[Order Daniel Greenfield’s new book, Domestic Enemies: HERE.]
Joe Biden has gone from a vacation at a billionaire’s estate in California to a postponed appearance at the DNC convention in Chicago, and then once more to a vacation in Delaware.
The man who formally serves as president of the country barely has anything resembling a public schedule. And his private one appears to be equally empty. Biden is satisfied with occasionally showing up at a few events a week, mumbling something and then moving on.
Meanwhile his VP is on the campaign trail and appears equally out of reach, only now finally agreeing to a single CNN interview with Gov. Tim Walz, her running mate, there to back her up. If Kamala Harris can’t handle a press conference, can she handle running a country?
And if neither POTUS nor the VP are running the country, who or what actually is in charge?
During the summer coup that successfully ousted Biden as the nominee (while leaving him in the nation’s highest office) it was revealed that there hadn’t been a full cabinet meeting since Oct 2003 and that those meetings that occur on camera are almost entirely pre-scripted.
But if the president isn’t running the country, who is? The same people who were all along.
If Biden had been running the country while suffering the profound cognitive failures that his own associates and the media rushed to put out there during the coup, it’s difficult to believe that members of his cabinet would not have invoked the 25th Amendment. Faced with a president incapable of discharging the duties of his office, they would have acted, if not in the national interest then in their own interest to be able to go on performing the duties of their own offices.
Why did cabinet members, top generals, and assorted insiders sit there and do nothing while the man at the top of the command chain could hardly stay up or pay attention to anything?
The uncomfortable answer is that Joe Biden was never running anything. The system is humming along the same way it did before whether he’s in the White House playing with paper clips and telling old stories or lying on the beach in Rehoboth. If that’s difficult to believe, it wasn’t all that long ago that Sen. Dianne Feinstein, who was on the verge of death, hospitalized and no longer knew where she was, kept signing letters and co sponsoring bills.
No one tried to remove Biden using the 25th Amendment because he didn’t matter anyway.
The presidency has gone from being a tangible exercise of representative power by the people to, like the British monarchy, an impractical but romantic embodiment of an idea. It no more mattered to Biden’s cabinet that he was out of it than 10 Downing Street would especially care whether King Charles III was fatally ill as a practical area of concern for running the country.
America is being run by the same people who were running it all along. Biden only secured the nomination because his people agreed to a deal brokered by Obama that put radical leftist allies of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Obama veterans and assorted organization lefties into power. All of those people represented a set of policies and ideas that they knew how to implement.
Biden’s participation in this arrangement was a largely symbolic one. By becoming the nominee, he got the privilege of making public appearances, delivering speeches and calling himself Mr. President. His was the privilege of being the public face of an agenda that he barely understood. Occasionally his press secretaries, his in name only, had to correct him when he misspoke or misinterpreted what the position of his administration, again in name only, actually was.
In the past it would have been unthinkable to remove a presidential candidate who had won all the primaries, but that was a decade or two ago when presidents were more than just symbols. Biden had not been nominated and had not won because of any policies or ideas, he had just been seen as the candidate most likely to provide a moderate facade for leftist policies.
And it was the policies that mattered. Never the man.
The policies are moving forward much the same way when Biden is asleep or awake, at the nerve center of government or with his eyes shut in the sun. America is being run by the people tasked with implementing those policies. Rather than taking orders from the top, the United States government, such as it is, is a decentralized cell structure of networked radicals.
These radicals are proceeding on their various missions, whether it’s persecuting cops, ‘queering the nuclear arsenal’, stealing money and passing it along to leftist groups or empowering Iran, in much the same way that they have all along. Now they no longer have to worry about being asked to perform for a confused old man at 1616 Pennsylvania Avenue.
America was not being run by a man, but by a movement. The movement is still in charge.
The movement transcends men and women like Barack Obama or Nancy Pelosi. It draws on their leadership, but it is more than they are. The last men who wielded any real control over it were Stalin and Mao, since then the movement has been its own defining force. And it is that very same movement, call it Marxism, Socialism, progressivism, wokeness or any one of a dozen names for the Left, that has been and is still running America. Top to bottom.
The trouble with Biden was that he came too close to exposing the scam. Like an old Soviet election, it became all too obvious that no one was in charge. And someone has to be in charge, not because they actually are, but because their presence helps to hide what is really going on.
Within a matter of weeks, the movement decided to oust the man. Directions were given and suddenly all the stories that were not being run and truths not being told were run and told. Then when the man had bowed to the movement, all the truths were untold again. A new symbol was swapped out for the old. There were shouts of joy as the system had a new facade.
A system, not a woman, backed by a state propaganda machine was installed. Her mission, like that of her old boss, is not to run the country but to distract from what is actually running it.
Jeff Bargholz says
I think Kamelho would take charge if she were able to have the election stolen for her like it was for Alzheimer Joe. I think she would take advice from the consiglieres if she were in power but she’d do whatever she wanted.

