The Long Knives Come Out
A reminder: I am not a partisan. I have not belonged to a political party since 2001, and since then have encouraged others to not participate in politics. I pay attention to politics because it affects my liberty and the wealth of my clients.
In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt showed up at an Olympic qualifying race to compete against Jesse Owens. For years, the media and the president's supporters had been defending his fitness for the task. Unfortunately for FDR, it did not go well. This is basically what happened when an enfeebled Joe Biden showed up on June 27 to debate a robust Donald Trump. Shazam! The president has dementia! Who knew?
According to this article, “Many Americans were unaware that their president had to spend much of his time in a wheelchair.....Roosevelt was able to win the cooperation of reporters in playing down the extent of his disability and was generally photographed from above the waist; there are only a few photos of him in a wheelchair....The fact that [Roosevelt's White House physician] was a man who could keep his mouth shut was an asset....Democratic leaders could see Roosevelt's health was in decline and worried that he would not survive a fourth term.” Sound familiar?
During the Watergate investigation, one senator asked, “What did the president know, and when did he know it?” It's time to ask a similar question: “Who knew that the president didn't know (because of dementia) and when did they know it?”
Joe's son Hunter knew in early January 2019 when he joked about it with his therapist. In text messages on Hunter's laptop, the therapist asked if Joe could “recall details" with the "dementia and all.” Hunter replied that he can't remember “much these days but since it's all fake news anyway, I don't see the problem.” Oh, but wait, 51 former intelligence agents dismissed the New York Post's story about the laptop, claiming it “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” For good measure, Twitter locked the Post—the oldest (over 220 years) continually published newspaper in the U.S.--out of its account just weeks before the 2020 election.
I went back and searched my personal email account for the word dementia. A friend sent me this article on 7/4/20 that included this paragraph: “The Democrat Party and their MSM propaganda arm are running an old man for President who is plainly suffering from dementia and lack of physical stamina. Public visibility and the rigor of public campaigning are anathema to his prospects. But pandemic-driven orders to stay home and wear masks fit rather perfectly as a reason to keep him at home.”
Back then, Trump would speak (at great length) at up to several large rallies per day, while Biden's handlers hid him in his basement. They would routinely “call it a day” by the early afternoon for the White House press corps, who I'm sure enjoyed the paid time off while they covered for their man. Seems like collusion to me, which ironically the media falsely and obsessively accused Trump of for several years.
On 8/22/20, a friend sent me this article about how an AI psychiatric diagnostic filter confirmed that Biden exhibited multiple dementia/early Alzheimer's patterns: “Joe Biden spoke at an event more than a month ago where he seemed lost and confused. He thought he heard rain but wasn’t sure, then he asked individuals in the press who were at the event to come in out of the rain. The event appeared to be indoors....the Democrat Party would never admit their candidate is senile.” If Trump had done that, would the media also not have reported it?
On 10/8/20, a friend emailed me: “At first I naively could not understand how or why the Democratic Party would nominate a man with dementia. Then I realized that they have been waiting for Mr. Magoo to come along and do whatever they want without question.... It’s perfect for them. Right out of a dystopian novel--we are living it.” Correct. The last five years have been a case of life imitating art (the movie Weekend at Bernie's), only Biden is still alive, which makes him like a (far more useful) marionette.
On 1/22/21—just after Biden took office—a friend sent me this story: “Video footage taken on Wednesday went viral today as viewers noticed that when President Joe Biden was walking into the Capitol on Inauguration Day, he robotically stated aloud, 'Salute the Marines' instead of actually saluting them. The awkward interaction appears to have been prompted by someone communicating with Biden via earpiece, which has become a staple of the 78-year-old Biden’s public appearances due to numerous gaffes and instances of erratic behavior. Biden clearly needed to be reminded to salute the Marines, as he did not end up doing so, but experts have surmised that the newly elected President is so used to repeating words and phrases given to him through an earpiece that he took the command 'Salute the Marines' as a line to recite.” So it appears that from the very beginning of his presidency, Joe has been a programmable, talking doll. Call him Government Issue Joe.
