A couple of days ago, Colombian President Gustavo Petro set a standard to which American political leaders should emulate.

“I wish him luck and strength,” he tweeted after his son Nicolás was hit with charges related to money laundering and drug trafficking. “May these events strengthen his character and let him reflect on his own errors.”

Honestly, when COLOMBIA --a country famous for its political corruption at the highest levels -- is more moral and upstanding than we are, it’s hard to believe that any recovery is possible for our country.

"Anybody who tries to hang on to America's coat-tails is going to find himself up to his eyeballs in, well, deceit and corruption. This is the crookedest place on earth - and I never thought I would go that far, having been to many other countries at least south of our borders."

The thing is that rather than falling with his son, it was better to save face.

Please read and watch all of this! Your life depends on it, because there's a plan to murder 95% of the global population by 2050… written on the mason Georgia guide-stones:

- Both Churchill and Roosevelt were masons and plotted to get the reluctant USA into the war by provoking the Japs and letting Pearl Harbor (left the whole fleet defenseless and concentrated there as an easy candy to be taken from a kid, no radar warning from outer islands, etc.)

- 9-11: two "planes", yet the third tower that imploded like in a controlled demolition (WTC7) was out of reach and all 7 World Trade Center towers destroyed, not the closer towers not belonging to World Trade Center... and the owner, with his 2 grown up siblings, failed to show up for work (never skipped work before)… by the way, he took an insurance policy against terrorism, just months before, when no one was taking them.

- J6: The fake riot was mason-planned, incited and guided by FBI agents, who broke into the Capitol !!! The same mason-plot was copy-pasted to disband the insurrection against the stolen elections in Brazil! All intel agencies (CIA, FBI, NSA) were founded by masons and are run by them for their own nefarious goals.

https://scientificprogress.substack.com/p/j6-what-you-need-to-know

It's such a mason manual that they organized the same J6 play in Brazil when it was proven that the voting machines owned by mason Soros, were rigged:

- At least since the 90s, vaccines were weaponized to reduce the population, for example:

1. Adding hCG to infertilize women: lab detected in 30 countries

2. Overpassing the FDA 10 ng limit to human DNA “contamination” by 2000%, thus causing neuro-damage (autism, asperger, tics, dyslexia in 29% of kids, etc.) and childhood cancer epidemic (n.b. leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas)

If he refuses, then he’ll know who he is really serving, Satan: tell him to get out of masonry NOW. Sooner or later he’ll be required to trample on a cross to get to a higher degree.

The best way to have a real dialogue about vaccines being weaponized to handicap, infertilize and murder the “over-population” is to start with vaccine contamination: nobody could be in favor of contaminated pharmaceuticals.

1. Carcinogen SV40 in Oral Polio Vaccine: they knew it since the 60s but kept distributing it even until 2016 !!!

2. hCG in vaccines to infertilize women detected since the 90s: still going on

3. Thimerosal, aluminum, Mono-sodium Glutamate (MSG) and other NEUROTOXINS

4. Heavy metals

5. Human DNA 2000% in excess of FDA 10 ng limit (main driver towards autism, leukemia and non-Hodgkin cancer)

6. Graphene oxide in Flu and COVID shots but now with anything injectable (even dentist anesthesia, hospital IV, etc.).

7. SV40 genomic sequences and double-stranded DNA in mRNA COVID shots

8. Bluetooth nano-routers injected with COVID vaccines and inserted with swabs (which explains why they rejected the cheaper non-invasive saliva test).

Proof of criminal intent:

Points 7 and 8

Censoring and blocking 30+ COVID cures

Labeling the most lethal batches with a lethal code (howbad.info)

Blocking the real knowledge of effectiveness v. "adverse event" rate

That proves:

A. There's zero Government control

B. There's zero Manufacturer liability

C. There's zero Media coverage

D. All that, during decades and still going on, not only with vaccines but also with medicines, food&beverage additives, etc. Everything, even institutions have been weaponized!

E. There's zero political action to stop that (except RFK2 in the USA)

There's a low chance of anything changing unless people understand the urgency of:

Sasha, they started smearing Trump when he announced he was running for president. They are relentless.

To notice it then was to be a traitor and a “Trumper”. I’ve always been an Independent, but I did think a miracle happened when Trump won the presidency in 2016. Not because I voted for him, but because I was so cynical, having grown up in the 60s, having lived through Watergate, Carter (the only Dem or Republican I ever voted for, which I regret), Bush, Clinton, Bush, Clinton, Obama, each worse than the last-that I thought Hillary would be pres. whether deserving or not. She could fit the bill of worse and was next in line. For the first time in my adult life, I thought the system could actually work! I didn’t vote for Hillary or Trump, but my gut said something different just happened.

The Biden curruption is a continuation and escalation of all that came before, IMO.

Trump is an easy scapegoat, yet many think he’s a messiah.

The day after the election in 2016 I went to teach class (rock history at a community college) in the same room as a female teacher (as usual). Her personality and demeanor had changed completely.

As I approached the podium she snarled, “I just had to talk about the election for the entirety of my class.”

I replied, “Really? What subject do you teach?”

“English” she said.

Interesting, I thought. Nothing to do with English.

I started my class with , “The previous teacher said that she talked about the election for her entire class. Would you like that?” to which they simultaneously replied, “no”.

I said, “good, me either!” and laughed. They did too.

That woman never regained her, previous positive, friendly personality.

Stunning to witness. I’ve seen people have less of a reaction to a death in the family and that’s how the media framed it.

