Hunter Laptop Computer Repairman Says No Way 450 Gigs of Additional Data Was Included on Hunter’s Laptop

Earlier this week it was reported that there are an additional 450 gigabytes of material on Hunter Biden’s laptop that have previously gone unreported. However, on Thursday the computer repairman who was given the abandoned laptop says this isn’t so.

There were several news reports this week suggesting there is more on the Hunter laptop than was previously discovered. However, this notion was refuted by the computer repairman who first looked at the laptop and who made a copy of it before handing it over to the FBI.

John Paul Mac Isaac claims that there 300 gigs of data on a 500 gig drive. There was no way that 450 gigs could be on the laptop because there was no more room.

Another expert explained it this way:

It is technically impossible to recover 450 GB of erased data from a 500 GB drive with only 200 GB free. When you delete a file from a computer, you are telling the OS to forget the location of that file on the drive, but the file is still there. It is possible to recover a deleted file as long as the OS hasn’t written new data over the file’s previous location. If 450 GB of data was un-deleted from the drive, that would leave 250 GB of data recovered beyond the original 500 GB drive capacity. The newly discovered 450 GB of data combined with the existing original 300 GB data would require the original copy of the drive to be at least 750 GB. The drive only had 500 GB.

Isaac says the data doesn’t line up. Simple math would tell us he is right.

NATO member sends missile system to Ukraine

The donation to Kiev does not mean Slovakia has joined the conflict with Russia, its prime minister has insisted

Slovakia has ‘donated’ its solitary Soviet-made S-300 air defense system to Ukraine, Slovakian Prime Minister Eduard Heger said on Friday. The move does not mean Bratislava has entered into a conflict with Moscow, he added in a Facebook post.

“I can confirm that Slovakia donated the S-300 air defense system to Ukraine based on its request to help in self-defense,” Heger wrote in a post accompanied by a video address. The prime minister stated it was a “responsible” decision since the weapons system is “purely defensive.”

He added that Slovakia’s own security has not been compromised in any way through the move and its air defenses would be “strengthened” in the “coming days” by additional air defense system supplies from its “allies.” The minister didn’t name the nations that are expected to provide Bratislava with arms.

Meet Sarah Whitt the Official Behind the Wisconsin Voter Rolls that Included 3.42 Million Extra Ineligible Voters and Now Works for ERIC

Who has been in charge of Wisconsin’s horrific voter registration database? You might be surprised to learn one of the nation’s top election data specialists ran it for 14 years. Sarah Whitt was the “Functional Lead” over the SVRS (Statewide Voter Registration System) under the Government Accountability Board. She continued this roll after GAB was dissolved in 2015 and become WEC. “Sarah has been working with the SVRS since its inception in 2005″.

WEC admits they have 7.1 million in the database but only 3.68 million are eligible to vote. WEC (and Whitt) kept everything in one database. Even dead voters are not separated out. County clerks showed only 2 clicks can make voters active again. Other investigations show data missing in required fields, thousands of identical 1918 birth dates, illegible text entries, missing last names or addresses, up to 25 Voter ID’s for one registration, and other inexcusable issues. Charging $13,500 for voter data helped hide these atrocities.

Whitt is a highly skilled election data specialist. She’s been involved in very important election projects in WI and nationwide. In fact, she was so important that WEC Administrator Meagan Wolf penned a letter announcing Whitt’s departure. Wolf says “Sarah will continue working with Wisconsin both in her new role with ERIC and on special projects with WEC.” You read that correctly. Whitt is now employed by the ERIC non-profit that helps clean voter rolls. She will also work for WEC. She’s also working with Michigan elections (farther down).

In May of 2019 Sarah Whitt became the 3rd paid employee of ERIC and their “Systems and Data Specialist”. The other 36+ people associated with ERIC are Board members, Directors, and advisors. Working as a remote employee from Madison, Whitt now had access to ERIC’s 350 million records and the “Senzing” software they use to scrub that data. However, a massive 957,000 individuals registered to vote in Wisconsin from 1/1 to 11/3 of 2020. Not one ERIC report was processed during all of 2020 to help clean these registrations.

Former Goldman Banker Found Guilty Of Fraud And Money Laundering In 1MDB Case

Paging Lloyd Blankfein (wherever he is)…the relatively junior Goldman Banker Roger Ng, formerly the head of Goldman's investment banking business in Malaysia, has been found guilty on all three counts following a weeks-long trial at a federal courthouse in Brooklyn.

Specifically, Ng was charged with two counts of conspiring to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and one count of conspiring to commit money laundering.

He now faces up to 30 years in prison at his sentencing, Bloomberg reports.

Ng was found guilty after his former boss, Tim Leissner, struck a deal with prosecutors to turn states' evidence. Despite a valiant effort by Ng's defense team, which included exposing Leissner's neck-deep complicity in the scheme, and his role as the mastermind of the 1MDB bond deals that netted Goldman hundreds of millions of dollars in fees, while seeding 1MDB with billions of dollars - money that was supposed to be used for public works, but was instead siphoned off by former PM Najib Razak and his inner circle (including mastermind Jho Low, who remains a fugitive from justice and is believed to be hiding in China). The money was ultimately used as a political slush fund to buy votes for Razak's re-election, while Low also stole billions and used it to throw lavish parties, gift celebrities (including model Miranda Kerr) with fabulous jewelry, purchase luxury yachts and real-estate and finance the making of the Martin Scorsese film "The Wolf of Wall Street".

