TRUMP FACE-OFF WITH W.H.O.

"If the World Health Organization does not commit to major substantive improvements within the next 30 days, I will make my temporary freeze of United States funding to the World Health Organization permanent and reconsider our membership in the organization." - President Donald John Trump.

CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWN: LIFT THE LOCKDOWN, REOPEN AMERICA NOW.

ICHEOKU says it is easy to say stay the course with the continued lockdown of the country when you are privileged to work from home. If you are a talking head on television pontificating the imperativeness of remain sheltered because of your guaranteed income, it is also easy. If you are part of the Hollywood crowd whose bank accounts are busting to the seams and you have no difficulty meeting your monthly obligations on bill payments, it is also easy. Other rich fellows equally can stay sheltered until thy kingdom of vaccine comes as they can afford to do so. But when your ability to feed your family and also meet other monthly bills obligations, including rents, electricity, insurances is greatly encumbered by the shelter in place and you cannot do your job from home and needs to get out, move around for work in order to earn your living, then the country should have been reopened since many moons ago. 

People need to earn money to sustain their livelihood and it is increasingly becoming very difficult to do this remaining quarantined. The $1200 stimulus check was spent upfront before they even arrived as people borrowed on it. It was not even enough for one month's rent for those who had it intact when it arrived, talkless of now three months arrears of rents, feeding and other incidental expenses majority of Americans are faced with from month to month. As the president appositely said, the cure should not be far worse than the disease, but it is somewhat proving itself to be true as many people are now wondering if there was any merit in even shutting down the country in the first place. Thousands of people died regardless and it is possible that around the same number of people would have died anyway had the country stayed open. ICHEOKU says it is very doubtful if those making the rule even understand what majority of American people are going through, otherwise nobody would have contemplated any extended lockdown. 

The primary reason for the initial lockdown of the country was to ensure that hospitals are not overwhelmed but not that the coronavirus disease goes away or that people are no longer infected or die anymore. They had insisted that the curve must first flatten before the shutdown can be lifted; but now that the pandemonium created has been controlled with flattened curve and the hospitals were not overwhelmed, they have shifted the narrative to first finding a cure and/or vaccine before reopening the country. ICHEOKU is emphatic that at the rate this people are going to shift the goalpost that even if a vaccine or cure was found today, they will insist that all the 360 million Americans first get vaccinated before the country reopens. Now, the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said that there might never be a vaccine for the coronavirus and the retort is, does that mean that the countries of the world, including America will never be reopened ever again. 

Being alive is a risk unto itself and there are other things which kill people including cancer, accidents, drug overdoses, suicides and homicides. All every sane person prays for is the ability to cope with living amidst some tolerable risks that could be reasonably managed, not a risk-free life. The coronavirus has done its worse as medical science and health practitioners now have a better understanding on handling it. This now makes it a tolerable risk which everyone can and should be prepared to adjust to and live with. Therefore the country should be reopened as the contract with Americans for which Americans yielded to the shutdown instruction, was that the country will come back to business once the coronavirus pandemic submits to a reasonable management. Contracts are entered with the expectation that parties thereto will honor their part of the bargain by keeping to its letters. American people have performed their part and now is for the authorities to also do their part by completely lifting the lockdown. 

The pain and suffering is getting unbearably too much and anyone still advocating for a continued lockdown is heartless and merciless. People are dying; children are starving; bills are piling up and domestic violence is rising as frustrated parents can no longer stand each other's inability to put food on the table. A matter made worse because there is no time definite when the lockdown will be completely lifted, making planing extremely difficult. The bad news is that many of those insisting on extended lockdown cannot survive for one week on the monthly wage being earned by the working poor of America. They do not understand what the dire situation is really like, with no food in the stomach; the reason they sound so oafish with their statements. None of them have helped pay for the rent, food and/or other bills for those under the water of the continued lockdown. They are not in their shoes and have no idea what the suffering in the country really feels like. 

Anyway, suffice it to say that the initial purpose of the shelter in place have been achieved, hospitals were not overwhelmed and the nation now have a better understanding of how to reasonably manage the coronavirus. Personal hygiene, masks and social distancing where possible are ways to keep the coronavirus at bay. Also, we now know that the elderly and the very sick are more susceptible to the disease and measures can be put in place to safeguard them. So, the nation can get back to its daily business now in order to save whatever remains of the economy and prevent it from going a complete belly up. Let the vulnerable be protected, let the infected be hospitalized and treated; and let those who are healthy and able return to their jobs immediately. Enough of the damage being inflicted on America, its society, psychology and economy, end the lockdown now. #ReopenAmericaNow!

BORIS JOHNSON ALERT: NO VACCINE IN SIGHT FOR CORONAVIRUS.

"I must be frank with you that a coronavirus vaccine might not ever come to fruition. So, we need to find other ways to control the coronavirus." - Boris Johnson, British Prime Minister.

CORONAVIRUS, A DECLARED WAR BY CHINA: WILL AMERICA RESPOND?

ICHEOKU says is a full blown out shooting war with China the answer to the destruction of America's economy by China, alongside thousands of lives lost to the Chinese Wuhan coronavirus disease. If not, how else will America make China pay for what they did, which has cost America and the entire world so dearly both in human and economic loss. A shooting war with China is the most emphatic way to tell China that enough is enough and that the world is tired of their shenanigans and will not tolerate them anymore. 

But the main question bordering many people, who ordinarily favors a war with China, is whether American people have the appetite to stomach yet another war now and against a military power like China. Also, can America afford the cost of such a war, both in resources and loss of lives, aware that it will be a very costly military campaign if America were to achieve a timely victory and get it over with asap. War is a costly undertaking as witnessed in Iraq and Afghanistan and other past wars; and the cost of the two recent wars will pale in comparison to what will be required to wage an effective campaign against China. But if American people refuse to be mobilized for such a military venture, how else will America make China pay for what they did and to compensate America for the untoward economic and human loss suffered by reason of the coronavirus disease. 

