thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-22--The Virus That Isn’t There:  The Con, The Game & The Hustle

The Virus That Isn ’ t There : The Con , The Game & The Hustle If there is one reporter exposing the COVID-19 “ magic trick , ” it ’ s former CBS Healthwatch reporter and author of The Matrix Revealed Jon Rappoport .
He makes things very easy to understand how people are being conned out of freedom by fear porn and tyranny has advanced due to people not seeing exactly the shell game that is being played on them on a global scale .
In a recent article , Rappoport wrote about the virus that isn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the magic trick .
The following is Rappoport ’ s observations and remember , he used to cover reports for more than 3 decades as a reporter .
Recently , I ’ ve written a series of articles revealing that the existence of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is unproven .
I ’ ve quoted key CDC and study documents that confess “ the virus is unavailable.
” Which is like an ice company saying they have no access to water .
[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from Dr. Tom Cowan ’ s major article [ 6 ] exposing how CDC journal authors “ assemble ” the idea of a virus from cobbled sequences they ASSUME are parts of SARS-CoV-2 .
( Below , I reprint my article on Dr. Cowan ’ s shocking findings . )
Now , I want to make overall comments on the con , the game , the hustle .
The public , and most medical professionals , are awed by the whole concept of genetic sequencing .
They accept the process as a holy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lab claim they ’ ve “ sequenced the virus , ” the virus must exist .
How else could its genetic structure have been discovered ?
Of course , the virus doesn ’ t have to exist at all .
We are talking about an illusion .
Stage magic .
And if we could force him to explain his trick , the magician would say : “ Notice , I begin with a fragment of RNA I assume is part of a larger new virus .
My assumption isn ’ t proven .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ Then I lay out the genetic structure of that little piece of RNA , and I discover I need a great more genetic information to fill out the sequence of the whole virus.
” “ That ’ s not really a discovery .
I already knew I ’ d need much more .
The question is : where am I going to get that added information ?
” “ The answer is : from data bases .
These bases contain miles of sequences that have already been established—rightly or wrongly .
Sequences of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I choose ?
I make guesses .
I make assumptions .
Actually , I choose according to a story line that has already been laid down .
In this case , a story about a member of the coronavirus family .
That ’ s right .
I always knew what I was going to look for .
In fact , that initial piece of RNA I began with ?
I could have selected all sorts of other pieces of RNA , but I chose that one because it seemed to be from the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ business sound like a Lego or tinker-toy operation ?
Well , it is .
I never have a physical specimen of the virus .
I never isolate the purported virus from all the material that surrounds it .
I just assume or pretend the virus is in there.
” “ Anyway , I now select all sorts of genetic sequences from the huge database .
And I hook the sequences together , AS IF they were already connected and real and waiting for me to find them .
They weren ’ t , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That pretense is the key .
It ’ s like selling a sucker a map leading to a lost silver mine .
There was never a map .
The con artist cobbled it together from pieces of other old maps of a territory in the mountains of Colorado .
The map looks real .
It looks whole .
But it was never whole.
” “ THE GENETIC SEQUENCE OF THE VIRUS is that map .
It ’ s made to look like a one long code that was there all along .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t. ” “ Every good magic trick works this way .
The magician makes the audience believe he is performing one smooth operation .
But he isn ’ t .
He ’ s taking all sorts of detours .
He ’ s reaching into his sleeve and pulling out a card .
He ’ s palming that card so no one sees it .
He ’ s slipping the card into the deck in his other hand .
And all the while , he ’ s talking confidently and making other gestures @ @ @ @ @ @ @ whole purpose of the trick is to inspire awe .
In the lab , the same principle applies .
The researchers SEEM to find one long genetic sequence of the whole virus .
Astonishing.
” “ But that ’ s not what happened .
Not by a long shot.
” “ And notice one other very important thing .
In the lab , we are actually piecing and cobbling together the pattern—the code—of a virus .
We don ’ t have to deal with actual genes .
What we do is all on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ re hooking up DATA .
So that ’ s another level of the trick .
We ’ re not stringing together pieces of material .
We ’ re stringing together pieces of data from genetic databases .
This would be like standing on stage in front of an audience and doing a very clever card trick without having a deck of cards in the first place .
Now THAT ’ S a trick for the ages.
” With all this I mind , read my previous article on Dr. Tom Cowan ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ explores the COVID virus invented out of sheer nonsense —Cowan analyzes yet another key document posted by the CDC , in their journal , Emerging Infectious Diseases : “ Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 from Patient with Coronavirus Disease , United States ” — The hits keep coming .
The CDC used an arbitrary computer “ tinker-toy ” process to invent a description of the virus .
The virus that no one has proven exists .
This is the basic conclusion of Dr. Tom Cowan .
The CDC article [ 7 ] @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Her co-author , Dr. Cowan , fleshes out the fraud .
