**** Biden to transfer power to Harris while he gets colonoscopy
By Brett Samuels - 11/19/21 09:28 AM EST

President Biden will temporarily transfer power to Vice President
Harris on Friday as he goes under anesthesia for a routine
colonoscopy.

Biden will get the procedure done at Walter Reed Medical Center as
part of his annual physical, White House press secretary Jen Psaki
said in a statement.

"As was the case when President George W. Bush had the same procedure
in 2002 and 2007, and following the process set out in the
Constitution, President Biden will transfer power to the Vice
President for the brief period of time when he is under anesthesia,"
Psaki said. "The Vice President will work from her office in the West
Wing during this time."

** 19-Nov-2021 anesthesia

My mother was doing fine until about age 85 when she had an operation
with general anesthesia.

When she work up, she had instant Alheimers. When I fully realized
what had happened to her, it was one of the saddest days of my life.

The saddest day of my life will always be--even if there is a nuclear war--the day my mother had a second stroke in a week and was left severely brain damaged. The nightmare of sitting (and sleeping next to) my brain damaged mother in the hospital is still something which haunts me. I sincerely believe that my mother is Heaven and waiting for me on the other side.

I am sorry that you had to go through that, John. I think I understand a little of what it was like for you.

I'm sorry to hear that. I took care of my grandmother with Alzheimer's before she was institutionalized and it's hard. My own mother is now at that age and showing precursor signs. I have children so they're now my priority for making it through the crisis and I don't look forward to seeing what happens to her and all those who will suffer.

I think that's wishful thinking. I'm not sure how he can ditch her, though she's certainly as incompetent as anyone I've ever seen. When Clinton got hammered in 1994, he did a reorg, got rid of some inept people and triangulated. He had some good advisors and listened to them.. Biden's entire cabinet seems inept - each one in their own unique way. I see no evidence of anyone in any position of influence around him capable of giving him pragmatic advise. If they somehow got rid of Harris, they would feel obligated to replace her with another diversity candidate.

Reading what you wrote gave me a moment of hope that some sanity could return.. but I just can't see it. I can't see Biden having the humility to accept he needs a VP that could replace him. I don't see anyone able to influence Biden to do something reasonable.

Regards,
Jack.
Jack,

I agree with you. I would like to be optimistic, but its getting pretty hard. It would be a near miracle if she is replaced with someone competent, so maybe it comes down to a Republican super majority in both houses, or some kind of rational "national unity party" once war starts and Biden/Harris screw it up badly from the get go.
Is it possible that our leadership is compromised enough that we'll abandon the Western Pacific and downgrade significantly? It seems like a possibility, although maybe small, given our trajectory.

Yesterday, Alexander Lukashenko sat down for an interview with the BBC. During the interview, Lukashenko stated that it's "absolutely possible" that the Belarusian military is helping migrants cross into Poland, but that he "won't even look into this."

To me, this comes off as a de facto admission that the Polish-Belarusian border crisis is indeed an act of hybrid warfare.

On another note, the Polish-Belarusian border crisis is widely seen as Belarus' retaliation for the West's support for anti-Lukashenko protest movements. Meanwhile, Lukashenko and his supporters have maintained that this support amounts to an attempted "color revolution" which would, if successful, overthrow the Belarusian government and replace it with a Western puppet. If those accusations are true, then then the border crisis is a textbook example of both sides of a conflict acting recklessly to the detriment of world peace.

This in turn makes me wonder about the US, China, and the origin of COVID. While I still suspect that COVID originated in American lab and not a Chinese one, I've still been open to the possibility that it did originate in a Chinese lab after all. Consider the fact that while gain-of-function research was reauthorized in January 2017 and it's very likely that the most advanced/deadly version of the virus was/is inside an American lab, it's not even close to clear which version of the virus was released. If it was an earlier, less advanced/deadly version of the virus, then it's possible if not likely that it came from a Chinese lab after all.

