The Dangers of Politicized History

We are now seeing the consequences of 50 years of the Left 's academic malfeasance .
Bruce Thornton is a Shillman Journalism Fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center .
The New York Times ’ “ 1619 Project , ” a “ woke ” racialist rewrite of American history , is just the latest in the decades-long track record of leftist distortions of history .
Like everything else corrupting our culture , its roots lie in Cultural Marxism and its assault on social institutions , especially education , as the means for achieving the Marxist paradise that the proletariat had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ capitalist taskmasters and collectivizing the means of production .
The universities , of course , have been the seed-bed of such propaganda .
A seemingly silly spasm of outrage over Israeli movie actress Gal Gadot ( pictured above ) being cast as Cleopatra illustrates how fake history and “ cancel culture ” ––their roots in an academic fashion from decades earlier that at the time was dismissed as the typical hijinks of egghead professors––have infected people ’ s minds with patent nonsense .
The “ woke ” mob are put out with Gadot @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because Gadot is a “ bland ” and “ too pretty ” white woman , whereas Cleopatra was Egyptian and hence presumably swarthy and more “ exotic ” looking .
More noxious to critics is that Gadot is an Israeli .
Journalist Sameera Khan on Twitter huffed , “ shame on you , Gal Gadot .
Your country steals Arab land & you ’ re stealing their movie roles.
” The sheer ignorance of this observation is staggering .
Christian Egypt didn ’ t become an Arab nation until 645 A.D. with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Egyptians , then , with the exception of the minority Christian Copts , are the descendants of conquerors , occupiers , and colonizers .
So who has a much longer record of “ stealing ” land ?
But assuming Cleopatra was ethnic Egyptian is another historical solecism .
She was a Macedonian Greek , descended from Ptolemy , Alexander the Great ’ s general who in 305 B.C .
seized the rich territory of Egypt during the “ game of thrones ” over Alexander ’ s conquests after his death .
The Ptolemies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ adopted much of the ceremony and iconography of the pharaohs in order to make their rule over a culturally , ethnically , religiously , and linguistically different peoples more manageable .
But ethnically they were Macedonians , who tended to be fairer even than the southern Greeks , let alone Semites .
As for Cleopatra ’ s ethnicity , Professor Emeritus of Classics and Archaeology , Duane W. Roller , author of Cleopatra : A Biography , writes on the Oxford University Press blog : “ To sum up : it is quite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But it is probable that she had some Egyptian blood , although the amount is uncertain .
Certainly it was no more than half , and probably less .
The best evidence is that she was three-quarters Macedonian Greek and one-quarter Egyptian .
There is no room for anything else , certainly not for any black African blood.
” In other words , Gal Gadot is more likely to resemble the historical Cleopatra than a modern Arab actress .
Roller ’ s reference to Cleopatra being black brings us to the academic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an early example of politicized history that was defended by trying to “ cancel ” a critic of its manifest errors .
In 1987 Martin Bernal published Black Athena , the first of three volumes arguing that ancient Greek culture had “ Afroasiatic roots , ” as the subtitle had it .
The most famous claim derived from Bernal ’ s book was that ancient Greek civilization was the product of African Egyptians .
Thirty years later , an American classicist claimed that one of the book ’ s purposes was to “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Greece and Rome by white nationalists.
” Presumably , the “ grandeur that was Greece , and the glory that was Rome ” had been hijacked by racist “ white supremacists , ” who ignored the Classical world ’ s “ Afroasiatic ” roots in order to racialize its achievements .
The history of Classics comprised a “ stolen legacy.
” Bernal ’ s book became widely known when it was used by Afrocentrism , a movement to correct allegedly racist , Eurocentric history by restoring the role played by peoples of African @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is closer to identity politics propaganda than to historical fact––an early example of the same activist history one sees in the “ 1619 Project.
” Also similar is the production of Afrocentric curricula for schools .
One can judge the intellectual seriousness of Afrocentrism from a remark by Al Sharpton in a 1994 talk delivered at , horribile dictu , a college : “ We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.
” Nor can such a comment be dismissed as the vicious @ @ @ @ @ @ @ then as now , corporate America , eager as always to cultivate brand loyalty , quickly got on board the Afrocentrism train .
Not long after the Afrocentrism controversy , I recall walking through a university history building and noting its hallway walls covered with posters celebrating Black History Month .
One depicted Cleopatra sporting a big Afro redolent of Seventies blaxploitation movies .
Another showed the Carthaginian Hannibal , a descendant of the Semitic Phoenicians who colonized today ’ s Tunisia , looking like soul singer Isaac Hayes .
The posters had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Budweiser .
No one seemed concern that fake history was being promoted by the history department of a California State University , with the help of a corporation that wanted to sell more beer to college students .
At the time of Sharpton ’ s comment the historiographical flaws of Bernal ’ s thesis had been meticulously laid bare a year earlier by esteemed Wellesley classicist Mary Lefkowitz in her article “ Not Out of Africa , ” and later in books like Black Athena Revisited ( 1996 ) and Not Out of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ research undercut one of the major arguments of Afrocentrism , that ancient Greek culture was a “ stolen legacy ” filched from African peoples , a thesis based on egregious mangling of historical facts .
For example , at a 1993 lecture at Wellesley by Yosef A.A. Ben-Jochannan , author of the Afrocentric classic Africa : Mother of Western Civilization , Ben-Jochannan claimed that Aristotle had plagiarized his philosophy from the Library of Alexandria in Ptolemaic Egypt .
During the Q & A , Lefkowitz asked Ben-Jochannan how would that have been possible @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been built after his death.

