About That Durham Report

The long-awaited Durham report came out on Monday, May 15. It’s over 300 pages, so, while there has been a lot of immediate response, there may also be a longer time for some things to boil up to the surface. There are two main responses:

·        Yes, just as we knew, the whole Russia collusion hoax was indeed an invention of the Hillary Clinton campaign.

·        But why is no one being prosecuted?

So there’s the satisfaction of having the evidence laid out for the public to see—although the public that hadn’t already seen it won’t be fed this information from the press who kept them from seeing what the rest of us saw all along. And there’s also the disappointment that we’re not about to see perp walks of the many colluders who have been fighting against our rights and freedoms.

You can read the Durham Report in full here. 

I’ll do a fairly brief summary of the highlights. And then list a few of the sources I listened to, some of which have a thought or two to add.

The full Durham Report is available here.

 

The Summary

Glenn Beck did a fairly good summary here. I’ll go through what he said, using some of the transcript and an occasional paraphrase of his words:

There was a meeting August 3, 2016, a briefing by CIA director John Brennan, in the Oval Office, with Barack Obama (president at the time), Joe Biden (VP at the time), James Comey (FBI Director at the time), and other senior administration officials. According to Brennan’s handwritten notes and his recollections from the meeting, he briefed those in the room on relevant intelligence known to date on Russian election interference, including “the Clinton Plan intelligence.”

Durham writes, “specifically Director Brennan’s declassified handwritten notes reflect that he briefed the meeting’s participants regarding the alleged approval by Hillary Clinton on the 26th of July of a proposal from one of her campaign advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian Security Services.”

When the Steele dossier comes out, they all know that it is the Clinton Plan intelligence.

When they receive it, they know it is false, that it is the Clinton campaign invention, but they launch a full (not preliminary) investigation anyway. The agents didn’t then or in hindsight have any belief that any of the claims in the dossier were true.

Then they leak the information to the press, knowing it to be false.

There’s more. On August 22, 2016, an FBI cyber analyst sent an email to the Bureau employees and senior intelligence officials informing them of the details of the Clinton Plan. They “failed to remember” any follow-up actions the Bureau might have taken after the second briefing on it.

The FBI, when it got the Steele dossier, knowing it to be the Clinton campaign fabrication they were briefed would be coming—when they got it, they went to Christopher Steele (author of the dossier) and offered to pay him $1 million, and pay his primary sources money, if anyone was able to provide proof (or at least provide plausible evidence).

As Glenn Beck explains, what we see is that, when Hillary Clinton’s operatives couldn’t get anything really solid, they pass the made-up dossier to the FBI. The FBI looks at it and goes, “This is garbage.” “Yeah, I know, but it could be true.” “All right. Offer him a million dollars if he can come up with something.”

FBI Agent Brian Auten traveled to Rome and met with Steele in October 2016. And he made the offer knowing that the dossier relied primarily on one person or sub-source. The Bureau paid that sub-source, Igor Danchenko, around $250,000 (of our tax money) even after he was unable to provide any evidence for a single claim.

The FBI made this payout even though they had significant evidence that Danchenko himself was Russian Intelligence. It had closed a counterintelligence investigation into him in 2011, because agents mistakenly believed he had left the country. The FBI had investigated Danchenko as a possible Russian spy from 2009-2011, after a colleague at the Brooking Institute, the left-leaning think tank where he worked, told the FBI that Danchenko raised the prospect of paying him for classified information if the colleague would join the Obama administration.

A second Brookings employee also told the FBI that he suspected Danchenko of being connected to Russian Intelligence. It became a full-fledged investigation when the FBI realized that Danchenko was a known associate of two other spies and had contacts with known Russian Intelligence officers, and had said he wanted to join the Russian diplomatic service. He also told another person that he worked on “special matters” for the Russian army and that his Russian passport listed him as connected to the Russian military intelligence service.

They paid Danchenko $250,000 to prove that Trump was colluding with people like him. He couldn’t come up with that evidence.

The Clinton campaign, with significant help from the FBI, and at least tacit approval from Obama, Biden, and the other senior administration officials, colluded with Russian spies to interfere with the 2016 election by claiming that Trump was doing the very thing they were actually doing.

Let’s add to that a few details.

The FBI comes out with a statement, after the report came out Monday: “The conduct in the 2016 and 2017 special counsel Durham examined was the reason that the current FBI leadership already implemented dozens of corrective actions, which now have been in place for some time.” As Glenn Beck adds, with some irony, “So they fixed it. Nothing to see here. No one went to jail. No one was fired. No one was held accountable. But trust us, they say, we’ve fixed it.”

