Biden Family Corruption

Chinese infiltration, Ukrainian corruption, Russian subterfuge, a compromised First Family, and an American public in denial

Miranda Devine’s book: It is indeed a “Laptop from Hell”

That Joe Biden is corrupt was no secret to anyone who had been paying attention. Peter Sweizer demonstrates this beyond reasonable doubt in his book, ‘Red Handed’. Sweizer also makes clear that Biden, like many of our elites, is thoroughly compromised by totalitarian China. His corruption, including his personal nexus with Chinese Communists Party goes back decades. Now, Miranda Devine’s book, ‘Laptop From Hell’, lays bare the contents of Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop, revealing a Biden-family web of corruption, not just with China, but with Ukraine and beyond.

Arguably of even greater concern than confirmation of a compromised President of the United States, is the unmistakeable verification of Deep State efforts, first to conceal the laptop’s existence for nearly a year, and then conspiring to suppress and censor legitimate news of the laptop when it became public in what can hardly be interpreted as anything short of a clear attempt to manipulate the outcome of a presidential election. Devine reveals all with hard evidence.

Sweizer and Devine are far from alone. Both draw on decades of investigative journalism done by the mainstream media before it was completely co-opted and, of course, before Biden was president. When such stories and other facts and information are collated in books like Sweizer’s and Devine’s, it becomes easy to see the forest through the trees. The significance of their implications becomes all too clear. Even cursory of investigations into known foreign exploits and infiltration tactics of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) only further reinforce the backdrop that emerges. Sadly, for the United States and the free world the shoes all fit perfectly.

The Background

Like millions of others who go outside the mainstream media for information, I saw clearly how Big Tech censored and how the mainstream media suppressed what should otherwise have been the most consequential story of the US Presidential election of 2020. I refer, of course, to the story of Hunter Biden’s laptop, published by the nation’s oldest newspaper, The New York Post, just weeks prior to the election.

Facebook’s near immediate suppression of the story, followed by suspension of the Post’s Twitter account represented the second time Big Tech’s actions were nothing short of a public display of its power over the Office of the President of the United States. The first time was when Big Tech began censoring and ultimately suspended various accounts of Donald Trump, the then sitting President.

Returning to the Post’s story, nothing about Big Tech’s actions against the Post seemed justified or legitimate at the time, nor have they at anytime since. Their actions were not even consistent with their own ‘rules’ or precedents. Every pretext Facebook and Twitter et al gave stood in contradiction with their handling of other comparable situations when exposés were aimed at conservatives. In other words, their actions against the Post were flagrantly partisan - at best.

In truth, they represented something far more serious and the brazenness, which had reached new heights, was nothing short of gobsmacking, even for the Big Tech we have seen reveal itself in the Covid era. Former Twitter CEO, Jack Dorsey, subsequently told Congress that censoring the story was a ‘mistake’, but this ‘admission’ and miraculous ‘change of heart’ came long after the (intended and successful) damage had been done.

That Big Tech interfered with the US Presidential election of 2020 is objectively undeniable. (As we will see later in this essay, we now know that the FBI colluded with Big Tech and is directly implicated in this as well.) That this interference had a material impact can hardly be in doubt. It is common sense. Multiple polls since have reinforced this assertion.

The tell which demonstrates beyond reasonable doubt that the mainstream media was also in on the fix can be seen not only in its complete failure to pick up and run with the Post’s story in any genuine way, but also in its flagrant disinterest in calling out censorship of the Post, which should have been major story in and of itself. The country’s oldest newspaper was comprehensively censored on a big story related to the US presidential election, the Democratic Party machine went into cricket mode, and the mainstream media somehow did not see all this as newsworthy. Really? Extraordinary. In actuality, it was worse than this. As I will discuss shortly, the media chose instead to play an active role in a disinformation campaign aimed at besmirching and smothering the Post’s story.