Black studies professors and Afrocentric ideologues leveled against her vicious attacks , ranging from being dismissed as an “ obscure drudge in the academic backwaters of a Classics department , ” by the truly obscure black studies professor Wilson Jeremiah @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Lefkowitz as a “ homosexual ” and a “ hook-nosed , lox-eating .

Worse yet , federally @ @ @ @ @ @ @ laws have provided campus ideologues with powerful weapons to intimidate and silence any voice not singing in harmony with the “ woke ” identity-politics chorus .

The New York Times’ “1619 Project,” a “woke” racialist rewrite of American history, is just the latest in the decades-long track record of leftist distortions of history. Like everything else corrupting our culture, its roots lie in Cultural Marxism and its assault on social institutions, especially education, as the means for achieving the Marxist paradise that the proletariat had betrayed by not rising up against their capitalist taskmasters and collectivizing the means of production.
The universities, of course, have been the seed-bed of such propaganda. A seemingly silly spasm of outrage over Israeli movie actress Gal Gadot (pictured above) being cast as Cleopatra illustrates how fake history and “cancel culture”––their roots in an academic fashion from decades earlier that at the time was dismissed as the typical hijinks of egghead professors––have infected people’s minds with patent nonsense.
The “woke” mob are put out with Gadot and her director, Patty Jenkins, because Gadot is a “bland” and “too pretty” white woman, whereas Cleopatra was Egyptian and hence presumably swarthy and more “exotic” looking. More noxious to critics is that Gadot is an Israeli. Journalist Sameera Khan on Twitter huffed, “shame on you, Gal Gadot. Your country steals Arab land & you’re stealing their movie roles.” The sheer ignorance of this observation is staggering. Christian Egypt didn’t become an Arab nation until 645 A.D. with the Muslim conquest. Today’s Arab Egyptians, then, with the exception of the minority Christian Copts, are the descendants of conquerors, occupiers, and colonizers. So who has a much longer record of “stealing” land?
But assuming Cleopatra was ethnic Egyptian is another historical solecism. She was a Macedonian Greek, descended from Ptolemy, Alexander the Great’s general who in 305 B.C. seized the rich territory of Egypt during the “game of thrones” over Alexander’s conquests after his death. The Ptolemies, as the dynasty is called, adopted much of the ceremony and iconography of the pharaohs in order to make their rule over a culturally, ethnically, religiously, and linguistically different peoples more manageable. But ethnically they were Macedonians, who tended to be fairer even than the southern Greeks, let alone Semites.
As for Cleopatra’s ethnicity, Professor Emeritus of Classics and Archaeology, Duane W. Roller, author of Cleopatra: A Biography, writes on the Oxford University Press blog: “To sum up: it is quite possible that Cleopatra was pure Macedonian Greek. But it is probable that she had some Egyptian blood, although the amount is uncertain. Certainly it was no more than half, and probably less. The best evidence is that she was three-quarters Macedonian Greek and one-quarter Egyptian. There is no room for anything else, certainly not for any black African blood.” In other words, Gal Gadot is more likely to resemble the historical Cleopatra than a modern Arab actress.
Roller’s reference to Cleopatra being black brings us to the academic controversy from several decades ago that illustrates an early example of politicized history that was defended by trying to “cancel” a critic of its manifest errors. In 1987 Martin Bernal published Black Athena, the first of three volumes arguing that ancient Greek culture had “Afroasiatic roots,” as the subtitle had it. The most famous claim derived from Bernal’s book was that ancient Greek civilization was the product of African Egyptians. Thirty years later, an American classicist claimed that one of the book’s purposes was to “effectively combat today’s use of Greece and Rome by white nationalists.” Presumably, the “grandeur that was Greece, and the glory that was Rome” had been hijacked by racist “white supremacists,” who ignored the Classical world’s “Afroasiatic” roots in order to racialize its achievements. The history of Classics comprised a “stolen legacy.”
Bernal’s book became widely known when it was used by Afrocentrism, a movement to correct allegedly racist, Eurocentric history by restoring the role played by peoples of African descent. Much of the work produced is closer to identity politics propaganda than to historical fact––an early example of the same activist history one sees in the “1619 Project.” Also similar is the production of Afrocentric curricula for schools. One can judge the intellectual seriousness of Afrocentrism from a remark by Al Sharpton in a 1994 talk delivered at, horribile dictu, a college: “We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.”
Nor can such a comment be dismissed as the vicious rhetoric of a professional race-baiter. But then as now, corporate America, eager as always to cultivate brand loyalty, quickly got on board the Afrocentrism train. Not long after the Afrocentrism controversy, I recall walking through a university history building and noting its hallway walls covered with posters celebrating Black History Month. One depicted Cleopatra sporting a big Afro redolent of Seventies blaxploitation movies. Another showed the Carthaginian Hannibal, a descendant of the Semitic Phoenicians who colonized today’s Tunisia, looking like soul singer Isaac Hayes. The posters had been donated by Anheuser-Busch, brewers of Budweiser. No one seemed concern that fake history was being promoted by the history department of a California State University, with the help of a corporation that wanted to sell more beer to college students.
At the time of Sharpton’s comment the historiographical flaws of Bernal’s thesis had been meticulously laid bare a year earlier by esteemed Wellesley classicist Mary Lefkowitz in her article “Not Out of Africa,” and later in books like Black Athena Revisited (1996) and Not Out of Africa (1997). Her thorough research undercut one of the major arguments of Afrocentrism, that ancient Greek culture was a “stolen legacy” filched from African peoples, a thesis based on egregious mangling of historical facts. For example, at a 1993 lecture at Wellesley by Yosef A.A. Ben-Jochannan, author of the Afrocentric classic Africa: Mother of Western Civilization, Ben-Jochannan claimed that Aristotle had plagiarized his philosophy from the Library of Alexandria in Ptolemaic Egypt. During the Q&A, Lefkowitz asked Ben-Jochannan how would that have been possible, “when that Library had only been built after his death.”
The subsequent assault on Lefkowitz, documented in her 2008 book History Lessons, was an early example, of today’s “cancel culture,” and taking on the powerful black-identity politics academic lobby with such biting criticism was personally costly for Lefkowitz. Black studies professors and Afrocentric ideologues leveled against her vicious attacks, ranging from being dismissed as an “obscure drudge in the academic backwaters of a Classics department,” by the truly obscure black studies professor Wilson Jeremiah Moses; to the antisemitic smear of Lefkowitz as a “homosexual” and a “hook-nosed, lox-eating . . . so-called Jew,” by Khalid Abdul Muhammad of the Nation of Islam, whose active support of Afrocentrism was welcomed by many black studies professors.
Lefkowitz’s experience in defending history from political propaganda should have alerted both the academy and larger society to what was happening to higher education. But as we see today with the “1619 Project” and the nonsense of “white privilege,” Critical Race Theory, and “systemic racism,” politicized history has entrenched itself in the universities, and escaped from the rotting groves of academe to pollute K-12 curricula with Black Lives Matter and “1619” propaganda. Moreover, such fake history is poisoning our politics with an illiberal “cancel culture” that violates the First Amendment and the long tradition of academic freedom enshrined in the “1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure,” promulgated by what’s now known as the American Association of Colleges and Universities. Worse yet, federally mandated policies based on ill-written civil rights laws have provided campus ideologues with powerful weapons to intimidate and silence any voice not singing in harmony with the “woke” identity-politics chorus.
What appears to be just another attempt by “woke” activists to bully an industry and indulge its anti-Semitic bigotry against an Israeli actress should not be lightly brushed off as the politically correct hysteria du jour. Nor should we forget the academic scandal from nearly thirty years ago that helped to institutionalize this particular variety of fake history and illiberal assaults on free speech. Today we all can see the consequences of such negligence, as intellectual and professional malfeasance once confined to the university classroom is now fueling violence in our streets and furthering the corruption of our K-12 and university curricula.
The Jesuits used to say, give me the child, and I’ll show you the man. The left has had several generations of our children now for over fifty years, and their men and women are rampaging through our biggest cities, controlling our corporate boards, censoring social media, polluting our culture, demagoguing in our legislatures and courts, and actively working to dismantle the Constitutional order that protects our unalienable rights and political freedom.

