Biden's Toxic Culture of Brinkmanship
Biden's Toxic Culture of Brinkmanship
Biden is the ghost of John Foster Dulles praising the toxic culture of brinkmanship, as the curtain is closing, the lights dimming, and the world has moved on.
“We are living in a collective West where imbecilic elites live in their invincible present where there are no consequences to their moronic beliefs, policies, wars and corruptions. They have amassed so much power and money they see themselves as gods with impunity to the destruction they sow and the natural law that rules us all. They have a well developed contempt for those they are supposed to serve and their betrayal is manifest. The revolution is past due.”—author

When Joe Biden made the above statement in 1972 he like many politicians before him was declaring himself in the camp of the anti-imperialists who supported the original goals of the Republic and its constitution. Mark Twain as one of America’s most ardent anti-imperialists would be encouraged by Biden’s choice.
America would be a very different country today if it had chosen Mark Twain as its national icon instead of the Philistinic Uncle Sam. Mark Twain was one of the greatest Americans ever as he tried to save his country from the war mongering imperialists who came to dominate and bring the country to its present wreck and ruin. A story that is there for all to read and understand but the traitors have effectively burned the books and the country is left morally, intellectually, and spiritually destitute.
Realities, have stories to tell, history to be told, so easily lobotomized.
Joe Biden has been in politics for over 50 years, that is half a century. The case can easily be made that is too long for any politician to be active, especially in his case where the signs of wear and tear are so evident, and the consequences of his incompetence so very profound.
There is the false notion the president of the USA is the most powerful political office on earth. This is no longer the case as the office of president has been diminished as they are no more than puppets to the secreted the agencies and ideologues controlling them. The office of president becomes a weapon of mass distraction while the actual levers of power lie else where in the system. Presidents, prime ministers, and chancellors of the collective West are mere window dressing for the secreted power brokers calling the shots. They are captive to the vested interests they serve while scorning the populations they are mandated to serve.
It is so blazingly apparent that as the multipolar world emerges the US presidency does not have the exclusive franchise it had in the unipolar world it once dominated. Power sharing and global rapprochement are essential issues the world must face. Perpetual war at this point in our history leads to destruction for all, and is absolutely Pyrrhic for the planet.
As an aspiring Senator, Biden made his statement three years before the end of the 20 year Vietnam war 1955-1975. His statement was well tuned to the times as the Vietnam war was deeply unpopular and opposing the war was a sure ticket for being elected.
Over fifty years later, as a doddering president, he has completely reversed his position where he becomes a vacuous cheerleader for WW lll. He appears as a president in perpetual abdication where his only allegiance is to the Military Industrial-Congressional Complex (MICC) and its agenda of perpetual war on the world in the delusional pursuit of American primacy. After decades of war and treachery he wants to be the president who succeeds in winning the war on the world long since lost as the empire, like all empires, has fallen victim to its corruptions and self-inflicted failures.
Given this complete reversal is it fair to conclude that his entire career has never been about leadership but merely a toady of the prevailing status quo? Going into politics is like joining a cult where personal integrity and ideals are sacrificed for the sake of gaining power and serving vested interests. The pack mentality prevails and the corridors of power become a petri dish for cultures toxic to the nation’s constitution and future prospects.
One of those toxic cultures is brinkmanship. Brinkmanship is a term coined by none other than the sinister John Foster Dulles a former US Secretary of State(1953-59). He and his brother brother Allan were chief architects of the Cold War. Present day US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken is a clone of his predecessor.
Brinkmanship for Dulles was to constantly intimidate foreign countries with threats up to and including open warfare if they did not comply with the dictates of US foreign policy. Integral to the game of brinkmanship was for the USA to establish a global network of military bases where the threat of immediate invasion is ever present. A function of NATO is the enforcer operating as cover for American imperialist aggressions, ranging from Serbia, Iraq, to Libya, Afghanistan, and now Ukraine has been sacrificed as a proxy for imperialist aggression against Russia. From Korea to present day Ukraine the empire has fought its imperialist wars losing every one of them. Never as just causes but the crazed caprice of war mongering ideologues who want to win global supremacy without regard for consequences or geopolitical reality.
Biden, like presidents before him, is the puppet to his neocon masters playing a reckless game of brinkmanship trying to dupe both Russia and China into open warfare, which neither country wants. Washington in a last desperate attempt to save its global extortion racket sees war as the only option for survival when more war will only accelerate it precipitous decline. Where it has claimed an exclusive franchise on perpetual war the franchise is now morally an financially bankrupt. It is time for America to start reconstruction; anything less is further destruction and global humiliation.
Biden is the ghost of John Foster Dulles endorsing the toxic culture of brinkmanship, as the curtain is closing, the lights dimming, and the world has moved on.