Cowan ’ s article is titled , “ Only Poisoned Monkey Cells ‘ Grew ’ the ‘ Virus ’ .
” [ 6 ] Dr. Cowan : “ [ The CDC journal article ] was published in June 2020 [ original publication , March 2020 ] .
The purpose of the article was for a group of about 20 virologists to describe the state of the science of the isolation , purification and biological characteristics of the new SARS-CoV-2 virus , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for their own research .
A thorough and careful reading of this important paper reveals some shocking findings.
” “ First , in the section titled ‘ Whole Genome Sequencing , ’ we find that rather than having isolated the virus and sequencing the genome from end to end , they found 37 base pairs from unpurified samples using PCR probes .
This means they actually looked at 37 out of the approximately 30,000 of the base pairs that are claimed to be the genome of the intact virus .
They then took @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a computer program , which filled in the rest of the base pairs.
” In other words , the sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was done by assumption and arbitrary inference .
If this is science , a penguin is a spaceship .
Cowan : “ To me , this computer-generation step constitutes scientific fraud .
Here is an equivalency : A group of researchers claim to have found a unicorn because they found a piece of a hoof , a hair from a tail , and a snippet of a horn .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ computer and program it to re-create the unicorn , and they then claim this computer re-creation is the real unicorn .
Of course , they had never actually seen a unicorn so could not possibly have examined its genetic makeup to compare their samples with the actual unicorn ’ s hair , hooves and horn.
” “ The researchers claim they decided which is the real genome of SARS-CoV-2 by ‘ consensus , ’ sort of like a vote .
Again , different computer programs will come up with different versions of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ come together as a group and decide which is the real imaginary unicorn.
” As I ’ ve been stating [ 5 ] , the “ discovery ” of the “ new virus ” was actually the foisting of a PRE-DETERMINED STORY ABOUT A VIRUS .
Nothing real or believable about it .
But once the official pattern is laid down , others follow it dutifully .
Dr. Cowan uncovers more insanity in the CDC journal article .
Using the ASSUMED new virus , in an UN-ISOLATED STATE , the researchers try to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on to several different types of cells in the lab : Cowan : “ The real blockbuster finding in this study comes later , a finding so shocking that I had to read it many times before I could believe what I was reading .
Let me quote the passage intact : ” “ ’ Therefore , we examined the capacity of SARS-CoV-2 to infect and replicate in several common primate and human cell lines , including human adenocarcinoma cells ( A549 ) , human liver cells ( HUH 7.0 ) , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In addition to Vero E6 and Vero CCL81 cells [ monkey cells ] .
… Each cell line was inoculated at high multiplicity of infection and examined 24h post-infection .
No CPE was observed in any of the cell lines except in Vero [ monkey ] cells , which grew to greater than 10 to the 7th power at 24 h post-infection .
In contrast , HUH 7.0 and 293T showed only modest viral replication , and A549 cells [ human cells ] were incompatible with SARS CoV-2 infection ’ .
” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and why is it the most shocking statement of all from the virology community ?
When virologists attempt to prove infection , they have three possible ‘ hosts ’ or models on which they can test… ” “ The third method virologists use to prove infection and pathogenicity — the method they most rely on — is inoculation of solutions they say contain the virus onto a variety of tissue cultures .
As I have pointed out many times , such inoculation has never been shown to kill ( lyse ) the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ starved and poisoned.
” “ The shocking thing about the above [ CDC journal ] quote is that using their own methods , the virologists found that solutions containing SARS-CoV-2 — even in high amounts — were NOT , I repeat NOT , infective to any of the three human tissue cultures they tested .
In plain English , this means they proved , on their terms , that this ‘ new coronavirus ’ is not infectious to human beings .
It is ONLY infective to monkey kidney cells , and only then @ @ @ @ @ @ @ gentamicin and amphotericin ) , known to be toxic to kidneys , to the mix.
” “ My friends , read this again and again .
These virologists , published by the CDC , performed a clear proof , on their terms , showing that the SARS-CoV- 2 virus is harmless to human beings .
That is the only possible conclusion , but , unfortunately , this result is not even mentioned in their conclusion .
They simply say they can provide virus stocks cultured only on monkey Vero cells , thanks for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ genetic sequencing that involves concocting , out of an arbitrary computer program… The existence and structure of the “ new virus ” … And then , taking a soup that the researchers claim contains the virus , in an un-isolated state , inject the soup into several types of cells in the lab… And discover the prime target—human cells—are not infected by the imaginary virus .
And after this good day ’ s work , walk away and pretend nothing odd or self-incriminating happened .
And oh yes , lock down the planet @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , we MUST take a toxic vaccine that prevents non-infection by the non-virus .
Friends , the world has been WHO-dooed by this plandemic , scamdemic .
The con is in and Con-vid is just that , a con .
Haven ’ t you had enough of the lies ?
Haven ’ t you had enough of the tyranny or are you settling into more apathy so the tyrants can advance further ?

