Seymour Hersh: The Big Three -- Pelosi, Schumer, and Obama -- Told Biden That Kamala Harris Was Ready to Invoke the 25th Amendment If He Didn't Agree to the Coupists' Terms

Happy Tuesday. I hope everyone is happy and full of vigor.

I know many of you are Concerned about my shelving situation, but I want to assure you that Sh3lving Phas3 3 is now back on track...

If this is true -- and I believe strongly that it is -- then 1, it's a coup, and 2, Biden should not be president now. If they had the votes to declare him incapacitated and incapable of being president, then he is incapacitated and incapable of being president right now. Not in January 2025, but right now.

@Geiger_Capital

Insane story from Seymour Hersh...

Biden was threatened with the 25th Amendment by top level Democrats.

"Obama called Biden after breakfast [on July 21] and said, 'Here's the deal. We have Kamala's approval to invoke the 25th Amendment.'"


25thamendmentthreat.jpg

I told you, I told you! But what did you say, you said "aw, it's nothin' but an 'armless little bunny..."


Hersch also reports that the "medical emergency" Biden experienced in Las Vegas caused him to become "deathly pale" and to slur his speech to the point of incomprehensible. (I will preempt your jokes (because I'm an a-hole) and say "day that ends in -y, amirite?")

deathlypale.jpg

Via Matt Vespa.

As Matt Vespa notes, Biden's symptoms seem more in line with a stroke than with "covid."

Sourcing problems? Some commenters are dubious about Seymour Hersch, generally.

>>> The story is plausible but because it comes from Seymour Hersh, one of the biggest yarn spinners ever.... I am dubious. Perhaps if other investigative reporters can verify I'd be more inclined to believe.

yes but... I mean, I said this before, therefore it's true.

In all seriousness, *something* forced Biden to drop out when he clearly did not want to. The coupists were all saying "It's happening on Sunday, we're writing the speech he'll give" and Biden, plainly, was unaware of this schedule they'd made for him.

So what changed?

the 25th Amendment threat changed.

It makes sense.

The fact that it makes sense does not mean it's true.

But it all making sense is a reason to consider this a live possibility. What is the alternative narrative that explains the confident predictions that Biden is leaving on Sunday while Biden kept saying he wassh in the racshe until the end?


CNN, doing it's gaslighting thing 5 days ago after Trump's NC rally:

"The bosses, they said, 'Either you get out, or we're going to throw you out using the 25th Amendment,'" Trump said in prepared remarks opening his rally. While there's no evidence to back up Trump's wild claim about Biden, it is a verifiable fact that Trump's own Cabinet considered the idea of using the 25th Amendment against him in 2021."

53 Bottom line: the United States is a garbage tier dictatorship and the people who hold office* are irrelevant puppets with no power. This is the actual reason Trump, who easily could have been flattered and co-opted, freaked out the Ruling Class's managers in the administrative state.

Hence, the United States has no moral or ethical authority to lecture Venezuela, Iran, or anyone else.

Age is not a reason, unless you're trying to either cut a commercial for Kamala or agitate for Vance to replace Trump at the top of the ticket.

I'd laugh if they actually convinced mushhead that the 25th no longer said what it clearly says. Section 4's pretty clear on the back-and-forth that must take place if they try to remove a President, and he doesn't agree that he's unable to carry out the duties of the office. Good luck to get a 2/3 majority of both houses to vote to agree. That doesn't happen all that often.

Posted by: Huck Follywood at July 30, 2024 12:33 PM (xbXsQ)

87 Here's why I don't really believe the 25th thing. Here's the text of Section 4:

"Thereafter, when the President transmits to the President ... of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his ...declaration that no inability exists, he shall resume the powers ... of his office unless the Vice President and a majority of either the principal officers of the executive department ..., transmit within four days to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives their written declaration that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office. Thereupon Congress shall decide the issue, ..., determin[ing] by two-thirds vote of both Houses that the President is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, the Vice President shall continue to discharge the same as Acting President; otherwise, the President shall resume the powers and duties of his office."

That doesn't lead Biden getting kicked out. That leads to a political shitshow that I don't think anyone really wanted. Biden (Jill) would have probably known that it all ends with Biden still president.

