The Betting Is Now Against Zhou
In the last day or two there has been an avalanche of “revelations” about Zhou’s decrepitude. Meaning, confirmation of what we all knew and were saying, but what was being decried as “conspiracy” theories. Yes, Zhou was a puppet, right from the start. Last night I had it all gamed out that this would be really tough, getting Zhou out. It still could be, but there seems to be significant impetus now. This new article from Fox provides a lot of the details of what others—meaning the charming media types who tried to gaslight us for four years: Who ya gonna believe—us or yer lyin’ eyes?
Longtime Biden friends say president didn’t remember their names in social settings
One White House reception guest told NY Mag that Biden 'may not really be the acting president'
Longtime friends of the Biden family, who spoke to me on the condition of anonymity, were shocked to find that the president did not remember their names."
She wrote one account of a guest who had attended a White House event last year, who allegedly realized Biden would not be able to make it through the entire reception, making the guest suddenly "open to an idea that they had previously dismissed as right-wing propaganda: The president may not really be the acting president after all."
Ya think? How does that line go, the difference between conspiracy theory and reality? Six months. Something like that.
"Up close, the president does not look quite plausible. It’s not that he’s old. We all know what old looks like. Bernie Sanders is old. Mitch McConnell is old. Most of the ruling class is old. The president was something stranger, something not of this earth," she wrote.
"This was true even in 2020. His face had then an uncanny valley quality that injectable aficionados call ‘low trust’ — if only by millimeters, his cosmetically altered proportions knocked his overall facial harmony into the realm of the improbable," Nuzzi described. "His thin skin, long a figurative problem and now a literal one, was pulled tightly over cheeks that seemed to vary month to month in volume. Under artificial light and in the sunshine, he took on an unnatural gleam. He looked, well, inflated. His eyes were half-shut or open very wide. They appeared darker than they once had, his pupils dilated. He did not blink at regular intervals."
How about the people who were his handlers? When did Ron Klain know? 2016? How about Jeff Zients, the current chief of staff? C’mon! Blinken? Yes. They all knew. And you thought only Congressmen and Senators had AIPAC/Lobby handlers? OK, how about Bluto Barr, Turtle McConnell and Paul Ryan—just to add a few GOPers? We all know the list of those in the know is longer than your arm.
The big problem, of course, is how do you get Zhou to step down as candidate for reason of dementia, but not resign as “POTUS”—a position we all know he never really held? If it’s already coming out that people knew he wasn’t the real president as far back as 2020, the whole country will be asking that question soon—if they’re not already. The obvious solution, the twofer, is to 25th him if he won’t outright resign—then removing him as candidate for “incapacity” would be a “no-brainer”—if you know what I mean. There wouldn’t be any debates or legal maneuvers about what the term “incapacity” in the Dem bylaws actually means—the 25th would put that beyond dispute.
The tricky part could—should—be convincing the subject populace that it’s time to just move on. That there’s no point in demanding accountability from the ruling class, who were all in on the hoax administration. The other question is, Will Trump make this a big issue?
It does tell you a lot about the real obscenity of the Anglo-Zionist Empire. Is there any other word to describe the devastation, the wars, the ethnic cleansings, the genocides, the rapacity in the quest to control resources that the Empire has wrought? The entire ruling class has been in on it.
Maybe JQ knew a thing or two:

An Independence Day reminder to conservatives waving the flag today: Cheering an aggressive US foreign policy is NOT patriotic. Our Founders would have been appalled, as it was precisely a global empire that they were rebelling AGAINST.
Oh, remember how I keep harping about Amos Hochstein, the dual citizenship “special” envoy to Lebanon, who’s supposedly trying to bring peace to the Middle East—or something like that? He has time for other things, too:
Congo ... Biden himself & Amos Hochstein (who was in Beirut recently) are helping "US-Friendly" Dan Gertler to keep control over the mines in Congo, when this man is widely known for corruption. Article from 4 days ago: https://ft.com/content/956661bf-b7d5-4226-9ff1-5d68544d219b…

Why is the media ignoring Congo's Genocide ?
The Chinese offer these countries fair deals. But we have ways to deal with that in the Empire. They’re called “militias”. Who do you think funds them?
Yeah, no wonder one country after another is kicking us out.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Government: Rep. Goldman Insists that the Country is Safe in the Hands of Others
"... This week, Rep. Daniel Goldman (D-NY) ... Goldman suggested that it really does not matter. In responding to a call for Biden’s removal under the 25th Amendment, Goldman suggested that the Republic is safe because it is safely in the hands of people around Biden. It is an argument that flips the 25th Amendment on its head and embraces the idea of a figurehead president."
Really, Daniel Goldman? Whose hands? Ron Klain's? Jeff Zients'? What makes their hands "safe"?
Jonathan Turley with an implicitly firm grasp of the obvious--what's going on. He calls on Dems, but why aren't we hearing barely a peep from GOPers?

There is now a rapidly increasing list of Democratic politicians and pundits calling for greater transparency of President Biden answering questions. But none are calling upon AG Merrick Garland to release the Hur audiotape. Curious...
...For example, if the White House is committed to such transparency, the President could instruct Garland to release the audiotape and waive the frivolous privilege assertions previously invoked by Garland.
