Guest Post by Jim Kunstler
Was it just me, or did you also notice that NBC’s Savannah Guthrie decided to play Special Prosecutor in Thursday night’s “town hall” gotcha-fest with Mr. Trump, who they had perched on some Modernista stool-of-punishment? The hectoring interrogation started from the get-go — the “townies” distributed around the set apparently just props — while Ms. Guthrie barked over the President with various renderings of the old shyster’s retort, but do you still beat your wife?
Over on ABC, Ol’ White Joe Biden lounged comfortably in low light and cushy seating with his therapist, George Stephanopoulos, free associating on the wonders and marvels he will bring about in the Kingdom Come of his presidency. Strangely, the subject of his family’s lucrative business dealings in Ukraine, China, and Russia a few years back never came up in the confab, a therapeutic omission that seemed to amount to malpractice.
I speak of the evidence found on a laptop computer apparently belonging to R. Hunter Biden, Ol’ White Joe’s crackhead son, outlining the many services Biden & Co. rendered to bigwigs in foreign lands for millions of dollars when Pop, “the big guy,” was vice-president. The Democrats’ new Ministry of Truth played a DEFCON-3 defense on these matters when it all broke in The New York Post at midweek. Twitter labeled it “unsafe” and banned all transmission of the news. Facebook’s Communication’s Director Andy Stone, a former Democratic Party employee (House Majority Political Action Committee Director; Press Secretary to Sen. Barbara Boxer), likewise squashed any links to the story on FB’s social network.
The New York Times rolled out the latest Ministry of Truth strategy Friday morning, in a tortured front-page story resorting to the tried-and-true claim that the laptop evidence was “Russian disinformation.” Sh’yeah…. The laptop had languished in the possession of Christopher Wray’s FBI since December 2019. The evidence contained in its some-40,000 emails pertained exactly to the matters at issue in the impeachment of President Trump at that time, i.e. Ukraine favor-seeking. The Delaware repair shop owner who handed over the machine burned a copy of its hard-drive, and when the FBI just sat on all that, he turned the drive over to Rudy Giuliani, one of the President’s attorneys.
One would have to suppose a number of things about these explosive revelations: For instance, that the FBI conducted some kind of forensic study of the laptop and its contents, and that it would not be too difficult to ascertain that the email trove was authentically the “work product” of R. Hunter Biden. If so, Mr. Wray has an awful lot to answer for.
Likewise, one might suppose that Rudy Giuliani, working on an extremely consequential case for a sitting president, and being a former distinguished federal attorney experienced with, and fastidious about, the handling of evidence, took some pains to ascertain the authenticity of the documents he received. Having done so, one might also suppose that Mr. Giuliani had handed off this material to the Attorney General, Mr. Barr — along with documentation he’s known to have collected about the Biden family’s money-laundering trail through the Baltic states to process additional payments for services rendered above and beyond the millions paid to R. Hunter Biden by Burisma, the Ukrainian gas company whose board of directors he was installed on in 2014.
What all that evidence speaks of is a Biden & Co. foreign influence-peddling scheme that amounts to selling out the USA while Ol’ White Joe was vice-president carrying out official tasks in the countries that paid his son enormous sums of money. The evidence clearly contradicts Mr. Biden’s basic claim that he never spoke with his son, Hunter, about his business dealings. The evidence also indicates clearly that Mr. Biden, then vice-president, received a cut of the collected lucre distributed among the family members. In a normal America, these issues would prompt some sort of official inquiry possibly leading to indictments. But these are the most abnormal times, and the final weeks of a vicious national election that is an existential threat to that coterie of Deep State seditionists whose careers, reputations, and livelihoods are at stake in the outcome.
So, of course, their Ministry of Truth is pulling out all the stops to squash the story. But their hubris is showing. Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook and Jack Dorsey of Twitter, being mega-billionaires, probably think that they have the resources to hire every attorney in the known universe to guard their empires. One important lesson for the nation might come out of this: that lawyers and lawfare do not amount to a supernatural protection force. The truth has a mighty power of its own and there are moments in history when it manages to overcome organized evil.

One can only hope so.
Sorry, Jim; at this juncture it is more than clearly established that just about nobody in the national, most state, and many cities’ Government gives a steaming coil of shit about the “Truth.”
Power, perks and the ability to do just about whatever-the-fuck-they-want-to is the Prime Directive from the Evil Fuckers to their toadies, lackies, and Stepin Fetchitz.
Don’t even start with the legacy Media or Silicon Valley’s Thought Police. They are about as honest as the Soviet times owners of the office space on Dzerzhinsky Square.
In today’s ‘Merkin landscape Pravda, China National Radio, and Press T.V. would be the preferred choices for objective news and information.
That is precisely why desperate Americans have been turning to Commie shit-and-piss outlets like Zerohedge and RT, and buying the propaganda that Putin is now a (pretend) conservative protector of family values, instead of a Red Commie dictator for life.
Yet so many Mormons like Romney, Lee and Harry Reid spout all the civil rights crap.
Our daily mormontard crock of shit.
Pretty much sums it up Auntie.
That repair shop owner deserves to have his face carved on Mt. Rushmore.
I listened to the press ‘questioning’ the poor man on Big League politics. He clearly was afraid of what he had found, clearly was an honest small businessman caught in a tough spot, AND he is a courageous man. He said he had been afraid of what might happen to him. He said the FBI told him people who keep quiet are better off than people who talk. Thank God he made a hard drive copy of the laptop, which as abandoned property belonged to him under Delaware law.
