Biden Regime: 'Liberal World Order' Is More Important Than Cheap Gas
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
The Biden White House admitted on Thursday that record-high gas prices are part of a broader scheme to usher in the "liberal world order" at Americans' expense.
On CNN, Biden's director of the National Economic Council, Brian Deese, made clear that high gas prices are a part of the plan, as the administration promotes prohibitively expensive electric vehicles to struggling consumers.
"What do you say to those families who say, 'Listen, we can't afford to pay $4.85 a gallon for months if not years. It's just not sustainable'?" the CNN host asked.
"What you heard from the president today was a clear articulation of the stakes," Deese said. "This is about the future of the liberal world order and we have to stand firm."

Deese was referring to Joe Biden's comments at the NATO summit in Madrid, after one reporter asked the president, "How long is it fair to expect American drivers and drivers around the world to pay that premium for this war?" in reference to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which only spiked prices that were already elevated long before the war started.
"As long as it takes," Biden said.
Deese then highlighted the administration's efforts to "blunt" rising gas prices, including proposals for global price caps on Russian oil and a temporary gas tax holiday. Such policy maneuvers, however, are unlikely to make a difference without more oil and gas production in the United States, operations the White House has continued to shut down.
In May, Biden's Department of the Interior killed plans for major oil and gas projects across the country from Alaska to the Gulf of Mexico. When the administration announced the resumption of new oil and gas leases on federal lands to comply with a court order, the White House did so with a 50 percent spike in royalties while offering only 20 percent of the land initially nominated for exploration.
Other administration officials have left no room for doubt about their intentions, which has choked investment in the capital- and labor-intensive industry.
"President Biden remains absolutely committed to not moving forward with additional drilling on public lands," White House climate adviser Gina McCarthy pledged on MSNBC.
Meanwhile, the president's proposed break on federal gas taxes is a gimmick that will only offer more revenues for corporate sellers, who are able to pocket the savings as gas prices remain dictated by the open market and driven higher by the government-induced scarcity.
Deese also said the White House was "engaged with the industry" to increase oil and gas supplies and bring refinery capacity back online. But as the administration shutters down oil and gas operations, Biden also shut down plans for a major refinery in the U.S. Virgin Islands two months ago. Five refineries have closed down operations since 2020, with few prospects of reopening under an administration that has followed through on its pledge to regulate the industry out of business.

It is now on the record.
His focus on the "Liberal World Order" relates at least somewhat to a sorry attempt to compete with China's Belt and Road Initiative with a new way to spend billions of dollars of American taxpayers' money on what is called The Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment instead of using that money to counter inflation in the USA or other purposes that would benefit the American people. I wonder if the nations he will be trying to convince to choose America will be amused by his useless attempt to contain China just as the ASEAN members were (but I'm sure those nations will be happy to get YOUR money).
Your pro-China bias is showing . This so called liberal world order is neither new or a project of Joe Biden. It is the post ww2 international system of co-operation to prevent a third world war or a new round of colonialism. Every American president since Truman has agreed to this "liberal world order".
Completely agree.
Please show where the current administration has "continued to shut down" current oil and gas production in the US.
I maintain that the article is lying and conflating several different uses of the word "liberal" with the supposed aim of making their dear readers foam at the mouth and chant "LIBERALS" in a demented and somewhat amusing display of ignorance.
So... Biden actually said "liberal world order"?
The "liberal world order" has existed for almost 80 years. It is also called sensible international relations.
Leave it to The Federalist to make a conspiracy theory out of reality.
If the 'liberal world order' was intended to be 'sensible international relations' then explain Korea, Vietnam, Cuba, Iran, Central America, Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, and many more. The liberal world order has become nothing more than global military/industrial coordination to support global authoritarian central planning that is completely separated from the people being governed. The liberal world order is not about democracy. The liberal world order is about establishing a global autocratic empire.
In fact, democracy is the greatest threat to the liberal world order. People imposing their objectives and priorities onto governments and government policy through a democratic process does not align with global autocratic sensibility. Autocratic global planning must exert control over objectives and priorities in order to plan. Democratic interference with autocratic control over objectives and priorities weakens the liberal world order.
The liberal world order has been built upon military/industrial coordination, establishing global authority that is separated (and isolated) from people being governed, and has required absolute control over objectives and priorities imposed upon the people being governed.
And what it boils down to is the word "control".
Expensive gas doesn’t affect the liberal elites in charge of this movement.
Put them in power at your own expense.
Literally.
trumpster world order: cheap gas is more important than democracy.
Lol .... typical nonsensical comment considering .... [deleted]
Bidenista world view:
Nothing is more important than progressive liberals' wants.
