Our government has engaged in many unlawful acts. Its agents lie with impunity to cover for its criminal acts (see, e.g., American Thinker articles). A common thread and purpose run through these illegal actions: the FBI (the Democrats’ Praetorian Guard) and others behave like an organized criminal cartel. The FBI, CIA, and DNI committed many crimes to secure Hillary Clinton’s presidential election. Once Trump was elected, the Cartel continued with a soft coup to unseat him.
The Cartel silenced any who would dare stand in opposition through government-directed censorship, politically based selective prosecutions, entrapment, lying, the unlawful use of force under the color of authority, obstruction of justice, by the subversion of the rule of law and equal justice, by flagrant violating the civil rights of the people, and the defilement of the US Constitution – an ongoing criminal enterprise as defined in Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).
Trump is an existential threat to the Cartel as was Rich, if he was the DNC leaker. Rich could expose the Russian collusion narrative as false before the 2016 election. With the DOJ, the FBI, and the CIA going rogue and full Stasi, it is easier to believe that Rich was assassinated. A complete and thorough investigation is essential, one that follows the evidence wherever it leads.
President Biden’s policy reversals are deadly to the United States’ strategic interests. Joe Biden is the real Manchurian Candidate. This Cartle includes the Clinton and Biden crime families running pay-to-play schemes, with foreign and domestic actors working together for their self-interested purposes and aided abetted by the Marxist Left, Totalitarian, and Globalist ideologies that directly threaten the constitutional republic of the United States.

scrap the fbi and cia. open the FDLE, federal dept of law enforcement and recruit members with military in their resume with combat a plus. The oss was useful in 1943. the cia was useful in 1950. the fbi was useful in the 1930's.

Because Seth Rich leaked the DNC emails to Wikileaks? It's not hard to understand.
The leaker then gets a "mugging" in which he is shot twice in the back but nothing is stolen. The assassin policed his brass before leaving the scene. But didn't take his wallet, watch, phone which is what a "mugger" would be after. Then the FBI seizes his laptop, which is an odd choice for a random street crime.
#4
Crucial to the Seth Rich story is the failure of the EFFBEYE to ever actually do a forensic analysis of the DNC server. CROWDSTRIKE did the analysis and a pliant Bureau said it was satisfied. After the election, the President of the company admitted there was no proof of a Russian hack! Subsequent timeline analysis further showed data transfer rates made a hack of that size over that compressed timeline impossible. It had to be a manual data download, and Seth had access and motive.
Clintonian motive to silence the guy was overwhelming, her yearning to be the President was literally maniacal!
#5
Shortly after Seth Rich was shot, he was taken to a hospital and treated by an emergeny ward physician. That physician reported that Rich would probably survive, and Rich was sent to a privte room in the hospital.
According to that emergency physician, police of some kind soon arrived and took over the Rich's room, not allowing any physician or nurse to see or treat him. By morning Rich had died from loss of blood.
All this was reported in the press, before it was even known who the victim was. No mention of this peculiar report ever occurred later. Could this be true?

Whee! This is what proper fact checking looks like.
[REGNUM] Some mystical stories begin in Moscow at the Patriarchal, and some begin on one August Tuesday in the capital of Mexico, when journalist and ufologist Jaime Mossan met with a deputy of the ruling MORENA party Sergio Gutierrez.
After this, the public learned that in September the Congress would hold its first hearings on the analysis and phenomenon of anomalous aerial phenomena - in particular, UFOs.

In the summer of 1940, newspapers and posters were full of the call: “Komsomol - get on the plane!” Eleven Komsomol members were selected to study at the flight school at the Mytishchi Carriage Plant. Ivan Lezzhov was among them. Training began at the Tambov Civil Air Fleet Flight School, which was soon transformed into an Air Force pilot school. It was here that the war found cadet Lezzhov.
Ivan spent several months trying to be sent to the front, but he was one of ten cadets sent near Ufa to form reconnaissance flight crews. Private Lezzhov was appointed commander of one of the crews.
