Hunter’s “Laptop From Hell”
The New York Times, after ignoring the story for two years, has finally admitted that the emails obtained from Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop are real. When this story first broke in the New York Post in 2020, a concerted, effective campaign stopped the American people from finding out about the contents of Hunter’s disturbing emails, which appeared to show corruption in the Biden family through lucrative contracts given to him by our foreign enemies.
As you will recall, Hunter Biden’s “consulting work,” for exorbitant fees totaling in the millions, was with business interests in China, Russia and Ukraine, all three of which are dominating the news right now.
- In 2020, virtually every major network except Fox News refused to report on the laptop and its contents.
- Tech giants censored users who tried to post the story.
- Even Trump White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany was locked out of Twitter for trying to share the New York Post story.
- Dozens of former top U.S. security officials issued a public statement claiming that the story had all the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign. Among the signers were former CIA Director John Brennan and Michael Hayden, also a former CIA director and former director of National Intelligence.
- CNN, MSNBC and even NPR, which is supported partially by your tax dollars, regularly hid the contents of the emails while repeating the lie that intelligence experts believed it was Russian disinformation.
- After the 2020 election, a national poll showed that 10% of those who voted for Joe Biden would have voted for Trump if they had known about Hunter’s laptop.
I will make a wild guess that none of these media outlets will apologize for their spreading of disinformation. Don’t expect to see any former foreign intelligence officers who misled the American people asking for the public’s forgiveness.
Here’s one last lesson from this: If you see major media, big government and U.S. tech giants all saying a story is “fake news,” the story is very likely to be completely true.
Here’s an interesting question. Why after two years did the New York Times finally acknowledge the truthfulness of the laptop story? One possibility is the rumor that Hunter Biden could soon be indicted for tax fraud, which would likely bring the contents of the laptop to the public’s attention. This could be the New York Times trying to get ahead of the story.