Except, remember that guy who paid Steele in Rome? Agent Brian Auten? He was a primary figure in squelching the Hunter Biden laptop story just before the 2020 election. 2016 was the first attempt to take out Trump with election interference; 2020 was when they pulled out all the stops, and that was just one of them. So, no, the FBI hasn’t “fixed it,” clearly.

There’s this other niggling detail. I’m not sure yet whether it’s in the report. But the Steele dossier got them the FISA warrant, to spy on the Trump campaign. That was illegal, since they knew the dossier was fake, and was provided by the Clinton campaign, although they hid that information from the FISA judge.

But they kept spying, even after Trump was in the White House. Without any reason or pretext, they spied on a sitting president of the United States. If they would do that, what would they not do?

One question about this period is about the Adam Schiff lie. He was chair of the House Intelligence Committee at the time. Law professor Jonathan Turley tweets this:

Given Durham's findings that there was no basis for the actions taken by the FBI in launching this investigation, this would be a good time for former House Intelligence Chair Adam Schiff to reveal that evidence he said showed the Russian collusion… Schiff and other Democrats previously sought to prevent Durham from continuing his investigation and issuing this report.

Yes, I’d like to see exactly what evidence Schiff could produce, that he was referring to back then. But don’t expect media to actually ask the question.

The Commentary

Several of the commentators responding have referred to the episode as an attempted coup. That is not hyperbole. By definition, it was “a sudden appropriation of leadership or power; a takeover.” The people are supposed to be in power in America; we choose our leaders, who are obliged to abide by the law and listen to the people in making laws. 2016 was definitely a coup attempt. So was the Ukraine phonecall they impeached Trump for—wherein there were no laws broken, and in reality it was a cautious warning to Ukraine’s new president at the time of corruption in his government—which Biden was deeply involved in.

Then there was the 2020 election—in which they interfered by claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation so as to sway the election. And then there were all the changes in election law, supposedly because of COVID, making cheating easier. A coup is the Occam’s Razor explanation for a feeble candidate such as Biden, who barely campaigned and had no excited support, winning the election with more votes than any candidate in history.

Then there have been the various lawsuits, which in sane times would get immediately dismissed, but in our insane times seem to be an attempt to find something that will make Trump ineligible to run again, or at least make him even more unpalatable to voters. Add to that the raid on his home in Mar-a-Lago, over negotiations of papers the National Archives wanted and that he was cooperating with them on. The coup attempts continue into the foreseeable future.

So, here are a few perspectives I found worth listening to this week:

·       “FBI Insider REVEALS ALL To Mr Reagan - Durham Report EXPOSED” Chris Cole interviews former FBI Agent and current state Senate candidate for Northern Virginia, Mike Van Meter, discussing the Durham Report, May 17, 2023.

·       “LIVE: Inside the New Durham Report: Where’s the Accountability?—Jeff Carlson and Hans Mahncke” Jan Jekielek on American Thought Leaders for EpochTV, May 15, 2023. 

·       “Durham Bombshell Reveals Palace Coup Against America” Joshua Philipp on Crossroads, for EpochTV, May 16, 2023.  

·       “[DS] Staged A Coup, Treason, FBI/DOJ Cleaning, The 40,000ft View Reveals The Path – Ep. 3070” X22 Report, May 16, 2023.  

·       “Durham Report EXPLAINED: Here’s EVERYTHING we learned” Glenn Beck for The Blaze, May 16, 2023.  [This is the one I reference above.]

Here’s a bonus. Glenn Beck did a special Thursday evening, called "The Reckoning." He recognizes that we’re not satisfied with what we see as crimes being committed without penalty, while unfair accusations and law-fare are being wielded against innocent people. He suggests a plan, and he starts this series with the Biden crime family. He and his research team have identified 150 crimes committed by Hunter Biden—identifying only those with rock solid evidence, ranging from drugs, guns, and prostitution, to influence peddling and tax fraud. These are undisputed and well documented. He suggests that, while we have a partisan, corrupt DOJ who won’t prosecute, those crimes were committed in various states and localities. It’s possible to prosecute at the state or local level, without having to wait for a federal prosecutor. There’s plenty of precedent with various states going after Trump on invented charges. We don’t have to invent charges or evidence; we just have to make use of the evidence.

