The cloak: “Not possible,” he says.

If you work around governments for any period of time, you’ll encounter a phenomenon that would be funny if the results weren’t so thoroughly tragic. Sometimes, it’s worse than you can guess, and what makes it all the more despicable is how frequently the public officials involved know precisely what they’re doing.  You see, most people innocently go about their lives giving real, creditable efforts at the things they’re paid to do. They may not attain or approach perfection, but for the money, they genuinely give you a solid best effort. This is infrequently the case in government, but they take it a step further.  Often, when they fail, they will claim it was a lack of knowledge, or a lack of money, or a lack of resources, or a lack of good intelligence.  Boiled-down to its lowest common denominator, what they’re telling you is:

“Hey, yeah, we’re incompetent, but what did you expect from a bunch of hacks who complain about not being paid market rates for inferior output? We’ll try harder next time. No, really, we will. We promise…”

As pathetic as that is, and while they use the claim of incompetence to shield themselves from the public’s wrath, there’s a one step more they often take, and it’s a giant leap of audacity that gives them this ability.  It’s not simply that they know they can claim incompetence when they fail, but that they set out intending to fail, using incompetence as a cloak for their malice aforethought.  No matter how basically incompetent you believe Joe Biden may be, or in his case, as I’ve contended, non compos mentis, it cannot be that the entirety of the United States Federal Government, the entire top tier of military leadership, the Congress, the State Department, the intelligence agencies, and the whole blooming lot of them are uniformly and unerringly incompetent.  Were they utterly incompetent, even accidentally, they’d get something right occasionally, but instead what we see is that from A to Z; from soup to nuts; from economics to foreign policy to military policy to spy-craft to virology, they get everything wrong, every time. Ladies and gentlemen, are we really going to fall for this again?  I can see when I’m being conned, and this is no different. Everything happening in Afghanistan today was entirely foreseeable, and indeed, it was foreseen by White House reporters just five weeks ago, on July 8th. If those people can see it, anybody can.

This is planned. They intend to use the shield of incompetence, but more importantly, it is a cloak for their motives. In fact, with the nature of the uncharacteristically blunt questions being posed by the media on the 8th of July, and the uniformity in the precision with which Biden was wrong, exactly wrong, on each and every point, this looks like the set-up to prove his incompetence.  Afterwards, Biden will be able to point back to this moment and proclaim his innocence on foreknowledge.  Nothing happening in this case has anything to do with accidental happenstance, or unlucky timing, or a failure of intelligence.  All of these outcomes were glaringly clear given the actions of Joe Biden’s seemingly hapless administration since January.  I’m going to make an accusation here, and it’s a serious one. I want you all to pay attention, because I’m calling people at the top of our government “traitors.” I mean it precisely.  These people are opening the door for Xi Jinping, and they’re going to let him run the tables in the Pacific, and pretty much any other damned place he likes.  The Taiwanese people must be trembling at this moment, because they’re in terrible danger, and the United States will do nothing to stop what’s coming.

This isn’t a matter of incompetence, as bad as that would be in and of itself.  This is a matter of grave infiltration of the American government. Our entire Department of Justice is corrupt, from top to bottom. The FBI is run by villains who serve political masters, or are on the take, or both.  Our intelligence agencies don’t work for us. They work to destroy us, distract us, and keep us baffled.  They do not serve the American people.  Our military serves political agenda now, along with vast global corporations. They’re looting this nation into oblivion, and you think this is about Republicans and Democrats.  True, Democrats make up most of the DC establishment, a.k.a. “the Swamp,” but not nearly all of it. At least half of your Republican representatives and at least eighty percent of your GOP senators are owned and operated for the interests of said fetid cesspool. Do you know how to tell? Oh sure, a few are saying a couple harsh things about Joe Biden today, but they’ve been watching this build to this crescendo all year, and the best part is that it isn’t finished yet. They said virtually nothing, and participated in the looting besides. “Infrastructure,” anybody?

I won’t assert to you that there’s no incompetence in government. Washington DC is filled with legions of the incompetent, but it’s also brimming with malice, and that malice is aimed at you. The other universal characteristic of the denizens of the Swamp is that in addition to viewing you with contempt, they all believe they’re smarter than all of us. They all believe they’re so much more clever, but the truth is another thing.  Take away their control of the reins of power, and remove from them the ability to confound investigations and hide evidence, and you’d quickly discover how dumb these people really are.  They aren’t evil geniuses.  They’re brutes who hold power. For now. They use incompetence as a cloak for their wickedness, and they hide their wrongdoings behind it.  It’s akin to Hillary’s “I don’t recall” defense.  It seems clever, and it’s another use of incompetence as a cloak for misdeeds. Don’t fall for it. Don’t let your representatives get away with it, or offer to others. Don’t let the media pretend to you that it’s all an accident. It’s all just a big bungle, they’ll insist. Or, perhaps most galling, they’ll blame it on the alleged incompetence of the last guy. Do you see how this works? It’s a con. Open your eyes to the horror.  These people wanted a catastrophe in Afghanistan, or it never would have happened. Do you really believe a bunch of stone-age warriors, even handed modern weapons, can stand up to the combined might of the United States and all the resources it can call forth to employ? There is incompetence in the world, but frankly, we’ve heard this lie before. Over and over.

If we cannot reform this government by removing the traitors from control of it, we must abolish it. That’s really all that remains. We will either live as slaves to these demons veiled behind a curtain of alleged incompetence, or we will remove them and be free. That’s all there is.

Do not be surprised that this entire “fiasco” was designed to cover something else happening in the next several days or weeks. Durham? The Arizona audits? Other disclosures? They do these things for a reason. They don’t play the incompetence card this big unless there’s a serious purpose.