Thanks to Edward Snowden, and to numerous authors and books published since Snowden’s great reveal in 2013, the existence of a vast nexus between the (unaccountable Deep State of the) US Government and Big Tech surveilling the American people, at least since the Patriot Act of 2001, is beyond dispute. In fact, we know, for instance from author Douglas Valentine and his books ‘The Pentagon Papers’ and ‘The CIA As Organized Crime’, that such practices on the part of forces within the US government date back at least to the mid-nineties.

There is scant evidence to suggest that the Obama Presidency did anything to reverse this state of affairs. The record points to the opposite being the case. Through former Press Secretary Jen Psaki, we also have an open admission that the Biden Administration has regularly colluded with Big Tech to perpetrate censorship of views it does not like. (Subsequent stories which have broken since this essay was first written blow this line of inquiry wide open, and are included in supplemental at the end.) Discovery documents revealed as part of former New York Times journalist Alex Berenson’s victorious lawsuit against Twitter show the same - conclusively. For good measure, we have seen that same Biden Administration overtly threaten anyone who questions the integrity of the 2020 election with being classified as a potential terrorist threat.

In the first draft of this post, I wrote that “One cannot help but wonder whether or when a smoking gun will appear in the form of digital communication between contingents in the US government (working against the then sitting President Trump) and Twitter concerning the Post story might appear.” Little did I know that just a few days prior to writing those words a smoking gun had already been provided by Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg:

FBI COLLUSION REVEALED IN ZUCKERBERG TELL-ALL

https://newsrollup.com/fbi-collusion-revealed-in-zuckerberg-tell-all/

Speaking on an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Zuckerberg explained, “The FBI, I think, basically came to us – some folks on our team – and was like, ‘Hey, just so you know, like, you should be on high alert… We thought that there was a lot of Russian propaganda in the 2016 election. We have it on notice that, basically, there’s about to be some kind of dump of that’s similar to that. So just be vigilant.’”

Alas, things did not end there.

Deep State disinformation campaign perpetrated in plain sight on an all too ‘willing-to-be-deceived’ American public

Even extreme censorship could not have completely hidden the Post’s story and attempts to totally deny it oxygen could have backfired. As such, the story had to be managed. A response of some kind was required, and one was provided. All intentions of subterfuge were effectively revealed when the Deep State put its hands directly on the scales of the Post’s story and therefore on the outcome of the 2020 election itself, with its public letter where “50 former intelligence officials warn(ed) NY post story sounds like Russian disinformation”.

That this was a disinformation campaign is so flagrantly obvious, it hardly needs explanation. Why? First, because there is no such thing as a “former” intelligence official, let alone senior ones. Second, because the methods used were textbook manipulation straight out of ‘Propaganda 101’. If thinking people still cannot see the obvious attempts at manipulation that took place in plain sight as per the example below, then we are lost, because propaganda as documented in science, as documented in history, and as exercised throughout the Covid-era thus far gets a lot more sophisticated than this. Rather than belabor the point, I have annotated one of countless examples of the kinds of propaganda tactics that were used over and over throughout the mainstream to distract the public from the Post’s story. See if you can spot the contradictions, obfuscations and attempts at distraction and manipulation in headline and the first few paragraphs of this article here from The Hill:

The intelligence community letter was all the cover Big Tech and the MSM needed to run with things the way they wanted. (Incidentally, both the White House and Democratic politicians in Congress have repeatedly threatened Big Tech with retribution if it did not fall in line more generally with their calls for censorship.) Hence, the title in the Hill piece above flies in the face of the carefully couched words in the letter itself; words which are designed to cover the backsides of the letter’s authors; words the MSM also frequently quoted in later paragraphs of its various stories to cover itself, just as The Hill does above. Meanwhile, as election day approached, the real story was not being told. And, it never was; at least not properly by the mainstream media. All was it was meant to be.

