Rapper and entrepreneur 50 Cent recently expressed his support for Donald Trump and seemed to indicate that everything is riding on one issue , his tax rate .
In a recent Instagram post , 50 Cent , who files his businesses under his government name Curtis Jackson , told his Instagram followers to vote for Donald Trump .
Jackson seemed to be upset by Biden ’ s proposed tax rate for the wealthy .
He took a photo of his television showing a proposed 62 % tax rate , and said that he doesn ’ t even care if Trump @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” he ’ s voting for Donald Trump anyway .
“ WHAT THE FCK !
( VOTE ForTRUMP ) IM OUT , FCK NEW YORK The KNICKS never win anyway .
I don ’ t care Trump doesn ’ t like black people 62 % are you out of ya f****** mind , ” Jackson said in the now-viral post .
As he probably expected , his post sparked outrage among a large portion of his audience and was instantly praised in conservative media .
His posts even caught the attention of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ post in support of the President after his original comments made the news .
In a later tweet , he posted a video of a Fox News segment where his comments were discussed , and he quoted one of the hosts , saying that he does not want to become “ 20 Cent.
” Christopher Bouzy , a Black CEO and the founder of Bot Sentinel , was one of the first prominent names to criticize Jackson for his remarks .
Bouzy called out Jackson as well as Kanye West and Ice Cube @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It appears that Jackson is clearly supporting Donald Trump in the election this year , but he has also been critical of the president in the past , so perhaps he is just voting for what he perceives as the lesser of two evils .
Jackson has previously attacked the president on his COVID-19 response , saying “ You wanted a reality show host as president .
Well , now you ’ re on Survivor.
” In 2017 , during an interview with US radio station Hot 97 , Jackson said that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an appearance as part of Donald Trump ’ s 2016 election campaign .
In the same interview , he went on to call Trump ’ s presidency an “ accident.
” “ They wanted to pay me $ 500,000 as part of the campaign just to make an appearance .
His presidency is an accident .
If you were a President by accident , you might do some of the things Donald Trump is doing… I think he was [ campaigning ] to build his profile for a bigger deal on television , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the interview .
It is also important to note that the initial tax figures posted by Jackson are a bit misleading , as CNBC noted these figures are based on a study that doesn ’ t include deductions or loopholes that most people take advantage of , and will only be applied to top earners .
Under Biden ’ s plan , the effective tax rate for the top 1 % would increase from 26.8 % to 39.8 % , according to the Tax Policy Center , which means that top earners @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pay effective state and federal tax rates of around 53 % , compared with the roughly 40 % they pay in effective rates today .
As of 2020 , Jackson ’ s net worth is estimated to be $ 30 million , which is a huge drop from previous years , when his net worth was declared at $ 150 million by Forbes .

Christopher Bouzy, a Black CEO and the founder of Bot Sentinel, was one of the first prominent names to criticize Jackson for his remarks. Bouzy called out Jackson as well as Kanye West and Ice Cube, and accused them of being opportunists.
Men like Kanye West, Ice Cube, and 50 Cent aren't Black leaders, they are nothing more than opportunistic puppets who would sell their own people into slavery for a profit. They offer nothing tangible to society; these men should be ignored & discarded to the dustbin of history. — Christopher Bouzy (@cbouzy) October 20, 2020
Black men who would endorse a man who disparages Black people, repeatedly disrespects Black women, and does nothing for the Black community aren't "free thinkers," they are sellouts. In 1964, Malcolm X warned us about Black sellouts; they are not a new phenomenon. https://t.co/CQHvaQvLh8 — Christopher Bouzy (@cbouzy) October 20, 2020

