An actual line out of Joe Biden's mouth from the SOTUA was: "I ran for president to fundamentally change things". I feel like Iike the speech writer(s) snuck that one in just to laugh at us. Given his campaign statement to donors that "nothing will fundamentally change."
Thanks, Paul, I was also struck by how little Biden had to say about "foreign policy," aka ratcheting up the US war moves against Russia and China, especially right on the heels of the "balloon" incident that the U.S. continues to milk for such virulent war propaganda. Then I recalled this poem by Bertoldt Brecht.
I do think nearly all (perhaps 100%) of this is theater. The fronts are those who occupy the WH, but the Office of the President - where the official power resides with its proclamations, executive orders and role as Commander-In-Chief are controlled not by "Biden" but by the ruling powers (behind the curtain). Biden merely speaks there theatrical words. Much of this is simple divide and rule and event driven distration. The media is controlled opposition which tells Americans (and those who'll listen) what to think.
This process began long ago. The Civil War consolidated state power, the murder of JFK brought the office under near total control of the elite powers (transnational corporations) and then the major events in this century (of course the many wars that continued to concentrate wealth and power).
We live under corporatism, a fascistic imperialism. The power struggle is going on in spots throughout the planet.
Operation COVID was not a health pandemic, but cover to put the global economy in an induced coma. Deaths occurred due to the policies, all of which were made legal over a stretch of many decades. The operation was and is being run by the military and orchestrated globally.
Biden is a pawn which can be eliminated at any time, as soon as his usefulness (or is it uselessness) is over. Easier to expend him than his predecessor, who is clear a thug.
There are no saviors in this system or in the world.
I did not listen to the State of the Union speech because they are usually filled with lies and promises that the president does not plan or is unable to implement, so I appreciated your excellent critique and it reinforced the correctness of my decision not to listen.
My sentiments exactly, Paul. It's why I've gotten involved with the Party for Socialism and Liberation this past year. Delighted to see you advancing your presence on social media. Best of luck!

Enjoy was the right word. Hilariously macabre! Another masterpiece to be cited and quoted from rooftops all across America!

WHEN THE LEADERS SPEAK OF PEACE
The common folk know
That war is coming.
When the leaders curse war
The mobilization order is already written out.
Yep.
Paul Street, I agree with your last paragraph.