The fact that Biden apparently received multiple jabs of the COVID-19 gene therapy “vaccine” probably didn't help his mental condition. On 10/7/21, a friend sent me a link to the study “Covid-19 RNA-Based Vaccines and the Risk of Prion Disease,” which concluded that RNA vaccines may cause ALS, frontotemporal lobar degeneration, Alzheimer’s disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) and other neurological degenerative diseases. Some of the symptoms of CJD include stroke-like symptoms, difficulty speaking, confusion, odd movements, emotional changes, a sharp loss of cognitive function and personality changes.
Starting on 11/16/22, I had the following exchange with a friend via email:
Friend: “I've told my wife that come this Jan., the D’s are going to boot ol’ Joe, mark my words.”
Me: “Any day now you'll start seeing stories in the legacy media about how Joe seems to have dementia now, and it may be time to A25 him.”
Friend: “Absolutely. They’re going to send him back to Delaware very soon. Let’s watch for the first 'news' item about it ... prob come from the lib news first.”
Me: “I'm going to set up an email alert. Look for it on CNN.” [Looks like the colluding media—which at a minimum were derelict in their professional duty--is now trying to blame it on a few of Biden's closest advisors. I guess the media was in the dark, too!]
Me: “Also, he will use dementia as a reason why he can't remember any of his crimes, and as a reason why he can't stand trial. It would be elder abuse or picking on a disabled person.” [This has already happened, in a roundabout way. A special counsel recommended that Biden not be charged with any crimes for mishandling classified documents because a jury may well view him as “an elderly man with poor memory.”]
On 1/25/23, I emailed my friend: “I'm deleting my 'Biden dementia' alert because I was getting way too many hits every day. It's now obvious that the long knives are out for him by people in his own party.”
Now we suddenly find out that a Parkinson's disease specialist from Walter Reed Medical Center visited the White House at least nine times in the last year. Did this information just now become available? Ronny Jackson—the White House physician for both Obama and Trump and now a Congressman—who has warned about Biden's cognitive decline for years, said, “I believe [Biden White House physician Kevin O'Connor] and Jill Biden have led the cover up. Kevin O’Connor is like a son to Jill Biden — she loves him. It’s crazy. Kevin O’Connor was in that job on day one of the Biden administration because they knew they could trust Kevin to say and do anything that needed to be said or done and cover up whatever needed to be covered up. He is part of the Biden family.”
The author of the article “We Were Deceived & Gaslit For Years, All In The Name Of 'Democracy'; Then 'Poof', It Collapsed Overnight” writes that the Democrats “evidently thought they could get away with promoting [the fiction of Joe's fitness]....You don’t get to deceive, dissemble and gaslight us for years about how this man was both brilliantly competent at the job...and now tell us, when your deception is uncovered, that it’s ‘bedtime for Bonzo’.”
The article continues, “Unelected advisers, party hacks, scheming family members and random hangers-on make the critical daily decisions” on these issues. One senior administration official said, “He doesn’t take advice from anyone other than those few top aides, and it becomes a perfect storm because he just gets more and more isolated....I’ve been told for months that Biden is simply ‘no longer there’....The number of people who have access to the president has gotten smaller and smaller and smaller. They’ve been digging deeper into the bunker for months now....The more you get into the bunker, the less you listen to anyone.”
In Lackluster's Last Stand, QTR writes, “Behold: the cruel, poignant irony of a man who spent his formative political years arguing that a deep state didn’t exist, now learning firsthand that it does, that it is in charge, and that it will try to destroy you just like anyone else if you get in its way....if the entire Democratic machine—the same one that unilaterally kicked Bernie Sanders out of the race in 2016—wants Biden out, he's going to be out. And it doesn't matter what anyone else wants....If Democrats hadn’t spent the last 2 years lying to the public and themselves about Biden, they wouldn’t be stuck in this mess 5 months before the election. But now they’re reaping what they’ve sown and, for me, there’s a special feeling in watching them finally have to choke on the political shitburger they’ve been feeding the rest of the country for the last 2 years. Bon appetite!”
