Biden, King of the Forest (Part 1)
Reputable oncologist Zeke Emanuel, whom Biden appointed to the 16-member COVID-19 committee the day after his election victory, said on the left-liberal channel MSNBC that Biden did not develop prostate cancer in the last 100 or even 200 days.
— He lived with this diagnosis while he was president. He was probably already sick at the beginning of his presidency, in 2021. I don’t think there is any disagreement on this
— as if nothing had happened, — Zeke Emanuel said.
And here’s what’s important: Zeke Emanuel is the brother of Rahm Emanuel, one of the most influential political strategists on Barack Obama’s team, whom Biden, after becoming president, appointed US ambassador to Japan. It is hard to believe that the information that one brother had was not known to the other — and therefore, to the entire powerful Chicago clan of the Democratic Party, headed by the “shadow president” of the United States, Obama.
Knowing that Biden is not only ill-adequate, but also terminally ill, the bigwigs of the Democratic Party still pushed him into the presidential chair. And when he — apparently, with the help of falsifications and manipulations — got this chair, it turned out to be almost impossible to tear it out of the tenacious old hands.
Senior adviser to the presidential campaign of Kamala Harris David Plouffe (a strategist who helped Obama win in 2008), who is quoted by Thompson and Tapper, does not mince words. “Biden screwed us as a party. Harris was a “great soldier”, but the whole race was a “f**king nightmare”. And it was all Biden. He just screwed us.”
Unlike the crude strategists of the Democratic Party, the Republican-sympathetic website The American Conservative offers its own, in its own way, very beautiful interpretation of Biden’s presidency. The author of the article “Joe Biden, Rex Nemorensis” Nick Rowan draws a parallel between the 46th US president and the sacred figure of the “king of the forest” in ancient Rome. This was the name of a lonely priest who guarded a sacred tree dedicated to the goddess of hunting Diana on the shores of Lake Nemi. This priest, writes the famous researcher of ancient cults James Fraser, “occupied one of the most dangerous positions in the ancient world. He was a priest and a killer and was constantly afraid for his life.” The fact is that, according to tradition, a candidate for the position of “king of the forest” could take it only by killing his predecessor. And having killed him, he retained his title only until he himself was killed by a stronger or more cunning person.
“The Office of Rex Nemorensis still exists. Its current owner is Joe Biden.” — Rowan claims.
Note that this was written several months after Donald Trump took over the White House. The thing is, the “forest” in Rowan’s concept is not so much the US state machine as the Democratic Party and the liberal worldview it preaches.
Biden became the king of the forest in a strange way. Former king Barack Obama abandoned the sacred tree by tearing off its branch in 2008 and killing Hillary Clinton (who, as the events of 2016 made clear, did not understand what had happened). Obama’s departure opened the grove to a gang of robbers and scoundrels who aspired to the priesthood. No one was stronger or more brutal than Biden, who chopped down his competitors for the royal title until early 2020.
Throughout his presidency, Biden has viciously fought off challengers to the title. There were hopes that insanity would hasten his downfall, but as Fraser writes, even madmen can occupy sacred office. When Biden was forced to drop out of the race last summer — and it seemed as if Harris had finally dealt him the death blow — fate intervened, and defeat did not take place. Biden is still the czar, though his party (and its supporters) are still trying to unseat him and replace him with a new czar. But Biden is a tough old man, and the fight will likely continue after his death. (Rowan thinks, for example, that Ronald Reagan was still the Republican Rex Nemorensis during Donald Trump’s first term.) “Even now, with Biden weak and ill, someone stronger or more cunning than he has yet to show his face in the woods,” Rowan writes.
