Masks. Plus: We're now up to FOUR magic laptops!
Who says Trump supporters don't like to wear masks? Seems to me that they've been going to great lengths to cover up.
For example, we know that white supremacists posed as BLM supporters to commit violent attacks on police stations and other targets. Nevertheless, our vile Attorney General spread the "Blame Antifa" lie.
He knows the truth. Don't kid yourself about that.
The Hunter Biden smear -- which Glenn Greenwald and Matt Taibbi, the current masters of the right-to-left sales pitch, are still promulgating -- piles deception atop deception. No sane person believes that Hunter Biden (who lived in L.A.) left an incriminating laptop with a nearly-blind computer repair guy in Delaware.
That tale is a mask. A kind of mask.
It's the latest variation of a classic spy trick, in which spooks working for Country A leave a disinfo-filled briefcase (or wallet, or document folder, or whatever) in a place where spooks from Country B can stumble across it. In World War II, the Brits used an actual corpse as a vehicle of disinformation. This 1956 film was based on that incident.
If they make a movie about the Hunter Biden smear, they should call it The Computer That Never Was.
Many on the right now believe that the Hunter Biden smear was verified by a former business partner named Tony Bobulinksi, who claims to be an eyewitness to skullduggery involving both Hunter and Joe Biden. Near as I can tell, Bobulinski's story has little or nothing to do with that instantly-infamous NY Post article about the Magic Laptop. The most important thing you have to know is this: His claims do not incriminate Joe. Frankly, they don't even sling much mud in Hunter's direction.
I've seen no evidence that Bobulinksi did any business with the Biden family. The venture mentioned by Bobulinski "never delivered any project revenue." No revenue = no business.
So why is he saying these things?
Recently, there was a $659,000 judgment against Bobulinski. A cynic might suggest that the man now has 659,000 reasons to aid Trump. In the future, Tony may carve out a niche within the right's lavishly-funded "news" infrastructure. It is possible that he'll earn some "revenue" through the familiar "book deal" gambit.
How many laptops? Right-wing sources tell us that Hunter Biden dropped off no less than three laptops at that repair shop in Delaware -- the shop which just happened to be owned by a die-hard Trump supporter.
Again: Hunter lived in Los Angeles.
Never mind the unlikelihood of the claim that Hunter managed to forget all about those three laptops, even though one of them was filled with supposedly-damning evidence -- including, we are told, kiddie porn.
But those three computers are not the only laptops. Oh no. We are now told that Hunter also forgot all about a fourth laptop which was positively oozing with evidence of criminality.
As coincidence would have it, Hunter placed Magic Laptop #4 in the possession of yet another enemy of the Biden family. This story, which resists easy summary, is one of the freakiest freak shows in the history of freakiness. Definitely worth a read.
According to the latest yarn, Hunter lived for a while on the east coast with his shrink, a man named Keith Ablow. Surprise! This Ablow character has been claiming for years that Joe Biden is a menace. Two years ago, Ablow gained fame in right-wing circles for his public pronouncement that Joe Biden is a nut and a drunk. (In the real world, Joe doesn't drink.)
Dig it: We are supposed to believe that Hunter roomed with that guy.
Hunter. The guy who has been provably living on the west coast for years.
And here's the kicker: Ablow never mentioned until just now that Hunter was his roomie. Nevertheless, he says he can prove it. There's a photo of the two of them together.
Yeeeeeaaaahhhh. Give me a copy of Photoshop and I'll give you all sorts of photos. Wanna see Rudy G. raping Godzilla Jr.?
Let's sum up the story so far: We are supposed to believe Hunter left yet another laptop filled with incriminating evidence in the home of Doc Ablow, a famous Biden-hater. We are supposed to believe that a DEA raid scooped up Magic Laptop #4 as well as a journal written by Hunter.
Well...no. Not anything.
I don't think that the tale of Magic Laptop #4 is possible. Let's put it this way: I think it is pretty damned unlikely.
From the above-linked NBC story:
At this point, Birkenfeld seemed to recognize how surreal this all sounds: that Hunter Biden would not only professionally see but live with a psychiatrist in a state hundreds of miles from his home—a psychiatrist who accused his dad of having dementia—that he confided intricate details of international corruption during these therapy sessions, that he would leave YET ANOTHER LAPTOP at this TV doctor’s residence; and that the DEA would surreptitiously seize that laptop right when Senate investigators were swarming.
Anyone dumb enough to believe this horseshit would probably take you seriously if you told him that The Wizard of Oz is a documentary. Yet the Washington Examiner wants you to buy it.
As a great American once said: C'mon, man...!
Is this going to happen in every election from now on? Are we doomed to be buried under endless laptops filled with kiddie porn and God-knows-what-else?
Phone home. Here's a tributary of this smear campaign that few have commented upon:
Interesting to see this alleged incoming text on a phone connected to Russia’s @ru_mts mobile network. https://t.co/FKFtTJUul5

Another tributary of this smear -- what we may call the Chinese tributary -- can be traced to a faked persona named Martin Aspen, who arrived on the scene replete with an AI-generated fake photo.
One of the original posters of the document, a blogger and professor named Christopher Balding, took credit for writing parts of it when asked about it and said Aspen does not exist.
Despite the document's questionable authorship and anonymous sourcing, its claims that Hunter Biden has a problematic connection to the Communist Party of China have been used by people who oppose the Chinese government, as well as by far-right influencers, to baselessly accuse candidate Joe Biden of being beholden to the Chinese government.