A small Christian school in Oregon has filed a discrimination lawsuit against Gov .

In the lawsuit filed last Friday by the Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of Hermiston Christian School , it is alleged that Brown repeatedly assured the leaders of the school located in Umatilla County that they would be able to provide in-person instruction to the 51 students enrolled in its K-12 program as long as they met certain health @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 29 , however , and ordered private schools in the county and other parts of the state to close while exempting public schools with 75 or fewer students .

Oregon sued for shuttering religious schools while allowing public schools to reopen in-person
A small Christian school in Oregon has filed a discrimination lawsuit against Gov. Kate Brown and several other high-ranking officials for restricting in-person instruction in private, religious schools during the coronavirus pandemic while allowing public schools to reopen.
In the lawsuit filed last Friday by the Alliance Defending Freedom on behalf of Hermiston Christian School, it is alleged that Brown repeatedly assured the leaders of the school located in Umatilla County that they would be able to provide in-person instruction to the 51 students enrolled in its K-12 program as long as they met certain health guidelines.
Brown reversed course on July 29, however, and ordered private schools in the county and other parts of the state to close while exempting public schools with 75 or fewer students. School officials that violate the order can be jailed for 30 days and fined $1,250.
“While responding to crises can be difficult, this case is not. There is no legitimate reason for allowing public schools with 75 or fewer students to provide in-person instruction while denying the same opportunity to small private schools, including religious ones,” ADF Senior Counsel Ryan Tucker said in a statement.
“Hermiston Christian School operates in the same county as a public school that is open, and it operates with the same number of students, who are performing the same type of activity, working in an even larger physical environment, and complying with the same health and safety protocols. Gov. Brown’s refusal to extend the same treatment to Hermiston Christian School as she does to small public schools violates the U.S. Constitution and discriminates against parents who choose to provide a religious education for their children.”
Other defendants named in the lawsuit with Brown are: Colt Gill, director of the Oregon Department of Education; Patrick Allen, director of the Oregon Health Authority; Joseph Fiumara Jr., director of the Umatilla County Public Health Department; Travis Hampton, superintendent of the Oregon State Police; and Terry Rowan, Umatilla County Sheriff.
Assured by Gov. Brown that they would have been allowed to resume in-person classes, Hermiston Christian School maintained staff and spent money to ensure they met or exceeded the state’s health and safety protocols for in-person instruction.
Earlier this month, the school shared photos on its Facebook page highlighting some of those updates.
On Sept. 16, the Oregon Department of Education granted Hermiston initial approval as an Emergency Child Care Facility for school-aged children and, after conducting a virtual inspection of school facilities, noted that Hermiston Christian’s “facility is very clean and organized. [Staff] were very well prepared and are following the Health and Safety Guidelines.”
The Umatilla County Public Health Department later advised the school, however, that it was not permitted to provide in-person instruction even if the students are in its facilities for childcare.
The lawsuit argued that the school was being treated unfairly because a policy adviser and liaison for Brown had raised concern about the potential for a “mass exodus” of children from public schools and emphasized that public schools could suffer a reduction in funding if students disenrolled to obtain education elsewhere.
“Gov. Brown’s personal preference for public over private education does not permit her to discriminate against faith-based schools,” ADF Senior Counsel David Cortman argued in a statement on the case.
“Oregon’s Department of Education has personally evaluated Hermiston Christian School and found that it is a safe place for school-aged children to spend full days, but the very same department threatens imprisonment and fines if the school dares to educate those very same children while they’re in the building. Public health crises do not suspend the Constitution or permit elected leaders to favor secular public schools by granting them unique exceptions.”


