HUNTER BIDEN LAPTOP EXCLUSIVE: Burisma Asked Hunter to End Ukraine Investigation on Company – Then Joe Biden Threatened Ukraine and Had Investigator Fired

We have the smoking gun!

Who can forget Joe Biden’s presentation in front of the Council on Foreign Relations event after the 2016 Election?

In his own words, with cameras rolling, Joe Biden described how he threatened the Ukrainian President and said that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if Ukraine didn’t immediately fire the prosecutor investigating Burmisa Holdings.

Joe’s son Hunter was on the Board of Burisma making tens of thousands a month for doing nothing but “fixing things”.

Biden said:

I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion dollars. I said you’re not getting the billion. I’m going to be leaving here, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: We’re leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.

Well, son of a bitch, he got fired.”

Sitting to Biden’s right is Michael Carpenter who would later go on to run the Biden Center at UPenn where classified and top-secret documents were recently found. To Biden’s left is Council on Foreign Relations President, Richard Haass.

We have now uncovered an email thread on Hunter’s laptop where Burisma asked Hunter to use his influence to end the Ukrainian prosecutor’s investigation into the company.

In the email thread below on page 3, Burisma requests Hunter to stop an investigation in the Ukraine of Burisma. This email was sent in 2014.

We urgently need your advice on how you could use your influence to convey a message / signal, etc .to stop what we consider to be politically motivated actions…”

Nord Stream Sabotage Was CIA, US Navy Covert Op: Seymour Hersh Bombshell Prompts White House Response

Famed journalist and Pulitzer prize winner Seymour Hersh, who for decades was a star reporter writing for The New York Times and New Yorker, on Wednesday published a new bombshell as his first Substack post, prompting a quick White House response

After conducting his own investigation into who sabotaged the Nord Stream pipelines via a series of underwater blasts on Sept. 26, Hersh has concluded the United States blew up the Russia-to-Germany natural gas pipeline as part of a covert operation under the guise of the BALTOPS 22 NATO exercise.

Hersh, relying on unnamed national security sources, describes months of discussions and back-and-forth involving the Biden White House, CIA, and Pentagon. The report says planning was in the works all the way back to December 2021, with a special task force formed under the aegis of US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan.

"The Navy proposed using a newly commissioned submarine to assault the pipeline directly. The Air Force discussed dropping bombs with delayed fuses that could be set off remotely. The CIA argued that whatever was done, it would have to be covert. Everyone involved understood the stakes," the report, entitled How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline reads.

"The Biden Administration was doing everything possible to avoid leaks as the planning took place late in 2021 and into the first months of 2022," it continues.

As momentum gained to proceed with a covert sabotage attack, "Over the next few weeks, members of the CIA’s working group began to craft a plan for a covert operation that would use deep-sea divers to trigger an explosion along the pipeline," Hersh writes.

But there was significant push back within the intelligence community, but any reservations were overcome in the lead-up and aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. According to the investigative report:

Throughout “all of this scheming,” the source said, “some working guys in the CIA and the State Department were saying, ‘Don’t do this. It’s stupid and will be a political nightmare if it comes out.’”

Nevertheless, in early 2022, the CIA working group reported back to Sullivan’s interagency group: “We have a way to blow up the pipelines.”

GOP Rep Nancy Mace RIPS INTO Fired Twitter Officials Over COVID Censorship – Admits She Has DEVASTATING Side Effects from COVID Vaccine

The House Oversight Committee on Wednesday is holding a full committee hearing on government suppression of speech in regard to the Hunter Biden laptop report. The icommittee called in fired top Twitter officials James Baker, Vijaya Gadde, and Yoel Roth to the hearing.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) took the microphone early into the hearing and RIPPED INTO the fired Twitter officials who censored free speech on COVID and Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Rep. Nancy Mace said she now suffers from asthma and tremors following her second COVID shot!

Rep. Nancy Mace: I along with many Americans have long term effects from COVID. Not only was I a long-hauler, but I have effects from the vaccine. It wasn’t the first shot but it was the second shot. I have now developed asthma that has never gone away since I had the second shot. I have tremors in my left hand. And I have the occasional heart pains that no doctor can explain. And I’ve had a battery of tests. I find it extremely alarming Twitter’s suppression spread into medical fields.

