1- I’ve been drawn back to renewed fascination with the Bay of Pigs / Cuban Missile Crises.
I guess because in 1962 we nearly killed killed millions globally; whereas, in 2020 we (the human race) managed to do it (cont).
2- One of the weird similarities is how the the deep state managed to create a fiasco across an outgoing / incoming Administration. Almost as if that’s the optimal time to do crazy shit.
3- Another interesting parallel is that JFK campaigned on aggressively fighting communism, accusing Eisenhower / Nixon of being too soft on the USSR aka “Red Menace”.
Once he became president JFK was trapped by his own campaign rhetoric.

4- JFK very nearly lost control of the war hawks he placed and empowered in his own cabinet (McNamara, Bundy, Rusk, Taylor, etc), based on his campaign rhetoric.
Read this to see how close JFK came to the inmates taking over the asylum. Chilling.

5- Now think about how Joe “I will shut down the virus” Biden campaigned.
He also enabled crazy generals, only in this case it was the healthcare czars (most notably Fauci).
Like JFK, Biden is trapped in his own tough talk campaign rhetoric.
6- However, there are big differences. JFK was young, smart, & tough. He also had Bobby Kennedy, who was equally smart & who JFK could 100% trust.
7- Biden, on the other hand, is old, dumb, and weak.
And who does Joe have around him that he can absolutely, 100% trust? His grifter family members? Nope.
His inner circle? You think Psaki, Klain, etc. aren’t figuring out their Biden-less political future?
His VP. Lol.
8- In Biden’s case the inmates took over the asylum and we’re fighting an enemy (in this case a virus) we don’t fully understand and continually underestimate.
9- The answer likely lies in understanding the origins of COVID. You can’t defeat what you don’t understand.
But… The answers likely lead back to the same inmates now running the asylum. So don’t hold your breath.