Update ( 1300ET ) : Elizabeth Warren just became the first high-profile Democrat to officially step forward and accuse the DoJ of not doing enough to target Google in its latest lawsuit .
In a tweet , Warren claimed that “ two things can be true ” – that Bill Barr can be a “ corrupt ” Trump crony , and that there is a “ legit ” antitrust case against Google .
In fact , the case could have “ gone further ” , Warren said .
Meanwhile , an unnamed Google exec told Bloomberg that the company will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ theories in the DoJ lawsuits .
Update ( 1130ET ) : AG William Barr released a statement about the Google suit , saying “ millions of Americans rely on the Internet and online platforms… ” and that “ competition in this industry is vitally important.
” Update ( 1030ET ) : Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen led a brief phone briefing with reporters on Tuesday where he essentially confirmed all of the reporting from this morning ’ s WSJ scoop .
Rosen added that the lawsuit accused Google of violating Sectin 2 of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that was used during Bill Clinton ’ s presidency to carry out a host of antitrust litigation , including the landmark case against Microsoft .
“ For years there had been concerns about business practices leading to unprecedented concentration in our economy , ” Rosen began , adding that the anti-trust division has been looking at Google and its anti-trust practices for more than a year now .
Rosen called Google a “ gatekeeper of the Internet ” and “ one of the wealthiest companies on the planet ” , saying it has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ practices ” that are necessary to “ enable competition ” .
If the DoJ doesn ’ t act , Rosen said , Americans could risk missing out on the next wave of companies .
If that happens , Americans may never get to see “ the next Google.
” “ We plan to continue our review of market-leading Internet tech platforms , ” he said .
Rosen added that AG Barr made the case “ a priority ” within the department .
Rosen thanked the DoJ antitrust division and the DoJ ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ their hard work on the case .
Stocks have climbed since the open , after news about the Google lawsuit hammered US futures .
As we wait for the DoJ briefing on the lawsuit , it ’ s worth noting that Sundar Pichai , CEO of Google owner Alphabet , will testify on Capitol Hill next week .
As for why Democratic states didn ’ t sign on to the antitrust suit , CNBC ’ s Ylan Mui reported – citing details in WSJ and NYT reports – that there was some resistance @ @ @ @ @ @ @ states declined to sign on , along with many Republican states , all of which are now free to bring their own charges .
A guest who appeared on CNBC following Mui ’ s report pointed out that one of the biggest differences between Google and Microsoft is that Google ’ s products are mostly free ( for end users ) and are also tremendously well-liked .
Update ( 0915ET ) : Reuters has some more details about Tuesday ’ s Google lawsuit , which the DoJ has now confirmed .

It has also settled a trio of major antitrust suits with EU antitrust chief Margrethe Vestager .
Google saw revenue of $ 162 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ GDP of the entire nation of Hungary .
This could be only the beginning for Google , as more lawsuits could be in the offing since probes by state attorneys general into Google ’ s broader businesses are underway , as well as an investigation of its broader digital advertising businesses .

The case against Google will be the first major DoJ antitrust lawsuit to take on big tech since the DoJ sued Microsoft in the late 1990s , a suit that began during the year that Google was founded in a garage in the Bay Area .
According to details @ @ @ @ @ @ @ details that have been previously outlined during leaks about the investigation when that was still ongoing – Google is being accused of maintaining its status as ‘ gatekeeper to the internet ’ via an unlawful web of exclusionary and interlocking deals that effectively shut out competitors .

These revenue-sharing agreements have allowed Google to ensure that no search competitor can challenge its dominance .
Google handles about 80 % of all Internet searches executed in the US each year .
During an interview with Sen Ted Cruz on CNBC , the senator pointed out that the lawsuit comes just a week after Twitter and Facebook worked to shut down a series of New York @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by Hunter Biden and members with his family revealing that the scope of their international influence-selling was larger than candidate Joe Biden has led the public to believe .
If Big Tech companies are going to use their monopoly power to try and silence political speech , then the government isn ’ t going to hold back , Cruz said .

In a tweet, Warren claimed that “two things can be true” – that Bill Barr can be a “corrupt” Trump crony, and that there is a “legit” antitrust case against Google. In fact, the case could have “gone further”, Warren said.
Two things can both be true: Bill Barr is a corrupt Trump crony who shouldn't be AG, and @TheJusticeDept has the power to pursue a legit antitrust suit against Google.

In what appears to be the worst news yet conerning any of the leading COVID-19 vaccine candidates, a volunteer enrolled in the trial for AstraZeneca’s COVID-19 vaccine candidate (which it’s working on with Oxford) has died.
Brazilian health authority Anvisa announced Wednesday that one of the volunteers who was participating in the study had died. The news sent the company’s ADRs to their lowest level since April, per Reuters.
AstraZeneca’s massive globe-spanning trial was put on mandatory hiatus back in September after two participants were sickened in the company’s trial in the UK, prompting authorities to close it down briefly.
However, the FDA refused to restart the trial in the US, citing vague safety-related criteria.
In a statement, a spokesperson from the University of Oxford, which is developing the vaccine with AstraZeneca, said “there have been no concerns about safety of the clinical trial” after an assessment of the case in Brazil.
BREAKING—the 28 year old who died from #COVID19 complications while volunteering in the Astrazenca vaccine trial in Brazil had been **given the PLACEBO** according to Bloomberg News. ??This is why we do trials.