The same subterfuge was perpetrated to a tee across the mainstream media for weeks - providing yet more evidence that the media is not independent, that news is agenda driven, and that stories, which are selectively chosen accordingly and the tactics behind their presentation, are all coordinated. Is it not curious that these ‘former’ intelligence officials were more concerned with what even they clearly acknowledged to be nothing more than a mere hypothesis of theirs (and an obviously trumped up one at that) than the explosive contents on the laptop, which, had implications that words can hardly do justice. Their message effectively said that they were more concerned about warning the American people that ‘Putin might be helping spread TRUE information to manipulate the outcome of the election’ than they were about the Biden family, the CCP, or themselves hiding TRUE information to ummm… manipulate the outcome of the election. Nevertheless, this was the story countless mainstream media outlets ran with.

Let’s make it even clearer: As Devine notes, “On December 9, 2019, Delaware FBI agents Joshua Williams and Mike Dzielak arrived at The Mac Shop (where Hunter had abandoned his laptop several months prior) with a subpoena for the laptop and hard drive. Mac Isaac (shop owner) kept a copy of the material (as he was legally entitled to do) to protect himself.” In other words, the FBI had access to the laptop’s contents several weeks before the Democrat-led impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump in the House of Representatives the following January .

Yet the laptop’s contents, which would have been of supreme relevance as evidence, featured nowhere in said trial. I believe that is called (state-sanctioned) suppression of evidence. Furthermore, the intelligence community continued to conceal the laptop’s contents and its possession of the same, for nearly 10 months leading up to the 2020 election. Despite having all this time to verify the laptop’s ownership and authenticity, something which has Miranda Devine has now been done beyond all doubt, our ‘former’ intelligence officials wrote their supposed ‘eleventh-hour’ letter presenting a mere hypothesis, which they knew was bogus, still at step one.

With these verified facts being what they are, there is no other way to square the letter from our ‘former’ intelligence officials as anything other than a clear (and successful) attempt to disinform and manipulate American people on a fundamentally important matter, which directly related to the U.S. Presidential election of 2020. I find it extremely difficult to see how this does not constitute the rigging of said election.

I wish I could blame the government, Big Tech, and the MSM exclusively for this sad state of affairs. However, in this instance, doing so would mean omitting a critical element of the story. Taking the article from The Hill above as but one of countless examples, it is implausible that the American people at large did not have at least enough exposure to the story to take a more serious interest, to employ critical thinking, and, in doing so, to help bring more of the truth to light, warts and all. Or, if one prefers, to at least follow the facts wherever they would have led rather than to outsource one’s critical thinking to a captured media that was obviously not covering the substance of a very important story. Instead, it seems that Biden supporters and Democrats more generally by-in-large simply did not want to know. Ditto for Republicans of the neoliberal and never-Trumper persuasions.

In addition to monitoring the liberal media, inhabiting independent, alternative, and yes, even conservative medias circles, as I do, I knew that tens of millions of Americans saw the things I have described here in this post playing out and were alarmed by them, but that our concerns were to go unaddressed. Instead, a corrupt Deep State and a co-opted Big Tech-MSM industrial complex coordinating their efforts were more than sufficient to keep these concerns of millions of Americans from reaching the country at large; thereby concealing critical facts and information from a sufficient number of voters in the middle who might otherwise have voted differently had they known about the Post’s story. Again, multiple polls since the election have purportedly indicated many would have done just that had they known what they know now about the Hunter Biden laptop story.

It seems that much of America’s educated class has allowed itself to become enfeebled, intellectually disengaged, and even defined by Big Tech and the mainstream media; both of which increasingly look to be under the control of Deep State and globalist forces. As a result of all this, we arguably now have the most corrupt and compromised president we have ever seen occupying the Oval Office.

The Laptop’s Authenticity

The laptop’s contents are legitimate and they have been authenticated as such. Biden supporters and Trump-loathers alike can still eschew reality by denying this, or they can read Devine’s book or investigate things for themselves extensively elsewhere. Doing either objectively with an open mind will demonstrate things clearly to even the greatest sceptic.

