Guest Post by Jim Kunstler
“The difference between you and me,” Mr. Trump said to the ever more ghostly Joe Biden, fading mentally late in the action on the debate stage, “is that I’m not a politician and you are, and you’re a crooked politician.” Millions watching this spectacle might not have noticed, due to the media’s near-complete blackout of news detailing the Biden family’s adventures in systematic global moneygrubbing, but the Democratic candidate for president has political Ebola, a hemorrhagic fever of credibility, now gushing out of every pore and orifice.
Twitter and Facebook may try to squelch the story, but the evidence is all over the Internet now, like blood on a crime scene, in verifiable emails, texts, Snapchats, memoranda, and bank records that Ol’ White Joe Biden is at the center of a decades-long influence-peddling spree, selling his personal services to China, Russia, Ukraine, and any other country seeking favors in US government policy, and that this slime-trail of grift disqualifies him from holding high office as much as the irreversible rot of his cognitive abilities.
The “Laptop from Hell” affair has twelve more days to play out before the November 3 vote and the Democratic Party is in a terrible jam. Do they ask Mr. Biden to step aside, or do they keep running with him while the barrage of allegations and hard evidence pours down on them like so many mortar rounds on a besieged bunker? It’s obvious now that one way or another, voters are actually being asked to elect Kamala Harris president — but who asked for her? Only the disgraced and disabled head of the ticket, Joe Biden, desperate for a non-white running mate. Elsewise, she was so disliked by voters that she skulked out of the Iowa caucuses, ending her own run. Is Hillary ironing her purple pantsuit up in Chappaqua, awaiting the emergency call from her DNC?
The early 2020 impeachment gambit has finally blown up in the Democrats’ faces, too, as it’s now obvious the phony furor over Mr. Trump’s phone call to Ukraine President Zelensky was ginned up to smother any inquiry into Hunter Biden’s $83,000-a-month services to the Burisma gas company and its crooked chief, Mykola Zlochevsky, with help from then US Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch and several of her staff, as well as then Secretary of State John Kerry.
Interestingly, figures associated with Mr. Kerry (the 2004 Democratic party nominee), Devon Archer and Christopher Heinz (Mr. Kerry’s stepson) also happened to be business associates of Hunter Biden’s, and therefore the Biden family syndicate. Mr. Archer is currently under conviction, awaiting sentencing, on a federal securities fraud rap. If US attorneys out of the DOJ have any interest in talking to him, they have a lever to incentivize his testimony about many of the transactions involving Burisma in Ukraine and the Chinese companies that were funneling payments to the Bidens for “introductions” to US persons of influence.
The Democrats have a whole lot of bad behavior to defend, ranging far beyond the Bidens to the decades-long activities of the Clintons in their charity frauds, the related Uranium One matter — in which $150-million in Russian money found its way into the Clinton Foundation — and the deal that set up transfers of US secret computer tech to Russia’s Skokovo project, which eventuated in Russia’s development of hypersonic weapons. Not to mention the RussiaGate coup operation to overthrow the president using false allegations supplied by Mrs. Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, and scores of high officials in a range of executive agencies.
Ironically many of those same schemers are at it again in the recent letter by a long list of former Intel spooks trying to discredit The New York Post’s reporting on Hunter Biden’s laptop as “having all the earmarks” of a Russian disinformation op. At the top of the list of that letter’s signers, you’ll find John Brennan, CIA chief under Obama, and James Clapper former Director of National Intelligence – both of them progenitors of the RussiaGate coup and liable to prosecution for seditious conspiracy. Can you smell their desperation?
Something else may be turning now, though, on this titanic hairball of corruption and deceit: mainstream media reporters starting to jump into lifeboats to save their reputations by actually reporting honestly on developments in this web of stories. The few early adapters to truth-telling may be the only survivors. The ones who stick with the ship of deception are going down into cold and darkness. And if President Trump wins reelection — a possibility despite polling that, in many cases, is just propaganda — the public will learn exactly how the Democratic Party became the enemy of the people.

Brilliant, Insightful, and Prophetic.
“Democrat” party, not “Democratic” party. “Democratic” makes them sound like something positive, since everyone out there always touts how good and wonderful “democracy” is…
“Demoncrat” party. Only damned souls who work for Ol’ Scratch could let once-great cities be looted and burn, murder babies just-about-to-be-born, and sell their services to the worst bidders.
Please let us know when the first indictment of the traitors is handed up. I am almost 70, so I doubt I will live long enough to see it. I also doubt if my son, grandson or new-born great-granddaughters will live long enough to see any of them brought to justice. You know, the big club thingy.
Buck up TN!We perhaps may not see convictions but would be happy to just see the country go from a crony capitalist system to a true free market economy and back to our constitutional roots,though may be one hell of a fight worth it!
Of course I don’t plan just on hope(keep shopping!)but am willing to have hope and willing to fight for this country.
It just gets frustrating to see all of the evidence that has been dragged out by a few intrepid investigative reporters through FOIA requests and the Dept. of Just Us declining to prosecute.
The one thing that I fault Trump for is not going after the Hildebeast once he was elected. If you or I destroyed a single e-mail (much less 33,000 of them) that had been subpoenaed, we would be in deep do-do.
I am certainly willing to fight, but don’t know how effective I can be, but willing to risk my life so the aforementioned progeny can have a chance to experience the America that I once knew.
Godspeed, James.
TN,the double nickel mark a few years past in me rear view mirror,amazing what good glass optics does for eye site!Until dead we have a lot to offer including a fixed position we will fight like hell for as our retreat will not be quick!
Seriously,all who live can fight,perhaps not the front lines but from a fixed table 8′ back from a window with aforementioned optics ect.Comms./food/medical all also ways to contribute along with info./a place to rest ect.
