Sick Of The "Grotesque Game Of Pretend" Being Played Around Joe Biden...

 by Jim Kunstler via Kunstler.com,

“Biden is not well. Everyone knows this even those who support him... the difference is they don’t care and that’s the most frightening aspect of this situation.”

- Edward Dowd

They’re kidding, right? That “Joe Biden” is capable of being president? Not just for another four-year term, but right here and now? This has got to be the most pitiful case of national gaslighting since 218-AD when the Romans installed 14-year-old Heliogabalus to front for their empire. Like “JB,” he reigned for four years (before the praetorian guard offed him). The Danish historian of ancient Rome, Barthold Niebuhr, said of him: “. . . [He] had nothing at all to make up for his vices, which are of such a kind that it is too disgusting even to allude to them.”

Lately, even the news media has begun to report “Joe Biden’s” senile mishaps. On Thursday at an outdoor photo op during the G7 meet-up in Italy, the ol’ dawg just wandered off from the assembled pack of world leaders until Italy’s PM Giorgia Meloni went and reeled him back in.

Earlier in the week at a Juneteenth party, they rolled him out on the White House lawn like a cigar-store Indian where he stood utterly frozen while all around him boogalooed and clapped to the music of jubilee.

Do you think that folks are starting to notice?  Even many mind-fucked Democrat Party regulars who have been just fine with the controlled demolition of our country under this human door-stop of a president are murmuring ominously that the scam has become too obvious. Not Rachel Maddow, though. America’s Woke lunatic-in-chief reigning on MSNBC warned this week that the return of Trump would lead to her (and millions of her fans) getting jammed into “concentration camps.”

Maybe you’ve already noticed that Rachel Maddow lives in a concentration camp of-the-mind located inside her own batshit-crazy skull. Dunno about you, but for the first time in a life lived through many decades of purportedly rational post-war Modernity, I’ve developed a sympathetic view of how come people in earlier eras resorted to burning witches. They are obdurate public nuisances. Their “magic” lately is the ability to provoke a mass formation psychosis, an actual “threat to our democracy” or, more precisely, to our republic. Maddow, the proudly out-front lesbian non-breeder is living proof that renouncing motherhood is a predictor of Cluster-B personality disorder — the condition that defines the “progressive” Wokery of these times.

I’m a little sorry to go all quasi-supernatural with you about this, but we are truly faced with the fact that the devastation in sexual relations and failures of family formation in recent decades has produced a very particular form of anomie in Western Civ’s female population — and the dynamic has badly deranged increasingly feminized men, too. Covid-19 was basically a Munchausen-by-proxy event, which ChatGPT describes accordingly:

. . . a psychological disorder wherein a caregiver, typically a parent, exaggerates, fabricates, or induces illness or injury in a person under their care, usually a child. The primary motive is to gain attention, sympathy, or praise from medical professionals and others, rather than any tangible benefit like financial gain.”

Actually, ChatGPT was wrong about the financial gain part. There were billions made off Covid by Big Pharma, including hundreds of millions in royalties doled out to public health employees. The government played the role of “mother” in the Covid caper, keeping you (her “children”) safe. You’ve noticed, I’m sure, that claims about safety and safe places have been major themes in Wokery both before and during Covid. Anyway, as usual with Munchausen-by-proxy syndrome, the “children” (i.e., the US population) were injured badly by the “treatment,” the mRNA vaccines. And also as usual with mothers displaying Cluster-B personality disorder, the “bad” children who refuted the narrative and refused the specified “treatment” were punished severely. (Cluster-B is sadistic.)

One thing this suggests is that the cabal running things behind the empty suit “Joe Biden” is dominated by women, and my guess would be the women directly associated with Barack Obama: Susan Rice, Lisa Monaco, Kathryn Ruemmler, Sally Yates, Valarie Jarrett, Samantha Power, Avril Haines, Torie Nuland, give-or-take some combo of them, et al. I have alleged for years that the motif driving batshit-crazy, Cluster-B Democratic Party women is that Donald Trump represents Daddy’s-in-the-house. In their boundaryless state-of-mind nothing threatens the Cluster-B ladies as much as the imposition of boundaries by a fearsome daddy figure. Daddy = the monster of monsters to them.

Thus, the “Biden” regime’s remorseless persecution of Mr. Trump — like the village rabble hunting down Frankenstein with torches and pitchforks — and the fantasies, were he allowed to live, about being sent to concentration camps by the likes of Rachel Maddow. There’s nothing like barbed-wire and sentry towers to vividly suggest the imposition of “boundaries” on your behavior.

I have strayed a bit from my initial theme concerning the grotesque game of “pretend” being played around “Joe Biden’s” re-election candidacy. Let’s say this: it is the terminal op being run by an out-of-control Deep State blob now losing its mojo in big gobs each day as its epic dishonesty gets exposed. This blob had some very potent tools at its command to jerk around the people of this land, especially the legacy news media. Most of that consisted of deception which is to say the tactical application of untruth. The op was tragically effective for some years, but its victims — US citizens — are onto the game now and they are angrily flipping over the game board. Mark this essential fact of life: truth is sturdy and lies are fragile. So, now you know what must, in the end, prevail.

