Hunter Biden's Secret Laptop: Joe Biden's Influence-Peddling Scandal Meets Media Silence

It’s a big scandal story on Fox News but The New York Times greets the revelations on Hunter Biden’s laptop hard drive — supporting accusations of Joe Biden’s foreign influence-peddling while vice president — with media silence, as if they were protecting a national security secret just days before the U.S. presidential election.

My position…. I guess, since no one has responded to my request for dialogue I can only assume that there is not a whole lot of interest in the question… HOW DO WE RESPOND…. if there is no spine left in the American body politic, than apparently I’ll die alone no the hill defending the dying embers of what was once a great Republic….. WWG1WGA.

So… I shall repeat my initial post…. I would like to engage in a discussion as to what happens after the election (a) Trump wins or (b) Biden wins…. I AM NOT ADDRESSING POLICY DIFFERENCES…. what will be the sociological repercussions…. we have already been advised by the Left that they will not concede to a Trump Victory and they will take it to the streets… my question is HOW DO WE RESPOND.

Yet again in the middle of composing a post my feed was dropped… I can only assume that the AI algos are monitoring your site… I shall begin again…. to verify I will repeat my effort on my next post.

Are the American people capable of being outraged? We have been fed a steady stream of debauchery for at least the last 30 years…. it’s subliminal… it’s blatant in your face… they sexualize our children they seduce us with clever pornographic advertising, they push the pursuit of self gratification over moral values and they attempt to sell their aberrant behavior as normal…. THEY ARE NOT NORMAL… THEY ARE THE ABERRATION…. IF WE DO NOT CONFRONT AND CONDEMN THEM THEN IT IS ON US… FOR WE LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT.

There is such a thing as overdose, and I believe that Americans suffer from outrage overdose.

I hope that we are not up against an election to determine all others…Because the thieves will likely steal this one. I said it. I don’t like it but I believe it.

I was thinking the same thing. I’d ask Scott, but he’s actually got a real job, so no reason to bother him at work. Bill….Bill….? (Mueller….Mueller?)

So clearly we are reading too much into these emails. The “Big Guy” is clearly a reference to God and Hunter is noting that 50% of whatever they grift earn is being donated to the Church. What a sterling example the Biden’s set. 😉

Thanks, I try. My wife says I think I am funny. My daughter says I am just snarky.

Well, if that is the case, then Joe is guilty of violating the US Constitution’s “Separation of Church and State” clause. That makes all of the proceeds subject to confiscation since they spawned from connections Hunter made using his father’s name and position within the federal government.

The claim that the evidence on the hard drives in question is a “Russian disinformation operation” is ludicrous because…

The information on those hard drives is supporting evidence, not stand-alone evidence.

Did the Russians make Joe brag in front of a camera about coercing the dismissal of the Prosecutor who was homing in on (NOT “honing” in on, “honing” is a word for blade sharpening. It’s “homing” as in “homing pigeon” or “homing missile”.) the prosecution of Burisma Energy of Ukraine that was a cash cow for the Biden Crime Enterprise?

Did the Russians arrange the $1.5 billion deal that Hunter Biden made with the Bank of China?

Did the Russians contrive to place corroborating evidence on the hard drive(s) of Hunter Biden’s business partner that were entered into evidence against one of his “business partners” and were material in getting a criminal conviction thereby?

If so those pesky Russians are mighty powerful folks and I know enough about them to be highly skeptical that they have God-like powers.

When we put all the evidence available together it paints a picture of Hunter Biden being Joe Biden’s front man and bag man.

This is how an actual prosecution works, by painting and interpreting the picture presented through multiple sources of evidence.

The Biden’s have got some ‘splainin’ to do, Lucy.

“The Biden’s have got some ‘splainin’ to do, Lucy.”
Only if anyone asks them for an explanation. And then if they do, they have a playbook and we have all seen this movie before.
Deny, Delay, Move on that was a long time ago. Or more bluntly…What difference at this point does it make?
He only has to make it a two more weeks.
I am of the opinion that if enough votes materialize in WI / PA / FL / NC to elect Biden, the stroke happens on Jan 26th. But, I watched the movie Dave a couple weeks ago. It could be influencing me a tad. Maybe he makes it to Groundhog’s Day.

I don’t think the computer shop owner that turned the computer over to the FBI was frustrated that he hadn’t seen anything develop from that evidence. I think that he was rightfully in fear of his life.

If he turned over evidence that should have hit the news because it was so damning to a political party and after many months never heard a peep about it, he would not be totally unreasonable in thinking that the evidence had “disappeared” and that means that anyone who possessed that evidence and could testify to its existence might also be “disappeared”.

