John's Eclectic Topics Blog: Pride Cometh...

Pride comes before destruction, and an arrogant spirit before a fall. - Prov. 16:18 (CSB)

The cracks are already starting to show, and we haven't even made it to inauguration day.

After the brilliant execution of their presidential campaign's master strategy - that of successfully keeping Biden, the elder, safely away from public scrutiny through the summer and fall months - Biden's handlers found it increasingly difficult to continue their plan, post-election. Sequestering the old Biden away in his basement, safe from the reach of COVID and the occasional inquisitive journalist, was simply no longer feasible. Since the election, his protection-squad of staffers came up with a new technique: that of utilizing the most supportive hand-picked cheerleaders-slash-journalists to read pre-approved questions simple enough to be comprehended by even the most age-addled mind.(1)

But in anticipation that they cannot suppress every journalist, every time, their backup plan was to provide him with canned answers to damning questions. Such is what we have seen several times now when he was asked about the criminal investigations currently underway targeting his son Hunter and implicating Biden himself.(2)

Like all naughty children, hucksters, empty suit politicians, and other charlatans, when facing a question the response to which might put him in a poor light, there is always a dodge. In this case, it is much safer for the elderly Biden to answer a question he wasn't asked, than to answer the question people actually want an answer to.

At least twice in the past few weeks, in response to specific questions about the family's financial improprieties, the presumptive president-elect replied with the strangely detached answer that: "I'm proud of my son."(3) An answer that naturally leads one to wonder exactly what the elder Biden feels he needs to hide from the public with this non-sequitur, and begs the question of exactly which of his son Hunter's actual or alleged improprieties are the source of such intense pride.

Might it be those lucrative Ukrainian and Chinese business deals (with 10% set aside "for the big guy"), or the alleged federal tax evasion, perhaps it was his being so quickly drummed out of the military, maybe the repeated alcohol and drug abuse, or his refusal to pay child support for his out-of-wedlock progeny? Then again, based on the widely circulated photos from his abandoned laptop, it's probably his prowess in wielding a crack pipe. I mean, what father wouldn't be proud of that?

All this does lead one to ponder why most Americans are only now, at such a late stage, hearing about the nefarious activities of the Biden family crime syndicate. Post-election polls revealed that 17% of Biden voters would not have voted for him had they known about the multiple Biden family controversies - controversies largely suppressed or covered up by the unholy alliance of the DNC-controlled establishment media, big tech tyrants, and deep staters embedded in the Justice Department.(4)

That was the plan all along, of course.

With only a few exceptions, the entities that comprise what was once known as the mainstream media - and now primarily function as the propaganda arm of the Democratic National Committee - fully intended to keep the truth from voters in order to insure the anointing of their apparently successful, albeit failing, candidate. But despite the complicity of an establishment media, which staked the last and tattered remains of the garments of their credibility on Trump's defeat, I'm not confident their suppression strategy will forever hold off the occasional 'baying hound' journalist hiding among the ranks of media lapdogs.

Until that time, however, we may have to sit waiting patiently for the necessary critical examination of the extent to which our national security is threatened by the foreign influence-peddling, tax-dodging, child-support payment skipping, drug-using, alcohol-abusing, crackpipe sucking son of our soon-to-be-inaugurated leader. And if the 2020 Senate and 2022 House elections go as expected, we may get Senate committee hearings, special counsels, and perhaps even several years of phony impeachment proceedings designed to reinvigorate the fading memory of our Octogenarian-in-Chief and his family members regarding their barely arms-length business deals with the Chinese Communist party, wives of Russian bureaucrats, and Ukrainian energy companies.

If or when that happens, we may get just a brief glimpse of the secretive world surrounding the Biden Crime Family's dealings with a myriad of unsavory foreign actors, at least until the unholy trinity of big tech crony capitalists, Marxo-Orwellian academic elite, and Democrat sock-puppet media propagandists either shut it down again or distract us by fomenting more BLM and Antifa riots in our streets. Despite the triumvirate's best efforts to downplay the scandals associated with their preferred candidate, this is clearly not over... so stand by.

But then, who am I to say... quite literally. I'm sure by penning this blog I've already triggered the notice of FB and Google's speech-smothering and deplatforming algorithms - the same algorithms they developed and used so successfully at the behest of the Chinese government as part of the price of doing business in a Communist country.
