Based on that list, WHY do we trust main stream and social media? The list contains just a few of the stories that were presented as true by various media sites and then turned out to be fiction at best and fraudulent at worse. Every single day it seems, the list grows and yet people continue to trust main stream media and various social media sites for the “news.” Let’s take a look at #14, the Hunter Biden Laptop was Russian Disinformation hoax.
The New York Post broke the story in October of 2020 just a month or so before the Presidential Election took place. Hunter’s laptop had information on it that, if true, would not be good for Hunter but more importantly, it would not be good for presidential candidate Joe Biden, Hunter’s father.
The response to the NY Post article was fast, furious and startling. Twitter, for example, shut down the Post’s account immediately. Their reasoning… they had an obligation to stop the spread of “fake news.” Apparently they didn’t have that same obligation if it was the main stream media or other social media outlets spreading fake bull___. At that time Twitter was becoming more and more part of the emerging “Disinformation Police.” (FYI a newspaper like the NY Post has to be careful what it publishes because it can be sued for libel unlike the social media outlets who hide behind a law claiming they are not responsible for the content on their sites.) Go back to #3 on the list and… ask the NY Times and the Washington Post etc. how their fake news reporting on the Covington Kids KKK hoax turned out. Let’s just say… NOT WELL?
In response to the NY Post story 51 “intelligence experts” signed a letter suggesting in all likelihood the laptop and its’ contents were Russian disinformation designed to help Trump win the election. Anthony Blinken, who became Joe Biden’s Secretary of State, has denied it but Michael Morell, former deputy director of the CIA, has testified that Blinken was instrumental in the creation of the letter. It would certainly make sense that the Biden campaign wanted/needed to do something to discredit the NY Post story. The impact on the upcoming election, if the laptop story was true, would be devastating for Biden and the Democrats.
In the letter, the “experts” touted their expertise and experience and felt compelled to issue their “opinion” because they did not want the Russians to influence the upcoming election. How ironic is that… when the main stream media and others lost control of the story and the lies could no longer be covered up… when it became clear to the public that the laptop was not Russian disinformation but, in fact, contained emails, pictures etc. that were damning to the Bidens, polls showed that as many as 15% of voters said that if they knew the laptop and contents were real, they would have changed their vote. That would have changed the election.
So who actually influenced the 2020 election to a greater degree, the Russians or 51 “intelligence experts” and the completely biased main stream and social media outlets who covered up the Hunter Biden laptop scandal?
In the letter these 51 experts admitted that they had no proof for their opinion/conclusions. Apparently that isn’t important because… look at the headline published in Politico. That didn’t stop Politico from using a headline that removed any ambiguity. It was “Russian disinformation.” Not might be, could be, possibly… NO it is Russian disinformation. Maybe to cover their tracks Politico did include in smaller type acknowledge these experts weren’t certain but they had doubts that the NY Post story was accurate.
To quote Agent 86, Maxwell Smart (remember Get Smart) these experts “missed it by THAT much!” Or did they?
Just my opinion but I don’t think these 51 intelligence experts “got fooled” or “simply got it wrong.” No, I think this is what happens when the intelligence community suffers from that disease that has become an epidemic, Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). A N.Y. Times reporter once stated that in order to stop Trump, reporters needed to set aside journalism. Quit being a journalist and switch to political activism. That way you could write whatever you wanted, truth be damned, in order to stop Trump. That was and still is a symptom of TDS and I think our 51 intelligence officers would test positive for the same disease. They had to discredit the Hunter laptop story because it could have been fatal to the Biden campaign. They had to stop Trump.
Although they did not come out and say unequivocally that the laptop WAS Russian disinformation, the letter they released was definitely worded to influence and convince the public that it was indeed just that, it was the Russians meddling in the presidential election. However, their “expert” opinion wasn’t enough, they needed help. They had to get that message to the voters. Coming to the rescue was MSNBC, CNN, CBS and many other media outlets who picked up the story and ran with it. Looking back I guess Facebook, Google and Twitter should have not only shut down those main stream media outlets for broadcasting fake news but they should have shut themselves down as well. Of course that was never going to happen because our social media outlets were to busy censoring people who actually were telling the truth about the laptop.
I could provide lots of quotes from many people at these networks and others but let me share three with you.
