Only in the world of political make-believe we inhabit in the West would the Wall Street Journal’s account of Biden’s years-long cognitive decline, and its concealment by his officials, count as a scoop.
And only in a world in which the billionaire-owned media alone constructs and polices what counts as reality would the WSJ be able to run this story without also being expected to consider what it signifies about America’s professed democracy.
The emperor, we are now told, was naked all along. How did it take more than four years for the fearless, tenacious billionaire-owned media to notice?
The WSJ reports that even back in 2021 Biden had what his officials described as “bad days” when his mind worked so poorly he had to be kept away from senior Congresspeople and his own cabinet colleagues.
So insulated was he that he rarely met even with key figures directing White House policy, such as the Secretaries of State, Defence and the Treasury.
He was able to hold only two or three cabinet meetings a year during his four-year term – a total of nine, compared to 19 by Barack Obama and 25 by Donald Trump.
His aides barely strayed from his side because they needed to whisper instructions for him to carry out the simplest of public tasks, such as where to enter and exit a room.
Concern only went mainstream when he performed catastrophically in an unscripted TV debate against Trump in June, eventually having to pull out of his re-election bid and let his vice-president, Kamala Harris, take over.
Shortly afterwards, it emerged that he had been receiving regular visits to the White House from a leading neurologist and Parkinson’s expert.
Many observers – myself included – pointed out Biden’s mental infirmity from the get-go. Matt Orfalea has been compiling video clips of the president’s stunning gaffes and verbal confusions for years. None of us were genuises. We didn’t need access to the 50 White House insiders interviewed by the WSJ. It was blindingly obvious.
Biden wanders offstage or walks like a geriatric robot. Yet we are meant to believe he’s carefully navigating us through the nuclear tripwires of the West’s serial wars.

You had to be lying, or hypnotised, to deny what was so visible.
And yet every time we pointed out Biden’s clear cognitive impairment, we were accused of promoting conspiracy theories, engaging in elder abuse, or supporting Trump.
The emperor, so we were told, was fully clothed.
The truth about Biden hasn’t suddenly leaked out from his officials. Senior politicians on both sides of the aisle knew. White House correspondents knew. Editors knew. And they all lied to protect the system of power to which they belong, the system that keeps them gainfully employed, the system that maintains their status. No one was going to rock the boat.
The WSJ hasn’t suddenly found out things it didn’t know before. The reason it is coming clean now – as are White House staffers – is that President Biden is almost out the door. The truth is no longer a serious threat to the Washington power system.
There will be more revelations about Biden’s incapacity – maybe contained in a future book by Bob Woodward – after his presidency has become a distant memory. When it is safe for the full story to be told. When the lies are no longer important.
But more significant than the media deceptions are the fact that much of the public fell for them, not once but over and over again: day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year.
Why? Because far too many of us are in the grip of the West’s propaganda system. We believe that the billionaire-owned media is to be trusted, that it serves the public good, not private wealth.
If a large chunk of the public can be persuaded that a man who is incapable of finding the door through which he’s supposed to leave is “sharp as a tack”, then why would they not also believe that the United States is promoting democracy as it has laid waste to the Middle East over the past two decades to control the region’s oil?
Or that Washington is seeking peace for the world and Ukraine by arming it with ever-more offensive weapons against a nuclear-armed Russia so that the US can place ballistic missiles on Moscow’s doorstep?
Or that the US wants a ceasefire in Gaza even as it supplies the munitions, intelligence and diplomatic cover for Israel to carry out a genocide there?
The problem is that, subjected to a lifetime of elite propaganda, many are readier to believe that very propaganda than the evidence of their own own eyes. They are truly hypnotised.
Even now, many are listening to the “revelations” of Biden’s long decline and, just like the WSJ, not wondering how the US has been functioning for the past four years with a president barely able to read a teleprompter, one whose mind is so vacant he can wander off in the middle of a conversation.
Does the US run by itself? Does it need a president? Or is the president nothing more than a figurehead for a permanent bureaucracy that expects to wield power from the shadows, unobserved by voters and unaccountable to them? Is the US a democracy, or is the democracy just a facade behind which a wealth elite maintains its power?