Balding said Aspen is "an entirely fictional individual created solely for the purpose of releasing this report." Balding did not name the document's main author, saying "the primary author of the report, due to personal and professional risks, requires anonymity."
Fuck you, Balding. I think that you're just another smear-merchant. "Aspen" is just another mask. These guys have more masks than a Halloween store.
There has been so much lying -- so much mask-wearing -- from the anti-Biden forces that one is forced to dismiss out of hand any accusations against any member of the Biden family. Life is short. We must rely on the phrase "Consider the source" to help us zoom past the propaganda.
The Revolver mystery. Here's a bit more information about the "Martin Aspen" deception:
The report itself was shared across Facebook and Twitter around 5,000 times, according to BuzzSumo, and more than 80 sites linked back to the blog, which was shared more than 25,000 times on Facebook and Twitter. Hyperpartisan and conspiracy sites like ZeroHedge and WorldNetDaily led the pack.After the promise of a big reveal one day earlier, the document was also posted on the extremist forum 8kun by Q, the anonymous account behind the QAnon conspiracy theory movement.
On Twitter, the document was pushed by influencers in the QAnon community, as well as by Dinggang Wang, an anti-Chinese government YouTube personality who works for Guo Wengui, a billionaire who fled China amid accusations of bribery and other crimes.
Should we assume that this tale is the product of Chinese moneymen opposed to the Chinese government (and allied with Steve Bannon)? Such is the impression one gets from this important earlier piece by NBC News.
But it's not so simple.
The primary promoter of these smears is a mysterious site called Revolver. This news aggregator advertises itself as the new Drudge Report (Matt Drudge having turned against Trump).
The site has repeated the scurrilous claim that kiddie porn was found on Hunter's magic laptop. Obviously, if such images did exist -- and if they were genuine -- we all would have seen the evidence by now. The Trumpers would not be asking us to follow complex, vague and rather dull tales involving China and Ukraine. That's not what sells. That's not going to send the American public into quivering fits of rage-gasm. That's not the kind of claim likely to change the course of this election.
No. If revolting images of Hunter abusing children actually existed, the Trumpers would make sure that everyone in America could see the evidence (albeit in suitably-censored form). "See? We TOLD you! ALL DEMS ARE PEDOS!"
Right now, these game-changing photos are like the Virgin at Lourdes: Invisible. You must have faith, says Alex Jones, says Rudy Giuliani, says Revolver.
Sorry. No sale. Bannon ain't no Bernadette.
Whitney Phillips, an assistant professor of communications and rhetoric at Syracuse University, said that pro-Trump trolls are "playing the hits from 2016" and hoping they stick with voters who didn't hear the first iteration of the rumor four years ago.
She noted that pushing child abuse conspiracy theories echoes what Bannon has publicly advocated in an effort to alter how voters feel.
"This is gaslighting of the highest order," Phillips said. "This has been the Steve Bannon playbook this entire time. He has celebrated the strategy of 'flooding the zone with s---' — when you confuse people, when you make them angry, when you just sort of throw too many things at them for them to process."
Revolver News both promotes Trump and has been promoted by Trump. This site has been one of the most tireless promoters of the kiddie porn theories.
But who is behind Revolver? 'Tis a puzzlement.
NBC seems to favor the theory that this mystery operation has some connection to anti-China Chinese businessmen, but the evidence suggests that we're dealing with a different kind of malefactor -- the kind who gets all warm and fuzzy when he hears those fourteen words. Or maybe just two words: Sieg Heil.
Revolver News does not disclose on its website who is behind its operations or any corporate affiliations, but Darren Beattie, a former speechwriter for Trump who was fired in 2018 for speaking at an event alongside white nationalists, has claimed authorship of some of the posts on the website.I predicted nearly two months ago that Revolver would be the conduit for the Big Smear against Biden. Yes, yes -- I may have been wrong in my presumption that the Big Smear would grow out of the Epstein scandal. But I was right when I wrote the following about Revolver on September 5:
Don't be surprised if this site "premieres" one of Trump's planned October Surprises.God knows I make plenty of mistakes. But I also get to take the occasional victory lap. I may have been wrong about the exact nature of the Big Smear, but at least I correctly guessed that this smear would involve a charge of pedophilia. And I was correct when I named the messenger service.
The specific Revolver post which first aroused my attention was this one, which argues that Black Lives Matter, in conjunction with Evil Soros, is trying to lead a "color revolution" against Trump. The article makes sneering references to the "Orange Revolution" in Ukraine, the one which kicked out Putin's puppet. According to Revolver, that was a bad thing.
As I wrote at the time:
Yeesh! Could these guys be more obvious? Maybe if their slogan was "EAT MORE BORSCHT"...Although NBC suggests that Revolver is run by anti-China Chinese, this "color revolution" claptrap reeks of Russian propaganda.
Incidentally: If you look at the comments appended to this article, you'll see obviously fake names like "James Cagney" and "Christian Erik Prince" as well as a Russian name or two. One comment links to the Daily Stormer, the infamous neo-Nazi cyber-rag.
And Trump loves this "news" sources.
Is Revolver a product of Russian intelligence? Perhaps -- but at the moment, I won't point the finger at any foreign government.
Once you remove the mask, you will see that our current enemy is the old enemy. He once openly wore the swastika. In the future, he may be bold enough to do so again.
