Biden Suggests Uncle Eaten by ‘Cannibals’ in New Guinea — But Military Says His WWII plane Lost at Sea
New York Post ^ | April 17, 2024 | Steven Nelson

President Biden twice implied Wednesday that his uncle Ambrose Finnegan was eaten by cannibals in New Guinea after his plane went down during World War II — even though military records show that the aircraft disappeared over the Pacific.

“He got shot down in an area where there were a lot of cannibals at the time,” Biden initially told reporters before boarding Air Force One as he departed Scranton, Pa.

“They never recovered his body, but the government went back when I went down there and they checked and found some parts of the plane.” After arriving in Pittsburgh, the 81-year-old president told the same story to United Steelworkers union members. “He got shot down in New Guinea and they never found the body because there used to be — there were a lot of cannibals, for real, in that part of New Guinea,” Biden said.

No. No! Beau was killed fighting hand to hand combat against cannibals trying to protect Joe’s uncle! Happened at Gettysburg. For real! The cannibal bit his hand off and soon after, he was unarmed!

Biden was just reminiscing about an old film, deeply embedded somewhere in the tangles of Alzheimer’s plaques of his brain, “The Day of the Triffids”:

And.....the sharks were acting that way due to climate change.

There is a Kurt Vonnegut short story Bagombo Snuff Box. A man regales family and friends with stories about his adventurous exploits including how he brought back as a souvenir the Bangombo Snuff Box on the mantle after a dangerous escape.
The narrator later lifts up the box and sees a shop label and manufacturer on the bottom. Knows the brags were all false.

Biden’s tall tales are like that.

Great meme.

Little grandchild at family Thanksgiving to mom in next room:
“Mommy, Grandpa is saying all kinds of crazy things again. He’s getting mad when people tell him they aren’t true. You better come quick.”

I thought the same thing. The whole “cannibalism is just racism” trope is stupid.

There was a reason many of the indigenous natives of the Caribbean in 1492 wanted Columbus as an ally. They were terrified of the Caribes, and for good reason.

And Verizzano (yes, the one the New York Bridge was named after) didn’t kill and eat himself in full view of his helpless shipmates.

Papua New Guinea outlawed cannibalism long ago but many areas are so remote one wonders what really goes on.

From another article describing how it was back in the day —
“The dancers pick up speed and their voices rise, spiralling into a frenzy of colour, limbs and sound.

“Then the victims,” Paul says, shouting to be heard, “would have their heads cut off. Their blood would then be poured over the stone so they can tame the spirit of the dead. But the main way to pass on the power and knowledge of the victims was by making brain soup mixed with ginger, cinnamon and bark.”

The performance reaches a crescendo and comes to a heart-pounding end. The dancers are sweet-soaked and exhausted.”