Training flights began. At the end of 1942, a number of crews, including Lezzhov's crew, were relocated to Stalingrad. Reconnaissance missions began. Next - relocation to the Chkalovsky airfield, where the 4th Separate Long-range Reconnaissance Air Regiment of the Supreme High Command Headquarters was formed.
Reconnaissance crews almost always took off for combat missions from operational airfields 20–50 km from the front line in order to fully refuel the aircraft to increase the reconnaissance flight range. It should be noted that in order to reduce the weight of the aircraft to increase the range and altitude of its flight, all armor protection was removed from it. Two unprotected gas tanks were suspended between the engines and the fuselage. These gas tanks looked like powerful bombs and held more than 200 liters each.
The front line flight for long-range reconnaissance was carried out at an altitude of at least 6,500–7,000 meters. To do this, they had to build a broken route over their territory in order to gain such height to the front line. At the same time, the plane flying at high altitude was sometimes hit not only by enemy anti-aircraft weapons, but also by our own.
I.I. Lezzhov recalled: “When analyzing the entire number of my reconnaissance sorties during the war, it turned out that when flying along the reconnaissance route, we were equally fired upon by both our and German anti-aircraft guns. It should be recalled that in long-range reconnaissance aviation, a combat sortie was counted for the crew only if the specified objects were photographed. There are no photographs - the flight is considered not a combat flight, but a weather reconnaissance flight.”
By the summer of 1943, the situation on the Kursk Bulge was heating up all the time. The General Staff constantly demanded new data on the location and concentration of enemy troops. Each crew of the operational group, which included Lezzhov’s crew, had to carry out at least two reconnaissance sorties daily in the direction of Kharkov - Poltava - Kiev - Gomel - Bobruisk - Mogilev - Orsha - Smolensk.
At this time, German aircraft began a systematic bombing of Kursk. The Kursk railway junction, which became the main distribution point for the arrival of front-line troops, was especially hard hit. Sometimes the crews of the task force, taking advantage of the situation, lined up behind the departing columns of long-range German bombers to identify and photograph their landing airfields.
The situation on the Kursk Bulge became more and more aggravated every day. Enemy aircraft increased the number of sorties to bomb the city and the Kursk railway junction. In the air there is an almost constant carousel of a large number of enemy aircraft and our fighter aircraft at the same time.
On the night of July 7, Lezzhov’s crew was informed of an urgent mission from the Supreme Command Headquarters of extreme importance. The telegram received by the command of the task force said:
“Immediately send a crew with the task of detecting the presence and direction of advance of a German reserve division from Kharkov. If detected, immediately report from the air and confirm with photography.”
The shooting had to be done at night, and to fly on an unfamiliar type of aircraft. The crew was personally escorted by the regiment commander. After taxiing to the runway, the thought flashed through Lezzhov’s head: “Seeing off is like a last journey.”
Occupied Belgorod met the reconnaissance plane with anti-aircraft fire. On the railway, two trains with locomotive smoke were visible. They walked towards the front. It was impossible to take photographs due to the strong near-Earth haze.
Lezzhov: “We go to Khar'kov to the right of the railway and find five more enemy echelons. Khar'kov also met with anti-aircraft fire. We turn to the right, make a small loop so that the haze dissipating towards sunrise makes it possible to photograph the heavily loaded trains heading towards Belgorod. On our way back to Khar'kov we were again fired upon by anti-aircraft guns. Turn left - and below us there is a railway, parallel to it there is a highway, on which solid columns of Nazi troops are visible, also moving in the direction of Belgorod.
The camera is turned on. Filming in progress. I make small turns only by gliding the plane, so that the photographed object (both roads - railway and road) does not leave the shooting frame. From a height of 7,000 meters, almost the entire situation below us began to be visible. We broadcast in clear text on the radio: “Seven enemy railway echelons are on the move from Kharkov to Belgorod, large columns of troops are moving along the highway and parallel country roads.” We repeat twice."