96 HarrisX/Harvard poll just dropped.

Trump 48
Harris 45
Undecided 7

Before people get wrapped up in the fact this poll was Trump +7 against Biden, pay attention to the partisan split.

D/R/I 40/30/25

Imagine how Trump is doing with Independents to be winning by 3 in a D+10 poll. Election day will NOT be D+10. At best it will be even and likely R+.

This is not necessarily a poll where they put their thumb on the scale, HarrisX has been doing pretty good. This is classic response bias where Democrats are very eager to answer polls. This is a hard thing for pollsters to adjust for and often have to just wait for things to settle down.

But a Trump +3 nationally will result in 340+ EVs, regardless of the D/R/I.

118 Hersh is not historically a great source because he relies on so many unnamed officials and contacts, but everywhere KH goes these questions should be asked of her. If it's not true she can deny it straight up, but if it is and she lies or hedges it will be the kind of gotcha journalism that is actually useful.

I think one of Trump's main attacks should be "You knew he wasn't able to function as President for months and years but you said nothing? Why would you do that? Why would you lie to the American public?"

If her laughs have been uncomfortable now, watch them after a few of these questions.

The Senate USSS hearing is a shit show. The Acting SS Director a is a combative shit once he gets pressed beyond "gee we messed but will do better once we have martinis and handout medals." Cruz and Hawley lit his sorry ass up.

124 I wonder how Biden's endorsement of Kamala fits into this. I would think that Biden would not want to endorse Kamala if she was threatening to use the 25th Amendment. But Biden did endorse her. Was it his or Jill's way of getting back at Obama? Maybe he endorsed her to sabotage the party because he disliked the rest of the party more than he disliked Kamala. Or maybe it was just Biden stupidly doubling down again, because he can never make a mistake and he selected Kamala as VP so she must be the best candidate.

The whole Biden family is loathsome and criminal. That is what was appealing to the Deep State--their chains could be jerked at any time. Obama was knee deep in illegal activities such as spying on his political opponents, illegal campaign contributions (one of the charges in Nixon's impeachment btw), and probably adjacent to political violence (His name was Seth Rich). His tendency to enjoy buggery was on the table as well.

159 Yup. They were losing potential voters to the conservative side.

"If this is true -- and I believe strongly that it is -- then 1, it's a coup, and 2, Biden should not be president now. If they had the votes to declare him incapacitated and incapable of being president, then he is incapacitated and incapable of being president right now. Not in January 2025, but right now."

It's true. "The Twenty-fifth Amendment (Amendment XXV) to the United States Constitution addresses issues related to presidential succession and disability. It clarifies that the vice president becomes president if the president dies, resigns, or is removed from office through impeachment."

And so it's not just Ukraine and/or Venezuela, both of which also have citizens eligible for U.S. Humanitarian Parole (in addition to Afghans, Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, and many more.)

162 I don't believe this. Why would Joey Shitbrains all of a sudden be scared of 25A? That's almost impossible to pull off in practice. Joe is dumb but he knows this.

Oh this was a coup. But it didn't go down like that. Shitbrains never consciously decided to relent and drop out. He was incapacitated that weekend, whether due to covid (unlikely) or a stroke or some other serious condition (very likely).

The coupers saw their chance. They took it. While Shitbrains was incapacitated, they took in on themselves to announce that he was pulling out. By the time he was conscious again, it was way too late.

I'll bet large sums of money this was the way it went down.

165 You have to look at it from this perspective:

If Biden steps down now and Harris takes over, then anything she does will have to be from the Center. However, if Biden stays in without concern for re-election or any accountability for that matter, it gives him free reign to ram radical Obama like executive orders down our throats for five months. That's why Biden was talking smack about changing the make-up of the Supreme Court yesterday. He's going to salt the earth and likely be a bit spiteful and vindictive in the process.

That is to say nothing of the radical advisors around him who are likely finished in politics and will spearhead their favorite pet projects. The next 5 months are going to suck Lizzos a$$.

Moment of hubris where Joe thought the implosion would be immediate, forgetting how the Dems are expert at coalescence. If he was out there saying Kamala is a ding dong and he has tried so hard to pull her along but she won’t listen, etc. that would throw this into a tailspin.

Not necessarily. Communism doesn't look so appealing after you find out that the leaders stole billions from the state and left you starving.