With all this I mind, read my previous article on Dr. Tom Cowan’s shocking discoveries:
Dr. Tom Cowan explores the COVID virus invented out of sheer nonsense
—Cowan analyzes yet another key document posted by the CDC, in their journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases: “Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 from Patient with Coronavirus Disease, United States”—
by Jon Rappoport
October 19, 2020
The hits keep coming. The CDC used an arbitrary computer “tinker-toy” process to invent a description of the virus. The virus that no one has proven exists. This is the basic conclusion of Dr. Tom Cowan.
The CDC article [7] was discovered by Sally Fallon Morrell. Her co-author, Dr. Cowan, fleshes out the fraud. Cowan’s article is titled, “Only Poisoned Monkey Cells ‘Grew’ the ‘Virus’.” [6]
Dr. Cowan: “[The CDC journal article] was published in June 2020 [original publication, March 2020]. The purpose of the article was for a group of about 20 virologists to describe the state of the science of the isolation, purification and biological characteristics of the new SARS-CoV-2 virus, and to share this information with other scientists for their own research.

They then took these 37 segments and put them into a computer program, which filled in the rest of the base pairs.”
In other words, the sequencing of the SARS-CoV-2 virus was done by assumption and arbitrary inference. If this is science, a penguin is a spaceship.
Cowan: “To me, this computer-generation step constitutes scientific fraud. Here is an equivalency: A group of researchers claim to have found a unicorn because they found a piece of a hoof, a hair from a tail, and a snippet of a horn. They then add that information into a computer and program it to re-create the unicorn, and they then claim this computer re-creation is the real unicorn. Of course, they had never actually seen a unicorn so could not possibly have examined its genetic makeup to compare their samples with the actual unicorn’s hair, hooves and horn.”
“The researchers claim they decided which is the real genome of SARS-CoV-2 by ‘consensus,’ sort of like a vote. Again, different computer programs will come up with different versions of the imaginary ‘unicorn,’ so they come together as a group and decide which is the real imaginary unicorn.”
As I’ve been stating [5], the “discovery” of the “new virus” was actually the foisting of a PRE-DETERMINED STORY ABOUT A VIRUS. Nothing real or believable about it.
But once the official pattern is laid down, others follow it dutifully.
Dr. Cowan uncovers more insanity in the CDC journal article. Using the ASSUMED new virus, in an UN-ISOLATED STATE, the researchers try to prove it is harmful by injecting it on to several different types of cells in the lab:
Cowan: “The real blockbuster finding in this study comes later, a finding so shocking that I had to read it many times before I could believe what I was reading. Let me quote the passage intact:”
“’Therefore, we examined the capacity of SARS-CoV-2 to infect and replicate in several common primate and human cell lines, including human adenocarcinoma cells (A549), human liver cells (HUH 7.0), and human embryonic kidney cells (HEK-293T). In addition to Vero E6 and Vero CCL81 cells [monkey cells]. … Each cell line was inoculated at high multiplicity of infection and examined 24h post-infection. No CPE was observed in any of the cell lines except in Vero [monkey] cells, which grew to greater than 10 to the 7th power at 24 h post-infection. In contrast, HUH 7.0 and 293T showed only modest viral replication, and A549 cells [human cells] were incompatible with SARS CoV-2 infection’.”
“What does this language actually mean, and why is it the most shocking statement of all from the virology community? When virologists attempt to prove infection, they have three possible ‘hosts’ or models on which they can test…”
“The third method virologists use to prove infection and pathogenicity — the method they most rely on — is inoculation of solutions they say contain the virus onto a variety of tissue cultures. As I have pointed out many times, such inoculation has never been shown to kill (lyse) the tissue, unless the tissue is first starved and poisoned.”

“My friends, read this again and again. These virologists, published by the CDC, performed a clear proof, on their terms, showing that the SARS-CoV- 2 virus is harmless to human beings. That is the only possible conclusion, but, unfortunately, this result is not even mentioned in their conclusion. They simply say they can provide virus stocks cultured only on monkey Vero cells, thanks for coming.”
So first…use a process of genetic sequencing that involves concocting, out of an arbitrary computer program…
The existence and structure of the “new virus”…
And then, taking a soup that the researchers claim contains the virus, in an un-isolated state, inject the soup into several types of cells in the lab…
And discover the prime target—human cells—are not infected by the imaginary virus.
And after this good day’s work, walk away and pretend nothing odd or self-incriminating happened.
And oh yes, lock down the planet based on this “science.”
Naturally, we MUST take a toxic vaccine that prevents non-infection by the non-virus.

thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-22--The Biden Crime Family Comes Undone