ICHEOKU says China's culpability for which they ought to be punished stems from the fact that they knew that the disease is very deadly and highly contagious but hid it from the rest of the world, while they stockpiled protective and safety products to protect their own citizens while leaving the rest of the world's population at the mercy of the coronavirus. China also allowed people from Wuhan, the epicenter of the coronavirus, to freely travel to other parts of the world but blocked them from traveling to other parts of China. They thus safe guarded the rest of their population and economic interests in China, while they let the rest of the world burn and languish under the onslaught of the coronavirus. Why would China do this, if not that they intentionally desired the outcome suffered by the world as a result of the deadly surprise they unleashed on the world. 

It is arguable that because of this two direct actions, failure to warn and permission for Wuhan Chinese to travel to other parts of the world, China intentionally infected the world with the coronavirus. Therefore China is guilty as sin for the damage caused by their action which is tantamount to a declaration of war. As a result, many people were killed and huge economic destruction was inflicted, thereby meeting the two cardinal consequences of a war. A war which China declared and which the world must respond to without any further ado or delay in order to maintain their honor, protect their citizens, defend their way of life and also secure their livelihood. So, the question is not necessarily whether their action and inaction amounts to a declaration of war because it does. The only question is whether America can mobilize her citizens as well as the world to fight China. Now will be a good time to fight a war with China as anti China passion is so high among so many people, both Americans and the rest of the world seeking for a revenge. 

ICHEOKU says but will the world support America and form a united coalition of the coronavirus-devastated people to fight China. Will these countries have the stomach to fight a war and remain resolute therein until China is submitted and humbled into signing a peace treaty on terms to be spelt out by a victorious world. But how many casualties will be tolerable for a world, especially Europe, which now seem to lack the will to fight wars. Will they persist until a victory is achieved? A victory which will include forcing China to sign an undertaking to transform itself into a responsible global citizen, which conforms to international rules of good behavior as a member of the global community in good standing. Also following a successful campaign, the world could demand for the partition of China into five or three smaller manageable countries which will help  prevent any such future threatening China from ever emerging again. 

ICHEOKU says these and many more questions should be occupying the minds of the leaders in Washington DC as they contemplate how best to respond to the attack by China, which has claimed thousands of American lives and destroyed America's economy, alongside that of the rest of the world. Globally, hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost, millions of people have been infected and dying and millions of jobs have been lost in various economies facing existential challenge of immense magnitude. Nothing short of a concerted response punishing China will gratify restless citizens throughout the world, who are demanding answers from their leaders and want to see China bloodied for what they did to the world. Or is this too much to asked for as letting China go scot-free is not an option, otherwise they will do it again having learnt no lesson for what they already did. 

But will President Donald John Trump take the bait, especially in an election year where his campaign main talking point and argument for a reelection, a once booming economy, has now been completely obliterated by China. Such a war with China will be good as it will be a pay back to China for what they did and also a helpful boost to the reelection chances of the president on November 3rd, 2020. As is customary, American people do not usually vote out a sitting president in times of war and such a war with China will help rally the nation behind the president. Also, the war effort will help the economy regain momentum as ratcheted-up war production and added logistics will help create jobs which will help absorb the millions of people left jobless by the coronavirus. 

China has proved themselves not to be a friend of America or the West in general. They have also shown their hands as one not to be trusted to safeguard the lives and economies of the West. Imagine their hiding such a devastating virus outbreak and exposing America and the rest of the world to its deadly consequences, while they loaded up to protect their own citizens. With a friend like China, America does not need an enemy and neither does the world. A response is the right thing to do. It is either America destroys the Chinese economy and kill thousands of Chinese people too using a clandestine virus attack or achieve the same result through an open direct military confrontation. But whatever happens, a no response is unacceptable. 

Enough of the Chinese intransigences, too many viruses coming out of China is simply no longer unacceptable. They cheat, they repress their people and they do not play fair and in conformity with the standards of civilized behavior. They manipulate everything to gain unfair advantage against other countries including their currency. They pretend to be a nascent developing nation when they send rockets to space and land rovers on the moon, building skyscrapers, bridges, viaducts and complex road networks everywhere in their country, Their train system is about the fastest there is anywhere in the world, yet they are a developing country. If China is a developing country, which country then is qualified to be a developed country, when those supposedly developed countries cannot even compete with China in terms of technological advancements and infrastructural developments. 

Who is fooling who, if ICHEOKU may ask or will the Western countries continue to delude themselves while China continuously eats their lunch in every sphere of life including science, medicine, agriculture, technology and engineering. Very soon they will also take over international finance and lets see how the Western world will fair then. China is fully developed and it is for the West to confront them now that they have genuine reason to so do or continue to play the fiddle as they await an assured Chinese take over of the world. They have the population and once they can back it up with enough weapons, they will swarm the world into obedience and forcefully, if they have to. But if the pre-coronavirus trade war was any indicator, the outcome of a real shooting war now is fairly known. Therefore, it might be a good thing to think about seriously with the only question being whether the world is willing to engage and on whose side will Russia be.

CENSORSHIP ALERT!

"THE CORONAVIRUS DEBATE: TO OPEN OR NOT TO OPEN THE COUNTRY?"

ICHEOKU says Google deleted my article titled above which canvassed the reopening of the country since the primary objective of flattening the curve has been achieved and it turned out that the coronavirus can be reasonably managed. ICHEOKU finds such despotic censorship intolerable and wants the article restored. That such censorship will be happening in America, a supposed land of the free with free expression is rather spooky. They want to enforce a one cap fits all opinion on every American and such viewpoint neutral is not healthy for any society. It is sad.

ON NOVEMBER 3RD 2020: TRUMP WINS DESPITE ALL THE DISTRACTIONS.

ICHEOKU says he was coasting to an assured reelection victory with the booming economy until the coronavirus pandemic shocked and slowed down his prospect. But he has acquitted himself reasonable well with the fight against the coronavirus that it will no longer fatally affect his reelection chances. So with the economy somewhat out of the way and no longer the principal determinant of the November election, two other key issues have taken its place - China and the Deep State. 