I do understand how to feel disgust and/or heartbreak at the media’s focus. They can exist simultaneously. I have to sprinkle in humor or it’s too much to take. And faith. I practice at it, not something I had most of my life. It helps. Especially when so many people don’t understand me anymore. Maybe they never did. I noticed the “cult”, as you call it, before you did, but you’re a hero to me because you speak out publicly ... and eloquently. I find you so great that I can’t wait for everything you release. I follow many people, but you are special. Thank you!

Your comment reminds me that the best teachers I had in college were in Philadelphia Community College and Delaware County Community College. Regular classes were at Drexel U and mba at St Joe’s on GI Bill. I regret I could not have signed up for your Rock History class; it sounds fun and fascinating. I grew up in 60’s also and hung with the crowd that thought the Beatles were for the Hippies and the Stones were the dangerous bad group. I still prefer the Stones, Doors, Janis. It now dawns on me; YOU SHOULD HAVE A SUBSTACK!

I'm a Stones person too. I saw them do a concert in Detroit once (Sixties or Seventies) that I will never forget. I still have a collection of most of their albums on vinyl. To their credit the Stones did a lot for the black artists they admired, getting the artists themselves in front of the crowds of mostly white kids rather than just covering their work.

I didn’t want to correct Nancy in public cuz ya know she is a Rock History teacher; but Stones were way more rockin than Beatles. 😂

I’m a musician. My opinion is based on the fact that The Beatles created ground breaking music and G Martin, production. They changed music and culture-the world! It was miraculous that they came together.

I do think about it, Lib.

Turns out the Stones were Art school guys and Beatles were street kids. The exact opposite of those images. I’m definitely Beatles before Stones.

I, too had great teachers at community college.

You give me an idea.

It seems to me that Sasha has done exactly that by combining her extensive knowledge and career in the film industry (eg founder of AwardsDaily) and a desire to address broad issues in society. Btw I didn’t know the Beatles were street and Stones artsie; doesn’t change my preference though :D. I bet something you could enlighten us on is how Rock evolved to reflect the times and shape the times. How it continues to influence music and society. The role of Rock in Vietnam war and subsequent ones. Impact on feminism. Relationship to blacks and Soul. Connection with Country. Music is such an under appreciated influence on our culture, hearts and minds. You have a great foundation to share and adding in your teaching career and experience will be awesome.

I thought the Clinton family was the most corrupt. I thought Obama was insidious, as he fought to transform our country and provoke racism every chance possible. I thought Biden was a racist, plagiarist, and a fool. Yes, I also thought he was corrupt, but no idea the level of corruption. Biden has proved to be not only corrupt, but a traitor. His greed has put our country at risk all while he kowtows to China. We have no idea the access granted to China when he allowed a balloon to cross entire country checking out military bases.

The fact that the mainstream media doesn't report on this is evident around the world. I'm in Hong Kong for a visit, most of my friends and family have asked me about the 2024 election, but none of them have heard about the Biden corruption crime, only that he's older than dirt.

Expand full comment

You should tell your friends and family in Hong Kong to follow Vivek Ramaswamy in his presidential campaign. They will learn everything they need to know about what’s killing America from him. With him in the race this presidential campaign will be carefully watched globally, especially in India where traditional values are part of Hinduism and considered sacred. This will also make it impossible for the democrats to steal the election as they boldly and blatantly did in 2020. This is one of the reasons why I believe only Vivek can be elected plus I also believe he is by far the best person for the job. In fact, ideally suited for the job.

Here is Trump op-ed in Newsweek. Very apt as usual.

“The report by Special Counsel John Durham makes clear beyond a shred of doubt that the Russia Hoax was the most atrocious weaponization of our government in American history. It was a crime like no other.

Seven years ago, I ran for office taking on all the most corrupt forces and entrenched interests in our nation’s capital. My agenda was an existential threat to a Washington establishment that got rich and powerful bleeding America dry.

I vowed to stop mass illegal immigration, terminate globalist trade deals, end the sellout of our country to Communist China, stand up to the permanent bureaucracy and the corporate media, and break the neocon addiction to endless foreign wars.

In response, an unelected cabal in the senior ranks of our government, in concert with their chosen candidate, Hillary Clinton, and their allies in the media, launched the de-facto coup attempt known as the Russia Hoax.

Their goal was to prevent my election, and failing that, to throw me out of office or sabotage my presidency, undercut my agenda in Congress, block my domestic reforms, and interfere with my foreign policy.

For nearly three years, they carried out a massive disinformation campaign and lawless persecution based on the monstrous lie that I was a traitor to my country.

These Deep State plotters spied on my campaign. They forged false evidence to get illegal surveillance warrants and smear innocent people through leaks to the media. They offered $1 million for a fictitious dossier written by a foreign spy to try to frame me with treason. They shattered countless lives.

The Durham Report proves that the key figures involved knew from the start that the Russia Collusion conspiracy theory was a lie. The FBI launched their witch hunt without a scrap of legitimate evidence—and when they came upon exonerating information time after time, they covered it up and kept the hoax going forward.

The sickness was driven from the very top. FBI Director James Comey constantly pressured agents for more surveillance and warrants, demanding to know over and over “Where is the FISA, where is the FISA?”

Barack Obama and Joe Biden were in on it, too. They were briefed in August 2016 on reports that Clinton planned to “vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by the Russian Security Services.”

They knew the truth, yet they put our country through hell.

As savage and cruel as the Russia Hoax was for me, my family, my staff, and so many innocent bystanders, the real victims were the American People.

The destruction this hoax caused to America is almost incalculable. It subverted our democracy, it threatened our security, and it endangered our freedom.

At a critical moment when we should have been reducing tensions with Russia, the Russia Hoax stoked mass hysteria that helped drive Russia straight into the arms of China.

