Criminal News Media…. Criminal Entertainment Field…Obliterated White Men

It was previously known when Joe Biden was nominated that his son, Hunter, who had no expertise in Ukraine or energy, was getting a fabulous monthly stipend ($83,000) for his membership on the board of directors of a Ukrainian energy company called Burisma. It’s not irrelevant that Ukraine was one of the countries Joe Biden had a special responsibility to oversee in the Obama administration. Could it be that Joe Biden was selling his influence through his son? Trump, we shouldn’t forget, was impeached essentially for raising this question, and later developments show he wasn’t making it up.

When asked about his son’s board membership during the 2020 campaign, Joe Biden said he had “no knowledge” about his son’s business activities — even though Hunter Biden accompanied him on his trips to Ukraine. Unfortunately for Joe Biden, a laptop owned by his son fell into the hands of the New York Post, which published a story on Oct. 14, 2020, that the laptop contained a note from a senior executive of Burisma, thanking Hunter Biden for arranging a dinner with the then-vice president. This was an important revelation. Had Joe Biden been truthful about what he knew of his son’s business activities, and in what respect had he helped these activities along?

The story got much worse for Joe Biden when a former navy officer named Tony Bobulinski appeared on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show that same week. He said he had been the chief executive officer of a since-abandoned joint venture organized by Hunter Biden that was to be funded by a Chinese group. Again, it happened that China was also a country for which Joe Biden had been given special responsibility within the Obama administration. And again, he had brought his son along on numerous trips.

In this case, however, Bobulinski had documents for a transaction involving Hunter Biden, and he said he had met with him on one of those China trips. Moreover, the documents showed how the money would be split among the participants. One document showed that Hunter Biden would be receiving, in addition to his own share, a 10% share for “the Big Guy.” Bobulinski confirmed that the “Big Guy” was Joe Biden.

These details are covered fully in a new book, Laptop From Hell, by Miranda Devine, the New York Post reporter who originally came into possession of the Hunter Biden laptop. In the book, she quotes in detail from Hunter Biden’s correspondence with others in both the Ukrainian and Chinese deals and shows conclusively that Joe Biden was aware of and would have profited directly from the China deal after he left the vice presidency.

If this information had become widely known just a few weeks before the 2020 election, it would have been disastrous for the Biden campaign. But Joe Biden was protected by the media. Almost all the major U.S. television and print media refused to carry the Post’s story. Facebook and Twitter not only refused to report it, but they froze the Post’s social media account and would not allow their subscribers to post or comment about the story. NPR’s managing editor, Terence Samuel, said, “We really don’t want to waste the listeners’ and readers’ time on stories that are just pure distractions.”

Because of the media’s blackout, neither Joe Biden nor his campaign had to respond to questions about the Chinese transaction or Joe Biden’s alleged $10 million share as “the Big Guy.” As Devine notes in the book, “Almost 50% of Biden voters polled after the election knew nothing about Hunter’s laptop, according to polling by the Media Research Center, and almost 10% said they would not have voted for Joe had they known.”

This was a shocking attack on democracy and the election process by the U.S. media, which may have changed the outcome of the 2020 election. If nothing else, it validated Trump’s claim that the U.S. media are “enemies of the people.”