OxyContin producer Purdue Pharma will plead guilty to three federal criminal charges for the role that it played in the ongoing opiate crisis .
On Wednesday , Justice Department officials said that the company will be pleading guilty as part of a settlement worth over $ 8 billion .
In the settlement , Purdue will pay $ 225 million directly to the government and will give up an additional $ 2 billion to the government through criminal asset forfeiture .
The company also faces a $ 3.54 billion criminal fine , but this money may not be collected due to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ billion in damages to cover lawsuits that victims have brought against the company .
The company will be pleading guilty to three federal charges , including conspiracy to defraud the United States and violating federal anti-kickback laws .
The company admitted to pushing doctors to prescribe more opioids than they would have otherwise .
As part of the plea deal , the company will admit it violated federal law and “ knowingly and intentionally conspired and agreed with others to aid and abet ” the dispensing of medication from doctors “ without a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ course of professional practice , ” according to a copy of the plea agreement obtained by the Associated Press .

OxyContin producer Purdue Pharma will plead guilty to three federal criminal charges for the role that it played in the ongoing opiate crisis. On Wednesday, Justice Department officials said that the company will be pleading guilty as part of a settlement worth over $8 billion.
In the settlement, Purdue will pay $225 million directly to the government and will give up an additional $2 billion to the government through criminal asset forfeiture. The company also faces a $3.54 billion criminal fine, but this money may not be collected due to bankruptcy. Purdue also owes $2.8 billion in damages to cover lawsuits that victims have brought against the company.
The company will be pleading guilty to three federal charges, including conspiracy to defraud the United States and violating federal anti-kickback laws. The company admitted to pushing doctors to prescribe more opioids than they would have otherwise.
As part of the plea deal, the company will admit it violated federal law and “knowingly and intentionally conspired and agreed with others to aid and abet” the dispensing of medication from doctors “without a legitimate medical purpose and outside the usual course of professional practice,” according to a copy of the plea agreement obtained by the Associated Press.
These charges are separate from the investigation against the Sacklers, the wealthy family that owns the company. They are still the target of an ongoing criminal investigation.
As a part of the agreement, Purdue will admit that it obstructed the Drug Enforcement Administration by reporting false and misleading information about the drug and its addictive properties.
The settlement promises to change the nature of Purdue Pharma for good, by turning it into a public benefit company, which means that it will be governed by a trust that prioritizes public health instead of profit. Furthermore, the Sackler family would not have any involvement in the new company.
In a recent letter, 38 Democratic members of Congress and other advocates wrote to Attorney General William Barr asking him to hold the company fully accountable for their actions, without cutting them any deals.
“Millions of American families impacted by the opioid epidemic are looking to you and your Department for justice. Justice for the sleepless nights spent worrying about sons and daughters trapped in the grip of substance use disorder, justice for the jobs lost and the lives ruined, and justice for the lives of loved ones lost to overdoses. If the only practical consequence of your Department’s investigation is that a handful of billionaires are made slightly less rich, we fear that the American people will lose faith in the ability of the Department to provide accountability and equal justice under the law,” the letter stated.
Purdue is the first opioid maker to plead guilty to serious criminal charges because they were the largest and most profitable, but there are many other companies in the industry who took part in the same actions, and many of those companies are currently under investigation for their involvement in the opiate epidemic.