Posted by: whig at July 30, 2024 12:41 PM (qdbNv)

171 I wonder how Biden's endorsement of Kamala fits into this. I would think that Biden would not want to endorse Kamala if she was threatening to use the 25th Amendment. But Biden did endorse her. Was it his or Jill's way of getting back at Obama? Maybe he endorsed her to sabotage the party because he disliked the rest of the party more than he disliked Kamala. Or maybe it was just Biden stupidly doubling down again, because he can never make a mistake and he selected Kamala as VP so she must be the best candidate.
Posted by: Dave at July 30, 2024 12:36 PM (nLwaa)


I think it was simpler than that. They couldn't not endorse a black woman (or "black" woman) who was already VP, no matter how clueless and incompetent she might be, so they're just making the best of a bad situation and counting on the lemmings to keep being lemmings.

Not the worst strategy, all things considered.

Trump campaigned in Minnesota while Kacklin' Kamala was in MA, inside, with a small group of would-be donors, desperately trying to convince them, ala Kevin Bacon, that all is well! All on a weekend!

230 Warnings and more warnings: THEY PLAN TO STEAL ELECTION
@marceelias “I think we are going to see mass refusals to certify the election” in November, says Democratic election lawyer Marc Elias. “Everything we are seeing about this election is that the other side is more organized, more ruthless, and more prepared.”

We wouldn't be in this situation if Garland had indicted coup planners. Biden should have replaced him three years ago.

Shortly after TSF lost the election, all across the country decent, honest public officials began being harassed, getting death threats and then thousands of public officials, including election officials quit their jobs to avoid the threats. We do not have adequate laws against hate speech in this country to help law enforcement do its job, but with that said, when was the last time anyone heard Kristen Clarke's name in the news?

If past performance is any indicator of future conduct, Garland ain't up for this fight. Biden needs a wartime consiglieri, one who can smell blood in the water. The response needs to be within the confines of the law and constitution, but utterly ruthless. Arrest them all and sort it out later.

The Senate USSS hearing is a shit show. The Acting SS Director a is a combative shit once he gets pressed beyond "gee we messed but will do better once we have martinis and handout medals." Cruz and Hawley lit his sorry ass up. The gist of the hearing is nobody at the SS owned any responsibility for anything...one senator noted "so the room was in charge" in reference to who was at the meeting where critical decisions were made.

247 The Court has got to throw out the 25th Amendment because it's unConstitutional. It usurps separation of powers and the will of the People to have their own Article II executive.

Article II is supreme to the 25th Amendment.

If you don't like the Constitution there's the Article V Convention of the States.

That's how the slavery issues in the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments should have been dealt with. Slavery was baked in the cake. New Constitution needed to end it. ELSE another amendment could reimpose slavery.

Probably if you were more literate, you'd know that Jesus and Dionysus are actually associated images, as both were subjects of "Hellenistic mystery cults", in a manner of thinking. And frequently equated.

So the injection of Dionysus could be no more than that long-time slur that Jesus is a form of Dionysus (or vice versa).

I never thought this was the working of one person. It's a cabal, the mafia is a good analogy. And it's not just a US thing.

Look around the world. It's not a coincidence that virtually every western country is moving in lockstep on things like open borders, new green deals and transexuals from Transylvania.

I think most have come to terms with the fact the WEF globalists are not a conspiracy theory, they are a conspiracy and they have a huge head start because for far too long most derided anyone who pointed out the obvious as whack jobs.

That's the way I see it, too. I went back and re-read the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution and it takes a helluva lot more muscle to remove a sitting president than any "Big Three" combo. A viable threat of Bidens sitting in Super Max cells is more efficient.

Remember Hersh's account of the Nordstream pipeline sabotage/terrorism? It was just true enough to placate the various interests, but generally a limited hangout. That is what Hersh does: he puts out stories the Deep State wanted to keep bottled up but finally realized something had to be presented. My guess is what happened is far nastier and worse than even the clusterfuck Hersh described.

So, yeah, kind of true but with the really important/horrible parts excised.

Then, there was Biden's immediate endorsement of Harris. If she was going to toss him under the bus, I would expect a spiteful old bastard would have used his final bit of influence to call for the candidate to be decided by the convention. It might not have been àn anti-endorsement, but it would have demonstrated his doubts about Kamala's abilities.

