President Joe Biden's Icarus Moment: When Democracy serves Demagoguery
President Joe Biden's Icarus Moment: When Democracy serves Demagoguery
Biden's "SUMMIT FOR DEMOCRACY" is just another dog and pony show trying to block the essential progressive change for the world at large.
Icarus-“(ɪkərəs, ˈaikər-) noun. 1. Also: Ikaros Classical Mythology. a youth who attempted to escape from Crete with wings of wax and feathers but flew so high that his wings melted from the heat of the sun, and he plunged to his death in the sea”.—Google

Biden’s foreign policy is the same old game of divide, conquer, plunder, pillage, insane brinkmanship and endless hypocrisy. All leading to his Icarus moment.
The one thing I have in common with Joe Biden is we are the same age. I am thankful it stops there. I can still climb mountains (with the occasional assistance of trekking poles). While I climb he and his cabal of war mongers see themselves as messianic gods. They rule from ragged mountain tops and see the world as theirs to manipulate and destroy at their leisure. While I try to stay grounded in the present and look to a more promising future; he and his minions are determined to destroy the present and the future, while trying to bury their criminal past. They are completely disconnected from the obligations they have to their country and the men, women, and children they are supposed to serve, —along with everybody else on Planet Earth.
We are seeing how unchecked power becomes messianic. Left unaccountable for decades, exercised with impunity, its practitioners become delusional gods, false prophets and agents of pure evil. They come to see themselves as they are untouchables, when they are parasitic lepers.
US presidents are among the world’s most powerful leaders. For this reason there is obvious concern who occupies this office. How much of the president’s power is actual or merely titular is open to debate. We do know from American history presidential powers are too easily usurped by powerful vested interests, powerful ideologues embedded within the government (both elected and unelected), and the overwhelming presence of the Military Industrial Congressional Complex(MICC) along with the Deep State.
It must be asked where does democracy fit into this complex matrix? It doesn’t.
Summit For Democracy
There is no country in the world less qualified to sponsor a summit on democracy as it is just one word in its vocabulary of lies and hypocrisies. As American historian Chalmers Johnson pointed out decades ago no country can be an empire and a democracy. In the 1950’s and 1960’s the USA transitioned from a tentative democracy to become a warfare state/empire which by definition cannot be a democracy. It passed the point of no return to embrace war, lies, deceptions and fascism as the essential components of empire building.
Democracy is reduced to nothing more than a catch-phrase for the US and its minions as it covers for a scathing imperialist agenda and its insane brinkmanship th keeping the world on the cusp of war and chaos. Its actual history is testimony to its contempt for democracy— especially since WW II. In its three hundred year history it has been at war some where in the world most of the time. It has intervened in the affairs of other countries more than any other in world history. Since the end of WW II it has been continuously at war against the world.
The worst mistakes we can make
History is fully loaded with revisionism manipulated by powerful elites to serve their despotism. The war mongers who claim to speak for democracy in these times are the false prophets using democracy as the smoke screen for their fascist pursuit of global hegemony. Empires can never state their actual their goals. These can only be achieved behind a facade of lies, deceptions and scapegoating.
One of the worst mistakes we can make is that the war mongers have anything resembling noble intentions or are promoting just causes. Their treacheries are revealed by none other than America’s historians. Never has factual historical record been more critical and more slandered by self-serving demonic elites. For this reason alone they must be impeached.
War is about many issues and revelation is one of the most important. The events of the last year have revealed conclusively that fascism was not defeated in 1945. It has spread from its prototypes in Germany and Italy to put deep roots in foreign countries around the world, notably in both the US and Europe. The demagogues of the West speak of democracy but are the agents of endless hypocrisy.
The wars the elites are now waging are against democracy and are contemptuous of the populations they are supposed to server. Consequently it is class warfare where populations are reduced to Neo-feudalist enclaves stripped of anything resembling democracy.
The naked vilification of China and Russia is no more than a smokescreen for the West’s hegemonic ambitions. The naked brinkmanship used to precipitate endless war is nothing less than a crime against all of humanity as it destabilizes the world at a time we require peace, civility and progress.
The wars being fought are not just about unipolarity vs multipolarity. They are also about the growing threat of world fascism and populations of the West are being led down the garden path just like the Germans and Italians were in the 1930’s.
As for Joe Biden, he is a swindler, another demagogue another tragic Icarus who has flown too close to the sun. Like too many presidents before him he is a vacuous cheerleader for endless war in free fall.