thelibertydaily--2020-10-22--FOX: Laptop Connected to Hunter Biden Linked to FBI Money Laundering Investigation

The FBI ’ s subpoena of a laptop and hard drive purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden came in connection with a money laundering investigation in late 2019 , according to documents obtained by Fox News and verified by multiple federal law enforcement officials who reviewed them .
It is unclear , at this point , whether the investigation is ongoing or if it was directly related to Hunter Biden .
RATCLIFFE SAYS HUNTER BIDEN EMAILS , LAPTOP 'NOT PART OF SOME RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN' Multiple federal law enforcement officials , as well as two separate government officials , confirmed the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ signed by FBI Special Agent Joshua Wilson .
Wilson did not immediately respond to Fox News ’ request for comment .
One of the documents , obtained by Fox News , was designated as an FBI “ Receipt for Property ” form , which details the bureau ’ s interactions with John Paul Mac Isaac , the owner of “ The Mac Shop ” who reported the laptop ’ s contents to authorities .
The document has a “ Case ID ” section , which is filled in with a hand-written number : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the FBI ’ s website , “ 272 ” is the bureau ’ s classification for money laundering , while “ 272D ” refers to “ Money Laundering , Unknown SUA [ Specified Unlawful Activity ] —White Collar Crime Program , ” according to FBI documents .
One government official described “ 272D ” as “ transnational or blanket.
” “ BA ” indicates the case was opened in the FBI ’ s Baltimore field office , sources said .
The documents state that the subpoena was carried out in Wilmington , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of the FBI ’ s Baltimore Field Office .
“ The FBI can not open a case without predication , so they believed there was predication for criminal activity , ” a government official told Fox News .
“ This means there was sufficient evidence to believe that there was criminal conduct.
” Another document , obtained by Fox News , was a subpoena sent to Isaac to testify before U.S. District Court in Delaware on Dec. 9 , 2019 .
One page of the subpoena shows what appears to be serial numbers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into possession .
FBI IN POSSESSION OF LAPTOP ALLEGEDLY BELONGING TO HUNTER BIDEN Based on the date of the subpoena , an official told Fox News that the case would have been opened prior to Isaac 's subpoena .
“ If a criminal case was opened and subpoenas were issued , that means there is a high likelihood that both the laptop and hard drive contain fruits of criminal activity , ” the official said .
Fox News first reported on Tuesday evening that the FBI is in possession of the laptop in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ confirm or deny the existence of an investigation into the laptop or the emails , as is standard practice .
The Biden campaign on Wednesday pushed back on the claims leveled against Hunter Biden , particularly those first reported by The New York Post last week .
The New York Post revealed that Rudy Giuliani provided them with emails allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden .
`` The Attorney General of Delaware 's office indicated that the FBI has 'ongoing investigations regarding the veracity of this entire story . '
And it would be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ action involving Rudy Giuliani and those assisting him to involve questions about money laundering , especially since there are other documented inquiries into his dealings , '' Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement to Fox News .
`` In fact , Donald Trump 's own national security adviser warned the president that material furnished by Giuliani should be considered tainted by Russian interference . ''
Giuliani , this week , reportedly turned over a copy of the hard drive to New Castle County Police Department in Delaware .
Richard Sauber @ @ @ @ @ @ @ campaign , said , in a statement to Fox News : “ Criminal investigations of Russian disinformation campaigns that include the witting participation of American citizens like Rudy Giuliani often involve investigation by the FBI of whether the American has received payment for these activities that would implicate the Federal Money Laundering statutes .

The FBI , in a letter to Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Ron Johnson , R-Wis. , who is investigating Hunter Biden 's business dealings as well as the laptop in question , said that the bureau has `` nothing to add at this time to the October 19th public statement by the Director of National Intelligence about the available actionable intelligence.