There’s this website with lousy IT.
(“Losing” our comments, you see)
After watching a “letter”,
Vanish 12 hours later,
I’ll save my comments for me.
Daniel’s articles are very strong,
So I’ve kept reading along,
But when our thoughts disintegrate,
It’s made me hesitate,
And calling for comments is wrong.
When finally getting sh*t together,
I hope someone will send a letter,
Until that time,
This disappearing rhyme,
Will do until they do better.

Please tell me that there has been a full Cabinet meeting in the last 20 years and “October 2003” is a typo.
EFG says
I am sorry, but that is no typo.
EFG says
Whoops. I didn’t read your comment closely enough. I misread it as 2023 and not 2003. My bad.
RS says
Good summation. The movement going on by the Left is a globalist movement of many people and factions here and abroad. They want America out of their way so they can move forward with their agenda which is going to be a very troublesome time in everyone’s lives.
Birder says
By the way—the “agenda” you speak of actually has a name—it’s called AGENDA 21!!!
Read up on it while you still can! Rosa Koire, on utube, has all the information you need(she was off-ed a few years ago becuz she was telling the truth). Her website still has a few videos. It’s called……”democrats against UN agenda 21 .com” OR
democratsagainstunagenda21.com
Please listen to her! This has been in the works since the 1990’s or before!!
THX 1138 says
“Run the country”, what does that even mean in a free society?
In a free society, a constitutional republic defending individual rights and private property rights, the country the Founders intended, NO ONE RUNS THE COUNTRY!
In such a free society the government is restricted to its three proper functions — the police, the military, and the courts of law. The government of a free society runs those proper functions of government, but it does not run the country.
We are so far gone down the rabbit hole of tyranny that we no longer realize that the American government isn’t supposed to run the country at all. The American government is simply supposed to leave us the hell alone to run our own lives in peace, not run the country.
It is in Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea, Russia, China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and other such corrupt tyrannies where the government truly runs the country, runs the country into tyranny and brutality.
The extent and degree that a government runs the country is the extent and degree of its tyranny and brutality over its citizens.
“The only proper purpose of a government is to protect man’s rights, which means: to protect him from physical violence. A proper government is only a policeman, acting as an agent of man’s self-defense, and, as such, may resort to force only against those who start the use of force. The only proper functions of a government are: the police, to protect you from criminals; the army, to protect you from foreign invaders; and the courts, to protect your property and contracts from breach or fraud by others, to settle disputes by rational rules, according to objective law.” – Ayn Rand
Intrepid says
I am always amazed at the bizarre, unimportant crap you manage to get all exorcised about.
“Run the country”…..we all know what it means. Except apparently you. You would rather make an argument about an abstract point about who or what runs the country. Simply to make a point. To make yourself seem important. Well, you aren’t important. You are simply a verbose toxic mess of a person.
Believe me, no one cares what you or Ayn Rand think. But if we relied on your idea about running the country we wouldn’t have a country.
Are all Objectivists as huge a pile of idiot sh*t as you are? Cue your five little “downvote elves” (it’s obvious how you operate).
AlbertTatlock says
Was it too difficult for you to understand?
Try reading John Stuart Mill instead.
The object of this Essay is to assert one very simple principle, as entitled to govern absolutely the dealings of society with the individual in the way of compulsion and control, whether the means used be physical force in the form of legal penalties, or the moral coercion of public opinion. That principle is, that the sole end for which mankind are warranted, individually or collectively, in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their number, is self-protection. That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilised community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not a sufficient warrant. He cannot rightfully be compelled to do or forbear because it will be better for him to do so, because it will make him happier, because, in the opinions of others, to do so would be wise, or even right. These are good reasons for remonstrating with him, or reasoning with him, or persuading him, or entreating him, but not for compelling him, or visiting him with[Pg 18] any evil in case he do otherwise. To justify that, the conduct from which it is desired to deter him must be calculated to produce evil to some one else. The only part of the conduct of any one, for which he is amenable to society, is that which concerns others. In the part which merely concerns himself, his independence is, of right, absolute. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign.
(Mill, On Liberty, p. 18)

