The Collapse Of American Legitimacy
We are currently in the throes of what appears to be the worst American foreign policy disaster in decades. The Afghani fairy tale we were span for decades lies in decadence and ruin. We have an American President who is AWOL and whom some are speculating lacks the cognisance to address the issue at hand. At the root of the problem is a comfort that America has had with corruption in its own ranks. Corruption that has gone unchecked for years. Rather than bad and incompetent actors being weeded out they were rewarded and celebrated in America’s corporate press as heroes. While many have been quick to lay blame at the feet of Mr. Biden, I suspect that this may have not been his doing, at least not entirely. Some have long suspected that he never really was in charge from the beginning. America’s colossal failure in Afghanistan was two decades in the making. I suspect that there are plenty of skeletons to unearth and webs of lies to untangle. I’m willing to wager that at the centre of this quagmire of deception lies a corrupt cabal of bureaucrats, lobbyists and other special interests who have been pulling the strings behind the scenes. Mr. Biden their puppet, the world their stage and American greatness the curtain raiser to this doomed spectacle. For months since Mr. Biden was declared as the Democrat front runner for President, questions about his mental competence clang to him like a shadow. American corporate media houses did their best to show him in the best possible light and to spin away his gaffes as a speech impediment. However, it was clear that something wasn’t right with him. CNN, undoubtedly America’s most widely recognised media house, allegedly orchestrated their pieces to camera of him to show him off in a heroic light. A saviour of sorts compared to the monster they had created out of one Donald J. Trump. Many in America believed the lies of a mainstream media propping up a lifeless dummy even though the puppeteers were often in plain sight. This wasn’t a real boy, no amount of Pinocchios the media gave to Trump would have magicked life into this farce. It now appears that this farce is coming apart at the seams.

Jenna Ellis, former senior legal advisor to President Trump, recently pointed out that lawless elections have consequences. What we are experiencing in Afghanistan at this moment is one of these consequences. Americans have a disposable President who in spite of being propped up by a political establishment and America’s corrupt media is flailing. A lame duck lying motionless in international waters. The politicians in Washington have failed their constituents time and time again yet somehow always seem to be able to hang on to power. Portions of America’s corporate media machine still manage to persuade and convince many in spite of having been caught in lie after lie. Their partisan, sometimes bought and paid for opinions, championed by the corrupt politicians they prop up. We have been treated to a dance of minstrels as they hopped on from one made up hoax to the other one in a need to satiate viewers and readers who had a voracious appetite for manufactured nonsense and a severe case of confirmation bias. When The Washington Post published reports now known as the Afghanistan Papers our gaze had been forcefully drawn to a dog and pony show known as Impeachment Hoax #1. We have had an American main stream media that went rogue years ago and in a dereliction of duty abandoned its core purpose, to act as a watchdog. In stead the media turned into guard dogs for their preferred political candidates.
By omission they kept Mr. Biden’s secret safe from a significant portion of the American public. A secret they have harboured deep into his now catastrophic Presidency. Only sections of the population knew that Mr. Biden was compromised beyond belief due to his questionable past associations.

The Hunter Biden laptop fiasco should have sunk Mr. Biden’s chances of ascending to the White House bar any shenanigans. His constant lapses in cognisance could have perhaps stirred awake even the worst TDS sufferers and maybe even cured them of their delirium. In stead, members of America’s corporate media decided to play guard dog to Mr. Biden. By omission they kept Mr. Biden’s secret safe from a significant portion of the American public. A secret they have harboured deep into his now catastrophic Presidency. Only sections of the population knew that Mr. Biden was compromised beyond belief due to his questionable past associations. The laptop brought some of this to light yet we watched as congressman Adam Schiff(D-California) trooped onto CNN to rehash what seemed like well rehearsed lines. He mouthed off some nonsense about Russia and received no significant pushback from the anchors. When the story about the laptop was indeed verified to be true there we no mea culpas are much acknowledgement from many in the corporate media. Their deafening silence had served its purpose, to have a Biden Presidency. This is a Presidency that was built ground up on a lie if not many lies. The problem with stacking a house of cards is that it ultimately collapses in on itself.
America’s current Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken has done nothing but virtue signal the administration’s woke ambitions for the American people and the world at large. A policy that has never been successful and one that is about to cost America and by extension the rest of the world dearly. So far, secretary Blinken’s tenure has been one marred by one failure after the other. In his first outing, a Chinese delegation scored cheap moral victories by vilifying America. An easy feat to accomplish due to the current administration’s self flagellation on the global stage. American military brass have been keen to engage in petty twitter squabbles for cheap political points rather than assure America and their allies of the capabilities. Under the previous administration the policy was very clear cut, peace through strength. During a Capitol Hill session earlier this year, General Milley re-affirmed the current administrations agenda of being woke beyond belief. He coined the term ‘White Rage.’ A term that may have granted him superstar status amongst sections of America’s populace but signalled the spread of a corrupting disease within the ranks of the World’s most powerful military. Incompetence, potential corruption and deceit. In December 2019, the release of the Afghani Papers via FOIA request by The Washington Post revealed what seems to have been an open secret for years. Afghanistan was a failed and failing project. Plans for withdrawal should have been drawn up months prior per the last administration’s wishes. It now seems that the Generals and perhaps other military brass held out as they were hoping for a longer occupation of Afghani territory. A move that is deeply unpopular amongst Americans save for the warmongers in elected office. America’s military has gone from being feared and respected to being the butt of jokes and memes the world over.

In my opinion, what has just transpired in Afghanistan should be enough to bury the Biden Presidency. No one should walk away from this unscathed. If he does have the cognisance, he should resign. If not, he should be swiftly impeached. This catastrophic failure will harm the people the American mission in Afghanistan originally hoped to help. The world is reeling from what seems like a sudden failure. In reality, this was one decades in the making. Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo only weeks prior had warned of the dangers of a disorderly retreat from Afghanistan. The Trump Administration had drawn up plans that were allegedly left by the way side. As Biden remains oddly quiet during this time of crisis, a new America has to rise from the ashes of this global humiliation. An America that will hold corrupt politicians and bureaucrats accountable for their mismanagement and failures. The Biden administration has made a mockery of Americans by courting failure at every possible turn and should not be rewarded by a stay of execution. The corporate media that aided his ascendency to the White House should not escape judgement either. American lawmakers, regardless of political affiliation need to use this moment to weed out the traitors in their midst. The American generals who facilitated this failure need to be ousted and brought to account. There needs to be a commission. This has been a betrayal decades in the making. A betrayal to the American & Allied soldiers who lost their lives fighting for a doomed course. A betrayal to the Afghani people who deserve a chance to enjoy the benefits of being a free people. Free from tyranny. Free to live in peace and harmony.
