Age, Competence, And Obvious Puppet Governments...

Roger Penrose is 92, ten years older than Joe Biden...

Roger Penrose. two months ago, lecturing on relativity and quantum mechanics, lecturing for 41 minutes, non-stop, at age 92:

The current President of the United States, Joe Biden, 11 years younger than Penrose, in an unscripted speech without teleprompter:

Some commentary on the situation:

and:

I strongly think that Joe Biden is little more than a puppet for some group of people who are setting actual policy and who may have been acting in this capacity from the outset. The idea that he can’t work between 8pm and 10am the next morning means that he isn’t able to act in his elected role as President in those hours - and probably the rest of the hours in the day. And this is nothing new - this from 2020:

“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.

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. 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. The White House often did not engage when questioned about the president’s stare, which sometimes raised alarm on social media when documented in official videos produced by the White House. The administration was above conspiratorial chitchat that entertained seriously scenarios in which the president was suffering from a shocking decline most Americans were not seeing. If the president was being portrayed that way, it was by his political enemies on the right, who promoted through what the press office termed “cheap fakes” a caricature of an addled creature unfit to serve. They would not dignify those people, or people doing the bidding of those people, with a response.

….

My heart stopped as I extended my hand to greet the president. I tried to make eye contact, but it was like his eyes, though open, were not on. His face had a waxy quality. He smiled. It was a sweet smile. It made me sad in a way I can’t fully convey. I always thought — and I wrote — that he was a decent man. If ambition was his only sin, and it seemed to be, he had committed no sin at all by the standards of most politicians I had covered. He took my hand in his, and I was startled by how it felt. Not cold but cool. The basement was so warm that people were sweating and complaining that they were sweating. This was a silly black-tie affair. I said “hello.” His sweet smile stayed frozen. He spoke very slowly and in a very soft voice. “And what’s your name?” he asked.” https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/conspiracy-of-silence-to-protect-joe-biden.html

It’s been said by me, many times, that the US has a “double government”, one which is elected and runs a “clown car” sham show with puppets like Joe Biden (as he has now been shown to be, openly, notoriously, and in plain sight), and a permanent - and actual - unelected government which has existed since 1937 (see https://mises.org/mises-daily/revolution-was ) and whose ambit and powers have been codified into law since the Great Coup of 1947, the year of the establishment of the US National Security State and the final overthrow of Constitutional rule. The appearances remain so as not to upset the general public (those who aren’t in the Club) but the substance has been hollowed out and replaced by an entirely alien structure - see https://sites.tufts.edu/fletcheradmissions/files/2014/01/National-Security-and-Double-Government-by-Glennon.pdf and the following video from 10 years ago - rest assured, nothing has changed:

This has been the situation since Jack Kennedy tried to do something about it, and got killed for his efforts - and the truth about his assassination is still classified, since it might destabilize, indeed wipe out the legitimacy of the actual government of the US:

For reference, here’s the American University speech referred to above:

Compare Kennedy to Biden - or Obama - or George W Bush. Kennedy was no puppet, no fake, no stuffed suit, no mouthpiece for a hidden cabal. The difference is absolutely breathtaking. The US was strikingly different back then, I wish we could get back to such a country, perhaps that’s what Donald Trump has in mind when he says “Make America Great Again”. If so, that’s the person who gets my support. In no way can I ever support another puppet, or the unelected government behind him or her.