The command post of the task force informs that the scouts' message has been delivered.
Belgorod again greets the crew with powerful anti-aircraft fire. Suddenly the fire stops. And suddenly, from the direction of the rising sun, a pair of Focke-Wulfs rush by, firing machine guns. Next are two more pairs of Fokkers...
Lezzhov's burning gliding plane hit the top of the hill going down to the Psel River. The explosion tore off the right burning engine along with the wing. The remains of the plane with the smoking left engine slid down the hillside past the tents of the medical battalion and froze at the water's edge.
The regimental doctor and technician found a cassette with the film in good condition on the plane. They removed the pilot’s crumpled armored back and loaded him into the car along with the wounded. On the same day, Lezzhov and the navigator were brought to Kursk to a front-line hospital. The next day they were taken by Li-2 plane to the aviation hospital in Sokolniki. Li-2 being a lend-lease C-47 Skytrain
There, where at the same time Stalin’s son Vasily was recovering from an injury, Lezzhov and his navigator were visited by the head of the Air Force intelligence department and presented both with the Order of the Red Banner. He expressed personal gratitude for the discovery of the advance of the German division from Kharkov to Oboyan.
The initial version of the medical report put an end to Lezzhov’s ability to return to aviation. But thanks to his personal persistence and fortitude, the attentive attitude of doctors and the support of fellow soldiers, the conclusion was adjusted.
The course of treatment at the sanatorium ended in early September. The pilot was given leave for five days. The appearance of Ivan Lezzhov in his parents’ house in Kashira was like his appearance from the other world. Crying, screaming... Mom fainted... Women and children from neighboring houses came running to the screams.
When everyone had calmed down a little, one of the relatives took a piece of paper out of a cardboard box and handed it to Ivan. This was a funeral message for him, sent from the regimental headquarters from the Chkalovsky airfield on July 8, 1943: “Your son I.I. Lezzhov died the death of the brave...” Then the hero learned that his father, having worked hard at work for the front, died in 1942.
Upon returning to the regiment, the combat work of long-range reconnaissance officer Lezzhov resumed, but on new types of aircraft - American Kingcobra fighters. In difficult weather conditions, reconnaissance pairs (leader and wingman) had to carry out missions several times a day at altitudes ranging from low level flight to 3,000 to 5,000 meters, while being exposed to anti-aircraft gun fire. One of the Soviet cosmonauts I exchanged mail with back in 1990 flew the P-39. Aircobra. The Kingcobra was a later bird.
In the summer of 1944, Lezzhov was nominated for the title of Hero of the Soviet Union (in 1943, by order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief I.V. Stalin, it was established that the Hero of the Soviet Union was awarded to a long-range reconnaissance crew that completed 70 effective combat missions).
By that time, Lezzhov had more than 100 such sorties. But, apparently, he was reminded of a Soviet fighter shot down near Moscow in 1941 by mistake. As a result, he was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War, 1st degree. Previously, Lezzhov was twice awarded the Order of the Red Banner.
By the beginning of 1945, I.I. Lezzhov flew more than 190 reconnaissance missions. The Sandomierz-Silesian offensive operation of the troops of the 1st Ukrainian Front began on the morning of January 12. An order came over the radio from the front intelligence department: “Lezzhov personally and his wingman immediately take off under any weather conditions. Conduct on enemy territory a reconnaissance of the highways approaching the Sandomierz bridgehead...”
Continuous cloud cover 10–20 meters high above the hills and visibility of less than a thousand meters excluded the possibility of a departure. Lezzhov’s report that there was no weather and it was impossible to take off was followed by a menacing shout: “Take off immediately.” As it turned out later, information was received at the front command post: a column of more than 70 enemy tanks was approaching the area where our troops had broken through.
