Biden 'Summit for Democracy' Circus Is More Barnum & Bailey than Nero

U.S. President Joe Biden’s 3-day “Summit for Democracy” confabulation began on March 28 with the dual objective of garnering support for the Western offensive against the so-called “autocratic countries,” namely Russia and China, and to create the illusion that the U.S. also supports a “peace plan” for Ukraine, namely, Zelensky’s “Help us throw out the Russians and there will be peace.” While a few countries have specifically expressed support for this unworkable proposal, some of the countries simply said that they were interested in a ceasefire as soon as possible. The “Summit” is a hybrid online event, and there are various portions of it which are occurring simultaneously: the statements by countries in Africa and elsewhere about how they achieved their democratic elections; a Treasury forum on the need to fight “corruption,” i.e., President Putin’s “Russian oligarchs” and China’s “money managers"; USAID Administrator Samantha Power and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) on how to build “democratic movements,” i.e., color revolutions; the Commerce Department on “business and democracy,” empowering women, and confronting hate-fueled violence (albeit no mention of the hate-fueled Azov Battalion).