Stranger things have happened. Stranger things most certainly will happen again. I don’t want to be one of the people that strange things happen to so that’s all I’ll say on a public forum.

“Provenance” in terms of evidence is called “chain of custody of evidence”, just to say something that adds nothing to the understanding of the viewers …

Hey Scott, that lapel mic (that you have clipped to your tie) is picking up every movement you make. The sound is a deep, variable base. You need to either cut the lower frequencies out of your input recording (which would be a shame because we would lose some of that masculine baritone in your voice) or …

Get a different microphone. 🙂

There is more credible evidence being ignored by the main street media over Joe and Hunter Biden than there was during the Kavanaugh hearings when EVERY ALLEGATION was front page news for days.

I hate to contradict you Bill, but this story has been lurking just under the surface for a long time now, as I first got wind of it, or at least a faint breeze, the better part of a year ago, or possibly longer. There is also the CFR video that is several years old, of Joe bragging about using as V.P. what can only be described as a “Quid Pro Quo” of withholding funding (a charge that was tried to be used in impeachment against Trump), against then President of the Ukraine to get the State Prosecutor fired, who was just opening an investigation into Barisma. That has been out there for a long time now, though I’d be surprised if the video hasn’t been taken down. BTW, it is clear from what was said that Obummer was in on that QPQ at the time!Clearly another smoking gun not followed up to a logical conclusion. I’ll see if I can find that video for you …. See it here starting at about 51:40 …. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0_AqpdwqK4

Yes. But the Democrat procedure is to let horrible news smolder along at a slow burn, then start simply dismissing it as old news. The hard drive throws gasoline on that smoldering fire. Twitter, Facebook and the NYT, a former newspaper, are trying to deny it oxygen.

It has been nearly four hours since I watched this video, and YouTube continues to suppress it from my subscription feeds. The censorship is a reality, and Scott and Bill have hit a nerve with this one. Keep it up gentlemen.

I see it on the Bill Whittle channel page on YouTube. I wonder for how long…

EDIT: It’s not on my “Subscriptions” page, but that happens regularly with Bill’s videos.

This screen shot shows that, as of this comment, my subscription page was updated 4 minutes ago. I realize that BW videos are often delayed, but it is usually only an hour or two for me. This was delayed nearly six hours. This meets the definition of shadow banning, which I find reprehensible and cowardly.

I routinely get my notifications from YT several days after I have already viewed the video. Blue Collar Logic is the same way. The only reason I don’t unsubscribe the YT is so that it doesn’t reduce the number of subscribers showing.

Yeah, I’m subscribed to Bill’s channel on YouTube also. I watch the videos here as a member but I keep my subscription there too.

Here’s an idea. If the videos come out later on YT by direct influence of YT …and correct me if I’m wrong but the videos on here are available in front of the paywall (not blogs or Backstage, which I love btw) then we should all be going to YouTube and pointing that out in the comments — Which will hopefully drive some membership this way?

That is a good point. Though I will say I almost never read the comments on YT videos. Anytime I have, I feel the need for a shower.

I kind of like getting into the “cesspool of social media” as Scott Ott puts it. I enjoy a good fight.

And in all of the rush to explore the Biden side of the story, let us not forget that a certain Hawaiian occupant of the White House selected Joe Biden as his VP, thus bringing Joe Biden to near the top of the potential set of candidates for president. Without that push, JB would not be where he is today. He might still be in his basement, but not in front of any cameras. And Jim Clyburn has a lot to answer for in his role in the SC primary, as well. Plus we can only surmise what kind of behind the scenes conversations were held among the Democrat candidates and other cognoscenti.

Photo of the smoking gun:
1) where there is smoke there is fire;
2) Shots fired! Shots Fired! Nation down! Nation down!

My understanding is that the internet consists of the nodes, or servers and related SW available from various content suppliers (including BWDC, as well as the NYT, et al.), and the links, or the telecommunications services provided by AT&T, et al. As long as the telecommunications side stays politically neutral and cost effective, we should be able to eventually develop and support enough nodes of our own to keep the truthful messages flowing.
[If someone here understands it differently (and better), I welcome their clarification and correction of my statement.]

