In October 2020, on the eve of the last Presidential debate, 50 U.S. intelligence luminaries published a letter intimating that the Hunter Biden laptop had all the earmarks of diabolical Russian intelligence operation. I knew it was a lie then and wrote accordingly (see below). But now, thanks to former CIA Director Mike Morrell, we know that the letter was a political op by Clinton operatives working on behalf of Joe Biden.
Matt Taibbi has a superb substack on the latest news. Here are a couple of salient points:
In that letter, which is not easy to find, you’ll see three snippets of dialogue from questioning of Morell, who appears to have organized the open letter. In the first snippet, he explains that the idea originated with a call from Blinken, then of the Biden campaign, and that absent that call, Morell wouldn’t have done what he did:

A letter published today (Monday, October 19, 2020) with the signatures of 50 “former intelligence” officials is a self-inflicted wound of comedy and absurdity wrapped in the specious claim of special expertise. Thank God none of these clowns still hold a position anywhere in the national security bureaucracy. Their inability to grasp basic facts and engage in simple reasoning perhaps explains why the Obama team abandoned American military and intelligence officials at Benghazi in September 2012 and why they considered ISIS as “a junior varsity” team.
Basically, this group of mediocrities are sure that the Hunter Biden emails are part of some nasty Rooskie plot:
. . . we write to say that the arrival on the US political scene of emails purportedly belonging to Vice President Biden’s son Hunter, much of it related to his time serving on the Board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma, has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.
There is only one teeny, tiny problem. They have no facts to back up their deluded judgment, supposedly based on years of experience. Just goes to show that experience without real intelligence is no substitute for competence.
Let us start with the facts that are documented:
1. Hunter Biden signs a work order on 12 April 2019 with The Mac Shop in Wilmington, Delaware to recover data on the hard drive of a Mac Laptop damaged by water.
2. The repair is completed on the 17th of April. Hunter Biden is notified by email and phone that the laptop and hard drive are ready to be picked up. Total cost–$85. Hunter did not respond.
3. In September of 2019, the owner of the Mac Shop talked with his dad about the Biden computer and the fact that it had material that might be relevant to the Ukraine issue. Father and son decided the best course of action was to approach the FBI. The father, who lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, volunteered to make the approach.
4. Steve Mac Isaac, father of John Paul Mac Isaac, goes to the FBI field office in Albuquerque in mid-September and offers the hard drive and work order to the FBI. The FBI only makes a copy of the work order and asks Mr. Mac Isaac to leave. The FBI volunteers no further actions on the part of the Mac Isaacs.
5. November 2019, the FBI suddenly reaches out to the Mac Isaac’s and visits the shop in Wilmington, Delaware. John Paul Mac Isaac asks the FBI to take the computer and the hard drive. They refuse and leave.
6. Early December 2019, the FBI returns to the Mac Shop and presents a grand jury subpoena for the computer and the hard drive. John Paul Mac Isaac happily surrenders the items to the FBI.
7. John Paul Mac Isaac watched and wondered from December 2019 thru August 2020, expecting the FBI would do something with the information on the computer and the hard drive. But nothing happened. John Paul turned over a copy of the hard drive to Rudy Giuliani’s attorney in early September 2020.
The New York Post stories based on the contents of the hard drive came from Rudy Giuliani and his team, not from John Paul Mac Isaac.
The Director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, declared on the record on Monday, October 19th, that the info on the Hunter Biden computer is not Russian disinformation. He specifically stated that there was no intelligence to support such a conclusion.
Today (Tuesday, October 20) the FBI and the Department of Justice confirmed the DNI’s declaration:
ONE senior federal law enforcement official says:
1-The FBI and DOJ concur with DNI Ratcliffe’s assessment that Hunter Biden’s laptop and emails in question were not part of a Russian disinformation campaign.
2-The FBI DOES have possession of the Hunter Biden laptop in question.
If this was a Russian operation, it would mean the Russians have the most amazing and powerful intelligence capability in the world. Specifically, it would mean the following:
- If the emails published from the material Rudy Giuliani supplied to the New York Post differed from those on the lap top and hard drive in the possession of the FBI, it would be easy to discredit Rudy. The FBI would simply have to state that no such emails exist on the Hunter Biden computer and hard drive.
- There is no evidence that John Paul Mac Isaac acted at the behest of any outside power to give the Hunter Biden hard drive to Rudy Giuliani. What we do know is that John Paul Mac Isaac never tried to sell the hard drive to the tabloid media nor did he try to give it to any member of the press. John Paul is a true patriot. He trusted the FBI and thought the system would do the right thing.
So there you have it. Proven liars like Jim Clapper and John Brennan, along with the likes of Mike Hayden, are claiming without one shred of evidence that emails validated by the FBI are somehow a magical Russian disinformation campaign. As I noted at the outset, it would be laughable were the claim not so dangerous to the security of the United States. They are the ones meddling in the Presidential election by using their status as former top intel officials as a platform for spreading a lie about Russian interference in hopes of persuading uninformed voters to accept this mendacity as fact.
This has nothing to do with Russians, except for the millions a wealthy Russian oligarch paid to Hunter. The truth of the matter is the Joe Biden used his son, Hunter, to enrich himself and his family. While Democrats continuously insist that Donald Trump is corrupt and unethical, the Hunter Biden emails provide devastating evidence that it is the Bidens, not the Trumps, who are engaged in corrupt and slimy business deals. Those are the facts.
UPDATED CONCLUSION — John Paul Mac Isaac has filed a defamation suit against Democratic operatives and media who spread the lie that the he was part of a Russian intel operation:
The Delaware computer repairman who blew the whistle on Hunter Biden’s laptop filed a multimillion-dollar defamation suit Tuesday against Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, CNN, the Daily Beast and Politico, saying they falsely accused him of peddling Russian disinformation. . . .