Senate Demands Hunter Biden Turn Over “Bank Records, Wire Transfers, Account Balances & Travel Records”

Senate investigators have demanded that Hunter Biden turn over a mountain of evidence following bombshell emails and text messages which appear to show he and his business partners engaging in an international influence-peddling scheme while his father was Vice President of the United States , according to CBS News ’ Catherine Herridge – who brought receipts as usual .
“ According to recent reports that published emails allegedly from your client ’ s laptop , the Committees have identified your client as an individual involved in one or more of these business arrangements or financial transactions , ” reads a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and Chuck Grassley .
“ As part of the ongoing efforts to validate and verify the information in those emails , the Committees request that your client provide all records related to any of your client ’ s business dealings—including , but not limited , to bank records , wire transfers , account balances , gifts , business transactions , travel records—with Joe Biden , James Biden , Ye Jianming , Chi Ping Patrick Ho , Zang Jian Jun , Gongwen Dong , Mervyn Yan , Gabriel Popoviciu , or any other associates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ any other transactions related to business in Romania , China , Russia , Kazakhstan , Ukraine , Czech Republic , or any other countries.
” Biden ’ s lawyers have until Friday to comply .
Over the last week , alleged emails , text messages and compromising photographs from Hunter Biden ’ s laptop and his former business partners reveal that Joe Biden was directly involved in Hunter ’ s business dealings , and appears to have directly profited from them .
The deals span several countries , from Ukraine – where Joe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from energy giant Burisma before strong-arming the Ukrainian government into firing their chief prosecutor who was investigating the company , to China , where a top Chinese official offered the Biden family a $ 5 million “ interest-free ” loan , to Russia , where Hunter took $ 3.5 million from the former mayor of Moscow ’ s ex-wife .
Meanwhile , Former Hunter Biden business partner Tony Bobulinski – who will be at tonight ’ s debate – confirmed that an email published in the New York Post ‘ s bombshell exposé @ @ @ @ @ @ @ camp hasn ’ t disputed , and that the “ Big Guy ” described in one of those emails is none other than Joe Biden himself .
Bobulinski also says Joe Biden was lying when he said he and Hunter never discussed business dealings .
“ My name is Tony Bobulinski .
The facts set forth below are true and accurate ; they are not any form of domestic or foreign disinformation .
Any suggestion to the contrary is false and offensive .
I am the recipient of the email published seven days @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which showed a copy to Hunter Biden and Rob Walker .
That email is genuine.
’ -New York Post Bobulinski issued the statement late Wednesday , affirming that , contrary to Joe Biden ’ s claims that he never discussed business dealings with Hunter , the former Veep actually profited from his son ’ s dealings , which were undertaken with the full support of the Biden family .
Bobulinski claims cash and equity positions and 10 % stakes in dealings were set aside for “ the big guy , ” – aka @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s turning over his electronic devices and business records to the FBI ?

“As part of the ongoing efforts to validate and verify the information in those emails, the Committees request that your client provide all records related to any of your client’s business dealings—including, but not limited, to bank records, wire transfers, account balances, gifts, business transactions, travel records—with Joe Biden, James Biden, Ye Jianming, Chi Ping Patrick Ho, Zang Jian Jun, Gongwen Dong, Mervyn Yan, Gabriel Popoviciu, or any other associates regarding CEFC China Energy Co.

Less than two weeks later, on August 8, 2017, $5 million was wired from a CEFC-affiliated investment vehicle to a Delaware LLC, which spent the next year transfering nearly $4.8 million directly to Hunter Biden's firm, according to Senate investigators. https://t.co/Byyo3FNp3T pic.twitter.com/8XHHVTuFml — Sean Davis (@seanmdav) October 22, 2020

In addition to photos of Hunter with a crack pipe in his mouth and what Rudy Giuliani said are numerous pictures of young girls in compromising situations and one which is “ out-and-out pornography , ” Hunter ’ s alleged laptop , which the Biden camp hasn ’ t disputed the authenticity of , contains evidence that Joe Biden was deeply involved in Hunter ’ s international business dealings , contrary to past claims of non-involvement .
And while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ say this smells like a Russian disinformation operation – there is exactly zero evidence that it is .
Meanwhile , the Director of National Intelligence , John Ratcliffe , explicitly stated that the laptop “ is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign , ” while the FBI – which sat on the laptop evidence for a year ( which would have exonerated Trump and immediately ended the impeachment proceedings ) also said it ’ s not a Russian op .
Forget the laptop for a second .
Two ex-business partners of Hunter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ email evidence , along with formal statements , attesting to Joe Biden ’ s involvement in Hunter ’ s business dealings .
Ergo , if the Biden campaign says that the Hunter scandal is “ Russian misinformation , ” then his ex-business partners must be Russian operatives , no ?
Obviously there ’ s some 5D reverse time-machine Yahtzee going on right now…

