    "News Media That Conspired to Dismiss Biden Laptop Scandal as â
    €˜Russian
    Disinformation’ Are Now Trapped

    "If you limit your news reading to only the U.S. corporate media,
    you
    miss a lot.

    For instance, you likely missed hearing anything about this
    explosive
    story in the UK’s Daily Mail last week about how forensic
    experts have
    proven the Hunter Biden laptop contents were not faked.

    The corporate news media and the big tech social media
    conglomerates
    made extensive efforts to blunt the impact of the emerging laptop
    scandal so it wouldn’t affect the outcome of the fast-
    approaching 2020
    presidential election.

    The popular media take is that their censorship worked
    beautifully:
    Trump was voted out and Biden won handily.

    The big question that’s been looming ever since last November is
    this:
    What happens when the laptop scandal resurfaces again, as it’s
    doing now?

    Some people seem to think this situation is going to remain in
    stasis
    for the next four years. Every time more of the laptop’s awful contents are revealed, Joe Biden laughs loudly when a reporter
    dares
    to ask him about it and says, “C’mon man! That’s Russian disinformation!” and the corporate news media will obediently
    drop the
    issue.

    I’m not sure that expectation is correct.

    Last month I commented about how the federal investigation that is
    targeting Hunter Biden hasn’t ended yet. Which is strange, if
    the
    conventional wisdom is accurate, that the investigation was only
    started back in 2018 to protect the Biden family. Joe Biden is
    safely
    in the White House now. What would the FBI be waiting for?

    If the investigation into Hunter Biden has been subsumed by politics—as is widely assumed—why haven’t the people running
    it made
    defensive leaks on behalf of the Bidens?

    Wouldn’t there have been leaks to the media from inside the FBI
    about
    how “we’re not finding anything” and “after two years itâ
    €™s time to end
    this, we’re wasting our time, there’s nothing here”?

    Instead, there have been no leaks from any of the investigators
    involved.

    You know why that’s strange?

    We already know what a politicized group of political partisans at
    the
    FBI or in a special counsel’s office would look like.

    Because we’ve spent over four years seeing evidence declassified regarding the FBI’s handling of the Crossfire Hurricane “counter-intelligence” investigation and the Mueller special
    counsel’s
    handling of the Gen. Michael Flynn case.

    If the people in the FBI running the Biden investigation or in Durham’s special counsel’s office were political partisans,
    they’d
    also be leakers. Regular leakers who would be using media allies
    to
    drive certain political narratives centered around their
    designated
    targets, either to shield those targets or to arouse suspicions
    against them.

    federal investigation of Hunter Biden and those working with
    Durham
    since April 2017 investigating Spygate don’t leak anything.
    Regularly
    or otherwise.

    Durham’s people and the FBI’s Biden investigators don’t leak
    anything
    to the media about any of the central figures of their probes.
    There
    have been no leaks about James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Hunter Biden,
    Tony Bobulinski, or anyone else involved in these investigations.

    That’s because the investigations are real, and they aren’t
    being run
    by political partisans, and they will conclude and announce their
    findings at the proper time.

    Given the nature of the kind of behavior that we know Hunter Biden
    has
    been engaging in for years, the fact nothing is leaking from the investigation into him is remarkable.

    Contrast Donald Trump Jr. With Hunter Biden
    Of all the children of Donald Trump, it’s his eldest son Donald
    Jr.
    who gets most of the press attention. While his other grown-up son
    Eric and daughters Ivanka and Tiffany are also in the public
    spotlight, it’s Don Jr. who comes closest to matching his
    father’s
    bombastic public persona and love of opining on social media.

    And for this reason, much of the corporate media enthusiastically
    pursued Don Jr. just as avidly as it did his father.

    For several years, sensational stories appeared in the mainstream
    press that sold the idea that Don Jr. was in mounting legal
    trouble
    for serious crimes.

