The entirety of our media is a vast propaganda machine that isn't meant to inform us in making our decisions, it's meant to shape our decisions (and our votes) by controlling the information we access.

Not only was derogatory information about the Bidens suppressed, but negative information about Trump was manufactured out of whole cloth and amplified. It was election interference...and it's continuing today.

Also, Covid was used as an excuse to institute "election reforms" that made election fraud easy...by design. As it stands now, nobody - left or right - can have confidence that only eligible voters cast legal ballots and that our votes are accurately counted.

Considering our current state of affairs, I'm not sanguine about the prospect for the next election being "free and fair."

Regretfully, I cannot dispute anything you say. I wish more people understood. Election stealing now occurs by methods not previously envisioned, but it is still stealing. Those who refuse to recognize that are like generals fighting the last war.

Excellent piece John. I eagerly await your follow-up post. Unfortunately we're at the point where I hope most media outfits follow the same path as Sports Illustrated and go bankrupt. As for the FBI it's time for them to be disbanded, they have lost their moral compass.

Thanks, Dan. Interestingly, just after it was posted, a couple of subscribers unsubscribed immediately. Some people see the words "stolen election" and immediately refuse to hear any more.

I her ya m rapp. Citizens sleep safely in their beds because rough men stand guard but they do not want to know what we have to do to enable them to sleep safely. Reminds me of Col Jessup's rant in A Few Good Men.

That is a mess. Not much explanation why Roberts or Barret would vote this way. Does not seem to support states rights.

There are some rumors that Roberts is compromised but I don't know that. I have never heard that said about Barrett. It makes one wonder when they make decisions like this.

It’s now the government against the people instead of for the people! Regular citizens now live in abject fear of government bureaucracies, the military, IRS, CIA & politicians who have decided we are the ants, we are not worthy of respect or consideration. If we do not comply we are slated for financial & emotional death. DC is a communist state, regulating & controlling us exactly like a communist state & they are operating in full view of Americans! It’s an in your face government knows best & accountability is non existent. They are organized, excessively funded & backed by lawless lawyers, corrupt judges & a woke military. Soooo tell me how in the hell we can fight back when elections are manipulated & stolen, IRS agents can storm your house & destroy everything you own & the injustice system will bankrupt you & destroy your entire life! The problem here is the people don’t have the resources to fight back! The government & its bureaucracies do have it & are dedicated to eradicating all our freedoms. It’s a catastrophic mess! We are now being tread on! 🤬🤬🤬

Excellent coverage of the entire sordid event, this horrific misuse of US agencies to foist upon the public known lies to promote their favored candidate down the stretch in 2020. There is no doubt bad actors inside the FBI committed treason, and aided and abetted the scheme created by Hillary Clinton to falsely accuse Trump of collusion with Russia. She had been guilty of serious wrongs during her Secretary of State tenure, including the destruction of evidence regarding her illegal handling of classified materials.

This is silly. I'm rather dubious any significant number of people were fooled by the FBI's attempt to paint the laptop as "Russian disinformation".

These kind of fights are a distraction from the actually problem, old fashioned election fraud.

Eugine, respectfully it doesn’t matter that much if most people were fooled. Remember, prior to the election many, probably most people did not pay attention to the story precisely because it was censored. So most had no opinion about it. The larger point is that the media fed off the FBI’s involvement and it was one of the things that contributed to censoring the story. It gave the media cover in their censorship.

Also, the Post’s article focused on the Ukrainian connection. As we now know, there was so much more on the laptop than that. Had it not been suppressed, other people could have joined in the effort to review it and more about the Biden’s corruption could have come out.

The FBI played a key role in that suppression even though by then it knew that the laptop was not Russian disinfo. That was essentially a new way to steal an election.

So I hope maybe I have convinced you that it is not silly. If not, stay tuned for the next installment.

John, I would add that after the election and after the bona fides of the Hunter laptop were known, polls showed that Biden would have lost the election. https://nypost.com/2022/08/26/2020-election-outcome-would-differ-with-hunter-biden-laptop-coverage-poll/