Beck has provided the documents. And he asks that we do some crowdsourcing—go through the documents, find crimes that were committed in our state or county or city, and pressure local officials to prosecute. Enough prosecutions from enough places could lead to some eventual reckoning.

Power Mongering

The word monger means to sell, or to make deals. It’s an older word, used only in certain circumstances today, more of them nefarious than on the up-and-up.

Power monger means dealing in power, as a commodity. It implies an insatiable hunger for getting it. I introduced the term in one of my earliest blog series, back in 2011. Grammatically, I debate still on whether to attach the words, or hyphenate. Words move from separate to hyphenated to attached, usually gradually, based on continuous frequency of connection. I’ve made an editorial decision for now to keep them separate, to make it clear what is being mongered.

 

Definition and note both from Merriam-Webster's online dictionary.
It can also be a verb, transitive, meaning peddle

This definition from the online American Heritage Dictionary, which pops up
at the top of the search, gives additional shades of meaning.

This week I’ve been watching “Who Is Hunter Biden?” the Part II second season of which came out last week. (It’s behind the paywall at Fox Nation.) There are an additional five episodes. It’s a lot to stomach. Don’t watch with children in the room—although actual graphic imagery is brief and blurred. The subject matter is the utter depravity of a man and his family who sell their influence for money and power.

Jeanine Pirro in the Who Is Hunter Biden? series,

While there is more detail, I didn’t see anything new. The Fox Nation series, led by Judge Jeanine Pirro, lays out what we’ve known, and what has been corroborated by the infamous laptop. A fair amount of commentary comes from Miranda Devine, author of The Laptop from Hell, as well as investigative journalist Mollie Hemingway and others. You can read their writings if you can’t get to the series. (You'd do well to read them in addition to watching the series.)

The shocking thing is that this much can be known, and yet nothing has been done about it.

The short version is Joe Biden, his son Hunter, his brother Jim, and the rest of the family have been making quid pro quo deals for many years—the entire time Joe Biden has been an elected public official (we won’t call it public service in his case).

Hunter has been the main deal maker, it appears, at least since his father became vice president in 2009. He is a crack addict and whoremonger and self-made pornographer. He has no marketable skills beyond selling his father's name. He is not a person to be trusted. And yet Joe Biden trusts him. They are liars and cheaters all.

One of the recovered texts, screenshot from the series

Another of the recovered texts, screenshot from the series

Deals have been done around the world, most notably in Ukraine and China. When you look at foreign policy today, with Joe Biden in the White House, there isn’t a more logical reason for the pouring of our resources into Ukraine and the kowtowing to China—which, by the way, recently included drawing down our strategic oil reserves, purportedly to help assuage the soaring gas prices here in the US after Biden shut down drilling and the Keystone pipeline, and then selling the reserves to China so that they could do nothing for struggling US citizens.

I won’t go into all the details of the series. There are too many today. What I will say is that these details are corroborated and known. If you’re unaware of them, that has been your choice. They were known before the 2020 election—although at that time you were told by biased media that it was Russian disinformation, until half a year later when they did a half-hearted mea culpa.

One of the things that struck me as I listened to the series was a quote of what Hunter Biden told his longtime friend and business partner Devon Archer after Archer’s incarceration for defrauding an American Indian tribe (as punctuated in the original): 

“Every great family is persecuted in the US-you are part of a great family-not a side show not deserted by them even in your darkest moments. That’s the way Biden’s are different and you are a Biden. It’s the price of power. And the people questioning you truly have none whereas you do through the perseverance and poise.”

Hunter Biden defines “great family” very differently from the way I do. After years of infidelity and betrayal to his first wife, he had a drug-binge-based affair with his brother’s widow shortly after his brother’s death. And then he went on to have an affair with the widow’s sister. There were tens of thousands of dollars spent on multiple occasions—subsidized by his father—for high priced hookers. Joe and Jill, by the way, didn’t meet on a blind date; they met at a campaign event and started their affair while she was still married. The lying and cheating are part of being a “great family,” according to Hunter.

But here he has a friend, in prison for a crime they both committed, that Hunter got off scot-free from. He tells him it’s part of being in their great family. The Bidens, however, get the benefit of the name; the extras, who are only like family apparently do not.

Then Hunter says it’s the “price of power.” All that persecution and prosecution is what he means. But prosecution for crimes isn’t, as he says, because you have power and “the people questioning you truly have none”; when you’ve committed crimes, the prosecution is for the crimes. Unless the prosecutor is corrupt. Maybe Hunter assumes everyone is corrupt, because that is the world he knows.

