Focus One More Time On What The "Hunter Biden Laptop" Story In NY Post and Its Aftermath Entailed
Did It All Seem To Be About Crack and Prostitutes? Twitter Files Became the LENS, But By Then We Were Thinking About Other Things
Outtake from Jon Rappoport’s distillation of the bone-chilling Hunter Biden laptop story, distilled as never before via an interview done by a Swiss magazine, with NY Post’s intrepid and remarkable Miranda Devine:
Jon’s intro:
Let’s see. A crime family makes money from a foreign government.Soon, that foreign government has a war on its hands. So it goes to the crime family and says, “Tap that $$ spigot and give us billions.”
“Well,” says the crime family, “that’s a big favor. We’re not sure how much help we can offer.”
“Really?” says the foreign government. “If you don’t come across, we can go public with all the details about your prior criminal connections to us.”
“Oh.”
That’s a rough sketch.
Die Weltwoche, a Swiss Weekly magazine, interviewed NY Post lead reporter Miranda Devine.
“The coverup of our story on behalf of Joe Biden is like Watergate” (weltwoche.ch)
It’s an extraordinary conversation. Here are excerpts and then I’ll make comments:
Weltwoche: There were direct meetings between Joe Biden and his son’s business partners that are well documented.
Devine: Yes, we can see (such meetings) on the laptop at least a dozen times. He met Hunter’s business partners in Beijing, when he took his son Hunter with him to meet the top officials of the Chinese Communist Party, in 2013, on Air Force Two. He met them in Washington, DC; he invited them to his vice presidential mansion. He also had dinner with them at a restaurant called “Cafe Milano,” which is an Italian restaurant, very popular in Washington, DC, in a private room. The guest list is on the laptop, emails inviting people, emails from his Ukrainian benefactor, for instance, thanking him for introducing him [Hunter] to his father.
Weltwoche: Hunter Biden set up meetings with business partners with the sole purpose to meet his father, and Joe attended.
Devine: Hunter Biden set up the dinner for his business partners from the Ukraine, from Russia, and from Kazakhstan to meet his father. That was the first [laptop] email that we published in the New York Post, in October of 2020, showing Hunter Biden's Ukrainian benefactor from this energy company, Burisma, that was paying him $83,000 a month to sit on its board, and he thanked Hunter for introducing him to his father in Washington, DC, when Joe Biden was vice president.
Weltwoche: Historically remarkable about your story is not only the content, but how it was treated by the mainstream and social media. The world recently has learned from Elon Musk’s publication of the “Twitter Files” that the Hunter Biden story had faced coordinated and deliberate censorship by Big Tech. Most disturbing is the involvement of intelligence operatives. Can you explain to our readers what is known about the interference of US intelligence in trying to kill your story?
Devine: Well, I think the coverup of our story on behalf of Joe Biden to ensure he became president is like Watergate. It’s actually bigger than the original story of corruption, which is as old as Washington, and it is astonishing. Every day, really, we seem to learn more and more about the interference of the FBI in that 2020 election, particularly when it comes to the Hunter Biden laptop and the Joe Biden corruption story. Initially, we published our story on October 14, 2020, three weeks before the election, and we held it back until 5:00 AM from going online because we knew it would blow up.
Within a few hours, both Facebook and Twitter had censored the story, had throttled its reach, had stopped it from being shared. In fact, then-President Trump’s press secretary tried to share it privately on direct messages in Twitter, and she was suspended. They were pulling out all of the stops to ensure that this story did not see the light of day. In fact, Twitter locked the New York Post account for more than two weeks until just a couple of days before the election. The New York Post is the oldest newspaper in America, and it’s the third largest by circulation.
This was an enormous decision that these social media companies made, but now we know that they made them under pressure from the FBI, and we know that from, yes, the Twitter Files, but also before that from a lawsuit, a free speech lawsuit that’s being brought against the Biden administration by the attorneys general of Missouri and Louisiana. What we found from both of those sources is that the FBI spent the weeks before the election pre-bunking our story, warning Twitter and Facebook to expect a dump of Russian disinformation to come. In Twitter’s case, they told them that it would likely come in October and likely involve Hunter Biden.
Weltwoche: So, the FBI was in complete knowledge about the authenticity of the laptop. But they decided to kill your story with a remarkable concerted effort. 51 former high-level intelligence operatives published a letter saying that the laptop, and therefore your investigative reporting, had all the earmark of a Russian information operation.
Devine: It [the letter] was published five days after our publication, October of 2020. Most of the signatories were from the CIA, including five former CIA directors or acting directors, and what they said was a lie. They had not seen any of the material. They had not asked to see any of the material. We would’ve been happy to show it to them, but they just used the power and the authority of their former high offices to, basically, destroy our story, demolish our story, and give Joe Biden a fig leaf.
When he went up on stage, a few days later, in the last presidential debate against Donald Trump, he used the letter to get himself off the hook. The rest of the media, after that letter came out, would not touch our story. So, that protected Joe Biden until the election.

A final note: As an American citizen, I want to put it on the record that I experience bodily fear/trauma, familiar to people with C-PTSD, when I even see photos of these people. (Photo above. With apologies.)
It is completely beyond comprehension that this has happened to our country and to the whole world. I do understand there is much more to the war in Ukraine than Hunter and Joe and their disgusting deals, but at the same time, let’s not fail to process this. Jon—clarifying Miranda Devine—has cordoned off the main thing that happened right before our very eyes, we all saw it, we all know it, and yet we have somehow, somehow, come to accept it. It is extremely sickening, and frightening.
No sitting US President has ever posed a greater threat to the United States or the world.
This can not go on. He has got to be criminally charged. Both of them.
Why is this not happening?
Is everything just….media content?
I think I simply can’t write about the Biden Crime Family because the darkness actually amounts to a kind of spiritual attack.
Time to pray and rebuke, and locate Teresa’s Holy Water that she sent me in 2020.
I wholeheartedly agree with everything you just wrote.
The notion that people write off the fact that JB showered with his daughter is nauseating and frightening.
This is the same mental gymnastics that allowed the holocaust to happen
Between our Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau and your President Biden, North America went right down the toilet.