Our FBI clearly suppressed this material and strongly ‘advised’ him to shut up. The FBI is just gone, folks. The FBI should be dismantled; it is a mortal threat to the survival of our nation.
Thank God for Rudy G. and this good man who blew his whistle. As for the MSM, their shame is boundless and unforgivable. Facebook and Twitter will pay for this, too. The B——s, the S–s of B—–s. No quarter now for all of them. Or as Lawrence of Arabia shouted: “No Prisoners! No Prisoners!”
Giuliani was (and still is) involved up to his eyeballs in the cover-up of 9/11. Whatever he might or might not be, he is not a good man.
Stop with the bullshit.
The truth, the Constitution, honest public servants–such quaint concepts from the distant past in the USA. Corruption has overwhelmed our system of government. It will never get better, only worse.
That’s my hopeful thought for the day.
Trap, It WILL get better, but not until after the storm.
Agreed, but we must hold their feet to the fire, until the storm washes away the deep corruption.
When somebody actually takes the fall for this — like that’s really gonna happen — it will be interesting, to say the least.
Like watching set dominoes, all it needs is one to tip over… but these dominoes are glued together (apparently with Hunter Biden’s semen). It’s all rigged. They’ll never see a day in jail.
Wouldn’t that scare the crap right out of you if the info on that laptop was fake?
No one is safe. Your whole life/identity can be faked.
Political pundits are either already fully informed of the nefarious activities of the so called “deep state,” or they are woefully naive and too uninformed to be effective as an unbiased, objective journalist.
What’s actually in play here? Is it the right of the media to select who the interrogators are going to be, or is it up to those who must work around the cadre of communist lackeys that have already sold their souls to rise to the illustrious position of a network talking head?
Who continues to put up with this obvious one-sided brouhaha that know no bounds and that launches barrage after barrage of attacks against a sitting president?
What is conclusively glaringly apparent is that the so called most powerful person in the world, can’t even tame the obnoxious moderators that harass and belittle him every time he appears on network television.
Who’s actually in control?
If the dirt on Biden is legitimate, why can’t Trump schedule prime time airing and disclose the facts to the know nothing clueless sheeple?
I’m not defending Trump, I’m only wanting to make perfectly clear that power is not in his hands, or any of his administration and that as a result of recent events, it’s most obvious that the dreaded coup has in fact taken place long ago.
Continuing to play this ridiculous game of left/right, demonrat/republicon dichotomy is becoming very stale to those who have figured things out a while back.
It’s only theater, folks, and a sick form of entertainment for the masses to keep them placated and amused, while the nation continues to sink beneath the waves to obscurity, that was brought on by the unquenchable, burning desire to commit national suicide. Great job, America, you’ve succeeded.
O My people! Their oppressors are children, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray, And confuse the direction of your paths. – Isa. 3:12
Have you helped to elect women into office? Then you are also part of the problem.
Women governors, mayors, police chiefs, military officers, prosecuting attorneys, the nation is thoroughly permeated by women who have been either elected or appointed to high positions. If you weren’t actively opposing this errant policy, then you are part of the problem.
It was only a century ago that they weren’t permitted to vote. That was the law of the land.
Who worked diligently to change that?
The truth will set you free and conversely, continuing to believe the lies spewed forth from the lying tongues of your overlords will continue to hold you more securely in bondage than shackles and chains.
Go stand in line to vote and hopefully convince yourself that you can continue to perpetuate the myth that it makes a difference. Sheeple always follow the Judas goat up the ramp to slaughter. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh.
I kind of fear you’re right Panzer, but on the off chance you aren’t I’ll still go vote. Not much else to do around here for about 1/2 an hour on Nov 3rd anyway.
If he’s right and we go vote, it means nothing. If he’s wrong and we don’t vote we screw ourselves. I will vote and it will be for Trump.
“Vice President Biden sir, Trump is a racist. Is that good for America?”
“Mr. Trump, why are you a racist?”
Two completely different formats, two completely different styles of moderator and two completely different types of questions.
with the same result, protect the guy who represents the racket your are involved in.
The press, the DNC and the deep state (at every level) are all 100% corrupt
We watched the events, we had to Google times n such, to see when scheduled.
While reviewing the listing something immediately stood out.
Joe Biden Town Hall HOSTED by Steponallofus.
President Trump Town Hall MODERATED by a rabid chihuahua.
And this despairity was on every listing, Hosted vs. Moderated.
Joe needs to be hosted, Trump needs moderation.
All that said, I think most Americans appreciate Trumps ability to hold his own under intense pressure, its a tough damn job that I would never want.
“All that said, I think most Americans appreciate Trumps ability to hold his own under intense pressure” Bingo.
So far, the O’Biden (and I do mean ” ‘O’ “Biden) crime family is protected. Will it last? Hope not, Certainly if O’Biden wins, then this will all magically disappear. And for sure. Wray is corrupt or incompetent, or both. I vote corrupt.
Very good. “George” and “Joe” sound strangely similar. Separated at “after birth”.
If one was to ask most on the left side of the political aisle if they really care if all the allegations are true. Most would probably say they don’t truly care or refuse to answer at all; end of debate and or story.
