I recently read an article in The Atlantic, by David Frum, titled, The Failing State Next Door (I.e. Mexico), and was gobsmacked by Frum’s inability or unwillingness, or both, to see the cesspool of corruption and the Failing State in which he resides, that is the United States of America, whilst accusing Mexico of the exact thing happening in the United States.
The hypocrisy that drips from Frum’s article can only be described as a manifestation of blindness of epic proportions. Frum, a person who possesses the objectivity of a gnat, is “concerned” about the failing democracy in Mexico whilst gleefully ignoring “the failing democracy in the United States.”
Might one suggest to Frum, and many others within his circle of deniers, that he/they are in no position, moral or otherwise, to lecture Mexicans about Frum’s “insincere” concern over his allegation of Mexico being a failing state.
Having said such, let’s take this opportunity to use Frum’s exact words, in many places in this retort article, thereby affirming why Frum would benefit from discarding his rose coloured glasses.
Note: My words will be designated by italics and Frum’s exact words will be all others.
Mexico’s President elect Claudia Sheinbaum‘s big foreign-policy crisis is waiting for her at her future desk: that is a northern neighbour, under the direction of Joe Biden, heading fast toward a failing state of authoritarianism and instability.
Over the past three and a half years, the USA’s autocratic president, Joe Biden, has sought to subvert the multiparty competitive democracy that his country has achieved since its initial establishment. Biden and cabal are undermining America’s democracy whenever and wherever they see or can create opportunity for such.
Biden has weakened, in conjunction with numerous states, election laws that guaranteed free and fair elections. He has encouraged and broken the law numerous times and disregarded the customs that limited the president’s power to use the state to favour his preferred candidates. He has undermined the independence of the judiciary.
American democracy is under attack from within, supported by a corrupt media, politicized judiciary and institutional political weaponization.
The present president of the United States is a clear and present danger to the entire world, especially his immediate northern and southern neighbours, who see a senile, doddering, cognitive challenged old man—who is definitely past his best before date.
Joe Biden and his cabal of marionette puppeteers are in the process of concentrating more power in the Democratic party than any other American government has wielded since the days of British rule.
Biden’s presumed successor in the presidency is Kamala Harris, formerly the Attorney General and Senator from California, who will be, if successful, the first woman to head the USA, the first feminist POC, the first from the far left to occupy the presidential office.
These “firsts” will generate much excitement internationally. They should not obscure, however, her most important qualification: her career-long subservience to Joe Biden and the marionette string pullers and the increasing numbers of the far left wing of the Democrat Party.
Of the candidates within the ruling Democrat party who vied for Biden and the marionettes’ favour, Harris is the one with the smallest and weakest following among Democrat rank and file.
Harris got the nod not because Biden and the marionettes wanted a pathbreaker, but because they wanted someone they could control after his mandatory departure from office at the end of his second term.
Biden and the marionettes have built mechanisms to maintain their grip on American politics, some of these mechanisms are ballot harvesting, mail in ballots, no ID requirement voting, using Lawfare to remove challengers, illegal immigration, media corruption, Social Media censorship, etc.!!!
When interviewing Harris one will quickly find her not of striking intelligence and lacking in the people-pleasing ways of a professional politician. Most strikingly, she repeats virtually every dogma of Biden and the marionettes’ ideology, without a millimetre of distancing to be observed (I.e.):
—The open border is good;
— The election Hilary Clinton lost was stolen;
— The Covid-19 injections are safe and effective;
— The war in the Ukraine was and is caused by Russia intransigence;
— The state of Israel is on stolen lands;
— The Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation;
— Joe Biden and his family are not corrupt;
— Climate Change is an existential threat;
— The oil industry is a scourge on the planet;
— Democrats are not only entitled but obligated to rule American;
—ETC.!!!
Joe Biden repeatedly, one can envision, describes the 2028 election not as a choice among candidates, but as a referendum on his record. He is willing to use every instrument of the state, legal and illegal, to win that referendum.
