Two Theorems on the American Presidency

Posted by T on August 22, 2024
Politics / No Comments

Here my burden is to demonstrate two absolute facts of our modern American political life, each with a corresponding fact about the public’s relation to that fact; viz.

1. The office of President is actually a Committee

1a. and everyone knows this

2. The Committee is fine with the figurehead being demented or unhinged, as long as the public doesn’t care

2a. and the public doesn’t care

Once the coin drops, these theorems are actually pretty intuitive and obvious; but it’s amazing to me how much heartburn in the X- and Youtube-community could be avoided if people would just remind themselves of this truth.

I. The President is a committee

In an earlier essay, I explained how there must be a committee that is actually functioning as the executive in the Biden presidency. We need to pause on this point, as it is easy to skim past and miss. This kind of claim is usually dismissed as “conspiracy theory,” but here we have proof as close to apodictic as is possible, short of a videotape of the zoom call or conference room where the committee actually meets. Here is the syllogism:

i. Demented people can’t function as president

ii. Obviously, Biden has been demented for at least two years

iii. Therefore, Biden has not been functioning as president for at least two years

The beauty of this deduction is that we do not need to specify who that “someone” is, or even have any idea who it is.

To get from (iii) to the Committee, it is only necessary to notice that it could hardly be a single individual, because that would go beyond conspiracy to a state of affairs that cannot be imagined. Unless the One were appointed by a committee, there would be constant rivalry behind closed doors. It is too much to find plausible.

So the opinion of “conspiracy theorists” that the President is a figurehead for nebulous personages behind the throne, is actually apodictically certain. 

There would have to be a way for the nominal “President” to be informed about what papers to sign, what appearances to make, what trips to make. Most likely, the immediate link to him for this function would be the White House Chief of Staff, the nebulous figure that actually runs the White House. This position is currently held by Jeff Jew Zients. At the onset of the Obama regime, this office was held by Raul Jew Emmanuel.

The second tier of control is the important cabinet posts that control the important agencies of the Government — the ones that actually influence our national life. Today, these are  

  • Merrick Jew Garland (Attorney General)
  • Alejandro Jew Mayorkas (Homeland Security)
  • Antony Jew Blinken (State)
  • Janet Jew Yellen (Treasury)

Of course, it’s just a coincidence that the Big Five are all Jews. Don’t excommunicate me James White — I’m telling you it’s just a coincidence. It’s just because they are smart and work hard; and they have nothing at heart but what is good for the American people.

These characters are not necessarily the full committee, or even on the committee. They are the executors for the Committee, though they may also be important members of the Committee for all we know.

Ia. Everyone knows this is the case

that is, that the Presidency is a committee.

By “everyone” I mean essentially everyone. There are always some with their heads in the clouds, or prevented by dogma from seeing things right in front of them.

Some 80% — meaning 40% on the left plus 40% on the right, is going to vote for his party, even if Bozo the clown or the Joker were the candidate. There have been a handful of exceptions to this, usually if a 3rd party candidate taps off some of the vote, or if one candidate is wildly popular or unpopular. But 40% is a good number to use for the minimum vote either Party can count on, regardless of who the figurehead is.

In other words, 80% of the voters are going to shrug off any argument that his Party’s candidate is incompetent, mentally challenged or whatever.

Now, this Kamala girl who is the candidate, is both incredibly stupid and unhinged. But 40, maybe 50% of the populace, is not concerned in the slightest: the Committee will run the country.  Another 40-50% knows that it doesn’t really matter that she is a nutcase: it’s the policies that her controlling committee will follow that is the concern.

Would anyone, of either party, want either Biden or Kamala to hold the nuclear codes, or map out a global strategy through the world conflicts?

Of course not! And they don’t, and won’t.

II. The Committee is fine with the figurehead being demented or unhinged

During most of his term of service, Biden’s dementia has been documented by Mark Dice and others. But only a few agitators really showed concern. The Committee will take of it!

The Party/Media did a full-court press to have him removed as their candidate when, and only because, his public display at the debate was so embarrassing that they knew it would be hard to sell or buy the election while still maintaining trust. But they did not learn anything at the debate that they didn’t already know. The Left feigned shock because they knew that either winning or stealing the election under these terms would be implausible. The Right feigned shock because… well it’s anyone’s guess why the Right feigned shock.

In other words, the Committee was not only willing, but evidently saw it as a good thing, that their figurehead was a bumbling idiot. Only the public reveal made them scramble.

IIa. The public doesn’t care

Of course, the public was in danger of being upset by the reveal of Biden’s dementia, so this seems to contradict theorem 2a. 

But this was an illusion. The only rank and file that seemed upset were already in Trump’s camp. If you think about it, all the noise from Left came from the media and rulers, not the rank and file. 

As I said two and half years ago, the controllers — read, the Committee — probably actually enjoyed the fact that Biden was demented. It probably gave them even more pleasure that the public on the Right was upset.

Some Applications

I list some applications randomly; the reader is invited to figure out others.

  • Trump appears to be the first President since — what, maybe Nixon? — who may not be a stooge of the committee. This is precisely why the Evil Party (esp. the media wing of it) is so enraged by him — and the Evil Party includes plenty of Republicans. There is no point in refuting this point or that point they make. All of that misses the real issue.
  • The public’s confidence in the Committee is fuzzy as to the exact subject of control. I call it the Committee; a typical public might call it the Party, or the System, or something else, after they were made to see cognitively that it is not the Man.
  • Trump crushes the debate, Biden is revealed as senile; then Trump is shot, and he gets the most iconic photo in the history of the Presidency — and Trump’s poll numbers rise from 40 to 42. What?!! Why is it not 80%? Once the theorems are mastered, this should not surprise us at all.
  • Barring some unforeseen disaster on either side, the pundits on election day will be saying “it’s too close to call.”
  • All the earnest back and forth, arguments, denouements, soliloquies, video snips, indignant commentation, and personal manifestos on X and YouTube are basically street theater. Even I chime in from time to time: it is gratifying. It probably is the stuff of evening amusement for the Committee to observe it. But we have to keep our eyes on these indubitable theorems: realize that at most this is tilting at 1 or 2% of the public, and start thinking about a long-term strategy.
