Meet the Government Junta of National Destruction Now proceeding with the demolition of the United States of America.
Mon Aug 2, 2021 “Our democracy,” is the official government term for conditions following the 2020 election. Angelo Codevilla argues that it’s not a democracy but an oligarchy . Since that means rule by a group, “junta” would also appropriate, and historical examples are instructive.
Portugal had its junta de salvação nacional in the 1970s, and after the toppling of Allende in a coup, the Junta Militar de Gobierno ruled that nation. After the fall of Somoza, Nicaragua fell under the Junta de Gobierno de Reconstrucción Nacional , the Junta of National Reconstruction. In the United States, what Democrats call “our democracy” is effectively the Government Junta of National Destruction (GJND) of the nation as it has been known to exist, with emphasis on the period from 2016-2020.
Joe Biden is the Junta’s figurehead, more properly the bobblehead. As Mark Bowden noted in 2010, Biden is a plagiarist and underachiever but “not an intellectual .” Party bosses confined the gaffe machine to a basement during the campaign, tipping off the ensuing election fraud, as it were, with a flare gun.
As head of the Junta, Biden does what he’s told. Trump achievements such as energy independence, a thriving economy, full employment, peace in the Middle East, a border wall and so forth must be stopped, whatever their benefits for the American people. The Junta represents the government, and Nancy Pelosi is the Junta’s La Pasionaria
Pelosi, 81, is a big fan of Communist and Soviet agent Harry Bridges , to the point that in 2001 she marked the centenary of his birth in the Congressional Register . Pelosi believes the proper role of government, even during a pandemic, is to fund abortion . So she has no basis for objection to the taking of adult lives if the Junta deems them unwanted. Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley makes it a military junta.
Back in 2013, Gen. Milley predicted that conditions were set for victory in Afghanistan. They weren’t and the Princeton political science grad now finds the home front a target-rich environment. As the general contends, Donald Trump was like Hitler and his supporters are Nazis , something one would expect from Derek Lutz, (Robert Downey Jr.) in Back to School , babbling about football as a “crypto fascist metaphor.” Like Gen. Jack Ripper in Dr. Strangelove , Milley is straight out of central casting, but the key figure in the Junta is Dr. Anthony Fauci.
Biden’s chief medical advisor contends that to criticize him is to attack science itself , in effect, “La science c’est moi ,” in the style of Louis XIV. Fauci earned a medical degree in 1966 and in 1968 took a cushy “yellow beret” job with the National Institutes of Health to avoid treating American soldiers in U.S. military hospitals. Fauci’s bio shows no advanced degrees in molecular biology or biochemistry.
Back in the 1990s, Kary Mullis, PhD in biochemistry from UC Berkeley and winner of the Nobel prize for the polymerase chain reaction, contended that Fauci “doesn’t understand electron microscopy and he doesn’t understand medicine . He should not be in a position like he’s in.” Fauci was wrong about AIDS but remained as the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID).
More recently, Fauci funded the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) for dangerous gain-of-function research with a cargo of deadly viruses the WIV received from a lab in Canada . If Communist China and the World Health Organization every did anything with which Fauci disagreed, it’s hard to know what it might be. In January of 2020, Fauci opposed President Trump’s ban on travel from China , with no explanation of the “science” or how opposing the ban promoted public health.
This certified megalomaniac, a physician who first does harm, is the Junta’s Lysenko figure. Dr. Fauci is responsible for shutting down the nation, wrecking a thriving economy, causing untold misery, and menacing the people’s constitutional rights. A serial prevaricator who never once had to face the voters, Dr. Fauci is the embodiment of white coat supremacy (WCS), an ideal ethos for the Junta of National Destruction that calls itself “our democracy.”
Juntas in Portugal, Argentina and Chile have given way to a vote of the people but with the aging GJND the American people have to wonder. The Junta appears to have its own Brezhnev doctrine , a claim of permanent one-party power, upheld by an imported electorate, institutionalized voter fraud, and intimidation from the Junta’s BLM-Antifa axis. On the other hand, the Junta’s draconian rule is not proving popular, and democratic institutions remain in place.
The midterms are just around the corner but the race to watch is the September 14 recall for scandal-ridden California governor Gavin Newsom, the Jerry Brown protégé and former Nancy Pelosi nephew Democrats have been grooming for president. In January, California Democrat Party boss Rusty Hicks proclaimed, “this recall effort, which really ought to be called ‘the California coup,’ is being led by right-wing conspiracy theorists, white nationalists, anti-vaxxers and groups who encourage violence on our democratic institutions.”
As Ben Christopher of CalMatters explained, “a recall campaign is a democratic mechanism written into the California constitution that allows voters to remove an elected official by popular vote.” Democrat secretary of state Shirley Weber tried to keep black conservative Larry Elder off the ballot, but Elder sued and won .California Globe reports , “New Poll Finds Larry Elder In Commanding Lead of Recall Candidates, Newsom Approval Slipping Once Again.” The Junta is all-in for Newsom, whose autocratic style and colossal incompetence would be a good fit. As Trump likes to say, we’ll have to see what happens.