Biden has given us the answer. Were you listening?
Stephen Fry joins the list of pedos given knighthoods and awards by royalty
Cliff Richard Elton John Jimmy Saville Tony Blair Anthony Blunt Kier Starmer and possibly Sadiq Khan, all homosexuals given awards, what is this ? why do royalty like perverts ?
Was anyone listening and why on earth would it matter?
90 percent of the USA in 1941 wanted nothing to do with Churchhill’s war — did it matter then?
That’s how little Biden’s brain matters now.
Even if we know what good does KNOWING ever do?
The new year hasn’t even begun and already the enemies of Britain have started the next phase of their attack on our people and culture.
First, they came for our pensioners, then our farmers and locked up hundreds of patriotic political prisoners for daring to oppose them.
You may be thinking to yourself, how could it possibly get any worse?
Who are these political vultures circling now?
Now, they are coming for your children.
Labour is planning a total overhaul of the national curriculum in order to inject their poisonous ideology of ‘diversity’ into every aspect of our children’s education.
We all know that ‘diversity’ is just a left-wing code-word meaning ‘less white British Christian’.
In doing so, they intend to undermine everything British and Christian that remains in the already far-left-dominated education system.
They say their new plan will ‘help produce young people who appreciate the diversity of Britain’.
In other words, they want to brainwash young children with left-wing ‘multicultural’ propaganda.
They want to create a generation of left-wing zombies who will, after years of indoctrination, willingly accept becoming a despised minority in their own country and will ‘celebrate’ their own cultural decay and replacement.
Communist trade unions and groups of woke activist ‘teachers’ have made submissions to this review urging it to ‘decolonise’ subjects that are ‘monocultural’.
By ‘monocultural’, they mean ‘British’.
‘Monocultural’ is the opposite of ‘multicultural’.
They don’t want our children learning about British history and traditions, they want children brainwashed with a whole spectrum of foreign cultures.
Again, ‘monocultural’ is just left-wing speak for foisting white guilt upon every British child, telling them to hate their ancestors and their glorious history.
Among the proposals are suggestions of the introduction of more ‘diverse’ materials, particularly in ‘majority white’ classrooms and discarding English literature which is seen as ‘traditional’.
This new Cultural Marxist curriculum will be compulsory in all state schools, including academies that were previously free to opt-out.
They don’t want British parents to have any way out to stop their children from being totally and utterly brainwashed.
We must not sit idly by while these degenerate communists attempt to brainwash our children with their poisonous anti-British lies and propaganda.
The Labour Party’s ‘curriculum’ is nothing more than a Cultural Marxist tool, designed to weaken our nation and speed up the ongoing replacement of our native people and culture.
They seek to replace us with foreign invaders, with no loyalty to our country or our traditions, and they want to brainwash our children into not only accepting it, but loving it and celebrating their own people’s destruction.
We in Britain First will not accept this attempt to poison the minds of our youth.
We know that our strength lies in our shared British heritage and our love for our homeland.
We know that if we are to preserve our way of life and secure a future for British children, we must fight back politically.
This is the only thing the traitor politicians truly fear.
That is why we are calling upon you Guy as fellow patriots and British nationalists.
Let us work together to ensure that our children are taught the truth about their glorious British history and our heroic and mighty people.
Let us work together to build a brighter future for ourselves, our children and for future generations of Britons yet to come.
Together, we can defeat all threats to our future.
Together, we can restore the pride and dignity of the British people, and we will show the entire world that we will never be intimidated or defeated.

TV Licencing could be cut to £0 for all state pensioners as government forced to respond to folk refusing to pay
Claims of BBC bollox news and pro israeli terrorism have seriously harmed the BBC
plus its hiding up of an armful of sex perverts, many not yet named Derren Brown Trevor Eve Freddie Star and Paul Gambacinni are among those still hidden by the BBC
State pensioners are calling for the BBC TV Licence to be made free for all pensioners of any age with a petition to the government.
Currently, the £169.50 TV Licence, due to rise to £174.50, is payable by state pensioners until they reach the age of 75.