Instead of having a better relationship with Russia as I worked to build, we now have a proxy war with Russia, fueled in part by the lingering fumes of Russiagate delirium. Ukraine has been utterly devastated. Untold numbers of people have been killed. And we could very well end up in World War III.

As the Twitter Files have proven, the Radical Left establishment also used the Russia Hoax to attack freedom of speech. They built a sprawling domestic censorship regime under the guise of combatting so-called “Russian disinformation”—which they quickly defined to include any content they did not like.

The intelligence community, the media, and the Silicon Valley tech companies then deployed this very pretext, “Russian disinformation,” to censor the Biden corruption scandal in 2020—censorship orchestrated, as we now know, by the Biden campaign.

In one poll last year, 79 percent of Americans following the story about Hunter Biden’s sordid laptop said truthful coverage of that wrongly censored story would have changed the outcome of the election. Our country is now paying a very steep price.

Perhaps most dangerous of all, the Russia Hoax normalized the weaponization of law enforcement against the Left’s political enemies. The Radical Democrats and their media partners now cheer as Biden’s DOJ demands the FBI investigate parents at school board meetings, deploys heavily armed teams to arrest pro-life activists, and pursues an all-out persecution of Joe Biden’s leading opponent for the presidency.

These corrupted agencies have interfered in every election since 2016—and they are interfering in the 2024 election before our very eyes.

There must be a reckoning. Accountability now lies in the hands of the voters. The Durham Report has made the stakes abundantly clear, and now the choice is ours: either the Deep State destroys America, or we destroy the Deep State.”

Ever consider that the dem's have more dedicated posters, but not necessarily more actual voters? There are many comment sections and a large swath of twitter that are overrun by a relatively small number of very vocal leftists. I'm sure some of them are paid and that's all they do, while a whole bunch are dedicated morons. Most of the dissenting voices are busy paying their bills and being productive members of society. I would bet far more of the people demanding living wages for little to no work are of the group hiding behind door number one.

Yep, the GOPe sucks at everything including winning. Trump got elected and then implemented(or tried to) everything the republicans campaigned on for 35 years and they kicked him out.

As soon as I went to Sasha’s article here and saw the quote by Miranda Devine at the top, “Devon Archer's testimony today is bombshell:” my first thought was that it would simply be shot down by the Woke left democrats who would call it a dud rather than a “bombshell.” We exist in an entirely different reality from these people and simply cannot communicate with them.

I saw a video of Vivek Ramaswamy recently at a Townhall meeting where he was asked what he would do on his first day as president. He said he would issue an Executive Order banning race based affirmative action. That’s exactly the opposite of what Biden did on his first day in office which was to issue an Executive Order to replace meritocracy wherever it can be found with Equity aka Equal Outcomes. This actually highlighted the profound difference between the Woke vs the nonWoke in our society. In effect, the democrats are fighting for race based socialism aka “Woke Marxism!” as Dave Rubin quite appropriately calls it.

I just reread 1984. Never before have I felt so close to that being our actual reality. Why is it no one in Washington uses the term TREASON? They use all the other words but never treason. One thing I know for sure, if they'd charge this family with treason and follow the punishment for it- this won't happen again, at least, not for a very, very long time.

That is the problem, though, as I see it. It's hard to get used to thinking this way, but there is a ruling class that holds most of the power in this country and also hangs with aristocrats and wealthy crooks in Europe and Russia. When the truckers were protesting in Canada, Trudeau just called Biden and Biden offered him help towing the truckers' trucks to break up the protest. After Musk bought Twitter and the leftists were going crazy with rage and grief, I read somewhere that Hilary Clinton had reached out to her friends in the European Union to pow wow with them about their restrictions on free speech on the internet, and how their laws could be used to restrict speech on Twitter.

CNN had an article (https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/31/politics/trump-legal-bills-what-matters/index.html) about how every charge just increases Trump's power. They can't seem to wrap their heads around it. But *this* is the reason why. People are angry. They know about this, and they know not only is no one going to do anything about it, the media are treating their viewers like idiots, just telling them to ignore this. Something is going to have to break soon. The disparity in treatment and concern between the trivial things Trump has done and the level of corruption of Joe Biden and how they're gunning for Trump and covering for Biden are just too much to bear for too long.

And this is the exact problem I'm trying to demonstrate to MLB Fan. What happens when a bunch of people decide there is no way to "win" which means there is no way to effect change but they are determined to 'effect change" anyway. That's where the Democrats are taking us.

And they don't need immigrants to vote. They just need dirty voter rolls, a media that's nearly all propaganda, and crooked voting machines and a small amount of very carefully placed cheating. Is it happening? I don't know. But I do know they freak out when you start asking questions, which is a pretty good indicator that it is at least to some extent.

Or attempting to federalize elections so that states lose control of their elections like the donkeys have been trying to do since they found out during COVID how easy it is to "manipulate" an election if you have mass mail in voting and use voter rolls that have never been cleaned up because "racism"?

And by the way, even by the standards of NBC, you're misrepresenting the Texas law (https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2022-election/texas-senate-passes-bill-allowing-secretary-state-overturn-elections-h-rcna82631).

Quote: The Republican-controlled Senate passed the bill Tuesday and sent it to the state House. If it is enacted, it would allow the secretary of state to toss out election results in the state's largest county and call a new vote if there is "good cause" to believe that at least 2% of polling places ran out of usable ballots during voting hours.

The bill would apply only to counties with populations greater than 2.7 million, effectively singling out Harris County, which is home to Houston and has by far the largest population in the state, at nearly 5 million. In recent decades, Harris County has become more Democratic. /End Quote

The answer seems simple. Make sure you have enough ballots. *shrug*

The NBC article isn't fact now? You misrepresented the Texas law and you accuse me of partisanship.

