“Similarities Between Late-’80s USSR & Present-Day USA Are Uncanny…”<\/span><\/p>\n

The New Nation Pastime: Blob-Ball<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cThe similarities between the late 1980s USSR and present day USA are uncanny \u2014 the endless lies, the corruption, the hollowing out of institutions, the censorship, and the decrepit leadership that is despised by the public.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0– Dr Toby Rogers<\/em><\/p>\n

The blob ran a clever third down lawfare play deep in its own territory Thursday night,<\/strong> a sort of double-reverse statue of liberty counter-switcheroo in its game-plan to \u201csave our democracy,\u201d as it calls its agenda of suppressions, persecutions, swindles, bad trips, and mind-fucks laid on the sore-beset people of this land. Blob special prosecutor David C. Weiss finally managed to indict Hunter Biden on tax evasion charges so flagrant and obvious that all the ham sandwiches convicted for the Jan 6 \u201cinsurrection\u201d watched in awe from their prison cells.<\/p>\n

You understand, this was months after Mr. Weiss concocted a cream puff plea deal for the president\u2019s beloved son that blew up embarrassingly in the Delaware federal court when Judge Maryellen Noreika discerned a lifetime get-out-of-jail-free clause buried deep in the document,<\/strong> at about the same time that two IRS whistleblowers revealed the malfeasant incompetence of Mr. Weiss\u2019s initial five-year-long dawdling investigation that, oops, let the statute of limitations run out on many of the pending charges.<\/p>\n

That fiasco was followed by Mr. Weiss and AG Merrick Garland contradicting each other in House testimony about\u00a0who<\/em>\u00a0had investigative authority\u00a0where<\/em>\u00a0in the federal court matrix. <\/strong>And finally, the tax evasion matters landed in the Biden-friendly Los Angeles federal district, where Hunter officially lives (when not hiding out in the Lincoln bedroom), emerging from a grand jury Thursday night as a bill for three felonies and six misdemeanors.<\/p>\n

The indictment, a public document, contains some interesting particulars, such as Hunter attempting to write off as business expenses $683,212 in fees for the unspecified services of \u201cvarious women\u201d <\/strong>(much as the services rendered by Hunter\u2019s Owasco PC shell company were never specified in million-dollar legal retainer agreements made with Chinese \u201cclients\u201d). The curious can consult the website\u00a0https:\/\/bidenreport.com<\/a>, a.k.a. \u201cMacro Polo\u201d for a photographic record of Hunter B\u2019s sex trafficking capers, such as:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, buried in this hairball of sleaze is another cute dodge that will permit Hunter to take a pass on his subpoenaed closed-door deposition scheduled for December 13th\u00a0with Rep. James Comer\u2019s House Oversight Committee on the grounds that he is under indictment and would only repeat his 5th\u00a0Amendment rights ad infinitum. <\/strong>Smooth move, DOJ. While it confers a short-term field advantage to the DC blob, few will misunderstand that behind all of this procedural stagecraft is the somewhat greater matter of Hunter\u2019s dad, President \u201cJoe Biden,\u201d being a paid agent of the Chinese Communist Party (and several other entities not favorably disposed to the USA\u2019s national interests). That is: hanging over all this is the question of treason, attending the question of bribery, both being gold-standard impeachable offenses, and one them a capital crime.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That is the place to which all this rigmarole is tending, and so the pretense that \u201cJoe Biden\u201d is actually running for reelection grows more preposterous by the day. But it is just one of a thousand other things that the DC blob \u2014 i.e., our government \u2014 lies about incessantly to the peril of the people suffering its governance. What\u2019s actually happening is that \u201cJoe Biden,\u201d our\u00a0Flying Dutchman<\/em>\u00a0president, is barely clinging to office long enough to pardon his son and accomplices in the influence-peddling racket he ran<\/strong> at the center of which was \u201cJoe Biden\u2019s\u201d strangely fortuitous blobular selection as Democratic Party nominee and subsequent \u201cvictory\u201d by blatant fraud in the 2020 election. Some people knew the fix was in.<\/p>\n

The pathetic thing about the Biden family business is that for all that trouble and all those jet plane rides, and tedious dinners with men reeking of too much cologne, and all the cozying up to foreign poohbahs and kissing their hirsute asses, shlepping the family brand from one sad-sack national capital to the next: Ukraine, Turkmenistan, Romania, the Biden clan only grossed about $25-million, maximum, over many years \u2014 which is to say about equal to one year\u2019s salary-and-bonus of a mid-level shlub at the commodities desk of a hedge fund. I mean, when you consider the billions accumulated by the likes of Larry Fink at BlackRock, or Bezos at Amazon, or the obscene fortunes of the wonder boys at Google and Facebook.<\/p>\n

Side note: Senator John Kennedy, usually witty and agile, had a go at FBI Director Christopher Wray this week in a Judiciary Committee session. Mr. Kennedy asked Mr. Wray how come, in the fall of 2020, with the election on, and\u00a0The New York Post\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0scoop on the existence of a Hunter Biden laptop, and the subsequent psy-op by 51 former intel maestros saying the laptop story was Russian disinfo \u2014 Mr. Kennedy asked, \u201cWhy didn\u2019t the FBI just come out and say, hey, the laptop\u2019s real?\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Wray gave a bullshit answer<\/strong> of course\u2026 \u201can ongoing investigation, blah, blah\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

I have a better question that Senator Kennedy might put to Christopher Wray about this matter.<\/p>\n

In fact, the FBI had the Hunter Biden laptop hard-drive in its possession as early as December 2019,<\/strong> just as the first Trump impeachment trial commenced.<\/p>\n

Had they bothered at that time to examine its contents, and if not, why not?<\/p>\n

And if they had looked around inside and seen the multitudinous emails concerning Hunter Biden\u2019s business dealings with other countries, Ukraine especially, and in particular with Mykola Zlochevsky\u2019s Burisma company, why did Mr. Wray not alert President Trump\u2019s attorneys that he was in possession of possibly exculpatory evidence regarding the president\u2019s supposedly nefarious phone call to newly elected Ukraine President Zelensky that kicked off the impeachment? Huh? Just wondering.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
