Boris Yeltsin was the president of Russia from 1991 to 1999, just as the Soviet Empire was dissolving. The immediate post-USSR period, when the Eastern European satellites were freed and the “soviet republics” became independent countries and Russia once again became Russia, was marked by rapid decline and weakness in Russia as the nation’s resources and wealth was freely pillaged both by internal oligarchs and external ones along with Western multi-nationals.

Many Russians became despondent during the Yeltsin years, with already historically high rates of alcohol consumption soaring. The lifespan of Russians, particularly Russian men, declined noticeably, as the Russian government post-communism under Yeltsin was dominated by forces determined to drive it into the ground. The average Russian had no leadership, no one interested in defending the country and its heritage and traditional values.

Sound familiar? The rapid decline of Russia in the 1990s was paralleled some 25 years later in the United States with the rapid decline and societal hopelessness and cynicism engendered by the hideous four years of the Biden Cabal, and for a long time before that if truth be told, just not as rapidly.

Yeltsin was a notorious drunk, a buffoonish stooge effortlessly manipulated by Russian oligarchs as well as by then President Bill Clinton and the globalist political and economic interests he fronted for. In America, Joe Biden wasn’t a drunk but was rather a brain-addled, eager front man for the political and financial forces that have run the U.S. for generations.

Even before he went senile, Biden was a pathological liar, seemingly incapable of saying anything truthful, a pliable, not very bright District of Criminals stalwart for half a century who had never held a job in the private sector and who became quite wealthy from being a useful idiot/warhorse for the Democrat wing of the Uniparty.

Washington manipulated the Russian election that resulted in Yeltsin becoming that country’s president, as Time magazine’s July 15, 1996 issue gloated on its cover. Similarly, Biden hid in his basement and yet somehow received significantly more votes than any presidential candidate ever in an election that only Rachel Maddow and the dullards on The View still think was legitimate.

Remember that only “election deniers” question the legitimacy of elections in the U.S.

Biden was “selected” in part by promising to “unify” the U.S. after what the now thoroughly discredited corporate media claimed was the “divisiveness” of Donald Trump’s first term. Yet there has never been a President remotely as divisive and outright hateful as Joe Biden. His speech in Philadelphia on September 1, 2022, ranting and raving in front of a blood red background replete with armed soldiers as he denounced half of the country as a “danger to democracy,” may go down as his most disgusting moment, but throughout his four years he engaged in similar hate speech when his handlers were able to wake him up and get him in front of a teleprompter.

The Biden Administration waged psychological and legal warfare against Donald Trump and his supporters non-stop for four years. It is not an overstatement to say that the Biden Cabal regarded normal Americans as domestic enemies, and the country’s heritage and ways of life as despised anachronisms that were to be obliterated by whatever means necessary.

The lifespan of White Americans dropped significantly during the Biden regime. Abuse of drugs and alcohol soared, as did general feelings of hopelessness and depression.

The Biden Cabal’s attitude toward the victims of the toxic train derailment in East Palestine, Ohio and the victims of the once-in-a-century flooding in western North Carolina and surrounding areas perfectly reflected how it felt about working class Americans, particularly White ones.Subscribed

Meanwhile, the southern border was opened wide and countless numbers of illegal aliens (10 million? 15 million?) were welcomed, then bused and flown to areas all around America, given phones, free money, expensive hotel rooms and even sometimes houses, all while over 60% of Americans were and are living paycheck to paycheck.

And then while that and much more was going on, hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars were given to Ukraine, always a notoriously corrupt country but especially so after U.S. oligarchs and corporations began plundering it, and Uncle Sam was building a couple of dozen or so bio-labs. How much or little of all that “aid” even reached Ukraine and its intended targets is unknown, because like always there was no accountability, just corruption and grifting on a scale never before seen.

Already brings back bad memories, doesn’t it?

Again much like Joe Biden, Boris Yeltsin was eventually pushed aside and his place was taken by Vladimir Putin. Putin immediately ended the plunder and exploitation policies of the oligarchs, including jailing some of them. With a genuine leader in power, Russia quickly began bouncing back and became much stronger economically and militarily. And perhaps most importantly, the national pride of a great country was restored. One can’t fully understand the irrational hatred of Putin by Western elites unless one understands how much they loathe him for leading Russia forward and making it a strong, independent country again rather than remaining a virtual colony of Washington as was the case during the Yeltsin years.

Similarly, Donald Trump 2.0 has so far exhibited extraordinarily strong and effective leadership. He faces very strong entrenched forces, aka “The Deep State,” but The Blob has already been severely wounded by the new sheriff in town, who seems intent on delivering on all his promises and then some this time around.

What DOGE has uncovered so far is undoubtedly but the tip of a humongous iceberg, but that tip alone is revealing more criminality and treason than normal Americans can believe. The Biden Administration was America’s first openly left-wing revolutionary government, and just as when the USSR and its component regimes in Eastern Europe fell, the question becomes, what is the most effective way to deal with the criminality and treason the American People experienced the past four years so that it never happens again.

The “fall of communism” itself was rather mysterious the way it happened. One day the USSR and Eastern Europe were run by communist dictators, the next they were holding elections and “reformers” were in charge. The “reformers” themselves were often long-time communists who had changed their stripes to adapt and survive. Only in Romania was a severe price paid, as the dictator Nicolae Ceaușescu and his wife Elena were executed after masses of Romanians gathered and demanded justice.

No reasonable person wants to see what happened in Romania duplicated here. But. . . it’s also clear that every single institution in the U.S. was methodically infiltrated and taken over by anti-American subversives and that the entire edifice exists and is propped up by greed and grift on a scale that is only just beginning to be exposed by DOGE and the Trump Administration.

Americans want to move forward into the new “golden age,” but at the same time there must be a fair reckoning. Republicans themselves are in large part responsible for the “long march through the institutions” by the lunatic left because they either closed their eyes to what was going on for fear of being called names by the regime media, or because they were actively collaborating with the Communist (Democrat) Party, aka the large RINO contingent of the GOP.

The worst of the criminals at the very least must be prosecuted and imprisoned where justified. And Donald Trump should be highly motivated to keep cleaning house, because if the current administration doesn’t, the radical left will do everything possible to gain a majority position in Congress in the 2026 and ’28 elections, and if they do they will again go after President Trump, his family, and his key supporters, and with even more of a vengeance than what horrified Americans have witnessed the past four years.

The Marxist revolutionaries are finally on the defensive after generations of offense; President Trump and MAGA must stay on the offensive and thoroughly drain the swamp, because decisive opposing power is the only thing the left will submit to. The Permanent Cultural Revolution of the past 60 years must be defeated by a pro-American MAGA Revolution. That is the only way American can truly experience a Golden Age of lasting duration.