It seems a simple thing for a county to have enough ballots, and I doubt that Houston is the only city in Texas turning "blue."

It is very easy to cheat in urban areas, and even a little cheating in an urban area by sheer numbers can disenfranchise large numbers of rural voters. Do their voices not count?

Also, Republicans tend to be in person, election day voters, so if Houston is "running out" of ballots, one could construe it as a deliberate attempt to disenfranchise Republican voters. I'm guessing that's what the legislature thought. Much like the whole "oops the voting machines don't work" trick in Maircopa in 2022, this was a deliberate attempt to sabotage Republican chances. It's a valid conclusion as these things have a tendency of only going one way.

As for what happens? I don't know. What happens when you call the integrity of any election into question, either by throwing out all the votes or making the election so chaotic and so untrustworthy (2020, fighting ID requirements for voting or cleaning up voter rolls because somehow you think black people are incapable of following directions or having IDs, which suggests a strong bit of racism on your part) that large numbers of people start to believe that elections are no longer a method to voice their displeasure or to create change and no longer a true measure of what the citizenry thinks? I think I'd worry more about that then getting my tighty whities in wad over a very narrow law in Texas that seems quite easy to comply with.

Seva, I always find your posts honest and direct. But I respectfully disagree. Let’s be realistic here. What difference does it make that a few hundred thousand read Substack and get to the truth mass media does not cover? The power belongs to them. On all levels. Why will they give it up? The corruption, the lies, the immoral and illegal actions have been exposed, but nothing changed. Nobody has been held accountable. That should be most alarming to sane people. We were always the country of law, but seems we no longer are. The legal system appears to be corrupted too, with many recent facts pointing to it. Can we still trust that we will overcome it by simply casting ballots in the next election for the right person? Seems a little naive.

Here’s a video about the black wilding Sunday night in the loop in downtown Chicago. A different video I posted here earlier about this said there were 300 to 400 hundred in this mob that came downtown on rapid transit trains from the south side to do their wilding. This is an ever more frequent occurrence not only in Chicago and I most surely do blame the democrats and their war on traditional values, which they consider racist, for this. Once I read a book called the “Long Pilgrimage: The Life and Teaching of the Shivapuri Baba” by J.G. Bennett who interviewed him. It’s available on Amazon for anyone interested. Bennett said of him, “I came to understand that he spoke from a direct experience of the mystery of the Divine Totality - transcendent, immanent, personal and yet Absolute.”

This Hindu saint though considered self-control basic for being human. At one point in the book he said “Discipline gives strength. A bird gets its strength from air. A king from his army. A man from his sense of discipline. Without discipline a man, be he a king or a Yogi, is but a human beast.” I never forgot that. It made a great impression on me. I live in Chicago so I see daily evidence of the collapse of internal restraints that cause more and more to behave more like human beasts rather than human beings. This does not bode well for our future.

There seems to be a disturbing pattern of interference by Federal Law enforcement prior to the congressional testimony from witnesses, whistleblowers, etc. Examples include:

-Devon Archer: 2 days before Archer was scheduled to testify, DOJ sends letter to Court to set date to schedule Archer to go to prison.

-Matt Taibbi: IRS visits his home on day he's scheduled to testify before Congress.

-Sam Bank Fried: Sam Bankman-Fried was arrested in the Bahamas, a day before he was expected to testify on the sudden collapse of FTX before the House Committee on Financial Services.

You can't be heartbroken over something that is impossible, and it is impossible for the regime media to do anything but parrot the propaganda. This includes Fox News, BTW. It's the independent substack voices and the renegades like Tucker that report truth; regime media is a husk of a shell of an idea that has not existed for at least 30 years. Probably longer.

Hundreds of black teens from the south side came downtown on rapid transit trains and did the usual wilding. We simply cannot function as a country like this.

Expand full comment

Sasha’s point here that our corrupt , incompetent and diverse ( remember diversity is our strength) media is right on target. And yet, primary sources are sometimes made available such as the New York Times/ Siena poll done in July. The writing in the Times is all about the Republican contenders and the “ fact” as seen by the Times that Trump’s nomination is almost a foregone conclusion. But, if one looks at the entire poll, the numbers for the thoroughly corrupt Biden are abysmal. Very high negatives! So, what is getting through to those polled? Observations of their own lives and those of others? It certainly isn’t the mediated story.

This media works hard against DeSantis portraying him as only a culture warrior when his stewardship of Florida has been effective. Here, they willingly follow Trump in portraying De Santis the way Trump does. Maybe DeSantis can refine his message. Will it get through? Trump has ignored Ramaswamy so he is able to communicate more directly. His message is good and occasionally gets through. Right now, and it’s early, I would say that the R nominee could possibly be Youngkin. Time will tell.

As for Biden’s alleged corruption, I wonder about Obama. Some here have said that he knew he had a path to future wealth and while that’s likely so, he still was Biden’s boss during this period. Did he know about this? Did he care? Did he profit? Or, was he so self absorbed that he obliviously allowed his VP to sell out?

This is what civilizational collapse looks like. A perfect example of what Vivek blames on the loss of family structure in America, particularly among blacks where there is so often no father to socialize boys and also very important for girls. He says the family is the basic source of a free and functional society and when the family breaks down the whole society unravels. We certainly are seeing evidence of that here now. I believe Vivek will become a champion of traditional values and the family not only here but globally. All things are now global in our always online global civilization.

A Jewish friend of mine who grew up in the Soviet Union and came here around 1990 is very much into cultural things like opera, ballet, theater and dance. I sent her this remix of Neil Diamond’s song “Red Red Wine” from YouTube recently. She said that she’d recently gone to a theater to see dance and was very disappointed because it was like this crazy dancing in the video and she could not comprehend what they were singing.