After takeoff, the flight passed over the treetops. The altitude was so low that the pair flew among the fiery tracks of the artillery preparation of their troops. Rounding the next hill, Lezzhov discovered on the highway, densely lined with trees on both sides, part of a column of enemy vehicles with unloading infantry.
In the process of flying over the entire column at low level, Lezzhov established its number - more than 70 vehicles. Having conveyed in plain text to the front command post that a column of vehicles without tanks had been discovered and received gratitude in response, Lezzhov continued reconnaissance of highways from the west and southwest. He reported to the front command post that no columns of enemy tanks were detected moving towards the bridgehead from these directions.
In January 1945, during the Vistula-Oder offensive operation, the operational group of the Supreme High Command Headquarters was given the task of area photographing Berlin. The flight crew was informed that there were eight air defense towers in Berlin. Each tower is 6–8 floors high, on the floors there are balconies with Oerlikon anti-aircraft crews. On the upper platform there are two 105mm anti-aircraft guns with a firing range at an altitude of about 8,000 meters. FLAK 38 105mm
The first crew on a Pe-2 plane, while photographing Berlin, was shot down and fell in the outskirts of the city. The second crew took photographs, but upon returning, already over the front line, it was shot down by enemy fighters, fell and exploded on our territory. Given the tragic experience of the two crews, Lezzhov, together with his wingman, was ordered to go around Berlin to the south, gain maximum altitude and photograph the city and its surroundings.
While carrying out the mission, the planes came under fire from German guns, however, the photography was successfully completed. The pilots accelerated the planes to maximum speed with a loss of altitude, thereby escaping the attack of German fighters flying out to intercept them, and landed safely at their airfield.
By the beginning of March 1945, the troops of the 1st Ukrainian Front went on the defensive at the line of the Neisse River and were preparing for an attack on Berlin. The task force continued to conduct reconnaissance deep within the enemy forces. Combat sorties were carried out deep into enemy territory right up to the borders of France and Holland. Particular attention was paid to reconnaissance of the transfer of German troops to Berlin from the western front.
The flight crew of long-range reconnaissance aircraft, who constantly carried out reconnaissance missions at an altitude of 6–9 thousand meters, where the temperature at any time of the year fluctuated between minus 40–50 degrees, in addition to underwear, tunic and trousers, always wore a woolen sweater and fur overalls. He wore untya (fur stockings) and fur high boots over ordinary socks. A woolen balaclava was put on the head under the fur helmet.
On the morning of May 9, representatives of the front intelligence department installed a special radio station on Lezzhov’s plane. Task: at the moment of the meeting in the center of Prague, the advanced units of the 1st, 2nd and 4th Ukrainian Fronts, inform the whole world about this.
At an altitude of about 3,000 meters above the capital of Czechoslovakia, Lezzov and his comrades formed a stretched circle and began to carefully observe the advance of Soviet tanks along the streets of Prague from the north and southeast. At the moment when the tank columns moving perpendicular to each other met, I.I. Lezzhov turned on a special radio station installed on his plane and for more than 45 minutes, circling over Prague, broadcast in a clear and joyful voice: “Listen everyone, the 1st and 2nd Ukrainian Fronts have united in Prague!”
But the Great Patriotic War did not end there for military aerial reconnaissance officers. At this time, several columns of German troops broke out of the encirclement west of Prague and quickly moved into the American zone. On May 11, during a combat mission, heavy fire from Oerlikons was suddenly opened on reconnaissance aircraft. One of the bursts pierced the end part of the right wing of Lezzhov’s plane. Despite the damage received by the plane, the crew landed safely at the home airfield.
It was on that day that the Great Patriotic War ended for Ivan Ivanovich. During it, he flew 238 combat missions for long-range reconnaissance. During this time, Lezzhov’s regiment, while conducting reconnaissance of enemy targets, lost 112 flight personnel and 91 aircraft.