1st) Let’s start with probably the #2 newspaper in the country when it comes to trustworthiness (that would be sarcasm if it isn’t obvious) the Washington Post. One day after the NY Post broke the story, Washington Post reporter Greg Sargent declared that the laptop story was “Trump’s fake new Biden scandal” and the allegations were “laughably weak.” You have to admire a journalist who can quickly do such great and in depth research within 24 hours of the NY Post publishing the Biden Laptop story that he “knows” it is all “bull____.” I hope he passed all his “information” proving the Biden laptop story was fake to Hunter’s legal team so they could sue the NY Post for libel. Actually I suppose they should sue the FBI as well for recently testifying in the Biden Laptop trial that the laptop was indeed Hunter’s and had not been “tampered” with by the Russians or anyone else. Then again, who cares, Biden won the election.
2) Turning to the grand old lady of newspapers, the N.Y. Times, clearly #1 when it comes to trustworthiness (sarcasm… ok, you get it). One day after the NY Post ran the story, the Times felt compelled to publish a “warning to Trump” that the Russians were using Rudy Giuliani, who had been given the laptop, to spread false claims against the Bidens. Thank goodness the Times cared so much about Trump that they felt compelled to warn him about those dastardly Russians who were using Giuliani to spread lies about the Hunter laptop. Oops, not the first time and far from the last time that the N.Y. Times ends up on the wrong side of a story. In fact, more times than not, you might be wise to assume the opposite of what the N.Y. Times reports. A suggestion… Rather than jump on board with any N.Y. Times story it might be wise to simply wait for the retraction.. (… too much sarcasm?).
3) After the story broke, Trump was interviewed on 60 Minutes by Leslie Stahl. Trump labelled the laptop story one of the biggest scandals he had ever seen.
Stahl’s response was to suggest that there was no way to verify if the laptop and its contents were true, i.e. they were really Hunter’s. Stahl repeated her assertion that the laptop had been investigated and contents could not be verified as Hunter’s. OOPS – Leslie “missed it by THAT much!” as well because…
Unfortunately for Leslie she was 100% wrong and yet she was 100% right. She was 100% right that the laptop had been investigated… but she was 100% WRONG that it had been discredited! In fact, the FBI had the laptop long before Leslie did her Trump interview and according to reports the FBI had verified that the laptop and contents belonged to Hunter Biden and had not been manipulated…. are you ready for this… in 2019!!! In fact the veracity of the laptop was again confirmed by an FBI expert in the recent Hunter Biden gun trial. Not suggesting a conspiracy (okay maybe I am) but isn’t it strange that the FBI basically hid their findings until the 2020 election was long gone and only when forced, did they confirm the veracity of the laptop and its’ contents.
1984 = 2024
In George Orwell’s 1984, Big Brother used the “Thought Police” to subjugate the “proles,” i.e. the normal, everyday working people, aka “Hillary’s deplorables.” Let alone actually voice a differing opinion, the proles were not allowed to think thoughts and ideas that were contrary to the views of those in power. Their punishment for possessing such rebellious thoughts… imprisonment or even execution and probably well deserved. After all, how stupid, moronic, deplorable and/or dangerous must you be if you disagree in word, deed and even thought with Big Brother as presented by the main stream media etc.?
Over the past few years the “Thought Police” of 2024 have emerged. Who are they? The social media division includes Twitter/X (hopefully under Musk that will change), Facebook/Meta, You Tube and Google (the last 3 are probably not going to change… ever) and many more. The print division (most of which are transitioning to the digital world) has a huge number of newspapers, magazines etc. lead by the NY Times and the Washington Post. In the television division CNN and MSNBC, CBS etc. lead the way. Of course they all have a gigantic presence on the internet and some of those mentioned control to a great degree what the public is allowed to see when searching the internet (Is it just me or does that sound like something I would expect to find in China, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela etc.?)
So what happened… did 51 intelligence experts get it “wrong,” did they make a mistake…. or did they get it “right” and get exactly what they wanted in the 2020 election? The FBI knew and said nothing. Apparently the American people, Hillary’s pathetic deplorables, didn’t deserve to know the truth about the laptop. Or maybe the FBI thought “they couldn’t handle the truth” to quote Col. Nathan R. Jessup in A Few Good Men. Or maybe the FBI knew that the American people could handle the truth but the higher ups at the FBI didn’t like what would happen as a result…
Let’s be honest… in 2016 the “deep state” tried to stop Trump and failed… in 2020 no one was more dangerous to the deep state than Donald Trump and it was imperative that they stop him… and they did…
Hmmm, 4 years has passed since the last election… and NOTHING has changed! Soon it will be November 2024. Will they fail or will they succeed?