“After fighting to reveal the truth, all I want now is for the rest of the country to know that there was a collective and orchestrated effort by social and mainstream media to block a real story with real consequences for the nation,” the 45-year-old Mac Isaac told The Post.
“This was collusion led by 51 former pillars in the intelligence community and backed by words and actions of a politically motivated DOJ and FBI,” he continued. “I want this lawsuit to reveal that collusion and more importantly, who gave the marching orders.”
Thanks to Mike Morrell, J.P. now has the proof that this was a conspiracy and that the 50 intelligence officers colluded in that illegal act. I would not be surprised to learn that those intelligence officers will find themselves added as defendants to Mac Isaac’s lawsuit. I am enjoying the irony that the former head of the CIA has now implicated himself and his cohorts in a genuine conspiracy. And this conspiracy is not a theory. It is a fact.
Does it not seem to you to be a fortuitous coincidence that the Hunter (what kind of person names his spawn “Hunter”, anyway?) Bidet laptop saga suddenly got resurrected just as Joe Bidet is supposedly about to announce his decision on whether to run again? Is it not perhaps significant that even with full scale voter fraud Bidet’s chances against a resurgent Trump are fading? Is it not true that many in Bidet’s own DayMockRatIck tribe are not happy about him running again? Is it not possible that the intent is to pressure Bidet into announcing that he will not run? And once that aim is achieved, is it not extremely likely that the laptop will be memory holed again?
A reasonable conjecture.
USA will be broke much before the fake election.
USA is broken already (as opposed to broke which is some way away IMO).
MAGA was right at the time – USA was broken in 2016, and Trump did not fix it.
That is also the only way to describe the loony policies of an already defeated empire – starting a fight with Russia and China would you believe.
“Great again”?
When was it great before?
The USA is made to look broken, it is not broken. It is suffering from battle scars. The attack on the USA is full spectrum and it’s best to know this fact and who is behind it. Pull up from the illusion of two parties.
What we are watching here is a strike and counter strike between the agents of the moneyed interests of Europe (with their about to expire Ponzi scheme) and the agents of USA’s moneyed interests. One can’t argue that it’s all about power and money is a big part of power.
Let’s see, but first. let’s agree that the Obama,/Clinton machine has been indoctrinated by the WEF and as a good example, look at Trudeau and Pillary as agents saboteur.
So here are a few tit for tats explaining the whys:
Tit- The WEF announces one World Central Bank, no more New York Banks. Tat- Fed Chairman Powell takes away the ability of Europe to Establish the Cost of US Money through the City of London.
Tit- The New York Banks withdraw over 100 billion of assets from SVB and bring it down. Tat- Credit Swiss (the biggest hedge fund for US stocks in Europe, Apple and others) is brought down. US Fed bails out depositors with $54 Billion and screws Euro Bond Holders.
Tit- Jamie Diamond goes to Davos, sits back, relaxes and declares Oil will be around till 2050. Putin and Bin Salman make oil investable again by stabilizing price and supply. Tat- Jamie Diamond is in court defending himself against the Epstein “brought to you by Mosad” honey trap.
Tit- Blow up NS pipelines. Tat- Seymore Hursh article enrages German populace. Wait till next winter.
Tit- Russia establishes a Naval base in Sudan (with Saudi blessings) to protect oil shipping lanes in the red sea. Tat- WEF agent Bidet orders regime change attempt in Sudan.
Tit- Trump dragged into court on a “let’s find a crime” case. Tat- Bidet’s campaign and Blinken are proven conspirator with a 50 signature letter as proof.
It is mind and soul consuming to keep asking who are the actors in a particular battle in an ongoing war. We have no investigative MSM. It is more productive to ask why? Once the Why is in the open, they have been compromised.
The war is between the WEF’s masters and the USA. They want to bring us down. A war with Russia and China for starters, add to that 31 trillion in national debt and Soros attacking the USA’s fabric of society, through the zionist neocons, zionist media and zionist politicians. Bidden is on YouTube saying: I wasn’t born a Zionist, but I am a zionist.
Anyone watched Christine Lagarde on Face the Nation, the DC pundits weekly talking points?
She was pleading that the Fed should go back to coordinating with Europe’s Central Bank, the same bank that is pushing entral digital currency. Then, she started the attack on Powel to reduce interest rates.
Why does anyone in the US give a flip about the European Ponzi scheme going down in flames? The WEF stooges are the only ones that care.
Interesting…..
In the midst of all this, is the US still the big victim? LMAO! And what color is Biden’s cape?
Agreed, bravo.
There is now a Kennedy in the race. Roger Stone says a Trump – RFK ticket is the best way forward!
https://www.voltairenet.org/article219192.html
Roger Stone is having fun flying absurd kites
Kennedy is a zealous promoter of the Ukraine War.
Kennedy can be a democratic vote splitter or another Bernie. Let us wait and see why.
…and the climate hoax
That’s not true. Unfortunately, his son got recruited into the mess. That hasn’t stopped Kennedy from criticizing US policy.
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2023/04/21/robert_f_kennedy_jr__what_were_being_told_about_the_ukraine_war_is_not_true.html
He probably heard it straight from his son.
“Dad, there’s a bunch of tattooed nazi saluting thugs and halfwits from around the world committing war crimes here and the officers are divvying up dead soldier’s pay and organs and now they’re threatening to have a guy with stick on wagner patches shoot me on camera if you don’t retract everything you said. Please send air fare.”
I would suggest that you listen to his announcement speech in Boston:
https://rumble.com/v2jb9dw-robert-f.-kennedy-jr.-kicks-off-democratic-presidential-candidacy-campaign.html
At 1 hour 30 minutes, he talks about Ukraine. He isn’t supporting this war, he’s trying to get more people to care about where this war is taking us.