Ahead of tonight’s presidential debate, the Biden campaign has drawn a red line in the sand on the Hunter Biden pay-for-play scandal, insisting that “If we see tonight from Donald Trump these attacks on Vice President Biden’s family, I think we need to be very, very clear that what he’s doing here is amplifying Russian misinformation.”
Biden campaign's @KBeds on debate: "If we see tonight from Donald Trump these attacks on Vice President Biden's family, I think we need to be very, very clear that what he's doing here is amplifying Russian misinformation." — Ken Thomas (@KThomasDC) October 22, 2020
To review – the undisputed contents of a laptop alleged to be Hunter Biden’s were published by the New York Post last week – after a Delaware computer repair shop owner saw troubling content on at least one laptop dropped off by Biden (who signed a work order). In addition to photos of Hunter with a crack pipe in his mouth and what Rudy Giuliani said are numerous pictures of young girls in compromising situations and one which is “out-and-out pornography,” Hunter’s alleged laptop, which the Biden camp hasn’t disputed the authenticity of, contains evidence that Joe Biden was deeply involved in Hunter’s international business dealings, contrary to past claims of non-involvement.
And while pundits and ‘former intelligence officials’ say this smells like a Russian disinformation operation – there is exactly zero evidence that it is. Meanwhile, the Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, explicitly stated that the laptop “is not part of some Russian disinformation campaign,” while the FBI – which sat on the laptop evidence for a year (which would have exonerated Trump and immediately ended the impeachment proceedings) also said it’s not a Russian op.
But wait, there’s much more…
Forget the laptop for a second. Two ex-business partners of Hunter Biden’s have released text and email evidence, along with formal statements, attesting to Joe Biden’s involvement in Hunter’s business dealings.

The next morning, on May 3, 2017, Hunter's business partner-turned-whistleblower Tony Bobulinski texted James Biden–Hunter's uncle/Joe Biden's brother–and asked him to "please thank Joe for his time" for the meeting they all had on May 2 to discuss the China business deal. pic.twitter.com/VroU19paVw — Sean Davis (@seanmdav) October 22, 2020
Ergo, if the Biden campaign says that the Hunter scandal is “Russian misinformation,” then his ex-business partners must be Russian operatives, no?

It ’ s an alarming trend we ’ ve observed before throughout the anxiety-ridden summer of rolling COVID-lockdowns and pandemic ‘ uncertainty ’ as well as the chaos of race protests and riots : Americans are stockpiling weapons and combat gear like there ’ s no tomorrow , or rather looking toward the near-term extreme unknowns coming post-election .

It’s an alarming trend we’ve observed before throughout the anxiety-ridden summer of rolling COVID-lockdowns and pandemic ‘uncertainty’ as well as the chaos of race protests and riots: Americans are stockpiling weapons and combat gear like there’s no tomorrow, or rather looking toward the near-term extreme unknowns coming post-election.
Surveying gun and tactical gear stores in cites especially across the south, for example Austin, a new report in Bloomberg finds that “Less than two weeks before Election Day, orders are rolling in. Since last year, online purchases have driven a 20-fold jump in sales of goods like the $220 CM-6M gas mask — resistant to bean-bag rounds — for Mira Safety of Austin, Texas.”
“It doesn’t matter who gets elected,” the tactical gear outlet’s founder Roman Zrazhevskiy told Bloomberg as he sees products fly off the shelves. “They think that no matter who wins, Biden or Trump, there are going to be people who are upset about the result.”
However, the Bloomberg report especially zeros in on “right wing extremism” and a new form of patriotism which sees the “survivalist look” as part of a lifestyle centering on preparation for coming political unrest. Hot sellers include high end body-armor plates costing hundreds of dollars, military grade gas masks, tactical clothing, and gun accessories like laser sights and scopes.
Noting that all across the US gun and ammo sales are surging, with record prices as well as shortages – for example some bullets for assault rifles selling for a whopping $.50 per single round – the report underscores that business is booming for these stores like never before:
A retail chain called 5.11 Tactical, which traces its roots to a friend of President Donald Trump’s adult sons, is even trying to turn the survivalist look into a fashionable national brand. It’s racking up annual sales of almost $400 million with stores in places including Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the U.S. Army’s Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas.
But the report still acknowledges the trend transcends political affiliation, or either extremes on the right or the left.
One top DHS official who served as former assistant secretary for threat prevention at the Department of Homeland said, “It’s evidence of what many people have been expressing concern about for the last six months — the stress associated with the pandemic, a frustration or anger about various government mitigation efforts and a belief that those efforts are infringing on their individual liberties.”
Gun sales have soared throughout the summer, going back to the early weeks of pandemic-related lockdowns in the Spring:

