Stupidity Rules Under Biden, Just As It Did Under Trump

 

 

Biden starts so deeply prejudiced so that he is even less intelligent, and more hostile toward Russia, than was George W. Bush, who had said of Putin, he “looked in his eyes and saw his soul.” Biden says, instead, he saw no “soul”, but just a “killer.” However, Biden’s stupidity is even worse than that.

 

 

 

Biden isn’t doing this to satisfy his voters — quite the contrary: Americans are overwhelmingly opposed to this draconian anti-marijuana policy that he’s imposing. Pew had headlined, on 14 November 2019, “Two-thirds of Americans support marijuana legalization”, and reported that 55% of Republicans did, and that an even more overwhelming 78% of Democrats did. And the only age-group who didn’t were Americans older than 70. So, not only is the self-contradiction by Biden on this issue not politically advantageous for him, but especially younger voters will be disappointed by his arbitrary and self-contradictory policy-enforcement about this matter. It reinforces the public image of him that he really doesn’t much care about the public’s welfare — he’s simply ruled by his prejudices. His campaign statements for legalizing marijuana were fakery, and he is now actually punishing young staffers who had believed his statements and acted on that belief. The Daily Beast’s news-report closed by asserting that “would-be staffers in the Biden administration whose dream jobs were derailed by an opaque system now feel their own truthfulness has been used against them. ‘It’s exclusively targeting younger staff and staff who came from states where it was legal,’ the former staffer said.” This scatter-brained policy is obviously counter-productive, in every aspect.

 

Biden’s policymaking is stupid and driven by prejudices he has had his whole life, not only regarding domestic affairs (such as marijuana), but also regarding foreign affairs, as is shown in the following internationally embarrassing incident, which therefore makes even clearer that this is the type of person that he is — an old fool who is now just an older fool:

 

 

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Not the crown prince because we have never, that I'm aware of, when we have an alliance with a country, gone to the acting head of state and punished that person. And -- and -- ostracized him. But here's the deal. We said, number one, end the war in Yemen. End the starvation there. 

 

The double-standard there (calling Putin “a killer” and also threatening him — all based on evidence that’s incomplete and dubious — but holding harmless Crown Prince Salman, against whom the evidence that he is a “killer” is indisputable) is probably obvious to everyone except Joe Biden himself. Furthermore, it’s even worse than that, because the Sauds wouldn’t have invaded Yemen if the U.S. hadn’t supported them in doing so — it was always a war by the Saudi, UAE, and U.S., Governments, to exterminate the Houthis in Yemen. Biden, too — and far more clearly — is a “killer.” Also, Biden’s publicly announced 100% trust in what the U.S. Director of National Intelligence says is grotesque, given the U.S. ‘intelligence’ community’s 100% record of neoconservative lies which were always accepted unquestioningly by Biden and which were cited by him as being reasons why the U.S. should invade Iraq, Libya, Syria, and other countries that the U.S. has invaded and destroyed. Who exceeds that record, as a “killer” (in Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and more)?

 

Furthermore: Biden’s retrospectively now pontificating “We said, number one, end the war in Yemen. End the starvation there” is the exact opposite of what had been his position as the U.S. Vice President under Obama, because he was always even more of a neocon than his boss Obama was, and his boss was complicit with Crown Prince bin Salman al-Saud and with UAE’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in perpetrating this extermination-campaign in Yemen. The U.S. leadership is an international war criminal in Yemen. These late pontifications, from America’s new President, don’t diminish that guilt.

 

Biden’s holier-than-thou hypocrisy was being displayed there for all to see, in any nation where the press would choose to broadcast it. His especially targeted object of contempt in this particular matter, the head of state in the other nuclear superpower, Vladimir Putin, took advantage of that hypocritical public display, not only by responding to it in a gentlemanly fashion, but by challenging the U.S. President to allow the world community to listen-in on, and to view live in real time, their next conversation.

 

On March 18th, Reuters headlined “Putin offers Biden public talks after U.S. president says he thinks he is a killer”, and reported that “President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday he and U.S. President Joe Biden should hold talks in coming days that would be broadcast live, after Biden said he thought the Russian leader was a killer and bilateral ties sank to a new post-Cold War low.” Their report continued:

 

 

Biden has the same holier-than-thou ‘policy’ on Iran: he demands that though the U.S. — under Trump — broke the Iran deal, America won’t even negotiate for a return to it unless Iran will first come back into full compliance with it and (in addition) reduce its missile forces (which weren’t part of that deal). On March 19th, the Washington Post headlined “Biden’s window with Iran is starting to close”.

 

The big bully, the U.S., under its new President, is having a big tantrum. So: What’s new? How will he respond when the nations that he hates and demands to conquer reject what he ‘offers’ for their capitulation? Will it be yet more invasions by the U.S.? Whom will that benefit, except, perhaps, corporations such as Lockheed Martin?

 

As regards Putin’s offer to have a live telecast debate with Biden, the White House promptly said that the U.S. President is too busy to do that.

NOTE regarding “GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: So you know Vladimir Putin. You think he's a killer? PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: Uh-huh. I do. … It was when President Bush had said, ‘I looked in his eyes and saw his soul.’”:

 

This type of U.S. Presidential talking about Putin goes back to the following interview of George W. Bush on 29 May 2003 (which Biden correctly quoted there but turned now against Putin):

 

I never forget my first question I was asked, after having met Vladimir Putin in Slovenia [in 2001], was from an enterprising U.S. reporter. He said, "Do you trust Vladimir Putin?" And I, without hesitating, said, "Yes." And he said, "How do you know?" I said, "I looked in his eyes and saw his soul."

 

Obviously, Biden starts so deeply prejudiced so that he is even less intelligent, and more hostile toward Russia, than was George W. Bush, who had said he “looked in his eyes and saw his soul.” Biden says, instead, he saw no “soul”, but just a “killer.”

 

Biden, ever the plagiarizer, is actually picking up, there, not only from Bush but from Bush’s ‘Defense’ Secretary Robert M. Gates’s 2007 comment, which Gates repeated in 2014, that "I had looked into Putin’s eyes and I saw a stone cold killer." Whereas Gates was plagiarizing from Bush and turned it against Putin, Biden plagiarized Gates’s twisted-negative version of Bush’s favorable comment.

 

This is what a ‘democracy’ gets from having the owners of its mega-corporations, such as Lockheed Martin — corporations that thrive on invasions — be also the predominant funders of its political Parties. The result isn’t democracy; it is imperialism; and that’s what had produced both of the Twentieth Century’s two World Wars, and could be on the way toward producing this Century’s WW III.
