Biden’s Deep State
By Jim Hayek
Now after three years screaming about “Russian collusion” it
appears the Evil Empire is about to regain its lost ground, championing new
wars and more interventionist expansionism with a much greater role for the US
military in the world.
Pentagon
For the defense chief post, the Washington Post has portrayed the banal face of
Michele Flournoy as the pick to ‘restore stability’ to the Pentagon, an
entirely false assertion. Recall that Fluornoy promotes unilateral global US
military intervention, and advocated the destruction of Libya in 2011. By the
military-industrial revolving door, Flournoy enabled many Corporate weaponry
contracts amounting to tens of millions. Likewise Fluornoy is on the
Booz-Hamilton board, where the swamp cannot get any deeper. As if this wretched
example of an agent-provocateur for war and destruction were not bad enough,
Biden is reportedly considering Lockheed-Martin banal kingpin Jeh Johnson for
the DoD position, too.
Lockheed director Johnson was employed by Rob Reiner and Atlantic
editor arch-Neocon David Frum to run the Committee to Investigate Russia which
mysteriously blew up as soon as the Mueller Report was released. Jeh Johnson
has continued to warn of “Russian interference” in the US presidential election
until now. Biden’s anointing as president-elect has ended that. As Homeland
Security head, Johnson authorized cages for holdi
ng
immigrant children. He also supported the assassination of General Suleimani,
and has voiced support for US wars in Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
State
Another
potential pick among the banal Daughters of Darkness is Victoria Kagan-Nuland,
architect of the 2014 debacle in Ukraine (among other things). Outed at State
in an embarrassing act of what she called impressive statecraft and other
embarrassing incidents, Nuland seems an unlikely choice. But Kagan-Nuland is as
banal as banal can be, and Biden may somehow wish to reinforce his solidarity
with the JTF and his donor class, on Israel.
National Security Advisor
Banality is certainly the mark of the beast here, in the form of Tony Blinken.
Well in with Michele Flournoy (above) Blinken typifies the type of banality the
Deep State engages in to promote its evil, with Blinken as successful as any
other Deep State actor. A major hawk on Russia and war hawk in general, Blinken
is an apologist for Israel. Blinken is a war hawk on Afghanistan and Syria too,
and Blinken was directly involved in CIA operation Timber Sycamore. Oh, the
banality.
Another
model of banality is Leon CIA Panetta who so far claims that cruising the
Monterey peninsula is more fun that being in Washington. But we know that’s
false and Panetta would be a logical pick. Besides being a hawk on everything,
and laughing about the fact he has no idea how many wars Obama’s America was
fighting – because he lost count – Panetta is simply another sycophant for evil
like Hannah Arendt portrayed in her study of Adolf Eichmann.
CIA
Banal of the banal is of course Mike Morell. This incredibly vacuous excuse for
a human being has been hate-mongering for years. Beside his blatant pandering
support for another banal and brutal warmonger – Hillary Clinton – Mike Morell
is one Neoliberal who still maintains that Saddam Hussein actively aided and
abetted al Qaeda with regard to the 911 attacks. But Morell simply and
ultimately represents the banality of evil, just as Arendt depicted Adolf Eichmann,
but in Morell’s case succinctly summarized here by Ray McGovern.
United Nations
Outing the banality of the banal would be incomplete without mentioning Jen
Psaki. Although a potential pick for White House Communications Director, why
not promote an accomplished liar to a venue where accomplished lying really
matters?
Conclusion
There is no indication that the United States as an entrenched warfare state
will ever change its course until forced to. Mr Trump was incapable of
enforcing that change. Sidelined by Russiagate psychosis, as a Beltway Neophyte
and his own worst enemy at times, that sank Trump’s agenda. The actions of Mr
Trump now – to end the wars in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen – should have
been undertaken in earnest and without compromise years ago. Point being that
Mr Trump’s new appointments to the Pentagon – and let’s hope CIA – will
hopefully blunt the efficacy of Biden’s bad actors going forward.
Regardless,
characters the same or similar to the ones listed above will definitely infest
Washington’s infernal Beltway cesspool once again via Joe Biden … make no
mistake. …And they will be meaner and nastier than ever before! Guaranteed.

Another
Word For Euphemism
By: Judd Garrett
Joe Biden has started doing press briefing about the policies he
intends to implement in his Presidency. And every time I hear him speak, I have
a greater understanding of why certain people like Donald Trump so much. Right
or wrong; good, bad or indifferent, Trump put it out there. It was refreshing
but also a shock to the system at times to hear a politician speak so plainly,
so bluntly. You may not have liked it or agreed with what he was saying, but
you always knew where you stood with Donald Trump. And if you stood in America,
he was on your side.
Biden speaks in soft soothing tones lulling the listener to
sleep as he spews his euphemism which disguise what he really intends to do. If
you don’t know, the word euphemism is actually a euphemism for a lie. A
euphemism sounds nice and pleasing, but it usually is not, at least not for the
average citizen.
There is an inverse relationship between levels of tone and
levels of bad in the way certain politicians speak. The more soothing and
calmer the tone, the worse what it is they are saying. If what these
politicians were saying was actually good for the people, they wouldn’t need to
use euphemisms and temper their tones.
Biden spoke about forming an “international coalition” on
foreign policy. If you don’t know, an “international coalition” is a
euphemism for allowing the rest of the world to compromise American sovereignty
and put American interests secondary to their own interests. In other words,
allow other countries to rip-off America and its people.
Here is a list of the euphemisms you could hear from this new
administration over the next four years and their meanings, so you can follow
along:
Tough on China – appeasing China
Transparency - 1) you must believe my lies, 2) our
opponents must admit to our lies about them

dead people and illegal immigrants don’t vote
Voting Integrity - anyone being
allowed to vote without ID, proof of residency or citizenship, and not
requiring matching signatures
Fair Election - the election we