What does he know of power? He knows how to monger it—to sell influence in exchange for money, which allows him a lavish and self-indulgent lifestyle, at the expense of his country.

Worldly power is a temporary and fleeting thing. He doesn’t know real power. He doesn’t have the power to say no to drugs, or lying, or cheating, or debauchery beneath the tolerance of the vast majority of people in the world. He is too weak to say no to himself. He has relinquished his power to a lower authority—the source of evil, the source of all power mongering.

In the end, when those who have mastered themselves are given “all that the Father hath,” this so-called great family will be forever powerless.

Three Books and Some Other Research Assignments

There are things related to COVID-19 that I’ve been trying to piece together, as a regular citizen without expertise, since the whole thing started. And I’ve been surprised at the things that get labeled conspiracy theories that later get borne out as true. That is happening.

My reading list has grown considerably this week. In one video Dr. Ryan Cole quoted Mark Twain, saying, “The man who doesn’t read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.” The information is out there to be had. And a thinking person can find it. Thinking leads to the right questions, which eventually lead to true answers.

So mainly today I’m going to list the books to read and the videos to watch, with just a little about each one. And then you’re on your own.

·       The Real Anthony Fauci: Bill Gates, Big Pharma, and the Global War on Democracy and Public Health, by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

Kennedy was interviewed on Tucker Carlson Today, on November 15, 2021, an episode called “Coup de Vax.” He talks about a partnership between Fauci and Bill Gates, who came together with a plan to vaccinate essentially all of mankind. There’s a five-minute segment, mostly about Gates, that describes the type of corruption going on. And it’s a good illustration. Then we’ll go on to some of the dots that can be connected for Fauci’s personal culpability:

He began using his philanthropy to create a series of other quasi-governmental agencies: CEPI, GAVI, and a number of others. And then to gain control of the WHO.

He calls what he does philanthrocapitalism. It’s not about philanthropy; it’s about enriching the capitalist. What he does is, he buys—and he does this in a number of areas I show in the book. He does it with food. He did it with core curriculum. He buys large stakes in companies that could benefit from a change in governmental policies, a worldwide change in governmental policies. 

So he owns stakes, very very large stakes, in almost all the big pharmaceutical companies. Then he gives essentially about a billion dollars to WHO every year. But through Rotary International, through GAVI, through CEPI, and through the Gates Foundation—where the accumulation is even larger than the US, which is the second biggest. That gives him control over WHO’s policies. The analysts of WHO say there is nothing that goes through WHO that is unvetted first by the Gates Foundation.

And WHO controls the HIV money, and it funds the health agencies of most African countries. So they’re completely reliant on those annual checks from WHO. And what Gates and WHO do—or WHO on Gates’ behalf, because a lot of people at WHO do not want to do this—he is taking them away from their traditional occupations, which was economic development, hygiene, food supply, food production, and local democracy and local controls. So, WHO does very little of those things now, and they really focus—over 50% of their budget focuses on one of Gates’ vaccines only, the polio vaccine, which is a flawed vaccine. The polio vaccine, according to WHO’s own number, causes 70% of the polio on earth every year. So it’s not a successful vaccine.

But, what he does then is, he, through WHO—WHO will go in and say to an African country, “If you want your annual check from us, here’s what you’ve got to do. You have to show an 80% uptake of the DTP vaccine.” The DTP vaccine we don’t use in white countries, the United States. That’s the vaccine that was killing one out of every 300 kids. We got rid of it. Europeans got rid of it. But Gates gives 161 million African children that vaccine every year. And what he’ll say is, he’ll say—the WHO will say to this country, “You don’t get your HIV money; you don’t your systems money to run your health agency, unless you can show us you’ve vaccinated 80% of your kids”—that’s a hypothetical number, but it will be something like that—“with the DTP vaccine.” So those countries, then, are forced to buy that vaccine. And that vaccine, they have to purchase it ultimately from one of the companies that Gates is heavily invested in.

And Gates— He has a $33 billion corpus that he has put in the Gates Foundation, but it’s still his money. He’s still controlling it. And it’s now tax-deductible. It’s shielded from taxes. And he is now deploying it to change government policies in a way that it enriches companies that he’s elsewhere invested in.

And he does the same thing with food. He has switched many millions of Africans from subsistence that they’ve been doing successfully for, you know, 10,000 generations, to GMO crops, to heavily, you know, lots of chemical agriculture, carbon-based fertilizers—all have to be imported by his companies. He has huge investments in Monsanto, Cargill, and in the processed food companies that are then buying up those commodities cheap: Coca-Cola, McDonald’s, and Kraft Cheese. Those kinds of things.