The global domination ambition of China and the unfolding corruption in the FBI and the greater Justice Department engineered by the Deep State are two major things which American people will like to see dealt with decisively. American people will like to see a president who will take on China head-on, contain them and make them pay for what they did to America and the world with the coronavirus attack. They will also want to get to the root of the unfolding corruption in the Justice Department and the FBI and see that needed reforms are carried out and measures put in place to prevent any such corruption in the future. 

So, the question facing voters in November 3rd, 2020 will be which of the two candidates, President Donald John Trump and former Vice President Joseph Robinette Biden, will execute the two tasks more effectively and efficiently; in addition to rebuilding an economy on bended knees. The answer to this question will determine who wins the White House this November. 

ICHEOKU says still banks on President Donald John Trump to win his reelection as the odds strongly still favors him, barring any unforeseen debilitating event that might throw spanner in the works against him. Joe Biden is simply not it, as he does not give anybody any confidence nor is he reassuring. He is simply too tired and famished to constitute any serious challenge to the president, admitted that a more viable candidate would have given the president a run for his money. 

So, on November 3rd, 2020, ICHEOKU will be voting to reelect President Donald John Trump for a second term. He is still energetic; he still loves America and he still fights passionately for America. VOTE 4 TRUMP and vote to continue the agenda Make America Great Again. VOTE 4 TRUMP and vote to continue cleaning houses at DOJ/FBI. VOTE 4 TRUMP and vote to stop China cold from its globalist agenda. Obama/Biden were rejected in 2016 and so will Biden/Obama be rejected again in 2020. #Vote4Trump.

DR ANTHONY FAUCI: HIS TIME HAS PASSED, NEEDS TO GO.

ICHEOKU says he is only human in flesh and blood and not a superhuman and at 80 years old, is ordinarily supposed to be a in nursing home not at the NIAID making decisions about Americans microbic wellbeing. Although he still looks great for an octogenarian, but  any other person in any other profession would have since retired. So why not him or has he become so indispensable with America's virology that America cannot do without him. 

From all indications, especially through this hellish coronavirus, it is discernible that the law of diminishing returns have set in with Dr Fauci. His best days of making sound decisions about America's infectious health are obviously over and anything going forward is but an egotistic second best act. The doctor was great while it lasted, but after serving under six presidents, Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama and now Trump, it is time for another person to take over the steering wheel at the NIAID. Dr Fauci is apparently on the decline and no longer his former self as he has for the most part, not got any of his predictions right since the outbreak of the Chinese Wuhan coronavirus disease. So, why should Americans still be listening to what he has to say about the coronavirus as the oracle of pandemics. 

ICHEOKU has nothing against Dr Fauci, only that his days are since past and it is time to try a new head and not continue to rely on one steeped in the old ways and pattern of doing things since 1984. A child born when Dr Fauci started directing the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases is now a fully grown man with family, yet Dr Fauci is still at his desk? So, what will it take for him to retire or has more than 82,000 coronavirus killed dead Americans, largely in part because of his wrongly analyzed coronavirus response, not enough deficit already to quicken his exit from the NIAID and every other advisory positions he occupies in the government, including the Coronavirus Presidential Task Force. It is about time Americans face the reality of Dr Fauci's eventual mortality and learn to reorder their lives and preparedness against viral diseases away from his leadership. 

Dr Fauci did his best during his heydays but he is no longer on top of his game; not since after all the wrong projections he made during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic which has made America more vulnerable today than it was three months ago. A lot of infections, a lot of deaths and the economy has completely collapsed, all because the government was following his advise. If he could get nearly everything wrong as it turned out he did, what then is the point still having him around and listening to what else he has to say about a novel disease which everybody's learning curve is nearly about the same. ICHEOKU says it is time to let Dr Anthony Stephen Fauci retire and go enjoy his sunset years in peace. It is either he goes or he should be forced out. Even the best army general usually retires someday, so why not Dr Fauci. He came, he saw and he used to conquer, but not any more. An 80 year old man deserves a well earned retirement.

THE HEAT IS ON: OBAMA CRITICIZES TRUMP'S HANDLING OF CORONAVIRUS.

“What we’re fighting against is these long-term trends in which being selfish, being tribal, being divided, and seeing others as an enemy — that has become a stronger impulse in American life. And by the way, we’re seeing that internationally as well. It’s part of the reason why the response to this global crisis has been so anemic and spotty. It would have been bad even with the best of governments. It has been an absolute chaotic disaster when that mindset — of ‘what’s in it for me’ and ‘to heck with everybody else’ — when that mindset is operationalized in our government." - Barack Hussein Obama. 

ICHEOKU says what took the former president so long. Nearly three months after the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic crisis and he suddenly just decided to comment on how the war against the contagion has been fought so far by the Trump administration. It must be the pressure he is under right now as a result of the latest developments on the Russian Collusion investigation. It is possible that Barack Obama, sensing that the net is fast closing in on him, decided to lash out, hoping to distract the focus and sway American people that he is on their side. Hopefully, the William Barr's DOJ will not be persuaded nor dissuaded; and will remain laser-focused on the task to unearth all the deeds that were done badly by both the FBI and the greater Justice Department with the Russian Collusion. 

On Obama's promise to spend as much time as necessary and campaigning as hard as he can for Joe Biden, ICHEOKU maintains that a jockey is only as good as the horse and the Joe Biden horse cannot first make the finish line, regardless. Moreso, the 2016 election was a referendum on Obama/Biden administration and American people voted to go a different way. So, it does not matter how hard Obama campaigns for Biden, Biden has to do the convincing of American people, but so far, there is no assurance that he will deliver on this. 

Lastly, if according to Barack Obama the rule of law in the country is at risk because a wrong done to General Michael Flynn was remedied, what then does he call the James Comey's illegality in sending two FBI officials to go interview Michael Flynn in the White House outside the prescribed protocol. What does he call the FISA warrants that were obtained illegally without disclosing to the FISA court the methods with which the accompanying dossier were obtained. Anyway, very soon American people will know who  indeed, actually attacked the rule of law and put it at risk. Obama investigated Trump and now that Trump is investigating him, he is seeking to distract Americans from the illegalities of his administration, framing up Flynn and manufacturing a non existent Russian Collusion crisis. But hey, he doesn't take lightly to receiving what he dished out to others.