Rothschild who own the BBC are said to be very upset
The over-75s only qualify for a free TV Licence if they claim Pension Credit, a benefit aimed at helping retirees on low incomes of £222 a week or less.
Many seniors don’t know they can get a walk-in shower covered by the government. This of course is not automatic and must first be claimed from the DWP and then the free TV Licence claimed from TV Licensing.
many pensioners cannot claim it should be automatically given to them
government know who they are they spy on them enough, as many this age were National Front supporters
Now, a new petition is pushing for the government to change the law so that anyone who retires is given a free TV Licence automatically, like a free bus pass.
The petition, which currently has over 14,700 signatures, says: “We want the Government to fund free TV licences for existing pensioners and those who reach the official retirement age. When people reach retirement age, we think they should receive a state-financed free TV licence.
“Many pensioners live on the breadline with only the TV for company. With the cost of food soaring and utility bills ever higher, we feel there is a desperate need to provide all pensioners with at least this concession.
“We feel it is a double outrage that those who have given their all to this country in taxes and raising children have to pay a TV Licence fee and are only exempt if they receive means-tested Pension Credit.
While incoming migrants get it for free
And the political establishment in the whole of Europe played along with this charade knowing that Biden was virtually brain dead.
You don’t want Democracy anyway: it means the mediocre decide things. The USA is a Republic, which is a bit better
The people are combining to produce a document
detailing UK collaborators to the israeli genocide
Jewish terorism and control of the news media
are being documented
After the war on the occupied territories
court cases will be brought and harsh sentences are being proposed
in a series of Nuremberg style trails
Nutenyahu has already said israel will pay no compensation
the USA can pay it for himn
Though it might have taken the likes of the WSJ, NYT, BBC, SkyNews, The Economist, Time, Newsweek et al FOUR YEARS to figure out that “the elevator didn’t go all the way to the top”….
I’d have thought that a reasonably intelligent 5-year-old would’ve noticed that “Gramps” Biden had had a “screw loose” since DAY ONE…
not that propping up – like a wooden Injun (with ‘dry rot’) outside a cigar-store – an easily-manipulated geriatric dementia-addled fck’tard as “President” – President of ‘ The Greatest Democracy Da Whirled Has Evahh See’d!” no less! – wasn’t a ‘Wet Dream Come True!’ for NuttYahoo and the “dual citizen” (((Neocon))) Nutters that actually seized the US ‘reins of power’…
to further the kosher-certified agenda of ‘Israel Uber Alles’… and “Fck The World and Everyone Else in it!”…. in World War III…
Or – to put it more succinctly- if the US is a “Democracy”…
then Hillary is Miss Universe….. “Our kWeir” is Mr Personality…
and I’m Idi Amin!! 😂
When a people are so dumbed down with toxins in everything injected into their minds and bodies that they are oblivious to the fact that their rulers profess a right to lie to them and constantly fool them alleging that it is for their own good, and they no longer even profess an interest in knowing the truth on crucial issues affecting their lives, as well as the lives of others who are victims of their nations policies, then not only are their elections, their leaders, and democracy absolute fakes, but their entire nation is fake. In fact, the US leads the world in all forms of fakery, with entire agencies, institutions, and corporations spending billions in generating the stuff, and now with their people so braindead they will believe virtually any bullshit they are fed. In fact the braindead and constantly-confused Biden has proved to be the perfect reflection of at least a half of the American people.
The biggest fakery factor in the US is its fake idea of freedom. The main buzz words for freedom are “free enterprise”, “free trade”, “free markets”, and what they mean by that is freedom from government regulation as if there ought to be few if any restrictions on any of the abuses of industry, and people exist for the benefit of business and profits. Then on the other hand we have the growth of government departments, agencies and regulations supposedly there to protect the people, but all growing and becoming organism and feeding upon the people just like the business class. The facts are that the people are constantly being harmed physically, mentally and spiritually both by of the money-making toxic products generated by the rapacious business class and by the ever encroaching government intrusions into their lives. At the top of the power structures we find the mega banks and corporations and our governments, which yields an exploitive ruling class with absolutely no moral limits.
