It appears that a big mystery has been solved. The burning question soothed by a revelation. In what was supposed to be the equivalent of a rock star moment turned out to be nothing more than a ghetto version of the game show, “The Price Is Right” with the excitement of artificially inseminating a cat to the folks like myself. Yes, gang, the Democratic Presidential Candidate with Dementia has announced his Vice Presidential Candidate pick, California Senator Kamala Harris (https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2020-08-11/joe-biden-picks-kamala-harris-for-vp-celebrity-reactions). Yes, that Kamala “Headboard” Harris as the former mayor of San Francisco and former lover among others used to call her (https://nypost.com/2020/08/11/kamala-harris-ex-suggests-she-politely-decline-being-bidens-vp/), the one who dropped her 2020 presidential bid back in December 2019. The very one who accused her co-ticket partner, Joe Biden, as a racists and that she believed the women who came forward accusing him of Sexual Misconduct (https://pjmedia.com/election/matt-margolis/2020/08/11/flashback-kamala-harris-said-she-believes-women-who-accuse-joe-biden-of-sexual-misconduct-n777092).
It’s not secret that politics makes for strange bedfellows. Being that it’s 2020, it makes no difference. What makes it more comical is that MSNBC is being accused of “cropping” what appears to have been a script that Joe Biden had during his virtual chat with his newly-announced running mate, Senator Kamala Harris (https://www.foxnews.com/media/msnbc-crops-photo-biden-script-kamala-harris). In a photo released by the Biden campaign, the presumptive Democratic nominee is seen at his desk talking to Kamala Harris on a laptop while holding up an iPhone, though upside down as some observed. However, critics highlighted the sheet of paper lying on the desk that shows a script of why Joe Biden chose his former 2020 rival. Well, no matter what President Trump or VP Pense do or say, the mainstream media is going to say they are old, white racist men attacking a minority woman. Mark my words, this has been the game plan all along since Joe Biden announced he was going to pick a black female as VP running mate. If / When Biden-Harris win the Presidency, Joe will step down for medical reasons (https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution/amendmentxxv) within a year of taking office and this will introduce President Harris to the world. The fight was always here, it’s now revealed its face. Now let me explain what I mean about that.
During the show I done back on May 7th and on the blog (https://thebigjohnshow.com/2020/05/07/are-we-about-to-see-one-hell-of-a-play/), I mentioned “What I can’t shake off my thought train is why (and how) did former US Vice President, Joe Biden, get to be the single player left in the Democratic Party 2020 Presidential race? Out of all the other players in the team, why is it that Joe, with all his gaffs and chaotic stories, is the one who gets the spotlight center stage? I don’t normally like to jump onto the conspiracy bandwagons and I also like to rule out coincidences, but the question remains: Why Joe Biden of all people? Could it be that he is part of a larger plan about to “unmask” sooner rather than later? I ask this because of the four (possibly more) state governors who are in the news more now than 2020 Presidential Candidate Joe Biden, who’s been more quite as of late, due to the whole COVID-19 pandemic going on. “ Well, I think the answer was revealed the other day when California Senator Kamala Harris was announced to have been Presidential Candidate Joe Biden’s’ VP pick (https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/kamala-harris-vp-biden-doug-schoen). Although I am pretty sure most of us expected it to happen eventually, especially after the news media leaked some information about at the end of last month (https://hannity.com/media-room/veep-leak-joe-biden-photographed-with-talking-points-about-senator-kamala-harris/).
But again, I have to ask what if, and I mean a big “IF” the Democratic National Committee decides at the last minute next week to not accept Presidential Candidate Joe Biden as their party’s nominee (https://www.demconvention.com/)? We may now know who they would choose to fill in that spot since Kamala has accepted the VP pick. But who would she pick as her Vice President? At this point, I do not see it be Hillary Clinton or Michelle Obama. I still say they would need some fresh faces, with strong wills, deep roots in the Democratic machine, someone that they could help control the masses because they have proven their leadership under this pandemic. Pause and think who that could be for a moment because there has been several governors who have been very defiant to current President Donald Trump. I would think they would want someone who could make history, perhaps another female as the first Vice President of the United States. To go more with their agenda, perhaps it would be wise to go with another woman who is heavily favored in the LGBTQ movement and another minority? So in short, the Democratic Party could say no to Joe, but yes to Kamala as their Presidential Candidate and then choose another VP on the ticket. However, I don’t see the possibility shown on their website as at this moment they seem gung ho on Biden / Harris ticket (https://democrats.org/2020-2/).