“(what kind of person names his spawn “Hunter”, anyway?)”
Actually his name is ‘Robert’ as in ‘Robert Hunter Biden’, Hunter is his mother’s maiden name. I have no idea why he goes by Hunter instead of Bob, Robert, etc.
I have no idea why he goes by Hunter
Always on the hunt for the next lucrative grift?
Or maybe over his attraction to the exploits of E. Howard Hunt, a psychological ‘my beating heart’ thriller leading up to his subconsciously wanting to repeat Watergate by abandoning his laptop over a mere $80 bill. Sonny obviously has daddy problems.
All I know is this country desperately needs a psychiatrist’s couch the size of the Great Lakes.
Totally possible, even probable.
I think the Dems have done everything they could think of — starting with suddenly “discovering” that the senile grifter had classified material dating back decades ago unsecured, stashed everywhere, to ‘leaks’ from the resuscitated laptop the FBI had sat upon for two years, to the carefully arranged visibility given to Hersh’s report– to induce the republicans to do the desired removal for them.
The republicans did not oblige. The dems’ only hope now is that “Dr Biden” and the Biden Family Syndicate will be intimidated into dragging him out of the race.
As well, don’t forget the mendacious, dutiful lying leftist soldier Susan Rice is reportedly suddenly leaving the Biden administration. The DNC probably can’t goad Michelle Obama to run in 2024 (too much like work for her); Kamala Harris has exposed herself as a dolt; so why won’t I be surprised if Susan Rice, who ticks off the female and African American boxes of identity politics, throws her hat in the ring?
Hardly Biden himself.
I his age and condition best he can do is busking in sun in some luxury ranch.
But there might be players, my be Killary herself, that see Biden as a useful puppet glove.
A ruler, too senile to notice would would be done in his name, and too discharged to stop it even if he notices. Ideal placeholder and namesake
I don’t get this urge of these 50 the “formers” to compromise themselves forever for making such statements without actually examining the evidence (laptop) first hand.
Political whores, not professionals.
And they, as well as their ring leaders, will never be punished.
They covered themselves reasonably well by crafting a “has all the earmarks of” and Morell also in his testimony by “did Binken ask you directly to…..no, not to my recollection” or some such. That’s what the dems are using as a ‘nothing to see hear’ argument, as I understand.
I think it’s time to coin a new term. When something appears black & white, it’s time to inject doubt by ‘graywashing it’.
(maybe somebody already coined it….no matter.)
What is the chance that someone like a Jim Jordan will issue subpoenas to get these dipshits under oath and on the record?
At least one might be induced into puking up the truth.
It could be a very interesting string to pull.
I was a bit player in the “Congressional investigation” of a long-ago “scandal.” Back in 1983, involving all kinds of bad acts by Ann Gorsuch and the charming Rita Lavelle, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rita_Lavelle, in connection with the abuse of the federal “Superfund” hazardous waste response program. Got to watch how power is used and “legislative fact finding” is actually done, and how the significant evil gets drowned in the Beltway Bathtub. Anyone dreaming that subpoenas and testimony will produce revelations and consequences is sadly stuck with a totally misplaced faith that somehow, “if the Tsar only knew,” “justice” would prevail. We are swimming in a sea of corruption and excrement. And no Heracles to run a cleansing river through the stables. It’s a dying empire, and there’s always been a gulf of varying widths and depths between the ideal and the real —pretty much everywhere humans organize.
Ditto that, Larry. The same can be said to explain almost everything that emanates from The Great Whore That Sitteth Upon the Waters of the Potomac (D.C.) in recent years.
Just looking to make themselves available for future sinecures, the unemployable office plankton that they are. They knew the fix was in, so they were aligning themselves with the winning side.
Anyhoo, it’s not like they weren’t “compromised” well before this, so that had no bearing on their decision.
They understood the ways in which Washington works: if they prostitute themselves in this way to get Joe Biden over the line then he will owe them one.
The “urge to compromise themselves” was never the issue here: everyone knew these people were political whores, the only issue that was at stake would have been what price they could extract for “services rendered”.
You know. Favours. Jobs. Money.
For what they wrote they will simply blame others. But the money is real.
Some of the videos and photos released show that low life Pedo POS Hunter with what looked like 4 yr old toddlers dressed in lingerie were the most repulsive I’ve ever seen. And all those arse wipes that protected him are no better than him.
I friend and colleague has thoroughly reviewed the laptop data. There is no pedophile data.
From the laptop you and your friends examined, can one verify a lot of things about “extremely dirty (such as corruption, hush money, bribery, dangerous influence…..)” things involving China, Ukraine, etc., etc ?
What is true about the story and what isn’t? Say that they break their necks in court about their abomination ……
Thank you very much.
All of the dirty business dealings are true. Pure corruption and funneling money to Joe.
Thanks, Larry. This is a corker of an article. The timeline is immensely valuable.
You know, the lying of “The Swamp” is breathtaking. Reminds of that phrase about the “father of lies”. I must say that there have been moments in recent years when I’ve wondered, reluctantly, whether those Iranian mullahs might be onto something when they denounce “the great Satan.” I am only half-joking.
Wasn’t the overly high rent jr. payed to pops’ house one way to launder payments? There must have been a few dozen others.
I sincerely hope there is not a shred of evidence of pedophilia because that would provide a very shiny object to mesmerize and distract the public’s attention from the serious issue of corruption at the expense of national security of which the Bidens should be investigated.
In the same vein, the sexual angle of the Wexner-Epstein operation obscured the more important aspect of national security to the point that no presstitute on the MSM had the curiosity to ask: what were they doing with all the material they collected from cameras and listening devices as ” kompromat” on all the politicians, potentates and influencers who were non-paying johns? for whom were they collecting it?