The Biden Crime Family Comes Undone

The Biden family is notorious for being the crookedest clan not only in Delaware , but in D.C. Delaware is a pretty small place , but D.C. is even smaller , yet the scope for corruption , unethical behavior , conflicts of interest , and even brazen thievery are far greater in Washington D.C. And yet the Biden family stood out even there .
To be born a Biden in the era after Joe switched his party affiliation , plagiarized his speeches , and inappropriately touched every woman or girl he could get his hands on in the state and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into dirty money .
Joe Biden was now asked in Wisconsin if Hunter had “ profited off the Biden name ” .
“ None whatsoever , ” the godfather of Delaware retorted .
And the entire state laughed .
Say it ain ’ t so , Joe .
It doesn ’ t matter if you ’ re a Democrat or a Republican , in Delaware , everyone knows that the Biden name means money in the bank .
Literally .
Just ask MBNA , Hunter ’ s former employer , whose executives poured @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and one of whom bought his house .
“ Don ’ t worry about investors , ” James Biden , Joe ’ s brother , famous for scoring a billion dollar contract to build houses in Iraq , told executives at Paradigm Global Advisors .
“ We ’ ve got people all around the world who want to invest in Joe Biden.
” James had bought Paradigm together with Hunter Biden .
Biden can try to deny the obvious , but he isn ’ t even trying to deny that the emails @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it was his son ’ s laptop .
Instead , he spouted a word salad of gibberish , stating , “ the vast of the intelligence people have come out and said there ’ s no basis at all.
” Why does Biden need to call on “ the vast of the intelligence people ” who carefully avoided making a firm statement , to deny something he is better able to deny on his own ?
Because it ’ s really an admission .
The latest emails make it all too clear that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Ukranian prosecutor , fired because Burisma wanted him gone and that Hunter Biden ’ s purpose in making deals with a powerful Chinese energy company linked to the Communist regime was to produce income for “ me and my family ” .
It ’ s no wonder that the latest reports link the FBI ’ s subpoena of the laptop , not to the media ’ s false claims of a Russian op , but to a money laundering investigation .
Investing in Joe Biden or , as one message allegedly has it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meant depositing the money with James or Hunter .
And then Hunter deposited a laptop with a small computer repair shop in Delaware five miles from his father ’ s home , and never picked it up .
The rest is history .
And history is happening now .
The Hunter Biden laptop unrolls two ragged threads .
One is the descent of Joe Biden ’ s son into new depths of depravity and the other are the foreign investors who bought into Joe Biden Inc .
The alleged photos of Hunter Biden @ @ @ @ @ @ @ might be dismissed as a spoiled rich kid ’ s demons .
But , looking at public photos and videos of Joe Biden touching , caressing , and sniffing women and young girls , it ’ s hard not to see the influence .
What did a teenage Hunter grow up seeing his father do ?
How did that shape him into the man he is ?
And why was Hunter able to get away with it for so long ?
In alleged text messages exchanged between Joe and Hunter Biden , father @ @ @ @ @ @ @ behavior with a 14-year-old girl .
“ She told my therapist that I was sexually inappropriate with [ name of 14-year-old girl redacted ] when she says that I facetime naked with her and the reason I can ’ t have her out to see me is because I ’ ll walk around naked smoking crack talking [ redacted ] girls on face time , ” Hunter appeared to message his father .
What was done about this ?
The odds are good that the answer is nothing .
The Hunter Biden laptop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ December of 2019 .
And the FBI appears to have done little with it .
Giuliani submitted material allegedly showing criminal sexual behavior to the Delaware police who passed it off to the Delaware Department of Justice .
A spokesman for Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings said it was sent to the FBI .
Jennings is not only a Democrat , but a friend of the Biden family who had worked under Beau Biden and has been vigorously campaigning for Joe Biden .
“ I ’ ve known Joe , Jill , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ life .
Joe is one of the kindest and most genuine people I ’ ve ever known , ” Jennings had posted on her Facebook page .
