Amy Coney Barrett Acts Clueless About
Hunter Biden’s Laptop

Original Article

Posted By: earlybird, 6/29/2024 10:46:21 PM

Justice Amy Coney Barrett painted Big Tech’s suppression of the Hunter Biden laptop stories four years ago as a safeguard against foreign interference in an official Supreme Court ruling on Wednesday. In what could have been a landmark censorship case, Barrett, who wrote the majority opinion in Murthy v. Missouri, characterized tech giants’ reactionary censorship of the laptop story as a good-faith effort to minimize Russian meddling in the 2020 election.

IMO Barrtt is above her pay grade.

Whether they like it or not, the tech giants' social media platforms have become part of "the press" that is addressed in the First Amendment. And where it says "Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of...the press" - the statement has been interpreted by the SC to apply to the entire federal government. By her logic, an Executive Order authorizing the confiscation of firearms would be permissable as a "good-faith effort" to minimize homicides in the U.S. We saw one "good-faith effort" after another by the federal and state governments to keep us safe from the Wuhan flu.

I hereby pose a counter-factual. Barrett is actually anticipating a Trump presidency and providing him with the power to do what the democrat cabal has been doing in terms of manipulating the "news" by censoring unfavorable facts and opinions. Likewise, her position on lack of standing in the Idaho abortion case had the result of defusing a potentially damaging issue. Is it possible that she is simply playing for time until the election to boost Trump's chances? I hope so, but we shall see.

The TECH GIANTS were responding to what the FBI and other intelligence sources were saying to them. So, the question she had to answer was not "was the laptop real" but rather "if the laptop HAD been Russian disinformation... did the media respond properly?". That is what makes this so insidiously dark and evil. The media was, once again, lied to by a government whose intent was to mislead. The media was the messenger. The original source of the message is what needs a kick in the teeth.

China has likely upgraded and expanded its spying facilities in Cuba, according to a new report by an American think tank. (snip) The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), a Washington, D.C.-based think tank, produced the study as a follow-up to The Wall Street Journal’s reporting last year that revealed China had secretly agreed to pay cash-strapped Cuba several billion dollars to establish a Chinese electronic eavesdropping facility on the island. This facility is likely to be used for intercepting communications and gathering intelligence on the United States and its allies, according to CSIS.

I was explaining how Joe Biden is now facing two formidable forces against his 2024 election candidacy, (1) Barack Obama, and (2) the Intelligence Community. A question was raised: “I thought the IC and Team Obama were one in the same?” The answer is no, not really; and the expanded answer is a little more important given the nature of what our nation is facing right now in the 2024 election. ANSWER – Essentially the worst elements of the IC were always present within the deep parts of the apparatus (the “dark arts” parts where the Dick Cheney’s and John Brennan hung out together). However, they were present,

Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., third in line to the presidency, said President Biden must "seriously consider" how to secure his legacy for the future as calls grow among Democrats for Biden to drop out of the 2024 presidential race over concerns about his mental fitness. Murray, who as president pro tempore is third in line to the presidency, said in a statement on Monday that Biden needs to be "more forceful and energetic" on the campaign trail to prove to voters that he is more fit for another term in the White House than former President Trump. "President Biden has to lead the charge in making that case," Murray said.

The Biden family have entered the negotiation stage, as they face two simultaneous enemies aligned in common purpose. Hunter Biden has been brought close into the fold, as the Intelligence Community obviously holds leverage over Dad’s disposition through the entry vector of his son. As this aspect unfolds, the Biden syndicate goes to the mattresses. The threat metric against Hunter is why he is now part of the daily advisory group around the Office of the President. Meanwhile, in a coded message, Joe Biden technically blamed the Obama network today when he called in to the NSNBC radio show and pointed fingers at the DNC elite.

Again, I refrain from too much speculation about the process of replacement, but I solidly affirm my 3-year-old prediction that Biden was always going to be replaced.(snip)the following lead paragraph indicates to me that Joe will soon be gone. If it is now accepted that Hunter Biden and Jill Biden are the official gatekeepers for the White House and the office of the presidency, then that indicates no other White House officials or advisors are trusted to take that role. If this is true, that means all of the professional political networks, the concentric circles that surround the Office of the President, have collapsed.

James Clyburn and Barack Obama are the two democrats who could unilaterally remove Joe Biden by withdrawing their support. It must frustrate Jill Biden to know The Lightbringer and the Ballot Master have that kind of leverage over her appointments at Tiffanys. As a result of this dynamic, we remind everyone to pay close attention to how Clyburn and Obama are indicating their position. Additionally, it is worth remembering how Obama and Clyburn agreed on Kamala Harris as the VP selection in 2020, and informed Joe Biden who would be on his ticket. The Jussie Smollet operation was still active when Kamala was installed with Biden.

In 2022, the Washington Examiner's Becket Adams reported that the Marine Corps Band was instructed to compose an entrance theme for First Lady Jill Biden. The song, Fanfare for the First Lady, was intended to be a counterpoint to the president's Hail to the Chief. But of course, the president is the elected commander in chief, and the First Lady is more of an honorary post. Many of those in the Marine Corps Band said they'd never been asked to do an exclusive First Lady entrance theme before. "Someone in the White House apparently 'had the bright idea, ‘Oh, tell the band that we want music for Jill,'' a source said.
