A Threat To Democracy

I was connecting the dots on some headlines this morning, and it led to a disturbing observation that the Biden administration is threatening democracy in other nations around the world.

For example, Joe Biden said recently that it was a “red line” for him if Israeli troops moved into Rafah to finish off Hamas. So, instead of drawing red lines about what Hamas cannot do, Biden is drawing red lines by telling Israel what it can’t do.

The annual threat assessment from our intelligence agencies was just released, and certain details were leaked to the New York Times. Among those details is shocking speculation from U.S. intelligence agencies that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government may be overthrown by mass protests.

They believe Netanyahu is in deep trouble politically in Israel, and even though the next election isn’t until 2026, our intelligence community doesn’t believe the Israeli people will wait that long.

They seem giddy that Netanyahu might be replaced by a moderate leader who won’t resist a nuclear deal with Iran and who will support a “two-state solution.”

This isn’t just idle speculation. The Obama/Biden administration tried to overthrow the Israeli government, and so has the Biden/Harris administration.

Before the October 7th massacre, there was a huge debate in Israel about reining in its left-wing Supreme Court and making it a co-equal branch of government, not a superior branch. The left-wing groups demonstrating against Netanyahu’s judicial reform legislation were funded by the Biden State Department.

Biden’s first ambassador to Israel infamously said, “I spend 60% of my time trying to help the Palestinian people.” Really?

What would our reaction be if an ambassador from Russia or communist China said, “I spend 60% of my time trying to save minority Americans from their systemically racist government”?

During the Cold War, our intelligence community manipulated opinions to spur revolutions in countries moving in a direction we did not like. They did that in the name of stopping the enemies of the United States and saving democracy.

Sadly, we now know that the CIA evaded domestic laws by getting foreign intelligence agencies to spy on the Trump campaign.

And just as the weapons we gave our intelligence agencies to protect us from our foreign enemies have been turned against U.S. citizens, those skills we developed to undermine foreign governments are being turned against nations that have elected populist conservative leaders.

So, Biden has been actively undermining Bibi Netanyahu. His administration regularly berates the democratically elected leader of Hungary, Viktor Orban, who has said repeatedly that he wants Hungary to remain a Christian nation.

When Guatemala elected a conservative government that Biden didn’t like, his administration undermined that government and even denied the former president a visa.

When Uganda refused to bend to the administration’s pressure to promote abortion and the LGBTQ agenda, Biden banned their officials from visiting the United States. So, they turned to communist China.
