This week Joseph Robinette Biden, president of the United States of America, put the capstone on his legacy and secured his place in history as a genocidaire of the Palestinian people, but this is only the most recent of his crimes.
Biden was born on November 20, 1942, in Scranton Pennsylvania. Biden’s father, Joseph Robinette Biden, Sr., was an executive at the Sheene Armor Company, owned by his uncle Bill Sheene, Sr. The family purportedly went through a period of hardship; young Biden himself went to college (and did poorly) at the University of Delaware. He then went to law school, where he plagiarized a paper for one of his courses from the Fordham Law Review.
He worked very briefly as a public defender, then opened a law firm and began a small property-management business for landlords. In 1969, Biden ran as a Democrat for the New Castle County Council, and served on the council from 1970 to 1972. He entered the all-empire public stage in 1972 when he ran for the U.S. Senate.
It was in his 1973-2009 career as a U.S. Senator that his most vile qualities were encouraged, enlarged, and exaggerated — likely by constant exposure to the odious class politics of the U.S. political system. He wheeled and dealed with the lobbyists and developed the same cronyist habits that most lawyers and politicians eventually exhibit. In 1981 he became the ranking minority Democratic member of the U.S. Senate Committee on the Judiciary and, by 1984, he took the lead as a “tough on crime” legislator.
During his time in the Judiciary Committee, he joined segregationist senators to help lock up Black Americans. “The truth is,” Biden said in 1993, “every major crime bill since 1976 that’s come out of this Congress, every minor crime bill, has had the name of the Democratic senator from the State of Delaware: Joe Biden.” He was close friends with many segregationists: Sen. James O. Eastland of Mississippi, whose foul, racist policies once led to him being accused of “Hitlerism” on the Senate floor, helped place Biden on that committee. He partnered with legendary hatemonger Strom Thurmond to author many crime bills.
In 1977, with Eastland’s support, he pushed for mandatory minimum sentence laws. In 1989, he criticized George Bush, Sr., complaining that he wasn’t doing enough to put “violent thugs” in prison. In 1993, he warned of “predators on our streets.” In a 1994 Senate speech, he said: “Every time Richard Nixon, when he was running in 1972, would say, ‘Law and order,’ the Democratic match or response was, ‘Law and order with justice’ — whatever that meant. And I would say, ‘Lock the S.O.B.s up.’”
Biden opposed the busing program in Wilmington, a plan intended to even out the racist segregation of schooling. “The real problem with busing is you take people who aren’t racist, people who are good citizens, who believe in equal education and opportunity, and you stunt their children’s intellectual growth by busing them to an inferior school, and you’re going to fill them with hatred,” he said in 1975.
He was responsible for the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984, which established mandatory minimum drug sentences, and the 1986 Anti-Drug Abuse Act, which created a disparity of one hundred times the penalty for possession of crack cocaine over powder cocaine. When working for Clinton’s disastrous and vile 1994 crime bill, Biden rhetorically asked the Senate “What do you need?” He answered himself: “The first thing we need is more cops…. The second thing we need is more prisons.”
During his time as president he has ruthlessly worked to suppress unions and prevent or end numerous strikes, all the while crowning himself the most union-friendly president since FDR.
But over the last few weeks, Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., secured himself as one of the most bloodstained presidents of this bloodstained oligarchic republic in its history: he has given his explicit approval for the zionist state to exterminate, relocate, and ethnically cleanse the entire Palestinian population of Palestine.
Forget his time as a struggling lawyer; for 52 years, Biden has lived in the lap of luxury, first as a U.S. Senator, then as the Vice President, and now as the President of the U.S. Empire. This U.S. aristocrat has spent his entire political career as a vocal zionist. Now, on the eve of the zionist ground invasion of Gaza, after weeks of brutal bombing campaigns designed to terrorize, kill, and exterminate the Palestinian population in the strip, he has doubled down on his commitment to the zionist state.
On October 27, 2023, after zionist bombings of hospitals, during the intensification of the air campaign against Palestine, the White House said that it will not “draw red lines” for Israel. The Biden State Department instructed its representatives not to speak about popularly-demanded ceasefires or de-escalation. His government has been shipping weapons into the zionist state, and Biden himself has been on a tour of the legislature to argue for more appropriations for the zionist war machine. His support of genocide is so blatant, it prompted a senior member of the State Department to resign. “I cannot work,” wrote Josh Paul, “in support of a set of major policy decisions, including rushing more arms to one side of the conflict, that I believe to be shortsighted, destructive, unjust, and contradictory to the very values we publicly espouse.”
Although in the past few days, Biden has made some mealy-mouthed asides about “protecting civilians,” as the zionist state annihilates Palestine, in the first hours of the brutal air assaults, he pledged public “unconditional” support.
Godfather of mass imprisonment, gleeful participant in wiping out Palestinian lives. The message is clear: Joseph Biden is not merely an enemy of the American people — he is a genocidaire.
The bankruptcy of the supposed representatives of the U.S. Empire is on full display. Biden, at the head of a lockstep contingent of almost the entire Democratic caucus, have been baying for blood. They applaud the salivating “Bibi” Netanyahu as he calls for extermination on zionist television. They upbraid the handful of politicians who dare to challenge them. They support the silencing of pro-Palestinian and antizionist voices. This country is exploding in protest. The world is exploding in protest. Biden, one hand gripping the wheel with white knuckles, continues to drive the U.S. into deep, criminal complicity with the worst and most genocidal acts of the world’s most heinous regime — because he is, at heart, himself a killer. Joseph Biden is a blood-soaked enemy of the people.