The Biden family may have been able to get away with a lot for the same reason as the Kennedy clan .
They were big fish in a small pond being protected by the Democrat club .
Like some Kennedy sons , Hunter may have spun out of control because he could get away with it .
That ’ s why Hunter Biden ’ s story @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Father and son appear to share a boundless greed for unearned wealth and women , and a complete lack of self-control with both .
And both men have spent their lives being protected from the consequences of their actions .
Laptop computers , like notebooks , are the mirrors of their owners .
We use them and fill them with the things that matter to us .
Going through a lost laptop or phone tells us a lot about the man or woman who spent years with it .
Hunter Biden ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
And the mirror shows a broken and corrupt human being filling its gigabytes with his demons .
What were Hunter Biden ’ s demons ?
The same as the ones that bedeviled Joe .
Women and money .
And as dirty and wrong as possible .
That ’ s why Hunter allegedly didn ’ t just seek out money , he went after business opportunities in the most corrupt places in the world , like Kazakhstan and the People ’ s Republic of China , and he didn ’ t just chase @ @ @ @ @ @ @ said that the laptop contained photos of underage girls .
But the bigger story isn ’ t Hunter ’ s depravity , it ’ s the business opportunities , the lobbying gigs and board seats offered to him by foreign companies looking to invest in Joe Biden .
In less than two weeks , Joe Biden ’ s stock will either boom or bust .
And voters are entitled to know who , beyond the battalions of domestic special interests from Wall Street to Hollywood , from the gun control lobby to green @ @ @ @ @ @ @ his campaign , is getting ready to collect interest on the foreign money that financed Hunter ’ s lifestyle .
Hunter Biden ’ s emails offer a window into a global operation , in the Ukraine , in Kazakhstan , and the People ’ s Republic of China , of investing in Joe Biden courtesy of his wastrel son .
Joe Biden has claimed that he has nothing to do with his son ’ s business affairs , but that ’ s a transparent lie that had been shot down even long before @ @ @ @ @ @ @ media is frantically trying to bury information that backs up their own reporting from the primaries when the same media now trying to save Joe Biden originally wanted to bury him .
Why did so many Democrat officials , beginning with Barack Obama , try to keep Joe Biden from running in 2016 and then 2020 ?
Joe Biden is a mediocre hack , but he ’ s a better candidate than Hillary Clinton , not to mention lefty luminaries like Al Gore or John Kerry .
The problem was that the small @ @ @ @ @ @ @ was littered with their dirty laundry .
And now , in the final stretch before Election Day , the messy stained laundry is spilling out .
Like Humpty Dumpty , all the Democrat horses and men are trying to keep the mess contained .
Twitter and Facebook are blatantly suppressing the story .
The media has refused to cover the biggest scandal of the election while falsely claiming that Hunter Biden ’ s laptop is Russian disinformation despite clear denials by the intelligence community and the FBI .
Hunter Biden ’ s laptop @ @ @ @ @ @ @ degenerate past , but of the coming attractions .
The Biden crime family has built a global network of contacts .
And when their father was a mere veep , they could only wet their beaks a little .
If he wins , they ’ ll be able to drown in money .
Joe could throw around his weight in a backwater like Ukraine , but if he wins , Burisma will just be a tiny taste of what is to come .
And the corruption in D.C. will make Delaware blush again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but what the laptop reveals about Hunter Biden and his father is that , like the Clintons , they have no self-control .
And the only thing more dangerous than cunning crooks at the head of a nation are inept kleptocrats who would leave evidence of their financial and sexual corruption on a laptop abandoned in a Delaware repair shop .
As new details trickle out , two things are obvious about the Biden crime family : they ’ re not only as crooked as a bent tree in a thunderstorm , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ covering it up .
Even as the media denies everything for the Bidens , they have yet to deny the core facts .
Rep. Schiff may claim that Hunter Biden ’ s laptop is a Russian conspiracy , but neither Joe nor Hunter will say it .
And what Schiff and the Democrats and their media can only say behind their backs is that they can ’ t believe how corrupt and incompetent the horse they bet on really is .
They haven ’ t seen anything yet .

