The Conspiracy of Silence to Protect Joe Biden: The president’s mental decline was like a dark family secret for many elite supporters
  • We’re talking about an entire complex network of political and business elites who have been granted access to power, influence and wealth by the Bidens, from the Delaware-based financial companies, to the Zionist lobbyists, to the military industrial complexes who benefited from Biden’s championing of the Iraq War.

    Joe Biden is old and senile, but if he goes down the pillars that have been delicately supporting the entire structure of the elite network would be in jeopardy, not to mention internal strife and power vacuum within the Democratic Party.

    It is too late for another primary now (which is when all this bargaining for political favors with the candidates took place), and there is no way to swap him out because people have already paid the campaign (through campaign fundraising) expecting favors in return of their investments, and they do not want to see all that go down in drain. Everyone’s in the same boat and do or die together.

  • This is why they have been propping up Hunter so much. Hunter’s the one to persuade Joe to stay in the race. Hunter’s been attending White House meetings with Joe.

    The message is clear: “Even if the president’s cognitive ability has declined, Hunter will be there to make sure that all promises made by the Bidens will be fulfilled. Do not worry about the money you have spent on us, the Bidens always keep their words.”

    The bourgeoisie are worried about Biden’s senility and would jeopardize the political favors they had spent a fortune on, and Hunter’s there to make sure that the words of the House of Biden will be kept no matter what.

  • How could the (electoral) left deal with anti-immigrant sentiment?
  • Anti-imperialism.

    Stop wrecking other people’s countries so they don’t have to migrate to the Imperial Core as economic migrants and maybe it will be people from the white countries, now deprived of their colonial exploits, who have to look to migrate to the Global South to seek economic opportunities.

  • There is one way Biden could salvage this debate
  • In 2004, former Taiwanese President Chen Shui-bian who was losing in the polls had an assassination attempt on him, took a bullet to the stomach and it was enough to carry him over the finish line.

    It has been widely speculated that the assassination attempt was a false flag planned to garner sympathy. The Bidens could think about something similar along the line before the November election.

    So MAGA gun nut, national sensation, we must defend our democracy against Trump and his deranged supporters.

  • He’s not going away. You have to think of it as a criminal organization. Biden is not just some figurehead, the Biden family is a brand with its complex network of political and business elites. Even Obama who has retired cannot escape from it, he is still owned by the Wall St elites who now demand that he makes phone calls to his connections and tells them to toe the line.

    The primary which never really happened except with a few fringe candidates is a process that allows the brokering and bargaining of these money connections with the presidential nominee. Now it is too late, nobody else except for Hillary Clinton has the political ties deep enough that could match Biden’s, but it is unlikely that the Clintons today have nearly as much political capital as Biden, because of Ukraine.

    The fact is that way too much interests have been tied into the Biden presidency, especially with Ukraine being his “masterpiece” involving hundreds of billions of dollars, a lot of people are going to lose their money if the tap is suddenly turned off. They have spent a lot of fortune on “donations” to get their premium seats and access to the tap, and they’re going to be really pissed if they lose the treats they were promised.

    The problem of the bourgeoisie with Biden is his senility, but at the end of the day, losing the election is nowhere near as important as maintaining this delicate balance of interests of the political and business elites that own the Democratic Party.

    So, the debate will be memory-holed and everyone will just pretend like nothing bad has happened by July 4th. The dissenters (if they were stupid enough to make the noise) would be purged from the power center. Meanwhile, the political machinations of the country will work behind the scene to ensure that Biden gets elected on November.

  • Tankies at the Cremlin News Network will have you think Joe Biden is unfit for presidency and Americans don’t support him, but the numbers say otherwise.
  • I think you underestimated the number of Bernie Sanders supporters who were exiled to r/cth and are not American.

    While it is true the vast majority are Americans, lots of people who phonebanked for Bernie during the 2015 primary campaign were not American, have never been to America, and probably aren’t even English native speakers. (And no we weren’t Russians lol)

  • who is the best option to replace Biden that could realistically have a chance? and who would be the funniest/worst option, and why will that most certainly happen?
  • The funniest outcome is that most of you have seriously overestimated the memory retention capacity of your average American and Biden’s atrocious debate performance will be forgotten by July 4th, and everyone will look at you funny like “wtf are you talking about” when you try to remind them of the debate.

  • The Fed’s “Chicken Run”: Why Sticking with High Rates Will Crash the Economy
  • It is not so simple….

    The 5% interest rate actually resulted in huge interest income payment (est. $0.8-1T in 2023), and although much of the money went to the rich, clearly the money had been spent as well as consumption index did not continued to rise.

    The problem? The US federal budget deficit was $1.7T last year, which means that nearly 50% of its deficit spending in 2023 was sustained by the interest payment from high interest rates. This means that if the US starts cutting rate, it’s going to end up with less income payment, less deficit, less money for consumption, and driving the economy into recession.

    There is no easy way out. The monetary policy is in a quandary that has no solution. Keeping the rates high is a ticking time bomb for a financial crash (we don’t know when though, but the risk persists), but lowering the rates without also compensating for an increase in deficit spending through other means will also drive the economy into recession.

    There is also another dimension that a lot of these analyses don’t take into account, which is the impact of high Fed rates on the rest of the world. The number of Global South countries under severe economic distress has gone way up since the US hikes its interest rates, compounded by Covid disruption immediately prior. Many countries are running out of dollars and they are looking for a way out, but since there hasn’t been any alternative (there is nothing coming out of the BRICS+ front), everyone still has to earn dollars to dig a way out.

    So they will keep exporting to the US, as cheaply as possible, in hopes of surviving the next wave of economic hardship. In effect, the US gets to export its inflation to the rest of the world. And the prices are not really coming down domestically because of energy prices and monopolists wanting to rake in more profit by keeping their prices inflated.

  • We're boned
  • Hexbears please tell me which of the following scenarios is more likely:

    The President - also the High Priest of the Neoliberal sect - has been subjected to an occult ritual to become the Vessel for the Dark God of Capital, which takes an unknown form residing within the flesh of the President. In the evening, the entity leaves the flesh and returns to its Temple, as it finds the frail body of the President a harsh condition for long-term habitation.

    The President is senile.

  • As others have said, there is no such thing as a comprehensive nuclear defense system. Everyone is vulnerable.

    The real question is how would the opposite side react? The MAD deterrence has never been broken. This is truly uncharted territory.

    Let’s say the US (through the Ukrainian Armed Forces) uses a low yield nuke on a village in Russia-occupied Ukraine. 10 people are killed. How would Russia respond? Unload the rest of its nuclear arsenals against American cities? Retaliate against an American village? How would things escalate from there? I don’t think anybody can predict what would happen, which is what makes the entire scenario so scary.

    But one thing for sure is that the world is going to change overnight. Its significance would likely exceed 9/11, when everyone would be so shocked that they could still recall what they were doing at the very moment the news came on even decades later.