Shockingly, a few in the media are doubling down on the remote control of Biden's body. One MSNBC host called for Biden aides to be allowed on stage with him at the next debate, saying it would be good to “Allow the candidates to have as many staff as they want, join them on the stage throughout the debate, and make sure that all of them have microphones....the candidates should be allowed to turn to their staff and confer with them about anything at any time....We could watch the candidates actually think and process information, including possibly information that they might not know until a staff member tells them or reminds them. A candidate should be allowed to let staff members actually answer questions for them.” Great idea! How about a puzzle on a table if a candidate wants to work on it, some Jell-O if they get hungry, and a cot if they'd like to take a nap?
In recent years, we've heard quite a bit of worry from the legacy media and some statist pundits about the threat posed to “our democracy” by AI (e.g., deep fakes, etc.). Now a Huffington Post writer has suggested that the Biden campaign should consider using AI to dupe Americans into voting for him: He “began by noting that 'the stakes' of the election 'cannot be overstated' because the future of democracy 'hangs in the balance,'....As a result, the ends justified the means, even if that entailed...gaslighting low-information voters into thinking Biden is fitter and healthier than he is, but with additional assistance from AI to more 'effectively reach the voting public'....While admitting that using AI to present a smoother, more well-spoken Biden could be deceptive, [he] ultimately concluded that such deception would be worthwhile if it led to a Biden victory.”
Yes, in order to “save our democracy,” we have to lie to the voters. When you believe that Trump is literally Hitler (as The New Republic's cover story said), you obviously have to do whatever it takes to stop him.
Democrats and the media brought this on themselves. They never really had a presidential primary that would have tested and vetted Biden and made him stronger, even though there were three other viable candidates, including RFK Jr. and Congressman Dean Phillips. RFK was over the target (Big Pharma and the Military/Intelligence Industrial Complex) perhaps more than any other candidate in the race, so there was no way the DNC would allow him to win. I don't know anything about Phillips, but he seemed like a youthful, normal guy and surely couldn't have been worse.
For years, the White House press corps went along with a charade where they submitted written questions well in advance, and Biden would be given cheat sheets that had the name and photo of each reporter, the question they would ask, and the answer he was supposed to deliver. It was all a staged show. At public events, Biden would have very detailed yet very simple instructions about what he was supposed to do at each step (e.g., “YOU sit down in YOUR chair.”).
Mish Shedlock writes that Democrats Got Their Dream Wish, Now They Have to Live With It: “So, here we are. Biden got his wish that nearly all Democrats now regret. The DNC went along, greasing the wheels for a renomination and eliminating debate despite (or was it because of) the President’s increasingly obvious senility. Judging from a recent cornucopia of posts [in the media], Democrats have a new wish, for Biden to step down. Sorry, the wish fairy only grants one political wish. It’s now up to Jill or Hunter to convince Joe to stand down. That does not look promising now. However, there’s a decent chance the President soon will not be able to walk or say anything coherent even in the newly designated prime hours of 9:00AM to 4:00PM. Yet, the longer the delay, the worse it looks. There is not a reasonable person on the planet who believes Biden can last another year, let alone four more years. Effectively, the new battle cry is 'Four More Months!' Democrats got what they deserve.”
Now it seems the Dems are between an irresistible force (statists with Trump Derangement Syndrome desperate to beat him and Dem elected officials desperate to cling to power) and an immovable object (Jill Biden's ego and the Biden crime family's high maintenance lifestyle). Joe told the story about why Jill earned a degree in education (via a correspondence course): The mail that came to their house was addressed to “Senator Joe Biden and Jill Biden.” She wanted a title to go with her name, so now she's “Doctor” Jill. On the TV show The View, Whoopi Goldberg suggested that Jill should become the Surgeon General because she's “a hell of a doctor, an amazing doctor.” I agree, Hoopi!
