaison between she and the Egyptians about the Suez, and so on and so forth.”
Biden is an accomplished panderer; he said this at White House Hanukkah menorah lighting celebration, apparently to show the crowd how pro-Israel he is, despite his administration’s consistently anti-Israel stance. But there is no way it could be true: Biden was 25 in 1967, and was attending Syracuse University College of Law, from which he graduated 76th in a class of 85 in 1968. By 1967, when he supposedly talking to the Egyptian government on behalf of Golda Meir, he had already embarked upon his career of lying. A Syracuse College of Law faculty report on December 1, 1965 stated that Biden “used five pages from a published law review article without quotation or attribution,” and recommended that he fail a legal methods course because of his plagiarism.
Biden’s defense of his actions was predictably sleazy. He wrote to the law school faculty asking that he not be expelled, claiming: “My intent was not to deceive anyone. For if it were, I would not have been so blatant.” He added: “If I had intended to cheat, would I have been so stupid?” Well, why not, Joe?
Biden even served up an early form of his “my word as a Biden” routine: “I value my word above all else. This is a fact which is known to all those who are or have been acquainted with my character.” Yes, he really wrote that. He even had the audacity to claim that as a law student who had already obtained an undergraduate degree, he “had misunderstood the rules of citation and footnoting.”
And now Joe would have us believe that Golda Meir surveyed the wide world and fastened upon one dishonest, plagiarist law student to serve as her mouthpiece in high-level negotiations with a hostile government during wartime. To be sure, Joe did meet with Meir in 1973, when he was just beginning his lengthy career of corruption and deception in the U.S. Senate. He had just come from Egypt, although whether he was actually serving as Meir’s official liaison is unclear. A classified Israeli memo about their meeting shows that he was practically as anti-Israel then as he is now, warning Meir against “creeping annexation” of territories it captured during the Six-Day War and demanding that Israel make concessions to the hostile powers surrounding it. According to Israeli columnist Nadav Eyal, Biden was “full of respect to the PM yet his ‘enthusiasm as he spoke’ signaled his lack of experience in the diplomatic field.” Sounds as if Old Joe hasn’t changed all that much.
It’s bad enough that the president of the United States is a frequent, habitual liar with a record of dishonesty that extends back 56 years. It’s even worse that the sycophantic media doesn’t take any notice of his lies, and continues to do all it can to prop up his disastrous administration and make it appear as if it isn’t the dumpster fire that everyone can see that it is. The corruption of the American body politic is coming from the top; an unprincipled old ward-heeler and political hack such as Biden should never have gotten anywhere near the White House. The fact that his arrival there was greeted with hosannahs and sighs of relief by the international political and media elites bespeaks an even wider corruption. And be prepared: Biden isn’t even close to being through lying.

Biden throws a tantrum
Our hapless president’s speech on Tuesday was not a speech at all. It was a full-blown childish tantrum. While he was ostensibly celebrating his massive “airlift” of thousands of mostly-Afghan refugees, from the beginning it was clear he is extremely angry. He almost shouted his claim that his catastrophic misadventure in Afghanistan has been a smashing success. This is a huge lie and everyone knows it, even those trying to spin this debacle as a win.
In fact, Biden’s surrender has probably set a genocide in motion just as our betrayal of the South Vietnamese gave birth to the killing fields. Women and girls are sure to be brutalized.
Biden had promised for days that no American would be left behind but of course hundreds, perhaps even thousands, have been left behind. Some even made it to the airport and were then denied flights home by US forces on the ground there. Thousands of those who escaped were rescued not by Biden’s forces but by retired vets and private organizations who set out to do what the government would not.
Biden is, and has always been, a pathological liar of the worst kind, the kind who lies to boost his own ego no matter how easy it is to prove his dishonesty. His seething, wretched defense of this massive failure will haunt this nation for decades to come. He has single-handedly created a fully-armed terrorist state, a state surrounded by enemies of the US – China, Iran and Pakistan. Those countries now have access to the $90b worth of American weapons, military vehicles and aircraft, not to mention Bagram Air Base.
Our NATO allies will no longer trust us. Biden will be forever known as the most destructive, the weakest and most gullible president in US history. A better man would resign but Biden is not even a decent man. As his mad rant on Tuesday proved, he will never take responsibility for his fatal errors in judgment.
Biden blamed President Trump, whose actual plan had stabilized the country and would have worked if implemented, and he blamed the Afghan army whom he betrayed by withdrawing their air support and their financial support. Of course, they fled. Biden betrayed them as cruelly as any leader in history has abandoned his troops and allies. He can claim his decision to withdraw as he did was successful from now to kingdom come, but it was the most egregious foreign policy error in American history.
The deaths of those thirteen young soldiers who died last Thursday is entirely his responsibility and yet he could not even bring himself to salute at their dignified transfer as their coffins passed by; he just kept checking his watch as if he had somewhere more important to be. The man is without heart and soul. The few parents who spoke with him were shocked that he only talked about his deceased son Beau. That’s his go-to default reply to anyone else’s loss; he makes it all about him.