Thanks, I’ll pass. You read it again…….for fun.

Reading is natural fundamental to learning. Ignorance is a chosen sport.
Since you are a leftist.
Please arrange the quickest and most expedient exit from America to your choice of Cuba China or Russia, your free to go anytime now.
On your way out, don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!

Hey Sb, I’m voting for Trump. If you check out my other comments you will see how wrong you are.
I don’t do homework assignments from wannabe teachers. But you are free to waste your time on Mill.
Intrepid says
Maybe you should leave the country since you find it so distasteful and unpleasant here.
AlbertTatlock says
Maybe you should leave the website, since you find reading other people’s comments so distasteful and unpleasant.
Aaron Hahn says
THX, maybe you should stick to quoting Rand or Pekoff.
Victor L says
You beat me to it!

Intrepid says
Hey Al, Maybe you should not worry about who I am responding to. Seems like you rack up the down votes just like your new bestey.
AlbertTatlock says
If you think anyone is “worrying” about anything you say, you are deluding yourself. I merely point out your hypocrisy., and I remind you that your childish comments speak only to your own intellectual limitations. That is all they do.
Apparently you refuse to read anything that might improve your intellect.
It’s very sad to witness someone’s mind, with all its intellectual potential, being squandered in this way. What a waste.
Oh well. There’s a lot of it about, I guess.
AlbertTatlock says
“A man’s character is his fate.” – Heraclitus.
Something for you to ponder.
Intrepid says
To Al Tattletalelock: A lot of people approve of what I say, more than your new bestey. And I have upvotes to prove it. So don’t jump to conclusions about which you know nothing, because you will always be wrong.
It’s my choice not to read all of the garbage the THX puts up for us to read. And it’s my choice not to read John Stuart Mill, because I had to when I was in school.
Perhaps you should find out the origins of my issues with THX and others who feel the same way. If you really want to go toe to toe I’m ready. But you will get bored. And I’ll still be here.
BTW, I love the faux superior intellectual pose. Seen it a million times from other losers just like you. Does it make you feel better?
AlbertTatlock says
@Int,
I’m already bored.
Are you even aware that you are not actually saying anything?
But hey, if you think that “a lot” of people who happen upon this website “approve” of your conduct, and you think that actually matters, then you’re a lost cause.
If you ever have a wake up call at any point in your life, and decide to actually read a book, I suggest you attempt Copi & Cohen’s Introduction to Logic. It’s quite good.

Something for you to ponder. (If you have it in you.)
AlbertTatlock says
@Int,
If, as you claim, you read John Stuart Mill’s “On Liberty” at your school, then you will have no trouble giving your considered opinion of the passage previously quoted, in light of the comment that was a response to (regarding the proper limitations of government.)
Try actually saying something.
You’ll find it’s far more interesting than what you’re currently doing.
Of course, if you can’t do that, and you really have nothing to say . . .
Jeff Bargholz says
Maybe you should suck my ass.

But, can we just ignore him already….I almost think he’s a verbose plant here to distract and annoy. Or maybe he is an Ai? “Ai, write annoying Rand garbage”
Intrepid says
He was posting his Rand garbage before AI.
Victor L. says
Yes! Sometimes NS (Natural Stupidity) can be as effective as AI (Artificial Intelligence).

This means Joe McCarthy was correct. He just made them postpone the movement a few years. The non producers are allies and now in charge. They will flog the help until we keel over. The only good news is that when this happens they will starve.

I’ve been saying that Biden*-Harris* are sock-puppets for something else since the coup of 2020. They’ve never been running anything.

