Yesterday evening, I was asked by Sputnik News and Izvestia to give my thoughts on Biden’s State of the Union Address alongside geopolitical analyst Daniel Lazare, and Eurasia Center VP Eric Rasmussen. The published commentary can be read here, and my full unabridged thoughts follow below:
I had rated the speech highly;; by the standard of mood creation; and Biden's words, though utterly false, they roused the other zombie grifters to wild enthusiasm. To me, Biden's speech was an impressive performance; but, of course, your "take" on it is the objectively true one.
I didn’t watch but one commentator was amazed he never mentioned the huge earthquake or any efforts to help. Totally heartless by his lack of acknowledgment. And Hersh article on blowing up Northstream pipeline will probably be his undoing if not ours as a nation. Worst President ever. He’s ahead of Woodrow Wilson now.
Thanks for the summary. Like others here, I couldn't stomach it myself. (I kind of doubt that Xi Jinping would really have a 90% approval rating, though.)
have any unbiased, objective polls been conducted on Xi's approval rate? it's kinda difficult too to actually go there and conduct such a poll (sorry Matt).
If you don't want to trust any polling station in China, then you should also disregard polling stations anywhere in the world. But the evidence of the hyperbolic improvement of standards of living for Chinese give credence to this mass support including just having lots of friends living in China which also is a nice litmus test. Some basic facts: Where middle income made up 3% of the pop in 2001, it has sky rocketted to 53% today with no end in sight. Mass corruption crackdowns of criminals scamming the people have occured (where not one banker went to prison in the USA since the 2008 crisis), Productive powers of the labor force have increased 13-fold since 1991, longevity has consistently risen in China to now hit 78.4 years which supersedes the collapse in longevity in the USA which is down to 76.9 years. Under Xi's lead, we have seen the end of the one child policy, and biggest investments into abundance creation ever recorded in history. The list goes on, but you get my point I hope. All the above variables collapsed dismally in the west
I’m in Canada. Between Biden, Trudope, and woke liberals all over North America, we’re all in trouble. We’re back to the days of the old United Fruit Company. We can only hope the current Russian leaders keep their heads, or WWIIi here we come.
I wonder if he actually took the covid stab, because his onset of dementia behavior goes along with the brain damage that can be caused by the mRNA/spike technology.
I don't think the US is on the brink of civil war. There's no economic base for that. The colonists over 200 years ago could at least grow their own food and wood fuel was everywhere. And funding came from France, right? Today's Americans have very little to sustain them long term -- food or fuel -- and even those willing to take a chance probably realize there is no secure way to communicate in order to form a nationwide resistance. It would take a phenomenal effort to create an under the radar communication system to ever bypass detection. And there would never be an outside source of funding a fraction of what the Globalists can spend. Any explosion of resistance would be an emotional outburst at most. But sustained? How?
I think civil war is silly talk, because the actual American populace is hanging on by a thread, watching more and more of their neighbors reach homelessness and destitution. Cities are crashing and outlying communities are troubled. It is reported that charitable food banks can't keep up with needs. The Overlords' timing seems to be working, and as it has been "tested"/engineered by them in black ghettos for years, it is more likely that the societal pressure valve will express as CRIME of desperate Americans against less desperate Americans in their own communities. This is bad news, and I don't like it, however, I think it is realistic.
The only "armies" that can exist long term are funded ones, and no one is going to fund American patriots.
If there is anything resembling a civil war it will be created just as it was in Yugoslavia -- with imported mercenaries to destabilize and mislead. With open borders, there is every possibility that mercenary forces of this type are arriving, to be called to action when their handlers give the word. They will be supplied with all they need, unlike any true patriot resisters who would have to struggle with what they could scrounge up. This scenario might appear on the surface to be a civil war, but it won't be. It will be engineered chaos and destabilization as perpetrated in Yugoslavia and even Iraq. I recall the shocking news of how the intellectual class in Iraq were targeted during the Iraq War. More realistic than the idea of civil war in the USA is the reenactment of the process used by the CIA in destabilizing any unfortunate country our foreign policy bureaucrats have gone after.
Back in the 1970s while a proofreader at a University publications department, one of our in system clients was part of the federal program to paramilitarize local police and interface with other law enforcement departments. I proofed complete complex plans for controlling all roadways and transportation which were drawn up even then. Fifteen years later I had friend who was a county emergency services director and it was clear from her descriptions of lack of preparedness that more time and effort was $pent on securing roads in case of civil unrest than on emergency needs. I'm curious if any balance has been reached since then. But looking at the way crowd control police are equipped in recent protests in Europe and Canada, it is clear that sector is still well-funded indeed.
thanks for highlighting what i c/wouldn’t stomach watching for even 1 minute
Oh! Let's see what he's got to say. After maybe some 15 minutes it went beyond my comprehension
and I flushed it.
Good job! "Much ado about nothing "comes to mind. Thanks Matt.
Congratulations on a keen observation!

content vs form, I suppose.
He's just selling the illusions on the wall of our Plato's Cave the CFR directed him to sell.

To leave out so many important realities as if they do not exist -- one word says it all: gaslighting. They are at it again.
They are so separated from reality I expect to hear them say,”let them eat cake” !
This is a perfect summary of that disastrous speech, Matthew!

this is very valuable, forgive me for being sceptical (numbers and percentages tend to do that) and thnx again for all the work you do!

He was Demented long before he was elected.
Of course he is Deluded and lives in an unreal existence.
I wonder if he actually took the covid stab, because his onset of dementia behavior goes along with the brain damage that can be caused by the mRNA/spike technology.
In addition to being an idiot he’s a traitor

Today I read a totally contrary opinion from Umair Haque on his Substack Eudaimonia & Co
Anyone else read that?
I guess I better watch the speech…
