The Autopen Scandal: Governance by Machine, Chaos by Design
A landmark investigation by the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project reveals 98% of President Biden’s executive actions bore identical autopen signatures—except his handwritten 2024 election withdrawal letter. The findings, spanning thousands of documents, suggest a presidency outsourced to unelected staffers amid Biden’s cognitive decline:
Key Policies Automated: Critical decisions—including a 2022 abortion access directive and a 2024 order closing federal offices to honor Jimmy Carter—relied on machine-generated signatures.
Vacation-Time Pardons: Six criminals were pardoned via autopen in December 2022 while Biden golfed in the U.S. Virgin Islands.
LNG Export Debacle: “You’re not conducting a study on LNG—you paused it,” a staffer confronted Biden, exposing his unawareness of his own autopen-authorized policies.
The Exception That Stands Out
The lone handwritten signature appears on a document of significant personal and political weight: Biden’s decision to exit the presidential race. Investigators highlighted this anomaly, noting:
“Clearly a different signature…you can see also it is underlined”.
This divergence has fueled scrutiny over whether Biden personally authorized high-stakes policies or delegated this responsibility to aides.
Missouri AG Andrew Bailey has demanded a DOJ investigation, warning: “If true, these actions are unconstitutional and legally void”. Heritage President Kevin Roberts adds: “Who controlled the autopen controlled the presidency”.
Implications for Governance and Accountability
Critics argue that autopen use risks eroding accountability. During a Senate hearing, Congressman Mike Johnson confronted Biden about a paused LNG export study, stating:
“He genuinely did not know what he had signed…This is doing massive damage to our economy, national security”.
Broader Repercussions
Syria Fallout: The investigation ties autopen-authorized policies to chaotic outcomes in Syria, where extremist groups like Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (a rebranded al-Qaeda affiliate) allegedly gained ground post-Assad.
Silent Crisis: Despite reports of sectarian violence and Christian persecution in newly destabilized regions, global institutions and media outlets have largely remained silent
Syria’s Crucifixion: The Human Cost of Robotic Policy
Biden’s autopen-authorized support for regime change in Syria empowered jihadist groups like Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS)—a rebranded al-Qaeda faction—unleashing a genocide against Christians and Alawites:
Christian Annihilation
Massacres: Over 1,500 killed in 72 hours, including hundreds of Christians executed and some even killed during Sunday worship in Latakia.
Cultural Erasure: Ancient churches torched; Bibles burned in public squares; priests like Father Elias Dababneh butchered at altars.
Forced Conversions: Women and children given ultimatums: convert to Islam or face death.
“They’re erasing 2,000 years of Christian legacy. My congregation now meets in bomb shelters.” — Syrian pastor
The lie of “liberation” has birthed a reality where al-Qaeda affiliates rule Damascus, enforcing Sharia law and systematic extermination of “heretics.”
Alawite Extermination
Coastal Bloodbath: Once-safe coastal cities now under HTS rule, with reports of mass graves and systemic rape.
Collective Punishment: Pro-Assad villages like Al-Mukhtariya wiped out — 52 Alawites massacred in a single night.
Child Martyrs: Infants bayoneted as “spawn of the tyrant”; elderly burned alive in retaliation strikes.
“This isn’t collateral damage—it’s evil institutionalized. The blood of martyrs stains Biden’s autopen.”
A Biblical Imperative: Pray Without Ceasing
Scripture compels action:
For Syria’s Christians:
“He will cover you with His feathers… His faithfulness will be your shield” (Psalm 91:4).
Pray: Divine protection for underground churches and Scripture smugglers evading HTS checkpoints.Pray: For God’s shield over underground churches and smuggled Scripture shipments.
“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer” (Romans 12:12).
Act: Fund ministries providing food and medical aid to besieged families.
For Syria’s Alawites:
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted” (Psalm 34:18).
Pray: Comfort for orphans like 12-year-old Miriam, whose parents were executed for refusing conversion.“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay” (Romans 12:19).
Demand: Approach the highest court on earth (the court of Heaven) and demand for justice. Justice for the oppressed. God alone can do this.
For National Leadership:
“If My people humble themselves… I will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Intercede: Wisdom for President Trump to reverse policies enabling genocide; repentance for Biden-era abuses.
Global Silence: While the UN dithers and media yawns, the Body of Christ must roar.
A Moral Reckoning: From DC to Damascus
The autopen scandal transcends politics—it’s a spiritual indictment. As Heritage’s Roberts warns: “Some executive orders may not be legally binding… Wouldn’t it be great if those last-minute pardons are void?”. Yet the greater crisis remains: 1.3 million Syrian Christians displaced, hundreds or maybe more Christians and Alawites, slaughtered in Syria their plight ignored by a complicit global community.
The Hour is Late — What can we do ?
Fast and Pray: Dedicate a day to pray for those being persecuted in Syria now and all over the world. (Esther 4:3).
Demand Transparency: If possible Urge Congress to subpoena autopen logs and Biden aides.
Fund Relief: Support ministries smuggling food, Bibles, and medical aid to besieged towns.