UK Pledges Fighter Pilot Training For Ukraine During Zelensky Surprise Visit

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky showed up in the United Kingdom on Wednesday, making a surprise visit to the leadership of a country which has been one of Ukraine's biggest backers since the start of the Russian invasion.

It is only Zelensky's second known trip out of Ukraine since the war began, the first being his appearance before US Congress in December. He met with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak at 10 Downing St., just before Sunak announced that Britain will train more Ukrainian troops. Zelensky in a special address to parliament made it no secret what he was there to push for…

Sunak mentioned training fighter jet pilots, in what appears anticipation of NATO allies' future approval of providing Western jets. It remains that there's still significant European opposition to providing jets, but Sunak in a press release said the training is to "ensure pilots are able to fly sophisticated NATO-standard fighter jets in the future."

Sunak further pledged missiles and weapons systems with "longer range capabilities and vowed Wednesday, "We will continue to support Ukraine to ensure a decisive military victory on the battlefield this year."

"The United Kingdom was one of the first to come to Ukraine's aid," Zelensky said upon arriving in Britain. "Today I'm in London to personally thank the British people for their support and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak for his leadership."

In his special guest address to parliament, Zelensky hailed the UK's unwavering support of Kiev, saying Britain is "marching with us to the most important victory of our lifetime."

And of course, he took the opportunity to renew his appeal for Western combat jets. "Combat aircraft for Ukraine," he said. "Wings for freedom."

"Two years ago, I left Parliament thanking you for the delicious English tea. Today I will leave Parliament thanking all of you in advance for powerful English planes," said Volodymyr Zelensky in an address to MPs. –Axios

Zelensky also was greeted by King Charles III during a visit Buckingham Palace. Apparently allowed an extremely rare exception when it comes to royal protocol, Zelensky was not in suit and tie, but kept his olive green sweatshirt.

JPMorgan Says Epstein Accuser's Claims Are "Unsupported"

JPMorgan responded to a Jeffrey Epstein accuser's claim that former executive Jes Staley "personally observed" Epstein's abuse, calling the claim "unsupported" and "conclusory."

On Tuesday night the bank asked a federal judge to dismiss an amended lawsuit filed in January by Epstein victims who say that since Staley witnessed abuse, the bank therefore facilitated and had "direct and actual knowledge of Epstein's sex-trafficking venture," Bloomberg reports.

According to JPMorgan, the unsupported allegation that Staley observed Epstein's abuse couldn't be used to impute knowledge to the bank.

"Actual knowledge of Plaintiff’s battery cannot be established by the unsupported assertion that, at an unspecified time, Staley ‘observed [Plaintiff] in circumstances indicating sexual abuse and trafficking,'" reads the response.

Staley, who is not named as a defendant in the suit, has consistently denied knowledge of Epstein’s abuse. He left JPMorgan in 2013 and was later appointed chief executive officer at Barclays Plc. He stepped down in 2021 following a UK Financial Conduct Authority probe into his ties to Epstein.

The amended complaint alleges that Staley, who was JPMorgan’s head of private banking at the time, frequently visited Epstein’s properties, including his New York townhouse massage room, a “stash house” apartment on Manhattan’s Upper East Side and a US Virgin Islands estate. He met many of Epstein’s trafficking victims and witnessed the financier “sexually grabbing” some of them, the suit claims. -Bloomberg

JPMorgan argues that while Epstein's grabbing was "odious," it doesn't establish that the plaintiff was a victim of sex-trafficking, much less that Staley knew that she was, and that the crime of sex-trafficking only applies to children or adults who are forced or coerced.

"Without that crucial detail, Plaintiff alleges nothing more than that a JPMC employee developed a bond with a wrongdoer customer," reads the filing.

New Zealand Police Find 3.5 Tons of Cocaine in Pacific Ocean

WELLINGTON, New Zealand—New Zealand police said Wednesday they found more than 3 tons of cocaine floating in a remote part of the Pacific Ocean after it was dropped there by an international drug-smuggling syndicate.

