Hunter Biden Dam About To Burst? WaPo, CNN Go Scorched Earth Over 'Laptop From Hell'

by Tyler Durden

Something strange is going on with the Hunter Biden laptop story. [Edit: see my concluding comment at the break below.]

As regular ZeroHedge readers know, the New York Post was excommunicated from social media shortly before the 2020 US election by Big Tech for reporting on shady international business dealings by the Biden family - particularly in Ukraine and China, contained within a trove of emails, text messages, photographs and financial documents that were on a laptop Hunter abandoned at a Delaware computer repair shop in April 2019.

To refresh your memory:

• Chinese Money Launderer Called James Biden After FBI Arrest, Was Trying To Reach Hunter

• Sperry Exposes The Complete History Of Hunter Biden's Crony-Connected Jobs

• Latest Cache Of Emails Detail How Hunter Biden Earned Millions In China "For Introductions"

Covering for the Bidens to help him win the 2020 election, people like Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) insisted it was Russian propaganda, and outlets which reported on the laptop were smeared as conspiracy theorists.

Daily Caller@DailyCaller

“FBI & DOJ concur w/ Ratcliffe that Hunter Biden's laptop & the emails in question weren't part of a Russian disinformation campaign.” Adam Schiff last Friday: “This whole smear on Joe Biden comes from the Kremlin.”

More than 50 'former senior intelligence officials' signed a pre-election letter proclaiming the laptop story 'has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.'

The Tide Turns

Two weeks ago, the New York Times confirmed the laptop exists, and is legit - and confirmed several previously reported aspects of the story, including correspondence between Hunter and his business partner Devon Archer, both of whom served on the board Ukrainian energy giant Burisma.

Today, the Washington Post and CNN are piling on - with the post confirming yet-more details of the laptop contents, and CNN running a blistering segment and reporting that the federal investigation into Hunter is 'heating up.'

The Washington Post, meanwhile, reports on Hunter's "multimillion-dollar deals with a Chinese energy company."

What's going on here?

Whatever the case, Glenn Greenwald isn't about to let the MSM get away with this U-turn unscathed.

Most of these details were reported and confirmed in several outlets *before* the 2020 election -- as opposed to now when it's safe to say it -- but they were censored by Twitter and FB based on the CIA lie spread by most corporate outlets that it was "Russian disinformation."

Just fucking amazing: now the WashPost, 10 days after NYT, admits that the contents of the Hunter Biden laptop are genuine and uses them in their reporting. Yet **not one** corrupt outlet that spread the CIA's pre-election lie that it was "Russian disinformation" has retracted.

The laptop's authenticity was proven *from the start*. @mtaibbi just published the pre-election texts from @TheIntercep's editor Betsy Reed saying I couldn't publish because they weren't real. She knew that was a lie but, either way, no retraction now!

I don't care that I talk about this a lot. It's not talked about enough. The CIA, Big Tech and corporate media all conspired in the weeks before the election to spread a clear lie to manipulate the election: that these emails were forged by Russia. Now *they ignore the proof*.

In a separate article on how it verified the laptop's contents, WPost said it could authenticate some using cryptographic analysis. That was available from the start. But the way we verified the Snowden, Brazil & WikiLeaks archives was also present: confirmation from 3rd parties.

Permit me to ask this one question about the US media: Other than that they genuinely see their role as lying for noble ends, what could possibly justify their refusal to retract their CIA lie that the Biden archive was "Russian disinformation" or at least acknowledge the proof?

Incontinence Ice Cream Biden is done. He perfectly served the agenda: he was embedded off of a stolen election to demoralize the nation and commence the final fall of the USSA empire.

Everything is now in place for an airhead racist hooker to take over, with a wetbrain hag slotting in as VP. And that will cascade and accelerate all of the Psyops that are both in play and standby Psyops that will soon be rolled out.

Do NOT comply.
