What is driving the various crises under Biden? Is it Incompetence, Misfortunes, or Purposeful?


It has been almost a year since Joe Biden entered the White House and the result is crises galore.

Annual inflation has reached a thirty-year high, there is a supply chain crisis, the forced vaccine mandates are likely to cause staff shortage for essential government services such as law enforcementfire brigade, and hospitals, finally, there is the southern border crisis that has caused an influx of illegal immigrant.

Biden's ill-planned withdrawal from Afghanistan has left that country volatile and on the verge of a grave humanitarian crisis.

If a manifesto were to be authored on how to destroy the US, its reputation, and every inviolable fundamental principle it was founded on, all the items that the Biden administration has ruined would be on the list.

We go back to the fundamentals.

For a citizen, the path to happiness is freedom and the path to freedom begins with economic empowerment.

When you are prospering economically the number of opportunities you are presented with automatically increases.

Your purchasing power rises i.e. you can dine at a fine restaurant, holiday at a deluxe resort, you can afford to live in a good neighborhood and you can buy luxury vehicles. You invest wisely and accumulate a handsome bank balance in case of a rainy day

Your ability to buy enables other businesses and individuals to flourish which causes a wave of prosperity.

You live as you please and do as you desire, you do not have to rely on anybody. You are independent.

This makes the government a peripheral player in your life. You may need essential services such as law enforcement, hospitals, and fire brigade in rare emergency situations, but that is it. The sole contact you have with the government is when you pay your taxes.

This is exactly what happened following the economic prosperity under the Trump Presidency before Covid19 struck.

Things are different now.

If you run a small business or are employed the Biden administration has a number of ways to harm you and render you out of work.

It may be the faltering economy or the vaccine mandate or a ‘Let’s go Brandon’ meme you shared on social media that compels your employer to sack you or maybe you protested against CRT being taught in your child’s school.

In addition to that, basic items are either expensive or unavailable. If there is lawlessness there are few officials around to restore order. The value of your citizenship has diminished because foreigners who have flooded your neighborhoods now have identical rights.

The impact may not be apparent immediately but will be obvious in time.

The result of these various crises under the Biden administration and the invasive mandates will be a struggle for survival and a feeling of being repressed.

The consequence is unhappiness, anger, resentment, desperation, and even violence in rare cases.

Whom are people compelled to turn to in desperate situations?

But of course, the government.

The government offers protection, benefits, and various other handouts for you and your family.

In time, a large section among citizens is totally dependent.

But nothing is ever free of cost, once you are indebted to the government you have to follow what they order.

For instance, the government can order you and your family to take the vaccine or you won't get your benefits. You comply because you cannot survive without the benefits.

The government controls all that you need and you have no choice but to obediently follow orders.

The government that was a peripheral player during economic prosperity is now domineering and imposing.

The citizen gradually learns to submit to avoid trouble and soon there is total compliance to the groupthink.

The very rich and powerful in Washington, Wall Street, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, and beyond will not be affected by all this. In fact, they become fortify their situation and become more powerful.

This increases income inequality, an issue that the left claims to be an ardent advocate of.

This is exactly how big government functions.

Ask anybody who has lived in Cuba or Venezuela.

Beyond local issues, the disaster in Afghanistan has hurt America’s reputation making it look like an untrustworthy and unreliable ally.  

The question remains what caused these disasters?

What is plain incompetence?

Is it conceivable that despite their talents and efforts things just work out due to bad luck? 

Was this a deliberate effort to create the necessary turbulence to destroy a nation and then rebuild it on progressive ideals?

For the left, Biden, owing to his declining cognitive abilities, was the perfect empty vessel that enabled them to push their agenda.

Biden has trouble remembering the names of his colleagues, his legacy, and how history will judge him are the least of his concerns.

They also know, when the experiment of pushing the agenda fails Biden gets all the blame and they just move on.

But they can at least push some key items on their agenda across the finishing line such as the 1.2 Trillion dollar infrastructure bill. A lot can happen in one year while the Left is in control of the White House, Congress, and the Senate.

Biden is most likely going to be a one-term president anyway, it is doubtful if he will seek reelection after his plummeting approval ratings.

However, Biden was surrounded by people of experience during his transition to the White House. These people were undoubtedly responsible for all the key appointments in his cabinet.

If they wanted things to go well, they would have hired people who could at least deliver the basics while implementing their agenda gradually.

Instead, they got on board the likes of Kamala Harris, Pete Buttigieg, Lloyd Austin, Alejandro Mayorkas, Anthony Blinken, Janet Yellen, Merrick Garland, and Jennifer Granholm.

These people have no significant achievements to their records and have no demonstrable acumen for delivering results.

To make matters worse the Squad and socialist Bernie Sanders are pulling the strings from outside.

It is not beyond the realms of possibility that these ‘talents’ were hired knowing that they would deliver catastrophes.

In other words, what appears to regular people as complete anarchy is exactly what the left wants.

A nation of chaos and a desperate citizenry that makes the government a supreme power.

This is an opportunity for complete transformation.

Their targets will be those whom they cannot win over electorally. 

If this group is compelled into submission by threat or made irrelevant by the influx of outsiders, they are not only in complete control but they can also ensure permanence of power like they have in California and New York.

Perhaps these crises are not accidents, after all.