The most important of those instruments is the selective deployment of violence through BLM, violent campus demonstrations, illegal immigration, defunding the police, no bail but immediate release, illegal drug tolerance, proxy wars, etc.!!
The eight (8) years of the Biden and the marionettes’ presidency have been the most violent of USA modern history. They have provided and continue to provide the fuel to feed this violence whilst denying their aiding and abetting.
We cannot know the exact number of those who died or were killed in this violence, because Biden and the marionettes destroyed the independence and credibility of the national statistical agency by ensuring that Covid-19 numbers, deaths, injuries and associated maiming were suppressed and often destroyed.
Crime numbers are now often tampered with for political purposes. Consequently, the formulation of proper policy to effectively deal with such challenges is made extremely difficult, if not impossible.
But a credible estimate of ANNUAL deaths in the USA suggests that Americans die, if not violently certainly unacceptably, from more than 21,000 homicides, 108,000 drug overdoses, 900,000 abortions, 250,000 medical error deaths and upwards of greater than 300,000 plus Americans have died from Covid-19 injections in each year of the Biden and marionettes rule.
To be clear, most of the USA killings are not the result of personal disputes or casual street violence. The USA is under attack from what has aptly been called a “criminal insurgency.”
U.S. officials have long privately warned that the USA state is losing control of its national territory from such criminality, something that is extremely worrisome to its northern and southern neighbours, as well as the rest of the world..
When the USA security forces clash with a criminal syndicate, they can still win—but typically at terrible cost to American society.
What this means for the USA democracy is very stark: politicians and journalists, ironically and in particular, prosper and become enriched and those who object are banished to the hinterland based on whether they are seen as a danger to the Administrative state.
Biden and the marionettes’ relationship with Big Pharma, Climate Change and the military cartels is very murky and worrisome. One can safely conclude that these cartels have directed millions of dollars in donations to the Biden campaign and amassed great political influence as the result.
Of course, Biden indignantly denies these donations and demands an apology from those who made this assessment.
There’s no denying that Biden and the marionettes have close personal relationships with these very influential and often times unsavoury people.
Biden came to power in 2020 with a very suspect mandate that he won in a free and fair election. Biden came to power via an election that was supposedly free but not so fair. This taint has followed the Biden Administration for its entirety and the capacity of the Biden Administration to influence others in the world, by moral suasion, has been negatively impacted and reduced immensely as a result of this taint.
Because Biden lacks Obama’s charisma and popular appeal, his and Harris’ survival will depend on whether they can tilt the rules even more radically in favour of the Democrat party. If recent history is an indicator, one can conclude, with great confidence, that the degree to which they will use this tilting is not a concern with which they focus much energy nor attention, as to acceptable limitation.
In Biden and Harris’s campaign speeches, Biden and the marionettes committed to a highly contradictory program to please all political factions. Such commitment deserted almost immediately upon entering office.
Biden and the marionettes vowed more welfare spending, but also more fiscal discipline. They promised to respect the independence of the central bank while remaining faithful to the vision of consolidated power. Again, little proof exist to suggest such a promise kept.
Biden and the marionettes expressed desire for warm relations with their neighbours, Canada and Mexico, but immediately upon entering office undertook measures to punish both neighbouring countries economically.
A United States of America that is losing its democracy will also continue to lose authority to the cabal of corrupt syndicates. For America’s Neighbours, the big question is: How much authority can the United States of America lose before it fails altogether?
The fundamental paradox of American society is this: The presidency is becoming too strong; the Congress and states are becoming too weak. Biden and the marionettes aggrandize the presidency still more and thus weakened Congress and the states even more.
Now this powerful presidency will be occupied, if Harris ever becomes president, by a protégée beholden to Biden and the marionettes who aspire to control everything from behind the scenes. The inevitable impending power struggle between them can only work to the advantage of the forces of criminality and chaos that, by extension and influence, threaten to consume America’s northern and southern neighbours.
