Why Walz?

The choice of Governor Tim Walz as Vice President Harris’s running mate was initially perplexing.  He is from a state that will vote Democrat regardless.  Like Harris he tracks further left than much of America.  For example, he is happy to keep borders open, dope young girls with testosterone, let rioters destroy cities and, if given the opportunity, will take a hammer to the 1^st and 2^nd amendments.  Based on how he has managed Minnesota financially, he brings no talent to the ticket economically.  Nor does he have any foreign policy experience.   Then a light bulb went off and a possible explanation revealed itself. 

In The Circus we examined how the George Floyd phenomena was an orchestrated marketing campaign to shore up the black vote, generate massive campaign donations and increase anti-Trump voter enthusiasm.  It was successful and arguably the ploy that handed thin majorities to Biden in the swing states. 

Was George Floyd murdered by Chauvin, die from an overdose or a combination of factors?  For the purposes of this discussion, the cause of his death is irrelevant.  What is relevant is how it was characterized:

“While it is true that instances of excessive police force and racism have occurred, is it true that George Floyd’s death in police custody was the result of racism?  The body cam footage demolishes the racist cop narrative.  Four officers, two white, one black and one Asian, who work for a black police chief, participated in the arrest of a 6’4” 223 lb repeat criminal, who was whacked on a lethal dose of fentanyl combined with methamphetamine and resisted arrest. Critically important, Floyd lied about his fentanyl intake and repeatedly said he “couldn’t breathe” before Chauvin arrived on scene.  He also used the same language during a 2019 arrest.  It is quite straightforward.  Perhaps this is why the politicians refused to release the body cam footage initially.  It tells a far different story than the politicians would have us believe.”

As governor, Tim Walz was the top local politician.  The launch of the Floyd narrative would have failed without his complicit involvement:

“The speed and scale of the George Floyd campaign was breathtaking.  We must consider the possibility that it was ready to launch as soon as an appropriate opportunity presented itself. Plus the uniformity of the immediate reactions indicated organization at the highest levels and across multiple industries. Democratic politicians, including Biden, Harris, the Minneapolis mayor, Minnesota DA and Governor declared it a racially motivated murder immediately, well before the facts were known.  Media relentlessly promoted this message.  The mob harassed, threatened and canceled anyone who questioned the narrative.”

The ”death by racism” campaign may have never launched if Walz released the body cam footage immediately accompanied by a strong calm message that Chauvin was innocent until proven guilty.  If he had exhibited courage rather than falling in line, perhaps the loss of life and property caused by the nationwide riots could have been avoided.  To compound matters, he allowed Minneapolis to burn.  A nation under extreme stress from Covid lockdowns erupted in copycat riots.  Without Walz’s complicity, the entire disinformation campaign may have failed and with it, Biden’s chances of winning.  

Was Walz’s selection payback for his fealty? 

There were likely many factors that influenced the decision and as an outsider, it is impossible to confirm if a quid pro quo was one of them.  However, since politics is rife with backroom deals for the benefit of those seeking power rather than the country, it is a logical conclusion. 

In summary, Walz not only allowed Minneapolis to burn but was instrumental in lighting the fire both locally and nationally.  Consequently, he is partially responsible for between $1B and $2B in damage that will negatively impact the affected communities for decades.  Many lives were lost during the riots not to mention all the additional black lives lost to violence when police departments were defunded.  Walz also undermined the concept of “innocent until proven guilty” a foundational principal of our democracy. 

Even if it wasn’t payback, the Democrats have chosen a loser who will sacrifice the country in service to his own ambition.