Fraudulent Election - the election they

Peaceful Transition of Power - 1) your candidate

our candidate challenging election results to the Supreme Court, or
investigating false claims of foreign interference in an election our candidate
lost, 3) setting up a shadow government led by the FBI to undermine and
delegitimize our duly-elected opponent’s authority and standing as President
The People - the human beings who voted for us
Rights - actions and behaviors that we will allow the citizens to

Bi-Partisan - our opponent must do as we say or they

Increase Revenue - raise taxes

Soaking the Rich - raising middle
class taxes while protecting our billionaire donors
Tax Cuts for The Rich - our opponents
wanting to cut middle-class taxes
Greedy Rich People - the millionaires
and billionaires who did not donate to my campaign
Protecting Middle Class Jobs - signing trade
agreements that send middle class jobs to Mexico and China
Fairness - a word that means someone is about to
get screwed
Economic Fairness - taking money from one
person and giving it to someone else
Freedom of Speech - citizens being
allowed to say what we approve of
Freedom of Political Expression - any
political post that Jack Dorsey and Mark Zuckerberg do not block on their sites
Censorship - our opponents
questioning our false narratives
Hate speech - any political speech that we disagree
with
Common-Sense – my political beliefs
Haters – anyone who disagrees with me
Fair-minded – anyone who agrees with me
Extreme – 1) our opponent’s political positions,
2) following the Constitution
Mean-Spirited – telling the truth
Academic Freedom – thoughts, ideas,
curricula that doesn’t violate politically-correct ideological orthodoxy of the
educational institution

ideology that regresses our country to less freedom and more government control

buildings, looting stores, setting cars on fire and bashing people’s heads in
Riots - our opponents’ supporters walking arm in arm peacefully
singing hymns
Stacking the Court - constitutional
appointment and confirmation of a highly qualified justice
Judicial Equity - adding five extra
justices to the Supreme Court to swing the ideological power to our side
The Public’s Interest – the policy that
is best for our political party and donors
Follow the Science – selectively using
statistics and scientific studies to support our agenda
Public Health – a term used to help
strong-arm the citizens to do what we say
Mitigation – forcing the citizens to follows rules
and lockdowns that we do not follow ourselves
Common Sense Gun Laws - gun confiscation
The Gun Lobby – legal gun owners
Undocumented Worker – illegal alien
Dreamer - illegal alien
Comprehensive Immigration Reform - giving
20 million illegal aliens amnesty
Xenophobes – 1) anyone who supports border security
or is against unfettered immigration, 2) anyone who does not want drugs, drug
runners, MS-13 gang members or terrorists coming into our country
Right to Choose – abortion
Women’s Health – abortion
Terminate a Pregnancy - abortion
Abortion - killing an unborn baby
Microaggression – a made-up word

Biden offended/confused by softballs?
Joe Biden: Why Are Reporters Asking Me Questions?
Former Vice President Joe Biden isn’t used to getting real questions. On Friday, Biden appeared dumbfounded as to why a reporter was asking the projected Democratic presidential-elect a question as the press pool was being scurried away by staff.
“Mr. Biden, the COVID task force said it’s safe for students to be in class. Are you going to encourage unions to cooperate more to bring kids back to classrooms, sir?” asked CBS reporter Bo Erickson.
“Why are you the only guy that always shouts out questions?” Biden said.
It was a bizarre episode for the 78-year-old Democrat, who enjoyed the least amount of media scrutiny on the campaign trail of any modern candidate running for president. While serious revelations were emerging, revealing Biden’s role in his son’s potentially criminal overseas business dealings, reporters asked hard-hitting questions such as what kind of ice cream Biden purchased at a pit stop.
Erickson was also one of the few reporters to ask Biden about the scandals plaguing his campaign, bombshells suppressed by Big Tech and either ignored or dubiously delegitimized by other mainstream outlets. When pressed on the issue, Biden lashed out at the media.
Erickson’s treatment of the former vice president Friday was the same treatment the media offered to President Donald Trump and his staff throughout the entire last four years, which was on full display again in the White House briefing room on the same day.
Meanwhile, one would be hard-pressed to find California Sen. Kamala Harris, Biden’s running mate, at any point throughout the entire general election campaign taking a single question from a reporter during a press conference.
The media gave a preview of how it would treat a Biden administration on Monday, when Biden began speaking with reporters, who lobbed him softball questions. Joe Concha, a media reporter for The Hill, dubbed the incoming presidential press corps “The new marshmallow media in the Biden era,” in a column published Thursday.
“Any press conference Biden has held since capturing the Democratic nomination has consisted mostly of questions about President Trump and very few questions about Biden’s own worldview, record, policy stances or perspective on important issues such as trade, foreign affairs, gun control, immigration, education, or taxation as it relates to repealing the Trump tax cuts,” Concha wrote. “Of the 12 questions Biden received Monday, there were zero follow-ups. Zero interruptions during answers. Zero questions about any of the issues above, which rank as among the top concerns on voters’ minds, along with the coronavirus.”