This is House letter with the Morell admissions:

Though it’s a fact FBI possessed laptop prior to the Blinken/Biden scheme using, at least, Morell as initial conduit. . . what about reports that the FBI was ALSO investigating this as “Russian Disinformation” etc. . . . are the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees interviewing relevant FBI/DOJ/CIA government employees, past and present, at this time? Is IG Horowitz working on this. . . .And what is Jake Sullivan’s role in this, given he and Blinken are like Beavis and Butt-Head?

Yes, you were. And you are to be commended. But it does not matter. Let me explain. Joe Biden just won the 2024 election a few weeks ago.
The Democrats won the majority on the battleground Wisconsin Supreme Court. And the US Supreme Court never overrides local elections.
The Chicago Way. You send one of ours to the hospital. We send one of yours to the morgue. The Dem’s are playing the Chicago Way. All pretense of law and the ‘Constitution’ are gone. The Repukes are playing for campaign contributions and to be the loyal opposition.
It’s probably too late, but I have made myself a promise. My birthday is October. No more comments on Facebook, Twitter, or here. It does not do any good. And it makes me a target. Maybe I’ll be moved to the back of the ‘re-education’ line as the election steal goes on.
‘Murica.
The Dems are remarkably good at preparing the battlefield. They anticipated the 2016 election perhaps going to SCOTUS like Bush-Gore in 2000. A 5-4 conservative court posed a risk. So on 2/13/16 they got rid of one of the five conservatives. Just a little “wet work”, as John Podesta called it (in advance) in his leaked e-mails. Note to self: never go hunting on a democrat’s ranch. If Obama’s pick for Scalia’s replacement (crooked Merrick Garland) got confirmed, great. If he didn’t, a 4-4 court couldn’t override the democrat-dominated appellate courts (3rd and 6th districts) that oversaw the swing states of PA, OH & MI. They just didn’t foresee a Republican (especially Trump) winning Wisconsin. They stepped up their game considerably in 2020, especially with Zuckerberg’s drop-off boxes and ballot harvesting from old folks – some of whom may even have been alive.
The Soros. A huge huge huge part of all of this. Without them funding politicians, DAs, officials at all levels, I doubt the US would be in such trouble.
“The Chicago Way. You send one of ours to the hospital. We send one of yours to the morgue. ”
Actually, it is much worse than that. Innocent reformers end up in the morgue or hospital. The DNC machine cowards there pretend it isn’t happening. That mentality has metastasized from the city that no longer works effectively into the United States of Chicago that also no longer works.
I recall the 2016 California presidential primary. Bernie was a threat to Hillary. Our slightly conservative district polling place was run by a new crew-New Englanders with Massachusetts accents. No smiles, dead quiet efficiency.
The local officials were notified by state democrat(mob) leaders they were not needed.
Have you noticed since Larry started this blog, the few comments have grown to a regular over 100 with readership many times that.
Do not just quit your right to your opinion. Truth is light. Maybe word things carefully but there are more not less everywhere questioning everything so take comfort from that.
The US Banks are not to be discounted. Kennedy is the Devil showing up in the Democrapic fairy patch. Just like Trump is a Repugnicant vote splitter, so is RK, Jr. a Democrap vote splitter. Look at it as two waring factions, they have agents in both parties. Pull up from the dillusional dive of a two party system. You’ll end up crashing your mind for it doesn’t compute.
From your work history you gave in another post, you definitely are a target. Just sayin’
“The Hunter Biden emails provide devastating evidence that it is the Bidens, not the Trumps, who are engaged in corrupt and slimy business deals.”
Poor logic, Larry. That Biden is corrupt, does not prove that Trump isn’t. (He is.)
No. ZERO evidence of the Trumps doing what the Bidens have done. ZERO! If Trump had done only a fraction of what Biden has done that would have his ass in jail by now. Don’t let your dislike of Trump cloud your analysis my friend.
Since 2016, Trump has been investigated by the USG — the entirety of its “law enforcement” establishment and intelligence agencies — in addition to several state and local prosecutors. Please enumerate all “crimes” and instances of “corruption” these entities have found.
I’ll wait…
It’s all about control, they can’t control Trump and they can Biden. Thus, Trump endures at least a half dozen colonoscopies and Bidet gets to slide.
yours is the poor logic.you cant proove a negative like,You are a pedophile,prove you are not.
Criminals In Action=Long March fundamental transformation fellow travelers.
Nothing surprising here.
The centers of legal power in the US are in overwhelmingly democratic strongholds: DC and Manhattan. 93% and 90% democrat populations. There’s your jury pool. Even if there were an honest, nonpartisan prosecutor working for DOJ, there’d be no point in pursuing a case in DC against a democrat. Even if you have rock-solid evidence, a democrat will – at most – get a slap on the wrist. See the case of FBI attorney Kevin Clinesmith who doctored an e-mail about Carter Page to get a FISA warrant and didn’t get even a single day in prison.
For this structural reason, honest, nonpartisan people cannot survive in the US justice system and don’t even try. Even the nominally “Republican” ones are captured. Theoretically, an honest attorney general could bring in his/her own people and pursue charges in less overwhelmingly democrat venue, but “theoretically” means “not in the real world”.
I was once assigned to the VIP presidential security detail for Bill Clinton. Some of Secret Service agents I spoke with had a deep visceral hatred for Hillary. I had that assignment for a few years and got to see the dog and pony show first hand. Money was the motivating factor as far as I could tell. I was in a wealthy geographical area and we always ended up in some VERY rich donor’s home. There is no doubt that my government is filthy dirty and rotting from the head down. I truly feel the American public is completely ignorant by choice. Unfortunately, we are headed to a very bad place in America.
I believe a coming economic debacle is the only thing that will get people’s attention. Like 220 million Americans who lined up like sheep for Fauci’s magic juice, the same sheep will be lining up for the freedom killing CBDC. I wish Russia every success in Ukraine as a way to slow down this Washington DC madness.