Let's have high inflation, high gas prices, for-all-practical-purposes an open border, government support for illegal aliens, transgendered 'athletes' stealing women's thunder in sports, sexual reassignment surgery for minors (with or without parental consent), trophies for all.
What could possibly go wrong?
... and the oil companies are all in whose political corner?
You should boycott their products.
I am sure they would prefer to support candidates who aren't going to try and put them out of business, who don't publicly bitch about them, and who will tax them less, have auctions when they are supposed to, etc.
Calling them basically unpatriotic won't endear them to the idiot who stated it.
And all the products made from petroleum

Biden's and the liberals ave screwed this country up all to hell and the would like to "F" up the rest of the world to. They must and will be stopped in 2022 midterms and the 2024 presidential elections.
meh, we'll probably all be ankle deep in thumper soup before that happens. /s
I'll try to remind you of the ridiculousness of your comment the day after the midterms.
Pack a lunch .....
I'll put you on the short list for my used AR sales, only been dropped once...
when confronted by a thumper.
probably not, they'll be too busy making soup in the local madrasa'...
I was referring to the gun you said was only dropped once.
When confronted by a real live thumper.
The premise of the seeded article is a hoax. The "liberal world order" is not a jackass conspiracy theory as the article hopes, it is a reality of the way international relations have been carried out for almost 80 years. There have been 6 Republican US presidents (prior to Trump) since WW2 and every one of them subscribed to this "liberal world order". Do you have anything to say about the hoax seeded article?
No one will need it to take care of loudmouth, big chicken dinner eating mofo’s but the thought is appreciate I’m sure.
Keyboard warrior strikes again.
Talking shit knowing that if the day ever comes he will eat his own bullet; that is if he isn't too busy shitting bricks begging for his life.
yeah, I'll be busy all right...
cheering the spontaneous redecoration of xtian nationalist churches, watching insurrectionists rot in prison, and laughing as their supporters succumb to psychotic paranoia by looking over their shoulders for the rest of their lives. while they blow their assets on more guns than they can hold at one time, and fruitlessly preparing for a reality their policies have created for decades.
Try following the conversation just a little.
Try.
Sorry, your Utopia has been put on hold.
Don't think your dream scenario will be any closer after the midterms, either.
Sorry, not sorry.
When someone uses the phrase, "liberal world order," they don't mean tax and spend liberalism. They don't mean transgender education in pre-k. They don't mean a regime of affirmative action.
What they mean is government founded upon the principles of The Enlightenment. You know, all that Jeffersonian Democracy that you gun nuts never shut up about but don't seem to know the first thing about.
Russia is a beacon of the exact opposite in this world. Russia is authoritarian, imperial, brutal, and corrupt. Property rights hardly exist in Russia and there is very little legal recourse for business dealings that go awry. Russia is using its military to take what it wants from its neighbors.
Russia is not our friend.
Explain how the United Nations, World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and World Trade Organization are democratic institutions founded on the principles of Enlightenment.
Explain how the Liberal World Order prevented a regional war, contained in Ukraine, from metastasizing into a global burden requiring sacrifices by people around the world.
Explain how the global rush to increase military/industrial coordination and increase government expenditures on weapons has expanded peace and prosperity around the world.
The "liberal world order" has nothing in particular to do with Joe Biden, although the lying seeded article pretends it does.
What? We're not supposed to discuss the seeded article?
And where did I mention Joe Biden? The seeded article makes a connection between Joe Biden and the Liberal World Order. But the focus of attention is still on that Liberal World Order. The connection made by the seeded article raises a question of whether or not defending (or expanding) the Liberal World Order is an appropriate policy and course of action.
Does the Liberal World Order really do what is claimed? Is Joe Biden on the right track or the wrong track?
More denial ..... just like denying the existence of TDS..
Adam Smith.
More of you not knowing what you are talking about.
Nah, now you’re just projecting.
Sad ....
principles of The Enlightenment.
Oh brother.
Your eyes roll at the thought of Enlightenment Principles being at the core of America's founding and journey to being first among equals in the present world order?
Geez, what third world nation did you go to HS in..Texas?
OIL. Cheap gas. Freedom. And the rest of it too. Soon, $3.75 a gallon gas will be considered cheap.
Oil is more than just a commodity and the Saudi Crown Prince knows it. Oil is power and the nation's controlled by the weak will assure that that power rules over them.
There are better ways to get from point A to point B.
As far as the price of oil, the goal of The West must be to put Putin in the position where he is begging to sell his oil for $50 a barrel. Where are the F-16s?
Name one.
We were doing pretty good until Biden cancelled trump's executive orders concerning energy. We were not only energy independent we were a net exporter of energy and gas prices were much, much lower.
