Big Lies and Bigger Lies
What's Up ^ | 24 Apr, 2023 | James Howard Kunstler

Posted on 04/26/2023 5:08:41 AM PDT by MtnClimber

“If you’re going to lie,” Joseph Goebbels used to say (in German of course), “make it a whopper.” How did that work out for the Third Reich? Today, The New York Times says “Joe Biden” is revving up to run for president again in 2024. Is that so? One DNC strategist, Maria Cardona, was quoted saying, “Democrats complain that he might be too old. But then, when they’re asked, ‘Well, who?’ There is no one else.”

There you have the sucking chest wound at the center of the Democratic Party, a malodorous vacuum where, as they like to say, democracy dies in darkness. You understand, this is exactly what you get when all you do is tell lies, always and everywhere, about everything.

Now I will tell you the truth: “Joe Biden” will not be running for president ever again. “Joe Biden” will either be impeached for real high crimes and misdemeanors, or he will be bum-rushed out of the White House on some medical pretext before Independence Day. “Joe Biden’s” crimes have finally caught up with him. He sold out his country.

The facts have been out in plain sight since before a coalition of rogues and frauds stuffed him into the Oval Office, January, 2021. As vice-president under Mr. Obama, “JB” was allowed to run a global grifting operation that netted his family tens of millions. (Mr. Obama received plenty of his own sanitized grift in the form of absurdly large book deals and TV contracts, enough swag to lead the deluxe life of a senior panjandrum. His job, post-presidency, was to feed the Woke hustle with an occasional speech and otherwise shut up.)

The coalition of rogues and frauds, a.k.a. the permanent bureaucracy or the Deep State, had committed so many crimes since 2016 that its sole agenda turned to driving the one-man wrecking-crew called Donald Trump out of office and making sure he never got close to a lever of power again, by any means necessary. That is still all that animates this gang. They managed to roll enough of the American public in the process to maintain power and influence over them via control of the news, censorship, and use of their captive legal system to harass and punish their enemies. And now it’s all falling apart.

How many Americans with the capacity to pay attention actually doubted the veracity of Hunter Biden’s laptop? Very few, I’d guess, deep down, though millions pretended it was not for-real because the contents were so obviously incriminating. So, they had to lie to themselves. But then, what’s wrong with lying to yourself when all the authority figures in your society set the example of lying to you about everything, always, and everywhere? Do you see where this habit of lying gets you?

The trouble with lying, of course, is that it requires a never-ending struggle of covering up prior lies, and then that task requires the invention of new lies, which, in-turn, induces more fabrication of lies in a self-reinforcing feedback loop subject to the implacable law of entropy (a wearing-down to zero), until you have flown up your own cloacal aperture — the place where souls go to die. And now, maybe, you see why the regime in power has made itself so deeply and heinously soulless, which is to say: evil.....

I don’t know. The same people who tried to take out Trump with no evidence are capable of ignoring Biden no matter what the evidence may be.

This may happen in a dream world, but not the one we’re living in.

The Dems are in a real bind here because the only candidate they have outside of Biden that might be able to compete against Trump is the antiestablishment RFK Jr, and they fear him as much as they do Trump. With the unpopularity of Biden even among Dems they may be forced to steal the primary as well as the general election. They really have their work cut out for them.

“...this is exactly what you get when all you do is tell lies, always and everywhere, about everything...”

What angers me is that, we live in this ‘information age’, where everything you do/say (have done or said or done) lives into perpetuity, on line.

There are are hundreds of ways (and JUST as many eager people) to fact check and challenge your lies/errors/omissions.

So, HOW can people like Joe and his crowd continue in their pretend world?

The ‘media’ (themselves, accomplished liars) are to blame for much of what Americans have habituated themselves to.

But, it’s not that simple. I most resent the GOP, which for decades has looked the other way and in some cases, has collaborated in this stuff.

The deep state has already shown to be guilty of high treason and will be brought to justice, but Trump’s plan will not come to fruition until a critical mass (>50% or much more?) of sleeping Americans (even includes many freepers) WTFU!

WTFU ~ getting informed and doing something to mess them up!

And it will also still require 10 days of darkness and intervention by a Holy & Almighty God!!!

No, he didn't. He never sold out China.

I thought Kunstler was more of a realist - there appears to be a lot of wishful thinking here. Biden may be squeezed out if he becomes more of liability than an asset, but that will just push Gavin Newsom to the forefront - with the same carnival of moral depravity firmly entrenched around him.
