In the Beginning Was the Word, and the Word Was With the Thing, and the Word Was the Thing
The Stream ^ | 3 Mar, 2020 | John Zmirak

It’s tempting to write off resurrected Democratic front-runner Joe Biden’s latest howler as just another blooper. One of those Tucker Carlson helpfully compiled in his latest gallows humor montage. (See the bottom of this story.) As you watch it, remember that this isn’t just some guy auditioning to drive your kids on their school bus. He’s asking us for the launch codes that would let him, all on his own, launch a world-ending nuclear war. I won’t mock Biden’s scrambled statements here at The Stream. I’ll leave that to Carlson and to President Trump. I hope they treat Sen. Biden with all the charity and respect that media accorded President Ronald Reagan, Vice President Dan Quayle, and Governor Sarah Palin.

Maybe Biden Was … Lucid

But various commentators on Twitter suggested that there’s something deeper going on. At least with the most egregious of Biden’s latest “moments.” That is, the one where he couldn’t bring himself to finish the key quote from our country’s founding document, the Declaration of Independence.

(snip)

Instead, Biden said to a crowd of supporters: "We hold these truths to be self-evident. All men and women are created, by the, you know, you know the thing."

(snip)

Thingamajig of Heaven and Earth

But I found another theory among wise commentors on Twitter. One that gives Mr. Biden a little more credit for being compos mentis. What if Biden remembered, once he’d launched into that famous phrase, that it mentioned the Creator? And that sent the gears and pulleys, racing gerbils and tethered crows, of his Rube Goldberg intellect slamming into reverse. “Can’t mention the Creator — that will offend too many atheists. And they’re the core group in our party!”

A”Word” is merely a metaphor for a pattern of consciousness that has meaning. Hmmm. God is consciousness.

I think Biden’s mental issues are an act to prevent him from being prosecuted for corruption when he is no longer in contention for POTUS. It is a defense strategy.

Don’t fall for it. Slo Joe is just and act. He knows he going down for Burisma and he doesn’t want to go to prison.

JESUS IS THE WORD.

1 Corinthians 12:3
So I want you to know that no one speaking by the Spirit of God will curse Jesus, and no one can say Jesus is Lord, except by the Holy Spirit.

Seems to be a lot of ‘power’ in ‘words’.