As the months of his administration slip by, it becomes clearer and clearer that he is something of a sociopath. Nick Arama agrees. He is congenitally unable to care. As for Americans still stranded in Afghanistan, he blamed them – for not getting to the airport, for being “dual citizens” as if that makes them less worthy of rescue.
Of course, it is not just Biden that is to blame. Those military clowns, the ones who just weeks ago were telling us that Covid was the gravest threat we face (Austin) or that ‘white rage” is worth investigating (Milley) are to blame as well. Whoever was giving the orders on the ground in Kabul should also be fired.
Who thought it was a good idea to have those young soldiers do crowd control in a sea of panicked Afghans? Who decided those busloads of Americans had to be turned back in favor of unvetted refugees? Whose decision was it to let the highly trained military dogs who were brought safely to the airport be left behind, turned loose to face certain death on the streets of that benighted city?
Every leader who participated in this ill-timed, fateful attempt at withdrawal should resign or be fired. As many observers have noted, a high schooler could have managed it all better. But then maybe it was all by design, engineered by Biden’s paymaster, China. Biden has been bought and paid by a long list of influence purchasers for nearly all his years in Congress. “Selling out is usually more a matter of buying in. Sell out, and you’re really buying into someone else’s system of values, rules and rewards.” (Bill Watterson). Biden sold us out long ago.
Nancy Pelosi, a horrid woman equally as without heart and soul, on Tuesday refused to have the names of the thirteen soldiers killed in Kabul read out on the floor of the House. That should permanently indict her for being the wicked witch she is. She is more devious, more calculating than the irresponsible Biden but every bit as beyond redemption as he is. She will do anything to try to convince the American people, for whom she has only contempt, that whatever she and her party do is righteous no matter how loathsome and totalitarian.
Like the schoolyard thug he is, Biden will defend to the death the treacherous plan he put into motion so he could make a grand speech on the twentieth anniversary of 9/11. He ignored the advice of some advisers, wanted Ghani to lie about the Taliban’s success in July (transcript here), all to mount a bit of theater with him in the starring role. No matter what he says, things did not go as he envisioned so like a spoiled child, he threw a tantrum from the podium at the White House. Shame on him a thousand times.
In today's election, yours is a choice between freedom and globalism
I know something about both freedom and globalism. What I know is that you cannot have both, which is why I immigrated to America, the world's last stronghold of freedom.
In the way of background, I grew up in a prominent Muslim family in Egypt and became an imam at an early age. Like Christianity, Islam is a global religion. Unlike Christianity, Islam imposes an imperial global vision on true believers and denies them freedom of thought and movement.
Progressive globalism does much the same. Although Islam and progressivism would seem to have nothing in common, they do share one overriding goal: the need to crush traditional American Christianity, the one obstacle to world dominance in either case. At some point, Islam and progressivism will part ways, but for now, they are content to "coexist."
Progressive leaders turn a blind eye to the slaughter of Christians at a church in France or the shooting of a priest in another church or the beheading of a French teacher for daring to show a picture of Mohammed, the prophet of Islam. In countries like France, leftists have been responsible for as much church vandalism as Muslims, maybe more. For now, the left and Islam are allies. The result of the failed immigration policies and the rabid push of atheism by most European governments has made their combined mayhem possible.
The mayhem has been papered over with lies, which is why Joe Biden makes such a perfect front man for the global elites. Biden has lied about almost everything in his life. Where to begin?
Biden lied about his undergraduate degree and his majors, lied about his rank in law school, lied about scholarships and educational aid he had received, lied about his stance toward the Vietnam war while in college, lied about his plagiarism of other politician's writings and speeches, lied about the circumstances around his first wife's fatal accident, lied about how he met his second and current wife, and lied about the affair they were having when they were both married.
Joe Biden is the embodiment of the dark side of American politics.
When the Vietnam war ended, and our troops needed funding to evacuate gracefully, Joe Biden stood in the way. His obstruction led to Saigon's fall and the disgraceful flight of American troops and personnel off the American embassy's rooftop in Vietnam.
When President Ford pleaded with Congress to help the Vietnamese refugees, the ones who were aiding Americans during the war, Joe Biden stood in the way. Even though many of these refugees were orphan children, Joe Biden called them criminals and prostitutes on the Senate floor.
Most recently and dramatically, Biden lied about his knowledge of his son's shady dealings, lied about his own involvement in corruption and bribery, and lied about his current presidential agenda and what he wants to implement in regards to energy, fracking, court-packing, health care, education, and COVID among other issues.
Biden has lied about so much that I am not sure if he ever told the truth or is now even capable of doing so. Thanks to Big Tech's and Big Media's suppression of his record, he can present himself as a man of character and high morals. We must feel sorry for the multitude of gullible Americans who believe him.
Do not be a fool and believe for a second that the elites hate Trump because of his tweets or because he is allegedly a sexist, a rapist, a racist, or a foreign agent. Nor do they hate him because of the pandemic death toll.
