Biden’s Aides Were in a “Fog of Delusion”
COMMON SENSE: According to Ron Klain, President Biden’s former Chief-of-Staff, before the debate with Donald Trump, Biden was “fatigued, befuddled and disengaged.” We suspected this, so that isn’t surprising. Despite the claims by the Democrats that Joe was a dynamo of energy, we witnessed his lethargy daily, but that’s not all. We were very vocal about the way the White House was lying to us, about the way they were covering up the President’s decline.
In Chris Whipple’s new book, “Uncharted,” he states that Biden’s aides were in a “fog of delusion.” According to Whipple, calling what they did a “cover-up” doesn’t go far enough. It’s too simplistic. Whipple maintains that Biden’s inner circle, his closest advisers, were in denial about what was really happening. Whipple wrote, “They believed what they wanted to believe.”
When I read these insightful statements, I stopped and took time to reflect. Having done so, I’ve concluded that Whipple is spot-on. Those closest to Biden didn’t think they were lying. Instead, by reinforcing each other’s positions, by twisting reality to validate their own version of the truth, they created their own reality—a reality that was empirically false.
Like George Costanza, they might have said, “It’s not a lie if you believe it.”
To protect Biden from scrutiny, from being outed as demented, they not only insulated him from those on the outside, they also engaged in cultic behavior among themselves. Twisting the truth to conform to what they wanted it to be, they came to believe their own lies. So, when they told us how “with-it” Joe was, they actually believed this was true.
That this occurred is beyond frightening. Although indulging in corporate delusion, Biden’s aides were actually running the United States. That we survived this, given what we now know, is close to miraculous. Addressing this is what the 25th Amendment is for. Biden’s cabinet should have acted. That they didn’t speaks volumes.