Thank you for your efforts.
you are very awake thank you
Much the same way I feel.
I don’t see it here so please allow me to say it first, THE ISAACs DID NOT KILL THEMSELVES.
Slowly at first, then suddenly this country became third world. I’m glad my father isn’t here to see what has happened to his country. I’m sure he saw it coming, though.
This describes the state of affairs throughout the empire, in all its overseas provinces and colonies. When Glenn Beck speaks here of the USA. Billions of people are fed up with the horror. Whether they think about it more deeply or not.
The entire west is dominated by a freak show.
𝐆𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐧 𝐁𝐞𝐜𝐤:
Glenn Beck comes from a CNN offshoot, landed at FoxNews founded his own station (TV show, podcast, radio) over 10 years ago.

Did you know blinkens step sister was gishlane maxwell of epstien fame…
this is according to garland…
these small circles of despicable people are very troubling. its not even 3-6 degrees of separation.
More accurately:
Antony Blinken’s mother, Judith Blinken Pisar,
was married to Samuel Pisar, who among his other activities was lawyer to Robert Maxwell, Ghislaine’s father.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Pisar
How so?
Correction to my comment above:
Antony Blinken’s mother was Judith Frehm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_M._Blinken
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antony_Blinken
Judith Blinken Pisar was his stepmother.
Antony’s paternal grandfather, Maurice Blinken, father of Donald, was born in Kyiv, per Wikipedia.
It is remarkable how many of the Jews influencing American policy towards Ukraine have family relations with Ukraine.
Surely that is a major factor in what is most evidently an instance of a “passionate attachment” (exactly what we were warned to avoid).
> how many… have family relations with Ukraine.
It is called US Captive Nations Committee. Google when was it founded…
Remember “Alien” movie, the beast growing within until it is mature enough for hatching out?..
Until the politically powerful are held to account, there can be no hope for national cleansing. A democratic republic is likely the worst and most deceitful form of government ever devised. Its weak point is that it beautifully gives the public the impression that they have a real say in government whilst in fact the wealthy and powerful choose the ‘candidates’ and thus hold all the power levers. There is no possibility of reform for the same reason – the rich and powerful choose the agents of ‘reform’ and personal accountability is ultimately destroyed. The best that the people can hope for is that competing powerful elite can hold each other at bay. Without accountability the nation eventually falls into decay, rotting from the inside as the elite rape the people of their wealth and allow degenerative processes to drive the social structure into perversions of all sorts.
Agree. As I said in another post on this blog a few days ago, you can expect to get as much justice in this country as you can afford to pay for.
Let it burn.
Keep your head down, stay safe, and prepare to be part of the rebuild on the other side after the reckoning is completed.
Yes, it is too far gone at this point. Even if Mr Sarmat doesn’t drop-in on the DC beltway (a favored fantasy of mine) the system is deeply structurally damaged.
The blue cities will burn themselves out, stragglers will come for us, but I feel there are enough of us prepared for that. It will be ugly but I think we can rebuild on the other side.
There are a few wildcards such as Micheal Yon documenting thousands of young military age Chinese men entering the country.
See his Darien Gap stories for details. Itbis unlikely they are merely “immigrants seeking freedom” but something more sinister.
Trump won’t be able to save us. The Dems will freeze out RFK like they did Sanders.
It will be up to us ultimately.
Colonel MacGregor has said that the Chinese intelligence apparatus has a huge presence in Mexico, thus paving the way for all manner of diverse agents, with a multiciplity of duties, to undertake, should the orders come down to execute. Methinks destroying infrastructure would be one of their primo undertakings. What they certainly won’t be doing is to waste any leadership types, since maintaining countrywide imbecility, panic, and implosion is number one on their must-do list. I wonder if they could hire Westerners to MK-Ultra designated Muricans for specific duties. I would, if I were them.
The problem is not political party. The problem is corruption of the political and judicial system in the United States.
This political and judicial corruption is funded by corporations and private wealth each with their own agendas.
It is late in the day for the US to get a grip on what is now state capture of the US by vested interest. As this is almost entirely complete.
There remain pockets free from state capture only because of the individuals leading in those areas. As state capture increases they too will be fall.
So what is the US. The US is presently a captured state that is an oligarch and corporate run entity with few remaining declining pockets of democracy and judicial due process.
Sorry Larry, sorry American people, there will be “no” accountability for the crimes committed by employees and leaders of our government.
We saw vividly how in 2020 rioters burned our country to the ground, while Pelosi and Dems. knelt in respect, after a criminal died in police custody from a fentanyl overdose.
During DJT’s term, before, during and after, how he’s been persecuted by those who are supposed to enforce the laws of this country, including all of the alphabet agencies, while Hillary was given a free pass, and now he’s about to be sent to prison by a Soros-funded, pro-crime DA.
We saw Fox news call Arizona for JB, with 30% of votes counted, when DJT was winning in all 5 swing states, how Truethevote obtained 24 terabytes of geolocation of 2,000 mules, going back as many as 50 times to the carboard ballot boxes.
We saw Kary Lake lose to Hobbs by 3%, when 60% of voting machines in GOP areas had the wrong paper and nothing is happening.
We saw how Obama/Biden launched a coup in Ukraine, installed Zelensky and proceeded to provoke a war they hoped to win and how the US and EU, in the words of Francois Hollande and Angela Merkel: ” they had no intent to implement the Minsk agreement.
We saw the FBI instigated insurrection, where now hundreds of US citizens languish in jail, with no charge.
We are no longer a country of laws and nothing can be done to fix it.
This strikes deep fear in people raised and educated in the first principles of America. But the current generation I fear buys into everything that’s happening. For this reason I’m pretty confident America will be ending in the next decade or two. It will be destroyed and there will be nobody around who cares to stop it or will go through the effort or even notice its happening.