ROD ROSENSTEIN: THE WORST OF THEM ALL, DANGEROUS AND DUBIOUS.

ICHEOKU says he knew all along that the Russian Collusion was founded on a baseless falsehood, yet he sanctioned and supervised its investigation anyway. With a friend like Rod Rosenstein, President Donald John Trump does not need an enemy. A treacherous fella who might even be worse than James Comey, afterall he wanted to wear a wire to entrap the president and get him removed from office under the color of unsound mind, using the 25th Amendment. This 25th Amendment matter, joking or not, was simply an intolerable complicity. Rod Rosenstein also knowingly signed one of the FISA warrant, fully aware that it was baseless but he signed it anyway. 

ICHEOKU urges Americans who ordinarily do not want to vote for President Donald John Trump on November 3rd, 2020 or who have not made up their minds on who to vote for or who were not even thinking of such possibility, to factor in the rot that is being uncovered in the Justice Department and FBI going forward. It has been going on for some time now and since it is only the president that decided to tackle it, he must be given ample time to clean up the Augean stable. The president will need more than the remaining seven months to get the job done, so only his reelection will get the mission accomplished. Imagine the rot inside the America's premier law enforcement bureau and many people have suffered from such frame up and selective witch hunting over the years. 

Rod Rosenstein was the acting Attorney General who supervised the Mueller investigation following Jeffrey Session's recusal. So, if anyone knew what was going on therein then, he definitely was the person. Now that it has been established that all his underlings knew about it, he too is affixed by virtue of his position with such knowledge as well. But he pretended otherwise and proceeded to waste the nation's time and resources chasing shadows. He pretended to be on the side of justice but he was only beheading lady justice. He was an enemy within who was part of the collusion against the president, yet pretended loyalty. Such enemies are dangerous and Rosenstien was dangerously so close the Trump's administration that he would have brought it down if not that William Barr was appointed the Attorney General and he effectively took charge of affairs. In short, Rod Rosenstein was worse than James Comey, at least James Comey never pretended to love the president, unlike Rosenstein who was simply serpentine.

Rod Rosenstein tendered his resignation letter after he had assured the president the previous year that he was on the president's team and that the special counsel’s investigation would treat the president fairly. Rosenstein had said to the president, “I give the investigation credibility. I can land the plane" and followed it up with the then Chief of Staff with, "I can go. I’m ready to go. I can resign. But I don’t want to go out with a tweet.” Meanwhile, all the time preceding his resignation and while he presided over the Muller Russian Collusion investigation, he knew that there was no merit or basis in fact or law to warrant the investigation but continued anyway. He pretended that Robert Muller 's investigation could unearth something and continued to grant it more powers as he carried on with his scheme for the president to fall into a perjury trap; or to goad him to fire the Special Counsel so that the president can be impeached for that. 

This is the same guy who wrote the memo recommending the firing of James Comey, based on which the president fired James Comey. The firing of James Comey was the obstruction of justice part of the investigation by the Special Counsel which Rod Rosenstein empaneled. So, having recommended the firing of James Comey, why did he allow the obstruction of justice charge to be included when he knew the president did not obstruct any justice but had only acted on the memo which Rosenstein sent to him. Also, that would have automatically made him a witness, but he hung in there as acting Attorney General in charge of the same investigation's supervision. ICHEOKU says a person has never been as this conflicted as Rod Rosenstien was in the matter of the Bob Muller's Russian Collusion investigation. He wrote the memo but failed to disclose the part which he played himself in festering the corrupt conspiracy which nearly overthrew a duly elected president of the United States of America. 

ICHEOKU says according to Rod Rosenstein, his then Justice Department and the FBI kept the faith, followed the rules and always put America first. But evolving evidence now tells a different story of a conniving and contriving, double-dealing insider, who threw others under the bus and played the game of survival until the end. If he followed the rules, why did he proceed with the Russian Collusion when he knew that there was never a collusion between the president and the Russians. If he put America First, why did he allow America to be dragged in the mud of a Russian Collusion for three long years and certainly, he did not keep the faith otherwise he would have not allowed the phony collusion to divide the country as it did. He talked consistently about maintaining the rule of law, but as it has now been shown, his actions directly threatened the rule of law. As one commentator put it, Rod Rosenstein was self-serving, self-protective and filled with ethical compromises and history will not treat him well.

TARA READE: TOO MANY UNEXPLAINED MOVING PARTS IN HER STORY

ICHEOKU says it is quite clear from all the collaborating circumstances that something in fact did happen to Tara Read while she worked for Joe Biden Senate's office back in 1993. But what is not clear however is the level of her complicity in what happened to her. Is it possible that she initially was a willing participant but later changed her mind and tried to back off. Is it possible too that she reached a deal about it, but the other side later reneged on it which turned her into a bitter woman. But will anybody know exactly what happened to her unless the matter is fully litigated in public opinion by Joe Biden granting full access to whatever document she claims evidenced her contemporaneous complaint about the incident. 

ICHEOKU says is somewhat confused on how a 29 year old woman would just stand aloof,  transfixed, as Joe Biden had his way with her as she described it; and for such a long time for him to accomplish all that she said he did without anyone catching them in the act. She did not put up a fight, she did not pushed him off and neither did she scream. According to her narrative, Joe Biden held her, pushed her against the wall, put his hand underneath her skirt and penetrated her with his finger, told her that he wants to fuck her. Continuing, he later kissed her on the neck, told her that she is nothing to him, then held her shoulder as he reassured her that she is okay and alright before picking up his gym bag and then left. Their bodies were so symmetrically aligned that their two foreheads and knees were touching each other, his mouth so close to her that she smelled his breath, body odor and/or fragrance, presupposing that Joe Biden's crutch was also pressed on her pubic area as well. 