So, the more you look at it, the more corrupt it gets.

But his deal with Tony Fauci—you know, which I go into in detail, what the result, the outcome for that bargain on the lives and health of millions and millions of Africans and South Asians has been absolutely catastrophic.

On a related note, there was this story today about Gates, doing what Kennedy described above, in the area of media:

·       “Bill Gates has given $319 million to bankroll select media outlets and change the public narrative—and the internet has receipts” by Sarah Taylor for The Blaze, November 18, 2021.

The next book on the list came up on Glenn Beck’s show November 17:

·         Faucian Bargain: The Most Powerful and Dangerous Bureaucrat in American History, by Steve Deace and Todd Erzen

Glenn Beck did another major explanation of corruption, called "Crimes and Cover-Up: Exposing the World's Most Dangerous Lie." It took three chalkboards. I was a full two hours. So far it’s still available on YouTube, and will continue to be available on BlazeTV (with subscription).

Many of the details are things I have come across before. He traces the history of SARS back to 2002. Anthony Fauci, before that, was attempting to come up with a vaccine for HIV, but he was doing it with an early version of mRNA, which didn’t qualify as a vaccine, by definition (the definition recently changed to accommodate the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines) and wasn’t effective. But he has been determined to come up with this new vaccine technology and have it be required for everyone in the world to take.

If you go through the history, you’ll see the connections between Dr. Baric of, I think, North Carolina University, and Dr. Shi Zhengli—the one called “the bat lady”—from China. Add in Peter Daszak, of EcoHealth, who managed funding from NIH to the Wuhan lab during the time government funding was disallowed for gain-of-function research. Dr. Fauci is involved in all of that. And recent emails show that he recognized the problems with the probable lab-leak revealing their secret funding.

There’s a careful timeline, with backup materials Beck says to go through yourself. So I downloaded those. It includes a three-page PDF list of sources. At the bottom it thanks DRASTIC research “for their tireless pursuit of the truth,” and then links to their in-depth work. I followed the link to here.

Concerning Fauci they have this segment:

Fauci approved a grant of $600,000 to the WIV [Wuhan Institute of Virology] for bat coronavirus research.  Fauci has sworn to Congress that this was not for “gain-of-function” research.  Fauci was relying on a very narrow definition of the term, in which the purpose of the research was to produce more potent viruses.

There is no doubt that the type of genetic engineering conducted at the WIV and other research institutions could have produced potent viruses, even if its purpose was simply to examine the effects of such manipulation. Fauci and others involved in the grant, such as Peter Daszak, have a clear interest in the virus not to have been produced as a result of this research.

It will take some time to go through all of this material. But if Beck’s summary is accurate—and I believe it is, because so much coincides with what I’m seeing elsewhere and have been collecting from multiple sources for well over a year—then we can see in real time the kind of worldwide corruption that we thought we left behind in the last century: the needless deaths of millions of people because of the selfish designs of tyrants who claim they care about “the collective” while disposing of anyone they don’t care about. And they don’t care about anyone who questions them, disagrees with them, or simply can’t grant them more power.

Exposing the World's Most Dangerous Lie."

When he reviews the three chalkboards, he points out that, on that first one, titled “The Vaccine Arms Race,” the main players, Dr. Ralph Baric, Dr. Shi Zhengli—“the bat lady” of China—and Peter Daszak of EcoHealth Alliance are there from the beginning and throughout. But at the point he’s not ascribing ill intent. As he says,

These people actually believe that they should check all animals for all viruses. And they should find a vaccine for all of them, so we’ll always be prepared. OK, I think that’s insane. Very dangerous. But then again, I’ve been to the movie theater before.

But then there’s the big lie. There’s the connection to Anthony Fauci. He managed to pay for gain-of-function research—rather, he used our taxpayer dollars to pay for it, by funneling grant money through EcoHealth, during the years using government funding for it was not allowed. And then there’s this connection with Moderna, from 2015 on, and some very suspicious timing issues, and missing information.

On the second chalkboard, titled “The Pandemic Begins,” is where things start to look sleazy, with public-private partnerships popping up in places that benefit whoever Fauci decides they should benefit.