This then is another example of this irrational “Wokeness” very rapidly spreading and permeating the arts and all areas of our society. It’s just everywhere now. The rational is lost and we’ve fallen into the realm of the irrational which is dark and demonic. The women dancing in the red light asylum in the video are a perfect visual representation of the Woke mind. This is what we’re now up against. The women dancing in the red light are a perfect example of Woke culture whereas the Russian ballet practice is a perfect example of nonWoke culture. Like the difference between night and day. No one does dance better than the Russians though. Very impressive and beautiful. My friend recommended this “Igor Moiseyev Ballet.” I often watch them.

It is also used as a means for propaganda; eg Nazi’s used it to make people fear Jewish people, others use it to foment fear of white men, and the list goes on. Some glue Fear and Stereotype together to solidify it.

Birtha, I'm sure this is not your intention, but when you start talking about your fear of people with different views, you are doing exactly what you claim to despise: "othering" people. You paint them as ogres for disagreeing with you.

Your claim of fear also had the effect of shutting down some of the conversation. As Libertarian said, fear is a necessary emotion to keep us alert to danger. But it loses its value as a warning system when one claims fear of everything. Then it just debilitates those who succumb to it.

The worst is using a false claim of fear as a weapon against decent people, in order to silence them into submission. By the way, it was the Nazis who used manipulation of fear as a tool against the Jews. They spread false claims designed to make Aryans believe that Jews were out to get them.

Good Lord, you couldn’t be more wrong. There’s zero anti-semitism in Republicans that I’ve ever seen. None. Most Christians are allies of the Jews, not antagonists. It’s the leftists and the woke who hate the Jews, bc they’re always fighting for Palestine. They are pro- Islam and anti- Israel in my view. Christians are much more pro-Israel than the Woke idiots are.

Birtha, you are wildly wrong in your characterization of all things republican and conservative. Huge. All of my friends are educated, live in cities, have no issues with other races or ethnicities, or gays/lesbians. Personally, I’m very anti-trans as I believe it’s a dangerous hoax created for cash to prey on the mentally vulnerable and autistic young people in our society.

Women’s cells are XX for life, Men’s are XY for life, and no amount of hormones will change that. Birtha, just go on & wake up to the danger we’re facing. Woke is illiberal. The opposite of liberal. This is what Substack is about, the coming together of liberals and conservatives to fight the stupidity of Woke Inc. Your Jewish husband has for more to fear from from them than us.

It used to be Louis Farrakhan who was the main source of black anti-Semitism in America. In the early nineties he told blacks that Jewish doctors were injecting the AIDS virus into black babies to kill them. Many blacks believe idiocy like that. I still remember the Crown Heights riots against Jews in NYC. A young Jewish man from Australia, Yankel Rosenbaum, was stabbed to death by the black rioters. I never forgot the Chicago Tribune article about that. They said Rosenbaum had been killed during a “clash” between blacks and Jews, as if the blacks and the Jews were a couple of violent street gangs like the West Side Story, Jets vs Sharks, so it’s really not surprising one of these gangbangers ended up dead. How disgusting. That was a classic example of an anti-Jewish pogrom but the media wouldn’t report that. For many years Farrakhan preached hatred of whites in general and Jews in particular but the media would never report that.

Below is a link to CNN's coverage of the Devon Archer testimony.

Please note that as reported here the testimony is far less impressive than Miranda Devine would suggest. In particular, please note that the CNN report states that (1) "Archer provided no evidence connecting President Joe Biden to any of his son’s foreign business dealings" and (2) "Archer told the panel that Hunter Biden did put his father on speaker phone in the presence of business partners, but that business was never discussed."

Here is the link:

https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/31/politics/devon-archer-house-testimony/index.html

So assertions that CNN is ignoring this story are not true.

Edit1 (7/31/2023 400 pm PST):

Here is an additional link to a just posted Washington Post account of the Devon Archer testimony:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/07/31/hunter-biden-congress-oversight-republicans-devon-archer/0baea57e-2fb7-11ee-85dd-5c3c97d6acda_story.html

Please note the statement by a White House spokeperson: “It appears that the House Republicans’ own much-hyped witness today testified that he never heard of President Biden discussing business with his son or his son’s associates, or doing anything wrong”

Again, this seems to be much less that Miranda Devine and others have suggested.

Edit2 (7/31/2023 750 pm PST):

Here is an additional link to a just posted NY Times account of today's Devon Archer testimony:

https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/31/us/politics/hunter-biden-devon-archer.html?searchResultPosition=1

The headline says it all:

"Biden Spoke With Son’s Associates, but Not About Business, Former Partner Says

Republicans accused the president of lying, while Democrats said the testimony of Devon Archer, who worked with Hunter Biden, showed that his son was selling the illusion of access to his father."

And so again, this seems to be much less that Miranda Devine and others have suggested and assertions that the NY Times is ignoring this story are simply not true.

When I look for stories on CNN that I perceive as non favorable to Biden- I generally find myself navigating away from front page to their ‘Politics’ sub link.

Oh nice try. Using clips from CNN and WaPo. Do you actually think they used full testimony or just sections to push their narrative as support of ‘nothing to see here.’ DOJ worked hard on Saturday (not a usual work day) to threaten Archer start jail sentence immediately, only to have to send second letter after exposed for their intimidation that Archer would be allowed to testify. Regardless whether they spoke business, the phone call was to verify the connection, formerly described as the ‘brand,’ so they would proceed with their business/bribery schemes. If business wasn’t discussed, it was intentional to deny plausibility as described by Bobolinski. Business and bribes/demands were made by Hunter with threats to follow by Joe Biden.

