Thiessen writes about Hunter’s laptop
Americans think media is a threat. Look at coverage of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
WASHINGTONWhen President Donald Trump raised Hunter Biden’s laptop during the final 2020 presidential debate, Joe Biden dismissed it as a “Russian plant,” citing “five former heads of the CIA” who say it’s “a bunch of garbage.”
We now know this was patently untrue. The laptop was authentic. But at the time, almost no one in the news media questioned Biden’s false assertion. To the contrary, CNN questioned whether Trump had “spread Russian disinformation” during the debate by raising the laptop.
Twitter suppressed the New York Post story that broke the news of the laptop’s existence, preventing users from sharing the story or even sending it by direct message (a tool usually used to stop the dissemination of child pornography). Worse, the company suspended the New York Post’s Twitter account, as well as other accounts that shared the story. Twitter did not suspend the accounts of Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Khameini, who tweets Holocaust denial and denies his citizens free access to the site. It did not suspend Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, or the Taliban, or the Chinese foreign ministry. But it suspended the New York Post for reporting what turned out to be a legitimate news story.
This is a scandal – one that appears to involve collusion between the FBI, the intelligence community and social media platforms to block a valid news story that could have damaged Biden and aided Trump’s reelection campaign. Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy points out that the evidence the FBI interfered in the 2020 presidential election “is by leaps and bounds stronger than the evidence that the Trump campaign corruptly conspired with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election.”
We now know that Twitter and Facebook suppressed the story after U.S. law enforcement and intelligence officials warned them to be on the lookout for foreign disinformation. In a sworn declaration to the Federal Election Commission, Yoel Roth, Twitter’s then-head of “site integrity,” said he had held “regular meetings with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI and industry peers regarding election security” during which “federal law enforcement agencies communicated that they expected ‘hack-and-leak’ operations by state actors might occur in the period shortly before the 2020 presidential election, likely in October,” adding “I also learned in these meetings that there were rumors that a hack-and-leak operation would involve Hunter Biden.”
At the time the FBI was delivering these warnings, it was in possession of the laptop, which it had seized in December 2019 from the computer repair shop where Hunter Biden left it – so it knew full well what it contained and that it was authentic, not a Russian plant.
In addition to these meetings with current officials, a group of 51 former intelligence officials released a public letter when the story broke in which they alleged that the release of Hunter Biden’s emails “has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation,” adding, “If we are right, this is Russia trying to influence how Americans vote in this election.”
They were not right. But together, these warnings by current and former national security officials gave Twitter the pretext to censor the story – and mainstream news outlets the excuse to dismiss or ignore it, which many of them did.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), a Bernie Sanders ally who represents Silicon Valley in Congress, revealed in a Wall Street Journal op-ed this week that he had written to Twitter at the time expressing his concern about the story’s suppression. He points out that Twitter defended its actions by claiming the story violated company policy because it contained information obtained through illegal means. By that definition, he writes, “they’d have to suspend any account that posted the Pentagon Papers.” He is right.
Not only that, they would also have to suppress any account that cited the illegally obtained classified intelligence released by WikiLeaks, or the classified intelligence unlawfully shared by Edward Snowden. They did not.
So where is the outrage from the mainstream news media over the fact that they were misled by current and former national security officials? What was the origin of that letter signed by those 51 intelligence officials? Who wrote it and circulated it for signature? To this day, the news media shows little or no interest in investigating how this story was suppressed, much less the contents of the laptop or whether President Biden knew about, or financially benefited from, his family members cashing in on his political influence with foreign governments.
The laptop’s suppression was justified as an effort to protect our democracy from foreign interference. But many Americans believe that reporting failures like this are the real threat to democracy. An October New York Times-Siena College poll found that 84% of respondents view the media as a threat to democracy – including 59% who agreed the press is a “major threat.”
More Americans said the media is a major threat to democracy than said Trump is. And an October Gallup poll found just 34% of Americans trust major news organizations to report “fully, accurately and fairly” on the news.
Twitter’s new owner, Elon Musk, is working to restore public trust in the social media platform by providing transparency as to how this sorry episode took place. Good for him. Perhaps mainstream news organizations ought to be engaged in similar soul-searching – so they can restore public trust in their platforms as well.
Perhaps the most sad consequence of the suppression of Hunter’s laptop material was giving the Traitor biden the Presidency.
.
I truly believe, if the U.S. survives his pretendency, biden will be recorded as the worst president the U.S. has had.
The destuction by his rules and regulations, made without consulting Congress, has been enormous.
I understand, biden is not unique in the world. Every day I am amazed at “Climate change/global warming” believers; and our loss of real scientists.
Yes, climate change theory is EXTREMELY COMPLEX and cannot be solved by any lengthy set of equations.
It is necessary to use an extensive model, of set of models. However, EVERY true scientist knows that if you build a model and it fails to predict correctly, the model is NOT CORRECT.
It is then necessary to modify the model or try a different approach.
The fact that we have had both higher temperatures and higher levels of CO2 in the past, WITHOUT THERMAL RUNAWAY, should indicate the whole Green Theory is incorrect, and in its stupidity, highly destructive for a basis for government planning and decisions.

Wagner group may be trying to kill enough Ukrainian soldiers to force a ceasefire – but at the same time Russians may be forced to do the same – they have yet to take Bakhmut after numerous offensives. MOD is losing control of the paramilitaries and will eventually have to reign them in or kill them. You cannot kill the entire Ukrainian Military with a few thousand mercenaries.
And I worked for GEN Clark while at EUCOM, he was a micro manager with a big ego that caused much grief while he supported politicians over sound warfighting.