This ruling class has no interest in freely distributing the truth on any subject relative to the vital interests of their people, with would dissipate most of the corruption simply because such freedom of information would dissipate their own powers and profits.
The facts are that their ruling class is content to spend hundreds of billions on mass deceptions and fearmongering psyops to keep fooling the people and to maintain their powers, unchecked. Few of their people really understand that freedom cannot survive in a sea of lies where eventually nothing can be trusted including the people and products they produce. On a more general level, their government systems and institutions have become so corrupted with dishonesty and institutionalized fakery that it is as if the entire nation is suffering from, and dying from, a massive autoimmune disorder, with the institutions and regulatory agencies turning against the vital interests of their own people instead of serving and protecting them and doing the jobs they were meant to do.
Ingrained in the American psyche are the principles that “might makes right” and “survival of the fittest” as if the powerful have some God-given right to stomp all over the weak. That is the hallmark of US “free enterprise”, and it has infected everything their nation and their government does. Reacting against the disease of the institutionalized corruption with each institution constantly feeding its own greedy appetites you have the equally “materialist” and short-sighted socialist and globalists movements which simply want to deconstruct the entire nation, and most national powers.
Something is supposed to happen on January 21. Along with kicking off anther puppet president administration we also fully expect the US “deep state” to kick off another massive deception or psyop to control the plebs in the West, most likely very similar to the one they pulled off in 2020. We expect to be deceived as if the lies and fake narratives are ritual rites to be performed over us by the ruling class, and that is exactly what they want us to believe. If you belong to an institution controlled by their top-down order you are expected to behave as if the fakery is gospel truth.
Americans for the most part cannot seem to see that the hallowed idea of freedom has a great deal more to do with just making money. But money is their god because they believe it gives them the power to do what they want. When their government wants more equality for the masses they spread more of the stuff around and use more lies to cover up all of the graft and corruption in the process, just as they cover up all of corrupt dealings and kickbacks in their capitals with the various corporate interests. That their major elections are also rigged should be no surprise. Jungle freedom means growth for all sorts of creatures, good and evil, and it should be no surprise that every crime in that nation eventually becomes institutionalised as an industry, and is eventually given an honored a place in their establishment ruling class – as long as it is making money.
With an open and wide distribution of truth, and the duty to disclose it, on issues relative to the interests of the people, then all of the dishonesty, corruption and exploitation would have a hard time surviving. Fundamentally, without the facts (i.e. the truth) it is impossible for people to make rational and reasonable choices and judgements. That is why it is also dishonest and evil for those in power even to delay disclosure of the facts on crucial issues.
The truth by itself will not guarantee more justice or a benign exercise of power by the powerful, but it is a necessary condition for justice and it is the only real check the common person can have against all of the abuses and exploitation they are being subjected to.
How do we get there? No real reforms will ever occur, or are possible, until there is an awakening of conscience, with absolute standards of right and wrong and having both temporal and eternal consequences. The fact is that Americans for the most part have lost the very basis of the liberty their nation was founded upon. Even Thomas Jefferson, one of their most irreligious of the founding fathers, said in his later years, “No nation has ever yet existed or been governed without religion. Nor can be.”
The most basic problem is that few are willing to flock back to religious beliefs and practices which will restrict their own dishonest practices, as well as limit the various toxins they have become addicted to. Nor do they want to put their souls into the care of weak and corrupt prelates many of whom also are pawns of the ruling establishment. However, they don’t have to surrender to any imperfect mortal but only to God, and only to effective practices which will raise them up toward him, because that is the true and only real source of freedom and liberty from all of the evil in our midst.
The vast majority of normal people knew all along the Biden was a halfwit from day one of his tenure, the problem is there aren’t many normal people anymore, probably due to social media.
That is the real issue, oh and that there always was a secret government hidden behind puppets such as those politicians at the forefront.
the majority of americans with low moral standards
(decomposed by jew spirit, Holywood, bankercheat)

JEW BABYLON THE HOME OF PERVERSION !
Is that a rhetorical question? First its a Republic. Secondly it never was and never will be a “democracy”. The sooner it collapses the better. except I worry about the US citizens fleeing to Canada and destroying that Country.