In reality, the elites hate Trump because of "YOU," because you elected a man they did not nominate and could not control. I have never seen global anticipation for an American election like this one. The world is watching. The progressive and Islamic elites are pulling for Biden, but lovers of freedom all over the world are quietly cheering for Trump. If you have yet to vote, be sure to vote today and give them something to cheer about.

Biden's Deathly Presidency
For four years under President Trump, America enjoyed peace, security, and unparalleled prosperity. Trump's presidency was a historic era of good times in which we began to regain faith in the American Dream. Now we have the nightmare and the death and destruction that go with it.
Yes, the Trump Era was prosperous, with historically low unemployment rates, low inflation, energy independence, and rising wages. But aside from that, the most important thing about Trump's presidency was the fact that Americans were secure, as they had not been under Obama and certainly are not under Biden. Under Trump, America was in so many senses vibrant and "alive" with pride in our country and hope for its future.
Now we have regular mass shootings in which citizens disarmed by the State have no way to defend themselves. Overseas, we have a war in Ukraine, the threat of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan, and Iran developing nuclear weapons with the encouragement of the Biden administration. The common thread is death and the fear that goes with it. And this does not even include Biden's aggressive defense of abortion on demand.
Under President Trump, I lived without fear. I knew that Trump supported my right to defend my home and that he supported the police who defended me as well. Just having the president and his administration on my side made me breathe easier. America was moving in the right direction, as was confirmed by every opinion poll during Trump's time in office before COVID was unleashed.
Long-term death rates are more a matter of demographics than policy, and they have been rising ever since Obama took office in 2008. But murder rates, deaths in war and civil unrest, drug overdose deaths, and accidental deaths are attributable to policy, and they have been rising under Biden, even during his short time in office. Under Biden, the U.S. murder rate, which had been declining under President Trump, is the highest in 25 years. According to former N.Y. police commissioner Howard Safir, the spike in violence is partly attributable to a lack of support for police and soft-on-crime prosecutors. And it is Biden, with his anti-police rhetoric and refusal to prosecute (as in the case of those picketing Justice Kavanaugh's home), who is responsible for this climate of anarchy.
Now I plan my trips carefully, avoid eye contact with strangers, and carry only a driver's license and credit card. I drive inconspicuously as well, given the explosion of road rage incidents.
The most galling thing is that Biden never says a word about the victims of crime unless he can twist the incident into an anti-gun lecture, and he takes no action to protect anyone, especially law-abiding citizens in middle-class neighborhoods like my own. In this and so many other ways, he seems on the side of those who wish to destroy us. It's no accident that murder rates are spiraling at home and war is breaking out overseas. Both are a response to Biden's weakness, and death is the consequence.
I fear there will be more death ahead. I expect an invasion in Taiwan, Moldova, or Finland, and new outbreaks of violence in the Middle East involving either Iran or its surrogates. The incomprehensible Iran deal, which Biden is pushing, would "make Biden 'the biggest funder of terrorism in the world,'" according to Rep. Jim Banks. "Terrorism" is not just a derogatory word; it is the act of murdering innocent human beings, including women and children. Hasn't that fact entered into Biden's Iran deal calculations?
Biden's weakness has emboldened our enemies, and their actions pose a threat to our security. This is the way major wars begin. They can be prevented only by the projection of force of the kind we saw under President Trump, and Biden projects about as much force as a lady's fan. His weakness will get us into another war, and our young men and women will die in that war. There is death hanging over us, and Biden seems oblivious, fumbling with his note cards to find some kind of answer.
There is a new national mood in America unlike anything I've seen since the 1960s: a sense of foreboding and caution based on the very real threat of violence and collapse. There are more threats to our country, including the wealth destruction of inflation, to which Biden simply rolls his eyes, chuckles, and whispers some idiotic riposte. There are more criminal gangs, and Biden just welcomes more in. There is more road rage, more random shootings, and more felons out on no bond/low bond. And there is a callous and brutal disregard for the lives of the unborn.
In response to the mounting violence, Biden seems remote, fuddling with his microphone like a man slipping into dementia, and those around him seem inept, if not callous, including his new press secretary, Karine Jean-Pierre, who is said to have "frequently stumbled" during her first weeks. A president who is weak and advisers who are incompetent and anti-American to boot — that is a recipe for disaster, and disaster will end, as it always does, in poverty, destruction, and death.
There are bullies in the world who watched as Biden stumbled out of Afghanistan, and bullies don't have much respect for doddering fools who just want to survive a four-year term and leave a mess for someone else to clean up.
As a citizen, it is difficult to watch my country besieged by violence. Biden's presidency has been deadly in every respect: turning off economic growth and imposing environmental restrictions, proposing inflation-adjusted cuts in national defense while paying off student loans, and putting citizens at risk with his anti-police rhetoric.
There is little chance of a second Biden term, but just another two and a half years is painful to imagine. How many thousands will lose their lives because of one incompetent and wrong-headed leader? How far will America go into danger and destruction? And how much more difficult will it be for our next president, Trump or a Trump lookalike, to repair the damage and Make America Safe Again?