UKRAINE…………… BOTTOM LINE…………………………
David Morgan sums it up at usawatchdog……….
37 min mark……….. I think I have mentioned this several times in the past………..
Some young minds need to wake up to the facts……. KERRY, PELOSI, BIDEN….all profited and continue to profit from the WAR and UKRAINE.
GET YOUR HEADS out of the sand………..and stop this BS on _”it is for Democracy”…..
David Morgan seems to think a Chinese digital currency will become the new reserve currency.
currency……….. is not money…………..
People are to concerned with their daly lives to investigate currencies or corruption etc.
A while back the U.S. changed their nuke policy from defense only to a first use position.
Russia is now in the process of changing their policy to a first strike position pointing out they are surrounded with U.S. and nato nukes, they said if it looks like, not even 1 launched, just looks like they are going to be attacked they will fire first.
Have we ever seen Putin bluff?
We are on thin ice and people dont have a clue, nor do they concern themselves.
Maybe its better people dont realise the situation we are in, there is nothing anyone could do about it anyway.
Daily living……….. is coming to a halt…………..and is becoming more harsh for the sheeple,… at some time more will come out of their FOG.
Controlling the sheeple will become more difficult as they realize they have been snookered……
As the death toll mounts from the JAB…..
. and please note SGT just had a doctor on ,….
Which says……………. THE COVID AND THE FLUE SHOT ARE THE SAME compound/ingredient….
Dr. Lee Vliet quoted
So, the infection from the bioweapon will continue into 2023………MORE DEATHS at the doorstep of the sheeple, …..
“the bioweapons payload mechanisms of delivery are broadening, completely unbeknownst to a largely unsuspecting public.”

Covid vaccine, nuclear war, AI, currency collapse.
Vegas should provide odds on which one wipes out humanity. 😉
None of the above…………….. Only the Above………. 🙂
No one knows the time or the place.
Watch the NETFLIX series “The Peripheral”, you get a sense of the possibilities. The “Jackpot” – North American grid sabotage, bio weapons, nuc strike – successive blows over time, and who rises from the ashes? Criminal gangs, those who use new tech, authoritarians. Who sinks to the bottom? Everybody else. The same story of history over and over again.
It is clear to me, the best way out for the U.S. is to pump as much oil and gas a possible AND CUT GOVERNMENT SPENDING TO THE BONE.
I cannot see government doing that.
WE THE SHEEPLE ……………DO NOT HAVE A GOVT……………. people are delusional …….
Your statement would be correct,…If, there was a govt.,… it is way to late…, if the Jan 6 meeting of the Supreme Court does not act and throw out 300 plus politicians that have breached their OATH OF OFFICE , that includes BIDEN AND HARRIS….
Debt is impossible to repay……… $32 Trillion on the board,…with another $90 Trillion missing at the Pentagon……….. the UScorporation has stolen and indebted everyone with a birth certificate….
You are just a bondage servant at this stage.

Carlin said years ago, “They will come for your pension, and they will get it.”
The problem is that the only countries IN THE WORLD that will survive the coming dollar collapse are those with minimal debt and are running with a balanced budget.
In fact, life could get fairly good because in about two years prices (IN REAL TERMS) will be dropping.
.
What do I mean by real terms? A stable currency.
We know the US and Canadian dollars collapse. All European currencies collapse; certainly the Euro and the pound, probably even the Swiss Franc.
The Chinese currency may be almost stable, but there is citizen unrest and convertability/exchange is a problem. Australia, New Zealand and Japan currencies won’t remain stable.
It is hard to guess on bitcoin, because American and European owners will be pulling money out to spend.
Given monetary collapses, high unemployment worldwide, which currency do you guys think might be stable ?
Bitcon……… will not make it……. according to what I read yesterday……..
I will see if, I can find the article……..
Here is the article………….The Debate Between Gold & Bitcoin In 2023
https://www.zerohedge.com/crypto/debate-between-gold-bitcoin-2023
The problem with bitcoin as money
The supreme cryptocurrency standard is widely acknowledged to be bitcoin. It is bitcoin which is currently promoted as the private sector replacement for government currencies. But even to talk of bitcoin as a currency is to mislabel it. A currency is a form of credit, where there is a counterparty risk.
I Know FTX had a significant effect on bitcoin. but it should not have had.
FTX was invented by crooks for crooks (Democrats).
Unfortunately BTC and all cryptos got tarred by the same brush and since price is dependent on the number of buyers versus sellers (in derivatives)the prices went down.
The problem with cryptos is the stability of exchanges.
The problem with national currencies is deficit spending and bank stability.
Specifically for the U.S., once China gets to pay Saudi Arabia in Yuan instead of dollars, the U.S.Dollar is toast. The U.S. Fed will raise interest rates to try to keep dollar value, but they will fight a losing battle.
Most currencies will also sink with the dollar, and we will have a deflation that makes the 1930s look minor.

Might give the Supreme Court more courage to rule on the case , being heard on JAN 6.
Sinema talks like a democrat, thinks like a democrat, votes like a democrat…..so that makes her a duck?

You’ve got to love Elon Musk’s latest tweet:
“My pronouns are: prosecute/ Fauci”
.
Most people do not realize the damage that has benn done to mankind by Anthony Fauci,
with regard to his funding of reseach into the spike proteins. The CCP, in choosing to spread the disease worldwide ,also carries blame,
but I rate Dr. FAUCI CONSIDERABLY WORSE THAN DR. MENGELE of WWII era.
Inasmuch as the spike protein appears to damage the innate immune system in many people,
and inasmuch as this appears to provide pathways for cancers to develop, Fauci will contibute to the deaths of millions upon millions of people; even on top of the many that have died directly from covid.
