Despite What You Heard, There Was No Peaceful Transition

A critical look at Biden’s first Executive Orders set against the backdrop of Operation Peaceful Transition in Washington, DC.

{ Those eager to cheer the departure of a racist, sexist, war-hawking elitist from the White House were quick to welcome a new racist, sexist, war-hawking elitist. Those who lambasted Trump for dragging more swamp creatures into the swamp rather than draining it are applauding Biden for his diverse cabinet appointments, ignoring the revolving door of corruption and oppression they represent. Those who (correctly) decried the Paris Climate Agreement for being flimsy and non-committal are celebrating Biden’s executive order to rejoin it.}

ignoring the revolving door of corruption and oppression they represent. ---- which is exactly what lead us to a figure of the likes of Trump. Say hello to the new boss, same as the old boss.

Those who (correctly) decried the Paris Climate Agreement for being flimsy and non-committal are celebrating Biden’s executive order to rejoin it. ---- Keep watching America's Lawyer for more details. Nothing will change as we keep rolling towards to late to matter.

{Biden has said outright that he has no interest in a Green New Deal, despite the fact that the watered-down version that bounced around Congress left gaping holes in truly addressing climate chaos. He has also ignored repeated calls to kill both Line 3 and the ill-fated Dakota Access Pipeline.}

It sounded good in the news, but as always, half truth doesn't quite solve the real issue. But then you have to realize what the real issue is. The issue at hand is to condition the tribal supporters into thinking something is being accomplished, when nothing is being accomplished. And MSCM isn't going to challenge the other half of the issue with genuine concern. Because their owners have stake in those issues to some degree. Whether it be stock or reliance on each others advertising and business partnerships. Any combination of.

{Meanwhile, the executive order to “advance racial equity” in the federal government grinds sharply against Biden and Harris’ own political histories while, much like Pelosi’s toothless Climate Crisis committee, it offers up no real action to address the issue at hand.}

New green deal language absent.

{The convenient announcement of DACA around Obama’s re-election just highlighted for Mendoza that this was really about dismissing “Obama’s deportation of more than 2 million people” just in time for election day.

Obama was only too glad to throw other children in cages, a practice many only found abhorrent when Trump did it years later. DACA isn’t comprehensive immigration reform – it never was. Establishment Democrats and their fans cooing over it like the return of a lost child doesn’t change that fact.}

It's profoundly sick that our MSCM will remain silent to the truth of how these conditions were created as Trump came and went and now as Biden comes who highly seeded them.

{The executive order to extend the CDC’s eviction and foreclosure moratorium until March 31 doesn’t address the loopholes in the original order that still allow for evictions. Furthermore, the moratorium does not cancel rent. Tenants will still be liable to pay for all missed payments once the moratorium ends, and landlords are still allowed to hike the rent during the unpaid months.}

I don't give a rats ass how many people wear mask, the virus is still going to spread while we have virtually widespread social movement. Biden's plan is the same as Trump's was. Force people back to work and kids into schools. There's not enough vaccine available to even get the first group of people a second shot apparently. How do you move to the next group? We're looking at mass homelessness and poverty growth that may make the depression look like a golden era. Are we hurdling towards the poorest civilization on the planet? The most richest people don't count. All the tools of war don't count.

{Likewise, the “pause” on student loan payments demonstrates yet again how little the Democrats are willing to help the people.

So we’ve got a Trump leftover plus an empty promise to shave off $10k in student loans when the average debt sits at $32,731, and that’s not including accrued interest. Biden’s executive order is essentially a Post-It note ‘IOU’ with a smiley face scribbled on the back. It kicks the can over to Congress in the hopes we won’t realize that Biden could actually cancel all $1.7 trillion in student debt with a different (read: actually useful) executive order. He’s probably also hoping we’ll forget that back in 2005, Biden was one of 18 Democrats who voted excitedly for a bill that stripped student loan borrowers of bankruptcy protections, leading to a tripling in student loan debt over the next ten years. Oddly enough, Biden never voted to say, strip multi-million dollar corporations of their bankruptcy protections. If you’re a huge corporation, you can easily wriggle out of your debts to workers, communities and local governments.}

What many don't learn is that their/Biden's cognitive nature of economy growth isn't based on helping citizens to provide growth, it's over extending wealth to those who don't need it. Even when those that don't need it create a collapse in society we get punished.

{The relief that Trump is gone is understandable. But don’t be lulled by the very conditions that gave rise to Trump’s presidency in the first place. To celebrate our so-called return to a democracy we’ve never had with a decency that is at best shallow, and at worst a conniving cover-up for crimes against humanity speaks of a belief in American exceptionalism that is neither warranted nor helpful.}

For those afraid of interrupting your comfort zone to confront the corruption today, you leave a more horrid future for our families just a generation or 2 away. The next extreme fascist to take power after this fascist will accomplish much more than Trump could have imagined. Like the climate issue we are approaching a point of no return.

Operation Peaceful Transition (as I’ve come to call it) was in full swing, with all the irony of previous imperialist missions like Operation Iraqi Freedom. In the shadows of Biden and Harris’ gleeful photo-ops with the likes of George W. Bush, community members across DC were working tirelessly to address the effects of a city shut down, blocked off, and singularly concerned with providing the ruling class with a cushy Inauguration Day.

{Meanwhile, Biden stood at perhaps the most protected podium in the world, speaking of hope, unity, leadership, peace, and a brighter future. These are two worlds disconnected. We the people are literally barred from his world, and he has no interest in entering ours.

There is no such thing as a peaceful transition in a city with more troops than both Iraq and Afghanistan. There is no peaceful transition for the black and brown folks displaced in the fastest gentrifying city in the nation. There is no peaceful transition for a city with a higher maternal mortality rate than Syria.}
