The Existential Danger of Defending Biden

 To defend the Biden administration is morally damaging. 

It takes so much lying, redirection, and even sheer stupidity to make the Biden junta look effective, responsible, normal, or even reasonable.

I felt bad for Jen Psaki, even though she has been a government shill for quite a while. She was honest enough to know that she was full of crap, when she defended the actions of the Biden junta.

And the same sort of goes for Karine Jean-Pierre. But - but - Jean-Pierre is well out of her depth. She is not smart enough to handle the room, nor does she understand he place as press secretary. She is too quick to anger. And she is too quick to push off questions to the White House counsel.

To be fair Jen Psaki did anger at times and was unfoundedly condescending, because she was peddling in lies and half truths. But Karine Jean-Pierre isn't smart enough, too quick to anger, and possibly to inexperienced for her job. So maybe her intelligence is not a question, though I think anyone with some media experience would be quicker on her feet. Maybe she has just not built up the skills.

For both of them, it seems that they are in moral danger for lying to the world about the general ineptitude, partisanship, portrayed wokeness, special-interest favoritism, etc, etc, etc. How they represent the dangerous Biden junta has helped Biden's handlers to get people killed in Ukraine, Afghanistan, and the U.S. of A., damage people's health through COVID and isolated environmental disasters, destabilized the economy, made almost every U.S. citizen poorer, etc.

Standing Army (Part 1)

Is a standing army really allowed in the United States?

Is the goal of the Biden administration to create a standing army to suppress and control patriotic Americans?

Apparently, the Biden Administration is expanding the 1033 program that funnels "military grade" equipment to police according to The Free Thought Project.

Is the Biden Administration really giving more stuff to the police?

The 1033 Program

Standing Army: Biden Surpasses Trump on Flow of Military Weapons to Cops by Matt Agorist on TheFreeThoughtProject.com suggests that the Biden Administration is arming the police to make a stand against anti-government forces.

The 1033 program that gives military equipment to state and local police has been around since 1995. But it was an expansion of previous programs dating back to 1943. The most visible examples are the MRAPs (mine resistant ambush protected).

The Law Enforcement Support Office (LESO) is a division of DLA Disposition Services, a subordinate command of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). It administers the 1033 program(1). They also hand out grenade launchers and full-auto firearms.

According to The Free Thought Project, the Biden administration has matched in one quarter what the Trump administration did in the last two quarters of last year when it comes to giving military stuffs to police. So does that really amount to creating a single standing army, like The Free Thought Project "article" sort of claims.

Well for one thing, "Standing Army" is really an opinion piece. For another thing, there are not strings attached for the police departments to be federalized. And as the editorial explains, the Biden administration has taken a supposed backhanded approached to the further disorganized Black Lives Matter movement: ignore BLM and arm the police more. 

Standing Arm[ies]

So back to this "standing army" thing. It's sort of a misnomer. But the further concentration of militaria in the hands of agents of the government is troubling - though it is decentralized among many government agencies. The founding fathers wanted the people to be armed on par with the military. The restriction of weapon types to government agents severely handicaps the sovereigns of our nation - the individuals.

Citizens are faced with growing armies on the state and local level. For example, the NYPD can mobilize 36,000 to quell an uprising or suppress other freedom activities. The NYPD is armed with service pistols, body armor, shotguns, select-fire Armalite-Rifle-based rifles, HK MP5 submachine guns, sniper rifles, helicopters, and MRAPs. For a population diminishing well below 8 million that still doesn't seem like much. But it is the ability to concentrate power that is oh so troubling.

On a more decentralized level, even with small police departments, they are able to call on surrounding small agencies, state police, and even the national and state guards. Again, the individual doesn't stand much of a chance, especially when you factor in the weight of statutory law in many states and localities.