We, each of us, can only decide for ourselves whether or not to take an interest in this story. If one is a concerned American citizen who values what is left of our democracy, then one certainly should take such an interest. The contents of the laptop are simply too consequential to allow a disingenuous burden of proof to be used as a tactic for keeping them hidden. If there is any possibility that the contents are authentic, and there is every possibility, then the contents must be exposed as widely as possible. It is critical that more Americans become aware of the things they reveal.

For those who still doubt the authenticity of the laptop’s content but genuinely want to know more, know the following for a start:

• The Biden family has not denied that the laptop was Hunter’s or that the contents are authentic. Instead, their approach has been to ignore and deflect the story, while relying on the media, our ‘former’ intelligence members, the Democratic Party machine, and the wilful ignorance of many supporters in the voting population to cover for them. The owner of ‘The Mac Store’ shop is witness to Hunter coming to his shop (twice), and he holds Hunter’s authenticated signature on file as part of the laptop work-order.

• Miranda Devine’s documentation is impressive and is made ever more so through her triangulation of the laptop contents with, among other things, data on Tony Bobulinski’s devices. Bobulinski is Hunter Biden’s former partner who turned on the Bidens when Joe Biden began telling the American people in the lead up to the election that he had nothing to do with Hunter’s business dealings; something directly contradicted by testimony and evidence from Bobulinski, and by other corroborating evidence.

• “The New York Times and the Washington Post joined a number of right-leaning outlets that confirmed the authenticity of emails on the laptop.”

• Our ‘former’ intelligence officials have, for all intents and purposes, disappeared into the ether. To the extent we hear from any of them, when pressed, the position seems to be that they never meant to imply, blah blah blah…. House GOP officials are pursuing them, but as with Jack Dorsey and Twitter, the (intended ) damage has long since been done and is irreparable.

• Facebook, whose pretext for suppression was the ‘need’ to ‘fact-check’ the story, never returned with any results of its supposed fact-checking exercise.

• Readers of this Substack will know that I spend a lot of time reading and writing about propaganda and globalist organizations. It is in no small part for this reason that the letter from the ‘former’ intelligence officials jumped out to me so clearly as propaganda and as part of a disinformation campaign. However, at the time of the letter’s appearance, I still knew very little about the globalists and their organizations compared to now. I certainly knew the public profiles of the senior signatories quite well.

  For instance, of course, I knew that James Clapper was a former Director of National Intelligence, that Michael Hayden was a former Director of the National Security Agency, Deputy Director of National Intelligence, and Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, and that John Brennan was also a former Director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

  However, did I know that these men were also CFR / globalists or what that even meant at the time? No, I did not. But I do now. Readers will know from that whether I therefore believe these men have the United States Constitution, the American people or even the Republic itself as their main priorities. If you prefer, disregard the CFR / globalist angle altogether. Simply look at the pedigrees of these ‘great’ men, then read the letter they wrote, and for, good measure, add the verified and verifiable timeline and sequence of events I have highlighted above and try to reconcile all these things in a good light. If you can do it, fair enough. I cannot.

The Laptop’s Contents

The laptop’s contents are indeed explosive. I cannot Miranda Divine’s rendering of them justice here, so I will conclude by sharing some of the key things they reveal and by making some startling assertions, which have strong foundations not only in the laptop’s contents, but elsewhere:

1. Hunter Biden’s drug problems: Hunter is not just a run-of-the-mill relative with a drug habit who faced and overcame his problem, as Joe Biden asserted during one of his presidential debates. He is a completely out of control crack-head who for at least most of the decade leading up to the presidential election was likely spending more in a month than most people earn in a year, to feed his habits, which include not just alcohol, crack, and many other drugs, but also rampant solicitation of prostitution services. Joe Biden, has known these things all along, so any notion that he genuinely trusts his son’s judgement or believes him to be remotely qualified to be in business with the Chinese and the Ukrainians to the tune of millions and millions of dollars, as he claimed, can immediately be quashed. Full stop. But you already knew that, right?

