I am puzzled, as I assume my readers are, why the powers-that-be chose the two least electable candidates for the Democrat nominations for president and vice president.
It makes no sense to choose people who have little chance of winning - unless the globalists intend to rig the election and elect them, or install them after a color revolution, in order to make the US a laughing stock throughout the world as a way of removing the US, a hegemonic power, as an obstacle to the global elite.
Really, once you see Biden in action, it is difficult to believe that even white liberals can vote for the Democrat ticket:
Imagine the ridicule that would be heaped upon Biden by the presstitute media if he were the Republican candidate.
Those of you old enough to remember President Reagan will remember all the presstitute insinuations about Reagan being senile and falling asleep at cabinet meetings. Of course, the presstitutes were never at cabinet meetings.
Reagan successfully confronted the two major problems of his time—stagflation and the nuclear armageddon that could result from misunderstood intentions or a warning system error. Reagan’s supply-side policy deep-sixed stagflation—the simultaneous rise of inflation and unemployment—and his negotiations with Soviet President Gorbachev ended the Cold War.
The Establishment has buried both achievements, and today Reagan is understood as the president who made Americans feel good while he cut taxes for the rich and poured money into the Pentagon and defense contractors. Reagan’s “star wars” was more illusion than real. It’s purpose was to convince the Soviets to end the Cold War. This was also the purpose of his military interventions against leftish takeovers in the US “sphere of influence.” The reason for these interventions was to give the message to Moscow that there would be no further territorial gains for communism.
Americans today, especially the youth, know nothing about how the Reagan administration gave us two decades of economic growth without having to pay for it with rising inflation, and they do not know that Reagan ended the Cold War.
Today the rightwing and Russians themselves believe that Reagan won the Cold War. That was not Reagan’s goal. President Reagan told those of us involved that the purpose was “to end, not win, the Cold War,” and that we must never act or speak in any way that implied that we had prevailed over the Soviets. Wikipedia, a disinformation website, opens its account of Reagan’s foreign policy with a blatant lie: “The foreign policy of the Ronald Reagan administration was the foreign policy of the United States from 1981 to 1989. The main goal was winning the Cold War.” The ignorance of whoever wrote this is extraordinary. The Soviets never would have agreed to losing the Cold War. President Reagan understood this, which is why he emphasized that our purpose was to end, not win, the Cold War.
Everything President Reagan accomplished by creating trust between Washington and Moscow has been destroyed by successor US administrations. As Stephen Cohn, myself, and a few others emphasize, the danger of both accidental and intentional nuclear war at the present time is substantially greater than during the Cold War.
It is difficult to reconcile Washington’s pursuit of hegemony with the divisiveness that has been created in American society. The Democrats and the presstitutes have made it clear that the November election will be used to deepen the divisiveness. For the rest of the world, the silver lining in America’s internal conflict is the end of US hegemony.

That's a fact.
Reagan himself was responsible for the fall of the Berlin Wall.
He met with Gorbachev in Iceland. After that meeting the wall came down.
After the wall fell, the west Germans found there had been virtually no repairs done to the infrastructure in East Berlin because of damage done during WW II. No wonder people wanted to get out of there.
I believe there is a section of the wall in Reagan's Presidential Library. ;)
I have pieces of it ;) It was great of Ronnie boy to do that, but I have a hard time imagining it being that simple. The summit was in 86, the wall fell a full 3 years later with (UGH) 'Poppy' Bush in the White Hut. What could RWR have said that made such a difference?
Right. And now just a little experiment please, folks. How many of us here can tell us briefly WITHOUT CHECKING exactly what (beyond the assassination) caused WW1? Would everybody please just take a quick stab at it for fun. Between about 25 and about 100 words, say. (But not '25 words or less', LOL.)
Here's mine, and it will be the poorest: Various alliances were formed by countries in response to real and imagined threats from other countries. Attitudes heated up, testosterone roiled, temperatures boiled to the point that a mangy little jew saw an opportunity to kick the free-for-all into action -- the assassination.
Something that just happens to power ppl but this time triggered horrors never seen before.