And the potential for a contested election could bring this “perfect storm” of frustrations and anxieties to the fore in some level of civil war type violence and clashes in urban settings.
While such a prospect as little as a year ago seemed far-fetched and overly conspiratorial, the experience of life in 2020 has left many more people seeing this as an actual possibility. Republished from ZeroHedge.com with permission

A few days ago , the MSM and their political allies in the Democratic Party celebrated the release of a “ compromising ” photo appearing to show former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani with his hands down his pants .
Giuliani claimed that he was merely retucking in his shirt after removing some recording equipment , but nevertheless , the whole news cycle played out in full view of the public as social media giants like Twitter and Facebook looked the other way , allowing the photo , and links to news stories covering the controversy ( orchestrated by “ Borat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ circulate widely .
However , just days later , a Chinese digital media company has published footage showing a man who looks identical to Hunter Biden engaging in a sex fetish act with an unidentifiable woman ( along with a photo purporting to show what appears to be the same man engaging in sex with a Ukrainian prostitute ) .
But instead of allowing discussion and links to the video to circulate , Twitter has scrubbed all links and photos related to the video and story , and is suspending accounts that appear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or screenshots from the footage .
Some background : Late Saturday afternoon , a mysterious link surfaced on Reddit purporting to be the vaunted Hunter Biden sex tape – or at least , one of the Hunter Biden sex tapes ( whispers about more footage have so far gone unsubstantiated ) .
In it , a naked Hunter Biden can be seen , smoking crack , and laying with an unidentified woman , possibly a prostitute .
The woman ’ s face is blurred out , making it impossible to tell whether or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The video itself was posted by a news site purporting to be an anti-CCP intelligence operation called G-TV , which is also tied to Guo Wengui , the Chinese billionaire dissident who is close to Steve Bannon ( Bannon was reportedly arrested after a visit on Guo ’ s yacht in Connecticut ) .
Interested parties can find the video here .
Footage of the sex act is preceded by footage of Guo Wengui at the national press club raging over a Chinese takeover of the US , “ 9/11 times a thousand @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to a screed slamming Western politicians who collaborate with the CCP , and warning about the dangers of American kleptocrats falling sway to CCP “ influence ” ( blackmail etc ) .
During the opening minutes if the video , Hunter can be heard complimenting the woman on her technique .
“ That ’ s so professional , ” Hunter exclaims .
“ You can ’ t even find that on there , ” he laughs as he gestures toward something off camera .
A few minutes in , the man who is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up a crack pipe .

One Twitter used even proclaimed that Hunter was really “ a victim ” of his father , Joe Biden .