The FBI’s subpoena of a laptop and hard drive purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden came in connection with a money laundering investigation in late 2019, according to documents obtained by Fox News and verified by multiple federal law enforcement officials who reviewed them.
It is unclear, at this point, whether the investigation is ongoing or if it was directly related to Hunter Biden.
RATCLIFFE SAYS HUNTER BIDEN EMAILS, LAPTOP 'NOT PART OF SOME RUSSIAN DISINFORMATION CAMPAIGN'
Multiple federal law enforcement officials, as well as two separate government officials, confirmed the authenticity of these documents, which were signed by FBI Special Agent Joshua Wilson. Wilson did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.
One of the documents, obtained by Fox News, was designated as an FBI “Receipt for Property” form, which details the bureau’s interactions with John Paul Mac Isaac, the owner of “The Mac Shop” who reported the laptop’s contents to authorities.
The document has a “Case ID” section, which is filled in with a hand-written number: 272D-BA-3065729.
According to multiple officials, and the FBI’s website, “272” is the bureau’s classification for money laundering, while “272D” refers to “Money Laundering, Unknown SUA [Specified Unlawful Activity]—White Collar Crime Program,” according to FBI documents. One government official described “272D” as “transnational or blanket.”
“BA” indicates the case was opened in the FBI’s Baltimore field office, sources said.
The documents state that the subpoena was carried out in Wilmington, Del., which falls under the jurisdiction of the FBI’s Baltimore Field Office.
“The FBI cannot open a case without predication, so they believed there was predication for criminal activity,” a government official told Fox News. “This means there was sufficient evidence to believe that there was criminal conduct.”
Another document, obtained by Fox News, was a subpoena sent to Isaac to testify before U.S. District Court in Delaware on Dec. 9, 2019. One page of the subpoena shows what appears to be serial numbers for a laptop and hard drive taken into possession.
FBI IN POSSESSION OF LAPTOP ALLEGEDLY BELONGING TO HUNTER BIDEN
Based on the date of the subpoena, an official told Fox News that the case would have been opened prior to Isaac's subpoena.
“If a criminal case was opened and subpoenas were issued, that means there is a high likelihood that both the laptop and hard drive contain fruits of criminal activity,” the official said.
Fox News first reported on Tuesday evening that the FBI is in possession of the laptop in question.
The FBI has declined to confirm or deny the existence of an investigation into the laptop or the emails, as is standard practice.
The Biden campaign on Wednesday pushed back on the claims leveled against Hunter Biden, particularly those first reported by The New York Post last week. The New York Post revealed that Rudy Giuliani provided them with emails allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden.
"The Attorney General of Delaware's office indicated that the FBI has 'ongoing investigations regarding the veracity of this entire story.' And it would be unsurprising for an investigation of a disinformation action involving Rudy Giuliani and those assisting him to involve questions about money laundering, especially since there are other documented inquiries into his dealings," Biden campaign spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement to Fox News. "In fact, Donald Trump's own national security adviser warned the president that material furnished by Giuliani should be considered tainted by Russian interference."
Giuliani, this week, reportedly turned over a copy of the hard drive to New Castle County Police Department in Delaware.
Richard Sauber, an attorney connected to the Biden campaign, said, in a statement to Fox News: “Criminal investigations of Russian disinformation campaigns that include the witting participation of American citizens like Rudy Giuliani often involve investigation by the FBI of whether the American has received payment for these activities that would implicate the Federal Money Laundering statutes."
Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe, however, confirmed this week that the laptop, purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden, and the emails on it “is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign," despite claims from House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif.
The FBI, in a letter to Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis., who is investigating Hunter Biden's business dealings as well as the laptop in question, said that the bureau has "nothing to add at this time to the October 19th public statement by the Director of National Intelligence about the available actionable intelligence.”
“If actionable intelligence is developed, the FBI in consultation with the Intelligence Community will evaluate the need to provide defensive briefings to you and the Committee pursuant to the established notification framework,” the letter stated.
The FBI, in its letter to Johnson, wrote that "consistent with longstanding Department of Justice (Department) policy and practice, the FBI can neither confirm nor deny the existence of any ongoing investigation or persons or entities under investigation, including to Members of Congress."
"As the Inspector General firmly reminded the Department and the FBI in recent years, this policy is designed to preserve the integrity of all Justice Department investigations and the Department’s ability to effectively administer justice without political or other undue outside influences," Tyson wrote. "Therefore, the FBI cannot provide any additional information in response to the enumerated questions in your letter."
The emails in question were first obtained by the New York Post and, in part, revealed that Hunter Biden allegedly introduced his father, the then-vice president, to a top executive at Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings less than a year before he pressured government officials in Ukraine to fire prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was investigating the company’s founder.

“We urgently need your advice on how you could use your influence to convey a message / signal, etc .to stop what we consider to be politically motivated actions,” Pozharskyi wrote.

thelibertydaily--2020-10-22--AP Downplays Democrat Domestic Terrorism to Encourage More

The far-left Associated Press ( AP ) is deliberately encouraging more left-wing domestic terrorism by downplaying the unprecedented wave of terrorism that has hit countless Democrat-run cities over the past few months .
The domestic terrorists in Antifa and Black Lives Matter are responsible for murders , assaults , arson , looting , and the destruction of large areas of numerous downtowns .
And the maniacs at the AP , who want more , are trying to convince us these terrorists are just like us .
The AP even goes so far as to encourage more terrorism by criticizing President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the worst wave of violent riots in our country ’ s history .
The article is titled — LOL — “ AP finds most arrested in protests aren ’ t leftist radicals ” and the following excerpts basically sum it up : Very few of those charged appear to be affiliated with highly organized extremist groups , and many are young suburban adults from the very neighborhoods Trump vows to protect from the violence in his reelection push to win support from the suburbs .
Several of the defendants are not from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ war zones ” but from the suburbs the Republican president has claimed to have “ saved.
” Of the 93 people arrested on federal criminal charges in Portland , 18 defendants are from out of state , the Justice Department said .
And on and on and on it goes with example after example of how “ prosecutors have provided little evidence of any affiliations they have with organized extremist groups.
” Uhm , yeah , I ’ m pretty sure rioting with these groups is “ affiliating ” with them .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of space to pretend the drop in the ocean of right-leaning counter-protesters are a big problem .
And oddly enough , nowhere does the AP seem interested in talking about how surprisingly normal these drop in the bucket of “ far-right extremists ” are — you know , how they are just like us .
The reason I know the AP is looking to encourage more terrorism is 1 ) there is simply no question the national media overall turned a corner to where they now believe terrorism and violence are legitimate means @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2 ) this is yet another attempt by the far-left media to tell us our eyes are lying to us , that there is no real threat out there , that all the death and violence and burning of city blocks wasn ’ t all that bad .
That ’ s the plan here… To get Normal Americans to put their guard down and to signal to the terrorists that terrorism is okay .
Hey , the media will always have your back .
Don ’ t worry , what you did wasn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ going to make it go away .
We ’ re going to downplay it and make excuses for you .
You ’ re a good person .
You did the right thing .