On June 24, 1945, the famous Victory Parade took place on Red Square. Among its participants are two of the best pilots of the 98th ogdrap: senior lieutenant Luzgin and captain Lezzhov. 55 years later, Aviation Major General Lezzhov again found himself at the Victory Parade on Red Square. Now he commanded a combined regiment of veterans of the 1st Ukrainian Front.
The long-range aerial reconnaissance ace was nominated three times for the title of Hero of the Soviet Union during the war. But the ideas remained unrealized. And only on June 29, 1945, he was deservedly awarded this high title.
[American Thinker] President Biden is trying to explain Bidenomics. I will help him out a bit here with a summary. Economics is a challenging field of study, and I hope this may help you explain Bidenomics to people who are asking about it.
What is Bidenomics?
Simply put, Bidenomics is borrowing trillions from China, to spend on a green new deal and to enrich China and its U.S. and international supporters. As part of this green new deal, cut off as much oil and gas production in the U.S. as possible to drive prices higher.
In addition, part of the green new deal is to enact a host of regulations on everything, including alcohol, beer, cars, ceiling fans, fertilizer, gas stoves, lawnmowers, light bulbs, plastics, vaccinations, etc. Essentially regulate for the American people everything from alcohol to zoos.
And, as they are spending and splitting trillions and they have raised prices on everything, they have put a few programs together that might save the American people millions. Remember, trillions for them, millions for the rest of us.
Open the border, and allow millions of illegal aliens into the country to supply cheap labor.
Stigmatize white Americans into unemployment just for being white.
How much might Bidenomics cost?
Well, we now have estimates on the record that the cabal pushing the green new deal are estimating $50—70 trillion in new spending over 10—15 years. China stands to benefit both with the expansion of China's green new deal products and with the interest on the debt taken out to pay for the forced transition. This video with Senator Kennedy and a DOE "expert" is telling about what the supposed expert won't answer.
[International Man] Weekends and holidays are the perfect time to catch people off guard...
Like a street thug committing a mugging, capital controls blindside most people—otherwise, they wouldn’t be effective.
The government declares a surprise bank holiday and shuts all the banks—mere hours after they denied they were even thinking about such actions.
They impose capital controls to stop citizens from taking their money out of the country.
Cash-sniffing dogs, which make drug-sniffing dogs look friendly, show up at airports and border crossings.
At this point, your savings are like a lobster in a trap. It’s not hard to see what comes next...
Once a desperate government has your money within its reach, it’ll find a way to take as much of it as possible.
Don’t be surprised if your local currency suffers a massive devaluation, bank deposits are suddenly worth a fraction of what they were just yesterday, or the government imposes an emergency tax.
Whatever the method or pretext, the outcome is always the same: a wealth transfer from you to the government.
This familiar story has played out in many countries in recent years. The pattern is clear and should surprise no one the next time it happens.
It’s all but certain governments in financial trouble will turn to capital controls as a desperate, misguided solution—with devastating consequences for ordinary people.
Argentina, Lebanon, Venezuela, Iceland, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, China, India, South Korea, and governments in countless other countries have recently imposed capital.
The lesson from these examples is capital controls can happen anywhere and anytime.
Although it seems unthinkable to most, there is an excellent chance capital controls are coming to the US—they’ve happened before and could happen again soon.
Remember, in 1933, through Executive Order 6102, President Roosevelt forced Americans to exchange their gold for US dollars under penalty of 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine (or more than $242,000 in today’s debased confetti).
"Second, real estate in a foreign country is an excellent way to store significant capital abroad. Your home government won’t be able to seize it without a literal act of war."

...A dear, dear friend - known him for forty years; he's retiring today with close to five figures a month coming in for the rest of his life - is adamant that this is the one thing that not even our Native Moron Class would have the stones to try, because as much as it would hurt the people who have it to lose the people with just a few bucks in the bank would be devastated beyond any hope of recovery.
Wanna watch the cities burn? Not the BLM or Antifa riots, those would look like nursery school nap sessions compared to this. That would do it.
And I guarantee that there will be enough money left for enough people to start heading to Washington and say 'enough'.