A few days ago, the MSM and their political allies in the Democratic Party celebrated the release of a “compromising” photo appearing to show former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani with his hands down his pants. Giuliani claimed that he was merely retucking in his shirt after removing some recording equipment, but nevertheless, the whole news cycle played out in full view of the public as social media giants like Twitter and Facebook looked the other way, allowing the photo, and links to news stories covering the controversy (orchestrated by “Borat” prankster Sasha Baron Cohen) to circulate widely.
However, just days later, a Chinese digital media company has published footage showing a man who looks identical to Hunter Biden engaging in a sex fetish act with an unidentifiable woman (along with a photo purporting to show what appears to be the same man engaging in sex with a Ukrainian prostitute). But instead of allowing discussion and links to the video to circulate, Twitter has scrubbed all links and photos related to the video and story, and is suspending accounts that appear to be trying to spread the video or screenshots from the footage.
Some background: Late Saturday afternoon, a mysterious link surfaced on Reddit purporting to be the vaunted Hunter Biden sex tape – or at least, one of the Hunter Biden sex tapes (whispers about more footage have so far gone unsubstantiated).
In it, a naked Hunter Biden can be seen, smoking crack, and laying with an unidentified woman, possibly a prostitute. The woman’s face is blurred out, making it impossible to tell whether or not she appeared to be underage.
The video itself was posted by a news site purporting to be an anti-CCP intelligence operation called G-TV, which is also tied to Guo Wengui, the Chinese billionaire dissident who is close to Steve Bannon (Bannon was reportedly arrested after a visit on Guo’s yacht in Connecticut).
Interested parties can find the video here.
Footage of the sex act is preceded by footage of Guo Wengui at the national press club raging over a Chinese takeover of the US, “9/11 times a thousand,” he says, before transitioning to a screed slamming Western politicians who collaborate with the CCP, and warning about the dangers of American kleptocrats falling sway to CCP “influence” (blackmail etc).
During the opening minutes if the video, Hunter can be heard complimenting the woman on her technique. “That’s so professional,” Hunter exclaims. “You can’t even find that on there,” he laughs as he gestures toward something off camera.
A few minutes in, the man who is allegedly Hunter Biden can be seen firing up a crack pipe.
The reaction on Twitter was swift. Users who tried to share the link and photos were quickly blocked (even though Twitter famously allows porn and nudity). Some cracked jokes about Hunter Biden receiving what appeared to be a ‘footjob’, while shrugging off the video as simply evidence that Biden has been victimized by revenge porn.
I just watched Hunter Biden get a foot job I think — Cassandra Scarebanks? (@CassandraRules) October 24, 2020
Others focused on the statement at the beginning of the video, which also begins with footage of an unrelated event.
?This message is extremely important. Please read it. The sex tape is to prove the CCP’s BGY & their possessions of such content. Anything involving children can’t be released to public. They DO EXIST & have been verified by multiple reporters. #HunterBiden #BidenCrimeFamiily pic.twitter.com/TEcSif1L1v — Judy.Anderson?? (@JudyAnd56006226) October 24, 2020
Of course, now that actual pornographic footage of Hunter Biden has been produced, the world will stop and wonder: could these other rumors be true?

Disgusted with people sharing Hunter Biden revenge porn. What the fuck. Completely vile on its own and it obfuscates the legitimate corruption issues. Be better. Fuck! — Cernovich (@Cernovich) October 24, 2020
Others simply noted the disparity in treatment between the Hunter Biden story and the “Borat” revelations about Giuliani, and wondered aloud how Twitter might be handling this if those photos were of Donald Trump Jr., not Hunter Biden.
Of course, twitter didn’t simply ignore the Giuliani photo; the news became one of the top trending topics (thanks to the fact that Twitter’s user-base skews toward young leftists).
Everyone tweeting that Hunter Biden video is getting locked out and tweets are being disappeared Twitter also promoted a doctored video of Rudy Giuliani this week claiming it was sexual — Jack Posobiec ?? (@JackPosobiec) October 24, 2020
One Twitter used even proclaimed that Hunter was really “a victim” of his father, Joe Biden.
Just saw Hunter Biden's sex tape. DO NOT WATCH IT. It is basically a 50-year-old guy smoking crack getting a blowjob from someone who may or may not be underage. The issue isn't Hunter. The issue is the father who made him sell his influence. Hunter is a victim. — @amuse (@amuse) October 24, 2020
At any rate, the group that released the footage and the above-mentioned screenshot are promising to release more compromising material, while the MSM and Big Tech rallies to Hunter Biden’s defense.

And while the list of pink slips is allegedly much longer, Trump’s top priority is getting rid of Wray – whose FBI sat on alleged evidence of Biden corruption in Ukraine contained on Hunter Biden’s laptop (along with alleged child porn), while Trump was impeached for asking the Ukrainians to investigate exactly that.
According to Axios:

London was also the venue for a summer, 2016 meeting between former FBI agent Peter Strzok and Australian Diplomat Alexander Downer – another Clinton ally who claimed that Papadopoulos drunkenly admitted to knowledge that the Russians had Hillary Clinton’s emails.
More recently, Haspel was accused of personally blocking the release of documents exposing the Russiagate hoax. “This isn’t just a scandal about Democrat projection, this is a scandal about what was a coup planned against the incoming administration at the highest levels and I can report here tonight that these declassifications that have come out,” The Federalist‘s Sean Davis told FOX News host Tucker Carlson last month. “Those weren’t easy to get out and there are far more waiting to get out.”