Read them yesterday. You will pardon me if I take CNN's stories/analysis/ with a gain of salt. Given (until recently) their coverage (Protection) of all things Biden.. Thing is IF this was all their was on The Biden's that would be one thing. We could say Nothing To See Here Move Along. But It Ain't. Not by a long shot. As time has gone on it looks like The Biden Family is closer to a Cosa Nostra Bogata, than anything else.

IMHO and in the opinion of one of the Republican Congressmen on the House Oversight Committee yesterday’s Archer Devon testimony is much less than Sasha and various Republicans suggested. Here is another link discussing the matter:

https://www.salon.com/2023/08/01/truly-stunning-admits-hyped-biden-witness-didnt-know-anything-about-alleged-bribe/

The Republican star witness appears to have been something of a dud.

Again, as I have said several times, I am perfectly prepared to believe all sorts of terrible things about Hunter Biden. So what? Hunter Biden has never held any position, official or unofficial, in the Joe Biden administration. If you want to excite me, show me that Joe Biden did something illegal. Specify what crime he commit and provide court admissible evidence. I and the country are waiting.

"If you want to excite me, show me that Joe Biden did something illegal. Specify what crime he commit and provide court admissible evidence."

You mean, other than the fact that he is a war criminal (Iraq), international terrorist (Nord Stream), and is attempting to crush the free speech of Americans on social media platforms?

I find all of this spin about Archer's testimony hilarious. What do people think influence peddling and corruption is, anyway?

We know that Joe routinely got phone calls from Hunter when he was with his shady business associates. Why? Of course, it was to demonstrate his access to daddy and the benefit that that would provide to his biz pals having a pipeline directly to the top of the U.S. power structure.

We know that Joe took actions that helped Hunter's business dealings. One example: How in the hell does Hunter, a ne'er-do-well drug addict with ZERO international business expertise (or any expertise) land a lucrative seat on a Ukrainian energy company at the same time his dad has the prosecutor investigating that company fired under the threat of withholding U.S. aid?

Joe and his mouthpieces cannot seriously claim that it's all a coincidence. If the names were "Trump" instead of "Biden" in this scenario, do you think the Dems/MSM would be so ho-hum about it? It's as blatant as it gets.

And it is ludicrous to think that Hunter just had a strange penchant for calling Joe during his business meetings. I have children and I can say that none of them have ever called me during a business meeting. Why would they, unless it involved me? It's nonsensical. I would certainly wonder why they were doing so if it happened more than once, much less numerous times.

The Republicans, to their credit, are investigating all of this and gathering evidence in a meticulous way, including bank records, before launching an impeachment inquiry. That is a good thing. We all want to see a solid case laid out and tried. But this bit of portraying Joe as, at best, pure as the driven snow and just "a loving father" standing by his troubled son, and, at worst, as an unwitting dupe in Hunter's schemes is ridiculous. The man has been in Washington for over FIFTY YEARS as Senator, VP and now POTUS. If he doesn't understand that his position of near God-like power gives him extraordinary responsibilites including being aware of it possibly being abused by, especially, his own drug addict son for illegal gain, then he's a complete idiot.

It is so heartbreaking to see that this is what not just you but everyone on the Left believes - and that's not your fault. The media runs cover for the Democrats and you WANT to believe. You won't accept any evidence. Admit that at the outset. You support, in fact, BURYING evidence, calling it Russian disinformation as the FBI did, as the media did, as the Democrats did. The evidence is on the laptop - the money trail is on the laptop. Hunter texted that he provides the wealth for the family. Joe Biden is disgustingly and horrifically, allowing Hunter to take the fall. A man who has been in government since the age of 30, his entire life, is never going to make the kinds of mistakes someone who hasn't been in government his entire life. He knew what his son was doing. He plays the role of the spaced out know-nothing because easy marks like you believe it. Fine. Who cares. Just don't waste anyone's time pretending like you actually have an interest in the truth here. You do not.

Sasha,

Thank you for your response. Regretfully I do not agree with you as to who is and is not following the evidence.

To cite just one point: In your initial post you accused CNN and the NY Times of not covering the Archer Devon testimony. I posted links showing that that was not true.

Can i suggest the in the interest of truth you post an update to your story?

Explain to us how Hunter - with zero expertise in anything - got a lavish salary from Burisma as Joe was threatening withholding U.S. funds from Ukraine unless they fired the prosecutor who was investigating Burisma.

Short but superb interview with Vivek where he’s talking about how this obsession with destroying Trump will destroy America and also totally discredit the idea that this is a country committed to freedom and democracy. In effect, he’s saying the disastrous failure of the American experiment will drastically alter the course of world history. What do the democrats think of this? Nothing at all. Sails past them like water off a duck’s back. Their obsession is to destroy Trump and supporters internally and Putin and Russia externally. They are fanatics and are incapable of change. History shows that most such people do not change.

HUNTER: "Ukrainians. A couple of Russians, too."

JOE: "Are you on drugs again? Listen Mister, this can land me in a heap of trouble. We're putting your ass in rehab and you won't see the light of day for a long time."

It's not the Biden's, it's the masons. If it wasn't for them, puppeticians would never get "elected" in stolen elections:

Please read and watch all of this! Your life depends on it, because there's a plan to murder 95% of the global population by 2050… written on the mason Georgia guide-stones:

- Both Churchill and Roosevelt were masons and plotted to get the reluctant USA into the war by provoking the Japs and letting Pearl Harbor (left the whole fleet defenseless and concentrated there as an easy candy to be taken from a kid, no radar warning from outer islands, etc.)

