Who Is Really In Charge At The White House?

The Blue State Conservative

Welcome to the season of everything losing ground, at least for Western Civ. Sore-beset with idiots and scoundrels running things, the West stumbles backwards into neo-medieval darkness and superstition, hurling garlic bombs of objurgation against the supposedly wicked Putin along the way.

Your “trusted news sources” in our corner of the world will not tell you this, but the mythologized golem of the West’s collective sick mind, The Putin, mounted Operation Z in Ukraine at our country’s foolish behest. It was a twisted variation of the old head-trip Let’s You and Him Fight — described so well in psychologist Eric Berne’s classic book Games People Play.

It’s a game instigated generally by women. The West detests the actual Mr. Putin for systemically and doggedly having to correct the mischief that the USA set in motion there in 2014 — putting out a dumpster fire we kept feeding for eight years.

 

Mainly we hate the Russian president for doing what he said he would do, acting like a man, literally having to set boundaries for the unruly children, like Daddy used to do. America hates daddies. To America, all daddies are monsters (rapists!). That’s why America wants to turn all daddies into mommies. Anyway, we barely remember what daddies used to do. The context for daddies — the family — has been obliterated in America by every agency and institution in the land.

The only role available these days is the chimerical creature known as a “baby daddy,” which is as much a baby as a daddy, developmentally speaking. Real daddies are men, which is to say: not babies. Mr. Putin acts like a man, especially having to do a dirty job that needs doing, without complaint. America can’t stand that.

If the USA and its NATO allies actually cared about Ukraine, we would have just left the place alone to slowly settle into the de-industrialized agricultural backwater it was becoming. And if we wanted to prevent widespread devastation once Operation Z got underway, we would have promoted peace talks, with an emphasis on our previous declaration that Ukraine would not be a candidate to join NATO. Instead, we set up Ukraine as a launching pad for annoying Russia (while also using Ukraine as a money laundromat for public officials and arms-makers).

America is a drama queen, like the Queen Bee in one of those Real Housewives shows on cable TV, whose entire purpose in life is creating colorful conflicts within her circle of sisters. Daddy is not needed around that house, except offstage maybe as the wide receiver for a multi-million-dollar paycheck courtesy of the NFL (a rival entertainment).

When one of America’s drama queen stunts goes wrong, the Queen Bee melts into a puddle of tears — boo hoo — tripping the empathy toggle. The sisters cluster around her, beating their wings. Somebody, please, help her feel better… fetch her a glass of Pino Grigio or a Xanax!

Drama Queen Bee America does not like how the Ukraine drama is playing out. The mean old Daddy Putin is rocking the joint, cleaning out the place like Gary Cooper in some Long Branch Saloon of the Eurasian steppe — heaving all those Azov Nazis through the swinging doors out into the dusty street. The other sisters in the NATO circle were induced to acting as cheerleaders for the Azov boys, and now Mr. Putin has gone and turned off Europe’s gas. Western Civ is about to be sent to bed without dinner — the ultimate daddy trick. Now the sisters are all going boohoo. Nothing is working for the sisterhood.

 

America’s president, “Joe Biden,” suits the current national script perfectly. He’s a mere prop for the drama queens. No one mistakes him for “Daddy.” He’s the old, impotent, intemperate, often confused “Grampy,” a figure of bathos and derision, a shell of a man who, in his prime, lived just to work his official positions for millions in grift.

How, otherwise, do you account for his fortune? The Ukraine money laundromat was one of his favorite stops, managed carefully by cheerleaders Victoria Nuland, Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch, and NSC official Fiona Hill, America’s foreign policy establishment there back in the day.

 

But who, exactly, is managing Grampy now backstage in the White House? My guess would be Susan Rice because you never hear anything about Susan Rice or her role there: Director of the Domestic Policy Council of the United States. Wow! Sounds weighty. When was the last time you saw her name in The New York Times or cable TV news? You’d think they’d be interested in her doings. Yet I doubt that one-in-a-hundred US citizens could tell you who Susan Rice is and what she does. (Was that her the other day in a bunny suit at the White House Easter Egg Roll, assisting a confused Grampy offstage?)

Somewhere in the White House, there must be phone logs that record how many times a day Ms. Rice makes and receives phone calls across town to and from the Kalorama neighborhood of DC. Does that make Barack Obama America’s secret daddy? Or is he playing a somewhat different role… like the head of a cartel?

  1. I have been trying since he took office to figure out who was running things. It has been obvious it is not the President. I had suspected Susan Rice to be a principal, this confirms it in my mind. Fortunately, they have over played their hand so the American people have become aware that it certainly not the President who is in charge. November will bring change.

  2. There are two primary reasons for the war in Ukraine:
    1. There was never any good reason (national security or otherwise) for us to talk about admitting Ukraine into NATO. Ukraine was part of Russia from the end of WWII until the USSR collapsed in 1991 and Putin still considers in part of Russia. For us to talk about Ukraine joining NATO was nothing but direct provocation towards Putin and we should have stayed out of it. Putin said many times that his was his “red line” and we ignored him. And don’t bother to call me a Russian asset or a Putin apologist because I think he’s a thug and a criminal but these are the facts.
    2. The second biggest cause of the Ukraine war was Biden’s destruction of our energy independence and Europe and Germany’s total dependence on Russian gas and oil after decades of their “Green” policies shutting down their nuclear and coal fired plants. It’s estimated that they get at 40% of their gas and oil from Russia. Nord Stream 2 runs directly from Russia to Germany and effectively catrates NATO. Biden destroyed the possibility of the U.S. as an alternative energy source for Europe and Germany. Putin saw this; the debacle in Afghanistan, Biden’s fecklessness, and decided to attack. Of course it’s not being reported, but Europe is still buying Russian gas and oil. Biden and all the Democrats have refused to reinstate the policies that made us energy independent, so the “sanctions” are hurting us more than they are hurting Russia. How insane it is that Democrats and Republicans are all waving Ukrainian flags and talking about actions that would lead to WWIII while Europe is still funding Putin. NATO is a joke. The author is correct that the war could be ended tomorrow with a brokered peace deal to promise to keep Ukraine out of NATO. But Biden wants the war to continue (as least until November) so he can blame Putin for our continuing economic collapse. So he will send billions of dollars (they we don’t have) to Ukraine to continue his proxy war.

    Our policies and Europe’s and Biden caused this disaster. It’s so sad and a horrible tragedy for the Ukrainian people but Ukraine is not part of NATO and we can’t risk war with Russia over our malfeasance. Unfortunately, “the people” always pay the price for the Politicians’ hubris, lies, and incompetence. Now there’s a new refugee crisis in Europe and tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, will die. Way to go Brandon…….
