In His Farewell Address, President Biden Calls on the People to “Keep the Flame and Faith” While Fighting the Coming “Oligarchy of the Tech Industrial Complex”

In his last Oval Office Address as President of the United States, Joe Biden delivered his farewell address, thanking the American People for entrusting him with the American Presidency, calling on them to continue fighting for the American Ideal, ward off the rising Oligarchy of the “Tech Industrial Complex,” and to stay engaged and “keep the flame and faith.”

Echoing President Dwight Eisenhower’s farewell address, Biden warned Americans of an emerging “oligarchy of extreme wealth, power, and influence that threatens our Democracy and a fair shot for everyone to get ahead,” labeling this as the rise of a “tech industrial complex” that is fueled by spewing disinformation while looking to restore a Late Nineteenth Century Gilded Age where yellow journalism thrived, women and minority rights were non existent and the Progressive Era Achievements of the last 115 years were just dreams of muckraking journalists and public servants.

While also reminding the people of all the achievements of the Biden/Harris Administration (The American Rescue Plan, the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, Veterans Health Care Expansion, Seniors receiving lower cost prescription drugs, the largest investment in clean energy legislation, the first gun safety legislation in 30 years, expanded health care markets, and promoting an economic philosophy where everyone gets a fair shot,) the President called for reforms to the American system to strengthen the Republic including:

• 18 year term limits for future Supreme Court Justices.
• Campaign Finance Reform and the end of Dark Money.
• Reforming the tax code to end all vestiges of the failed philosophy of Trickle Down Economics.
• Prohibiting sitting members of Congress to hold and trade stock.
• An amendment taking away immunity from a President for crimes he or she would commit.
• Safeguarding the emerging A.I. technologies by ensuring the American lead in it.

In his concluding remarks, the President called the American People to action, saying that America is always about “possibilities” and the fulfillment of “The America of our dreams is always closer than we think and it’s up to us to make our dreams come true.,” telling them it is “Your turn to stand guard, stay engaged, keep the flame, and keep the faith” and do today what the agents of Progressivism did to the Robber Barrons a century ago.

In a recent ranking by the nations historians, President Biden ranked in the top third of American Chief Executives. His predecessor and successor was dead last.

Paying attention to the Biden/Harris Administration’s achievements, previous speaking events, and tonights address, it is easy to understand why he is in the top third.

He will be missed.

Reacting to the Biden Farewell Address, Arizona Democratic Party Chairwoman Yolanda Bejarano commented in an official statement:

“Following President Biden addressing the nation for the final time from the Oval Office, we thank him for his lifetime of service and recognize the progress he achieved for Arizonans. The Biden-Harris administration championed historic legislation that brought hundreds of thousands of good-paying jobs to Arizona and led the nation out of the health and economic disaster of the coronavirus pandemic. In 2025 and beyond, we will re-elect our incumbent Democrats and Arizona Democrats who will build on this progress, fight against Donald Trump and his corporate interests, and protect the rights of Arizonans.”
