Key Insights

Why is it important to continue investigating the Biden family's corruption despite Joe Biden's sidelined role?

The same unaccountable cabal of intelligence community members who protected the Biden family are now propping up Kamala Harris. The overlap between the signatories of the Dirty 51 letter and those supporting Harris indicates a continued threat to American democracy.

What role did the CIA and other intelligence agencies play in suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop story?

The CIA, under Director Gina Haspel, greenlit a letter from 51 former intelligence officials falsely claiming the laptop was Russian disinformation. This was a domestic election interference operation, coordinated with the FBI, to suppress the New York Post's reporting on the laptop.

How did the Biden family benefit financially from Hunter Biden's foreign business dealings?

Hunter Biden's business partners paid family bills, including tuition for his brother Beau and his own, and funded the upkeep of Joe Biden's estate. Hunter also paid for Joe's cell phone bills. Joe himself received two checks totaling $200,000 from his brother Jim, which were disguised as loan repayments.

What is the significance of the $30 million in suspicious activity reports related to the Biden family?

The $30 million represents payments from foreign entities, primarily China, to Hunter Biden and his business partners during Joe Biden's vice presidency. These payments were made through complex financial arrangements, some of which were squandered by Hunter, while others were used to pay family bills and maintain Joe Biden's lifestyle.

Why did the intelligence community focus on Russia as a threat while neglecting China?

The intelligence community's focus on Russia while neglecting China may be due to financial interests, particularly those of Wall Street and the military-industrial complex. The Biden family's involvement with China through the Belt and Road Initiative also suggests a reason to downplay China's threat.

How did the legacy media and social platforms censor the New York Post's Hunter Biden laptop story?

Twitter and Facebook censored the New York Post's reporting on the laptop, locking the Post's account and throttling its reach. The FBI had pre-warned these platforms about a likely Russian hack-and-leak operation involving Hunter Biden, which influenced their decision to censor the story.

What is the significance of the Dirty 51 letter signed by former intelligence officials?

The Dirty 51 letter, signed by 51 former intelligence officials, falsely claimed that the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian disinformation. This letter was instigated by Antony Blinken and coordinated with the CIA to suppress the story, potentially influencing the 2020 election outcome.

Why was Joe Biden removed as the Democratic presidential candidate in 2020?

Joe Biden was removed as the Democratic presidential candidate due to his cognitive decline and the realization by major donors, including Lorene Jobs, that he was unelectable. Focus group polling showed he could not win, leading to his replacement by Kamala Harris.

What is the current legal status of Hunter Biden?

Hunter Biden was convicted in June of gun felonies and pleaded guilty in September to felony tax fraud. Sentencing for both cases is scheduled after the election, likely to allow Joe Biden to pardon him if re-elected.

What motivates Kamala Harris's pursuit of power?

Kamala Harris's motivations are unclear, but she may seek to prove her worthiness and accumulate status through her career. She appears more interested in celebrity than genuine power, often speaking in a condescending manner that alienates potential supporters.
