Just how out of the loop is Joe Biden?
After the White House said Biden’s recent claim about nuclear Armageddon was not based on “new intelligence,” I couldn’t help but wonder if Biden’s intelligence people are deliberately keeping the senile old man out of the loop.
Given how often Joe appears not to know what’s going on in the world or even in the White House, it wouldn’t surprise me if even the White House janitors hold a higher security clearance than the current president.
The people in charge know that Joe can’t keep his mouth shut about sensitive national security issues, even to the point of popping off at the most inopportune times, like at a Democrat fundraiser. Better to simply keep the old man out of the loop than risk his loose lips.
Now, I’m not saying Joe is definitely being kept out of the loop. I don’t have any inside information here. I’m just a casual observer.
At the same time, I can’t help but think that the reason Joe routinely sticks his neck out and says something completely contrary to the facts is that nobody is keeping Joe in the loop on what the facts are.
Sure, they might give him the broad strokes. But the details? I’m thinking no.
All of us probably have experience with someone who can’t keep a secret. Think back on your own life. I’m sure at some point, you’ve told a friend, “Okay, I’ll tell you this secret, but don’t tell so-and-so because I don’t want anyone else to know and so-and-so can’t keep a secret to save his life.”
In the Biden administration, that “so-and-so” is Joseph Robinette Biden Jr.
Between his self-important boasting and his cognitive decline, Joe couldn’t be trusted to keep a secret if the nation’s survival depended on it.
Did Joe get caught flat-footed by the Taliban because he was left out of the loop?
Remember last summer he kept assuring the country that there is nothing indicating that the Taliban could defeat the Afghan military and take over Afghanistan on the US withdrew.
If I were a betting gal, I’d say there was plenty of intel showing that the Taliban was going to crush the Afghan forces like a bug only Joe Biden wasn’t privy to any of it.
They didn’t even keep Joe in the loop on intelligence they shared with reporters. In a press conference last July, a reporter pointed out that the intelligence community had assessed that the Afghan government would likely collapse and Biden snapped back, “That’s not true.”
How do we know it was his dementia that made him think it wasn’t true?
Isn’t it just as likely that Joe thought it wasn’t true because he was never told it was true in the first place?
Look, we all know Joe Biden is not the guy in charge. And while he might be “President” in the sense that he’s the one who took the oath of office, he’s not the “President” in any functional sense.
Is it really outside the realm of possibility that the people who do run the White House have instructed every agency to limit the information they provide to “President” Biden?
See, I don’t think it is.
We’re talking about an old man who is given written notecards with instructions for everything, including instructions like:
“YOU enter the Roosevelt Room and say hello”
“YOU take YOUR seat.”
The people in charge micromanage everything this man says or does. It isn’t that difficult for me to believe that they also carefully manage what classified intelligence they share with him.
Take the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines last month.
Vladimir Putin accused the United States of being behind it. And just hours after he did, Biden vehemently denied Putin’s accusation, calling it “disinformation.”
When I saw that clip, the first thing I thought was, “How would he know it isn’t true?!”
If the CIA was behind the sabotage (and I’m not saying it was), do you really think they’d bring Biden into the loop?
Knowing what we know about Joe’s loose lips, I’m thinking he’d be the last person they’d tell about such an operation just in case he decided to boast about it out at another Democrat fundraiser.