- 9-11: two "planes", yet the third tower that imploded like in a controlled demolition (WTC7) was out of reach and all 7 World Trade Center towers destroyed, not the closer towers not belonging to World Trade Center... and the owner, with his 2 grown up siblings, failed to show up for work (never skipped work before)… by the way, he took an insurance policy against terrorism, just months before, when no one was taking them.

- J6: The fake riot was mason-planned, incited and guided by FBI agents, who broke into the Capitol !!! The same mason-plot was copy-pasted to disband the insurrection against the stolen elections in Brazil! All intel agencies (CIA, FBI, NSA) were founded by masons and are run by them for their own nefarious goals.

- At least since the 90s, vaccines were weaponized to reduce the population, for example:

1. Adding hCG to infertilize women: lab detected in 30 countries

2. Overpassing the FDA 10 ng limit to human DNA “contamination” by 2000%, thus causing neuro-damage (autism, asperger, tics, dyslexia in 29% of kids, etc.) and childhood cancer epidemic (n.b. leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas)

The best way to have a real dialogue about vaccines being weaponized to handicap, infertilize and murder the “over-population” is to start with vaccine contamination: nobody could be in favor of contaminated pharmaceuticals.

1. Carcinogen SV40 in Oral Polio Vaccine: they knew it since the 60s but kept distributing it even until 2016 !!!

2. hCG in vaccines to infertilize women detected since the 90s: still going on

3. Thimerosal, aluminum, Mono-sodium Glutamate (MSG) and other NEUROTOXINS

4. Heavy metals

5. Human DNA 2000% in excess of FDA 10 ng limit (main driver towards autism, leukemia and non-Hodgkin cancer)

6. Graphene oxide in Flu and COVID shots but now with anything injectable (even dentist anesthesia, hospital IV, etc.).

7. SV40 genomic sequences and double-stranded DNA in mRNA COVID shots

8. Bluetooth nano-routers injected with COVID vaccines and inserted with swabs (which explains why they rejected the cheaper non-invasive saliva test).

Proof of criminal intent:

Points 7 and 8

Censoring and blocking 30+ COVID cures

Labeling the most lethal batches with a lethal code (howbad.info)

Blocking the real knowledge of effectiveness v. "adverse event" rate

That proves:

A. There's zero Government control

B. There's zero Manufacturer liability

C. There's zero Media coverage

D. All that, during decades and still going on, not only with vaccines but also with medicines, food&beverage additives, etc. Everything, even institutions have been weaponized!

E. There's zero political action to stop that (except RFK2 in the USA)

For the sake of the argument, let me concede that Hunter Biden is a completely nefarious person and that he was guilty of all sorts of crimes. For me, and I hope for you, the critical issue is whether Joe Biden did something that was illegal.

So my questions are: (1) Of what actual crime is Joe Biden accused and (2) What is your court admissible evidence to support those charges?

Assuming that the CNN and Washington Post reports are accurate, today Devon Archer failed to provide evidence that Joe Biden did something illegal. Period.

If other media report different conclusions, please remember my two questions: (1) What is Joe Biden's alleged crime? and (2) What is the court admissible evidence supporting the charges? Those two questions should be our focus.

Expand full comment

My questions are:

1). What legitimate business service was Hunter providing to foreign entities worth millions of dollars to them?

2). Why would a 40-something year old man put Daddy on the phone just to say hi to his friends and talk about the weather?

You can keep on this “no evidence of wrongdoing” track, but only idiots pre-disposed to believe it will buy that as a legitimate talking point.

People who understand that when there is snow on the ground in the morning, it snowed during the night even though they slept through it, will never believe there is nothing to see here until you provide an alternative reason for Hunter to receive millions of dollars. Your alternate reason must acknowledge that Hunter has been a drug addict for most of the last decade.

Good luck.

Thank you for your response. Again, Hunter Biden may be a very problematic person guilty of all sorts of misdeeds. However what interests us is whether Joe Biden acted illegally. Unfortunately, you did not specify an actual crime for which Joe Biden might be indicted and you did not provide court admissible evidence to support the charge.

“and you did not provide court admissible evidence to support the charge.”

Many of our courts are now committed to “social justice” and have no interest in the rule of law. The DC courts that sent the Jan 6 rally protestors to prison for walking around in the Capitol are a good example of that and I’ve read that Joe is putting as many “social justice” judges on the federal courts as he can. Our judicial system is ruined as is everything touched by the Woke left with their poisonous touch of death.

With the clear admission that I am not an attorney, the way in which our legal system works is that to be convicted of a crime a person must be formally indicted for a specific crime and there must be evidence beyond a reasonable doubt of the person's guilt.

Personally I am prepared to believe that Joe Biden may have done something wrong. However to get me actually to believe that he did commit a crime I need to know specifically with what he is charged and I need to see court admissible evidence of his guilt.

As matters now stand, you have specified neither an actual crime with which Joe Biden may be charged nor provided court admissible evidence of his guilt.

Of course you are right in terms of an actual criminal conviction. I have pointed out several times that criminal cases usually don’t spring up fully formed and wrapped up with a bow. Evidence is built up with one piece leading to another until a case is made. To point out that there is not enough evidence now is not evidence of innocence.

The other point is that a President is “tried” in the court of public opinion. This President will presumably be on the ballot in 2024. The idea that “you can’t prove he’s a criminal” is a solid basis for a campaign seems absurd.

You may be right that many people will see things that way. How sad for our country if that’s the case.

As it stands, there may now be a House investigation into the question of Joe Biden illegal activities. They haven’t yet followed the money completely on the reported multiple Biden LLC’s created, payments made to those LLC accounts and where the $ finally flowed.

Follow the money.