Also, I'm sure Hunter (and other family hangers-on) appreciates the overseas business opportunities that just happen to come his way (when he's not snorting coke off of the bodies of hookers), the strong demand for his artwork, and the fact that “the Big Guy” has the power to hand out Get Out of Jail Free cards.
You know, the supreme irony here is that immediately after the moderators of the debate solemnly and persistently asked Trump if he would accept the results of the election, many Democrats suddenly didn't want to accept the results of their own primary! For the last 3.5 years, we heard ad nauseam about the “insurrection” on January 6 and how Trump “sough to overturn the results of the election”; he was even prosecuted for it. Now the Democrats are trying to do the same thing, only before the election even happens.
What seems to be the deciding factor about whether Biden should remain in the race is not his mental and physical fitness for the job, but whether he can beat Trump. Both the anti-Biden “insurrectionists” and the White House are openly running polls to see which candidate would have the best odds of beating Trump. Forget about who Democrats voted for in the presidential primaries, or the two thirds of the delegates who are bound to support Biden at the convention. Democrats want a mulligan before they've even hit the ball. The more I read about this smoldering dumpster fire, the more it smells like a coup.
Finally, I watched Biden's speech at the end of the NATO summit and soldiered through his hourlong press conference (his first in eight months) after that, which would be a lot in one day for someone of any age. I think he performed quite well, though who knows if he was jacked up on anything. Although I believe he has dementia to some degree--and has had for years--I also think the media and power-hungry schemers in the Democrat Party are blowing it way out of proportion as part of an attempted coup.
Currently Kamala is the odds-on favorite to replace him, but I predict there will be a deus ex machina at the Democratic convention in August that will make the deep thinkers on Ellen and The View wet their pants.

I almost mentioned one possible side effect of RNA-based vaccines like the one for COVID-19: "The Mayo Clinic says CJD--the disease caused by prions--is 100% fatal and has no treatment. It all ends in death. Once the prion symptoms are evident, it’s already too late. There is no treatment and no reversal possible."
IMHO the Democrats only have one chance of generating the conditions required to be able to provide the appearance of legitimacy when fixing the vote count: Joe’s timely death. Using the 25th Amendment is too bad of a look as Biden remains as a reminder of Democrat incompetence and skullduggery. But if Joe dies, then the media/campaign propagandists can play on the sympathy of “the people” by way of a massive media blitz lionizing his lifetime of service focusing on his “accomplishments” and allowing Kamala to remain low-key, look busy and in the background at the same time.
The funeral-wake-celebration of life will last for weeks and even months up until the election as world leaders come from around the world to pay their respects with Kamala playing hostess and “looking Presidential” while making inane speeches about Americans coming together. This way Joe can be an asset as Kamala runs for “re-election as the first woman (of color) President” while making Trump look and sound “mean” for criticizing Joe and/or Kamala. All this sympathy and funeral hoopla buries Joe’s corruption, incompetence, senility, etc. while reinvigorating the base and gathering many independents to jump on the bandwagon, at least enough, again, to be able to make the election close enough to steal for Kamala.
The only question is how to take Biden out. Either a full-blown false flag insurrectiony assassination by a “right-wing MAGA nut case” (lone shooter of course) inspired by “Trump’s rhetoric”, a COVID/Bird Flu “we’re all in danger!” look what it did to Joe psyops, or just peaceful natural causes. It depends on how desperate they are, but I think the natural causes/injection will be the most believable and likely, but they could go all-in with more drama to install a dictatorship with one of the former two casus bellis.
I don’t think the Deep State hacks will assassinate Trump as it would likely make him more popular, and maybe even still win the election as a martyr write-in vote and all hell breaks loose; too risky.
Or the power mad maniacs start World War III with nukes, but taking out Joe poses the least risk to the elite.
What a show. Timing is key. Do they do it next week to overshadow the RNC and give them plenty of time to build momentum for the DNC? Or wait for an "October Surprise"? Stay tuned.