The real disturbing part is on the third chalkboard, title “Censorship & Cover-Up,” where he goes through a number of those Fauci emails that were recently released. There’s this part:

Two of the three men directing this propaganda campaign—and, make no mistake, as you will see, that’s exactly what it is. They were supposed to be part of Trump’s administration. Look at all of these facts. Is there any other way to describe it other than Fauci and the President’s science advisor colluding behind the President’s back, withholding information from him. Fauci has already been brought in front of Congress, and Rand Paul caught him in a bold-faced lie. Fauci will testify again. But it’s probably time to bring in the former president’s science advisor as well. Just a few, a couple questions, like, “Did you withhold information from the President? Did you ever lie to him?” That’s what will get it started.

Once you’ve watched Glenn Beck’s special, follow it up with Steve Deace’s panel discussion with Dr. Ryan Cole and Daniel Horowitz, titled “Crimes or Cover-Up? Answering the Forbidden Questions of COVID-19,” on The Blaze.

A third book not on my list is Dr. Scott Atlas’s book about COVID-19:

·         A Plague Upon Our House: My Fight at the Trump White House to Stop COVID from Destroying America, Dr. Scott W. Atlas, MD

I learned about it from his conversation with Tucker Carlson from November 17. Dr. Atlas was brought in to advise President Trump in late summer 2020. What he faced there was a “troika” of doctors: Birx, Fauci, and Redfield. All had worked together from back in the days of trying to develop an HIV vaccine. All are bureaucrats rather than doctors who see patients.

What surprised Dr. Atlas was how they never referred to any data during their meetings. He would bring in multiple studies for every meeting. They didn’t refute any of them. They simply ignored all data.

I’ve sensed that Dr. Redfield would like to have been more open to discussion, because he has been, somewhat, since his retirement. But that doesn’t excuse the utter lack of working with data during those task force meetings. The other two are probably beyond excuse. Dr. Atlas also couldn’t understand their lack of critical thinking.

So, after this sort of bombardment of info this week—all from independent sources, rather than what we now tend to call “legacy media”—maybe we’ll just list a few of the questions that come up when you look at what’s happening and do some critical thinking:

·       Why did we quarantine healthy people, instead of the most vulnerable, unlike all past disease outbreaks?

·       Why did “15 days to flatten the curve,” to avoid overwhelming the hospitals turn into 18 months (and counting) of “eradicate the disease” without any explanation for moving the goalposts?

·       Why is natural immunity ignored or dismissed, as if it doesn’t exist—when what doesn’t exist is any study showing it doesn’t exist?

·       Why is a vaccine being pushed for everyone, regardless of their risk factors, age, or natural immunity?

·       Why are vaccine injuries ignored?

·       Why was the definition of vaccine changed to remove the term “immunity”?

·       Why is the vaccine still being pushed (and attempted to be mandated) when it does no more than lessen virulence, and weakens in even that effectiveness within months?

·       Why have cheap, effective, safe drugs been banned?

·       Why have doctors been threatened for treating patients with treatments that work?

·       Why is damage to the economy and to other parts of public health ignored, with focus all on one single illness?

·       What has the censorship been intended to accomplish?

·       Why has the virus origin still not been found? Or that the probable origin location not acknowledged?

·       Who is to blame for the unnecessary deaths?

·       Why have so many people been willing to submit to edicts from elite doctors who do not provide their reasoning backed by data?

·       When will we stop the harmful lockdowns, shutdowns, and masks and get back to some sort of normal life?

·       When will the story of collusion and cover-up become common knowledge?

 

One last rather important question: When we are among those who have learned the truth, what do we do with it?

More Secret Acts Revealed

“For their iniquities shall be spoken upon the housetops, and their secret acts shall be revealed.”—Doctrine and Covenants 1:3

If only the truth could be known, the lies uncovered, so that people could make a clear choice—that has been my prayer, and I’m sure that of many others. So I shouldn’t be surprised when I see things like this happening.

I used that verse back in May (here). The plot continues to twist.

New York Post headline
image from here

October 14, the New York Post put out a story that was quashed by Twitter and Facebook—telling people it was potentially harmful. By that they mean harmful to the Biden campaign, which those companies support. What was the story?

Last April, 2019, Hunter Biden dropped off a laptop for repair in his home state of Delaware. He failed to pick it up, despite repeated contacts from the repair shop. After 90 days, it became the possession of the repair shop, as per policy. Later that year, the repair shop owner became aware of investigations into Hunter Biden’s involvement in Ukraine; it was part of the President’s defense against accusations leading to his impeachment. The shop owner began to wonder if he was in possession of evidence in the investigation, so he opened up the hard drive.