Another point I made on that day was how, at the time, I was noticing something unfolding and something was about to happen that “will most definitely affect the United States of America going forward. If history told us anything, if we learned from the truth without agenda, this might be the start of another major turn in American history. We could be (not saying we are) in what historians would call a “Pre-Revolution”.” Well, that was confirmed when we started seeing the riots in the end of May into early June in the name of George Floyd. Since then, several new key pieces of evidence have come out to the public, including the “leaked footage” of the police camera showing what we already knew, but what we didn’t know is how the police officers handled the situation that was happening (https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/08/04/george-floyds-fatal-arrest-police-bodycam-video-leaked-published/5579845002/). You may be asking “why am I still harping on the death of George Floyd?” Here’s the answer to that question: Because History Rhymes Itself If Not Repeating. Ask yourself three questions:
1) How did the world, much less the country, react in response to the COVID-19 pandemic?
2) Have we all witnessed how applying a little pressure to the economy almost shut us down?
3) Looking at the video and pictures of the cop with his knee on the back of George Floyd seem a little “symbolic” to you?
To answer the first question, most of us self-quarantined / locked ourselves indoors for at least two weeks, as per health officials from all over the world, including the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) and governments agencies. We also stocked up on toilet paper and Lysol instead of food and medical supplies. The one thing that seems to stick out the most during all of this is the constant flow of pressure. I mean in all the right places that have buttons. It’s like when that one person who really gets under your skin who knows all the right buttons to push to make you angry. Doing all the little annoying things that irritate you over time before you finally yell out “ENOUGH!!” and you either backhand that song of a biscuit or you dig your fingernails a little deeper while biting your tough, tasting your own blood trying not to be the bad guy in front of the world. Before COVID-19 was released in China, we at The Big John Show, were telling you to be prepared for what was shaping up to be one hell of a ride during this election year. No one could have thought of this a year ago. No one person would have considered what we’ve all been through as a single possibility. We were telling you to go to Preparewithbigjohn.com (www.preparewithbigjohn.com) and stock up on your food supply BEFORE anyone was reporting that Wuhan BioSafety Laboratory, a Level-4 facility (https://pharma-industry-review.com/biosafety-level-4-laboratory-wuhan-institute-of-virology-china). To put in into perspective, AIDS is only a Level-2 threat (http://www.bu.edu/researchsupport/safety/rohp/agent-information-sheets/human-immunodeficiency-virus-hiv-agent-information-sheet/).
This is a bit off tangent, but to give you a better understanding of the International BioSafety Standards, A Biological Safety Level (BSL 1, 2, 3, or 4) is assigned to a biological lab as a safeguard to protect laboratory personnel, as well as the surrounding environment and community. With research into potential treatments, therapies and vaccines for the SARS-CoV-2 virus (known widely as the COVID-19 Coronavirus), many institutions and laboratories are wondering whether their equipment and lab are considered safe to contain samples of the virus without another incident like in Wuhan. Airborne transmissible diseases like COVID-19 are typically categorized as Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3). BSL-3 laboratories are almost always purpose-constructed containment laboratories, outfitted with specialized equipment and HVAC systems designed to ensure no airborne particles can exit the contained space (https://www.cdc.gov/cpr/infographics/biosafety.htm). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) sets lab levels as a way of exhibiting specific controls for the containment of microbes and biological agents. Each lab level builds upon on the previous level, thereby creating layer upon layer of constraints and barriers. These lab levels are determined by:
- Risks related to containment
- Severity of infection
- Transmissibility
- Nature of the work conducted
- Origin of the microbe
- Agent in question
- Route of exposure
The reason biosafety levels are so important is because they dictate the type of work practices that are allowed to take place in a lab setting. They also heavily influence the overall design of the facility in question, as well as the type of specialized safety equipment used within it. So with all this in mind, it’s a wonder how COVID-19 was able to escape freely throughout China before eventually across the world. I know people were traveling around on trips, causing interactions with people and making it easy to spread around virtually undetected until medical personnel started seeing a pattern of sicknesses around the globe. Once detected, researchers putting two and two together decided the correct answer was four, but what do we do next exactly? Put on a mask and goggles and stay in your homes.
Now, back on topic and to answer question number two: Have we all witnessed how applying a little pressure to the economy almost shut us down? The answer to that should be obvious. With the whole COVID-19 pandemic hovering over our heads constantly, it seems more like an psychological exercise as well. We’ve seen businesses close their doors permanently while families constantly stress about where are they going to live when the first of the month arrives. If you are not in one of the industries that are deemed “essential” or an “essential worker”, they you might have to do a little teleconferencing with your colleagues each work day. For the rest of us who aren’t getting a retirement check of some kind, we have to depend on the federal government to cut us a check each week or month just to get by as before. If you are lucky, you get a weekly paycheck because you either chose to stay home because you get more money or it’s because your job actually cut back on employees. However, I will say that 2020 has become an excuse for some of the laziest people. Some of us didn’t get to use our stimulus checks to buy big screen TV’s, video games, or take fancy quarantined trips because we had to use it to pay our monthly bills since we can’t get hired for a job.