2. The implications of Hunter Biden’s drug problems: So serious are Hunter’s problems that even if Joe Biden was, as he says, unaware and uninvolved in Hunter’s business activities, the strain Hunter’s antics place on Joe Biden and his family should in any normal universe, preclude Joe Biden from being able to serve as President. The laptop reveals years and years of text and email communications between Hunter and his family members, including his father, and they underline this point.

3. ‘My son has not made money from China’: When, in the final presidential debate, Joe Biden said this, it was a bold-faced lie and he knew it to be so.

4. Tony Bobulinski was telling the truth when he said, “I’ve seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business. I’ve seen first-hand that that’s not true.”

5. Elena Baturina, the billionaire wife of the former (now deceased) mayor of Moscow, did indeed wire $3.5 million dollars to Hunter Biden and his associates. Baturina is Russia’s wealthiest woman. What this payment was for remains unclear, but Hunter Biden’s diary also makes clear that these two individuals did meet in a secretive meeting in a luxury villa on Lake Como around the time of the payment. Miranda Devine also convincingly reveals that the Russians were very much entangled in Burisma, with Hunter Biden.

6. Hunter Biden’s diary: The laptop appears to contain 10 to 15 years of Hunter Biden’s diary. From this, we can see a seemingly endless stream of meetings between Hunter and billionaires, CCP officials, seedy bankers, present and former corrupt heads of state of small far off lands and many other elites whom the younger Biden would simply have no business meeting, were it not for his last name.

   More to the point, Hunter Biden would have had no legitimate, let alone reasonable basis for all these meetings even with his last name. On the contrary, Joe Biden’s positions should have precluded all of it; but, of course, the point was otherwise. The evidence that Hunter Biden is nothing but a influence peddler of the first order is overwhelming. Evidence indicating he is doing anything else is scant to non-existent. Hunter Biden is an extreme crack head who has nothing of value to offer these people other than influence peddling on behalf of his father. If you read the book, you will not have to believe me, you will see it in Hunter’s own words over and over.

7. Joe Biden is directly implicated: Far from not knowing about Hunter’s dealings, Joe Biden is central to them. Hunter also makes this clear, as Tony Bobulinski, as does other evidence in the public domain which contradicts Joe Biden’s claims. The 'group’, as it were, consists of Hunter, his uncle Jim (Joe’s brother) and a small coterie of other hopelessly corrupt individuals. The extras do the leg work, add a modicum of brain power to the operations, and help provide an air of implausible ‘plausible’ deniability as far as ‘The Big Guy’ is concerned; but it does not wash against the mountain of evidence. Furthermore, the apparent IQ’s of the people involved is surprising to say the least; as is the extremely dysfunctional nature of America’s first family.

8. These people traded away the wellbeing and the security of the country for personal gain - time and time again: Together, this motley crew of imbeciles has been using first the Senate, then the vice presidency, and now the presidency of the United States as their own personal enrichment vehicle at the direct and inconceivably enormous expense of the American people and the country at large.

9. The money trail is enormous and undeniable: From China and Ukraine for a start, the money which leads to Hunter Biden et al, is in tens of millions. Hunter spends his cuts almost as fast as he can gets them to service his habits. Other Biden family members also burn through big money at extreme speeds. Several have habits of their own. The laptop reveals maxed out credit cards, unpaid bills, and family squabbles over sums of money both big when times are ‘good’ and ‘small’ when they are not.

   Hunter retains holdings to this day in a CCP controlled entity, which stands to deliver him his biggest payday to date, but almost certainly not until his father is out of office. Anticipation of this big payload goes a long way towards explaining why he Hunter could not part with his stake during the last presidential campaign despite the clear conflict of interest and potential risks it might have posed for Joe Biden had the media done its job. To make it clear: Is the son of the President of the United States in business with the totalitarian Chinese Communist Party? Yes, he is. Is there big money involved? Yes, there is. Is the President of the United States connected to this money? Yes, he is.