The Biden family is notorious for being the crookedest clan not only in Delaware, but in D.C.
Delaware is a pretty small place, but D.C. is even smaller, yet the scope for corruption, unethical behavior, conflicts of interest, and even brazen thievery are far greater in Washington D.C.
And yet the Biden family stood out even there. To be born a Biden in the era after Joe switched his party affiliation, plagiarized his speeches, and inappropriately touched every woman or girl he could get his hands on in the state and the nation, was to be bred into dirty money.
Joe Biden was now asked in Wisconsin if Hunter had “profited off the Biden name”.
“None whatsoever,” the godfather of Delaware retorted. And the entire state laughed.
Say it ain’t so, Joe.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a Democrat or a Republican, in Delaware, everyone knows that the Biden name means money in the bank. Literally. Just ask MBNA, Hunter’s former employer, whose executives poured $200,000 into Joe’s coffers, and one of whom bought his house.
“Don’t worry about investors,” James Biden, Joe’s brother, famous for scoring a billion dollar contract to build houses in Iraq, told executives at Paradigm Global Advisors. “We’ve got people all around the world who want to invest in Joe Biden.”
James had bought Paradigm together with Hunter Biden.
Biden can try to deny the obvious, but he isn’t even trying to deny that the emails and photos are real, or that it was his son’s laptop. Instead, he spouted a word salad of gibberish, stating, “the vast of the intelligence people have come out and said there’s no basis at all.”
Why does Biden need to call on “the vast of the intelligence people” who carefully avoided making a firm statement, to deny something he is better able to deny on his own?
Because it’s really an admission.
The latest emails make it all too clear that Joe Biden got Viktor Shokin, the Ukranian prosecutor, fired because Burisma wanted him gone and that Hunter Biden’s purpose in making deals with a powerful Chinese energy company linked to the Communist regime was to produce income for “me and my family”. It’s no wonder that the latest reports link the FBI’s subpoena of the laptop, not to the media’s false claims of a Russian op, but to a money laundering investigation.
Investing in Joe Biden or, as one message allegedly has it, “the big guy”, meant depositing the money with James or Hunter. And then Hunter deposited a laptop with a small computer repair shop in Delaware five miles from his father’s home, and never picked it up. The rest is history.
And history is happening now.
The Hunter Biden laptop unrolls two ragged threads. One is the descent of Joe Biden’s son into new depths of depravity and the other are the foreign investors who bought into Joe Biden Inc.
The alleged photos of Hunter Biden’s drug use and underage girls might be dismissed as a spoiled rich kid’s demons. But, looking at public photos and videos of Joe Biden touching, caressing, and sniffing women and young girls, it’s hard not to see the influence. What did a teenage Hunter grow up seeing his father do? How did that shape him into the man he is?
And why was Hunter able to get away with it for so long?
In alleged text messages exchanged between Joe and Hunter Biden, father and son discuss “sexually inappropriate” behavior with a 14-year-old girl.
“She told my therapist that I was sexually inappropriate with [name of 14-year-old girl redacted] when she says that I facetime naked with her and the reason I can’t have her out to see me is because I’ll walk around naked smoking crack talking [redacted] girls on face time,” Hunter appeared to message his father.
What was done about this? The odds are good that the answer is nothing.
The Hunter Biden laptop was turned over to the FBI in December of 2019. And the FBI appears to have done little with it. Giuliani submitted material allegedly showing criminal sexual behavior to the Delaware police who passed it off to the Delaware Department of Justice.
A spokesman for Delaware Attorney General Kathy Jennings said it was sent to the FBI.
Jennings is not only a Democrat, but a friend of the Biden family who had worked under Beau Biden and has been vigorously campaigning for Joe Biden.
“I’ve known Joe, Jill, and the Biden family for most of my life. Joe is one of the kindest and most genuine people I’ve ever known,” Jennings had posted on her Facebook page.
The Biden family may have been able to get away with a lot for the same reason as the Kennedy clan. They were big fish in a small pond being protected by the Democrat club. Like some Kennedy sons, Hunter may have spun out of control because he could get away with it.
That’s why Hunter Biden’s story is just an echo of Joe. Father and son appear to share a boundless greed for unearned wealth and women, and a complete lack of self-control with both.
And both men have spent their lives being protected from the consequences of their actions.
Laptop computers, like notebooks, are the mirrors of their owners. We use them and fill them with the things that matter to us. Going through a lost laptop or phone tells us a lot about the man or woman who spent years with it. Hunter Biden’s laptop is a mirror of the man. And the mirror shows a broken and corrupt human being filling its gigabytes with his demons.
What were Hunter Biden’s demons? The same as the ones that bedeviled Joe. Women and money. And as dirty and wrong as possible. That’s why Hunter allegedly didn’t just seek out money, he went after business opportunities in the most corrupt places in the world, like Kazakhstan and the People’s Republic of China, and he didn’t just chase women.
Instead, Rudy Giuliani has said that the laptop contained photos of underage girls.
But the bigger story isn’t Hunter’s depravity, it’s the business opportunities, the lobbying gigs and board seats offered to him by foreign companies looking to invest in Joe Biden.
In less than two weeks, Joe Biden’s stock will either boom or bust. And voters are entitled to know who, beyond the battalions of domestic special interests from Wall Street to Hollywood, from the gun control lobby to green businesses, pouring hundreds of millions into his campaign, is getting ready to collect interest on the foreign money that financed Hunter’s lifestyle.
Hunter Biden’s emails offer a window into a global operation, in the Ukraine, in Kazakhstan, and the People’s Republic of China, of investing in Joe Biden courtesy of his wastrel son.
Joe Biden has claimed that he has nothing to do with his son’s business affairs, but that’s a transparent lie that had been shot down even long before the laptop by media reporting. The media is frantically trying to bury information that backs up their own reporting from the primaries when the same media now trying to save Joe Biden originally wanted to bury him.
Why did so many Democrat officials, beginning with Barack Obama, try to keep Joe Biden from running in 2016 and then 2020? Joe Biden is a mediocre hack, but he’s a better candidate than Hillary Clinton, not to mention lefty luminaries like Al Gore or John Kerry. The problem was that the small state that spawned the Biden crime family was littered with their dirty laundry.
And now, in the final stretch before Election Day, the messy stained laundry is spilling out.
Like Humpty Dumpty, all the Democrat horses and men are trying to keep the mess contained. Twitter and Facebook are blatantly suppressing the story. The media has refused to cover the biggest scandal of the election while falsely claiming that Hunter Biden’s laptop is Russian disinformation despite clear denials by the intelligence community and the FBI.
Hunter Biden’s laptop isn’t just evidence of a degenerate past, but of the coming attractions.
The Biden crime family has built a global network of contacts. And when their father was a mere veep, they could only wet their beaks a little. If he wins, they’ll be able to drown in money.
Joe could throw around his weight in a backwater like Ukraine, but if he wins, Burisma will just be a tiny taste of what is to come. And the corruption in D.C. will make Delaware blush again.
Corruption is nothing new in D.C., but what the laptop reveals about Hunter Biden and his father is that, like the Clintons, they have no self-control. And the only thing more dangerous than cunning crooks at the head of a nation are inept kleptocrats who would leave evidence of their financial and sexual corruption on a laptop abandoned in a Delaware repair shop.
As new details trickle out, two things are obvious about the Biden crime family: they’re not only as crooked as a bent tree in a thunderstorm, they’re also hopelessly stupid at covering it up.
Even as the media denies everything for the Bidens, they have yet to deny the core facts.
Rep. Schiff may claim that Hunter Biden’s laptop is a Russian conspiracy, but neither Joe nor Hunter will say it. And what Schiff and the Democrats and their media can only say behind their backs is that they can’t believe how corrupt and incompetent the horse they bet on really is.
They haven’t seen anything yet.