From her story, Joe Biden later picked the gym bag from the ground and left, which showed that the gym bag was on the ground while the assault was going on. This automatically freed Tara Reade's both hands, but she wants us to believe that Joe Biden, who also has only two hands, was able to do all these to her without a counteraction by her. While all these sundry list of things were going on, why didn't Tara Reade deploy her own two hands into use immediately, to fight off, push off, craw and scratch her way out from an unwanted invader who also penetrated her private part. All these activities could not have taken place within a millisecond and you wonder why did she tolerate all of them. When Joe Biden did not take the gym bag from her stretched hand and approached closer, why did she not back off or drop the bag and ran away. 

Why did she stand there watching as Joe Biden came close enough to pin her to the wall. What was the level of her complicity in the whole experience which she suffered. Was she wearing a come-on mini skirt which made it so easy for Joe Biden to penetrate her with his finger? Before the incident took place, did she flirt with Joe Biden and possibly confided in some other fellow staffer who decided to facilitate her private meet with Joe Biden by sending her to take Joe Biden's gym bag to him. Was Joe Biden expecting her following an earlier heads-up or did he purposely instruct someone to send her to bring his gym bag to him? There are a lot of missing parts in the whole story, admitted that something transpired, but how, is the missing link. 

Tara Reade was afterall not Joe Biden's personal assistant who the running of such errands would constitute part of her job description. Her own job was managing the interns who worked in Joe Biden's Senate office, so why did she agree to be the gym bag lady. Also, when Joe Biden whispered to her that he wants to fuck her, what was her response? Was she revulsed and reacted accordingly with disgust or did she coyly, wriggle with a smile which Joe Biden possibly interpreted as a come on, thus collaborating what he previously heard that she likes him and wanted them to meet. Tara Reade was a big girl then and would have easily put up a fight to stave off Joe Biden's advances if she had wanted. But she stood there and did nothing while the many things she had described took place, really? It will require the suspension of disbelief to accept that they all happened or at least, not as she had narrated them. 

ICHEOKU is not saying not to believe women, but that her story as told, has a lot of moving parts which made it twisted with dubiousness. It is either she exaggerated and embellished the story of what happened to her or that nothing in fact happened to her and if, not as she told the story. She did not mention whether she was even wearing an underwear at the particular time she took the gym bag to Joe Biden and whether she did anything which suggested to Joe Biden that she was game or confirmed to him that she was indeed interested in him. She did not tell us what her response was when Joe Biden told her that he heard that she likes him and wanted to meet with him. If she did not express such thought to somebody, who probably later arranged the gym bag rendezvous, why then did she not deny it outrightly there to Joe Biden and loudly protest that it was not true. 

Many people are aware that women are generally drawn like magnet to men with money and power. It is also a common knowledge that many young women who go to Washington DC to work for politicians often times chase the opportunity to have personal relationship with these powerful politicians. They see them as a bridge to many things in life and they make no bone about it. Monica Lewinsky was similarly drawn to Bill Clinton before the former president put a move on her. Chandra Levy was also attracted to former California Congressman Gary Condit before she was murdered. ICHEOKU believes that there are also many other women whose dalliances did not commandeer the limelight. The only question really, is what role did Tara Reade play in the whole thing and at 29 years, she was a fully grown adult who knew exactly what she was doing and cannot be held out as an innocent teenager who was taken advantage of by a Washington DC politician.

ADAM SCHIFF: CONCEALMENT OF ABSENCE OF COLLUSION, A MISCONDUCT?

ICHEOKU says is finding it extremely hard to believe that knowingly concealing a fact of consequence and continuing to deceive the American people about a non existent Russia Collusion, is not a misconduct for which a member of Congress should be held accountable. If a lawyer intentionally misleads the court or a prosecutor  deliberately failed to disclose an information that would otherwise help the court reach a different decision, it is held a professional misconduct. 

It is also a professional misconduct for a doctor to lie to a patient and mislead the patient into signing off on a procedure which they would not have, had they been given proper information. So, why is a Congressman not amenable to such professional regulatory dictate for misleading the people who they supposedly represents. Why would there not be consequences for a member of Congress who intentionally propagates a narrative which he is aware is a lie and continuously mislead the people with it for such a long time. Why did Adam Schiff, aware that there was no Russian Collusion, as many top Obama's government officials had disclosed to him, yet he continued with the Russian Collusion narrative. Why would he not suffer some consequences as a result? 

It does not bode well for America's prestige overseas as other countries will now start to look down on America as an equally corrupt place with no moral standing to preach against the corruption in their own respective countries. ICHEOKU says even if Adam Schiff has congressional immunity for what he did, his colleagues should find a away of sanctioning him for bringing disrepute to the Congress. Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi should also consider removing him from his position as Chairman of House Intelligence Committee. Such a low character individual should not be allowed in any position that its occupier is held in high esteem, regardless of party affiliation. What he did is rather unconscionable and he took the nation for a ride for three long years and at a great cost and expenses. 

If Adam Schiff had any honor still left in him, he should resign from the chairmanship of the House Intelligence Committee immediately and probably retire from the Congress. What he did, concealing such a material fact that there was no evidence of any collusion between President Donald John Trump and the Russians, is shameful indeed and should cost him dearly, especially in loss of face and candor. How any constituency would allow such a lying person continue to represent them speaks volume about the constituents. It also  says a lot about the liar who has no scruples in shamelessly misleading the public on a situation which he knew was a hoax but did it anyway. How does he expect anybody to trust him going forward or to believe that politicians are honest people trying hard to get the peoples' business done. It is pitiful. 

DR ANTHONY FAUCI: A LIFETIME APPOINTMENT AT NIAID?

ICHEOKU says occupying a particular position since 1984 as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and nearly 80 years old at 79 years, what will it take for Dr Anthony Fauci to retire or is the position not amenable to the general retirement rules which applies to other public servants. Is the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Disease, of which he is the director for now 36 years not subject to the rules guiding other public institutions on retirement. 

It is a given that the director knows what he is doing at the institute but he will not live forever. There is a need for a seamless leadership succession and continuity at the NIAID, so the government must not wait for him to first succumb to the infirmities of old age before appointing his successor. So in view of his very advanced old age and having since passed the age of retirement, Dr Anthony Fauci ought to have since retired and a new director appointed to head the institute. 