As many of the ancients taught, without internal virtues building character, humans become weak and are controlled more and more by external forces. Why democracy is a sham in the West is because freedom itself has become a sham. The people are content to be constantly deceived by the ruling elites. They are content to live in ignorance, dependency, and fear trading honesty, personal responsibility, and real freedom for a pottage of superficial material and sensual freedoms. When a few rise above that level they then feel entitled to lord it over and exploit those they deem inferior, and who in fact are so easily deceived and intimidated with their technocratic powers. Hence everywhere we look we see the law of the jungle at work in which the maxim that might makes right is the only real religion.
Socrates was executed because he awoke the consciences of many Greeks to universal principles of justice and right and wrong, and liberating them to examine their lives from their prisons and connecting them to the eternal and to God. Jesus, however, was much more than just a teacher and when he came along he gave us the actual power and grace to lift ourselves up and do just that.
In trading off our personal integrity and freedoms for the pottage of materialistic ticky tacky and the candy of sensual delights, we simply become slaves to all of those who gain power over us. The answer is not libertarianism, or anarchy, or socialism. It is to start by examining your own life and to make a fundamental choice , or a “leap of faith”, in order to connect to the most liberating power of all.
The history of the West is one of various failed and corrupted external systems and personages of authority in which the worst of the worst ascend and usurp positions of power, who in their own weaknesses are further corrupted by their powers and end up corrupting everything under their controls. The rule of law to them simply means their right to rule over us in which they and their minions are exempt and above virtually all laws which apply to us. These deceivers often employ fake fronts of religiosity to maintain their controls and implement their plans, and have in our times usurped virtually every major position of authority and influence.
Any people who accept a system of official pragmatism or rule where the ends justify the means, and unwaveringly accept the administration of deception, depravity, degrowth, depression, and even death (all of the “de” words) are being ruled by the lords of darkness and not by the instruments of God. In a constantly-maintained condition of fear, dependency, and uncertainty and in that demoralised condition they become suckers for the panacea of a temporal leader to make everything right and improve their condition. If, for instance, Hitler had maintained the principles of his Christian faith he never would have utilized such evil methods to attain his ends. It is by the people throwing out the baby with the bathwater and lacking any real internal strength and integrity in their personal lives, that they flock in obedience to the minions of the lords of darkness, such as a Lenin, a Stalin, or a Hitler, and the list goes on and on and on, with all the leaders selected for them by the same powers.
The picture above in this scribble about “American democracy” has nothing to do with polliticks. It’s only was about CHANGE! Joe’s nappies of course. Democrassy is no sham. It’s bu$$yne$$ a$ u$ual. When will “reporter” listening to what the ugly truth slaps in their faces on a daily basis and start repeating what truth tells them instead of begging for support – for some more dribble just to pass time in hell?
Fred B–the term “Survival of the Fittest” is misunderstood: it meant the survival of the best suited to conditions at any given time, not as in someone doing press-ups or able to run fast
It looked like “King” Charles at first: all the players are descended from Royalty and their eyes are too close together
Depraved ghoul Pedo Joe Bribem fully deserves to be stripped naked, his teeth ripped out, violently sodomized by a mob of nigger and mud Orcs, dragged up and down the block by his ankles, rolled in pig shit and salt, then hanged from a spike at the top of the Blight House fence. Same with his degenerate son and his loathsome wife.
“The truth about Biden hasn’t suddenly leaked out from his officials. Senior politicians on both sides of the aisle knew. White House correspondents knew. Editors knew. And they all lied to protect the system of power to which they belong, the system that keeps them gainfully employed, the system that maintains their status.” … And every single one of those agents of treachery and treason deserve to be chased through the streets and slaughtered. Every single f*cking one of them.
If anything, the Saruman administration has again proved the desperate need for a BS vaccination for all elected officials, mandates, development of treatment options, and ESPECIALLY a better plan for removal of such administrations. If humanity survives the next 20 days it’s by the grace of God (atheists CAN and prolly should sacrifice some virgins if it makes em feel better). Maybe we could have a new holiday, a national day of breathing again.
But, for elected officials only – a (mandatory) vaccination for bullshit? If we can put a man on the moon…