Could someone point me to a good source on what actually transpired in Benghazi?
Thanks

Being married to a Russian girl, I know very well what corruption is. And, what is more important, I know that the Russian citizens know it also, BUT the western citizens have no Idea how corruption works! And this, and only this explains why the Russian citizens support Putin, as he slowly but steadily stopped corruption in Russia. And considering that the western people don’t understand what corruption is, explains why they are helpless against this. They are blind!
Russians know for years that the media were propaganda. In the west, people of course believe the press. How can the free western press ever tell the untruth? How can a western politician not work in the sole Interest of his country?
larry…welcome to the club. You been a member longer than me….Jumbo shrimp
think of the files they are accumulating now!
Its satanic

I believe your root ..to be biblical..not satanic.
The truth is known with time.
Thx.
Could it be that all this war support for Ukraine by Biden is not at least partly driven by the intel/blackmail that the Ukrainians have on Biden? Meaning – have they got paper trail, emails, recordings, witnesses etc of Joe Biden being involved in corrupt deals and being paid for them? So in effect blackmailing Biden saying you support us to the hilt, money, weapons, media or else?
Maybe not Joe but for sure, Hunter.
No.
No, the opposite.
Paul Manafort.
He Elected Trump in 2016 America.
He Elected Yanukovich in 2010 Ukraine.
Biden got elected only in 2021.
No, it is not that Ukraine war had started to extend Biden’s goals.
It is that Biden was started to extend Ukraine-related goals.
If there is a chance to unroot relations between Biden and Ukraine by public info, you have to start looking before 2010.
Out of a morbid sense of curiosity, how many of those 50 signatories ended up with jobs in the Biden Administration, or on its periphery?
Or their kids and wives did.
I learned during the pandemic that the number of professional signatures on a position paper is inversely proportional to the truth therein.
Usually just one honest person will sign a sincere document, such as the whistleblower in Larry’s recent post: ‘Judge Napolitano and I Discuss the U.S. Government’s Double Standard for Handling Leak Investigations, Including Hillary Clinton”
Benghazi, if memory serves, partly can be blamed on sub-subcontracting. USG-BAE Systems-Blue MTN GRP(WALES?)-local militia(Prometheized force). Part of the Benghazi hearings were Kabuki because Rep Mike Rodgers(R-MI) wife Kristi seems to have worked tangentially for BAE on the subconning(I like that word). This also can lead one into REDLINE RATLINE(HERSH/LRB) Actually Musa alSadr was responsible:)
Another thing about Benghazi that stands out is the location where supposed case officers met their sources, double agents, and other locals. The compound did not seem to be sufficiently manned with enough security people since the Langleyites feature them in their comical escapades. Also, if the shit hit the fan, as it did, there was no way to talk to US aircraft attempting to suppress the enemy or to evacuate the compound personnel.
Blinken is a Neocon Russia-hater. Everything he does is intended to denigrate and chisel away on Russia. The Neocons seem to hold a deep visceral hatred of Russia.
Prediction: Joseph Stolen is impeached within months.
Strange guy that Blinken. His father was a ‘fair play for the soviet union’ type of guy. I think these neocons in the backs of their trotskyiist oriented heads, they’re actually lamenting the ussr’s demise before they got the chance to reform it to their own whimsical ends.
Why is it, every time there is leaks about something cringe and democrat, it is ever blamed on the Russians ?
The fun part is, when a few years later , all the “Russian disinformation” appears to be true , the “Russian” looks like this cool Journalist or the Whistleblower than reveal Washington shady business … Despite having, near as far, no roles in the story at all but being the Dem’s Scapegoat.
The Russian : they did nothing , yet they look cool in the end anyway , well .. thank you Obama I guess ?
Reading these many comments from way down here in Australia, one can get the impression that, way over there in the USA, revolution is brewing, and not without good reason. It seemed, however, to many Ukrainians back in 2013- 2014 that there were many sound reasons for revolution in Ukraine. Having experienced that revolution (vicariously, for the most part) and some of its consequences (directly) and observing the full realisation of its dreadful consequences in our present day, I would be inclined not to recommend the revolutionary course.
Don’t get your hopes up. Only about 10% – tops – of the population “gets it”, especially as it relates to America’s maleficent foreign policy. Roughly half of the country is on board with wokeism and most of the other half don’t care enough to do anything about it.
The US government seems to collect every ingredients for a systemic collapse, but there is a difference between some ingredients and the meal some cook with it … excuse my very french point of view ^^.
A collapse it will be , no questions about it. But what flavor of collapse. A Weimar flavor ? A Fench Kingdom taste ? A subtle Edo fragrance ? A SSSR odour ? A zest of Maidan ?
Just pray the yanks don’t do revolutions as they cook …
It was a coup, not revolution.
Public support…
The three “leaders of EuroMaidan” – would you remember their names without googling?
Russian revolutions (there were 3, though 2 are being memory-holed), French revolution, American Revolution, British revolution – can you remember some names of their leaders without googling? And they were not shoveled down your throat by every presstitute just few years ago.
Well, they were roaming Ukraine in spring/summer 2013 and trying to call mobs to actions. And mobs just did were not coming. Few hardcore fans and paid clackers. It was back then a huge flop.
The largest crowd of EuroMaidan 2 was few dozen hundreds – for the country of 30-40M population, despite all the advertising and funding ($5B by Victoria Nuland alone).
Vradievka, Ukrainian pilot run of US Ferguson. It was 2012 I think, maybe 2013.
Thing is, Ukrainians in 2013 did not “anticipate revolution”, they en masse saw thugs at top power fighting one another yet again, and mostly stayed on sidelines, thinking it is not the first kabuki in their life. Well, this time the show turned tk be extra-long.