The UK’s Metro on Thursday published a sob story entitled “I stopped wearing my hijab because I was scared for my life,” all about “Islamophobia” in the Sceptered Isle.

Racism? What race is Islam again? What race is wearing the hijab? In any case, this article proceeds from the assumption that women who wear hijabs in the UK (and the US) are routinely subjected to discrimination and harassment, and that Britons (and Americans) consequently need this reminder that decent folk treat hijabis with respect. Hijabis should indeed be treated with respect, like everyone else, but it is false that they are routinely disrespected in this country.
In fact, many of the most celebrated of the cases claiming this turned out to have been faked by the victims themselves. In one such incident, an eleven-year-old girl in Toronto made international headlines with her claim that a man had followed her and cut her hijab with scissors. After an investigation, police concluded that the attack never happened. Likewise, Yasmin Seweid, a Muslim teen who claimed in December 2016 that Trump supporters on a New York subway tore off her hijab and no one in the packed subway car helped her. She, too, gained international media attention, and she, too, made up the whole thing.

On Sept. 9, I followed up with an examination of the ongoing violent demonstrations we’ve witnessed in some of our larger, Democrat-controlled cities, characterizing their participants as the foot soldiers of an emerging communist revolution. On Sept. 30, I detailed how the political left systematically subverted the history of our nation through media and education, thereby producing a number of propagandized ignoramuses sufficient to fuel such a revolution. Finally, on Oct. 7, I discussed the left’s murderous proclivities and the danger these represent to all Americans.
Over the last couple of weeks, we’ve seen news items discussing celebrity music artists who have threatened to leave the country if President Donald Trump is reelected. We’ve heard celebrity entertainers level these threats on many previous occasions, only to disappoint us when they don’t follow through.
Recently, rock musician Bruce Springsteen told The Daily Telegraph he’ll “see you on the next plane” if President Trump is reelected.

As Mr. Loftus indicated, there’s definitely a great deal of self-importance involved in making public threats to leave the country if one’s candidate isn’t elected, but such statements are far more indicative of these individuals being cases of arrested emotional development. It’s an archetypal anecdote: The child playing with friends who becomes angry over some trifle and leaves the sandbox, stomping away with the armload of toys he brought with him. Adults who act out childishly are often likened to such children.
As we’ve seen time and again, the very premises of liberal positions and political arguments are often so bereft of thought and deliberation that non-liberals evaluate them as childish. Why? Because they are.
Take the view of the American left on economics and immigration, just to pull two topics out of the air. The idea that we can simply gift resources to groups or nations the left deems deserving, in perpetuity and without consequence, reflects a marked immaturity in their processing of economic concepts. The idea that we can allow every dispossessed foreign national into the country to benefit from America’s prosperity and opportunity just because it’d be nice to do so is profoundly juvenile. Calls to defund the police and the Pentagon, such as we’ve been hearing from the left for months, are so infantile that they defy analysis.
Guys like Springsteen and Lee are admittedly at something of a disadvantage. Like so many mega-famous entertainers, they were swept into that culture when they were very young. Consequently, they have been out of touch regarding how the rest of us live for a very long time. Decades of living in the extremely insular bubble of the entertainment industry and associating exclusively with the like-minded have convinced them that theirs is the prevailing view in America.
Celebrities aren’t spoiled because they’re rich, or even because they’re famous. They’re spoiled because they’ve been coddled, much in the way we’ve increasingly coddled young people over the last 50 years. So, Springsteen, Lee and many celebrities were recipients of an unfortunate double-whammy, if you’re inclined to feel sorry for them.
To be fair, there are some eminently sensible celebrities in the entertainment industry, though they tend to be few and far between. As an industry, however, it is our enemy; I probably don’t have to remind my readers that its overall influence over the last 50 years has been driven by dedicated leftists and has been demonstrably harmful to our nation.
We should be mindful that, like most liberals, celebrity entertainers have been manipulated into harboring these imprudent views by politicos with an agenda. Still, one has to be receptive to such views to some degree to start with, which would tend to explain those celebrities who don’t succumb to leftist orthodoxy despite the prevailing culture of the entertainment industry.
As conservative commentators have said for years, the viewpoints of the rank-and-file left are rooted in emotion rather than reason – and who among us are more emotional than children?

thewashingtonstandard--2020-10-23--Strange Election “Coincidences”: 1 Blue Moon, 2 Asteroids & 3 Simultaneous Lightning Strikes

This has already been one of the most bizarre presidential election seasons in U.S. history , and it gets stranger with each passing day .
So it seems appropriate that nature is getting into the act as well .
Some very unusual natural events are happening , and many are speculating that some or all of them may have some sort of deeper meaning .
For example , there will be a “ blue moon ” on the Saturday before the election , and of course Halloween just also happens to fall on that particular Saturday .
The following comes @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even more unusual is the fact that this will be the very first Halloween blue moon to occur in all global time zones since 1944… In 1944 , World War II was reaching a crescendo , and in 2020 we have definitely had our share of trouble as well .
But a blue moon is not the only odd natural event that is taking place during this time frame .
On Thursday , an asteroid that is the “ size of London ’ s Big Ben clock tower ” zoomed past the Earth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ended… In what is perhaps yet another signal of end times upon us , an asteroid that is the “ size of London ’ s Big Ben clock tower ” is going to fly past the Earth tonight , moments after the end of the next Presidential debate .
It ’ ll pass the Earth safely on Thursday at 10:49PM EST , Fox News reports .
The asteroid is called 2020 TGI and is traveling at an estimated 30,700 miles per hour .
It ’ s going to miss the Earth by about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just a “ coincidence ” , but another asteroid is scheduled to make an extremely close pass to Earth literally the day before the election .
The following is what Neil deGrasse Tyson tweeted about this asteroid the other day… .
You have to admit , that is pretty bizarre .

I don ’ t know , but as I am writing this article I am reminded of the fact that if Donald Trump loses the popular vote but wins the Electoral College , it will be the third time in the last six elections that this has happened .