It ’ s the Trumptards we hate .

thelibertydaily--2020-10-22--WHY THEY’RE SMEARING RUDY: Giuliani Says He Has PROOF JOE Biden Was Business Partners With Chinese C

WHY THEY’RE SMEARING RUDY: Giuliani Says He Has PROOF JOE Biden Was Business Partners With Chinese Communists

WATCH : Rudy Giuliani says he has PROOF Joe Biden was business partners with Chinese Communists

Tonight at 9 p.m. ET, 8 p.m. CT, Glenn Beck goes straight to the source of the biggest story in the country with former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who takes us directly into Hunter Biden's alleged laptop.
Despite Big Tech's attempts to squash this story, there should be a mad scramble in the media to get to the bottom of major corruption allegations, but they're willfully ignoring it. However, this is not just a story about Hunter Biden.
This is all about Joe Biden. It's a story Glenn has been investigating for over a year that traces back to Ukraine and China. It goes directly to the root of corruption within our political system: How politicians use their family members to enrich the entire clan and sell out their country.
While the media looks the other way, Glenn asks Giuliani to show us the evidence. Giuliani details the chain of possession of the laptop and reveals news that he only had possession of the laptop days before the New York Post story broke. He says, "I reported this the day after I saw it."
He also drops a major bombshell on the show and says Big Tech doesn't want you to see evidence that "establishes with texts, documents, contracts" that "Joe Biden was a 10% partner with a Chinese communist … and there are witnesses that will come forward and testify to it."
Big Tech censorship is out of control. So to watch tonight's explosive episode of Glenn TV, you must be a BlazeTV subscriber.

thelibertydaily--2020-10-22--Drudge Has No Shame, Highlights Fake Borat “Sting” of Rudy Giuliani to Provide Cover for Biden Crime

Drudge Has No Shame, Highlights Fake Borat “Sting” of Rudy Giuliani to Provide Cover for Biden Crime Family

The Drudge Report is a far-left news aggregator .
If you haven ’ t been there in the last couple of years , you might still believe it ’ s relatively right-leaning , as it was for two decades .
But ( alleged ) owner Matt Drudge let his true colors shine following Donald Trump ’ s 2016 election victory and continues to be the left ’ s mouthpiece for everything anti-American .
It was bad enough that the site had a single tiny mention of the NY Post bombshell about Hunter and Joe Biden last week .
The article @ @ @ @ @ @ @ story of the year , was popped in as an afterthought , buried at the bottom of Drudge ’ s coveted front page as if only out of obligation .
But since then , he ’ s done everything he can to distract from the story .
His latest foray into progressive smokescreen-making is to have as his top story the Rudy Giuliani-Borat nothingburger .
Here ’ s the real story in a nutshell .
A single heterosexual man was seduced by an attractive 24-year-old woman before being clowned by Sacha Baron Cohen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s it .
Giuliani didn ’ t do anything that any law abiding , single heterosexual man wouldn ’ t have done .
But the left is blowing it up as if it ’ s a huge story , claiming that the actress was 15-years-old simply because “ Borat ” burst into the room claiming as much .
This is the definition of a nothingburger story .
According to The Gateway Pundit , the Cohen loves to target conservatives : The left is breathless today , after their comrade , comedian Borat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ upcoming movie .
While the clip that ’ s being used to promote his movie doesn ’ t show the actual scene , it ’ s being falsely reported that former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani was seduced by a Borat ’ s “ 15-year-old daughter.
” 100 Percent Fed Up – In the so-called “ gotcha ” scene , things got a bit heated after the 24-year-old actress seduced Giuliani in a hotel room .
Although Giuliani wasn ’ t aware , the 24-year-old actress seducing him was portraying Borat ’ s 15-year-old @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Debra Messing tweeted a link to the even-further left The Guardian that claims Rudy is “ facing questions ” about his “ indiscreet encounter ” with the 24-year-old actress , playing Borat ’ s 15-year-old daughter ( Rudy had no knowledge about the age of the character she was supposed to be playing when he was seduced by her ) .
Twitter did its part to push the nothingburger story about Rudy Giuliani while burying the story about the alleged pornographic photos of underage girls on their far-left platform : The hope of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that by pushing that fake narrative that the woman seducing Rudy is a 15-year-old , that they will impugn his character , making the Joe and Hunter Biden story that he delivered last night about new bombshell evidence found on Hunter ’ s laptop , irrelevant .
The contents of the laptop , which Giuliani claims he has turned over to the DE State Police , allegedly include multiple images of child pornography and a text message between Hunter and Joe Biden that reveals a discussion about a naked Hunter , a 14-year-old @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Borat , who ’ s made a living playing “ pranks ” on people by setting them up and then filming them with an undercover camera , failed miserably when he tried to embarrass Mike Pence with a scene featuring his “ 15-year-old daughter.
” There are plenty of solid alternatives to Drudge , including The Liberty Daily , Citizen Free Press , Conservative Playlist , Rantingly , and Whatfinger .
There ’ s just no need for anyone who supports President Trump to go to that site ever again .
If you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stop .
If you think it ’ s somehow a scandal that a single , heterosexual man can get seduced by an attractive female , you ’ re delusional .
Rudy Giuliani did nothing wrong .
Matt Drudge and mainstream media , however , did .
COVID-19 may take down an independent news outlet Nobody said running a media site would be easy .
We could use some help keeping this site afloat .