Argentina, Lebanon, Venezuela, Iceland, Greece, Cyprus, Turkey, Russia, Ukraine, China, India, South Korea, and governments in countless other countries have recently imposed capital.
Do the people in those countries have more weapons than their armed forces?
[Daily Caller] The amount of evidence connecting Joe Biden to Hunter Biden’s business dealings is growing as Congressional investigations continue to reveal new information surrounding Hunter Biden’s engagements.
Witness testimony, emails, text messages, flights and additional evidence indicate Joe Biden was knowledgeable about Hunter Biden’s business dealings and communicated with his son’s business associates on numerous occasions.
Hunter Biden’s former business associate Devon Archer testified in July to the House Oversight Committee that Joe Biden spoke with his son’s business associates more than 20 times, including a spring 2014 dinner with Russian oligarch Elena Baturina and a spring 2015 dinner with Vadim Pozharskyi, an executive with Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings.
In addition, Archer mentioned a meeting Joe Biden had in Beijing with a Chinese business associate, whose daughter later received a college recommendation letter from then-Vice President Joe Biden.
Hunter Biden was being paid more than $80,000 per month by Burisma when the dinner with Pozharskyi took place, according to bank records released by House Oversight. Baturina wired $3.5 million to a shell company owned by Archer and Biden in February 2014, bank records show.
"Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure," Pozharskyi emailed Hunter Biden in April 2015, according to Hunter Biden’s laptop archive.
The Biden family and its associates received more than $20 million from Ukrainian, Russian, Chinese, Romanian and Kazakhstani business associates, the bank records indicate.

I listened to Bobulinski a couple of years ago. He seemed credible. It seemed like Joe was obviously lying. It went nowhere. I don’t understand what has changed.

[American Spectator] As impeachment becomes inevitable, the President's defense schemes are predictable
The strategies of saving the Biden presidency from an impeachment and a Senate trial despite overwhelming evidence of his corruption are starting to emerge.
The Family is confronted with damning evidence from the laptop, from the testimonies of Hunter’s business associates Bobulinksi and Archer, from Ukrainian oligarchs and Viktor Shokin, from IRS whistleblowers, from FBI writs, from a likely pseudonymous Biden trove of 4,000 emails to his son and associates, and from the absolute paranoia of a White House that must constantly change its narrative of denials to adjust to a growing portrait of utter corruption, bribery, and perhaps even the treason of warping U.S. policy to fit Biden family interests.
THE DEFENSE IN DEPTH
One of their strategies is to deny, then hedge, then ignore, then grow silent—and repeat the wash/rinse/spin cycle of stonewalling as many times as necessary to evade the mounting truth.
Insidiously Joe Biden has retreated from his once loud protestations that he supposedly had no idea of what Hunter and his associates were doing. Such a patently dishonest denial set the model that the President would have no compunction about lying to the American people until the evidence of his wrongdoing becomes overwhelming.
But this first line of defense did not crumble for years—only to be replaced by a second line of denial: Biden may have known of Hunter’s shenanigans, but he had no business interests with him. That was another blatant untruth.
And that additional stalling also allowed Biden to ignore the closing walls of incrimination for even more months. When these two forward lines of defense collapsed, as the Biden consortium knew they eventually would, a retreat to a third line of defense followed: yes, Joe knew, after all, of Hunter’s miscreant shakedowns; and, yes, Joe, after all, conceded that from time to time he did meet Hunter’s business associates, and upon requests made phone calls to Hunter’s clientele. But he did not profit from such knowledge and associations. Instead an upright old Joe from Scranton was playing along with the "illusion" of influence peddling: Scranton naiveté is not D.C. criminality.
Biden’s tripartite lines of defense always got shorter and shallower as evidence mounted. But so far Biden has managed to consume 31 months of his presidency through these strategic retreats. His fourth and final line of defense will likely be that he was involved, that he had rather than feigned contact, but that he did nothing other than what scores of other high-ranking politicians do who rub shoulders with would-be miscreants, sycophants, and crooks—and so did not knowingly take "loans" and "gifts" that had strings attached.