I have those photos of Maidan, Parubiy and the sniper’s rifle taken from the trunk of a car that was sent on its way unmolested, burned into my retinas along with all the contorted death poses of Donbass women and children bombed by these banderite vermin, immolated in Odessa and shot at point blank range in Mariupol, years before any SMO was even thought of in Moscow.
These are things that can never be forgotten, nor forgiven. And Merkel and Hollande, you’re welcome to join the objects of my dis-ire as well over your Minsk sham, thank you.
Don’t neglect socials factors , Maïdain is a consequence of a systemic collapse of a state. Was it helped ? Well … in a lot of ways. By whom ? Well … everyone who have interests in the thing , we are talking about money there. That is a hell of a lot of people.
Neither the less , the thing is : none of those events proves to be in anyway helpful for this now war-thorn country. Another sad story for the mankind bookshelves …
Just from memory, someone can fact-check:
The actual ’50 intel officers ‘ article was written with a boogle of weasel-words to assure indemnity against a future lawsuit. The headline was the only thing that the public read and the 50 intel officers could claim that they didn’t write the headline.
Like most here I don’t think the 51 signees were stupid or misinformed, just dishonest and corrupt. In the bureaucratic racket how far you get is more predicated on whose dick you suck rather than your particular skill set (other than the aforementioned). My view is you have 51 guys whose main tool kit is chapstick and knee pads. It also helps explain why they’re all “woke.” Maybe the recipient feels better if they wear a dress and lipstick.

Their control of the media will be complete. It started when the Drudge Report was sold.
Media, schools, the courts, the military, the unseen yet all powerful bureaucracy. They own it all.
But we will always have “Muh Constitution”.
Turn out the lights, the parties over………… Dandy Don saw it coming. He wasn’t talking about football.
Tucker Carlson calls out Big Pharma about their unsafe and ineffective product – and days later he gets sacked.
The way this occurred proves him to be a honorable man. My guess is, he will find employment elsewhere.
I wish him to persist and be a fighter for the enlightenment of the American public.
Antony Blinken and the other neocons in the foreign policy triumvirate, Vicki “Donuts” Nuland and Jake Sullivan, seem to be the most powerful people in Washington? They can do anything they want, perjure and lie, and there are no consequences. I keep asking myself, WHY are these people so powerful? They get anything they want, do anything they want and there are absolutely no accountability. I can’t remember anything like this since … Henry Kissinger?
In other news about free press (hilarity), tucker out at fox.
I read the articles on this site, and then I read the comments, and I am continuously left with a dizzying feeling of a void, a vacant space, at the heart of the USA. It seems to be running solely on inertia. If this is so, a collapse is inevitable. Slowly at first, and then all at once.
Consider Russia: NATO is a busted flush.
Consider China: Biden calls and the phone is allowed to ring out. Think again about that. POTUS calls and the phone is allowed to ring out.
Meanwhile, back within the Beltway the stink of mendacity, of venality, of decay has become overpowering.
I own a dog who has been a valued member of my family for some years now. But she is failing. Soon I will have to put her down. She will be missed, but life will go on.
Ex-USSR emigrants in America were saying it for about 20 years. They said “we didn’t know, but we just came back to the ailing dying Soviet Union. Flags are different, slogans are different, the way things are run is identical”
Back then it sounded impossible and even funny…
Biden = Brezhnev?
IMO, all evil roads lead back to the Bilderbergs, the super-rich globalists (yes, the “cabal”!) who literally own the immoral Western Governments. For every Blinken, there’s a George Soros standing behind him in the shadows. For every Nuland, there’s a Larry Fink standing in the shadows. For every Fauci, there’s a Bill Gates standing in the shadows. And these evil people meet and plan each year our path to destruction… also inviting the heads of the US and UK intelligence agencies to do what… receive their assignments and cash ?
The globalists are the Beast of Revelation 13, and the immoral Western Governments they own are together the False Prophet, coercing the Beast’s agenda on the populations in their nations (i.e. compelling the masses to “worship the Beast”). A simple example – the creation of COVID (financed by the US) and the shots, while at the same time supressing valid early treatments, all for the benefit of Big Pharma (part of the Beast system). They are literally try to kill us, and now also pervert us, out of existence… all those who resist anyway… and yes, they will prevent people from buying and selling when the get their CBDCs. It’s all seen. And it’s a slow-motion train wreck happening right in front of our eyes.

Thanks as always, Larry, for your interesting insights.

1. All emails that pass a commercial relay (such as gmail) have a DKIM header.
2. The header contains an encryption hash/signature calculated over the contents of the email, including the original headers [to from time etc]. A difference of single dot or space is enough to invalidate the signature, the random chance of a match is infinitesimal compared to being struck by lightning .
3. The hash can be verified using the provider’s public key, but can only be created using the company’s private key. The method is foolproof: the private key is shared with no one.
4. Anybody can validate the hash signature by uploading the integral email message, e.g., see https://www.appmaildev.com/en/dkim
Apparently I’m smarter than the entire global intel & journalism community.
Here is a good question for Larry:
For the last two years we have been brainwashed into believing that the Hunter Biden Laptop was a hoax.
So, who greenlighted the letter with the 50 signatures saying that Blinkin was running interference for Biden?
Who greenlighted the switch?
I was born in 1950. Therefore, in a few months I will be 73. I was born in Canada of US parents. Our family moved to a NE US State when I was 3. So I’m a dual citizen who was raised in the US of A. I turned 18 in the year 1968. I recited the Pledge of Allegiance, first thing, every day of my grade school life.
(I permanently moved to Canada in 1987, so I’ve lived in Canada for the last almost 36 years, but I’ve never forgotten my life in the US and I’ve kept my eyes and mind trained on the Great White Shark USA — the destroyer of nations and peoples, and an insatiable parasite on humanity — for all of that time.)
