The Fraud of 'Our Democracy'

The gods that died

As if we needed further confirmation, the recent and mysterious withdrawal of Joe Biden from the presidential race—issued in a post on X on Sunday July 21, not on official White House or presidential letterhead but rather under a “Joseph R. Biden, Jr.” masthead—is proof-positive that the “our democracy” mantra endlessly mouthed by establishment shills has been nothing but utter doublespeak and an attempt at mass deception.

Notwithstanding the fact that the United States of America is not a democracy but a Republic, the deep-state Democrats heading the UniParty have demonstrated that they are nothing but anti-democratic frauds posing as protectors of a pro-democratic stronghold against the forces of fascism, totalitarian dictatorship, or whatever other hyperbolic rhetoric and misdirection they use to deflect from their own dictatorial rule.

The disavowals that Biden was dropping out just hours before the X post, the fact that his campaign and White House staffers were blindsided by the announcement, and the vanishing of Biden from the public eye combine to give the distinct impression of backroom legerdemain amounting to a palace coup orchestrated by the Democratic Party elite. The New York Post cites “sources” who state: “Operatives at the very highest levels of the Democratic Party threatened Joe Biden with forcibly removing him from office unless he stepped down.” Further, at this time, speculation is swirling on social media and beyond that Biden may even be dead, or at least more dead than he has been for several years. In any case, the pressure campaign and the dismissal of the Democratic primary results (“14 million votes,” according to Biden himself) illustrate anything but “democracy” in action. We are witnessing instead the subversion of the “democratic” electoral process, whatever its many flaws and ill-conceived premises. (The “right to vote,” as Hans-Hermann Hoppe noted in “What Must Be Done,” “is nothing else than exercising the opportunity to loot the property of others.”)

The testimony of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle on Capitol Hill on Monday July 22 about the July 13 attempted assassination of Donald Trump only adds to the palace intrigue. Cheatle repeatedly rebuffed demands that she answer questions with any specificity, and members of both parties called on her to resign. Three “liberal” media outlets received Cheatle’s opening statement before it was sent to the House Oversight Committee investigating the event. Further, the USSS director had no timeline prepared for the congressional inquiry.

Even mainstream media pundits are lending credence to so-called conspiracy theories that the assassination attempt was an inside job. Pundits have suggested that the FBI and the DHS, the latter of which oversees the USSS, have been wielded as political tools and are now apparently undertaking a coverup of their deed. Whatever the case, departments of the deep state are generating conspiracy theories, as if spontaneously and by design.

With the disappearance of Biden and the growing questions swirling around the shootings, the sense that we are under a shadow government is all but undeniable. As I mused on X:

Some imaginative people might be led to wonder whether Biden can’t fire Cheatle or do any public appearances—because he’s dead. Such imaginative people might raise some serious questions, such as: When did he die? Who wrote the letter announcing his departure from the race? Was he murdered? Is this a coup? Was he killed as the fall guy in a conspiracy to assassinate Trump? Not saying that’s what I think…I’m just saying…

But never in my life have the questions of “who’s in charge” and “what are they doing” been more conspicuous. An apparent coup and its coverup are being orchestrated before our very eyes. No longer can anyone in their right mind think that “our democracy” means anything other than their pathocracy—masked, ever-so-thinly, by the spectacle of so-called democracy.

Yet this exposure of nefarious deep-state or shadow government machinations should be taken as a welcomed turn of events. As it shuttles one figurine leader out and attempts to shuttle another figurine leader in under our very noses, we are witnessing, in real time, the blatant operations of a government behind a faux government and its attempts to maintain legitimacy of rulership over the U.S. The fraud of “our democracy” has been revealed for everyone, even the uninitiated, to see. Whether Biden himself is dead or still has a faint pulse, the gods of “our democracy” have died, never to be resurrected.