The structure of the internet is both more complicated and more simple than that. Complicated, in that almost none of all the content providers like the NYT actually host their content on their own servers at their own locations but instead contract the hosting out to companies specializing in that service. So it doesn’t make sense to talk about, for example, NYT servers as opposed to NYT content, which isn’t hardware but data that resides on some hardware somewhere. Simple, in that, as usual, those hosting companies have come to consist of a few very large companies like AWS (Amazon Web Services) and others, so it’s not especially difficult to determine which companies own the hardware that does the actual data storage. (It is, however, fairly difficult to physically eliminate the data because, unless it’s a mind-numbingly incompetent company, the data resides in multiple copies in multiple locations.)
The physical network, i.e. the “links” you mention, is also dispersed and redundant, so it’s far from easy to disrupt communications. This goes back to pre-internet days, when the old Bell Telephone discovered the danger to reliability in having, in effect, just one wire connecting locations. This led to redundancy and eventually to automated route switching to not only prevent downtime but to balance the bandwidth load.
All of that has to do with the physical portion of the internet (including the software specifically designed to run the hardware and the data on and running through the hardware). The political portion suffers from all the problems being discussed here, a monstrous can of worms as we all know.

The Internet as we know it today emerged from the old ARPANET (1966), which was designed as a distributed communication system that could sustain operation during partial destruction, such as by nuclear war. However, it has been corrupted in a way that funnels much of the data through systems controlled by a small collection of large corporations. The relatively new block chain technology is one method of regaining control of data within the hands of its owners.

Yup, that’s exactly correct. So –(Digging around in my humidor to find a good “posting cigar” and selecting an AJ Fernandez Nicaraguan Series half corona to go with my coffee break …)

I’ll add that for purposes of answering George Walther’s question there are actually three basic systems that all interact to make “The Internet” work:

  1. There’s the internet itself. This is a system of physical infrastructure and software protocols developed by DARPA (called the “ARPANET”) in 1969 to allow rapid and redundant communications across a computerized network. This was both proof of concept and the origins of packet switching computer networks and those protocols are still used today, albeit with substantial improvement and modifications. America actually invented “The Internet” but …
  2. There’s the World Wide Web which was developed in 1989 at CERN by Tim Berners-Lee which “was originally conceived and developed to meet the demand for automated information-sharing between scientists in universities and institutes around the world” (Citation: CERN Home). Mr. Berners-Lee did not actually envision what the World Wide Web would become but his work made it possible because it was designed as a wholly open access system which soon became used by much, much more than just universities and institutions. I recall it being a big deal in the early 90’s to be able to “Surf the World Wide Web”. People wore T-Shirts at computer swap meets in the early ’90’s that said “I surf the World Wide Web” which if you think about it would be a statement so common today as to be unremarkable. And …
  3. The current modern infrastructure of what we all call “The Internet” itself. This consists of multiple “backbone” fiber optic cables and increasingly numerous satellite connections spanning the globe which feed all subsequent traffic to subsidiary subscriber networks.

Every point that handles or receives traffic on The Internet (Wide Area Network or “WAN”) or a Local Area Network (LAN) is a “node”. I.E. I have 150 nodes on my home network and there are billions of nodes on the modern World Wide Web. Thusly –

“In telecommunications networks, a node (Latin nodus, ‘knot’) is either a redistribution point or a communication endpoint. … A physical network node is an electronic device that is attached to a network, and is capable of creating, receiving, or transmitting information over a communications channel.” (Citation: Wikipedia)

The question of influence (or getting a message out) is not actually one of the gross number of total nodes but one of the shaping and driving of traffic. Which would be an even longer disseration but I think this answers George Walther’s question. I’ll be happy to discuss that if anyone has any interest in more information on this subject.

Thanks, ACTS. I knew this would be in your wheelhouse. Though I might be more jealous of the coffee break cigar than your IT knowledge.

I have two friends coming over to my office/shop/man cave election night. I’m saving a bottle of Michter’s American Whiskey for that. One of those friends is an habitual and disgusting cigar smoker like myself so I’ve saved and been aging an H. Upmann 1844 Vintage Cameroon torpedo for him.

I have a few of those “embargo” cigars aging in my humidors too but it will take more than a Republican victory to pry them out. They’ve gotten very hard to replace since my kid is no longer stationed overseas and the buddy I had pick them up once in a while no longer travels internationally..

Thanks to ACTS and others for your feedback. I had read about the 7 layer model of networks several times and each time it seemed logical but more complicated than it should have had to be. Too much of that information bounced off my neurons than successfully interacting with them.

ACTS, I suppose our overlord the Surgeon General will grant you a dispensation for a celebratory puffing session, or else maybe you can bring back the smoke filled rooms of old. Now a days it has probably been MJ smoke instead – how else to explain all of the hallucinating going on on the Left. .

I am very concerned that the influence of national network news, which we thought were done years ago, has increased because an entire generation of cable-cutters has gone back to watching that half-hour of “news” every night (or worse, PBS) instead of going to new media. That and FB are their news sources.