As for younger folk,teaching them basic skills like gardening/carpentry/alt power/mechanics ect. skills that need to be passed on.
Look,we are old,the threat of life in prison has for most part lost it’s deterrence value and we are at a point of nothing to lose/everything to gain!
Like I always say,I find children at best annoying but am grateful despite a lot of hard times to have lived in this country despite it issues and am the “Crazy Uncle James” to a lot of friends kids.
So,with all that said,see ya’s in the fields and when over we will have a beer/coffee ect.on the Mason/Dixon lines(drawn up by foreigners!)and make fun of each others accents,till then,keep your powder dry and your heart steeled.
James – I had the pleasure to teach 4 of my grandsons to shoot when they were around 4. Bought a .22 that looks like and AR and they fell in love with it. It was a pain in the ass to load the 25 rd magazines, but I would load as many as they wanted to shoot or until the ammo was gone. They are in their teens and early 20’s now and like to shoot the bigger stuff, but we still break out the old .22 occasionally and blow through some mags.
I worked with them this past year and we built a front porch roof and a 24 & 20 deck. It was another pleasure to show them how to lay it out and by the time we finished, they were doing most of it with me there to answer any questions.
I doubt there will be a retreat for me. I will provide cover fire while they find their way to safety.
BTW – keep reminding everyone to stock up while there is ample supply. There are newbies dropping by all the time.
OK,while food/tools/fuel/med ect. still available and reasonably priced,well……,go shopping!
As for that retreat,you will have a few Yankees watching out for ya’s(remember,good glass/optics/300/.308 ect.),will be a 2 way street and will figure out the beer afterwards,good job with the youngers!
I am 70 and pray to see justice in the swamp before it is nite-nite for me..
If you don’t have 2.6 co-morbidities you will see it.
Bleeding out means it is still alive,shoot it again.
The flow of this information needs to keep going so we have a corpse.
Oh,and though a broken record food/fuel/clothes/tools still available and reasonably priced,stock up on what you can use before the election,have a good weekend all!
I’m on a barbed wire kick. Everybody get a reel of 1,000 feet of barbed wire, or two or three. Tanglefoot everywhere. Deny access. Block streets. Et cetera. Limitless opportunities for mischief.
Evidence abounds… you just have to look.
What REALLY pisses me off is the Main Stream Media and Social Platforms don’t trust the American people to make their own decision! Their job is supposed to be “Investigate & Report”… instead they obfuscate & ignore.
Truth and honesty are taking huge hits. I don’t see how this ends well for our country.
Nice article JK. I hope your “Turning Hairball” theory becomes real!
Speaking of socialist media, I have banned them all from any of my reading.
Muck Z’fuckerberg
Jackass Dorky, etc.
All I have to see is ” ‘in your’ Face or Twit” and that says it all.
Ban half of the news and you have tainted the whole truth.
Just how many drops of arsenic can you stand in your clean fresh water?
Follow the money
I know “their” plate is full, but a lot of this occurred under Bush//Cheney as well. They’re never mentioned.
“They’re never mentioned”,give it time,this unwravelling just in the infancy stages.
If you saw the envelope give away at Papa Shrub’s funeral mass,
they were put on notice that some targeted players are holding cards they haven’t shown yet.
Jeb was beside himself, and Laura looked disgusted. Junior knew the gravity, but kept his composure.
Hildebeast, she blew it off completely, still thinking she’s bulletproof.
Peanuts looked at Hill’s program, and wondered why he didn’t get an invitation to the wake luncheon.
Well, Jimmy, you were excluded because you had & have a bit more integrity than the others.
I dont know what, but something happened at Popies funeral.
And since, as fucked up as that family is, you have to hand it to them, they have gone to the tall grass.
Gone.
And Biden’s response to your claims, “Not true”. #BelieveAllBidens.
JHK absolutely on fire lately, his “lefty” ways for behind.
Not until he announces he’s not a registered Democrat anymore.
Yup. Nice work, Mr. Kunstler
If we know anything from the Godfather movies, it’s that you keep your mouth shut, and you don’t put a weakling in important jobs. Imagine how different things would be if Biden hadn’t bragged about withholding a billion in aid until the prosecutor investigating Burisima was fired, and Hunter Biden had picked up the laptops he left with the repairman. Virtually none of this would have come out. The biggest mistake Biden made was picking Hunter as the bagman in the first place. When you have a Fredo in the family, you make him the director of entertainment at a casino, or you use your influence to get him a job as a news anchor. If your getaway driver is an addict, don’t be surprised if you come out of the bank and the car isn’t waiting for you because the wheelman is passed out in the front seat.
Continuing on our theme, I wonder how Hunter is sleeping these days. It occurs to me there is a lot of people, here and abroad, who would benefit from his death. Those guys in China and Ukraine undoubtedly have bosses, and they are probably not pleased with the prospect of their dealings being made public. And there are a few people here who might be very worried about what Hunter would say if put under the light. Who would want their lives hanging on such a slender reed? It would not surprise me if Hunter is found dead of an overdose.
The great thing is that this information did not come out of the government, but from a privately owned laptop. The government can’t hide it by claiming it is classified, and they can’t misrepresent the contents too much, because other people have copies of the material. These emails will come out, and if there are pictures of under aged girls, they will be contacted. Hunter may find himself the subject of lawsuits which will end up depleting him of resources.
As Spock would say, “Fascinating.”
Its a good point, look at the power and resources deployed to shut it down, many motherfuckers are gettin ancy.
Where is Hunter?
mainstream media reporters starting to jump into lifeboats to save their reputations by actually reporting honestly on developments in this web of stories.
Jeez, I’ll wait to see that happen-not yet.
My favorite was when Joe couldn’t come up with “Proud Boys” and said “the, uh, uh,uh Poor Boys.”