“Joe Biden” is not long for this world as a token in that game. Mere days, I’d say. There is no way that the Democratic Party can afford to put him in a debate arena June 27th with Mr. Trump. Two minutes in, “JB” would be leaking sawdust and stuttering incoherently. The Party would be revealed as a fraud for the ages. And then, by the time you’re scarfing down blueberry pie on the Fourth of July, Hillary Clinton (better known here as Rodan the Flying Reptile, or She-Whose-Turn-It-Is) will be flapping her leathery wings on-high in triumph as “JB’s” emergency replacement. I am here to save our democracy, caw caw—! Wait for it! Trouble is, batshit crazy women are exactly what our country is sick of and done with.

Temu parent company led by top former Chinese Communist officials

The parent company of China-based online marketplace Temu employs a bevy of former Chinese Communist Party officials among their top executives — raising serious national security risks, experts told The Post.

Temu, a competitor to Amazon, has made aggressive inroads into the US.

Its parent company, the Shanghai-based Pinduoduo (PDD) is listed on the Nasdaq and has a current market capitalization of almost $200 billion.

Temu — which ran six ads during and after the Super Bowl this year — has growing clout in the United States, raising alarm among lawmakers in Washington, who worry its vast troves of U.S. consumer data could make it a national security threat.

In April Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) called on the Biden administration to investigate the company over concerns about intellectual property theft and the use of slave labor.

Cotton told The Post he wants the site banned in the United States.

“Chinese tech companies across the board are beholden to the Chinese Communist Party and PDD Holdings is no different. PDD’s subsidiary Temu, should have no access to the American market,” Cotton told The Post.

The names and backgrounds of PDD’s leaders were first revealed on Kejixun.com, a Chinese language news site back in April. The link was taken down shortly after The Post reached out to Temu and PDD.

“If this leak is accurate, it’s another clear indication of the many ties between the Communist Party of China and Chinese businesses — even ones, like Pinduoduo, that are nominally private,” said Isaac Stone Fish, founder and CEO of Strategy Risks, a China-focused data company.

DOE hired ex-‘Intifada High’ principal’s group for staff workshops on Israel-Hamas war

 The city Department of Education has inexplicably tapped a group headed by the notorious former “Intifada High” principal to lead school-staff workshops on handling the Israel-Hamas war in the classroom, infuriated teachers told The Post. 

Debbie Almontaser now pulls in hundreds of thousands of dollars in city contracts with her consulting firm Bridging Cultures Group, which on June 6 led professional development training sessions at at least 10 city public schools, teachers said.

In a workshop titled “Facilitating Courageous Conversations,” a pair of Jewish and Muslim facilitators discussed lesson plans for how to teach and guide students on discussing the ongoing war, but Jewish teachers seethed that the training material was slanted against Israel.

Sharon Malkin, an art teacher at Horace Greeley IS 10Q in Astoria, Queens, said one slide in the presentation described the Oct. 7 attack on the Jewish state and 8-month bombardment of Gaza as “emotionally traumatizing” — but made no mention of 251 hostages kidnapped by Hamas nor missile strikes launched at Israel by Iran and terror groups.

In a second workshop, a Jewish lecturer who had posted photos on Facebook with a Palestinian flag sticker snickered before providing her group data on the 1,200 Jewish deaths on Oct. 7 compared to over 37,000 Palestinian deaths over the past eight months, according to Malkin and a video recording of the training.

“Where do you think people are going to fall on that, especially people that don’t have any facts,” Malkin said, adding that her school’s principal apologized and canceled additional Bridging Culture’s workshops planned for the next day.

The department’s decision to hire Bridging Cultures — which offers workshops on how to teach about 9/11 in the classroom and religious diversity — flummoxed Jewish teachers, especially given Almontaser’s infamous history with the subject matter.

In a 2007 interview with The Post, Almontaser condoned T-shirts created and sold by an Arab women’s activist group that read “Intifada NYC.”

The phrase has long been used to refer to violent protests against Israel, including terror attacks by Palestinians in the late ’80s and early 2000s, but Almontaser insisted the phrase wasn’t intended to signal a bloody uprising in the city.

Her comments sparked outrage and a slew of media coverage, landing the embattled educator on the paper’s cover days later when she resigned as the head of the city’s newly formed Khalil Gibran International Academy. 

“Should that person be the one designing a curriculum to teach about antisemitism? I would argue hell no,” one Jewish public school teacher said. 

Bridging Cultures has received at least $235,000 in taxpayer-funded DOE contracts and purchases since fiscal year 2021, according to city records. It lists several workshops priced at $2,000 each on its website, including “Building Compassionate Learning Communities Through Culturally Responsive Education.”

Almontaser’s company also was one of several groups the DOE consulted for its “meeting the moment” plan to combat antisemitism and Islamophobia in the city’s schools.

In recent years, Almontaser has been involved in groups overtly backing anti-Israel demonstrations, such as the Muslim Community Network, where she is the board president. 

During the height of the anti-Israel college protests this year, MCN offered demonstrators “safety-training” seminars and posted advice on social media detailing how to refuse police searches and avoid being “fooled” by the “’good cop/bad cop’ technique.”

Almontaser, who has posted on social media support for anti-Israel protests and unconditional calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, also appears to have close ties with Schools Chancellor David Banks.

DOE spokesman Nathaniel Styer said the agency has prioritized using workshops and other training opportunities to help staff learn how to handle difficult conversations in the classroom about current events as part of its “meeting the moment” plan.

“To do this work, we have engaged a variety of high-quality, respected partners to present a balanced representation of viewpoints across our NYCPS community, with the ultimate goal of building understanding and empathy,” he said.

Bridging Cultures did not respond to request for comment.