    Which was always nonsense because any research into Don Jr. will
    establish that he’s a successful businessman who enjoys a stable family life. He’s never been tied to drugs, and despite rabid
    news
    media partisans frantically searching for years, no evidence of
    him
    being a family bag man for foreign bribes has ever emerged.

    We were repeatedly assured by legal experts and reporters with
    high-level sources that Don Jr. was headed to prison just based on
    the
    notorious Trump Tower meeting with some Russian political
    operatives
    who turned out to be connected to Fusion GPS, the very same firm
    that
    was paid by the Hillary Clinton campaign to produce the fake
    Steele
    dossier.

    We heard for months in anonymously sourced news reports that
    Mueller
    was closing in on the dastardly Trump Crime Family, how former
    Trump
    associates such as Gen. Flynn, former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen,
    and
    others had flipped on the president and were loudly singing to
    Mueller
    about the Russian collusion.

    And none of it was true.

    Not only was Don Jr. never charged with “collusion,” but
    Mueller also
    couldn’t even find any evidence of violations of campaign
    finance
    laws, since no money or anything of real value was exchanged at
    the
    meeting. And so, there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth in
    the
    mainstream press as Don Jr. got away with—absolutely nothing.

    Meanwhile, what was the story with Hunter Biden the past few years
    as
    Don Jr. was supposedly involved in all kinds of nefarious
    activity?

    Fake News Has Gone From Trying to Invent Fake Scandals to Trying
    to
    Hide Real Ones
    I can’t tell you how ironic it is that after five years of the mainstream media trying to nail Don Jr. on something, anything,
    this
    he apparently made of himself with multiple prostitutes.

    And now all the corporate media outlets that engaged in deliberate
    conspiracy to hide the laptop scandal are now—like Hunter in
    many of
    these shocking videos and pictures—caught with their pants down.

    The mainstream corporate media has blithely moved on from helping
    to
    launch and drive numerous fake Trump family scandals to
    enthusiastically covering up Biden family scandals.

    The end result of all of this was that when it was vitally
    important
    for the American public to know the truth about the family that
    was
    seeking to enter the White House, the American corporate media
    conspired among themselves to deliberately suppress and hide a
    genuine
    political scandal in order to influence the 2020 presidential
    election.

    When the history of our time is written it’s going to look very unkindly on these people in the American media who were not only
    getting the major stories wrong because they let their biases
    influence everything, but were also covering up for potentially
    real
    criminals while trying to turn innocent people into criminals.

    And that is absolutely unforgivable.

    This same corporate media that spent more than four years claiming
    Spygate was a right-wing conspiracy theory while enthusiastically
    pursuing the Trump–Russia collusion hoax turned around and
    babbled to
    the country that the Hunter Biden laptop was a Russian
    disinformation
    campaign. Because Joe said so.

    We all know they did it to keep the laptop scandal from hurting
    Joe
    Biden’s chances against Trump in the presidential election.

    Well Trump is gone now. They can’t justify continuing this
    blatant
    conspiracy to suppress the truth about the laptop and what it
    reveals
    about the Bidens to hurt Trump. They can’t even find Trump these
    days,
    much less hurt him.

    These media companies are laying off personnel at a frantic pace
    as
    the U.S. economy continues to improve, and unemployment is
    dropping to
    its lowest point since the pandemic began over a year ago.

    And nothing will bring the viewers and readers back like a good
    old-fashioned juicy political scandal about a presidency, the
    likes of
    which the country hasn’t seen since Bill Clinton and Monica
    Lewinsky
    were discovered to have been doing unmentionable things in the
    Oval
    Office.


    Some of these dying news media outlets need this Biden scandal to
    survive. They’re not going to be able to help themselves. Their
    own
    self-interest is going to outweigh the political calculations of
    protecting the Bidens."

    The United States needs a political war. A political war that
    exterminates the immature ignorant Democrats for all time.

    Execute the owners of the media. Arrest them, stand them up in a
    public square and put bullets in their heads. Do the same for their
    families.