I also think one of the biggest mistakes “our side” ever made was that Fox News made no effort to get their own half-hour national news show onto their local affiliate broadcast stations. Most of those stations do have their own local news organizations. But instead of adding a half-hour of national news programming from Fox News, they added a half-hour of more of the same. So people will literally change the channel from the Fox local news to one of the “Big 3″‘s national news when it comes on.

Presumably there was some kind of regulation in the cable carrier laws and regs that prevented Fox from doing that. But I never heard that they ever tried to get it changed.

Had Fox News started broadcasting the first half of Brett Baier’s show twenty years ago, or even ten years ago, I think we might have a very different country.

I’ve been thinking along these lines for several weeks, so I might be repeating myself.

As disheartening as this censorship has been, it has at least accomplished the Streisand Effect in this case. And since we’re so close to the election, people might be paying attention.

Pray for a landslide so that we have a chance to fix this. I don’t think the Senate can get it done before inauguration day.

FWIW guys, Mark Levin, Jon Soloman, Dan Bongino made the move to Rumble as an additional platform for video streaming, and Parler as a Twit alternative. Those named have not removed their content but added Rumble and Parler. Why don’t you consider the same?

Darn you, Tim, now there is another source I have to follow!!?? 🙂
No promises to visit them, but i did add them to my Bookmarks drop down list. I gather right now other sources also summarize or provide alerts on “juicy” comments from Bongino, Levin, et al. so until they go away I may still rely on them.
Took a quick look at Rumble.com; seems good, presenting Fox et al. clips. One nit: on at least the Bongino top segment they did not show total display time (= approx. 60 mins), which You Tube does. Helps to decide how much time to invest in one source over another; time being our most precious commodity.

But thanks for the alternative redirection option.

Opps, the video up for display does not seem to provide total time span, but those on the right in the “queue” do.

I have sent a note to Scott about an earlier reply to Tim I had made that was being held “for review”. There may be a virus on my end, unless others are seeing something similar??
In that earlier note I mentioned visiting Rumble and seeing that their top (i.e., current) video display did not include total run time, in contrast to You Tube. Thus my 9:38 “correction”.

George and all. The rumble phone app at first would not even let you scroll through the video. Click and watch. Leave, and you’d have to start from the beginning. That was a bummer, and then someone fixed that, so now you can scroll forward or back from the phone app. The desktop version seems way more robust and functional as YT.
I’m actually enjoying Rumble.

I signed up for MeWe after Scott Ott had promoted the idea way back then…I could not get my wife and kids to switch, so MyMeWe participation languished. My family is pretty much over FB now, except for my wife who loves her Quilting and Cross stitching groups. So I’ll take another look at MeWe. Thanks Michael for the reminder! I’m pretty much going to Rumble first and Parler then Youtube. Of course BWDC is first stop before and after work! And is it me, or has Drudge gone off the rails? Maybe a story for a different thread.

I never really took to Drudge from the beginning. I still use FB for some family and groups, and I have looked at Rumble, Parler, & MeWe but haven’t used them regularly. I almost never look at Twitter any more though some years ago I was on it regularly.

I think about a year ago people started wondering if Drudge was being held hostage, had sold his site and was relaxing on a nice beach while traitors and scum were running the place, or if TDS had so thoroughly infected him that he was just a Borged/mindcrabbed automaton now.

The totally demented MSM and left of left (there is a difference?) believe to their core that if a topic is not discussed it will cease to exist. Then, if that doesn’t work, they will call it a different name. Then, if that doesn’t work, they will change the definitions of critical words. Then, if that doesn’t work, they call everyone who disagrees with them very bad names. Then if that doesn’t work, they will riot, pillage, burn, and beat nearly to death anyone in their way.

None of this works, none of this has ever worked, and, no matter how hard “they” try, it will never work *IN THE LONG RUN*. However, all they need to do is get by with it until they steal the next election. Then wham!!!! it is totalitarian control of everyone and endless mother may I for everyone.

Those who don’t agree with this will be shipped to “retraining camps” and brain washed. Freedom will be lost and modern technological civilization will cease to exist. With that ceasing, mankind will go extinct. Which was their goal from the get go.

If you want this, you are my very personal enemy. If not, fight by my side to correct this total madness.

“If you want this, you are my very personal enemy.”

So very many people who are nominally my friends have no idea that, if they show up at my door once the civil war starts, they will immediately be … defended against.

This is a perfect example of The Streisand Effect. I thought that if the media had simply ignored the story, yet another story of corruption from Quid Pro Joe & Hoover would have gotten little notice from the public. Twitter & Facebook inadvertedly accocplished what a respectable media should have done.