This has already been one of the most bizarre presidential election seasons in U.S. history, and it gets stranger with each passing day. So it seems appropriate that nature is getting into the act as well. Some very unusual natural events are happening, and many are speculating that some or all of them may have some sort of deeper meaning.
For example, there will be a “blue moon” on the Saturday before the election, and of course Halloween just also happens to fall on that particular Saturday. The following comes from the Jerusalem Post…
The events of 2020 have been strange enough that some might quip they would only happen once in a blue moon. But this year will even have one of those: At the end of October, an actual, rare blue moon will occur – on Halloween.
What makes this even more unusual is the fact that this will be the very first Halloween blue moon to occur in all global time zones since 1944…
This year’s is particularly unusual as it is the first full moon to occur across all time zones since 1944, although there is a full moon on Halloween somewhere in the world every 19 years – meaning that the next one to occur will be in 2039, followed by 2058 and 2077.
In 1944, World War II was reaching a crescendo, and in 2020 we have definitely had our share of trouble as well.
But a blue moon is not the only odd natural event that is taking place during this time frame.
On Thursday, an asteroid that is the “size of London’s Big Ben clock tower” zoomed past the Earth just minutes after the final presidential debate ended…
In what is perhaps yet another signal of end times upon us, an asteroid that is the “size of London’s Big Ben clock tower” is going to fly past the Earth tonight, moments after the end of the next Presidential debate. It’ll pass the Earth safely on Thursday at 10:49PM EST, Fox News reports. The asteroid is called 2020 TGI and is traveling at an estimated 30,700 miles per hour. It’s going to miss the Earth by about 7 million miles.
Perhaps that is just a “coincidence”, but another asteroid is scheduled to make an extremely close pass to Earth literally the day before the election. The following is what Neil deGrasse Tyson tweeted about this asteroid the other day….
Asteroid 2018VP1, a refrigerator-sized space-rock, is hurtling towards us at more than 40,000 km/hr. It may buzz-cut Earth on Nov 2, the day before the Presidential Election. It’s not big enough to cause harm. So if the World ends in 2020, it won’t be the fault of the Universe.
You have to admit, that is pretty bizarre.
And on top of everything else that I have just shared, the Trump Hotel in Chicago was hit by “three simultaneous lightning strikes” on Thursday. One photographer was fortunate enough to capture that moment, and you can view that photograph right here.

Everyone has heard of lightning “striking twice”, but what does it mean when lightning strikes three times?
I don’t know, but as I am writing this article I am reminded of the fact that if Donald Trump loses the popular vote but wins the Electoral College, it will be the third time in the last six elections that this has happened.
Many of the pundits in the mainstream media are counting Trump out, but they did the same thing in 2016 and he still won.
And on Thursday, Rasmussen had some really good polling news for Trump…
With just 12 days to go before the election, @realDonaldTrump‘s approval rating has popped over 50%, considered the holy grail of reelection numbers.
In less than two weeks, the voting will be over and the results will start coming in.
It is going to be absolutely fascinating to watch what happens, and I have a feeling that the events of the next several weeks will be very dramatic.

Many European authorities have been reluctant to reimpose harsh lockdown measures after previous restrictions caused deep recessions and widespread bitterness .

Many European authorities have been reluctant to reimpose harsh lockdown measures after previous restrictions caused deep recessions and widespread bitterness. However, other countries, such as Ireland, have taken to intentionally destroying people’s livelihoods over what’s turning out to be a mild illness.
Economic Terrorism Continues: Ireland Imposes A 6-Week Lockdown
Ireland became the first European country to enter a second national lockdown and Germany’s daily cases leaped to a record high as the second wave of coronavirus spread gloom across the continent on Thursday. Germany is expected to launch new shutdowns and more restrictions on basic human rights to fight the “invisible enemy.” Heads of state governments and representatives of the federal chancellery and Chancellor Merkel have met to decide on new measures (harsher restrictions on freedom.)
Faced with the sharp rise in cases, authorities have toughened the scamdemic measures, such as banning large gatherings and making face masks compulsory on certain streets in Berlin.
Europe Locks Down Again, China Institutes MASS TESTING Of ENTIRE CITY
But Ireland’s five million people have been ordered to stay at home for six weeks, with non-essential businesses urged to shut up shop. The government has said this will result in about 150,000 jobs being lost. Irish authorities have also imposed a strict five-kilometer (three-mile) travel limit, limited bars, and restaurants to takeaway only, and extended a ban on visits between households.
“It’s devastating to see us locked down again… during our busiest line-up for the Christmas period,” Dublin antique jeweler John Farrington told AFP this week.
The county of South Yorkshire, in the United Kingdom, which includes the city of Sheffield, will enter into “very high” alert or tier three restrictions for at least four weeks from Saturday, the UK government announced. This horrific decision will affect around 1.4 million people, taking the number under the very toughest restrictions to 7.3 million, or about 13 percent of England’s population, according to Medical Xpress.
In France, major cities including Paris were virtually deserted on the fifth night of a curfew affecting some 20 million people from 9pm. The number of patients in intensive care in France has surged past 2,000 for the first time since May. Elsewhere in Europe, Poland’s prime minister said he wanted “red zone” lockdown measures to be extended to the entire country amid a record spike in infections.
Back when the coronavirus news first broke, we warned that the harsh lockdowns imposed in China would spread, and they probably will again. It doesn’t matter whether the public is in agreement with the totalitarian lockdowns or not, the ruling classes of the planet don’t give a damn and will take your freedom at will.
Do not assume we are out of the woods yet. Please prepare. That’s all the best advice I have right now. There is no way to say what’s coming down the pike for us, but one thing for sure is that it is not going to be for our good.