We have ads on the site that help , but since the site ’ s inception this has been a labor of love that otherwise doesn ’ t bring in the level of revenue necessary to justify it .
When I left a nice , corporate career in 2017 , I did so knowing I wouldn ’ t make nearly as much money .
But what we do at NOQ Report to deliver the truth and fight the progressive mainstream @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is too important for me to sacrifice it for the sake of wealth .
We know we ’ ll never make a ton of money this way , and we ’ re okay with that .
Things have become harder with the coronavirus lockdowns .

Twitter did its part to push the nothingburger story about Rudy Giuliani while burying the story about the alleged pornographic photos of underage girls on their far-left platform:
Twitter isn't simply allowing the Borat hoax about Rudy Giuliani to trend. It's also given the story its own "explainer." In an alternate, fairer reality, the Hunter Biden reports would've received the same treatment. pic.twitter.com/CPg3Vmr9Vp — Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) October 21, 2020
The hope of the left, of course, is that by pushing that fake narrative that the woman seducing Rudy is a 15-year-old, that they will impugn his character, making the Joe and Hunter Biden story that he delivered last night about new bombshell evidence found on Hunter’s laptop, irrelevant. The contents of the laptop, which Giuliani claims he has turned over to the DE State Police, allegedly include multiple images of child pornography and a text message between Hunter and Joe Biden that reveals a discussion about a naked Hunter, a 14-year-old girl, and a crack pipe.
Borat, who’s made a living playing “pranks” on people by setting them up and then filming them with an undercover camera, failed miserably when he tried to embarrass Mike Pence with a scene featuring his “15-year-old daughter.”

If you’re still going to Drudge, stop. If you think it’s somehow a scandal that a single, heterosexual man can get seduced by an attractive female, you’re delusional. Rudy Giuliani did nothing wrong. Matt Drudge and mainstream media, however, did.

Nobody said running a media site would be easy. We could use some help keeping this site afloat.
Colleagues have called me the worst fundraiser ever. My skills are squarely rooted on the journalistic side of running a news outlet. Paying the bills has never been my forte, but we’ve survived. We have ads on the site that help, but since the site’s inception this has been a labor of love that otherwise doesn’t bring in the level of revenue necessary to justify it.
When I left a nice, corporate career in 2017, I did so knowing I wouldn’t make nearly as much money. But what we do at NOQ Report to deliver the truth and fight the progressive mainstream media narrative that has plagued this nation is too important for me to sacrifice it for the sake of wealth. We know we’ll never make a ton of money this way, and we’re okay with that.
Things have become harder with the coronavirus lockdowns. Both ad money and donations that have kept us afloat for a while have dropped dramatically. We thought we could weather the storm, but the so-called “surge” or “2nd-wave” that mainstream media and Democrats are pushing has put our prospects in jeopardy. In short, we are now in desperate need of financial assistance.
The best way NOQ Report readers can help is to donate. Our Giving Fuel page makes it easy to donate one-time or monthly. Alternatively, you can donate through PayPal as well.

thelibertydaily--2020-10-22--Senate Democrats Announce They’ll “Boycott” Amy Coney Barrett’s Committee Vote

The theatrics will not prevent Republicans from advancing the judge 's nomination

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and the Democratic members of the Senate Judiciary Committee announced they will boycott Thursday's markup of Judge Amy Coney Barrett's nomination to the U.S. Supreme Court, in protest of Republicans' decision to move forward with President Donald Trump's high court pick so close to Election Day.
What are the details?
"This has been a sham process from the beginning," reads the statement release by Schumer and fellow Democratic Sens. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), Patrick Leahy (Vt.), Dick Durbin (Ill.), Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.), Amy Klobuchar (Minn.), Chris Coons (Del.), Richard Blumenthal (Conn.), Mazie Hirono (Hawaii), Cory Booker (N.J.) and vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris (Calif.).
The Democrats complain:
"Republicans broke the promises they made and rules they created when they blocked Merrick Garland's nomination for eight months under President Obama. Then, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said that 'the American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice.' Now, Republicans have moved at breakneck speed to jam through this nominee, ignoring her troubling record and unprecedented evasions, and breaking longstanding committee rules to set tomorrow's vote."
"Throughout the hearings last week, committee Democrats demonstrated the damage a Justice Barrett would do — to health care, reproductive freedoms, the ability to vote, and other core rights that Americans cherish," the statement continues, concluding, "We will not grant this process any further legitimacy by participating in a committee markup of this nomination just twelve days before the culmination of an election that is already underway."
NBC News reporter Sahil Kapur noted on Twitter that use of the words "'further legitimacy' is the tell here." He asked rhetorically, "If Democrats see this process as a sham, why legitimize the hearings but not the vote? The boycott comes after blowback for their ranking member lavishing praise on Lindsey Graham and his leadership in the ACB hearings."
Senate Judiciary Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein has faced calls from Democratic operatives and far-left groups to have her ousted from leadership on the committee ever since she thanked Graham, the committee chairman, for conducting what she called "the best set of hearings that I've participated in."
In reaction to questions about whether the 87-year-old senator from California will remain in her leadership position on the panel, Schumer told the media Tuesday, "I've had a long talk with Senator Feinstein. That's all I'm going to say about it right now."
Anything else?
Before the Democrats' official announcement of their boycott, the HuffPost reported that the plan had not yet been finalized according to one aide, but that "Democrats are preparing to fill their empty seats with poster-sized photos of people who would be hurt by Barrett potentially casting a deciding vote against the Affordable Care Act."