Can't answer the question eh!
"A man must know his limitations." C. Eastwood. That is for you.
No offense, but can you name the main industrial power source before steam?
Trump's executive orders? You mean the Keystone Pipeline that will be completed in 2032---assuming the Native Americans permit the encroachments on their lands.
Gee arkpdx, do you ever tire of carrying Putin's water?
I guess you could say that if you are wealthy enough to pay $90,000 for a new EV or pay less for one then pay $20,000 to replace the batteries that are not recyclable and will pollute the planet. That is not to mention the pollution and environmental damage done during the mining and refining of the materials used to make those batteries. Don't forget the environmental damage cause by making the electricity to charge them or to obtain the copper to manufacture and string the copper wires to get the electricity to your EV.
Is that really a better alternative.
Depends on the industry. In some cases it was moving water as in the water wheel turning gears and pullies. In some others it was wind power.. and in others it was horses and other animals.
So what do you suggest? Burn the non renewables until you get ocean front property in Memphis?
As with all things there are plusses and minuses with electric vehicles. People will be mining all of those resources to support our insatiable appetite for energy and gizmos. I think that long term the footprint will be much less overall using point of use and locally derived renewable resources than depending on an energy marketplace that spans the globe and is subject to the vagaries of several uncontrollable factors, the least of which is definitely not the human ability to get pissed off.
I have no suggestions. I also have no issues with using electric vehicles or renewable energy just stop going on about how good they are. Renewables are not necessarily better just different. As far as climate change is concerned, I think that the planet is warming and has been for the last 15,000 years or so since the last ice age. Itis to me the height of arrogance to think man has any blame for it or can have any effect on it. It is a natural cycle of earth and has been since the beginning.

Biden has done more to enrich Putin in less than two years than Trump did in four years total. And yet Trump is the Russian stooge.
Putin is laughing his as off at Biden and his worker drones
No. Putin is not laughing. He is excluded from world markets. He is losing hundreds of soldiers a day. He is losing dozens of military hardware pieces a day. Tens of thousands of Russians have fled the country. The Russian government is dancing very close to an economic default. The Russian Army is experiencing the highest desertion rates ever. Putin has arrested many of his former deputies and several more have fled to the US, Germany, France, Poland, Finland and other nations.
No. Putin is not laughing. All he has are dead soldiers, the Griner girl and a couple of other American and foreign political prisoners.
I ask you also. Do you never tire of carrying Putin's water?
Lol .... yeah, he’s laughing at Biden and his supporters. He does love his useful idiots after all.
But if it helps, keep thinking it’s everyone else carrying Putin’s water when it’s really you.
Scrooge McPutin, counting all the money he’s made under Biden’s watch ....
Every day that the US comes closer to complete economic collapse Putin is laughing his ass off at Democrats and Biden. Who are not only doing nothing to stave off the collapse; but saturating the system with more money to crank up the inflation; and bring about it sooner.
Yet somehow he is still winning. Russia isn't the one screaming for more money, more weapons, and more of everything from the US and NATO. Haven't heard Russia bitching about losing hundreds of troops a day- but Ukraine sure as shit is.
Mr Podolyak's suggestion that 100 to 200 Ukrainian soldiers are dying each day is higher than previous estimates. On Thursday, Ukraine's Defence Minister, Oleksii Reznikov, said Ukraine was losing 100 soldiers a day, and 500 more were injured.
Who is winning the war?
But hey, maybe Russia is just bluffing? Maybe they aren't going to do what they always do and pound the living shit out of Ukraine infrastructure and people until the losses become too great.
Biden willing to take in the best and brightest of them. Sure there are no sleeper agents among those fleeing. By the way- Putin doesn't give a shit about his people. He never has.
When? Will it be before the US economy collapses and takes the rest of the world with it? Did you see where China is snapping up Russian oil as fast as it can? Despite Biden pressuring- because no gives a shit about Brandon.
Still has more than enough to get the job done in Ukraine.
Putin is still in charge. This is called cleaning house. Removing threats to his regime. As much as Democrats think Russia is going to convert- they are heading for even a bigger Soviet type hard liner should Putin fall.
He has Democrats and leftists cheering on the economic collapse of the US. He couldn't ask for more useful idiots.
We all ask you, why do Democrats and leftists hate the US so much?
Ahhh, another keyboard warrior. You going to go fight in WWIII? Or are you expecting everyone else to die for your BS?
There it is. There you have it. Doesn't say much for sacrificing your leg for your country, does it?
Damn those Karen's.
Karens? More like dried up olde Aunt Lydias...
My sister sure likes her yarn company.