HOW THE BANKSTERS’ RENT BOY JOE BIDEN HELPED STRIP BANKRUPTCY PROTECTION FROM MILLIONS JUST BEFORE THE RECESSION THE BIG BANKSTERS CAUSED
Biden and Elizabeth Warren have been fighting each other since the 2005 bankruptcy bill.
BY LUKE DARB Y
During the most recent Democratic presidential primary debate, Joe Biden and Elizabeth Warren had an awkward and tense exchange over the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The friction between the two of them goes back quite a ways, long before Biden was vice president and Warren became a senator in Massachusetts. The two first butted heads over Biden's support of bankruptcy reform in the late 1990s and early 2000s, back when he represented Delaware in the Senate.
The key detail is the difference between the two kinds of bankruptcy a person can declare: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Chapter 7 is known as liquidation bankruptcy and is meant for people with limited income. It allows them sell off what assets they can to pay creditors and then discharge most of the rest of their debts relatively quickly. In contrast, Chapter 13, reorganizing bankruptcy, puts the debtor on a payment plan, so a portion their future income is guaranteed to go to paying back their creditors. If you're a creditor, this is the option you would rather someone take when they owe you money, since you're going to get more out of them over the long run.
The 2005 Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) was meant, on paper, to prevent people from abusing Chapter 7 bankruptcy. It accomplished that through means testing, making it harder for people to declare Chapter 7 bankruptcy versus Chapter 13. If a person's income exceeds a certain threshold, they're ineligible for declaring Chapter 7. The bill also required people to complete a credit counseling course no more than 180 days before they declare bankruptcy. It also limits the kinds of debt a person can discharge through bankruptcy: If they use a credit card to spend too much money on "luxury goods" or withdraw too much in cash advances, that credit line can't be erased. And, gallingly, the bill made it completely impossible to discharge student loan debt. It may very well be the single piece of legislation most responsible for putting the U.S. in the current student debt crisis.
Biden was one of the bill's major Democratic champions, and he fought for its passage from his position on the Senate Judiciary Committee . He had pushed for two earlier bankruptcy reform bills in 2000 and 2001, both of which failed. But in 2005, BAPCPA made it through, successfully erecting all kinds of roadblocks for Americans struggling with debt, and doing so just before the financial crisis of 2008. Since BAPCPA passed, Chapter 13 filings went from representing just 24 percent of all bankruptcy filings per year to 39 percent in 2017. Melissa Jacoby, a University of North Carolina law professor specializing in bankruptcy, told Politico , "I doubt that the bill reined in the abuses that the bill was premised on, in part because they didn’t necessarily exist in the first place."
Unions, consumer protection groups, and the National Organization for Women all opposed the BAPCPA, but it had heavy support from the credit card industry. Delaware is essentially a domestic tax haven for corporations, and as a result financial institutions like credit card companies hold tremendous power in the state. As political writer Alexander Cockburn once wrote , "The first duty of any senator from Delaware is to do the bidding of the banks and large corporations which use the tiny state as a drop box and legal sanctuary. Biden has never failed his masters in this primary task. Find any bill that sticks it to the ordinary folk on behalf of the Money Power and you’ll likely detect Biden’s hand at work."

Biden at the time stressed that he wasn't acting on behalf of the credit card companies, and as Matt Ygelsias writes at Vox , Biden's camp claims now that BAPCPA was an effort to get some concessions out of a Republican bill that would have been a bigger disaster without his intervention. But to his critics, there were red flags. For example, one of the biggest credit card companies in Delaware, MBNA, hired Joe Biden's son Hunter in 1996. Even after Hunter became a federal lobbyist in 2001, he stayed on at MBNA as a consultant at a fee of $100,000 per year , meaning he was pulling in a six-figure salary at the same time his father was pushing for the industry's top priorities. Biden's interests were so aligned with MBNA's that in 1999 he was forced to defend himself by declaring , "I am not the senator from MBNA." But even without the shadows of impropriety, critics of Biden's support for bankruptcy reform had plenty of fodder.
One of Biden's biggest antagonists was none other than Elizabeth Warren. Back when she was a mere Harvard law professor specializing in bankruptcy law, Warren questioned the entire rationale of bankruptcy reform, telling The Washington Post in 1998, "Those who want to say the way to solve rising consumer bankruptcy is by changing the law are the same people who would have said during a malaria epidemic that the way to cut down on hospital admissions is to lock the door." In the 2003 book she co-wrote with her daughter, The Two-Income Trap , she took special aim at Biden's efforts to make it harder for Americans to declare bankruptcy and framed it as an issue that disproportionally effects women:
This year, more women will file bankruptcy papers than will receive college diplomas. More women with children will search for a bankruptcy lawyer than will seek subsidized day care. And in a statistic with special significance for Senator Biden, more women will be victimized by predatory lenders than will seek protection from an abusive husband or boyfriend... The point is simply that family economics should not be left to giant corporations and paid lobbyists, and senators like Joe Biden should not be allowed to sell out women in the morning and be heralded as their friend in the evening. Middle-class women need help, and right now no one is putting their economic interests first.
