Remember the wise words of King Solomon as Biden nears the goal of becoming a senile dictator

An elderly man with wrinkled skin and white hair hobbled to the podium.

He was flanked on either side by military personnel and protected by bulletproof glass. A crimson background had been projected menacingly onto the walls of the historic building behind him. His weak, cracked voice roared in anger from the podium, denouncing what he described as the greatest threat to the nation he led: the citizens who didn’t support him.

Is that an extract from a history book, maybe a description of Hitler, Stalin or Mao Zedong? Is this a taste of a dystopian novel like George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four?

no That was President Joe Biden’s speech in Philadelphia on September 1st.

While Biden’s speeches are usually rambling occasions filled with gaffes and laughter microscopic audience In attendance, he viciously spat venom at former President Donald J. Trump and the more than 74 million Americans who voted for him.

“Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans represent an extremism that threatens the very foundations of our republic.”

“There is no question that the Republican Party today is dominated, driven and intimidated by Donald Trump and the MAGA Republicans, and that is a threat to this country.”

“You take on anger. They live off chaos. They do not live in the light of truth but in the shadow of lies.”

“MAGA Republicans look to America and see carnage, darkness and despair. They spread fear and lies – lies told for profit and power.”

“MAGA Republicans believe that in order for everyone else to succeed, everyone else must fail.”

Step aside, communist China wielding world economic dominance and fighting dangerously with Taiwan.

Move on, Putin’s Russia, which has launched a deadly invasion of Ukraine and is spitting in the face of NATO.

Get out of the way, radical Islamist Iran, desperate to acquire nuclear weapons and on its way war with Israel and the rest of the Middle East.

Back down, a revitalized Taliban armed with billions of dollars worth of top-of-the-line American military equipment (coincidentally courtesy of Biden).

Not today, traffickers and drug smugglers entering the United States illegally as if they had Disneyland season tickets.

According to Biden, the greatest threats to America are patriotic Americans who love their country and still support the most popular sitting president in American history – Donald J Trump.

Biden’s tyrannical tirade could be described as the epitome of hypocrisy and projection – a psychological term for someone who blames their enemies for the shortcomings and/or crimes of their own making.

“MAGA Republicans don’t respect the Constitution. They don’t believe in the rule of law. They do not recognize the will of the people. They refuse to accept the results of a free election, and they are working state after state right now as I speak to give partisans and cronies the power to decide elections in America and empower refusers to do the undermining democracy itself.”

“They foster authoritarian leaders and ignite political violence that threatens our individual rights, the pursuit of justice, the rule of law and the very soul of this country.”

“There are public figures … who predict and almost call for mass violence and riots in the streets. This is flammable. It is dangerous. It’s against the rule of law.”

With dementia or some other form of senility clearly on the horizon, Biden has seemingly forgotten that Antifa and violent sections of the Black Lives Matter movement — not Trump supporters — have been rioting in the streets for years, destroying America “fiercely but mostly peacefully.” protests.”

Biden’s mind went blank as he recalled that far-left Democrats – not conservative Republicans – notoriously knelt for the national anthem and burned the American flag.

Biden did not recall that it was radical leftists — not MAGA supporters — who threatened to kill Supreme Court justices for maintaining a strict interpretation of the Constitution and Roe v. Wade had fallen.

Biden had no recollection that it was his constituency — not fans of 45 — who torched police stations and screamed “Pigs in a blanket, let’s fry ’em like bacon” and that at this point the conservative criticism of law enforcement is mostly reserved for Biden’s anti-Trump Gestapo, the FBI teams who legally “authorized” Mar-a-Lago mugging is highly dubious at best.

As Orwell explained in his famous parody Animal Farm, the first stage of ascendant tyranny is hypocrisy and projection.

In the spirit of highly concerning memos released by the Department of Homeland Security, Biden stressed that anyone questioning the results of the 2020 election after watching documentaries such as Dinesh D’Souza’s “2000 Mules” or the Special Inspector’s Report of Wisconsin has read that this is the greatest danger of all.

youngest Survey indicate that a majority of Americans are unsure whether the current version of the US government was democratically elected and constitutionally legitimate. In fact, only 16 percent of Americans say they fully believe the election results reflect the will of the people.

Similarly, Biden’s approval rating has fallen to 31 percent and other miserable lows in recent months, even according to left-leaning polls. A theoretical rematch between Trump and Biden favors the “Ultra MAGA King” by one 5 point margin.

Apparently Biden and his colleagues don’t want you to think about that as we get closer Midterm elections 2022. And he has soldiers stationed around him to get the point across in what could be described as yet another form of election interference – attempted intimidation.

When asked about the bizarre and disturbing use of US military personnel in a speech that strongly denounced fellow Americans, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre responded specified that the purpose of the Marines was to demonstrate the “unique role that our independent military plays in defending our democracy, no matter what party is in power.”

The military is protecting “the party in power” from citizens who oppose it? How very Orwellian and absolutely terrifying.

Speaking of Orwell, Biden’s speech was oddly reminiscent of a famous scene from “Nineteen Eighty-Four” known as “Two Minutes Hate.”

“Before the hatred had lasted thirty seconds, uncontrollable screams of anger erupted from half the people in the room. … The sight or even the thought of Goldstein [the arch-enemy of the Big Brother government] automatically generates fear and anger. He was an object of hate more than constant [great foreign enemies].

“But the strange thing was that while Goldstein was hated and despised by everyone, his theories were debunked, smashed, ridiculed, held up to the general eye for the pathetic every day and a thousand times a day on platforms, on TV, in newspapers, in books Rubbish that they were – despite all this, his influence never seemed to diminish.

“He was the commander of a vast shadowy army, an underground network of conspirators dedicated to overthrowing the state. … He abused Big Brother, he denounced the party’s dictatorship … he advocated freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, freedom of thought.”

It seems Orwell’s timeless classics are as relevant as ever. As King Solomon wrote in the book of Ecclesiastes: “What was is what will be, and what has been is what will be again; and there is nothing new under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9).

When we see a senile old man bang his fists in anger and condemn millions of people who oppose him, we are reminded of history’s endless cycles of tyrants rising up amid self-serving hypocrisy and the demonization of all who do it dare to oppose them. And as the bloody sagas of Hitler, Stalin, Mao Zedong and the novels of Orwell all teach us, the next step is untold atrocities.

There is nothing new under the sun.