To breach this fourth defense line, House Republicans will have to break through the labyrinth of Biden paywalls and find how much money was rerouted into Biden coffers. And then they must additionally compare what came into the Biden hands with a) what the family reported on their respective income tax returns, and b) whether their various properties and lifestyles were remotely possible without such massive hidden income. And getting bank records from the Bidens will be near impossible.
#2
Joe's problem is that there was literally no product for the payments, except access and subsequent policy changes. Hard to explain the why of payments once you decipher the myriad cutouts and shell corporations.
Obama got much of his graft through a far more "credible" series of book deals, speaking engagements, the massive Netflix deal and other supposed intellectual property deliveries. Pure baloney, but at least a paper-thin veneer of credibility for the clueless faithful and fellow travelers.
#6
VDH is correct that this is a stall. Joe’s team has no intention of running him in 2024. Joe may or may not know that he is not running but trying to undermine his poll numbers is both productive and not productive.
It does cost time, but it also thwarts his puppet-master’s legislative agenda which is part of the commie plan. It does not slow or stop the same being done by the Executive branch Everyday Joe stays in office is another day that Mayorkas can continue his invasion expediting operation. It would almost be better to crush Joe for his policy rather than his corruption. The corruption is a slow walk in DC because they are all getting paid for no product. Does anyone really believe that Romney doesn’t have a similar deal with his son? Maybe not as blatant.

[BEE] WASHINGTON, DC — Amid a House impeachment inquiry and increasing questions about bribery and extortion involving Hunter Biden, the White House reminded the press that there's not any direct evidence that Hunter Biden actually exists.
"When you think about it, there's not really any conclusive proof that this 'Hunter' guy is even real," said historic, gay, black Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre to reporters. "Have any of you even seen him in person? Have you actually physically touched him? For all we know, Hunter is just a figment of the GOP's wild and fevered imaginations. It's sad, really."
The gathered journalists murmured and nodded in agreement at Jean-Pierre's excellent point.
"It's a shame we didn't start questioning the notion of this 'Hunter Biden' fiction a long time ago," said Meet The Press anchor Chuck Todd. "How could we have been so blind to the deep deception of the far-right? The whole thing was a hoax! This is an attack on democracy."
Journalists have begun to pull all their Hunter Biden stories pending further investigation into the matter. "Once we have investigated the GOP's deception around the existence of this alleged 'Hunter' character, we will update you on that story," said Jake Tapper. "Stay tuned for an update in 5 or 6 years."
At publishing time, new allegations related to Joe Biden's involvement in the corruption surfaced, leading the White House to denounce the existence of Joe Biden as a right-wing conspiracy theory.

[RIA] America was warned for a long time by smart people, their own historians. Gloomy predictions and parallels with the death of either the British or the Roman Empire, dressed in book covers, could be seen on store shelves in the United States at the dawn of the century. At first they were not particularly noticed, but then discussions on this topic became more intense. And now something new: the old professor Thomas Litsom, having read the article of his student, Taggart Murphy, sadly noted that Taggart himself was already a professor, and wrote something smart. Namely, that the decline of the American empire is more similar to the experience not of Rome or Britain, but of Spain . The world's first superpower. And it’s true: Rome or, say, China were not world empires, but regional ones. The Spaniards didn’t just conquer the whole world - but the entire future Latin America , the Philippines and part of Europe , for the first time in world history creating trade routes that encircled the entire globe. But then this structure collapsed.