But if the virus did come from a Chinese lab, then what would its motive be? Let's go back to Lukashenko's response to the anti-regime protests in Belarus, and how reckless that was. The CCP is reckless, just like the US government. But just how reckless is the CCP? Is it as reckless as Lukashenko (I do believe the US government is that reckless, but this the CCP we're talking about here)? If it is, then it wouldn't be out of character for the CCP, especially during a crisis era, to do something like unleashing COVID on the world in response what it saw as an attempted "color revolution" in Hong Kong, which "coincidentally" was taking place in the months immediately preceding the opening stages of the pandemic.

Thoughts?

Europe imposed sanctions on Belarus because of a clearly rigged
election, and because Lukashenko ordered an ordinary passenger
airliner to a forced landing in Minsk, so that Belarusan forces could
board the plane and forcibly arrest an anti-government journalist and
his girlfriend. Lukashenko ordered the border crisis with Poland in
retaliation. Lukashenko is a monster, and of course he'll blame
America and the West for anything, because he knows that useful idiots
in the West will believe anything he says.

You've really put together a masterpice conspiracy theory, connecting
dots from Belarus to Wuhan in a bizarre explanation to support Chinese
state media propaganda, blaming the United States for the Wuhan
Coronavirus. Couldn't you also have found a way to work Cuba and
Venezuela into the conspiracy theory?

I assume that you're endorsing the Chinese state media assertion that
the virus was developed at a lab at Fort Detrick in Maryland and then
inserted into the Wuhan fish market. While there is plenty of
evidence that the virus originated in Wuhan, and plenty of
circumstantial evidence, including whistleblowers, that the virus
originated in the Wuhan Virology Lab and escaped, there is absolutely
not one shred of evidence nor any whistleblower that I'm aware of
supporting the Chinese state media claim. It's simply a made-up
claim, like some of the claims being made by Lukashenko. When a
foreign leader commits the worst criminal activity in a country with
no free press, then it's always convenient to blame America, because
the criminal leaders know that people like you will parrot them and
even create nonsense conspiracy theories.

The claim that the virus was developed at a lab at Fort Detrick in
Maryland and then inserted into the Wuhan fish market is ridiculous,
but even if it's true, it doesn't change the fact that China is
criminally responsible for spreading ir around the world.

I've written about this in the past. The Chinese destroyed their
Wuhan laboratory virus and sample database in the middle of the night
on September 12, 2019, with no explanation. So the virus was
beginning to spread in Wuhan by September 12, and the CCP knew it.

Whether the release into Wuhan was accidental or intentional, by
Chinese or Americans, there was nothing accidental about what happened
next. These were completely intentional acts by the Chinese. Starting
in December 2019, the CCP encouraged, even demanded, travel between
Wuhan and 180 different countries, while forbidding travel between
Wuhan and elsewhere in China. I recall that Iran was particularly
victimized by the Chinese demands that Iranian clerics continue
traveling between Wuhan and Iran.

The CCP compounded the crime by lying about the virus's
transmissibility, by getting their WHO puppet to confirm their lies,
and by sending people around the world to buy up all commercially
available PPE (gowns, masks, etc.) so that it would be unavailable to
medical personnel in other countries.

Politically, the CCP quickly took credit for being the first country
to beat the virus. Xi Jinping gave several speeches declaring this a
major war that China had won before any other country.

All of this was intentional and criminal.

So believe whatever nonsense you want from Chinese state media, but
there is no question but that the Wuhan Cornavirus was purposely
spread to countries around the world in a criminal act.

John,

What's your view on Fauci? Is he not part of the criminal conspiracy? I'm curious to see what you think. Did you ever read the SPARS document (Johns Hopkins) by the way? Gates is talking about smallpox now, interesting (and I mean bad when I say that word)....

John, I believe you underestimate just how insane the US government really is. It’s just as insane as the CCP, if not more so. BOTH governments have the capacity to carry out something like COVID, as demonstrates by, among a bajillion other things, the fact that BOTH governments were involved in the gain of function program which led to its creation.

As for meddling in the internal affairs of Belarus and Hong Kong, the US has a history of doing things like that, going back to the late 1940s.

So regardless of who did it, the culprit did it out of a desire to “own” the other side, with wanton disregard for how the rest of the world would be affected.
