The revelations coming from Hunter Biden’s laptop — and the way they have been hidden from public view — have enormous implications for Joe Biden’s presidency, and for every citizen of the West.

America’s national press is finally telling the tangled story of financial corruption in the Biden family. Major outlets infamously ignored the damning evidence that came to light when Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell” was recovered in late 2020. In doing so, they knowingly helped sway the presidential election in Joe Biden’s favour.

But with Biden now safely in office, and the growing likelihood that Hunter will soon be indicted on federal charges, cable news channels and left-wing newspapers are in damage-control mode. Their ongoing silence would make them complicit in one of the biggest scandals in American history, so mainstream outlets are racing to cover two years of missed reporting.

The Washington Post has now joined the New York Times in acknowledging the authenticity of tens of thousands of emails from Hunter Biden’s laptop hard drive. Even the highly partisan CNN, NBC and ABC are covering the story.

Biden Family Ties to Communist China

The most recent revelations concern Hunter and his Uncle Jim — Joe Biden’s brother — and their financial entanglements with a now-defunct Chinese conglomerate, CEFC China Energy.

Together, Hunter and Jim collected US$3.8 million in “consulting fees” from CEFC, a company that acted as a front for China’s insidious Belt and Road Initiative. Though CEFC operated under the guise of a private enterprise, it was effectively an arm of the Chinese Communist Party and had close ties to the Chinese military.

The Bidens’ lack of skills and experience in energy consulting has triggered alarm bells for investigators. The more likely reason for this financial arrangement is that Joe Biden’s son and brother were enriching themselves from the Biden surname, while China gained access to, and influence in, the White House.

Joe Biden was Vice President to Barack Obama in 2009-2017, a period that crucially overlaps with some of Hunter’s “consulting” work.

As legal scholar and analyst Jonathan Turley commented last week, the trove of evidence on Hunter’s laptop is

basically a step-by-step description of one of the biggest influence-peddling schemes in history. The fact is that influence-peddling has been a Biden family business for a long time. They have been rather notorious and open about it. The Fords are known for cars and the Corrs are known for beer and the Bidens are known for influence-peddling.

Hunter and Jim’s Dirty Chinese Money

Republican Senators Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson have led the charge in publicising evidence of Hunter and Jim’s corruption.

Among the Senators’ recent revelations are that the Bidens shared a joint bank account with CEFC under the name of Hudson West III. It is into this account that Hunter and Jim received dirty Chinese money and freely transferred large sums back to their own business and personal accounts.

In a tale with many twists, a CEFC associate named Patrick Ho was being surveilled by America’s intelligence agencies for his corrupt activities in Africa. All of this took place while Ho was financially involved with Hunter and Jim Biden.

When Ho was eventually arrested by United States authorities for bribery and money laundering in 2018, CEFC paid Hunter an additional US$1 million to act as Ho’s defence attorney.

Hunter had no experience in criminal law, raising another red flag for investigators about the purpose of the payments. Not surprisingly, Patrick Ho ended up in prison.

So why do these developments matter?

President Joe Biden is Compromised

What the Washington Post failed to highlight in their recent report was any connection between Hunter and Jim’s shady financial dealings, and President Joe Biden. The evidence that Joe Biden is involved in the corruption, however, is abundant.

On the eve of the 2020 election, one of Hunter’s former business associates, Tony Bobulinski, made a bombshell allegation. He told live TV news cameras that Hunter and Jim introduced him to Joe Biden on May 2, 2017. At that meeting, the Biden family openly discussed their plans to go into business with CEFC, plans with which Joe Biden was “plainly familiar”.

There is clear evidence that Joe Biden was financially benefitting from his son and brother’s overseas ventures. Not only did Joe and Hunter Biden share joint bank accounts, but Hunter’s business partners filed Joe’s taxes.

Additionally, Hunter paid off renovations at his father’s Delaware home, and also paid for his dad’s private phone lines during this time. Records even show Hunter complaining that “half” his salary was going to his “Pop” (Joe).

One particularly infamous email showed how the equity of the Bidens’ CEFC investment would be distributed among the family and other investors. It revealed that Hunter would be tasked with holding onto 10 per cent “for the big guy” — a not-so-subtle reference to his father, Joe Biden.

Documentation for all of this is available on the same laptop hard drive now admitted to be credible by the New York Times and the Washington Post. There is only one reason that the legacy media would expose Hunter’s misdeeds while failing to mention Joe Biden: they are still running cover for a corrupt Democrat President, hoping to wall him off from the coming legal avalanche.

Many have predicted that if Hunter is indicted for tax fraud and money laundering, as seems likely, investigators will be under pressure to turn their attention to President Biden.

Media and Big Tech Should Be Actively Distrusted

Almost all that we know about the Biden family’s corruption was publicly available weeks before Americans went to the polls to decide between Donald Trump and Joe Biden. The problem is that a conspiracy of silence and cover-up between the media and Big Tech meant the truth was hidden from mainstream America, and available only to those willing to dig for it.

Twitter locked the New York Post’s account for their breaking exposé on Hunter’s laptop, concealing the truth from millions of undecided voters. The Big Tech giant censored innumerable other accounts that tried to share the report, including that of the Press Secretary of the sitting President. Facebook also limited distribution of the story.

The prestige press refused to cover the scandal and waited until 51 former intelligence officials came up with a bogus claim that the laptop was likely planted by Russia to swing the election in Donald Trump’s favour. The officials had no evidence for this, and even admitted as such.

Nevertheless, the “Russian disinformation” smear was the story latched onto by the all the trusted voices in media, right up until election day. The truth was never given any oxygen.

The Pressing Need for Discernment

Whether or not Hunter is arrested, and whether or not Joe Biden is implicated in the alleged crimes, the West has just witnessed one history’s biggest containment operations. 

Powerful corporations entrusted with telling us the truth, instead used their influence to cover up for what may be one of the most corrupt first families the United States has ever seen. Moreover, their efforts likely swung the most hotly contested election of modern times.

It goes without saying that not everything fed to us by the legacy media is untrue. But discerning true from false takes diligence. It also requires triangulation: testing their claims against trusted conservative and independent outlets.

The same outlets that claimed Hunter Biden’s laptop was fake now tell us there are dozens of genders; men can get pregnant; anyone who feels like a woman should be allowed to compete in women’s sports; and that young children should be taught sex ed and even be castrated.

Consider yourself warned: approach mainstream reporting with great caution, or risk being drowned in an ocean of lies.