ICHEOKU says short of the then Larry King of CNN's Larry King Live, CBS's 60 Minutes's Andy Rooney and some members of Congress, thought that it was only the Supreme Court Justices that are appointed for life, so what is it with Dr Anthony Stephen Fauci who apparently seems to also be enjoying a life tenure. He was appointed to the position in 1984 when Ronald Reagan was president and since then, four presidents have come and gone and he is still the head of the NIAID. President Donald John Trump is about completing his first term and Dr Fauci is still heading the institute. Something certainly does not look proper and definitely out of place for just one man to be at the headship of the NIAID for such a long time and continuing till date, and now doubles as a member of the White House Coronavirus Task Force. 

ICHEOKU is just curious, trying to understand the reason for his longevity at the institute, including the special circumstances that made it possible for his lasting tenure. Why is the NIAID different from any other public institution whose director or president surrenders to retirement at 65 years. But even if as agreed, Dr Fauci is one of the most trusted medical authority in America and recognized internationally as one of the world's leading medical expert on infectious diseases, will this his expertise never be spent. When will his services no longer be required and will any person ever be allowed to fill his shoes at the NIAID. ICHEOKU does not necessarily have anything against Dr Fauci, except that his stay at the NIAID has been for too long that it is about time he retired or is replaced with a successor. 

Nobody lives forever, he has given it his all and his best, it is time to for the institute to move on and away from Dr Anthony Stephen Fauci and make way for a director not named Fauci. It does not matter how good any person is, if they don't make way, there will never be an opportunity for the better and the best to someday emerge through succession. There is always this chance in life that the new will always be better than the old, but first the old has to move away to make way for the new to move in and prove their mettle. This coronavirus period will be one such good opportune time to allow Dr Anthony Stephen Fauci to retire. So once the flattening of the curve is firmly secured and the spread remains in its downward trajectory, Dr Fauci should take his bow and proceed on his leave, prelude to his retirement. 

At almost 80 years old, Dr Fauci has given all there is for him to give and anyone expecting anything more is being unreasonably too optimistic. There is a season for everything under the sun and he has had his moment under the sun.  Now, the sun has begun to set for Anthony Fauci and he needs to go and enjoy whatever remains of his life in peace, without bordering about the nation or the world being infected by one virus or the other. Dr Fauci has done his job and now is for him to relax and bask in the glory without the headaches of sleepless nights, spent worrying about one virus outbreak or another. ICHEOKU says Dr Anthony Fauci should take his bow of retirement or be asked to proceed on a leave and from there into a career sunset. 

JOE BIDEN'S SEXUAL ASSAULT OF TARA READE: MORE COLLABORATION SURFACES.

ICHEOKU says Tara Reade's ex husband Theodore Dronen wrote in a court declaration in 1996 that Tara Reade told him about “a problem she was having at work regarding sexual harassment, in U.S. Senator Joe Biden’s office. It was obvious that this event had a very traumatic effect on her and that she is still sensitive and effected by it today." 

That was in 1996; in addition to Tara Reade's late mother's own collaboration in her voice from the grave, a 1993 CNN's Larry King Live call in. Tara Reade's neighbor also  recalled Tara telling her about the incident in 1995, as well as her brother's recollection. 

ICHEOKU says what other evidence is Joe Biden still waiting to see, short of the Tara Reade's letter of complaint in his custody, before apologizing and asking for forgiveness. Unless his depreciated mental capacity has clogged his recollection so much that he couldn't recall that the incident took place, in which case a withdrawal from the race for lack of capacity will still be an acceptable apology, ICHEOKU does not see how Joe Biden extricates himself from this scandal. 

FAKE NEWS: WHY THE MEDIA LOST THE BRANDING WAR.

ICHEOKU says the media in America has so far been unable to shake off the moniker   Fake News, which President Donald John Trump gave it and it is not without a reason. The media, instead of just reporting the news and giving out information as it is, and allow the people to decide what they want to do with it or make of it, have become so opinionated. They are agenda driven, they propagandize the people, they insert themselves in the news and sometimes even become the news itself, forcing their jaundiced viewpoint on the people and expects consumers to swallow it as news line, hook and sinker. 

Often times, this their opinion end up being wrong, false or later disproved as incorrect.  But instead of a retraction, apologizing or offering an explanation for why they got the story wrong, they usually double down, insisting that their version of the story is the truth and that the real truth is false or that their "sources" were forced to make a retraction just to make them look bad. This leaves many people wondering what exactly has become  the new objective of the media, which no longer correctly reports stories as they happened, being traditionally a purveyor of news and information; and insists that the consumers gulp down whatever they feed them without question. Why would the consumer not get the whole story, but only gets the subjective story which the media wants them to get.

The media has become so invested in pushing their own opinion that they now dabble into the stories, thriving in disputations and confrontations. Instead of trying to ferret out useful information on the way forward, they always dwell in the past insisting that somebody was once wrong, without finding out what has happened since the last time the person was wrong. Take the current coronavirus crisis for example, the media is always pointing to the previous statements made by the president at the beginning of the crisis, without providing the context of what information was available to the president then when he initially took a position. Whether they expect the president to be a prophet or magician or Nostradamus who sees tomorrow, nobody knows; otherwise how did the media expect the president to get everything right about the coronavirus from the onset. 

But they do not seem to care as they have an agenda which drives their narrative and regardless of all the president's best effort since the first time he opined on the coronavirus, they usually return to the misdeeds at the onset. This behavior is not a purveyor of news as they should be, but a recidivist activist media eager to score cheap points and make the president look bad and incompetent, period. The people are not interested about what was initially got wrong due to the then available information; they are only interested in what is going on presently and plans for the future on how to fix what is a national emergency of immerse proportion. This inability of American media to rise above the fray and report just the news, the present developments, fairly and objectively, is what has made the moniker fake news to stick to them. 