Finally, the Obamas didn't immediately endorse. If the plan was to move on to Kamala, why the hesitation?

380 I believe what happened is Big-wig Dems at the national and state levels convinced enough pledged Biden delegates to personally de-commit in order to stop him getting the nomination. I believe that's what Barky told Biden. I read a story a couple weeks ago of a interview of a DNC rules expert who said there is a 'loophole' for pledged delegates to de-pledge if their candidate is in their opinion no longer viable. Due to health problems, accused/convicted of a serious crime, radically changed on a policy since the primaries and caucuses, and so forth. The DNC official referred to this as the "good conscience" loophole rule for delegates.

The problem for murderous kleptocrats is that no one really loves them. Chavez is long dead and Maduro is simply a functionary buying enough love from the security services to stay in office while busily stealing everything not nailed down.

Kleptocrats are most usually cowards because how are they gonna benefit from their stolen billions in off shore accounts if they are dead.

Even his fellow lefties in South American including his neighbors want his butt out of office possibly for embarrassing them and being a poor neighbor.

Even China and Russia plus Cubans will quail if the people of Venezuela truly want Maduro out in a mass uprising. Discretion is the better part of valor.

Again, I don't think it was so much that the cabal *wanted* Harris; rather, they didn't see a viable alternative. Calling for an open convention would probably have been seen as a repudiation of Harris, and they were not going to risk black voters becoming alienated and sitting things out.

There was no actual enthusiasm for Harris, which probably explains the lack of immediate endorsements. But I think they just decided she was the least bad option.

446 Commies and other nasty dictators in history figured out over time that it is better to have the discontented active ones leave than build a wall and keep them in. Tends to remove a lot of the pressure on the regime.

There's at least a 50% chance our very own junta will intervene militarily to keep Maduro in power if anything happens.


During the election theft in Brazil our junta told the Brazilian military leaders we would intervene if they didn't allow Lula to seize power so I suspect right now the US is officially telling the Venezuelan opposition to stand down.

453 "Weird" is just more focus grouped psy op bs.

Kamala seems "normal" compared to Trump as a first blush. Like when you just look at two people standing there for one whole second.

Trump is a billionaire entrepreneur who sleeps four hours a day. They are all "weird". Kamala is a slithery political operative who's only job is to seem "normal" enough to get away with stabbing you in the back.

It's stupid but they have to try something new on Trump having failed at everything else. It helps that Vance has kind of a creepy face.

I am talking sheer id-brain first blush which is what the Dems are using the convince people. It has nothing to do with reality but is backed by millions of dollars worth of marketing research.

It's probably always been this way, when a story is so strange and unbelievable, the people sorta go "yeah, that's not true," but then the world moves on, and eventually when the "official" narrative is written, anyone who was alive at the time will in time, die off, and those who weren't will be gullible enough to believe it.

Pinochet's reforms started unraveling the minute he lost power because top down never reforms society. Cromwell's ersatz Commonwealth crumbled easily when he died but he changed society so much that Charles II decided not to risk his life like papa challenging Parliament much and his idiot brother James II fled like the little bitch he was when Parliament had enough of his brief reign as a divine ruler. Cromwell's success in the English Civil War led directly to a majority of society supporting Parliament over a king's whims.

That is how you change the politics--you change the society underneath the state.

521 The way that Trump will handle the FBI's questions surrounding his assassination is to simply require them to submit all their questions to his lawyers in writing.

This is the way FBI inquiries are handled when you have legal team that is on the ball and already know or suspect that any and all FBI inquiries can or may go off script or off topic.

524 I’m still not 100% certain Kamala will be the Dem nominee. Her little poll boomlet is over….. when the delegates vote at the convention they can go for anyone. I think it’s likely her, but stranger things have happened (and she’s not popular despite all the sycophantic press gaslighting)

525 The big news revealed today was the USSS immediately erased all of their Comms after the assassination attempt and are refusing to release the chain of command/RACI Matrix for that day or even the security plan.

I've long held the guilty party in the Epstein assassination was whoever staffed the sleeper and the web surfer together for that shift. That person knew something was going to happen that night and to make sure the people that wouldn't notice would be on. That in turn let the two incompetent guards be patsies who literally can't roll over on anyone else - they did that night what they always do.

