Will the Cannibals Sue Biden? By Charles Taylor (Florida)
I have a Democrat friend who is almost a free thinker, apart from believing that Trump is a Deep State plant. He admits that Biden is getting too old to serve, but denies that he is senile. But the latest story gave him pause, as Biden told one of his famous stories, off the cuff, of his uncle who was a World War II pilot who was shot down over Papua New Guinea and eaten by cannibals. A great story, one that is expected from those losing their marbles, only it never happened. And that is not fake news, as many sources confirm it.
And to put the matter into the domain of the theatre of the absurd, academics from Papua New Guinea have said that the cannibals are fussy and do not eat just any old white guy who falls from the sky. It is suggested that they sue, which is a grand idea!
"Academics from Papua New Guinea say that the actual cannibals who live there would be extremely offended by Joe Biden's made up story of his uncle being eaten by them during World War Two because they "wouldn't just eat any white men that fell from the sky."
As we highlighted earlier this week, Biden twice told the completely made-up story as a way of attacking Donald Trump.
In reality his uncle wasn't a reconnaissance pilot, wasn't shot down over Papua New Guinea and definitely wasn't eaten by cannibals.
It didn't prevent the White House Press Secretary from doing her best to avoid admitting it was all lies, and calling it a "very proud" moment for Biden, before repeating the lie about Trump calling dead US veterans 'losers'.
The story gets more ridiculous, however.
The Guardian now reports that outraged Papua New Guinea academics have blasted Biden's tale as "unacceptable" and "very offensive."
Michael Kabuni, a political science lecturer at the University of Papua New Guinea, explained that cannibalism was historically practiced by some communities only in very specific contexts, such as after the death of a revered community member.
Kabuni noted that the native people only ever engaged in cannibalism as a sign of respect and that locals "wouldn't just eat any white men that fell from the sky."
"Taking it out of context, and implying that your [uncle] jumps out of the plane and somehow we think it's a good meal is unacceptable," Kabuni urged.
Allan Bird, governor of Papua New Guinea's province of East Sepik, said he found Biden's story "hilarious" and was "lost for words."