Fine analysis of how the organization really works. I first started to understand how these large organizations work when reading books about the history of the British Navy by professor Michael Arthur Lewis. If I had only understood how these organizations work when I was younger, my life would have been a lot easier 🙂

PatriotLiz says
The movement is Communism run by anti-American Globalists including Xi. Democrat Communist Party is the CCP 5th Column. Everything nonsensical then makes sense—soft on crime, open borders, race baiting, censorship, gender mutilation of children, cutting off energy supply, inflation, lawfare against Trump and other patriots, assassination attempt of Trump. Their controlled demolition of America using idiots Biden and Harris isn’t finished. They have taken over UK and other European countries and Canada. Expect utter chaos/War/Bioweapons/economic collapse if Trump wins or doesn’t win in November. America can’t survive a global onslaught by FascistCommies.
Irises says
You hit all points on the nail! Our country was taken over long before Clinton or the Obamas Biden regime. This goes way back before Kennedy assassination who stumbled upon what was really taking place under his nose with communist pockets growing within the government he was in charged of. The corruption was so deep, him being president was meaningless just like the puppet in there now and the replacement. We can now see from 2017 the tentacles of the deep state hold on every part of our judicial, legislative and executive branch of government as laws are twisted and the weponization of the constitution against its citizens. It will take more than just Trump winning the election to have a major change. It will take a total overhaul of all major areas -military, police, the branches of government, FBI, CIA and cooperations with their direct ties to these cells within our country breaking down the walls within to see the change needed for a Republic America again.
Lionel Mandrake says
Excellent piece. To see what’s behind any movement is to define its most agreed upon characteristic. And this is also what ultimately defines what makes you Democrat or anything other than that and what informs your entire relationship to the world. Answer? Belief in a personal God. That is why Dems have purged Christians from their own party (who can possibly remain except fools?). Atheism is the new Religion and it can only breed total dictatorship – and no other Gods. Think about what I just said in context with any Dems you know in your life and you will seen what I mean if you truly know their hearts.

If it were possible for any nation to fathom another people’s bitter experience through a book, how much easier its future fate would become and how many calamities and mistakes it could avoid. But it is very difficult. There always is this fallacious belief: “It would not be the same here; here such things are impossible.”
Alas, all the evil of the twentieth century is possible everywhere on earth.

I agree with this article. But it is so very depressing. How can we. defeat a “machine” like this? Biden, Harris or whoever is a mirage. Trump is an actual person which is why he was smeared, indicted, and finally shot.
How can we overthrow a regime if we cannot find it? Because we are going to need to do just that.
Communism is death. Through disappearances, no fair policing or trials, neighbors spying on neighbors, censorship, hunger, denial of needed medical care, punishment for non crimes, no 1A 2A, being the wrong race or religion, The drug addiction alcoholism that results.
It’s not a joke.

The Supreme Court putting an end to ballot harvesting would be a good start .
kate mcmahon says
Amen!!!
None of this should surprise us as it is written for all to see & believe, or choose not to see & believe. The Word of God tells us not to fear as it lays out these days we are living in. Your Father,
The one true God, wishes that none should perish, yet we sin, we have free choice. The only way to pay for our sin, is one with no sin~Jesus, Yeshua, my Savior~ Maranatha~
Debbie says
“In the same way, God does not desire anyone to perish. He desires all to come to repentance. At the same time, God recognizes that not everyone will come to repentance. It is undeniable that many will perish (Matthew 7:13–14). Rather than being a contradiction to 2 Peter 3:9, God’s electing and drawing of some to salvation is evidence that He truly does not desire people to perish. Were it not for election and the effectual calling of God, everyone would perish (John 6:44; Romans 8:29–30)”

What really matters is that Almighty God is in control, Always has been and Always will be. Who ever sits in the 2024 White House will be there because God has allowed it. These are the predicted Bible End Times and believe it or not God’s Plans Always succeed.
Debbie says
“Some people find it appealing to think that Satan has control over a certain amount of life, that God is constantly revising His plans to accommodate Satan’s tricks.”
“Unlimited in power, unrivaled in majesty, and not thwarted by anything outside Himself, our God is in complete control of all circumstances, causing or allowing them for His own good purposes and plans to be fulfilled exactly as He has foreordained.”
