While the Democratic Party machine churns still for the President's reelection, those believing Joe Biden's impersonation of a head-lamped deer during his first, and possibly final presidential debate last week spells his demise are likely right, but only partially so. Yes, Biden's performance was less politically survivable than a Boeing one-point landing, but what dies with him too is a taproot running deeper than just the 50-plus year career of a single servant to Big Business in Washington.
Jeremy Kuzmarov is a scholar, journalist and author. He holds a Ph.D. in American history, and has taught at various institutions of higher learning across the U.S. Jeremy too writes for Covert Action Magazine, and serves as its Managing Editor. Kuzmarov's book titles include, ‘Obama’s Unending Wars’, ‘The Russians Are Coming, Again’, (written with John Marciano) and his latest, ‘Warmonger. How Clinton’s Malign Foreign Policy Launched the U.S. Trajectory From Bush II to Biden’. His recent article at CAM is, 'Joe Biden’s Mentor, Father of Original Cold War, Was Traitor to U.S.: Family Company Sold Fuel Additive to Nazi Air Force’ examines the political provenance of the current President.

And; as Canada observed it's colonial foundation, one of its past foreign government assets settled into his new life in an American penitentiary. Strangely, few Canadian media outlets reported former Honduran President, Juan Orlando Hernandez's sentencing in the Southern District Federal Court of New York for his role in importing 400 tons of cocaine into the US while in office, (among other things). But then, perhaps that's not such a surprise given the role Ottawa played in securing Hernandez's - and his predecessors' - questionable tenures in Tegucigalpa?
Yves Engler is a Montreal-based political activist and the author of thirteen books, including ‘Canada in Haiti: Waging War on the Poor Majority,’ (with Anthony Fenton), and his latest, co-authored with Owen Schalk, ‘Canada’s Long Fight Against Democracy’, which he’s recently toured across the country. Yves’ also a prolific essayist, whose writing appears across the internet and at his website, YvesEngler.com, where I found his recent piece, 'Canada’s ‘guy’ in Honduras sentenced to 45 years in prison'.

But first, Jeremy Kuzmarov and the man who made Joe Biden.
