Army Bob: Hunter Biden’s case shows troubling trend

by Robert M. Traxler

We have witnessed a change in the national power base in the last two decades.

Prior to the Internet, invented by the Department of Defense by the way, the print media and the three television networks had the power. An endorsement from a local newspaper could make or break a candidate, and a network news anchor could make or break a national candidate. Is it better to be the king maker than the king, or in this case the President maker? News anchors were wined and dined, editorial boards were feared and coddled by all candidates for any office.

Times have changed.

In the last few election cycles, he/she who used the electronic media the best won. President Obama, then President Trump, used electronic media best and won. The electronic media was open and freely used by both sides of the political divide; the candidate with the best techies had the advantage.

No more; the tech giants, the multi billionaires and their enormous corporations, and their staffs of Silicon Valley millionaire Whiz kids are the new king makers, not by endorsing candidates or working directly for a campaign, but by censoring and blocking information they do not approve of. The practice is not even subtle, it is blatant and open censorship.

Former Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter, a truly despicable human being, has refused to pay child support and was discharged from the Navy for drug use as a few of the items on his resume. Mr. Biden was tossed out of the Navy for failing a test for cocaine, a drug that unlike marijuana, is eliminated from your system in a few days. Ensign Biden knew he was coming on duty and subject to a drug test; he had a waiver for past drug addiction, but he still did the drug?

Even Ensigns and Second Lieutenants are supposed to be smarter than that. He received an ‘other than honorable’ discharge; the media tells us that is fine, as it is not a dishonorable discharge. That’s sort of like saying manslaughter is fine if long as it is not murder.

Now we have a laptop that surfaced with damning information concerning Hunter and his father’s dealings with the Chinese, Russians and Ukrainians. For a second, let’s evaluate how smart it is to take a computer in to be repaired with thousands of emails, account data, and text messages on it? Would you do that? He not only took it in, but forgot it? Then it became the property of the repair shop after a set time had passed.

Mr. Biden’s lawyer even called the shop after the shop owned it and its existence was known, and demanded his client’s computer back? The story was printed in the New York Post, a major American paper, but blocked on Facebook, Twitter and others; is it better to be the King or the King maker? The social media outlets did not block stories concerning President Donald Trump, even as some were proven false; however, they block stories damaging to the socialist party.

Have you noticed the running total of contributions to the two national parties, so prevalent before the Democrats started to outspend the Republicans, has been AWOR (absent without reporting)?  The attacks on the Republicans as the party of Wall Street, the rich and corporations are gone, absent, disappeared?

Secretary Hillary Clinton outspent President Trump by nearly 1.6 to one. Vice President Biden has more money, from the rich and powerful people so hated by the left. No wonder the totals are not reported — they fly in the face of age-old doctrine that the Republicans purchase elections with corporate funds. The Democrats are out spending the Republicans by 5% at this point, and the gap is widening at a rapid pace.

So, my liberal friends in the media, where are you? No outrage, no charges of being in the pocket of Wall Street? The “Tech Giants,” the millionaires in Silicon Valley, not only send money to the Democrats but they censor the bad news concerning Vice President Biden and his son Hunter taking millions from the Russians and Chinese, and toss in the Ukraine for good measure.

Next time the tech giants may be on the side of the right, and then the media will scream bloody murder.
