He explained further in an UnHerd podcast (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.malone.news\/p\/back-in-the-ussr-are-we-the-soviets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">transcribed here<\/a> by Robert Malone), \u201cOne of the really interesting things about the disintegration of the Soviet Union was the sense amongst ordinary people that the whole system was completely and utterly a sham, that the people, the nomenklatura who ran it, the Communist Party elite were just running it for their own benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The writer N.S. Lyons <a href=\"https:\/\/theupheaval.substack.com\/p\/the-china-convergence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wrote insightfully last year<\/a> of a Western-Communist \u201cconvergence,\u201d noting that Western bureaucracies are not expanding freedom globally, as they\u2019d promised when sending our manufacturing jobs and technological advantages abroad, but importing Communist-style bureaucratic tyranny. However distasteful it may be to admit, there are indeed some parallels between the United States today and Communist systems.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, our bureaucracy that unites the executive, legislative, and judicial powers is exactly what our founding fathers directly described as \u201ctyranny.\u201d So long as unelected bureaucrats run the government and elected officials function as window dressing, the United States cannot be called a free country, a republic, or even a democracy. Biden\u2019s puppet presidency is therefore a symbol of systemic corruption in our ruling class and the erasure of our American birthright to representative self-governance.<\/p>\n<p>For a long time now, smart people have read Western media as one does Pravda \u2014 to discern reality by reading their propaganda backwards. If the press suddenly starts blaring about \u201cdemocracy,\u201d one can be sure that democracy is in decay. If it starts talking about how inflation is actually a good thing that\u2019s not really happening, one can understand that inflation is at its highest point in 40 years. When they call videos of Jill Biden and Barack Obama leading Biden around \u201ccheap fakes,\u201d their denial confirms it\u2019s true.<\/p>\n<p>In the age of Obama, corporate media moved beyond long-documented <em>bias <\/em>to practically running the Democrat Party and thus the country via outright propaganda. The Big Covid Stampede was a demonstration of their power to inflate a worse-than-usual flu season into a massive global power grab that still hasn\u2019t ended.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s performance on the debate stage last month glitched their Matrix of deceptive projections that keep half the country obedient to tyrants. While it was no surprise to the Americans aware lockdowns helped an already mentally incapable Biden in 2020 by enabling vote harvesting among low-information voters, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ron-desantis-corporate-media-are-just-smear-merchants-trafficking-in-horse-manure\/\" title=\"Ron DeSantis: \u2018Corporate Media\u2019 Are Just \u2018Smear Merchants\u2019 Trafficking In \u2018Horse Manure\u2019\">corporate media\u2019<\/a>s inability to cover up his debate dementia scared them.<\/p>\n<p>Those media clearly worry, not about far bigger problems such as foreign adversaries more deeply understanding the United States lacks an elected head of state, but that they might not be able to drag Biden\u2019s corpse across the finish line in 2024. Even if they do, what\u2019s the plan when he does finally keel over? Democrats\u2019 other options aren\u2019t even as plausible for \u201cmost votes ever\u201d as this ice-cream-stuffed octagenarian addicted to foreign bribes.<\/p>\n<p>The result is front-row seats to an internal power struggle between rival factions inside America\u2019s ruling class. Ominously, when that happened inside the Soviet Union, it didn\u2019t lead to an outpouring of freedom. It led to a period of chaos and mobster turf wars that were quelled essentially by the KGB re-imposing dictatorial order.<\/p>\n<p>Contrary to what we\u2019re told about \u201ccitizen uprisings\u201d like Communist revolutions and the Arab Spring, they tend to replace one tyrant with another. The American Revolution was a very rare exception to that pattern of history. So the question is, <a href=\"https:\/\/theworthyhouse.com\/2020\/09\/08\/the-stakes-america-at-the-point-of-no-return-michael-anton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">what opportunities can be seized now<\/a> to prevent the usual rotation of tyrants?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d suggest people get involved in vote harvesting for Republican candidates, for one.