There was indeed evidence there. In particular, there were emails regarding Hunter’s influence peddling, leveraging access to his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, with Joe Biden's full knowledge and involvement.

The repair shop owner made a copy of the hard drive and gave the original to the FBI. The FBI received the original laptop and hard drive in December 2019—when impeachment was in full swing, and a main part of the President’s defense was that Biden and his son actually were involved in corruption in Ukraine, which made his July request to Ukraine perfectly justified. But the FBI did not bring forth this new evidence. Nor have they since.

Meanwhile, the repairman contacted Rudy Giuliani’s attorney to offer the hard drive and evidence. I believe that was also in December. That seems like a weird way to get information out, but it’s working. The FBI had three-quarters of a year to bring out this information and failed to do so. Giuliani at least gets heard when he speaks. But the New York Post reports that it was Steve Bannon who contacted them, in September, about the hard drive, which they gained access to on Sunday, October 11, 2020, three days before the story broke.

Rudy Giuliani explains the story to Steven Crowder

Giuliani reports that, yes, the hard drive is authentic. The emails are real, and have been further verified by others included in the thousands of emails on the hard drive. This morning I heard on Glenn Beck Radio that one of Hunter Biden’s former business partners, now in prison, who is among those in the emails, has verified their legitimacy. And a second former partner, awaiting sentencing, is also ready to verify.

Oddly, Hunter Biden’s attorney contacted the repair shop the day after the news broke, and asked for the return of the property—which of course is no longer in possession of the shop, but also is no longer the property of Hunter Biden, since it was abandoned a year and a half ago. Odd timing if coincidence; rather, it verifies that the laptop was indeed Hunter Biden’s and is in no way part of some campaign disinformation.

The lawyer made contact by phone and email; Giuliani has the email. Also, in case you’re wondering, because I was, Hunter Biden himself dropped off the laptop at the repair shop and signed a receipt for it; Giuliani now holds that receipt.

What was on the hard drive? Besides some lewd video, which also happened to show Hunter’s relatively current use of cocaine—the problem which led to his ouster from the military—supposedly all recovered from. In the first debate, Joe Biden claimed it was an outright lie that his son was dishonorably discharged, but when that didn’t fly, he tried the sympathy angle claiming that, yes, his son had battled an addiction, but he’d overcome it and Joe was proud of his son for that. Just another Biden lie.

But, as to the corruption, one particular email revealed by the New York Post, mentions a meeting, from around 2014, between an advisor to the board of Burisma, Vadym Pozharskyi, along with Hunter and Joe Biden in Washington, DC. It reads,

"Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to D.C. and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It's realty [sic] an honor and pleasure."

Another email from earlier that year shows Pozharskyi asking Hunter Biden for “advice on how you could use your influence” to help Burisma.

In case you’re not remembering, Joe Biden did use his influence, and bragged about it. Video here. He used the threat of withholding aid if Ukraine didn’t immediately fire the prosecutor who was investigating Burisma. And if you need a refresher on Burisma and Ukrainian corruption connected to the Bidens and the Obama administration, review here, here, and here.

What else is in those emails? We don’t know yet, but I suspect we’ll see how Hunter leveraged his connection to his VP father in China to get sweetheart deals—even though those deals were in China’s best interests and against America’s. Also, there was that thing about a big payment from the wealthy wife of a Russian mayor, as mentioned during the first debate.

Joe Biden has lied, saying he knew nothing about his son’s business dealings; they never talked about them; that was discredited shortly afterward by Hunter himself, but the media in general failed to notice. In fact, every time an accusation about Hunter’s corruption comes up, Joe Biden says that was discredited, repeated in the first debate—but he fails to give details about any discrediting, and the complicit media fails to follow up.

There’s a long-time question about how someone who has been paid a politician’s salary for 47 years could amass a fortune consisting of a couple of mansions plus millions of dollars in assets. 

He earned between $42,500 and $174,000 a year as a Senator, between 1973 and 2009. As VP, his salary rose to $230,000 a year. But somehow he now makes about $15 million a year, mostly for speaking engagements of up to $100,000, and a book deal one year of $8 million. Oh, and his wife continues to teach at a community college.

Have you heard him speak? Who would pay $100,000 for that? It would require 150 such speaking engagements a year to make $15 million. Does he have a list of those speaking engagements so we can verify that many per year? And let’s not assume his writing has more clarity; $8 million up front requires selling a lot of books. I don't remember any such book. 