A group of highly corrupt oligarchs in a highly corrupt nation funnels approx $10M to the Vice President of the U.S., the de-facto "Our man in Havana" in Ukraine, by offering his incompetent, crack-addled son a "job" he has absolutely no qualifications for in a country he can't even speak the language of. Crackhead son "rents" father's Delaware home for $49,910 per month (which father does not declare) while corrupt oligarchs set up complex money laundering schemes through a byzantine web of shell companies and cut-outs to route money to the Vice President and various members of his family.

Former Vice President is "elected" President and does everything in his power to goad Russia into invading Ukraine, the pretense necessary to begin flowing potentially hundreds of billions of U.S. taxpayer money -- money which becomes completely untraceable once rendered to the Ukraine "government" and, really, the oligarchs. Efforts to audit where this money has gone are constantly stonewalled by Democrat politicians, who just today killed a bill to audit the Ukraine "aid".

For both the corrupt Ukrainian oligarchs and the Biden crime family, it all amounts to one hell of a Return on Investment.

The Democratic Party is a criminally insane, open borders, globalist, anti-white, hate group. Last week I went to a nearby supermarket on the northwest side of Chicago where I live. There was a young Hispanic guy in front with three little girls. When I approached the store he held out a cup and said “Please help my babies.” He probably just borrowed the girls from his migrant shelter to help with the begging. How long will he continue begging though? Most likely he will soon join a migrant gang or a local Hispanic gang and start engaging in crime for money.

Chicago is “overwhelmed” with 12,000 “migrants.” NYC already has 93,000. What will these cities be like a year from now when there are 2 or 3 times as many? And how about the democrat’s demonizing of “Whiteness!” for political gain to get blacks to vote for the “good whites” who run the Democratic Party? Does this also generate intense hatred of whites which then leads to black on white racial attacks which are never classified as hate crimes? Obviously so.

For the past 7 years white Woke leftists like you have been engaging in a race war against white, working class conservatives like me. I naturally do not appreciate that at all. Could it be that the reason why America is so rapidly unraveling externally is because it no longer exists as a country internally?

I must conclude that you are being disingenuous.

Now, tell me with a straight face that if this business with Joe and Hunter were instead with Trump and his son that you and the Dems/MSM would be as dismissive of it.

For myself, as someone who wants to see the Democratic Party restored to its ideals (by RFK), I am horrified that all they can do is continue to ignore the obvious and try to spin away what is now as plain as day.

What I want from MY democratic party is:

1.) Brutal honesty, even if it means giving up one of our own.

2.) A commitment to free speech and the rule of law and the prosecution of anyone in government that has attempted to subvert the Constitution.

3.) An end to the open-ended support of the dictator/Nazis in Ukraine and peace with Russia and China.

4.) A clear acknowledgement of biological reality and an end to identity politics.

5.) The prosecution of Anthony Fauci, et al, for crimes against humanity.

6.) The end of accepting money from ANY corporation or PAC.

7.) A solid wall between government and the industries they regulate

8.) A secure border and the deportation of anyone who is in this country illegally.

9.) Cutting the bloated "defense" budget by 90%

10.) Insuring that the elderly and disabled have an adequate income

And that's just for starters.

But until we get rid of the Clinton/Obama/Biden control of the party and return it to its working class roots, none of this will happen.

Quit being a shill for these creeps. They no more care about you than the man in the moon.

"There is undisputed proof, at least among those outside the maga bubble linking Trump to his crimes..."

It's not even clear that Trump's "crimes" are even crimes. Not even the NYT and other Trump haters think the Bragg indictment is serious. And the "documents" case is clearly a witch hunt. I would be shocked if any court, given the ruling in the Clinton case, could come to any conclusion that Trump keeping documents was any different than any previous POTUS. As far as the J6 "insurrection" garbage, that's a joke.

But none of this compares to Biden influence peddling. That's an actual crime, which is why the Dems and the MSM are trying to downplay it.

As I've said to you before, it is clear that from day one of Trump being elected there has been a concerted and deceitful attempt to bring him down. Anyone who at this point cannot acknowledge that the whole "Russiagate" thing - where he was accused of being a "Kremlin asset" - was concocted from whole cloth is not being honest.

It is precisely because of this PROVEN massive lie that we must look at any subsequent attempts to "get Trump" with more than a healthy dose of skepticism. The Bragg indictment is so flimsy that it's laughable. What it really shows is that there is an ongoing attempt to bury Trump and prevent him from reaching the WH. That he is Biden's chief political rival and that it is the Dems who are indicting him should be cause for outrage from any fair-minded person. I'm not a Trump voter but this malarkey is bloody outrageous - again, because it has been clearly PROVEN that the whole "Russiagate" thing was a sham.

None of this has anyting to do with Biden's crimes, which are about as straightforward as it gets. I want the evidence of those crimes meticulously investigated and clearly laid out for all to see.

I would ask you the same thing I asked another Biden defender:

Explain to us how Hunter - with zero expertise in anything - got a lavish salary from Burisma as Joe was threatening withholding U.S. funds from Ukraine unless they fired the prosecutor who was investigating Burisma.

This is as clear and unambiguous a quid pro quo as there is.

The latest testimony that showed Hunter repeatedly involving daddy in his business dealings ("Say hi to these nice people, dad!") is only icing on the cake. The pattern of influence peddling is as plain as day. That's a crime.

Birtha, I think this is an example of trolling. It seems snarky and intentionally antagonistic?

I’m afraid we need to face the fact that the left is positively orgasmic over this. I can’t see them as simply having different ideas and opinions any more. Anyone who celebrates what the left has unleashed is evil.

It’s very clear that the BS about uniting and healing was just a cover for what they really wanted to do.
