Twitter vs. the Bidens

Hunter and Joe Biden -- logically.ai 

Hunter Biden, President Joe Biden’s wayward son, fell over a political cliff when he -- inadvertently? -- left his laptop at a computer store, presumably for repairs. The compromising nature of the computer data, partly salacious but also containing sensitive communications implicating former Vice President Biden in a possible pay to play scheme involving foreign entities not friendly to the United States, induced the legally blind shop owner to contact the FBI concerning the compromising computer.

Hunter Biden, trading on his father’s name, was enriched, the laptop rested safely in FBI hands – end of story?

Alas, the whole business, all of which happened prior to a hotly contested presidential election,  proved to be a “tangled web” of the sort Walter Scott imagined when he penned the lines “Oh what a tangled web we weave/When first we practice to deceive.” 

After having had no response from the FBI, the shop owner wisely shared copies of the data with lawyers associated with President Donald Trump.

The computer files made their way to the New York Post, which published some of the politically hot data, as newspapers have been accustomed to do for centuries.

A case in point:   James Thomson Callender, an alcoholic journalist/pamphleteer published the news that the upstanding Thomas Jefferson had sired the children of one of his house slaves, Sally Hemings. Some scholars suppose that the children were fathered by one of Jefferson’s relatives.

Once friendly to Jefferson, Callender switched allegiance when he did not receive a political appointment he thought was his due. The widely circulated news did not end Jefferson’s distinguished political career, but it did make the papers and was used in political campaigns of the day. The splenetic Callender took to drink, and one night, after tippling at a bar, his body was found floating in Virginia’s James River.

There is little question that the sharp edge of the initial hot-topic Hunter Biden laptop story was ground down by hazy charges that the data taken from Hunter’s laptop was a Russian disinformation plant. Some would call such false charges a form of election fraud.

“The laptop,” the New York Post noted, “links President Biden to the foreign influence-peddling of his son Hunter and brother Jim Biden, but high-ranking former spy agency officials claimed before the 2020 election it was likely Russian disinformation, and the story was obligingly censored by Twitter and Facebook.

“It only took them 769 days” to notice what might have been discovered by recent journalism graduates working the political beat at the Associated Press -- i.e. that the data found on Hunter’s computer, most especially the emails first publicized by the Post showing Hunter Biden colluding with communist China and Russia, was the real deal.

Twitter, bought by billionaire Elon Musk, has since repented and, under Musk’s direction, printed many cross communications between Twitter officials and Bidenites that show undo pressure had been put on social media sites by powerful U.S. agencies. The evident purpose of the subtly intimidating hints by the FBI and others that the computer data was a Russian Communist Party disinformation campaign gave social media sites pause and the censorship knives came out of journalistic scabbards.

Truth be told – the matter was NOT the result of Russian disinformation. Serious money was passing between China, Russia, other corrupt international outposts and the President’s son. Hunter Biden has since taken up painting as an innocent pastime. Much later, the elections tucked away, prominent news outlets such as the New York Times blushingly admitted that the matter on the laptop was NOT Russian disinformation.

In addition, discoveries of top- secret documents hidden, some for more than six years, in “lunchpail” Joe’s various million dollar properties have dented the presidential breastplate, and – better late than never – the pro-Biden news media is now attempting to recover is standing among the general public as a fearless pursuer of the truth. Biden’s long honeymoon with our “nonpartisan” media appears to be coming to a close.

So far in Connecticut, prominent Democrats have not been closely questioned concerning the Hunter Biden laptop, or the top secret documents squirrelled away by Biden who, as former U.S. Senator and Vice President, was obliged, legally and morally, to observe the same protocol respecting top secret documentation as any member of the all Democrat Connecticut U.S. Congressional Delegation.

Now that the helm in the U.S. House of Representatives has fallen to Republicans, a hasty retreat to the usual White House bunkers may no longer be sufficient to distract the public gaze from possible criminal collusion between the Bidens, China and Russia, long considered enemies of democracy.

The Blumenthal Burisma Connection

Steve Hilton , a Fox News commentator who over the weekend had connected some Burisma corruption dots, had this to say about Connecticut U.S. Senator Dick Blumenthal’s association with the tangled knot of corruption in Ukraine: “We cross-referenced the Senate co-sponsors of Ed Markey's Ukraine gas bill with the list of Democrats whom Burisma lobbyist, David Leiter, routinely gave money to and found another one -- one of the most sanctimonious of them all, actually -- Sen.

Powell, the JI, And Economic literacy

Powell, Pesci Substack The Journal Inquirer (JI), one of the last independent newspapers in Connecticut, is now a part of the Hearst Media chain. Hearst has been growing by leaps and bounds in the state during the last decade. At the same time, many newspapers in Connecticut have shrunk in size, the result, some people seem to think, of ad revenue smaller newspapers have lost to internet sites and a declining newspaper reading public. Surviving papers are now seeking to recover the lost revenue by erecting “pay walls.” Like most besieged businesses, newspapers also are attempting to recoup lost revenue through staff reductions, reductions in the size of the product – both candy bars and newspapers are much smaller than they had been in the past – and sell-offs to larger chains that operate according to the social Darwinian principles of monopolistic “red in tooth and claw” giant corporations. The first principle of the successful mega-firm is: Buy out your predator before he swallows

Down The Rabbit Hole, A Book Review

Down the Rabbit Hole How the Culture of Corrections Encourages Crime by Brent McCall & Michael Liebowitz Available at Amazon Price: $12.95/softcover, 337 pages   “ Down the Rabbit Hole: How the Culture of Corrections Encourages Crime ,” a penological eye-opener, is written by two Connecticut prisoners, Brent McCall and Michael Liebowitz. Their book is an analytical work, not merely a page-turner prison drama, and it provides serious answers to the question: Why is reoffending a more likely outcome than rehabilitation in the wake of a prison sentence? The multiple answers to this central question are not at all obvious. Before picking up the book, the reader would be well advised to shed his preconceptions and also slough off the highly misleading claims of prison officials concerning the efficacy of programs developed by dusty old experts who have never had an honest discussion with a real convict. Some of the experts are more convincing cons than the cons, p