By the way, it hardly gets mentioned anymore, but the first time he ran for president he was forced to drop out because the news came out about his plagiarism. He didn’t correct that behavior, or make up for it; he just buried it, counting on the press not to bring it up.

Let’s add in recent info about the Michael Flynn case.[i] The case against Flynn was bogus from the start. It was feared that, once he took his position in the Trump administration, he would find out what corruption had been going on. There was a White House meeting we know about on January 5, 2017, attended by Obama and Biden, in which Flynn was discussed; it was Biden who suggested using the long-dead and wrongly applied Logan Act to go after Flynn—after which Flynn was manipulated into a plea deal to avoid threatened attacks on his son. Even now, once all this is known, the case hasn’t been dismissed, because the judge refuses to let go and even going so far as to hire his own attorney to dig up reasons that the prosecution should not have dropped charges. The judge called Flynn a traitor, guilty of treason, even though it’s clear there was never a case. It’s an egregious miscarriage of justice, carried out at Biden’s particular suggestion.

Biden family corruption almost makes Clinton family corruption look normal.[ii]

So he’s been amassing a fortune, particularly since 2009. And we have evidence that he has used his political influence to enrich his family; that has been the family business. The very things he has accused the President of, illicit use of government power for personal gain, are actions he has actually taken.

And, for those who claim the President’s character is too much to overcome—why do you fail to believe Biden’s sexual assault accuser, Tara Reade? When his public behavior has been an issue for many many years? By the way, even his story about how he met his wife is a lie; they met a year earlier, when she and her then-husband were both working on his campaign. Biden began an affair with her that doomed her marriage.

And there was the lie about the death of his first wife. It was a tragic accident. But he made it worse by claiming that the truck driver—who was not at fault in any way—was a drunk driver who killed his wife and daughter, ruining the man’s life. No reason—other than the lie garnered more sympathy from voters. Despicable!

Let’s add to the lies that Biden uses a teleprompter at campaign rallies, which include only specially invited attendees who will not reveal the secret.

Somehow we are supposed to see this deeply corrupt pathological liar and traitor to our country as the “good character” alternative to President Donald Trump?

The other day I mentioned “chatter.” This is info I have heard but cannot validate. I’m not an investigative reporter. I read this in a Facebook group aimed at people of my religion who are supporting President Trump. It was shared from a post I tracked down to the origin of the thread. However, I noticed in comments that someone asked to share it, assuming it was written by that person, and the person replied they could go ahead and cut and paste, which is what he had done, because it hadn’t had the “share” option. So I think that means he got it from someone else, unattributed. This is multiple layers down, but the person being quoted is former Utah representative Jason Chaffetz. I think he is reliable; if he said what he is purported to have said, it’s worth an additional note here among Joe Biden’s character assessments, and it may explain some of what we’ve been observing in Joe Biden. I’m including just the main points:

Ronnie Solomon    October 7

I met with Jason Chaffetz on Friday. He was a congressman for 12 yrs. during Obama and Trump administrations….

[Joe Biden] is a very angry easily triggered person.

A large reason for this is because he has a huge drinking problem. He is an angry drunk. He was know to be drunk a lot around the WH during his time as VP. When you see him being too friendly and touchy he has had too much to drink.

This is why Obama did not endorse him until the very end and why he told Biden you don’t need to do this.

Remember he is the one who is overly aggressive in public with voters calling them fat, pony faced soldier liars, racist etc. those you can pull up on the internet. Also we all saw him on debate night calling the President a clown, racist, liar, and the worst President ever!

He is a bad drunk. The left knows this and keeps it hidden because they know they can use it to their advantage.

Chaffetz also told incredible stories about Trump behind the scenes helping, caring, and comforting others. The media of course will cover none of this….

We’ve been discussing lately how too many people get only the news that is fed to them. I think that, because it was mainstream source the New York Post (which has literally been around since Alexander Hamilton) that got censored with this Hunter Biden story, it has actually gotten more coverage than it would have. But there’s a lot to cover. So I’m providing a list of stories I accessed, somewhat separated by category, and somewhat chronological. And you can see the variety of sources. Beyond the NY Post, and one CNBC story that seems to have been written in a fog, they’re all non-MSM. That’s where to go for actual news.

That's a whole lot of solid evidence against Joe Biden. But we shouldn't be voting simply to be against someone, as disastrous as that someone might be. So in a coming post, maybe I'll put together the reasons to vote for Trump, which has something to do with the survival of America as we know it.