So here? The person that planned the security at the event is the person that knew there was a good chance of something happening. The FNM and the head of the SS sorta kinda said it was her but I am certain it was not...

529 This is wrong. Amendments specifically modify the Constitution. It's the whole point of their existence. You could have an Amendment which re-wrote Article II in it's entirety and, if ratified, would supersede Article II.

IANAL, but I am a retired NASA engineer who has read extensively in the law over the past 14 years. In my opinion not only are you correct, but NONE of the enabling clauses in the main body, taxation, Interstate Commerce, Necessary and Proper, etc can be used to modify ANY amendment, including any of the Bill of Rights. And yes, congress NEVER had the authority to pass the NFA, or the gun control act of 1968. Etc.

I just think of him as the most popular kid in the politburo.

So, I think he has a lot of sway.

But if I'm going to indulge rumors about behind the scenes, I'm going to recall the report that Obama could not make a decision about taking bin Laden out until Valerie Jarrett was out of town (which is why his security advisors planned it that way).

532 The SS keeps talking about "counter snipers".

It would have been a good thing to have those. Counter snipers sound a lot better than retaliation snipers.

Also: Julie Kelly reports that the SS may be happy with the job they did, but the local authorities are not. There is a lot of guilt and stress in Pittsburgh from LEs who don't think they got the job done.

Thus: Feds vs. People outside the DC bubble.

3)Biden "recovers from Covid!!!!" is loaded with dope and throws his hat back in the ring.

4) Joe wins on the next ballot! He's the Comeback Kid Crotchy Old Geezer.

5) Kamala is axed cuz she's a backstabbing bitch.

6) The guy the DimElite really want in becomes VP.

7) Joe "has an accident" or the Dims cheat and win.

Joe is replaced almost immediately.

543 Then, there was Biden's immediate endorsement of Harris. If she was going to toss him under the bus, I would expect a spiteful old bastard would have used his final bit of influence to call for the candidate to be decided by the convention. It might not have been àn anti-endorsement, but it would have demonstrated his doubts about Kamala's abilities.

Finally, the Obamas didn't immediately endorse. If the plan was to move on to Kamala, why the hesitation?
Posted by: tankdemon at July 30, 2024 01:03 PM (8sNBp)

But it wasn't an immediate endorsement by Biden. It was in a second letter on Twitter following the dropping of the campaign. This implies that there might have been different senders for the two, or the second as a reaction from having to release the first.

And it kind of fits that the sort of people running this would forget about Harris while concentrating on Biden and Jill. They are equally careless in everything they had done. And they seemed flummoxed for a few days afterward.

Posted by: LCMS Rulz! at July 30, 2024 02:17 PM (oWFSx)

548 Maybe some inquisitive reporter could ask Harris if she was ready to invoke the 25th Amendment. Ask very penetratively, from every angle, so she can’t avoid the answer except by (which will be her first and probably last inclination) lying.

And ask the rest of the Democrats involved - Pelosi, Jeffries, Obama, Schumer, everyone.

Posted by: David at July 30, 2024 02:29 PM (qsqk7)

549 I don't understand why anybody believes that Biden himself had anything to do the his letter saying he was dropping out of the race.

They put it out there FOR him, basically daring him to say, "No, that was a fraud!" To say that, he would have had to admit that he was not in control.

It was DAYS after that before he was capable of saying ANYTHING.

So, no, I don't think ol' Joe caved to threats by "the big three" and Obama. These idiots actually think this made for a good COVER STORY vs what they ACTUALLY did.

Posted by: MrExcitement at July 30, 2024 02:34 PM (hOOi9)

550 I'll keep asking:
How is it a coup if they use a constitutionally provided method?

Even if they threaten it? It's still a perfectly proper measure of persuasion. And, after all, Biden is as much in charge as he ever was. "We'll impeach you if you don't resign" is also not a coup. And whatever method is used, if it's just to convince him not to run for another term, it's still not a coup.

You keep using that word. I don't think that word means what you think it means.

554 What happens when a person with Parkinson's catches COVID?

The biggest thing - their symptoms accelerate. What might have been a stage 3 patient suddenly acts like stage 4.

That is what happened to Biden - he caught COVID, and his existing symptoms for Parkinsons accelerated. Everyone got a glimpse of what Biden would look like in six months and freaked. THAT was when they decided to invoke the 25th.