While they had yet to make any arrests, police said they had dealt a financial blow to everyone from the South American producers of the drugs through to the distributors in what was the nation’s largest-ever drug seizure.

New Zealand Police Commissioner Andrew Coster said the cocaine had been dropped at a floating transit point in 81 bales before it was intercepted by a navy ship, which was deployed to the area last week. The ship then made the six-day trip back to New Zealand, where the drugs were being documented and destroyed.

Coster said the wholesale value of the 3.2 tonnes (3.5 tons) of cocaine was about 500 million New Zealand dollars ($316 million) and it was likely destined for Australia.

“We believe there was enough cocaine to service the Australian market for about one year, and this would be more than New Zealand would use in 30 years,” Coster said.

He said police, customs, and the military found the drugs after launching Operation Hydros in December in collaboration with international partner agencies to identify and monitor the movements of suspicious vessels.

Coster said they were continuing to investigate the case with other international agencies.

Bill Perry, the acting comptroller of the New Zealand Customs Service, said the haul illustrated the lengths that organized syndicates were going to in order to smuggle drugs in the South Pacific.

“We see perhaps this is just an indication that the transnational organized crime groups are testing the market in different ways, so as agencies, we need to collaborate,” Perry said.

Boston Mayor Formally Announces Reparations Task Force

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu announced the members of the city’s Reparations Task Force at the Museum of African American History during a press conference on Tuesday. The task force will study the impact of slavery on Boston and eventually come out with a plan to pay cash reparations to black citizens. Other leftist states and cities — including California — have advanced plans to pay reparations after forming similar task forces.

Mayor Wu, a Democrat, said the program will help to build a better Boston for everyone. “This conversation has been generations in the making, and we are appointing a multigenerational task force to reflect the full breadth of that history and struggle,” Wu said. “We will be another step closer to reconciling our complicated history with our vision for a more connected, more inclusive, more equitable Boston for all of us.”

Boston’s task force will propose reparation payments for those who can document that they are descendants of slaves. Other municipalities have debated on paying reparations to all black citizens regardless of whether they descend from slaves, though Boston has laid out that requirement.

The announcement comes two months after the Boston City Council unanimously agreed to create the reparations committee, The Boston Globe reported. Boston’s reparations task force will study “Boston’s participation in slavery,” and asses “the city’s attempts to repair the harm done by this practice; and then making recommendations on what forms repair could take.”

Five commission members were required to be “descendants of American freedmen, or Africans enslaved in the United States.”

The task force is hoping to complete its work and come up with a payment plan by 2024.

“We want to make sure that we’re grounded in the community,” Joseph D. Feaster Jr., a former Boston NAACP president and member of the commission. “We want to be transparent, we want to be inclusive, and we want to be thorough, and we want to be intentional.”

In announcing the task force last June, Boston — which was the epicenter of the abolition movement prior to the American Civil War — issued a formal apology for slavery and “the death, misery, and deprivation that this practice caused.”

The city has not laid out a concrete plan detailing how exactly reparations will be paid for. In 2021, Cambridge passed policy orders to look into a pilot reparations program, which would funnel an undetermined amount of cannabis tax revenue to Black residents as repair for enslavement, as well as a restitution program for residents impacted by the “war on drugs,” the Boston Globe reported.

On the state level, state Senator Liz Miranda a Democrat from Boston, filed legislation that would create a Massachusetts reparations study commission, and that would establish a reparations fund using a portion of excise taxes imposed on “specified applicable educational institutions.”

Jet-Powered Hypocrisy: Bill Gates Cites His Own Importance to Climate Debate for Massive Carbon Footprint

“Well, I buy the gold standard, of funding Climeworks, to do direct air capture that far exceeds my family’s carbon footprint,” the Microsoft co-founder said, repeating an argument often used by other members of the global elites.

“I spend billions of dollars on … climate innovation. So, you know, should I stay at home and not come to Kenya and learn about farming and malaria?” Gates pleaded rhetorically, an assertion for special treatment he has previously made when challenged on his travelling habits.
