"The corporate media establishment cannot claim to be professional journalists after this. Whether through stupidity or malice, their role in the Biden Charade disqualifies them from ever being seen as serious journalists ever again."

I'd say that this already happened prior to Biden with RussiaGate.

I started my Substack newsletter in early September 2022. On Sept. 28 of that year - 36 months ago - I posted my first story on Biden's obvious dementia, stressing that the real story was the obvious massive conspiracy to cover this up from the American public.

I later wrote at least seven more articles on the same subject. So I knew what was going on from my study in Troy, Alabama.

Regarding curious developments on Substack, when I wrote that first "Biden Dementia" story I had only 250 total subscribers. That one story generated 94 new subscribers.

In April 2025, I posted 14 new stories at the same newsletter. Those 14 stories combined produced 13 new subscribers. One story in September 2023 produced seven times as many subscribers as 14 stories did 32 months later.

Also, my story from September 2023 got more "likes" and Reader Comments than my last Biden story. That's strange because instead of 250 subscribers, I now have 7544 (allegedly).

The irony of the "cover-up" is that it was never really a cover-up at all. It was an Orwellian exercise to get people to admit that they were not seeing what their eyes assured them they were seeing.

For that reason I've decided to call it the Biden Charade. Nobody was hiding anything. They were simply lying about it--badly.

(One is tempted to channel the Star Trek character Jean Luc Picard right about now, and shout his defiant "there are FOUR lights!" from the end of the two-part episode "Chain of Command.")

Joe Biden WAS senile!

I tried to cross-post this to my subscribers, but got a message I've never received before: "This post could not be recommended."

What's up with this?

The Substack chatbot has confirmed that the post should be available for cross-posting. It did of course mention the usual caveat of making sure you're properly logged in to post to your own Substack.

Beyond that, I have no explanation for why the cross-posting failed.

I made sure I was properly logged into my Substack. Right after I couldn't cross-post your article, I cross posted an article from another Substack author - with no issues. Great summary though!

Thanks!

I don’t know what to make of the issue. From my side everything looks to be in order, and the Substack chatbot said it was most likely an authentication issue on your end—which should of course be taken with more grains of salt than when reading Tapper’s book!

Either I’ve run afoul of the Substack algorithm (not the first time I’ve offended the social media gods) or there are gremlins in the Substack platform.

limited hangout. what if "brandon" was actually a series of poorly chosen actors of various heights. then wouldn't everything the autopen signed be null and void?

and wouldn't everyone who was in on the op, tapper included, be guilty of treason?

Given what is presented by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson, a strong case is building that Joe Biden was legally incompetent potentially from before the beginning of his term of office. Legal incompetence would mean he could not authorize any use of the Autopen.

Executive Orders and Pardons would certainly be voided in that circumstance. Laws are a bit trickier, as in most circumstances if a President fails to sign a law but does not veto it it becomes a law anyway.

However, we should not conflate this type of fraudulent activity (prosecutable under at least 18 USC §371) with treason. Treason is laid out precisely in the Constitution and is limited to levying war against the United States or adhering to the enemies of the United States, giving them "aid and comfort."

Historically, the Supreme Court has construed these parameters narrowly, as illustrated in the WW2 case Cramer v. United States, (325 U.S. 1 (1945)) https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/325/1/

While there is potentially a case to be made for seditious conspiracy (18 USC §2384) as well as fraud against the United States, there is no case to be made for treason. That is not how the Constitution defines treason.

Sleepy jo biden's "caregivers" have been guilty of elder abuse since the 2020 campaign. It was obvious 🖤 to anyone paying attention. Only the main stream elite 🎓 legacy media 📰 outlets 📺 were seeing past it. [purposefully] 🤫Tapper and Alex are part of the swamp 🦑🐊🦂 that is the imperial cesspool 🐷💰🐷💰🐷💰 of DC.

Perversely, and as Holly has also noted, it is because Tapper and Thompson hang themselves along with the rest of corporate media that we should take their account of the Biden Charade seriously.

Applying legalese, their book is a grand "statement against interest"--the presumption in law being that when a person makes a statement which is damning to his side in a litigation, it should be taken as true.

Tapper and Thompson damn themselves with this book--and that means that what they say in the book is almost certainly true.

Good job, Peter and Holly, bringing attention to this! As you’ve said, Peter, this is a Constitutional crisis. The Trump administration must pursue this on legal grounds, not for the sake of revenge, but because it’s an attack on rule by law. The people running the a Biden administration were no better than the despots running banana republics. This cannot be allowed in America! Round up everyone who was complicit in this travesty and prosecute!

Perhaps the greatest service Tapper and Thompson have done with this book is putting out for public consumption the facts to frame a criminal investigation of the Biden White House staff.

18 USC §371--fraud against the United States--is a charge that could be brought against anyone using the Autopen to affix Joe Biden's signature to any official document without his authorization. If Joe Biden was legally incompetent from the start of his Presidency, then every such use of the Autopen is arguably an indictable offense.

People have known all along that what was happening in the Biden White House was a crime. Now we can begin to state that crime with the legal specificity needed to bring prosecutions against everyone involved.

I admit I didn’t read all of this . My question is did he admit that Obama or whoever controls the Democrats was really making the decisions?

People looking for confirmation that Barak Obama is the true puppet master are going to be disappointed.

However, Alex Thompson on "Morning Joe" named names: Mike Donilon, Jill Biden, Steve Reschetti, Bruce Reed, Anthony Bernal, and Annie Tomasini. This cabal of unelected White House insiders is presented as the likely decision makers in the Biden Oval Office.

Are the Democrats serving these people up to the public as sacrificial lambs hoping to spare the likes of Pelosi and Obama closer scrutiny? Good question. I don't pretend to know the answer to that, and I certainly to pretend to think that Tapper and Thompson have delivered the final word on the usurpation of Presidential authority that clearly took place while Joe Biden was in the Oval Office.

However, whether the usurpation stops with Donilon and Jill Biden, or whether it went farther than that, Tapper and Thompson leave very little doubt that the one person who wasn't making decisions in the Oval Office was Joe Biden.

Bernie Sanders has been jetting around the country railing against "oligarchy" while Tapper and Thompson are bringing receipts that the Democratic Party has governed the US as an oligarchy during Joe Biden's Presidency.

Irony abounds.

Peter Nayland Kust's avatar

If we learn anything at all from the Biden Charade, it should be that no person and no institution is ever "trustworthy."

Politicians, governments, corporate media, alternative media, podcasters, "influencers"--every single one of them does not deserve anyone's trust and should not receive anyone's trust.

The only things we can ever trust are the facts, and then only after those facts are verified.

Tapper and Thompson are a teachable moment in that.

Point taken, although these days I find the "Democrats" and the "bureaucrats" are damn near identical.

But, as I have commented a few times in various notes, this is why the 77 million voters who elected Donald Trump are by far more interested in him smashing things then anything else. The more Trump can dismantle the bureaucracy, or at least neuter it, the better.

And yes, the courts are the next big showdown.
