For my paleface and other brothers & sisters on USMB, allow me to share a really good article written about what Biden's Administration is doing right now, according to the article's author - The Biden Administration's GHOST DANCE.
Long story short (but I highly recommend people read the article, only if the 1st paragraph teaching what the Ghost Dance is):
A Northern Paiute tribesman named Tävibo preached the message that the hated white man would soon vanish from the earth while the spirits of Indians long dead would return to life. Like Nostradamus, Tävibo unfortunately gave a date this would happen...and it didn't, In 1889 it was revived by Northern Paiute tribesman Wovoka. He taught members of the tribe perform the dance accurately and faithfully, the ghosts of ancestors long since passed would return to life and return to the earth as would the herds of buffalo and wild horses that had been hunted to near extinction. Along with the returning animals, the earth itself would return and rejuvenate, first covered with new soil that would bury all the white people and then bursting forth with sweetgrass, trees, and running water. The Lakota Sioux who added additional elements such as the ghost shirt, made of white muslin with sacred designs added. Its wearers believed the shirt had the power to stop bullets. It didn’t, and the Wounded Knee massacre of 1890 ended via death or disillusionment the overwhelming majority of Ghost Dance followers.
At its core, the Ghost Dance was an exercise in extreme wishful thinking, a falsely-placed belief in ceremony and ritual somehow bringing about a supernatural transformation of both the earth and history. It professed that if unrelated, and as it turned out utterly irrelevant, actions and words were performed regarding the bitter truth on hand, a magic utopian state of being would come forth. It didn’t work. It could never work. No such scenario will ever work.
So why is the Biden administration performing its own Ghost Dance?
The Biden administration and a whole host of snowflake followers are for months, and especially lately, have been doing the 'Ghost Dance' and wearing their 'Ghost Shirts'.
Ignoring his advisors about the pending disaster in Afghanistan, Biden adopted a strategy / plan that could not work, would NEVER work....and now has not worked.
Joe lied, misled, walked away and refused to answer questions, and called on his supporters to follow him, to don their Ghost Shirts and to dance the Ghost Dance, a 'dance' that would 'build back America better', would allow his administration to outwit the Taliban, outmaneuver the Taliban, successfully evacuate every American stranded in Afghanistan, and leave in triumph.
For more than a week Biden's 'Ghost Dancers' have declared 'no one is stranded', 'Biden will evacuate them all', 'no one is dying in Afghanistan', 'No one will be left behind', 'no one will die'....
The Ghost Dance didn't work.......the Ghost Shirts didn't / haven't worked.....
The sudden bombing outside the Airport in Kabul that killed 12 service members and wounded many more cut right through the 'dream' and the wishful thinking....it has forced the Biden administration to face the dark facts that thery are in serious trouble in Afghanistan, its going to get much worse, and there is going to be a lot more blood.
As Jeff Charles precisely noted here earlier, the administration is carrying on as if the withdrawal from Afghanistan has been, and continues to be, a roaring success. It is anything but. The administration makes jokes about Americans being left behind even as the main conduit for evacuations, namely the Kabul airport, is rapidly becoming a no-man’s land. We are abandoning our allies in the country who almost certainly will pay the ultimate price at the Taliban’s hands for working with the infidels. And yet we see … well, this:
Retweet if you agree the media owes President Biden and the U.S. military an apology for their doomsday reporting on what has turned out to be a very successful evacuation of Americans and our Afghan allies from Kabul.