thelibertydaily--2020-10-21--Twitter Censors Wall Street Journal on Black Republican Congressional Candidate Kim Klasik

There is nothing more terrifying to a Democrat than a person of color who refuses to abide by the leftist narrative .
That ’ s why Kimberly Klacik is such a threat to their narrative .
It ’ s also the reason Twitter is censoring an article about her from the Wall Street Journal .
While some may note that “ censorship ” is too strong of a classification since Twitter isn ’ t completely blocking the article , it ’ s fair because it reduces the reach dramatically .
The story has been Tweeted by a dozen or so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the subject matter , it ’ s very likely that without the speed bump they put on the article for sharing , it had a chance of going viral .
Now , not so much .
Twitter has faced plenty of scrutiny for their handling of the Hunter Biden bombshell from the NY Post .
The fourth most circulated newspaper in the country still does not have access to their Twitter account a week after the story ran .
Twitter has also faced potential political actions as Senators Ted Cruz , Josh Hawley @ @ @ @ @ @ @ subpoena Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey ?
Instead of backing down , Twitter is doubling down .
It isn ’ t always the overt censorship that has the most impact .

Did Twitter get nervous about accusations of censorship or threats from Senators? If they did, they're more nervous about Joe Biden losing. They're continuing to censor, doubling down on what they allow on their "platform." We need more heat, @tedcruz @HawleyMO. — JD Rucker (@JDRucker) October 21, 2020

thelibertydaily--2020-10-22--The Media’s Futile Information Suppression Complex

If you needed evidence that `` Russian disinformation '' has become a catchall term for anything that undermines the Democratic Party 's electoral prospects , look no further than the response of top party apparatchiks and the mainstream media to last week 's New York Post exposé on Hunter Biden .
According to Sen. Chris Murphy ( D. , Conn. ) , the story is `` very likely Russian propaganda . ''
House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff ( D. , Calif. ) is certain the materials came `` from the Kremlin . ''
And CNN 's John Harwood tells @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by Russian intelligence . ''
The Russians may very well be behind the embarrassing email leak , as they were behind the leak of Hillary Clinton ’ s emails in 2016 .
That hardly makes the emails `` disinformation . ''
A photograph of Hunter Biden with a crack pipe dangling from his lips looks like the real McCoy to us .
The Biden campaign has offered no suggestion that the emails are phony .
Instead , Biden has offered the magical one-word response that his former boss , aided and abetted by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2008 : Smear !
It says something about the state of the mainstream media that their response has been functionally indistinguishable from that of the Democratic Party 's leadership , elected and otherwise .
Rather than race to verify the Post ’ s reporting , reporters at outlets from the New York Times and the Washington Post to National Public Radio have worked to cast aspersions on the two young , female reporters behind the scoop .
`` Post deputy political editor Emma-Jo Morris ' reports on Biden this past week constitute the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ '' sniffed NPR 's David Folkenflik .
He did n't much care for her tenure as a producer for Fox News 's Sean Hannity or as an intern at the Washington Free Beacon , either .
Reporters who have stepped out of line—and had the temerity to suggest the Post has revealed newsworthy material—have been swiftly reprimanded .
Neera Tanden , professional scold and president of the left-wing Center for American Progress , lacerated reporters for sharing the story , labeling Politico ‘ s Marc Caputo `` a tool of a Russian campaign @ @ @ @ @ @ @ . ''
The New York Times ‘ s Maggie Haberman provoked a mob attack on Twitter when she shared the story .
But most reporters were happy enough to self-censor , either for fear of the mob or because they 'd just as soon be part of it .
Jon Favreau , the former Obama flack who now interviews his old boss for a living , was pleased to report that `` most political reporters '' are debunking the `` fairly obvious bullshit '' peddled by `` right-wing liars . ''
Well , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ demonstrate that Hunter Biden is a degenerate and a drug addict , facts already well-established by the public record .
They show that Joe Biden is a loving father , a fact also well-established .
And the emails raise the question—confirmed by other , independent source material and reporting—of whether the younger Biden 's depravity ensnared his loving father into taking meetings with unsavory foreigners .
The reporters at once-venerable institutions who at one point might have chased this story have been cowed into submission and supplanted by a new generation of journalists @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the voting public but rather as herding it toward a particular political outcome .
That is why the unauthorized release of Trump 's taxes is front-page news , while the unauthorized release of Hunter Biden 's emails must be censored .
That censorship is futile in a fractured news environment where outlets such as the Post remain willing to endure the scorn of the elites—and where outlets such as the Free Beacon will continue to churn out talented young reporters to staff them .
