How else do you explain this epic act of national self-destruction?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The \u201cJoe Biden\u201d regime is \u201cstanding up for our democracy\u201d by trying to silence all and any public speech about what it does in the world and how it treats its own citizens.<\/strong>\u00a0Meanwhile, the entire scaffold of American life crumbles and you are supposed to not notice it\u2019s happening. The funny part is that the Democratic Party thinks this is an election strategy. The funniest part of the funny part is that we bother holding elections at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You understand, \u201cJoe Biden\u201d is only pretending to run for president again, in the same way that he\u2019s only pretended&nbsp;<em>to be<\/em>&nbsp;president the past two years. Are we to believe, for instance, that the old zombie has become a fervent Maoist? Or that he follows any known structured political philosophy at all, other than cashing checks from favor-seekers from all &nbsp;over the world?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJoe Biden\u201d is pretending to run \u2014 no matter how preposterous it seems \u2014 because his handlers know that only a titanic pretense of political strength can stave off the reveal of his family\u2019s awesome criminality and the fall of everyone hitched to that broke-down wagon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So much for the funny stuff.&nbsp;<\/strong>Things are getting to the point where we stop laughing. It\u2019s only a question now of how the calamity rolls out. There are so many more parts to our national fiasco and they are all out-of-hand in the most disastrous way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-ukraine-fiasco\">The Ukraine Fiasco<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ukraine project is a big part. It was prodigiously stupid to provoke a war at Russia\u2019s door-step and the side we backed, the corrupt Zelensky regime, has already lost. You just don\u2019t know it because the American news business is a joke on the American public. It reports nothing honestly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ukraine is the last in a string of hapless military adventures that has exhausted America\u2019s credibility in the world, especially as regards our military superiority. (Think: Russia\u2019s Kinzhal hypersonic missile.) There will be many unexpected consequences of the Ukraine screw-up. One will be the crack-up of NATO, which has only been a false front for American military power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Germany couldn\u2019t fight its way out of a duffle bag with what it\u2019s got, and it is supposedly Europe\u2019s leading economic power. The sad truth is that it will stop being any kind of power without the cheap Russian natural gas it was running on, and later this year Germany will be in a panic to try and restore its horribly damaged trade relations with Russia to get that natgas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since NATO\u2019s essential mission is to oppose Russia on everything, that will be the end of NATO. Europe will return to what it has always been: a region of squabbling national interests. Let\u2019s hope Europe does not become again the slaughterhouse it was in the last century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"you-go-broke-in-two-ways\">You Go Broke in Two Ways<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The failure of the Ukraine project could easily stimulate a collapse in Europe\u2019s banking system, which would instantly spread to America\u2019s banking system as obligations dissolve and payments stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The net effect of all that will be the vanishing of a whole lot of capital, including the money in bank accounts, the money invested in stocks and bonds, the money lodged in pension plans, and the money controlled by insurance companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I\u2019ve mentioned before \u2014 it\u2019s worth repeating \u2014 you can go broke two ways: you can have no money, or you can have money that\u2019s worthless. We\u2019ve been steadily following the latter path through the \u201cJoe Biden\u201d years, but we\u2019re close to simply not having money at all. Being broke will get Americans\u2019 attention. And the first place they\u2019ll look is the party in power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple scandals have finally caught up to \u201cJoe Biden\u201d and are escaping the formidable suppression apparatus erected by the Deep State\u2019s legal department. Attorney General Merrick Garland himself is now directly implicated in obstruction of justice by an IRS whistleblower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"election-interference\">Election Interference?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The allegation is that Mr. Garland interfered in the case against Hunter Biden in the Delaware US attorney\u2019s office and lied about it to Congress. On top of that comes a new allegation, with hard documentary evidence (testimony by former Acting CIA Director Mike Morell), that Secretary of State Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan arranged, as \u201cBiden\u201d campaign officials in 2020, for fifty-one intel officers, including five retired CIA directors, to sign a phony letter denouncing the Hunter laptop as a Russian disinfo project, knowing it to be untrue. A case can be made for that amounting to election interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All that is fairly fresh news. For many months, it\u2019s been known that Rep. James Comer (R-KY), Chair of the House Oversight Committee, has possession of bank records that show more than a hundred instances of the decanting of millions of dollars from foreign lands into various Biden family accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doesn\u2019t look good. Looks impeachable. Will DOJ try to stonewall everything? Yeah, probably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"a-civil-war-strategy\">A Civil War Strategy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of all that, observers are reporting that more than ten thousand illegal immigrants a day will be crossing into the USA from Mexico in the weeks ahead. Alejandro Mayorkas\u2019s Dept. of Homeland Security and Mr. Blinken\u2019s State Department have made arrangements with international NGOs working through the UN, to systematically conduct these immigrants across the border, furnishing them with pre-cooked phony asylum documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week, Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) introduced legislation to allow unrestricted immigration to any person claiming to be LBGTQ. Co-sponsors of the bill include Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders. How is any of this a re-election strategy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>It\u2019s not. If these matters are not adjudicated, it will be a civil war strategy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Original Link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.truth11.com\/we-have-met-the-enemy\/\">https:\/\/www.truth11.com\/we-have-met-the-enemy\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ZeroHedge.com | Tyler Durden James Howard Kunstler | DailyReckoning.com \u201cWhen we see the few truth-tellers who are the stars of their organizations jettisoned \u2013 Tucker Carlson from Fox News, Matt Taibbi from Rolling Stone, Glenn Greenwald from The Intercept, James O\u2019Keefe from Project Veritas\u2026 we must face the fact that there is an organized conspiracy to suppress truth.\u201d &#8211; Paul Craig Roberts The weird part the news media isn\u2019t telling you about World War Three is that America\u2019s main enemy [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":86,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-propaganda"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/86"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3194"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3194\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3196,"href":"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3194\/revisions\/3196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nakedpolitics.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