A matter which becomes so laughably pathetic when the person at the receiving end of their distortions is frequently proved to be right and innocent of their smear and propaganda. The American media also frequently reports stories which were unverified and unverifiable, and when later debunked, instead of an apology and retraction, they will simply move on to the next story as if it was not a big deal that they got the story wrong or that somebody suffered damage as a result. It is happening with such frequency that they all cannot be mere accidents or sources which later proved unreliable. Their purpose seems to be clear, a well orchestrated effort to smear, damage, disparage and cause disaffection within the society.

If not on purpose and purely accidental, they will admit to their mistake or that there was an error of judgement in their reporting and apologize for it, or simply retract and correct the falsehood. But they do not, instead they will ignore it or try to be stubbornly defensive about it or simply move on to the next false story. The circle of false stories continues with such frequency that it feels like they purposely make them up as they go and with one objective in mind, just to propagate a predetermined narrative. This failure of mea culpa and their obstinate refusal to admit their mistake, especially where glaringly clear, is what made the moniker FAKE NEWS to stick. They may not like it and wished that it went away, but until they fundamentally changes their manner of reportage, the public will never get back to filly believing everything the media says and at best, will always take it with a grain of salt. 

It is undeniable that the media usually has a dog in the fight in their effort to control any story. They want to always control the story. They want to be the only one informing the public on what is going on and according to their viewpoint, such that when the story does not fit their narrative, they readily tweaks it and sometimes even report another falsehood just to be in charge of information which the people are getting. But this making up of stories and reporting what is not true is simply going too far, as those who expected to be informed on the currency of events by the media, end up being fed rubbish and none existent falsehoods. It is regrettable and it is unfortunate what has become the fate of the media in America, as people no longer trust and believe what they publish as true and correct information, but mere propaganda meant to further a predetermined viewpoint narrative.

If as is widely understood before now that the purpose of the media is to inform and disseminate information, as a correlative, it necessarily follows that they should also issue corrections and retractions when they get things wrong or subsequent developments  ,Ade them being wrong or false. If they fail to do this, it becomes a journalistic malpractice and it continues, it becomes agenda driven and no longer a news outlet since they have abdicated from their primary duty to inform the public. 

The failure to correct such proven false and incorrect story or news, make the media  to be driven by other motive short of dissemination of information. So many media houses in America are guilty of this and it shows in their favorability rating and many people have also since tuned off. Nobody is expecting the media to be always 100% correct all the time, but that they should make effort to get their stories right most of the time and to, when mistakes are made, humbly acknowledge them, apologize and retract the bad story. That way, the public will understand that they are doing their best to inform them correctly and that they have no particular bias on which information they chose to convey, but are only interested in keeping the people informed of developments. 


Reporting unverified and unverifiable falsehoods is what makes the public question the truth of what they hear, read and watch in the media. Why the media have chosen this path to perdition is beyond ICHEOKU's comprehension as the media has been severally caught pants down with false stories. The worse part is their willful indifference to  these falsehood and the damage it is causing to their victims, both the disparaged and the consuming public who end up being misinformed. Of times, when they want to report these fake news, they will claim that anonymous sources told them that such and such happened, and when it pans out not to be true, they will blame it on the so called unnamed sources. 

Reporting fake news has eroded the media credibility so much that so many people no longer believe what they hear or watch in the media. People know and were tired of it but unfortunately seemed to have resigned to their fate of never going to get the media back to what they used to be and without any recourse until President Donald John Trump came around to call them out. The president bravely, boldly and courageously took them on and it has been game on to hold them accountable ever since. Today, this holding of the media accountable has taken on a global dimension as the term FAKE NEWS is now widely used throughout the world to designate an unverifiable and unverified news. But will the media ever recover from the damage to their credibility and believability, nobody knows.  

For example, no media house has ever confronted Hillary Clinton to explain why she has not accepted the result of the 2016 presidential election or asked her that she once complained that then candidate Donald John Trump was threatening our democracy by saying that he will not accept the election result under certain circumstances, what changed? A functioning, unbiased media would have since taken her to task about her apparent hypocrisy, but they all have agendas and unfortunately, it does not include asking Hillary Clinton tough questions. Even when the Democrats falsely claimed that the illegal immigration in the Southern border was a manufactured crisis, the media failed to confront them for some explanation when the invasion became widely obvious. Then add Russian Collusion, Ukrainian impeachment hoax as well as the General Michael Flynn's frame up by James Comey's FBI. It is no longer a quest to ferret out the truth.

Also. no journalist ever played to Democratic Party leaders their reactions during the Bill Clinton's impeachment and asked them to explain why their positions then are not also applicable to the impeachment of President Donald John Trump. It is also surprising that no media ever insisted that what was captured on video of Joe Biden, Charles Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and Jerry Nadal saying then, should remain the same high bar for invoking articles of impeachment during the Trump's impeachment hoax. Except for the terrific Mika Brzezinski's intervention, none of the Democratic Party leaders have yet insisted that women should be believed in the unfolding Joe Biden's Tara Reade's scandal as they all had parroted during the Justice Brett Kavanuagh's blackmail by Dr Christine Blasey Ford.

The American media agenda driven narrative also reared its biased head when Kanye West wore a MAGA hat to the White House. They all went crazy calling him insane and out of his mind and being Uncle Tom for supporting President Donald John Trump. But the same media did not call Kanye crazy when he berated George W. Bush for hating black people during his slow response to Hurricane Katrina victims. Rather, the media reported him as a heroic crusader who was putting the plight of black Americans upfront and center stage of America forum. Also the same Kanye West wasn't insane and crazy when he snatched Taylor Swift's microphone, but he suddenly became an inmate of a lunatic asylum simply because a MAGA hat had messed up with his brain. 

The FAKE NEWS badge of dishonor has now indelibly stuck to the media. It will be very difficult if not impossible to shake it off. It is pitiful and it is sad that the entire media outlet in America conspired to bring this unintended consequences upon themselves by endlessly reporting negatively of the Trump administration. They will not give him credit for anything, including which he did a clear right as the Commander in Chief of the United States armed forces with the taking out ISIS leader Abu Bakr Baghdadi. How does the media think that over 63 million MAGA members who support the president feel, seeing them report only negatively about our beloved president or does it mean that the president has never done anything to earn him a good mention in the media and it is system wide the media. 