10. Donald Trump was well within his rights as the sitting American president to question Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy about the ousting by his predecessor of former Ukrainian General Prosecutor Viktor Shokin under pressure from former Vice President Joe Biden. Not only was Trump right to do this, he was also right ‘on the money’ in doing so. If we believe what senior Democrats were selling when they impeached Trump over this matter (while the FBI at a minimum was suppressing an ocean of evidence on Hunter Biden’s laptop), then we have no choice but to accept that it was:

    a) okay for then Vice President Joe Biden, who had glaring conflicts of interest revolving around potential financial corruption himself, to withhold $1 billion from Ukraine as a means of interfering in its internal affairs by having its General Prosecutor fired on dubious grounds; but also,

    b) that it was not okay for a sitting U.S. president to withhold a similar amount of funding from that same (widely known-to-be-seriously corrupt) country, while insisting that a subsequent investigation be done to see if corruption occurred.

    How does one square that? At the time of his firing, Shokin was hot on the trail of investigating corruption in Burisma, the infamous energy company, which Hunter Biden was netting $83k a month from for sitting on its board doing nothing other than bringing name value and being on call to provide favors and interference through his father.

    In his own memoir, Hunter wrote that Burisma’s payments were a “wicked sort of funny money” that encouraged him to go on benders for months on end. That is an interesting way to make $83k a month. That, of course, was not the point. This was: Burisma used its bought-and-paid for leverage over Hunter Biden to enlist Joe Biden to compel the former Ukrainian president to oust Prosecutor Shokin, thereby halting his investigation into Burisma, which was fast becoming a serious threat to the company’s owner and executives. Read the book and you will see the evidence and understand its veracity.

    Within months of Prosecutor Shokin going (back) into retirement, the charges against Burisma were magically dropped. Shokin, in the meantime, set out to clear his name saying of Joe Biden that “he dismissed me and … actively interfered in managerial decision-making at the highest level in Ukraine. I felt that he humiliated not only our president, but the whole of Ukraine.” Devine further notes, “In April 2020, the Kyiv District Court ordered that Shokin be formally recorded as the victim of an alleged crime by the former US vice president. Joe Biden’s identity originally was redacted, but the court ruled that he be formally named.”

    Alas, you do not have to take Shokin’s word for it, nor Hunter’s or the words of the Burisma executives as they frantically email and text Hunter in desperation insisting on action from Vice President Biden. No, you can hear it from Joe Biden himself. Here he is below confessing at ummm…. the COUNCIL ON FOREIGN RELATIONS of all places. :-) Handler, CFR Chairman Richard Haas is seated to Biden’s left.

This is the man (Uncle Joe) who is currently supposedly leading U.S. foreign policy, who is now sending tens of billions of taxpayers’ dollars to Ukraine like it is money growing on trees, and prepping the American people for a protracted and expensive war. In the famous words of Joe Biden himself, “Come on, man!” Surely, you see the immediate problems. More generally, this is the same man who thinks it is okay to coerce American citizens into having experimental mRNA injections administered in their bodies against their will, and who has added trillions more to the country’s already untenable debt.

Through my studies and investigations into how our powerful elites have used Covid to enrich themselves at our expense, while rapidly advancing their surveillance state apparatuses, torpedoing our economies, particularly for the middle class, small businesses and farmers, and gone a long way towards desecrating human rights and irreparably damaging our civil liberties, nation-state sovereignty and democracy itself, I, ultimately, through process of elimination, came face to face with and had to study the globalists and their organizations.

Having now done that extensively, I am no longer under any doubt that there are powerful forces all around us who pretend to work for us and to represent interests of the United States, but who in fact work for themselves and for others whose true intentions have been and remain to hollow out the country from within over time and to ultimately bring about its demise as a prosperous, free, and independent nation. For these people, and their organizations, and certainly also for Xi Jinping and the CCP, who have very similar goals in this respect, Joe Biden is the perfect president.

As a former lifelong Democrat, and an American, it gives me no pleasure to write these things, but I write them anyway, because I know them to be true.

Treasure your Constitution and fight for it. The threats are real.

The End