Third question: Looking at the video and pictures of the cop with his knee on the back of George Floyd seem a little “symbolic” to you (https://apnews.com/0eeb28e505231ce153c60559c921f5d3)? That’s a little deep and would require a little explanation to fully understand. For me, the short answer is “yes”. To you, it might not be, but I invite you to read the book written by George Orwell called “1984”. The book was first published by Secker & Warburg and released on June 08, 1949. I’ve talked about this before, but George Orwell wrote in the book what he believed was a warning to what he saw as a fast corporatizing / socializing / authoriatarianizing / totalitarianizing world. Although, the movie version done on BBC, called “Orwell: A Life in Pictures” had a very interesting piece added to it: “In our world, there will be no emotions except fear, rage, triumph, and self-abasement. The sex instinct will be eradicated. We shall abolish the orgasm. There will be no loyalty except loyalty to the Party. But always there will be the intoxication of power. Always, at every moment, there will be the thrill of victory, the sensation of trampling on an enemy who’s helpless. If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face, forever. The moral to be drawn from this dangerous nightmare situation is a simple one: don’t let it happen. It depends on you.” It’s not about paranoia, wearing a tin foil hat, or craziness. Although the 2020 experience has been anything but sane, I would consider COVID-19 as the boot to the face. No other excuse has been used that would have this much effect over the United States economy.
By the way, while we are sort of on the subject, here’s a quick update on the George Floyd murder case: Minnesota State prosecutors have rejected an argument by a fired Minneapolis police officer charged in George Floyd’s death that the 37-year-old was just a rookie overridden by a senior officer at the scene. Prosecutors opposed the fired officer’s motion to be dismissed from the case. Officer Thomas Lane is charged with aiding and abetting both second-degree murder and manslaughter in Floyd’s death. The defense contends that he was only on the job four days when Floyd died after veteran Officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee against the handcuffed George Floyd’s neck for nearly eight minutes on May 25th as George repeatedly said he could not breathe (https://www.twincities.com/2020/08/11/prosecutors-reject-rookie-argument-by-ex-cop-in-george-floyd-death/).
Another strange event happened this week that I think marks a notch in the chaos timeline: President Trump was abruptly pulled from briefing after Secret Service opens fire outside White House (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-escorted-briefing-shooting-white-house/). The Secret Service confirmed a male suspect had been shot and taken to a local hospital, and said a Secret Service officer had also been hospitalized. The Secret Service said in a statement that a 51-year-old man approached a Secret Service officer and said he had a weapon. The man then ran at the officer and crouched down in a “shooter’s stance” after taking something out of his clothing. The suspect was shot in the torso by the officer and both were taken to the hospital. “At no time during this incident was the White House complex breached or were any protectees in danger,” the Secret Service tweeted (https://twitter.com/SecretService/status/1292973332552396800). However, do you really think the Secret Service will really say all the details like who, what, when, where, or why? When I watch the press conference as it happened live, I couldn’t tell if it was a stunt to get the President out of the presser or it was related to what he said last week at another press conference at a Whirlpool Corporation manufacturing plant in Clyde, Ohio. He said “So I have a lot of enemies out there. This may be the last time you’ll see me for a while. A lot of very, very rich enemies, but they are not happy with what I’m doing. But I figure we have one chance to do it, and no other President is going to do what I do. No other President would do a favored nations, a rebate, a buy from other nations at much less cost. Nobody. And there are a lot of unhappy people, and they’re very rich people, and they’re very unhappy” (https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-whirlpool-corporation-manufacturing-plant/). Part of me was thinking this was related to the shooting outside The White House. Just so the whack jobs out there are wondering, the United States Secret Service will shoot twice in the chest and once in the head to “stop” the threat. So before you get any ideas, I would think of at least four good reasons to die for before pulling any kind of stunt involving the Secret Service, Vice President, or the President of the United States.
Just like the democrats on the House Judiciary Committee who grilled Attorney General, William Barr, a couple of weeks ago (https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/barr-testimony-live-updates-ag-faces-questions-2020/story?id=72029139), I would like to simply say “I reclaim my time” and just go back to December 31, 2019 at 11:59pm and tell everyone to prepare for what is coming because it is almost unbelievable. Then again, if I didn’t believe it myself, I seriously doubt anyone else would believe it without having experienced it themselves. We can talk about everything that’s going on right now at this very moment and some of it is still hard to believe, even when we see it before our very eyes. Again, I give you all that information to think about something really important and I know it’s a lot to process with all that’s going on. Don’t second guess the whole ordeal. We are experiencing a war on ideologies ranging from Black Lives Matter to Marxism to what to do with preventing the spread of COVID-19. Remember, if you don’t wear a mask, the Mask-holes will come at you with a great vengeance and furious anger, and mouth full of profanity about your parents, you, and your family. For those of you who keep drinking the Kool-aid, stay thirsty. For those who believe in fighting for the United States Constitution, keep your powder dry!
