Like the Soviet empire, the American empire is now a confusing black box
Interesting take...
https://www.takimag.com/article/a-wilderness-of-lies/
Quote:
No doubt the roles are now reversed. The rest of the world is forced to develop experts at analyzing the American regime in order to understand what is going on in Washington and why it is happening. The administrations of Bush, Clinton, Bush, and Obama were like the Brezhnev period of the Soviet Union. The rhetoric changed from one administration to the next, but public policy, especially foreign policy, did not change.
Then we get Donald Trump. The logic of the American political class said that a populist firebrand could never win a primary, much less a general election. The system made sure of that after the Perot and Buchanan scares. Trump wins and official Washington has a nervous breakdown trying to expel him from the capital. Eventually they replaced Trump with a dementia patient and the empire no longer makes any sense.
The Soviet analogy is not a perfect one, of course. Trump was more like Khrushchev, a reformer who failed to reform the system and was pushed out by hardliners. Biden, on the other hand, is a good analog for Yuri Andropov and Konstantin Chernenko, two men long past their prime, who were installed as placeholders. They did not last long and were eventually replaced with a younger man, which is what will happen with Biden.

The Sovereign Lord has sent to America a spirit of confusion, as he did with Egypt during the time of the prophet Isaiah (Isa 19:14).

No doubt, Joe DeMentia is certainly confused.

I'm praying that just as God foiled Egypt's plans, so, too, he'll spoil the evil designs of this wicked administration.

This is why America is PA's "black box". Perfect example. Politicians and their accomplices in mainstream media or big tech can literally say anything they want and get away with it. They change meanings of words or ignore words when it's convenient to do so.
And even when Twitter was caught red-handed they refused to remove the lie from their platform, essentially saying they cherry-pick what they take down.
Twitter says calling Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa a 'white Christian terrorist' doesn't violate its misinformation policies https://www.theblaze.com/news/twitte...reaking%20News

Christian? He's a Christian?
No he's not. His social media pages were filled with references to Islam and it was clear that was the religion he practiced.

Hello Newman, what will Joebama be transforming? Is he going to finish “fundamentally transforming America”? What will he transform our country into?

Truth is putty in he hands of The Twit. They can shape the truth into any form they want. It's not PC to cast Muslims in a poor light. But it is PC to disparage white Christians. Call in the Shape Shifters.

Yeah, he did transform the RCC. She now looks like the spitting image of the Harlot that is sitting on the Beast in Revelation 17. Good job, papa.

"50% of Catholics 30 years old and younger have left the church." (Auxiliary Bishop Robert E. Barron of Los Angeles)
"For every one person joining our church today, 6.45 are leaving..." (Auxiliary Bishop Robert E. Barron of Los Angeles)
The "revolutionary who transformed the Catholic Church"...soon to be into oblivion.
Obama's most terrifying, one-word legacy..."transform."
If O'Biden and his plagiarized agenda is allowed to prevail,  America. 😥