Two years after Warren wrote that, BAPCPA overwhelmingly passed with Biden's support—while bankruptcy reform had been dead on arrival just a few years earlier, 18 Senate Democrats chose to side with all 55 Republicans and the lone independent to vote in favor of the bill. Then president George W. Bush promptly signed it into law, and 14 years later BAPCPA is still making it more costly and cumbersome to declare bankruptcy. With the U.S. likely heading for another recession and credit card debt at a record $870 billion , millions more Americans could end up struggling with mountains of debt than they would otherwise had Biden not fought so hard to strip them of bankruptcy protection.
BIDEN WAS SELECTED BY BANKSTER-OWNED OBAMA BECAUSE OF HIS LONG HISTORY OF SERVING THE BANKSTERS! Biden backed brutal bankruptcy bill in 2005 By Chris Talgo
In 1999, then- Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) declared , “I’m not the senator from MBNA.” Apparently, Biden felt it was necessary to clarify that he did not exclusively represent credit card giant MBNA because his constituents were thoroughly confused, based on his track record of being a shill for credit card companies located in the First State.
Then, six years later, Biden inserted his foot directly into his mouth (again) when he championed the notorious (and ill-named) Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA). A more appropriate name could have been the Act to Protect Credit Card Companies and Shaft Students and Workers.
In short, BAPCPA was a terrible bill that favored credit card companies, big banks, and millionaires over working-class borrowers. It also is solely responsible for the fact that student loan debt is totally impossible to dismiss -- even after one has declared bankruptcy.
Wait a minute, I thought Joe Biden was the consummate defender and advocate of the working class and oppressed. Far from it. In reality, Biden’s political career of more than four decades was predicated upon protecting the interests of credit card companies.
And he and his son, Hunter, were compensated handsomely for doing so. According to a 2019 GQ article titled “How Biden Helped Strip Bankruptcy Protection From Millions Just Before a Recession” -- “one of the biggest credit card companies in Delaware, MBNA, hired Joe Biden's son Hunter in 1996. Even after Hunter became a federal lobbyist in 2001, he stayed on at MBNA as a consultant at a fee of $100,000 per year, meaning he was pulling in a six-figure salary at the same time his father was pushing for the industry's top priorities.” Can you say, quid pro quo, Joe?
As if the backroom deals and “you scratch my back, and I’ll scratch yours” shenanigans that Biden blatantly engaged in before, during, and after BAPCPA was passed were not bad enough, the bill wrought untold damage among the very people Biden constantly claims to protect.
According to Adam J. Levitin , professor of law at Georgetown University, BAPCPA “was perhaps the most anti-middle class piece of legislation in the past century.” And, as Levitin writes, “Biden used his clout to push for the law’s passage and to defeat amendments to shield servicemembers, women, and children from its harsh treatment. When votes were taken, ‘Middle-Class Joe’ was no friend to the middle class.” It sure seems that Biden abandoned his Lunchbox Joe persona when it came to voting in favor of BAPCPA, not to mention that he strongly supported amendments that made the bill even more hostile to the middle class!
And adding insult to injury, Biden also voted against several amendments that were specifically meant to help several “underprivileged” groups. As Levitin writes, “He voted against three amendments to ease bankruptcy requirements for consumers whose financial troubles stem from medical expenses. He voted against an amendment that would have helped seniors keep their homes . He voted against exempting servicemembers and widows of servicemembers killed in action from the law’s eligibility restrictions. He voted against an amendment to exempt women whose financial troubles stemmed from deadbeat husbands’ failure to pay child support or alimony . And Biden even voted against an amendment that would have ensured that children of debtors could still be given birthday and Christmas presents . Biden also voted against allowing debtors to pay their union dues during bankruptcy , potentially imperiling their employment and ability to achieve financial rehabilitation.” Could Biden’s voting record on this bill get any worse? Actually, yes.
Not only did Biden strongly oppose BAPCPA amendments aimed to help “disadvantaged” groups, he voted for two giant loopholes that effectively allowed millionaires to shield their assets from collectors after they filed for bankruptcy. What a joke, Joe.
As a senator, Biden vigorously voted for several similar bills. In short, based on his voting record, Joe Biden is not (and never was) a champion of disadvantaged Americans, unless you consider multi-billion-dollar credit card corporations and millionaires “disadvantaged.”