If not for bundling of channels, millions of people would have since done away with CNN and MSNBC in particular from their television package. Anyway, when next they complain or have the audacity to say that they are not FAKE NEWS, let them say how many good press they have ever given the president since he won the last election as any objective media would have repeatedly done. Are they saying that the president has never done anything right or they just want to report only the bad stuff. Also why do they get so many stories wrong and why the frequent use of unnamed sources which often turn out to be wrong. It is also instructive that CNN's Jim Acosta forced the cancellation of the White House media briefing; but instead of pointing out his rudeness which led to it, the media  are busy complaining that the president no longer allows the White House Press briefings to hold. It is just sad and the media are shamelessly pitiful but like a tortoise and its shell, fake news has become the shell of the media in America. 

GENERAL FLYNN'S FRAME UP: A SNIPPET OF AMERICA'S JUSTICE SYSTEM.

ICHEOKU says General Michael Flynn's frame up is a microcosm of the underbelly of America's justice system, especially as it appertains to the poor and minorities in America. The same group of people who everything is literary skewed against, including the supposedly one cap fits all justice system. They are poor and cannot afford lawyers and when, a public defender with zero experience and interest in the favorable outcome of their case is appointed to represent them, they do not get the adequate representation necessarily required to grant them a just outcome. 

The result is a skyrocket prison population in America where the poor and minority make up the larger percentage of people behind bars. At least General Flynn has a high profile and the means to get good representation, the reason his case is getting all the headlines and still remaining in the news cycle. It is not necessarily that his was one case that was got wrong because it is not as there are thousands of other cases, including some who have already been executed as a result of frame up obtained wrongful conviction. 

ICHEOKU is not necessarily shocked nor surprised that General Flynn was railroaded as such often happens in America. The only difference is that his was the highest they have gone with such a rogue activity, targeting the National Security Adviser to the president of the United States of America President Donald John Trump. If they could be this brazen, imagine what they have been able to get away with people without name recognition and money in America. It is the rot which little fellas have been forced to put up with in the name of justice and you ask yourself justice for who? It is corruption and it should be condemned by all good intentioned people. 

It did not start with General Michael Flynn nor will it end with him as it is a system wide malfeasance in justice enforcement in America which permeates every strata, from Cities to Counties to States and right up to Federal. Imagine a once revered institution such as the FBI descending so low through the shenanigans of its leaders, just to put an army general away or have him fired from his job. Many people have been forced to give false testimonies that led to execution of people for crimes which they did not commit; so the general got a somewhat fairer treatment compared to what so many others have been forced to put up with, including losing their life. 

ICHEOKU says does not in any way rationalizes what happened to Michael Flynn, but if it helps to draw attention to the rot within the system and sanitizes it, it would have had a positive outcome. Unfortunately, nobody should bet on it because as soon as President Donald John Trump is gone, it will be back to business as usual. The problem is structural and purposed to help the Deep State maintain their vice hold on power. This is the reason Senator Charles Schumer said that the Deep State has seven ways of getting people from Monday through Sunday and the Senator from New York was not kidding.  They selectively choose who to allow to hold certain positions of authority by excluding people they don't like in order to protect and guard their power hold. 

They frame people up for offenses which they did not commit nor were even aware of. Sometimes they even kill people and plant a gun on them, brand them criminals in order to justify killing them. They have threatened fathers, mothers and family members with severe penalties in order to force out false confessions. Stories abound of such extra judicial activities throughout America's justice system. Even drugs have been planted in people's places as well as in their cars and other places under their control just to frame them up. Then think about how they sometimes solve murder cases so rapidly by uprooting one homeless guy and making him the criminally accused person just to satisfy an urgent political need to solve a murder case. 

The litany of abuse in the justice system is legion, only that Michael Flynn's matter is suddenly shining a well deserved light on what has been an underbelly of America's justice system. Unfortunately, many minorities and the poor who have been shouting about the unjust justice system have been largely ignored for the most part. So, it is a somewhat positive that Michael Flynn investigation, which was purely vindictive based on suspicion that Flynn was an agent of Russia engaged in clandestine activity against the United States, is again bringing attention to this. There was no basis in fact or law for his investigation and there was no valid law-enforcement reason for the FBI to interview him, but they did it anyway. James Comey bragged about this impunity on national television. 

They had a recording of the Flynn–Kislyak conversation and they knew exactly what was said, hence did not need to interview Flynn about what he said, except that they had intention to entrap him with a lie should there be any inconsistencies in his recollection. They also knew that no quid pro quo exchanged hands between Flynn and Ambassador Kislyak to warrant any criminal investigation, but they framed him anyway. The two agents James Comey sent to waylay him also knew that Flynn did not lie, yet he was forced by circumstances of financial ruin and threat to prosecute his son to plead guilty, admitting that he had lied when he knew and even the FBI knew that he did not lie. What he went through is not uncommon as many people have lost even their lives as a result of such high handedness by law enforcement. 

All ICHEOKU is saying now is that it be stopped and let the case against Michael Flynn be the catalyst that brought it to a quick end. As for James Comey and his acolytes, there should be a consequential deterrent, otherwise some officials are bound to repeat their roguery in the future. Rogue cops are bad for everyone and James Comey is now the face of these bad cops who ruin it for other good cops. He needs to be isolated and decontaminated in order not to infect other cops. A prosecution, conviction and lengthy prison term will be quiet in order because if ir is Michael Flynn today, for who will the bell toll tomorrow. The entire system could use some sanitizing and the Michael Flynn's case is a good place to start. 

CHINA IS RED AND RED MEANS DANGER: LET'S QUARANTINE CHINA.

ICHEOKU says China is a blood hound and after sucking the blood of its people, it is now sucking the blood of the world through its Wuhan coronavirus. They purposely did not warn the world about the danger posed by the coronavirus and today the result is a devastated world in comatose. Hundreds of thousands of lives lost and the entire world's economy has crashed. #MakeChinaPayAGreatPrice.
