Once again, it’s crickets from the press regarding a damning testimony from journalist Emma Jo Morris before the Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government on Hunter Biden’s laptop and the incriminating evidence against his father that it held.
As the deputy politics editor of the New York Post, Morris’s series of articles in October of 2020, prior to the presidential elections, outlined the extent to which Joe Biden was involved in the foreign business dealings with his family.
Her pieces reported that Hunter Biden leveraged his father’s position while under President Barack Obama as the point person for US policy toward Ukraine.
Morris documented an “off the books meeting between the Vice President Biden and a Ukrainian energy executive and introduced the world to ‘the big guy’ who got action on a deal with CEFC, China energy company.”
Despite well documented and identified sources, social media outlets censored Morris’s reporting within hours. This prevented millions of people from learning about the distressing information regarding the Biden family by disabling share features, a device typically used to prevent the spread of child porn.
The content was deemed to be hacked Russian disinformation.
Schemes to Silence
While Morris’s initial reports were quite shocking, the journalist claimed, “what was more scandalous than the reporting itself was the fact that it exposed the unholy alliance between the intelligence community, social media platforms and legacy media outlets.”
Morris chuckled as she recounted how the information she reported was blasted as “Russian disinformation” by “dozens of former intelligence officials” in an article in Politico on October 19th, 2020, five days after her original piece was published in the Post.
“God, I can’t even say that with a straight face, you know?”
The Politico piece claimed, “More than 50 former senior intelligence officials have signed on to a letter outlining their belief that the recent disclosure of emails allegedly belonging to Joe Biden’s son ‘has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.’”
Morris continued in her testimony that the most notable signatories of that letter included former Director of National Intelligence, Jim Clapper, former CIA operatives Michael Hayden and John Brennan. These men were also significant participants in the Russia collusion conspiracy theory against Donald Trump.
In April of this year, Former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morrell testified before the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees and revealed that Blinken was “the impetus” of the public statement signed in October 2020 that implied the laptop belonging to Hunter Biden was disinformation.
None of this caused a blip on the mainstream media’s radar.
In addition to this blatant cover up, upon his acquisition of Twitter, Elon Musk released internal documents that that the FBI and other intelligence community members “essentially directed the platform’s censorship operation in part externally by working with top management and in part internally by social media companies hiring eye-popping numbers of agency alumni,” Morris testified.
Through what is now famously known as the “Twitter Files,” noted journalist Michael Shllenberger, along with Matt Taibbi, exposed the extent to which Twitter executives dismissed reports on Hunter Biden’s laptops as a Russian “hack and leak operation” and prevented the original stories from receiving circulation through one of the country’s top sources of pollical information.
According to the files, Morris stated, “Feds arranged for top secret security clearances to be granted to Twitter management and even had encrypted messaging network setup which they dubbed a ‘virtual war room.’
A Banana Republic Thanks to Joe Biden
The collusion between the White House, the intelligence communities, and social media platforms is concerning for anyone who is remotely interested in living and participating in a free society. As many have commented, the behavior coming out of Washington D.C. and violations of free speech more resemble a banana republic than a democracy.
As Morris attested, “This elaborate censorship conspiracy wasn’t because the information being reported on was false. It was because it was true and it was a threat to the power centers in this country.”
Joe Biden secured the presidency by lying in 2020 and he continues to lie as the House subcommittee closes in on his deceits and malfeasance.
How long will the media continue to run cover for the corrupt Biden’s just to prevent a popular political opponent from reclaiming his seat in the White House?