RIA Novosti (Russian: РИА Новости), sometimes referred to as RIAN (РИАН) or RIA (РИА), is a Russian state-owned domestic news agency. On 9 December 2013 by a decree of Vladimir Putin it was liquidated and its assets and workforce were transferred to the newly created Rossiya Segodnya agency.[1] On 8 April 2014, RIA Novosti was registered as part of the new agency.[2]
RIA Novosti is headquartered in Moscow. The chief editor is Anna Gavrilova. (Wikipedia.org)
MIA Rossiya Segodnya (Russian: Россия сегодня, IPA: [rɐˈsʲijə sʲɪˈvodʲnʲə]; lit. 'Russia Today') is a media group owned and operated by the Russian government, created on the basis of RIA Novosti.[1][2][3][4] The group owns and operates Sputnik, RIA Novosti, inoSMI and several other entities. The head of the organisation is Dmitry Kiselyov.[5] Margarita Simonyan is the chief editor.
In February 2023 Canada sanctioned Rossiya Segodnya for being involved in Russian propaganda and spreading misinformation relating to the 2022 war in Ukraine.[30] (Wikipedia.org)
[RollingStone] FULLY ONE-THIRD OF U.S. states have election deniers in some of the highest positions overseeing elections. That’s according to a new report from States United Democracy Center highlighted by Mother Jones.
Although many election deniers lost their races in the 2022 midterms, States United, a non-partisan organization, found that a total of 23 election deniers now hold statewide office positions that give them influential oversight over elections in 17 different states. This includes seven governors, five secretaries of state, and 11 attorneys general.
In the state of Alabama, election deniers hold all three of those powerful positions. Gov. Kay Ivey has claimed the left "stole" the 2020 election from Donald Trump, and Attorney Gen. Steve Marshall has refused to acknowledge that Joe Biden was "duly" elected. Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen has perpetuated false claims of voter fraud and supported Marshall’s endorsement of a suit filed by Texas claiming widespread voting irregularities in the 2020 election.
"From inside the halls of government, these Election Deniers are using their powers to weaken free and fair elections," the center wrote in its report.
Many of these election deniers used election lies, including false claims of widespread voter fraud, to fundraise for their campaigns. Nine states have removed themselves from the Electronic Registration Information Center, which was designed to ensure the accuracy of voter rolls. Some election deniers have used their power to limit donations to fund election administration, while others have created or expanded units that prosecute election crimes, despite voter fraud being exceedingly rare. Others have denied the election more subtly, including claims that the indictments against Donald Trump are some form of election interference.
The center defined election deniers as candidates who falsely claimed Trump won in 2020 or attempted to undermine the integrity of the 2020 election, who refused to concede an election themselves or supported another candidate who refused to concede, who called on or pressured election officials not to certify results of the 2020 election or a subsequent race, or who spread election-related conspiracies and lies about 2020 or later elections.
[EPOCH] "You couldn't find a hundred people in Washington D.C. who could meaningfully talk to you about disinformation in 2014. Now, of course, there's a dozen of them in every room that you enter, because there's so much money and so much government power behind it."
Jacob Siegel is senior editor at Tablet Magazine, where he published "A Guide to Understanding the Hoax of the Century: Thirteen ways of looking at disinformation," which documents the brave new information world we find ourselves in today.
"They're claiming the right to all of it—that anything that goes through your mind is now something that needs to be policed for public safety and national security reasons," says Mr. Siegel.
In this comprehensive two-part interview, we discuss how the concept of "disinformation" became a tool of deception, in which technocratic officials manufacture consensus and wage a "counterinsurgency"-style war on truth that has, according to Mr. Siegel, deranged our public discourse.
"Whatever you think of Donald Trump, it's not democratic, by any stretch of the imagination, to lead a bureaucratic, ruling-class coup against a legitimately elected president. That may be many things, but democracy it is not," says Mr. Siegel.
We also discuss "cognitive infrastructure" and "predictive analysis"—Orwellian concepts that have now become standard articles of speech in the American official class.
"The illusion was that if only you could give the machines enough information, they could tell you what was coming next. But of course, that only works if you get rid of these silly privacy laws and these silly constitutional protections that would prevent you from feeding all the data in," says Mr. Siegel.
