The silly duckwit finds a fake news article from a journalist who i can't find anything he has written about democrats and thinks it's true. It's on the internet thats all the silly duckwit needs.

Several problems with that article the first being there are over 80K photos did the journalist think he saw and remebered all of them?

The article also caught telling lies with hard drive not being shared and being rebuffed when they asked for it.

He still has the original copy. He can simply check and confirm that the images or folders do not exist on the drive.

Plenty of people had / have a copy even Matt gates holds a copy of the illegally stolen data. Apparently the House have also been provided and recorded a copy of the stolen data.

I suspect many of us remember that news organisations that wanted to vet the data before publishing were refused - this was true and reported at the time.

If you can recall the original publishers were unwilling to attribute their names to the story partly for this reason.

Stopping the next Hunter Biden laptop cover-up

Hunter Biden reportedly paid over $1 million in back taxes for income he never claimed, but which was found in his emails — the ones from his laptop that had been dismissed by the mainstream media as Russian disinformation.

The FBI is conducting an ongoing investigation into Hunter’s business activities based on the contents of the laptop. It was only the Bureau's use of the laptop as evidence that finally forced the New York Times this month to admit that what it said last year was false.

See, as the New York Post broke the story that a laptop full of Hunter Biden's files indicated a potential pay-for-play scenario involving then-candidate Joe Biden just ahead of the 2020 presidential election, almost in real time more than 50 former senior intelligence officials signed a letter claiming the emails ‘have all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation’. The signers said their national security experience made them ‘deeply suspicious the Russian government played a significant role in this case. If we are right this is Russia trying to influence how Americans vote in this election, and we believe strongly that Americans need to be aware of this.’

During my 24-year State Department career, I was exposed to foreign disinformation, and as a journalist today, I read the Hunter Biden emails. There is no way experienced intelligence officers could have mistaken the contents of the Biden laptop for fake, produced material.

Lastly, everything on the laptop was verifiable in an hour or two by an organisation like the NSA. They could have had an intern verify the emails, bank statements, wire transfers, etc. using about half the capabilities Edward Snowden revealed they have. James Clapper and John Brennan knew this, and knew equally well that the media, if they picked up the story at all, would not ask any such questions, and the NSA, et al, would never weigh in. It would be our little secret.

So we'll call that letter claiming the Biden emails were potential Russian disinfo a lie, a fabrication, made-up, fake stuff designed to influence an election. That's disinformation by any definition, and evidence the only disinformation op in 2020 was run against the American voters by their own intelligence community working with the media and on behalf of the Democrats.

Almost half of Americans now believe Trump would have won a second term if the media had fully reported on the laptop’s revelations. The scam worked. You know some of its hallmarks now, so keep a sharp eye out in 2024.

Internet Entrepreneur Kim Dotcom: Hunter Biden Will Go To Jail Over Laptop & Joe Will Resign

Founder and former CEO of the file-hosting site Megaupload, Kim Dotcom, is the latest public figure to hint at new data being found on Hunter Biden’s infamous laptop.

Creating a stir online Thursday, Kim said he is working with “the data forensics team that analyzes the Hunter Biden Laptop data,” and that there will be a major release soon.

In addition, Kim claimed Hunter Biden will go to jail in relation to several crimes exposed in the data and that Joe Biden will be forced to resign.

This is an announcement that the Hunter Biden Laptop data, incl. all previously deleted and recovered files, is now with @Wikileaks.

The purpose of this tweet is to take the heat off the Swiss data forensics team that worked on the data.

This isn’t a small task. We are talking about over 100 thousand emails, backups of phones and messages, encrypted zip folders that need to be cracked, etc.

The forensics team found that Hunter installed Spyware on phones of family members and made backups of those messages too.

Kim Dotcom
@KimDotcom
I work with the data forensics team that analyzes the Hunter Biden Laptop data.

Expect a major release soon.
The data reveals numerous crimes.
Hunter Biden will go to jail.
Joe Biden will resign.

Glad to help shutting him down.

This statement echoes similar claims recently made by researcher and political activist Jack Maxey, who said he took his copy of Hunter Biden’s laptop to Switzerland where forensics experts were able to find more data than originally detected.

Maxey got his copy of the laptop hard drive while working with former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani.

The man who originally reported the Hunter laptop after receiving it while working at a Delaware computer repair shop, JP Isaac, recently pushed back against Maxey’s claim of finding more data.

Isaac said on NewsMax Thursday “the original laptop only had a 250 gig drive” and that he was able to recover 220 gigs of data off of it, concluding there can’t be 450 gigs on the device.

Explaining himself on the social media site Gettr, Maxey wrote, “the deleted files found are highly compressed (around 130gb) and when uncompressed they turn into 450gb.”

It’s uncertain if Kim Dotcom is working with Maxey’s team or another group with access to the laptop.

The internet entrepreneur and political activist told his Twitter followers Thursday part of the plan is to expose the media outlets that failed to report on the story despite receiving copies months ago.

To be clear, because of legal advice and the sensitive nature of the Hunter Biden Laptop data I have refused to receive a copy.

One of the most concerning parts of the Hunter Biden Laptop data is the involvement of the Biden family in Ukraine bio labs, researching the genetic modification of deadly viruses to make them more transmissible to humans. It’s the worst kind of research. It can kill millions.

And not only that it is the FBI that have the physical drive all that these guys have is a copy of the data off of the drive. It is not possible to recover more data when you do not have the real drive and not even an image of the real drive.

Perhaps you should reconsider the involvement of Biden in Ukraine, it is a pretty messy story and Russia had no option (right or wrong) once Biden became president.

Quote:

The extent of the Obama administration’s meddling in Ukraine’s politics was breathtaking. Russian intelligence intercepted and leaked to the international media a Nuland telephone call in which she and U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Geoffey Pyatt discussed in detail their preferences for specific personnel in a post‐Yanukovych government. The U.S‑favored candidates included Arseniy Yatsenyuk, the man who became prime minister once Yanukovych was ousted from power. During the telephone call, Nuland stated enthusiastically that “Yats is the guy” who would do the best job.

Nuland and Pyatt were engaged in such planning at a time when Yanukovych was still Ukraine’s lawful president. It was startling to have diplomatic representatives of a foreign country—and a country that routinely touts the need to respect democratic processes and the sovereignty of other nations—to be scheming about removing an elected government and replacing it with officials meriting U.S. approval.

Washington’s conduct not only constituted meddling, it bordered on micromanagement. At one point, Pyatt mentioned the complex dynamic among the three principal opposition leaders, Yatsenyuk, Oleh Tyahnybok, and Vitali Klitschko. Both Pyatt and Nuland wanted to keep Tyahnybok and Klitschko out of an interim government. In the former case, they worried about his extremist ties; in the latter, they seemed to want him to wait and make a bid for office on a longer‐term basis. Nuland stated that “I don’t think Klitsch should go into the government. I don’t think it’s necessary.” She added that what Yatseniuk needed “is Klitsch and Tyanhybok on the outside.”

The two diplomats also were prepared to escalate the already extensive U.S. involvement in Ukraine’s political turbulence. Pyatt stated bluntly that “we want to try to get somebody with an international personality to come out here and help to midwife this thing [the political transition].” Nuland clearly had Vice President Joe Biden in mind for that role. Noting that the vice president’s national security adviser was in direct contact with her, Nuland related that she told him “probably tomorrow for an atta‐boy and to get the details to stick.