Finland Hit With Cyberattacks, Airspace Breach, At Moment Zelensky Addressed Parliament

Finland was hit with cyberattacks targeting government sites on Friday just as Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky was addressing Finnish Parliament. The Ukrainian leader has regularly been giving formal speeches before lawmaking bodies across the West and the world, making urgent please for additional military and humanitarian assistance to his besieged nation.

The attack impacted both the Ministry of Defense's website and the foreign ministry's site, the latter which later clarified that it was a denial-of-service attack, noting that the issue has since been resolved.

The defense ministry earlier issued an urgent tweet saying its website was experiencing and attack and would have to shutter until things were resolved.

The attacks are suspected as coming from Russia, also given reports that a Russian government aircraft may have breached Finnish airspace on Friday, according to Bloomberg.

According to details in Finnish media:

A Russian government fleet aircraft is suspected of violating Finnish airspace in the Gulf of Finland off Porvoo on Friday morning. According to the Ministry of Defense, the suspected airspace violation by a IL-96-300 lasted three minutes.

The ministry's communications office told Yle that this was the first violation of Finnish territory this year. The most recent previous violation of Finnish airspace by a Russian plane was in July 2020.

Minister of Defense Antti Kaikkonen subsequently stated on Twitter, "Our territorial surveillance capability is good and we detect all territorial violations and are able to respond to them effectively."

The reported cyberattack had happened as Zelensky addressed Finish lawmakers, condemning atrocities he alleged were intentionally carried out by Russian forces:

Former BLM Leader Calls Report On Organization Buying $6 Million Mansion 'Racist', 'Misinformation'

Black Lives Matter (BLM) co-founder Patrisse Cullors has spoken against a report that reveals her organization’s purchase of a $5.8 million mansion in southern California, calling the story a “racist and sexist” attack on the movement.

According to the April 4 report by New York Magazine, the 6,500 square-foot California estate was bought in October 2020 using money that had been donated to Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, which acts as a fundraising umbrella for BLM activism. It’s unclear who leads the foundation since Cullors stepped down from her position in May 2021 amid criticism over its lack of financial transparency.

The ownership of the house, which comes with “half a dozen bedrooms and bathrooms, several fireplaces, a soundstage, a pool and bungalow, and parking for more than 20 cars,” was transferred to an LLC in Delaware so that the new owner’s identity would not be disclosed, the magazine claimed.

In a statement sent to the magazine on April 1, BLM board member Shalomyah Bowers said that the Foundation had “always planned” to disclose the California house, which they had bought “with the intention for it to serve as housing and studio space for recipients of the Black Joy Creators Fellowship.”

The said fellowship, which “provides recording resources and dedicated space for Black creatives to launch content online and in real life focused on abolition, healing justice, urban agriculture and food justice, pop culture, activism, and politics,” was only announced on April 2, the following morning.

Amid a new round of scrutiny over how BLM spends its donation money, Cullors called the magazine’s mansion story a “despicable abuse of a platform that’s intended to provide information to the public.”

“The fact that a reputable publication would allow a reporter, with a proven and very public bias against me and other Black leaders, to write a piece filled with misinformation, innuendo and incendiary opinions, is disheartening and unacceptable,” she wrote in an Instagram post.

US Condemns 'Horrific Russian Attack' On Train Station, Which Left 30 Dead, As Kremlin Rejects "Provocation"

There are widespread reports that dozens have been killed and over 100 injured, mostly civilians, after what's being described as a Russian missile strike hit a railway station in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk.

"Russia hit the railway station in Kramatorsk today," Ukrainian police said in a statement. "The rocket hit the temporary waiting room, where hundreds of people were waiting for the evacuation train." Local authorities say they've counted about 30 among the dead.

The transport hub has been key for the evacuation of civilians fleeing fighting in the Donbas region, where Russia has of late concentrated most of its military operations, also as UK military intelligence on Friday said that its observed that Russian forces have now "fully withdrawn" in the north, going back to Belarus and Russian soil.

Police further said there's a frantic emergency response at the scene. "It is already known there about 30 dead people, including children, and about 100 injured," a statement said. "Assistance is being provided to all who need it." The city's mayor said it was "proof" that Russia is "barbarically" killing civilians.

Ukraine's Ministry of Defense said that Russian forces carried out two missile strikes on the train station at the very moment an evacuation was in progress. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky issued a statement condemning it as an "evil that knows no bounds".

According to Fox News, "Images taken in recent days have depicted large crowds of Ukrainians standing on the station’s platforms hoping for a chance to escape Russia’s bloody invasion, which has now entered its 44th day."

Soaring Inflation Brings $300 Million Profit For Goldman Traders

In a time when Goldman was aggressively telling its retail clients to come on in, the water is nice and warm, and buy stonks, keeping its 5,100 year-end price target for the S&P (before cutting it to 4,900 and then again to 4,700 as chief strategist David Kostin was "shocked" to learn that the Fed will hike and hike and hike to crush the soon-to-be double digit inflation) even as it was selling billions of stocks for its own account…

… the bank was also taking the other side of its client trade by aggressively capitalizing on inflation - the same inflation that tends to send stocks sharply lower - with Bloomberg reporting this morning that Goldman traders made "hundreds of millions of dollars from inflation trading so far this year", as the Wall Street giant benefits from the war-fueled surge in European consumer prices which as we reported last week, soared past analysts’ forecasts to 7.5%, the highest year-on-year rate in the history of the single currency.