It’s amazing how politically conscious a young male becomes when there’s an ongoing draft, an ongoing US war (genocide) in SE Asia, and one is experiencing grade school while inexorably approaching draft age.
Early on, I turned into the proverbial “decider”.
For example, I decided that the so-called Gulf of Tonkin Incident was almost certainly a fabrication and most of what “the government” said about just about everything of any importance was a lie and likely the opposite of what it said would be closer to the truth.
I decided that JFK was not shot by Oswald. I decided that Jack Ruby was almost certainly used by government VIPs to make sure that Oswald would never testify about anything. I decided that the Warren Commission was a coverup operation, not a real investigation trying to find out the truth of what had occurred.
Relatively lately, I decided that Building 7 was not brought down by any aircraft; that Russiagate was a hoax; that Agent Orange was not Putin’s puppet; that Russia did not exercise any powerful influence in an attempt to get Orange elected; that the laptop was genuine and not some Russian disinformation strategy, and that “the US” certainly blew up the NS piplines.
I never needed a VIP in the US Government to “confirm” the “decisions” I arrived at myself after studying various sources of information.
Rudy Giuliani had the goods on “The Biden Crime Family” early on; went to Ukraine to obtain proof from witnesses and published several videos detailing his findings. But nobody, I repeat, NOBODY in “the government” would listen to him; and the US Department of Injustice went after him like a pit bull going after a bloody steak. What really surprised me was that Rudy was, after all his years of experience in government, still naive enough to be surprised by his treatment, but I was not, because I knew (and know) exacty what “the US” is, apparently much better than Rudy does (or at least did before he experienced first hand what the rest of the world has been experiencing for many, many decades).
I also know that “the US” is right now suffering a SYSTEMIC failure from which “it” will not, can not, survive in its present form. I described exactly why it is failing, at length, just a few days ago on Larry’s wonderful web site.
https://sonar21.com/yes-americas-political-elite-are-really-this-delusional/#comment-127809
The question that eveybody living in America has to ask themselves and answer ASAP (before the nukes start dropping on Main Street, USA) is as follows. What better arrangement or “system” does the US have to adopt to replace the one it presently has which is, in short, pure gangsterism on the rest of the world?
Believe it or don’t, some very smart people have attempted to answer that question for a very long time. For example, Albert Einstein attempted to answer it in the 1949, not that long after the Great White Shark dropped two nukes on two cities in Japan. See if you can find any value at all in what Einstein had to write.

Wonderful article Larry, thanks for keeping us informed. Do you believe anything will come from these revelations about the criminal behaviour of the Biden crime family? I’m guessing nothing will happen, it’ll be more of the same nonsense of RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA & Trump is to blame for all of this? It’s pathetic & unbelievable that Biden is not immediately impeached & removed from Office or forced to resign, this Man makes Nixon’s resignation for what was a Office break in, look like a petty, insignificant act that Nixon was forced out of the Whitehouse unlike Biden’s heinous crimes? Biden’s involvement in this unseemly & seedy behaviour is a true crime, one of larceny & greed, using the Office of the Presidency to enrich himself & his Family! And in the process, Biden brought dispute & dishonour to his Country, the Man is a crook & a criminal & should go to jail for his treasonous crimes as well as the people who enabled Biden’s avarice & greed, they also need to be jailed as well as they are co-conspirators with the Biden Mafia Crime Family! But will Americans see justice? Unlikely?
> look like a petty, insignificant act that Nixon was forced out
But of course!
Nixon had Hillary Clinton as his enemy, and Biden is having her as his master.
How can you compare those so different cases!
With Tucker gone at Fox one less truth teller. Falling like flies.
Murdoch shelled out $800 million in Fines for Fox News telling lies about Election stealing was that paid in Australian dollaradoos or USD? It wasn’t a stolen Election but it certainly was Election interference by Blinken & those Intelligence agencies, covering up for Biden by flat out lying & blaming Russia for what they were doing & keeping the Truth from the American people prior to voting in the US Election? No one would have voted for Biden if they knew about his personal enrichment, 10% for the Big Guy, get rich schemes & criminal activities in China & Ukraine? And Fox fired the very Man, Tucker Carlson who spoke the honest to god Truth & exposed the MIC Warmongering corruption from both Republican & Democratic Parties, whereas the ones who lied & propagated Trumps Stolen Election mantra like Sean Hanity & the other motley bunch of lying mouth piece anchors, got rewarded for their BS & lies & kept their jobs, its pathetic!
Who are the two gents pictured at the top? Guy on left looks vaguely familiar but isn’t Morrell, and can’t even make a guess at the guy in facemask. I’m guessing it’s some pop culture reference as Larry tends to do (and which he usually explains, e.g. “cowbell”), but can’t figure this one out.
The guy on the right looks like a Delaware computer repairman, and the one on the left like a crack smoker with taste in Ukrainian prostitues.
Thanks for clueing in the clueless. I was guessing the ‘little guy’ was from SNL.
Real victim here is the owner of the repair shop, that did the right thing and got his life destroyed because of it.
Just another establishment nail in the Biden Administration’s coffin! But I confess that I found it even more hilarious that Marco Rubio thought that the problem with the de-dollarization of the global economy is that the US will not be able to continue to sanction Venezuela?! Someone explain to the dumboass with the giant ears that the US is finally starting to shoulder its own debt. Or send it to Ukraine as an F-16!
100% kudos to Matt Taibbi . He came under big attack this past week and his response was to make more enemies.
If Bill Maher wanted to give his Cajones Awards some balls, he’d give a statue to Taibbi, Hersh, McGregor, Julian and Stella Assange etfuckingcetera.

Yes. You can spoof an email address and send them across a relay, but the mail-server and date/time stamps cannot be spoofed, nor can the headers added by the provider.
